POWER RIVER
NEEDS RAILROAD
Contained from page |

This is a false impression. A rail-
road is the backbone of the coun-
try and it is a concluded fact that
no country has ever developed
or advanced very far without hav-
ing a railroad, and unless Powder
River County has a railroad we
will go on indefinitely living as
we are. paying two to three dol
lars per hundred for freight. get
ting our mail once or twice a
week, and will be in total isnor-
ance of what is going on in the
outside world.
The cattle industry of Powder
River County is immense, and it
is estimated that fifty per cent of
these cattle, owing to the short
age of feed, have either been
shipped out to be wintered. or
have prematurely been shipped
to market. The stockmen, in
driving their cattle to the railroad
have sustained tremendous losses
and they all regret that it was
necessary to leave their home
ranch. The loss of livestock.
caused by the shortage OF feed
and the inability to get feed in.
will run we'll up to halt million
dollars. The loss annually in the
shrinkaee OF beet cattle while be-
ing driven to the distant railroad
points is no small item. Demand.
they say. is the mother OF inven-
ton, and the demand is certainly
being made upon us. \ railroad
from Miles City 10 Broadus is not
an impossibility. We could have
tons and tons OF coal for the dig
cling. and we could have a large
power plant at one of these mines
which would eleCtrlty the pro
posed road. besides furnishing
current for Broaeus and the many
other little towns which would in
evitably spring up along the line
between Broadus and Miles City.
Let's call a meeting and incor-
porate company and build this

MOUTH FIGHTERS WANT
WAR

The Helena Independent gives
in the following a splendid des-
criptlon of the ballyhoo politicians
who are so anxious for war so
long as they do not have to do
any of the fighting.
An oversees veteran who fought
in many of the big battles of the
war and who has returned home
crippled for life. writes to a New
York newspaper that if such SEN
ators as Lodge, Borah. Johnson ct
al are looking for more war, to
send them into the trenches once
and see how they like it.
fthese opponents OF the League
of Nations prefer the machine
gun and the poison gas route, let
them get a taste OF it. says the
veteran. He continues:
Now. why should the young
men who prefer the new proceed
ure be henceforth the victims of
slaughter, while the men who
sent them to it sit back in their
chairs?
Let the old men whose hearts
are too dried up and whose imae-
nations are too paralyzed to un-
derstand the beauty of the new
scheme take their share of the
old method which they advocate.
We who have seen the loathful
and eruesome business refuse to
be sent back to it by the old SEN
ators who talk and do not fight.
Let Lodge enlis, in the next
war. and PoindeNter and Knox
and Brandeeee. Give the old
fellows a gun. Let Sherman,
Norris, Johnson and Borah show
how they so over the top.
Let Fall, who wants to fight
Mexico, fight it at the head of
the other members Of congress
who want some exercise,
Those who have seen war pre-
fer TO try the other method for a
while Let the patriots who fight
with their mouths have turn at
the real thing.
This soldier has summed it up
about right. The mouth fighters
are always strong for going to
Wal and SO are the patriots who
stay at home and protiteer:: SO are
the munition manufacturers and
the cheap politicians whose
hearts are dried up and whose
lmaelnations are too paralyzed to
understand the beauty of the new
scheme, as the veteran puts it.
Nlnetynine out of every hun
dred persons who opposed the
peace treaty will always be found
to be those who never smelled
eunpoWder during the war.

CLAMORING FOR WAR

Led by the predatory interests
which yearn for an opportunity
to loot Mexico of her wonderful
natural resources, the Cottee-COol-
ers, camp followers. munitlon
manufacturers, and big industrial
trusts of this country are now
Clamorine for war with Mexico.
these elements realizing that with
our country again involved IN a
military struggle there would be
given opportunity for a contln-
uanCe of the mercenarN proilteer-
ing that has been SO largely IN
duleed in since our country joined
with France and England for the
overthrow OF Germany.
1t is to be noted. however. that
the boys who would have to do
the fighting in case we became
involved with Mexico. are very
sensibly refusing to participating
in or encourage any such a2lta-
ton. II is the old boys who know
they would be immune from mill
tary service that are so Justify
shouting for the United States to
forthwith pounce upon the the
wretched little republic lying
south of the Rio Grande.
To intervene, pacity and keep
the people OF Mexico within
bounds would require, it is esu-
mated, the services OF 45O,O0O
soldiers for period OF three years
Our engagement in operations OF
this character would require not
only the sacrifice OF many tnous-
ands OF American lives, but the
expenditure of tremendous
amount of money, and all to what
purpose? Simply that we might
make it safe tor wealthy capital
lists and corporations to enter
Mexico and exploit the halt-clvll-
lied population residing therein.
But why should the armies OF the
United States be utilized to pro-
mote the enterprises of lndlVld-
uals who 60 into alien territory
simply for eainful purposes, es,
pecially when there is such limit
less opportunity for the profitable
investment of capital in our own
country? The corporations going
from this country into the south
ern republic are very largely there
as adventures, lured by the pros
pect of making extraordinary
gains at the hands of an ignorant
and ill-infornned people, and II is
preposterous to think OF their be
ing maintained there through a
military invasion Of the country
in which they are established.
No one can object TO these Capl-
talists invading Mexico If the
authorities thereof permit O! such
action, but when they bring upon
themselves the displeasure Of that
government they should refrain
from bringing about international
complications by speedily retlr
inc from the country. The mis-
sion OF the American flag is to
protect its people in the pursuit
of orderly peace, prosperity and
happiness. not i'll trying to &c
prive some beniehted nation Of
its birthrieht through the praC-
tice of trickery and intrigue. -

it will be q circumstance to connect
the man with mystery. The other
daughter. Mrs. Florence Critchlow'
has been living alone in the Tabor
home for some time. On Saturday
last she discovered !. the remains in
the trunk buried in the basement, and
after consulting her attorney, notified
the officials. She is a talented rnaga-
zine writer, and at the present time
has the manuscript nearly completed
Of a book entitled "My Charmed
Life" She declined to answer quest
ionS at the Inquest, and is in custody
of the officers, She has made q re-
quest that the remains Of her sister
be sburied IN the family lot at Law
ton. and that she be permitted to be
present to offer prayer. This request
will be granted. The present where
abouts of the mother, Mrs. Sarah
Tabor, and the brother, Walter, are
unknown. They were last heard
from in the state of Oregon, and the
officers. are making every effort pos
sible to locate them. There are many
theories advanced as a solution to the
tragedy, but probably not until the
mother and son are located and
brought back, will the mystery be
solved There are many reports that
may later have a bearing on the
case. One for instance that the
Ineighbors heard Mrs. Tabor sobbing
and crying in an outbuilding about
five o'clock in the morning of August
1916. Attorney Glenn E. Warner is
assisting Prosecutor Horace Adams
at the inquest, and Attorneys Earl
IL. Burhans and VIM. j. Barnard are
looking after the interests of the
sister Florence. 1t has been a busy
week for the sheriff's force and
Prosecutors office, and there will be
no let up in either office until the
mystery is solved and the guilty
ones brought to the bar of justice.
