this interference with trade. They
have right to stop all trade with
Germany by a blockade if they can
establish one, but they have no right
to stop the trade of neutral countries
with each other, or seize and hold our
ships on mere suspicion that their
cargo have an ultimate German desti-
nation. If they cannot maintain a
legal blockade of Germany's ports
that is their misfortune, but they can
not be permitted to maintain an
illegal blockade far out at sea for the
purpose of catching American vessels
and compelling them to waste time
and money before British prize
courts.

LIQUOR LICENSES

NVER in Cumberland county, as
in all the other contiguous coun-
ties, the temperance forces are
putting up a great fight against liquor
licenses this year. Those who are
consistent opponents of the liquor
business are beginning to understand
that the courts are not legislative
bodies and that they can only enforce
the law as it is written. AS a result
many are acting upon the suggestion
of the judges that it is the part of
protestants to present the evidence at
the license hearings so that the court
may act intelligently in determining
the character of applicants and the
conduct of the licensed places.
In Cumberland county this year
remonstrances have already been
filed against a considerable number
of applicants. These remonstrances
include Wormleysburg, just across the
Susquehanna river from this city.
Lack of necessity is one of the strong
points against several of the places
and disregard of the law is a frequent
charge against the licensees.
Here in the Dauphin county courts
President Judge Kunkel, as also Judge
McCarrell. has frequently called the
attention of remonstrants to their
failure to produce evidence which
would show violation of the law and
such other facts as are necessary to
proper consideration of license petit
tions. So long as the law contem-
plates the issuance of license to sell
liquor it is the duty of the oppo-
nents of the traffic Ito aid the court in
every possible way in it's decisions

Having determined where the Donate
statuary is to be placed. we have no
doubt that City Commissioner Bowman,
cooperating with his colleagues of the
City Council, will take time by the
forelock and anticipate the coming of
Spring by placing a contract for the
necessary preliminary work in the To-
cation of the statuary at Front and
Locust streets. Inasmuch as the River
Park is much used during the summer
time. it would seem to be well to get
the materials on the ground during the
winter so that the work can be pushed
in the early Spring and not block the
park throughout the summer.

Philadelphia Inquirer. - Entirely
aside from the merits of the PROPOSE
ton, the Presidents announcement
that he has changed his mind on the
subject of tariff commission presents
an interesting study in psychology.
For a man 'sot in his ways" Mr.. Will
son changes his mind oftener than
anyone that has sat in the Presidential
chair in recent years. He started out
in his political campaign by express
ing the hope that someone might arise
TO knock William jennings Bryan
Into a cooked hat" and when he has
the opportunity of performing that
praiseworthy act he appoints him to
the chief position in his Cabinet. Be
fore election he favored exemption of
American vessels from Panama Canal
tolls. When he became President he
reversed himself. A year or two ago
he declared against national prepared
ness and now he is on the stump
advocating ii. In a similar manner
! he put himself on record against a
tariff commission and now he says
that it is just what we need to meet
the conditions of the day.
Instances might be multiplied to
show how he has said one thing to-
| day and the opposite tomorrow. His
method of handling the Mexican busi-
/ ness has made it difficult for his
warmest friends to follow his style OF
reasoning. Really, it begins to look
as if the President were not sure OF
himself on any of the great questions
that have confronted his administra-
! ton.
1t was the first Napoleon who said
| that the worst fault in the conduct of
affairs was vacillation. One of his
maxims was that indecision in the
rulers was sure to affect a govern
ment as paralysis affects the move
ments of the limbs. History has
proven the truth of this contention
Mr.. Wilson writes well and talks well
but his words are constantly reap
pearing to plague him.

field believes that we have not given
sufficient thought to. the probability
that with preparedness would go the
loss of a large measure of the liberty
OF the American people. He advises
that we look before we leap.
Admitting that this distinguished
son of an ex-President is correct in
his conclusions. will 1t not be held with
the same strength of argument that
lack of preparedness will just as GER
tainly destroy the liberty of the Amer
lean people? China is the most
significant example of the plight of a
great nation exposed to attack from
every side because 1t is not prepared
to resist the invader. This is pre-
| cisely what confronts the United
States to-day Our means of defense
and our utter lack of preparation to
repel invasion place this country in
about the same position as the Chinese
empire. Preparedness does not nee
essarily mean war; it should, and with
in the American definition of the term
does, mean peace.
There is a reasonable middle ground
between the extremist in the matter
of preparedness and the pacifist who
insists that preparation for defense is
an invitation to war. Those who are
in position to properly diagnose the
international situation are almost
unanimously of the opinion that we
of the United States must be prepared
for any eventuality. 1t is far better
for this country to contribute mil
lions for defense rather than billions
for tribute.
We must look the situation square
ly in the face. 1t is the duty of this
nation to protect its own people in
their rights which, under the funda-
mental declaration, embrace 'ifc, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"

Local Couple Are
Wed at Butte

When Frank VanDemark
iourneyed to Great Falls last
week his sole and only object
was not that of an ambassador
to the Get-Together luncheon.
Van confided the secret to a
few friends, then the secret
became an open secret. Some
say it has not been a secret
for some time, but, anyhow, to
the climax.
The day following the BAN
quet Mr.. VanDemark and Miss
Eva Salisbury went from Great
Falls to Butte and that evening,
Friday, June 2, were united in
marriage. The announcements
were received by Cut Bank
friends early in the week and
on Tuesday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. VanDemark retuned to
Cut Bank, to receive the
congratulations of many local
friends. There were dark and
brooding threats of a charivari
that evening, but Van, being a
pretty astute politician. forStall-
ed the event by investing
literally in the best brands of
Havanas to be had.
Mr.. and Mrs. VanDemark
will have the cordial good
wishes of the people here.
Frank has been here long
enough to be enrolled among
the pioneer citizens" and has
been a spirited worker for the
progress of town and COM
munity. Mrs. VanDemark
taught two very successful
terms of school here and enjoys
the esteem of all our people.
The Pioneer Press joins with
the public in expressing its
best wishes to our latest newly

