Where Power Would Be Used.

"a case in point, purely hypothetical
case, is this: Suppose there is IN the pos
session of particular power piece of
territory and some other substantial
thing in dispute. to which It is claimed
that it is not entitled. Suppose that the
matter is submitted to the executive
council for recommendations as to the
settlement of the dispute. diplomacy hav-
ing failed, and suppose that the decision
is in favor of the party which claims the
subject matter of dispute, as against the
party which has the subject matter in
dispute Then, if the party in possession
of the subject matter in dispute merely
sits still and does nothing. it has ac-
cepted the decision of the council. in the
sense that it makes no resistance; but
something must be done to see that it
surrcnders the subject matter in dispute.
In such case. the only case contem
plated. it is provided that the executive
council may then consider what steps
will be necessary to oblige the party
against whom judgment has been given

A VERY EFFECTIVE
DOCUMENT AYERS
Tiff OF COVENANT
FOrmer President at Miles City
Comments on Articles of
League.

Miles City. Feb. 14-'This appears
to be q very effective movement, tho
there arc very many things left to be
worked cut later was the comment
made hy ex-President William II. Taft
after taking glance thru the first eight
cen articles Of the covenants for the
league Of peace, which were handed to
him when he reached Miles City, by the
Associated Press.
When reading the first articles during
the fifteen minutes that his train waited
here. Mr.. Taft appeared somewhat dis
appointed in the fact that they appeared
to deal mainly with generalities, but
the sections which referred to the man
uer in which a covenant breaking nation
should be treated and those relating to
appeared to change his
view and his satisfaction was evident.
A crowd of three Thousand people who
met the ex-president' train was greatly
when they learned that his
voice had broken down and he was un-
able to speak. Short speeches on the
league of nations, however. were made
by Professor Wilson. of Harvard, DR..
Henry Van Dyke, of Washington. and
Edward A. Filene, OF Boston. The ex-
presidents face broadened into a smile
when Frank Lusk of Missoula. travel
ing with him, called for the Montana
war cry of Powder River" as he intro
duced him to the crowd

.REj0|CES OVER WAY
FARMERS ARE u|BELED

Brother Hoyt of the Portal Inter-
national rejoices in the last issue of
his newspaper over the way that the
Powers Lake Echo is soaking it to
the farmers of the county. This is
not Surprising as we do not believe
that there is a newspaper in, the
state that has been going after the
organized tillers of the sail harder
than Brother Hoyt has since the N.
p. League was organized. In his
own feeble way he has been calling
the farmers all the names he could
think Of in practically every issue,
but on account of his limited circu-
lation and the way he writes his
dope, no one has been paying any
attention to his virutent remarks.
Just why the publishers of the Pow
ers Lake and the Portal newspapers
should hate the farmers of the
county so much cannot be under
stood by the average, person. If
these two editors had their way
about it they would no doubt drive
all the farmers out of the county
tor reasons they. cannot explain
themselves: A majority of the
l04uUOAS VI NtuO l1ALuOlS OI6dulLh-
ton were here long before either
EHoyt or Gee ever thought Of COM
inglto Burke county, and the chanc-
es are that they will remain after
these editors are forgotten. The
fact that the farmers want to bene-
fit their condition by organizing is
no reason why they are Bolshivikis,
Socialists, anarchists, and other
kinds of criminals. They have
simply supported a privileged class
as far back as they can remember,
and they want to free themselves
from this burden. Calling them
names. and abusing them in every
manner possible like Brothers Gee
and Hoyt have been doing is not
going to make them put on the
yoke again and submit to the raw
ages of the privileged class.

