FoaMEs EsIpENr THINKS
TIME RIPE FOR AN INTERNA-
TioNAL COURT or JUSTICE.
PLAN PROVED FEASIBLE
ASKS CITIZENS OF COUNTRY TO
STAND BY WILSON IN PHiLA-
DEIPHiA ADDRESS.

Western Newspaper Union Nsws Service
> Cleveland. Ohio.-Former President
William Howard Taft. speaking at
the Worlds Court Congress- Wednes-
day outlined his plan for the estab-
lishment of League of Peace and
Arbitration Court with the object OF
settling by arbitration differences be-
tween the nations of the world and
preventing further wars.
AT time when nearly all OF Eu-
rope is at war and our own country
is uncomfortably near to the disturb
ance. the launching of a plan for an
international court OF justice seems
propitious," he said
Such league should include all
the great nations. Mr. Taft explained.
with an agreement that should any
signatory power begin war against
another member without first sub
mitting its grievance to the court, all
the other signatories would be bound
to join in forcible defense of mem
bers thus prematurely attacked.
II am aware that membership in
this league would involve on the part
of the United States an obligation to
take part in European and Asiatic
wars" he said. "and that In this re-
spect II would be a departure from
the traditional policy of the United
States in avoiding entangiing alli-
ances with European or Asiatic coun-
tries.
But | conceive that the interest of
the United States in the close rela-
tions 1t has of business and social
character with the other countries Of
the world, much closer now than ever
before, would justify It In running the
risk that there might be of such war.
ITO constitute an effective league
of peace. we do not need all the ma
tions. Such an agreement between
eight or nine of the great powers OF
Europe, Asia and America would fur
nish a useful restraint upon possible
war The successful establishment OF
peace league between the great
powers would draw into it very
quickly the less powerful nations
| Philadelphia. Pa - Former Presi
dent William II. Taft urged patience
and calmness in the present interna
tional situation. and called upon the
citizens of the country to stand by
President Wilson. in an address at
| the Union League here.
Referring to the sinking of the
Lusitania, Prof. Taft said the "inhu.
manity of the circumstances in the
case presses us on, but in the heat OF
even Just Indignation is not the best
time to act, when action involves
such momentous consequences and
means untold loss of life and treas
| ure.
There are things worse than war.
Mr. Taft declared, but delay due to
calm deliberation cannot change the
situation or minimize the effect OF
what we finally conclude to do.
But we must bear in mind that II
| we have war it is the people who
must pay. with lives and money. the
cost of it, and, therefore, they should
not be hurried into the sacrifice until
| 1t is clear that they wish 1t and know
what they are doing when they
wish it,
"A demand for war that cannot sur
vive the passion OF the first days oi
public Indignation and will not en-
dure the test of delay and delibera
ton by all the people is not one that
| should be yielded to-"

HOLD MEETING
5Oth Annual Gathering of As
sociation at Miles City
Most Successful

Last week the Montana Stock
Growers association held it's thir-
t'eth annual meeting at Miles
City, which was attended by
more Montana growers than U.S.
ual and the meeting was a sue
cess in every way.
Governor Stewart, Congress-
man Stout, Attorney General
Kelly, Secretary of State Alder
son and other men of prominence
were on the program for talks.
Much attention was given recent
legislation effecting stock inter-
ests, and it was the consensus of
opinion that the stockraising in
dustry in Montana is gradually
being adjusted to new conditions
and that the future Of this busi-
ness is exceedingly bright.
The association went on record
tavoring uniform bounty laws
for western states, to the end
that the bounties may be no high
er In Montana than elsewhere,
which is now the case. The state
board of stock commissioners
was authorized to set aside a
sum of money to investigate any
fraudulent practices that may be
used to secure bounties on stock.
destroying animals. A resolution
was adopted opposing herd laws
as being detrimental to the in
terests of the stockgrowers. The
association reafirmed it's former
position favoring federal control
OF public grazing lands.
The following officers were e.
lected for the coming year: Pres
ldent, K. 2. Heren; vice presi-
dent, Wallis Huidekoper: second
vice president, Randolph DeibeI;
secretary, d. w. Raymond.
Edgar Wear, Walter Maxwell
ana VIM. Lang will serve on the
executive committee as represent
tatives of Fallon county.

w. H. Spencer A Suicide

On last Saturday evening at
the Laney ranch west of town
VIM. H. Spencer ended his life
with a ball from a 5000 rifle.
He had been living alone at the
ranch for some time where he
was in charge of a bunch of
horses that he had been running
in partnership with J. p. Hedges.
The first intimation that any.
thing was wrong at the Lanev
ranch was when Earl A. Tooke's
boy rode in with a letter for Mr..
Tooke from Spencer. The note
follows:
Friend Earl:
Get word to Doc as soon as
you can that | am a thing of the
past. Come over and look after
the stuff until someone gets
here. Goodbye.
wv. H. Spencer.
Immediately upon receipt Of
this note Mr.. Tooke rode over to
the Laney ranch, one-half mile
away, but was too late to pre-
vent the act of self destruction.
He found Spencer lying on the
floor in the house with the rifle
across his body and pointing to-
ward his head. The entire top
Of his head had been blown off.
Death had been instantaneous.

Word was sent in to Coroner
Colvin and Sunday morning a
jury was called at the ranch,
consisting of VIM. Sweeney, r.
". Fuqua, VIM. Burger. Charles
Peters. Clarence Sisly and John
Hall. After a brief examination
the jury returned the verdict
that deceased had come to his
death by suicide.
VIM. Spencer was a man in
middle life. unmarried, and. had
lived in this vicinity for about
twelve years. coming here from
north of the Yellowstone. No
word was left as to any surviv-
ing relatives. Spencer had made
out a will about a year ago in IA
vor of DR.. Colvin, to whom he
was financially indebted. No di-
rect cause for the act can be as.
cribed other than the man had
been somewhat unsuccessful in
business ventures and had be-
come discouraged. "Bill" had
a likeable character and had
many staunch friends, especially
among the old timers, in this dis
trict, to whom his death comes
as shock.
1nterment was made in the
cemetary at Ekalaka on Sunday
afternoon.