Definite arrangements have been perfected
for celebrating July Fourth in Cut Bank and
the promoters assert that it will be bigger,
better and funner than any previous celebra-
tion in this section of the "Best West''
The program of amusements has not yet
been completed. There will be meeting
next Tuesday evening, at the Pioneer Press
office, when it is hoped the members of the
different committees named below will be
present and the amusement program definitely
arranged.
The business interests of the city, big and
little, have subscribed quite generously for
the ''senews'' to carry out the program and
the committees will not be handicapped for
funds. About $4,000 has already been sub
scribed.
Browning will have no celebration this year,
we understand. The baseball team of the
Agency town will play here on that day and
there will be other attractions for the people
of the Reservation. 1t is quite safe to say that
Cut Bank will entertain the largest crowd on
independence Day ever seen here. Large
bills giving an outline Of the principal events
will soon be posted Following are the COM
mittees chosen to carry out the program:

Bomboy-Larson House is
Sold to Greeley
ShultZ Co.

Messrs. Bomboy and Larson
this week disposed of their
elevator and all other effects
connected with same to the
Greely-Shultz company, with
headquarters at Fort Benton.
A representative of the firm
came here early in the week
and after inspecting the prop
erty made the owners a
tentative offer. The question
of selling the property had
never been discussed and
neither of the owners was in a
mood to 'let co." but the offer
was such an attractive one
that they finally concluded to
sell. The deal has been closed
and a manager for the new
firm is already on the ground.
Mr.. Larson, speaking with
the Pioneer Press, declared
that he had no notion of
leaving Cut Bank. He and Mr..
Bomboy made excellent returns
from their elevator investment
and both gentlemen have
abundant faith in Cut Banks
future.
The Pioneer Press learns on
the best authority that two
more grain elevators will be
erected here this year. It is
said that the sites have al
ready been chosen and that
work will begin about the
middle of July.

John P. Carroll of Helena, as
sisted by the local pastor, Rev.
Father Greven, Father Van of
Waller. Father Farrell of Kalis-
pell, Father Hanna of Conrad

fish. The ceremony was i'm
pressive and the talk delivered

large assemblage, both Catholics
and non-Catholics.
Bishop Carroll congratulated
the people of Cut Bank on the
material progress evident on all
sides, the people of the Catholic
faith for their zeal and devotion
to their church and Father
Greven for his tireless labors in
advancing the spiritual and
substantial ends of his mission.
He dwelt briefly on the spirit
of bigotry and intolerance to be
found in different communities
at times and counseled his peo-
pie to turn the other cheek"
and instead of resenting it, to
endeavor to interpret to others
the true spirit and purpose of
Mother Church.

There were fine delegations

Wednesday afternoon when
reports were read from the

Mrs. Anderson, the state presi-

of conditions throughout the

A big feature in connection
with the convention was the
grand gold medal contest held in
the evening, under the direction
of Mrs Ida F. Waterman, who
has charge of the contest work
in the county and is one of the
state organizers. The contest
was one of unusual merit. Mr..

The county commissioners
concluded a two-day session
here on Saturday evening,
after listening to number of
requests and suggestions con-
corning roads in this section.
Saturday morning the Teton
and Toole county boards went
down to the Marias river
below the Russell ranch. 1t
was decided to defer action on
this matter for the present.
Considerable improvement will
be made on what is known as
the International Boundary
road, due north Of Cut Bank,
which has been in greater need
of Improvement than any
other highway hereabouts.
There were very few kicks"
or protests of any kind reg
istered at this special session,
The road improvement work
done in this section in the past
year has been quite satisfactory
in fact those who have asked
for changes and improvements
that were within reason and
not effecting the rights of others
have had their demands ac-
ceeded to. Neighbors have
been able to compromise their
conflicting opinions and to work
toward common end; better
roadways ard shorter roadways
leading to and from town.
Commissioner Jacobson has
taken keen interest in the
work, has given much of it his
personal attention and deserves
more than a little praise for
helping to solve many intricate
problems. The road improve
ment this year seems to be pro-

While in Great Falls last
week R. L, Taft discussed with
bankers and others in the
Electric City the question of
launching a campaign to divert
the Glacier Park travel by way
of Cut Bank instead of by way
of Robare and through the
south part of the Reservation.
The trail that way is extremely
rough and there are several
deep creeks to cross. while
travel by way of Cut Bank is
over a smooth highway, the
only difficulty encountered
being the crossing of the
Marias and while the hills of
the Marias are pretty steep,
autoists find no difficulty in
negotiating them, as compared
with the rough and rocky trail
by way of Robare. 1t was de-
cided that a large signboard
should be placed at the point
where the roads diverge, stating
that the Cut Bank way was
much the better route. This
will have the effect of turning
tourists on the new Park-to-
Park trail and other points to
the south by way of Cut Bank
and it is quite needless to say
that it will mean much during
the park season and in fact all
seasons. Cut Bank should see
that this signboard is erected
and at an early date.
