binary life. 20 payment life, 80 pay
ment life, 20 year endowment, 80 year

The premium rates for these con-

The monthly premiums, due the frs,
OF each month, may be paid at any

Secretary Glass expressed the opin-
ion that the unusual values and lib

! to continue Without fail the largesl

STUDENTS TURNED AWAY.

The enrolment at the educational institutions
of the state has never been as large as it is at
the opening of the present school year. 1t is
stated that many students cannot be admitted
because Of a lack Of accommodations. This is
not creditable to the state. We have been at it
for 25 years, but Montana has hardly
made start at supplying those equipment ia
cilities that make modern university.
It is true that appropriations have been made
from time to time, but the most Of this money
has been used for current expenses. We have
never seriously taken up the task of building
university. A mistake was made in the first in
stance in scattering our schools to the four
winds. Then came long war for consolidation.
The advocates of one big institution did not pre-
vail. A league of peace was finally entered into
and chancellor was employed. Whereupon the
legislature apparently settled back in its seat
and felt that its duty to education was finished.
1t will do no harm to urge that the stingy pol
icy that has been pursued during the last quar-
ter Of century will not give Montana an equip
ment that can be used to advantage in many
years to come If we are to measure up with
the progress of some of the other western states
there will be required an investment of millions
rather than thousands. There will be little sat-
isfaction for our people in these things until we

IT'S SILLY TALK

All this senate talk in opposition to the league
of nations which has to do with the sacrifice of
the national honor, repeating the declaration of
independence, surrendering our sovereignty and
becoming the tool the catspaw and the dupe and
plaything of Europe sounds wildly silly. Of
course when the senate has blown itself out upon
oratory during the course of the next six weeks
or so, the vast majority of the senators will vote
to adopt the peace treaty and it is safe bet that
any changes made in it will relate solely to
phraseology and not to the terms of the covenant
Johnson, Borah, Reed, Poindexter, Brandegee
and two or three others will probably vote against
it, while that implacable journalist, Colonel
George Harvey, accompanies their action by
loud cheers.
Thus after all these weeks the row will have
blown over and we will be happy again in addi-
tion to possessing the feeling that we have ac-
complished something worth while But why
must we wait? Probably to give the antis time
to reconsider their plan for the organization of
new party.
