VALIDITY OF THE
TREATY OF IONDON


Mr.. George Carter, Editor OF The Even
ing Journal, Wilmington, Del.
Dear Sir: The latest dispatches from
Paris, II correct convey the impression
that there Is a serious disagreement
between President Wilson's Ideas con-
cerning the Treaty Of London and ltal-
ian aspirations. They also indicate the
firm determination OF the Italian people
in not renouncing ideas for which they
paid dearly in blood.
In these days Of fog and confusion
ltaly's position IS not quite appreciated
by the American people. Italy stands,
by the Treaty Of London, which guar
antees the redemption Of her Adriatic
province and the paotection OF her
frontier. Italy does not consider this
treaty simply as a scrap Of paper"
England has declared through Mr.. Bal
four in Parliament that "any treaty
bearing the signature Of the British
government is sacred TO Great Britain
No opposition 10 the Peace Of London
has risen on the part Of the French
government. As for the United States
It Is futile TO say that the fact 1t was
not a party to the compact makes her
free 60 help the cause Of the enemy
Croatians against Allied Italy. II my
information Is correct, the United
states was Informed Of the existence Of
the Treaty Of London at the time Of her
entrance into the worlds conflict, and
raised no objections 10 70. but actually
and implicitly accepted 10 by sending
American troops TO the Italian front.
International laws and relations are
based on good faith, as there Is no
other possible force 10 enact interna-
tlonal agreements. It would be a sad
League Of Nations indeed or a poor
peace indeed that would begin with an
act Of bad faith as the violation Of a
treaty. We are told England entered
the war bscause Gremany considered
Belgium's treaty as a scrap Of paper"
The United States entered the war be-
cause an act Of international bad faith
was committed by Germany In not
Keeping her submarine agreement
Therefore, 10 will not surprise any rea-
sonable man II italy stands arm and
rejects any treaty that considers q
previous one void and null.
What Is next the position Of the JugO
Slavs? The Jugo Slav state does not
exist, neither the United States, nor
Great Britain, nor France, nor Italy
have recognized the Jugo Slav State.
As things now stand we have the old
kingdom Of Serbia, which Is an ally
and a group Of populations composed
Of Slovenes, Croats, Bosnians, HerZs-
govians and Dalamtians, who are a part
Of an enemy population. In the de-
cisions Of the Peace Congress they as
well as other parts Of the Austro-Gsr-
man empire or Germany have no voice
at all. There Is no doubt that these
populations will be allowed TO form

SOUND ~AMERICANISM.

A returned soldier in Seattle says:
"The war is over and l do not care to
talk about it. l know that the boys
who served will not forget the exper-
iknce and will return to their work
NTH the determination that this ma
ton must keep alive the spirit of pa
triotism that accomplished such Won
-derful feats during the war. Those
who we're fortunate enough to be in
Italy during the dark days of the war
and saw the effect of the agitations
of irr%esponsibles who had neither
property nor family ties to restrain
them in their attempt to internation-
alize their fatherland, will not for
get the effect of that propaganda.
More men will register and more
men will vote. Government in this
country is going to be by the people
henceforth and the minority Of rad!.
Gals are going to realize that the men
who fought the battles of this war
with their lives as stakes upon the
table are going to insist upon keep
ing an rel keel"

lear who stands for the great prin-
c1ple OF u government as laid down

RESOLUTION PASSED IN
THE HOUSE JANUARY F:

Whereas, Through the courtesy OF
the Farm Bureau the members OF
this assembly had the pleasure of
seeing the very wholesome play of
"The Long Trail," and
Whereas, To many Of its members
it revived dear memories of long ago
and at the some time brought them
face to face with the problem of the
present day; therefore
Be 1t Resolved, That this assembly
extend to the Farm Bureau its ap-
probation not only Of the considera-
ton shown it's members, but of the
splendid service it has rendered the
state and nation during the war, and
Be 1t Further Resolved, That this
assembly pledges itself to cooperate
to the fullest extent in carrying for
ward the splendid work already start
ed by the bureau, and which, in the
end, should be of immense value to
all the people Of this state.

critical. One of the most pressing
needs of the west is additional cheap
power, and there is nothing that is
given so little consideration or held
down by public regulation so hard
and fast as the power utility. The
people and industries are demanding
power far and beyond the ability of
power companies to serve, and it is
not so much a question of price with
them as it is a question Of getting
the power.
Virtually every kind of business
which the power companies have been
serving is making good money and
can afford to pay, and should pay a
remunerative price for power.
What the west needs is a few util-
ity commissions with nerve enough
to allow the power utility the right to
collect sufficient rates to go ahead
and expand to meet the peoples needs.
Any body can kill industry but it takes
brains to build it up. Let u COM
missions use a little brains and CO.
operate with the utilities.

