PREPAREDNESS" TALK
. FROM TWO VIEWPOINTS
Question Debated by Col. Robert
Thompson and Robert
Deerin Call.

A debate took place yesterday after
noon at Polls Theater between Col.
Robert NJ. Thompson. president Of the
Navy League, and Arthur Deerin Call,
secretary of the American Peace So
ciety, on the subject of increased mill
tary preparedness for tho United
States Col Thompson presented argu-
n1ents declaring it IL necessary to in
crease the oountrys military prepared
ness and Mr.. Call took the negative
side Of the question -. -...-- ...- ..
Issue as Presented.
The Affirmative statement for use in
the debate, advanced and supported by
Col. Thompson, was as follows:
I'm the event of war today we would
have to surrender the sea to our en-
envy. Our army is hopeless even to
control the Mexican situation. and it is
the constitutional duty of Congress to
increase the army and navy to point
whence they will provide adequate ma
tional defense. which would cost only
what is spent in chewing gum every
year"
The negative, supported by Mr.. Call,
was as follows:
Peace rests neither upon force nor
fear This country is in less danger of
attack today than ever before. This
damning shibboleth and imbecility of
preparedness is fostered in war-strick-
en- Europe. The Prussian madness of
it is sweeping like an infections dis
ease all over the world / do not know
that this preparedness is the instru-
ment of interests for profit. but when
one has Office and the opportunity
comes he will not refuse"
Col. Thompson's Contention.
Col Thompson declared that every
man. in addition to his rights. has a
duty to his country. and that this duty
Is an essential basis for an army. Two
years ago, he said, no one would have
believed possible such a war as Is now
going on in Europe. He instanced the
Mexican situation, and the various dis
putes with which the United States
has been and is engaged in with coun-
tries of Europe as reason for being
prepared. declaring that hattleships
are cheaper than battles. He said the
United States is able to pay as much
for national defense as it pays for
chewing gum. He said the people of
this country spend s10o, 900, 900 an
nually for chewing gum.

DRY BEHIND THE EARS"

The following letter was received
at this office during the week, signed
by farmer of Valley county.
The Glasgow Courier, July %, 2916.
Glasgow, Mont.
Mr.. Editor:
In a recent issue Of paper printed
in your city read very mean refer
ence to Stillman C. Moore, who is
candidate on the Republican ticket for
nomination for the Office of Clerk of
the District Court. The article says
he should get "get dry behind the
ears" as resident of Valley county
before asking for the nomination and
sneers because he has been in the
county only a little over two years.
1t seems to me that the article is
a very mean slam at lot of US new
commers in the county who have come
here to. make this our home. There
are lot of US here who may not be
very "dry behind the ears" but we
have vote and believe me we will
use it for Moore.
The present occupant of the Office
of Clerk of the Court, i learn, has
held some political Office for the past
eleven years as receiver of the local
land office at 100000 per year and
in, the office he now holds. AT one
time he. held both Offices for a period
of about six months hrawing two SAL
cries besides the fees attached, ,includ-
ing one half of those collected for
naturalization.
When it comes to being attached to
the the taxpayers pocketbook, it seems
that man who has drawn down about
100000 and fees during the past
eleven years has been cared for long
enough, and ought to be willing to let
go and not be out trying to make it a
life job through the vote of those who
like Mr.. Moore, are not yet 'dry be-
hind the ears" as residents of this
county but can vote.
Yours truly,
A new settler

WASTED COUNTY FUNDS

Records of court cases and their
cost to the taxpayer in the present
18th Judicial District make it appar-
ent that there is need of a COMPETENT
judge to stop the waste of the county
funds in that department now prevail
lent. An examination of the manner
in which this department has been
conducted during only the past 18
months will show there has been a
laxity in methods costing taxpayers
many unnecessary dollars.
Very few people realize the expense
in court cases must come out of the
county funds; that the costs of jurors
in both civil and criminal cases, and
IN addition to this the cost of state
and defendent witnesses in criminal
cases must be born by the taxpayers.
When this is taken into consideration
it can readily be seen that \ dilatory
judge not inclined to be prompt at
court, and one who considers his own
convenience more important than the
taxpayers requirements can add un-
necessary expenses to the county that
will, during a term Of Office, amount
to a very considerable sum. -
One instance Of useless waste of
Valley County funds. may be pointed
to in the case of Geo. Hibben who in
March, 1915, took a shot at a poor

Representatives Fordney, Long
worth, Green, Hill, Moore, Mondell,
Wood and many others on the Repub-
lican side, gave the Democrats a good
many anxious moments during the
consideration of the administration
revenue measure in the House. All
of these speakers pointed out the rid
iculousness of the Democratic leaders
for their present inconsistent attitude,
quoting from former speeches made by
these Democrats, where they express
ed views directly opposite to those
they upheld during the recent debate.

cans and correspondingly humiliatine

.defenseless woman in homestead
shack near Nashua. He was arrested,
tried by a jury of twelve men, found
guilty and the Judge passed sentence
upon him to serve a term in the state
prison at Deer Lodge. To this point
the case was properly handled. Here
however the Judge exercised his sup
erior (?) judgment by parolling Hib-
ben and permitted this dangerous man
to 60 free, to return to his former
haunts and stir up more trouble. And
that is just what happened. A short
time after he was released he proceed
ed to beat up his wife. causing her
to suffer frightful bodily injury; he
then quit the state and the taxpayers
money had to be spent to apprehend
this fugative from justice. Late in
November he was located in Minneap-
oils where it was necessary to send
the sheriff of Valley County to bring
him to the state and send him to Deer
Lodge to serve his sentence.
That Judge should permit dan
gerous person of Hibbon's kind to 60
free and in this manner waste the
county funds for jurors fees, witness
es, and the large additional sum of
money required to find him ard put
him where he should have been placed
when found guilty, shows that Judge

ers further than to the extent of the
number of votes they cast at election
time.

Democrats say President Wilson has
done the best he could in the Mexican
situation. Certainly not a very strong
argument for his reelection to anoth-
er four years at the head of the gov
ernment. The American people are
deeply disappointed that he is so con-
stituted tempermentally and so lack
ing in experience that he cannot do
better. What we want in the Presi-
dency is a man who will not muddle
every diplomatic controversy in which
he engages. @
The Glasgow courier., 1916-07-28

After Trevino's soldiers, at Car
anza's orders, had shot up Captain
Boyd's men at Carrizal, Wilson sent
"a stern note" to ask Carranza what
his course was to be- And he demand
ed that the answer be transmitted by
regular diplomatic channels and not
through subordinate military officers.

The Glasgow courier., 1916-07-28

About a year after he became Pres
ident, Woodrow Wilson wrote his
check for $25 as contribution to a
charitable institution engaged in
providing relief for the unem-
played. A picture Of the check was
given to the press to show President
Wilson's generosity. But that check
is today ample evidence of the serious
ness of the unemployed problem re-
sulting from the enactment of the
Underwood tariff law.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-07-28

Democratic newspapers are teJlinr
Us that our trade balance in 1916 is
enormously greater than in 1912.
True, but why do not our Democratic
friends point to the trade balance dur
ing the period the Underwood law was
in effect prior to the outbreak of the
European war? That is the only
period with which to make fair COM
parison. Everybody knows our pres
ent trade is abnormal and due to the
war.
