speech the veteran British statesman
said that when he entered the diplomatic
service 3 years ago, like the majority he
regarded Russia as traditional enemy.
for the Crimean War had left legacy
OF mutual enmity, but that he had since
become an ardent advocate of friendship
with Russia. After alluding to the heavy
handicap of spyridden and incompe-
tent government that would neither con-
duct the war with efficiency nor organ
ize the countrys vast natural resources,
he said the revolution was spontaneous
act of people worn out by suffering
and privations, whose patience and pow
ers of endurance were exhausted. The
emperor was kept in ignorance of the
gravity of the situation, and instead Of
going at once to Petrograd and making
concessions to his people he sent troops
to repress the mutiny. BY doing so he
lost his throne
Today Russia Is tragic and pathetic
figure. During the first two years of
the war Russia spent herself in an ef-
fort that exhausted her, and she had not
the strength to endure to the end Had
she not made that stand France would
have been crushed before we could hav6
come to her assistance. Germany might
have won the war. We should, therefore,
in our triumph, tho the Russian flag
with its bloodstained laurels no longer
floated side by side with the standards
Of her allies, Russia had none the less
contributed her share to our final vic
tory.
Sir George asked if it was not our
duty to acquit the debt of honor which
we owed her? Was it not right We
should try to save her suffering people
from the remorseless tyranny under
which they were groaning? If we were
to be consistent, if we were to draw a
fine distinction between German auto
cratic militarism and bolshevst auto
cratic terrorism We could not leave Rus
sia to her fate. Lenine, like the German
emperor, aimed at world domination, and
openly avowed his intention of creating
a new Europe in which bolshevism was
to reign supreme. Before the conclusion
Of the armistice Lenine predicted that
the allies would impose such humiliating
terms on Germany that the latter would
turn bolshevist, and he expressed the
confident hope that the combined forces
of Russia and Germany would then be
able to continue the struggle against the
allies long enough to provoke revolution
ary risings in their countries. He real
ized that bolshevism. IL confined to Rus
sia, was doomed. He was, therefore,

TOWNLEY FOR l. w. w.

''The Gompers regime is out Of date. In
spite Of the Gompers opposition, labor parties
are being founded in many states. Labor in
North Dakota has wisely decided to join this
procession Of progressive labor men. The fu-
ture of the labor in the United States lies with
those who are following the plan Of one big un-
ion, to function politically as the British labor
party is doing."-The Fargo Courier-News.
The non-partisan league newspaper of Fargo
is of the opinion that the zone big union" idea
which was sprung at Winnipeg the other day
by lot of aliens and disloyal citizens is the
coming force Of the future. 1t thinks that the
Gompers regime is out of date, but the figures
given out by Mr.. Gompers at it's last meeting
in Atlantic City shows that it is growing faster
than it ever did, and now numbers over three
million men, And every time one of those
wobblies got up to talk about one big union and
the lovely way they handled government in Rus
sia, he got sat down on with overwhelming
force The conservative labor union men of the
country have always followed the leadership of
Sampel Gompers who was reelected president
Of that great organization with practically no
opposition. For many years the socialists of
the Townley school have tried to overthrow Mr..
Gompers in the American Federation of Labor,
but this year their efforts to that end were so
feeble as to be negligible. The Gompers regime
is not out of date. 1t is dated right up to the
minute, and the efforts of Mr.. Townley's news
papers to make their readers in North Dakota
believe otherwise are laughable.

POOR ADVERTISING FOR SIOUX CITY.

Sioux City, Iowa is getting good deal of un-
desirable advertising these days. Perhaps it de-
serves it. The Helena Independent thus tells the
story of what these Iowa citizens have been doing
recently. ..-...
'It may be a selfish view to take of the matter,
but we can't help feeling thankful for one thing,
Sioux City, Iowa, has become the city of refuge
for the I. wv. Having just sustained by their
votes on recall election, the mayor of the town,
who journeyed to Chicago to testify for the Wob-
blies, alterward sent to the federal penitentiary
for sedtion and sabotage, and later making
speech Of welcome to the outfit when they gath
cred in the Iowa city, a good majority of the citi
zens apparently have placed the stamp of ap-
proval on the Haywood crew.
'Therefore-altho it is tough on the four or
five thousand voters who tried to set up gov
ernment not in touch with the /. w. w. and failed
perhaps the remainder of the country will be
relieved of the presence of the Wobbly element,
which can always find refuge in Sioux City.
Moreover, it will be easier for the federal and
state peace officers to keep an eye on the bomb
throwers and Bolshevik element of the nation,
for doubtless they will collect in Sioux City, from
which point they can safely direct their cam
paign to overthrow our government.
Zone newspaperman which fought the l. w. W.
mayor hard, says the reason his opponent did
not win was because he made the issue largely
one of patriotism. The paper thinks the public
has tired Of patriotism. That to our way Of
thinking, is the most severe indictment possible
to make of the people of Sioux City. If they
have already tired of patriotism and love of
country, after terrible war which cost the lives
of many of it's citzen-soldiers, then indeed it is
easy to understand why the element which shot
the boys in the back in behalf of the Huns dur
ing the great war, is in high favor in Sioux City.
"But we doubt whether this statement is cor
rect, difficult as it is to explain why the voters
retained mayor who has made the town hang
out for the Wobblies during the war, as against
an Irshman named Carney who was to the fore
front in patriotic endeavor during the trying
days of the past two years.
1--WE are rather inclined to the opinion that
the city was packed with Wobbly sympathizers in
sufficient numbers to overcome the decent
voters. The city has been cursed with their
presence long enough to give the usually wander

A SPELL OF WEATHER.

