Train.--Warm praise for certain de-
gree of radicalism, yet bitter condem-
patton Of radicalism when it goes 10
ME point Of violence, marked the ad-
dress Of President Wilson as he made
his way across the wide, mountainous
regions Of Montana toward his goal.
the Pacific Coast.
1t is right for men to agitate, he de-
clared in one speech but in the other
he denounced in strong language u
group Of men, who had carried their
agitation too far. Both declarations
fitted into his arguments for the
League of Nations as an instrument,
which he contends will remove the
causes for agitation and violence The
first address was at Billings, where
nearly 10000 heard him, in their State
Auditorium. This snappy city turned
out its whole population of $4,000 to
greet him, scrubbed its asphalt nearly
white and decorated itself brilliantly.
1t was delightful place. despite its
small size, as he has visited on his
tour. 81 have been told that this
Western part of the country is partic.
ularly pervaded with what is called
radicalism," Mr.. Wilson said. He was
referring to the l. w. WIS or "WOb-

the Bolshevists, who have tried to gain
foothOld "There is only one way TO
meet radicaliSm," he went on, "and
that is to deprive it of food and wher-
ever there is anything wrong there is
abundant food for radicalism AS long
as things are wrong do not intend to
ask men to stop agitating" This
seemed to the audience and to those
close to the President rather daring
thing to say under the circumstances,
but his next sentence relieved their
minds.
Urges Orderly Methods.
"Agitate in orderly fashion, that
they will use the orderly methods OF
counsel, otherwise we will have chaos,
but as long as there Is something to
correct, l say God-speed to the men
who are trying to correct it." The
President explained how conference,
discussion, was the principal purpose
of the League Of Nations. "The
League" he said, Substitutes discus
sion for Highland without discussion
there is sure to be fight. Discussion,
conference, is the healing influence of
civilization" Mr.. Wilson was intro
duced at this meeting by Judge George
w. Frazier as "The Columbus of to-
day; the man who has discovered and
charted out new way to new
world" At Helena, the states capt.
tai, the presidential party walked
through lane formed by hundred
school girls in white, who scattered on
the station platform mountain flowers.
This was the most beautiful ceremony
Of the tour.
PoIieeman's Obligation Sacred.
When the President was introduced
at the city's largest theater by Gov.
Ben. f. Stewart, many in the audience
shouted, "We are with you" 1t was
here that he condemned radicalism,
which went too far, he said, obviously
referring to what happened in Boston
"The strike of the policemen of great
city, leaving that city at the mercy of
an army Of thugs, Is crime against
civilization. The obligation of po-
liceman is as sacred and direct as the
obligation Of soldier. He is public
servant, not a private employee, anil
the whole honor and safety Of the COM
munity is in his hands. He has no
right to prefer any private advantage
to the public safety. I hope that, thai
lesson will be burned in so that II
will never again be forgotten, because
the pride Of America Is that it can ex-
ercise self-control." Referring to the
Bolshevists Of Russia, he said: "Men
who want to cure the wrongs of the |
world by destroying governments, are
going to be destroyed themselves by
the chaos they have created" At both
in Montana the President, in
splendid bits Of oratory describing the
sufferings which the war had inflicted
upon mothers and wives and sweet
hearts who lost their lads, drew tears
to the eyes Of hundreds of men and
women, and he aroused both audiences
to warm applause when he said: "The !
world once scoffed at us for be-
Ing idealists, but 1t Is ideallsm
that now must save the world, |
and we are the only nation

failed and ruined the
world. Idealism will redeem it," The
President and Mrs. Wilson greatly en-
joyed the rugged scenery as the train
climbed the Rockies, passed over the
Divide and slid toward the Pacific.
They spent most of the afternoon and
