TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
Little Montana Town Of Willow Creek
Has Something of Which East
Cannot Boast.

Willow Creek is the ordinary name
Of an ordinary small town in Montana.
Bear Creek, Roundup and Sioux Pass
have more of the Western flavor, but
Willow Creek is a typical little West
ern town In spite of it's name. 1t is
so In the midst of a vast tract of clean
prairie land that it cannot be measured
by the yard-wide rule of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keep
a paternal watch over it.
Even when the early morning mists
hide the mountains and prairies, WI.
low Creek stands out spunkily-a def
mite spot on the landscape. The So
tiOn near the railroad tracks is very
small, quite square and very red. Lux
uriant groves of trees fill the spaces
between the pretty little white, frame
houses. A road that looks clean
swept shows to all comers a straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers in the
current of the little creek. that runs
behind the white houses.
AS the train from the west stops Il
few minutes at Willow Greek, Y. the
early dawn, a middle-aged man swings
off and starts down the road at a good
pace. One would know him anywhere
for a mining man.
Themetropolitan doing the traEscon-
tinental trip may smile at little Willow
Greek from his comfortable Pullman,
but there is one thing here of which
the East cannot boast-elbow room.
The great reaches Of space are some
thing unknown and bewildering to the
Eastern strap-hanger and cliff-dweller.
AS the mining man swaggers down the
road toward his great outdoors, there
is something about him which spells
domain.

Reethoven,s courane.

Ludwig Won Beethoven, the eminent
composer pianist who was born at
Bonn, Austria, in ITO. was perhaps
one Of the greatest examples of pa
'tience ever known. At the age Of
thirty he was afflicted With deafness,
yet struggled on, completing master
pieces and living exclusively in his art.
"Until Raphael be struck with blind
ness in the full freshness of his pow
ers, Beethoven is without a cOmpeer in
the history of all ages. either in misery
or IN bliss" So said his dearest
friend, who knew him during his years
Of affiictiOn and also success, the lat
ter of which came to him mostly in
Austria's capital.

Humorous Lapses.

Not every commencement speaker
has said precisely what he wished to
say to the young people before him.
One was tripped by a most unhappy
lapsus linguae at young ladies' semi
nary.
He meant to say: "But 1
have talked too long, and I do
not wish to speak to weary
benches" Instead of which he said
'beery wenches." Thereby reminding
us OF Tutor Spooner Of Oxford. who
thus addressed a meeting of farmers
'Tt is gratifying to me to behold 50
many tons Of SOIL"
But a university lecturer lately
matched these infelicities when he
said: "rm not going to talk very
long, but II yo1 get what I'm going to
say In your heads you'll Rave ths
whole thing in a nutshell"
There's many a true word spoken In
jest.

THE BUGAB0O
ABOUT ARTICLE x
CBoston Herald, June I'D

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, "it is
unthinkable that any American can
subscribe"
This article says: "The members of
the league undertake to respect and
preserve as against external agrees
sion the territorial integrity and ex-
listing 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
filled"
This means simply and sc by 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-
lists 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 made-that
is, by external aggression. When
Senator Johnson asks, "Are ye ready,
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 up
a ridiculous proposal never in the
minds of the trainers of the covenant.
Radicals and reactionaries alike have
stumbled over this plain statement
and some Of them wickedly, some of
them ignorantly, read into it what is
not there. Enormous consequences
depend upon the immediate rectify-
ing of this gross misunderstanding as
to the article which is the backbone
of the whole covenant.
Let it be remembered, military op-
position to external aggression is to
be the last agency, not the first one,
used. Each nation is now to be its
brothers keeper and should help in
the great work of forestalling and pre-
venting trouble. Economic pressure
is to be the first deterrent. A nation
that will not send its case to court.
hat begins on external aggression, will
in the first place know that not ship
viii enter its ports, not railroad car
or telegram pass its border line. If
complete boycott fails, then a small
quota of soldiers may be requisitioned
from each country, but only when our
represe entative on the council votes for.
it. We can never be compelled to
send our troops against our will.
Those sent win be volunteers, not
conscripts, and they will simply stop
aggression. They will not conquer
or continue punishment If aggression
ceases.
Let Americans refuse to be fooled
by specious arguments at this most
critical time. The question is. shall a
fraction of the ninety-six men in the
American Senate prevent world or
ganization and the beginning of the
end of external aggression and frus-
trate the worlds hope?
