WOULD ARBITRATE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The American Union Against DIilitarism, whatever
that is has invited W. Bryan and two other Americans
to meet three prominent MeXcans at Ell PasO and try to
arbtrate the differences between this country and Mex
co Arbitration is good thing in most cases. but this
where it cannot be used In the first place Mexico
has no government with which we can deal Carranza,
the nominal head of such government as Mexico can
claim is utterly pOweress to carry out any agreement
that might be reached and his promises of the kind
made to be broken
There is no dispute between the countries nothing to
be argued arbitrated The United States wants moth
ing but for the MeXcans to stay their side of the
border and while there to protect the lives Of such Amer
leans and other foreigners within her bOrdeTS just
as MeXicans are protected in this country.
Suppose these gentlemen should meet and arrive at
the conclusion that eXicans should stop rading across
the border and killing Americans would that make any
change in the stuaton Would Carranza and the other
bandits pay any attention to six arbitraOr than to
the demands of the United States?
The United States has simply said to Mexico: "Thou
shalt not kill Thou shalt not stea Thou shalt love they
neghbOr as thyself" Can these be arbtrated? Would
it not be astounding spectacle to great nation
sOlemnngly agreeing with utterly irresponsible gang
of bandits to arbtrate the ten commandments?
Yet this American Union Against MlitariSm gravely
suggests that the Uated States do this thing so far at
least as three of the commandments are concerned.
The Oregonian doubts the propnety of appointing At
torney General Gregory to the place on the supreme
bases its doubt the fact that Gregory has been
attorney general connected with the Utah water power
suit and others that would necessarily before
him as justice; and that he would have precOnceved
opinions concerning these questions While this is
doubt true would it be possible to get any the
bench who would not have some prOcOnceived opinions
as to some of the cases that would come before him? If
such could be found would not the fact that he was
person who had opinions any subject make him
unfit for the place?

Flags Of the world give answer;
Men are whispering TO and fro.
And what do they know of freedom,
Who other emblems know!
The weary, toil-worn serfS,
Who from hunger faint and lag
Are lifting their voices in their home
lands
To cheer for our country's flag.
Must we lower the flag of freedom,
To color anew with bloodo
Our flags the great world standard,
Upheld by the hand of God
We dare to offer freedom.
Our flags the world 5 10 share
What is the flag of freedom!
Flags of the world declare.
NorWay'S flag and sweden,
Dip in the breeze amain,
And the answer is flung worldwide
Shouted to hill and plain.
' You have taken our best aud bravest.
They prosper upon your sod,
They form the strength of your en-

This message comes from the flags.

Never before has Montana wit
messed such an influx of honne-
seekers as in 1916. This is true
with respect to eastern aid can-
trail Montana especially. Within
six weeks, one firm has disposed
of more than 100000 acres of
Northern Pacific railroad lands in
Dawson, Prairie and Custer c',uIi-
ties, while reports from iInniiyra-
ton officials of the Milwaukee line
indicates the heaviest movement
known with respect to Incoming

While there are still millions
of acres available under the pro-
visions Of the homestead laws,
really desirable tracts are rapidly
being taken, and it is predicted
that should the pending 6i0-acre
measure now before congress be-
come a law. there would noa b. an

after.

with great favor. 1t gives the f.l :
