Sells Farm

c. E. Anderson sold his 320
acre farm a mile east of Roy
Saturday to Mr.. G. Williers and
Son, who came here recently
from Oklahoma, for a cash
consideration of $500 per acre
and will give possession this fall.
Mr.. Anderson has at last admitt-
ed that he is growing too old to
farm after more than sixty years
continuous labor and the rearing
Of large family and he will re-
tire and takeit easy in future.
This is one of the best farms
on the mesa, well located and is
worth more money than the pur-
chase price. We congratulate
Mr.. Williers on his choice of a
location and predict tits the best
buy he ever made.
Mr., Williers is an old friend of
7. R. Pint and has been stopping
with him for a time.

the community can attain that secur-

dom Of action and liberty Of life.
This self-evldent principle is
clearly true Of international, no less
than Of national life. If within the
family Of nations there is no method
Of restraining or keeping in check
the criminal state, il every nation is
free to follow its unbridled and chau-
vnistic ambitions, no people can be
free to follow its own chosen des-
tiny and desires. Under the system
of international lawlessness which
has prevailed in the past there
has been in fact no real freedom or
national independence. Prussia com
planned that she dare not disarm be-
cause she feared the French war OF
reVanche; France was forced against
her will to adopt a burdensome sys-
tenn Of military conscription because
Of Prussia's army. Nations which
wanted peace we're compelled to
build huge navies and burden their
populations with heavy taxes in prep
aration for war. No nation was mas
ter even within its own house. The
increase in the military budget of a
neighbor state forced an increase in
the home budget, quite apart from
home desires. A Balkan quarrel in
which America on thu other side of
the world had little interest finally
resulted in forcing peace-loving
America into the sacrifice Of count
less of her men and of her money,
to gain what? No land. no treas
ure, no economic privileges To gain
freedom alone,--freedom to work
out a nations own destiny unimpeded
by the sinister designs and selfish
ambitions Of other peoples. There is
only one way in which such freedom
can be obtained. Only through some
International organization of society
to suppress and curb the unjust and
oppressive aggression Of large states

ing,-only thus can national freedom

THE BUGAB00
ABOUT ARTICLE X
(Boston Herald, June 10

ADOSbpA l1Si ehiIg OhlAS AAy
A dangerous misconception has ex-
listed from the start in the minds Of
many Americans as to what is in
volved in Article 10 Of the Covenant
of the League of Nations, to which
article Senator Johnson says, 1T is
unthinkable that any American can
subscribe"
This article says: "The members Of
the league undertake to respect and
preserve as against external aggres-
sion the territorial integrity and ex-
isting political independence Of all
members Of the league. In case OF
any such aggression or in case Of
threat Of danger of such aggression,
the council shall advise on the means
b, which this obligation shall be full
filed"
This means simply and solely that
external aggression must end. It
does not mean that boundary lines ex-
isting today or existing whenever the
aggression occurs must be maintained.
Nothing exists in the covenant which
provides for the maintenance of the
status quo. The trainers of the COW
enant had no such absurd notion that
a growing, constantly changing world
should be rigidly preserved as it ex-
isis when the treaty is signed. There
are numerous ways in which changes
can be made without aggression: by
purchase, interchange, or some kind
Of amicable agreement, especially if
preceded by removal of economic bar
riers. There is only one way by
which changes cannot be macs-thst
Is, by external aggression. When
Senator Johnson asks, Are ye ready,
Americans to pledge your sons and
your sons sons to maintain and pre-
serve for all time the present govern
ment Of the little nations we are set
ting up in Europe?" he is conjuring u2
ridiculous proposal never in the
minds of the trainers of the covenant.

These facts should be kept in mind. Mucl

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Who is Wilson?
Woodrow Wilson is the regularly elected
president Of the United States.
He is the executive head Of the country
that is to say, he is the hand by which
the body polite operates.
We have chosen him to act for us.
All the acts he performs must be rati-
fled by congress, and If he abuses his power
he may be removed from office
AT this writing we are still in state OF
war, for we have not yet declared peace
and he is commander-n-chief of our army
and navy.
He is in Europe now not for his own
pleasure or ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but as the rep
resentative Of this people.
IL is impossible, of course, to keep his
personality unmixed with his office. Any
citizen has right to object TO his person
atty. No citizen has n right TO carry that
objection so far as to cripple him in his
work as agent for the United States.
However much we may be inclined to
flatter the man, it was not the man alone
that received so tremendous an ovation
from the crowds Of Europe and whose pro-
posals have so influenced the governments
of the Old World.