MADE A MISTAKE.

Since the election held on Novem-
Der 9Th, last, wild %unfounded and I'M
substantiated rumors and statements
have been circulated broadcast by the
little group Of paid disseminators of
class hatred doctrines, regarding al
legged misconduct OF election judges
on election day. These tales have
been bought and paid for by money
from the headquarters Of the Townley-
LeSeuer-Debs Haywood gang and a
large number of fair-minded voters
in the county have been led to be-
lieve that they were true.
Where the local dictators made a
grievious error, looking at it from
their standpoint, was when they went
so far as to allow one of their alleg-
ed election cases come into court.
The local disciple of Lenine and
Trotzky claims that he was personal
ly responsible for the mass of damn
ing evidence that has been gathered
up W forever DidSG from Iue 1dC6 Ol
the earth the corruptionists who have
been stealing the Valley county cleo
lions and for fear that he may not
be credited in full for his great work,
calls attention to the fact, that he was
the original little old "Sherlock
Holmes" in every issue of the semi
weekly hand bill. After hearing the
mass (?) of evidence introduced by
the state in the case of the state VS..
Parson, we are ready to credit the
statement that the local boss prepar-
ed the case. 1t was on a par with the
usual line of argument advanced by
him.
The little vaudeville stunt pulled
off by these paid agitators will cost
the taxpayers of Valley county sew
eral hundreds of dollars, and all to
satisfy the personal grudge of one
lone "misfit" who cannot find a place
to light.

R A LIVE BUNCH.

The Roosevelt county boosters, led
by S. G. Moore of Poplar, have had a
large banner printed which graces
the entrance to the room in which they
sleep at The Placer.
It reads "Roosevelt county," and
underneath are reproductions of the
old Roosevelt brands, used by him
when he ranged cattle and horses in
the Dakotas and Montana, the tri-
angle, the maltese cross and the elk
horn.
Roosevelt county, which takes in
the southern half of Sheridan county
and is traversed from east to west by
a transcontinental railroad, the Great
Northern, contains seven newspapers,
a half score of banks and at least four
towns that have populations Of at least
1000. 1t leaves II newspapers in the
old county.-Record- Herald.

TIME FOR A GRAND JURY.

The evidence introduced in the case
of the state VS.. D. E. Parsons which
was tried in this city Tuesday after
noon, brought out a preponderance of
evidence that the election laws of
state had been openly and %flagrantly
violated in different election precincts
owe Valley county on election day.
Unofficial sample ballots, issued from
local headquarters of the Townley in
ner circle, presided over by the edi-
tor of the Valley County News, were
distributed wholesale on election
morning to every election polling place
in the county, which is directly con-
trary to the laws Of the state of
Montana.
An investigation should, by all
means, be made by a grand jury to
lay the blame for these violations Of
the law and to determine whether or
not any one man or set OF men are
privileged to openly violate the laws
of the state in an attempt to carry an
election.
Bring on the grand jury They
will find plenty Of work to Go.

TO make extensions.
Our system of regulation, which is
supposed to be for the benefit of the
public is now coming before the bar
of public opinion. Old theories are
being swept away by the dear les
sons of experience and the public is
coming to see that any system Of reg
ulation which ultimately st%rangles in
dustry is a public detriment.
Regulations in the future must be
along nor conservative lines or the
people will be the losers.
With the present cost of labor and
Of material and of money, not only
now but for the last couple Of years,
nearly all utilities have operated at
a loss or inadequate income. Nearly
all the power companies are confront
ed with shortage of power, because
they have not been able to make the
normal expenditures for additional de-

high price of labor, money and mater
ial.

DONLON'S BOARD OF
CONTROL BILL.

