hitherto most OF our prominent
political leaders have not ventured
to take any thorough going and
clean-cut position In this matter.
They have not ventured to expose the
essential immortality OF the ultra
pacifst or peace-at-any-price posi-

from the party standpoint. II Is GER

Pacifsts Have Brought
Only Contempt For Nation

Now as to the pacihsts. They have
told us that II we remain helpless We
shall escape all difficulties with other
nations and earn their good will. Let
them ponder on what has happened In
Mexico today. Let them ponder our
relations at this moment with Ger
many and the other great powers en-
gagged In the world war. They will
then realize the utter futility OF their
hopes. A. .
to the fact that we have not avoided
trouble In Mexico. On the contrary.
although we are assured that we are at
peace with Mexico we have. killed an
wounded nearly as many Mexicans as
were killed and wounded among the
spaniards when our armies In the Span
ish war took Santiago and Manila. -.

of the Mexicans. They hate US and
despise us infinitely more than they

"The policy Of pacifism has been prac-
tically applied In Mexico. and II has
resulted In incslculable loss Of life and
property. II has gaiped us the utter
contempt Of the people with whom we
dealt; and It has brought us to the
verge OF war with them.
Exactly the same thing IL true as
regards Germany. For sixteen months
we have been employed In sending Ger

The avowal of the cause of Mr..

one of the distinct features of the
present campaign, II would be sig
nlficant In itself that n man OF his
prestige, who had always trained
with tho democratic party, had es-
pouscd the cause OF the republican
candidate. But In Mr.. linryoy's case

Opening of Fort Assiniboine Mill

Indians. They are to live "peacea-
bly, ever after"
Hayre, Mont. oct. 20.-The stony
pathway OF the Rocky Boy Indians
has at last led to the green sward. 3"
Driven about from pillar to post ever
since they wandered across the Cana
dian boundary through Glacier Ma
tlonal Park. Montana several years
ago az tramp tribesmen OF the Cree
Nation. this band OF three hundred
red men have had so hard a lot that
the nickname fell naturally upon
them.
Now. with the opening Of the Fort
Asslnibolne Military reservation, EN-
bracing 100000 acres near this city,
the United States government will set
aside $1,000 acres for them. They
are rejoicing In the fact that they
are to have a permanent home.
There are about $4,000 acres OF
tillable land In this tract and this is
TO bo thrown open TO white settlers.
The reservation is In the Bear Paw
mountains.
Uncle Sam has departed from tho
regular lottery In the disposition OF
this land to settlers. APPLICATION for
parcels In this tract may be made at
Hayre, Montana, from Oct. 20 TO Nov.

ton is the better equipped and the
more likely TO render the highest
public serv.ce2 The other IL, which
of the two designated leaders is the
more certain to preserve. protect and
defend the Constitution of the Unit
ed States2 Such an issue as the
democrats claim, that Mr.. Wilson has
kept MS out OF war and therefore Is
entitled to reelection, Is brushed
aside as something that has no prop
or place In the mind OF the voter of
this year. In Mr.. llarvey's judgment
only the most insane partisan would
venture To- suggest a possibility OF
Mr.. Wilson or Mr. Hughes melting or
inviting war with any European or
Asiotic power. and therefore there Is
no fair issue between them on this
question.
There are three elements that are
involved IN the answers to these Two
questions, those OF military and in
dustrlal preparedness. government b
dustrial preparedness. government by
and for the people. and national hon
or and opportunity. SO far as all OF
these are concerned. the answer Is
the same; Mr. Hughes II the man
who should be chosen from each and
every standpoint-botha as the repre-
sentative OF the republican party and
as an individual. The best interests
OF the country are to be served by
his election.
Mr.. Harvey calls attention TO the
fact that the utter absence Of self
seeking on the part OF Mr. Hughes
throughout his entire career. con-
firms the belief that he does, In fact.
from the very nature OF his beng,
stand for America first"
On the other hand, no less surely
aud most dlsappoIntlngly, happen
ings OF the past two years culminat'
ing In tho betrayal OF his country for
the qualification OF personal ambi-
tion, prove incontestably that Mr.
Wilson stands for Wilson first. That
is Mr. faryey's opinion. In his iurg-
ment there is no need To seek a con
clusion; IL finds itself The sum
ming up Of the situation Is that upon
the candidates. there Is no reason
why any professed republican. any
thoughtful progressive or any prln-
cipled democrat should not, and ey-'
cry reason why every patriotic repu-
blican should vote for Mr., Hughes
for president
Such advice from such a source
should make a deep impression upon
the American electorate, II certainly
is not given through any prejudice
against Mr.. Wilson,. for its author
would naturally be pred.sposed in fay
or OF the president. Nor does II
come from any lack of knowledge of
Mr.. wilson's methods and intent. The
intimacq of the two men has been

TWO BANKERS OF
LITTLE ROCK ARE
FOUND GUILTY
Garanflo and Duncan Con-
victed on All of Six
Charges.

Little Rock, April 14.-W. Fl. Gar
anflo, former president, and r. d.
Duncan, former vice president and
cashier of the defunct State National
bank, were convicted bya jury in the
United States court today of five
charges of misapplication of funds
and one charge of conspiracy. Judge
Frank Youmans announced he would
impose sentence Monday.
Each count upon which they were
convicteds carries minimum peni-
Tertiary sentence of five years, and a
maximum of ten. A fine of $4,000 also
also can be assessed for each charge.
Attorneys for the convicted men
said immediate appeals to the United
States circuit court of appeals Would
be taken.
Mr.. Garanflo and Mr. Duncan were
indicted October 20, 1915, on charges
that originated when r. NJ. Huston,
of the department of justice, acting
under the comptroller of the currency,
investigated conduct of the State Ma
tional bank and the State Trust COM
pany, subsidiary concern. The
Safe National bank closed June "a,
1914
When the bank closed deposits on
| it's books aggregated approximately
100000. There were 1000 depositors.
At first the bank was declared solvent
and the comptroller turned it over to
: a board of the directors. Later it
was declared insolvent and Lloyd
England was named receiver. Two 10
per cent dividends have been paid the
depositors since Mr.. England took
charge.
The five charges on misapplication
of funds were based on five crafts
issued by the officials, drawn on the
State Trust company's account with
the State National bank.