June has been month of unexampled heat in
Montana. A dispatch from Billings few days
ago says the government thermometer there reg
istered 1O4 in the shade. That is the greatest
heat we ever remember as officially recorded in
this state. A few days ago the official govern
ment record showed 1O2 degrees in Great Falls.
That is the highest we remember in II years
observation. It continues hot and dry as rule.
Except for scattered showers in some sections
we have had no rain. The water streams of the
state are lower than they have ever been known
before at this season of the year. Some have
gone dry for the first time in the memory Of the
people who live on such streams. Optimistic
views about Montana crops cannot live in such
heat. They naturally wilt in the general dryness.
No one now talk about bumper crops, even where
they have irrigating water. Their hopes do not
soar beyond moderate crop. Thousands of dry
land farmers have given up hope Of any crop at
ALL For the third consecutive season Montana
will have poor crop year.
Yet, you would hardly think the outlook was
so blue. Business was never better in this vi
cinity. Travelling men say their orders are record
orders, the people are buying automobiles, and
dry goods faster than ever. Places Of amusement
are SeCCIHS d TccOTu pdITOHdSe EVcIyOuo occMS
to have money to spend and they are spending
it. With third poor crop in sight and labor
strikes and unemployment threatened in the
near future there is no let up in business or the
expenditure of money. 1t is rather unusual
condition and puzzles some folks considerably.
There is good deal of new building under way
also. High prices of labor and material does not
stop it. There is every sign of prosperity in this
state, and yet every one will admit that the con-
ditions are disturbed both in agricultural produc
tion and industrial production and none too prom
ising.
Possibly one reason for the general prosperity
is that there has been for some time and still
is scarcity Of labor of most every kind When
the young men went to the war the young women
took their places where they could. The young
men are back and at work again, but the young
women have not given up their jobs. They are
both working. This increases the family income
and may account for the way money continues to
be spent, and saving bank accounts continue to
increase We are learning these days that old
time theories about the production and distribu-
ton Of wealth need revision. The war stood
many of these ideas on their head.

CAN'T STAND SHERMAN.

The Missolian is a pretty strong republican
newspaper, but it can't stand Senator Sherman
Of Illinois, candidate for the republican party
nomination for president in 1920 and one of
the most malignant of the traducers of Woodrow
Wilson. It wants him repudiated by the party
Its wish will not be granted for the party needs
him badly to maintain its narrow margin of con-
troll in the United States senate. Still We agree
with the Misoulian in it's judgment that his gen.
eral bigotry and damned-foolishness is liable to
hurt the republican party The Missoulian says:
Zone can hardly imagine anything more des-
picable than the taking of religious issue to
defeat the league of nations, and if we were to
search the senate for a member with mind so
narrow and soul so shrimp-like as to be cap
able of that contemplate work. our choice
would rest upon Sherman Of Illinois.
''Some years ago movement that got con-
siderable headway and was known as the A. P.
A., originated in southern Illinois, but few miles
from Senator Sherman's home. There has not
sbeen state election in Illinois since when the
'trees and telegraph poles of that district have
not been decorated with insulting references to
the religion of one candidate or another.
Sherman is cantankerous, meddlesome, i'll
poised person, who is never so happy as when in
a viper-like attitude of splitting venom. BY in
ecting religion into the discussion of the league
of nations, he shows himself disgrace to the
dignified body in which he sits and brings
shame to state that has been represented by
such men as Stephen A. Douglas, Richard Og-
lesby, John A. Logan and John M. Palmer, and
now again, by a most worthy and promising
young man, who, we may safely predict, will re-
turn Illinois to the high place in the councils of
the nation that she held in the great days of the
past, Medill Mccormick.
"Most absurd is it to suppose that the LEAGUE
will be dominated by the Vatican or that any ef
fort will be made from that source for domina-
tion We have no doubt that Chairman Hays and
the republican senators will disavow any part in
such a campaign as Sherman has started. They
should repudiate him promptly, since he is plac-
ing dynamite under the chances of the republican
party for success in the next presidential cam
paign.
eve have just won war to make the world
safe for democracy. Democracy means, among
other things freedom for religious belief; free
dom from intolerance and bigotry. The idea of
revival of temporal power by the Vatican is a
myth and nothing could be more utterly foolish
than to suppose the United States or any other
nation entering the league of nations would fall
under the autocracy of church rule.
Sherman knows that, but he chooses to reveal
the worst side of his demagogical nature by rails
ing false issue to defeat the only definite move
ment that has ever been planned to rid the world
of war for all time. Out with him and all of his
kindv