The Donlon bill provides for estab,
fishing a board of control of three
members to take the place of several
existing expensive boards; it provides
that this board of control shall have
the power to examine under oath per
sons who have knowledge of the states
business. to the end that the facts
at the basis Of public expenditure may
be reliably ascertained; it provides
that propositions for the expenditure
of public money to come before a SEES
sion of the legislature shall be ex-
amined by this board of control a suf-
ficient length of time before the leg
islature meets to enable it to have
the facts on which action should be
based in is possession before action
is taken. 1t provides for a survey of
the states institutions and business
for the purpose of co-ordinating the
work of the departments, bureaus and
officers, for the sensible and scien-
tific elimination Of waste.
Twenty-eight states have alreaS'
met the demands of the electors for
the establishment of a board of con-
troll and the budget system; there is
no conflict of testimony as to the re-
suits; vast sums of public money have
everywhere been saved for use in
promoting legitimate objects. Cali

FARMERS CITY MARKET
VII, w. BE CONTINUED

A city market established last
summer in Trenton by the farm bur
eau of Mercer county, N. j., was SO
successful that the plan is to be car
ried out this We ar on a more extern
sive scale. The county agent esti-
mates last years business of the mar
ket at $500, 900 worth of farm prod
ucts sold at Wholesale and retail. I'm
til last year Trenton had no market
and for rs years farmers had back
ed their wagons up to the curb in
the center of the business section
of the city. Establishment of the
markets resulted from cooperation
between the cou nty agent, the bureau
of markets of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the city
officials of Trenton.

USE A LITTLE BRAINS.

The west is facing a power short
age. Not merely on account of lack
of water during certain periods of the
year but through lack of development
to keep pace with the rapidly expand
ing industrial system and the %increas-
ing number of uses to which electri-
city is being put in the homes and on
the farms, not to mention contem-
plated identification of railroad sys-
tens.
This is not the fault of the great
utility companies but the fault of a
public system which has slowly but
surely the past ten years squeezed

their credit has been impaired and

JU STA JOB.

Is it just a JOB that is yours to hold,
A task that offers you so much gold
Just so much work that is yours to do,
With never a greater goal in view?
What do you see at your desk or

Or the spot you fill in life's busy
room?
Merely a Pickering lamp that burns
With a sickly light as the mill wheel
turns
And the same old grind in the same
old ways
With all the tomorrows like yester-
days!
Is it just a job, Just a task to do,
So many pieces to build anew?
So many figure to add, and then
Home for awhile and back again?

NEW EPIDEMIC SAID

TO BE "PM-THRU-ENZA'
With the cessation of hostilities the
Red Cross is called upon to combat
a new epidemic, originating this time
within its own ranks. The affliction
is known as "I'm-thru-enza."
The initial symptom is a sense of
lassitude-a feeling of "what's the
use?" It's all over. Why should
work? ?" Steps are being taken to iso-
late the germ, also those who carry
it.
The epidemic is not widespread;
nevertheless an effort is being made to
stem its advance.
"Cold feet" is a marked symptom.
Another indication of the presence
of the germ is fo~rgetfulness (that the
boys are still over there).

GETS WORD AFTER FOUR YEARS

GETS WORD AFTER FOUR YEARS.
The Red Cross Home Service, as a
part of it's work Of h%elpfulness in the
community, has made arrangements
to send messages to relatives living
in enemy countries. Regular mail
service has not been open to Germany
or Austria or Russia, and it may not
be open again for several months.
With the war over, people over here
are more anxious than ever to have
some word from their loved ones in
the home land. In n of the coun-
ties of Minnesota, a workman from
Galicia, or Austrian Poland, had not
heard for four years from his wife
and three children. 1t had been i'm
possible to send them the money saw
ed from his wages. The army had
swept again and again owe the region
near his old home. Four long years,
and not a word to tell whether they
were living or dead. Some n di-
rected him to the Red Cross. The
home service information bureau
wrote for him a letter in English OF
the prescribed form, to be sent to
Switzerland, translated there into
Polish, and mailed to Poland. "How
much shall l pay?" the man asked.
Not a penny, not even a postage
stamp; the Red Cross of this country
is glad to help you" 81 would give a
thousand dollars if I could hear from
them" And no doubt he has heard
by this time, for thousands of nswer
have been coming back through the
same channel. Take this, like all
your troubles, to the Red Cross. There
is a home service information bureau
in every branch. Tell your neighbors
about it., whether they have boys in
the service or not.