1920 CHEVROLET
CARS ARRIVE HERE

The Bowbells Motor Sales Co.,
which firm consists of J. G. john
son and E. 0. Nehring, the fore
part of the week received a ship
ment Of two 400 five passenger
Chevrolet cars, one Baby Grand
five passenger Chevrolet car, and
one one-ton Chevrolet truck. The
truck was hardly unloaded before
our popular drayman. Aug. Ander-
son was sure it was just what he
needed in his business, and he
bought it. The other cars are now
stored at the Motor Inn, but it is
believed that it will be only a short
time before they are all sold. These
cars are all 1920 model, and are
about the classiest machines ever
shipped into Bowbells. The Chev-
rolet has always been reputed to be
one of the very best cars on the
market as far as durability and gen.
eral appearance was concerned, and
as each year passes and new models
are made it continues to keep in
the lead. The 1919 models were
far ahead of the 1918 models, and
the 1920 cars make the 1919 cars
-
new improvements on the new
models which were not to be found
on the cars two or three years old,
and we are sure that the average
person will fall in, love with these
new models at first sight and will
Immediately make arrangements to
peddle his old car, no matter what
make 1t is, and get one of these new
ones.
The Tribune editor has driven a
Chevrolet 400 car during the past
four seasons, and we have yet to see
a car that we would rather have
than one of this make. We do not
think that it has superior when it
comes to durability. We have
chased coyotes over the frozen
plowing over hills and low places
for several miles at time with our
Chevrolet car, and the only place
where the car was damaged on ac-
count of this abuse was a broken
spring once in while. The cars
are not made for this kind of work,
but we put in a kick anyway on
account of the springs, and we find
that new kind of spring is put on
the new cars which are guaranteed
not to break under any conditions.
August Anderson will use the
Chevrolet truck in his dray busi-
ness which is growing fast, and
which would necessitdte two more
teams and as many men if he didn't
buy the truck. He can now handle
his dray work more economically,
and at the same time give his many
patrons better service.

SLANDER CASE IN
! ZSCHM|DT'S COURT

An interesting SANDER case was
tried in Justice John Schmidtts IS
court here on Monday of this week
when Adolph Hovland asked for
5000 damages from his neighbor,
Howard Stearns for slandering him.
Both parties reside north of Colum-
bus. Hovland was awarded dam
ages to the extent of $25, and the
costs were assessed against Stearns.
Mr.. Hovland charged in his COM
plaint that Stearns recently while
talking with another neighbor, Tom
Hersom, made the remark that the
country was full of thieves, that
only a short time before Stearns had
caught Hovland at his granary one
night with an automobile with
lightgtnut, and, that he found about
rs bushels of. oats missing. How
land alleged that this was not true,
and as he was a new man in the
country he wanted his reputation
vindicated.
In his answer to the complaint
Stearns denied making any remarks
of this kind. and says that if he did
make such remarks then they were
true. Hovland employed Attorney
H. A. Hanson of this city to look af-
ter his interests, while Stearns en-
ployed Attorney G. H. Marshall of
Portal.
While under cross examination
by Attorney Hanson, Stearns ad-
mitted making some of the remarks
charged to him in the complaint,
and Justice Schmidt thought that
$500 would be reasonable
amount of damages to award Mr.
Hovland for the injury to his good
name caused by remarks made by
Stearns, and so decided.

BABIES SPEND NIGHT
IN STRAW PILE

Practically all the people west OF
Bowbells were out all Of Wednesday
night of this week looking for the
two Nels T. Nelson children, boy
<and a girl, twins, seven years old,
who had gotten lost, and spent the
night in straw pile without suffer
ing amy i'll effects from their exper-
ence. About an hour before dark
Mr.. Nelson told the children to go to
straw pile about mile away from
the house after some calves that
belonged to him. The children had
performed similar duty on sever
al other occasions, and Mr.. Nelson
did not worry any about them until
just before dark when they failed
to appear at the house. He then
went after the cattle himself, and
found them just where they were an
hour before. The children were not
in sight so he thought they went
home by another way. After he
got home and found that the chill
dren were still missing and it had
grown dark he started looking for
them. AS they were not to be
found where he expected to find
them he called on his neighbors to
assist him, and the balance Of the
night was spent in securing the
country and looking into every place
where the young ones might be
spending the night. Along about
six O'Clock yesterday morning the
children were finally found by one
Of the neighbors. just as they had
com1zDut of q straw pile where they
had slept during the night. AS
they came out the boy told the girl
to go in one direction to look for
the cattle, while he went in anOth-
.er. They still had the cattle on
their minds above everything else.
The neighbor approached them and
asked whose children they were,
and they told him. The straw pile
in which they had spent the night
was about three miles from their
home; and in spite of the fact that
"wednesday night was the coldest
night SO far this fall they suffered
absnlutely no I'LL effects on sac Count
oS their experie
