the Official Bulletin. In volume
/, number I of this sheet we find
this significant statement: "You
will have been strongly impress
ed with the evidence of sincere
interest on the part of each of the
directors and their desire to see
this association so rapidly formed,
moulded into a workable body
which in the future will occupy
the position of your states pro-
tector against anarchy and Boil
shevism." Doesn't this sound ia
miliar-where can we have heard
it before? Yes, it is to be found
in the Loyalty league literature.
Well, what Of it? Suppose that
the Montana Development league does
aid in protecting the state against
anarchy and Bolshevism. Is there
anything in that work that should call
for criticism from any right minded,
honest, intelligent citizen?
The Montana Development league
includes a membership Of nearly 1900
business men, merchants, profession
al men and seeks to add to this mem
bership farmers, clerks, lawyers, doc
tors, men of all classes who are inter
ested in the development of Montana
and the establishment and mainten.
ance of conditions under which it is
possible for every fellow to get a
square deal. The league has sought
to defeat the operation of order No.
4 of the Montana trade commission
and yesterday, as a result of a legal
movement that it started, the law
creating the trade commission was
declared unconstitutional in a decision
by Federal Judge Bourquin.
That, however, was merely part of
the days work in the general program
of the Montana development league
to create a better and more prosperous
Montana.

BE A MAN!
It's a mighty good thing, wi

It's a mighty good thing, while
you're running life's race,
Just to pause, as you go, and come
face to face
With your conscience, and ask it a
question or two.
For it's right you should know what
your life means to you.
Have you done things worth while.
have you drifted along,
Have you filled it with signs, have
you filled it with song,
Have you helped when you should,
have you tried to do right.
Have you struggled for good, or just
fought for might?
Have you given your hand to some
fellow in need,
Have you ,sneered at the man who
was not of your creed,
Have you been open-hearted and ready
to do,
Have you tried to be just, have you
tried to be true?
Oh, it's easy to preach and it's easy
to tell
OF the other chaps faults-but our
w faults, ah, we'll!
We are towards at times, and the
truth, you will find,
Is a thing We dislike, for it's rather
unkind.
But the Past, let it rest. Give a
thought for Today.
And Tomorrow, as we'll, for the Times
growing gray;
Do the things that you should, do the
best that you can,
Crown your life with your deeds-be
a red-blooded man!

A DAY JOKE.

One flash of humor lightened the
general gloom at the Jackson, Day
banquet when Byron j. Cummings,
the national democratic candidate said
that the country had "paid ana was
still paying a staggering penalty for
electing a republican house and SEN
ate in November, 1918"
To charge the cost to the country
caused by the incompetence OF the
democratic secretary of war, and the
losses caused by other mismanage-
ment which We're entirely under a dem
ocratic house and senate is so con-
spicuously absurd that if Cummings
is sane he cannot be serious.
"We were short of artillery, air.
planes and tanks" reported General
Pershing at the close of the war and
the Graham committee found S5,000,-
600 was spent by the war department
for ordnance and it produced ~ guns
and 10000, 900 rounds of ammunition,
only enough for a two days battle,
and not a shell over six inches, in di-
ameter; $50,000,OO0 spent on airplanes
and not a single American fighting
plane at the front on the day the arm
istice was signed, and only 213 Amer
lean DeHaviland man-killers all told
produced; the Hog island fiasco,
clothing and cantonment scandals, all
due to a republican" congress when
the democrats held a majority in both
houses and a democratic secretary of
war was running the show, and at
that he was "The most efficient pub
lie servant the president had ever
known."-Miles City Star.

MEXICAN SITUATION.

According to press dispatches three
more American citizens have been
murdered by Mexicans, one of them
murdered by a Mexican federal army
officer. These are but three of sew
aral hundred like occurrences which
the United States has suffered at the
hands OF a savage nation little better
than the Indians of two centuries ago.
And history tells US what our fore
fathers did to the Indians.
The policy of Mexico with respect
to foreigners seems rigid, to say the
least, when compared to the rather
lenient attitude we have so far MAIN
tanned in the treatment of foreigners
within our limits. The average Amer
lean who has suffered death at the
hands of the Mexicans has been in
nocent of any propaganda directed to-
ward their system " government.
Mexico is not being plundered by
Americans. It's worst enemies are the
laWless element of its own citizenry.
The condition of chaos Mexico is now
suffering cannot be dealt with from
the inside. With the exception of
Diaz, no president Of that republic
has been able to check the various
banditti, outlaws, anarchists and what
nots who have operated there for the
past century Or more.
Over on this side of the border we
have allowed foreigners of every
tongue the advantages of our free in
situations. We have always maintain
ed a liberal attitude and have encour-
aged them to prosperity. In some re-
spects we are reaping a harvest of
thanklessness, but it is cheering to
note that the large majority of those
coming to the United States from
foreign shores have become good true
citizens.
We have a more serious situation
to deal with insofar as our radical
element is concerned than Mexico ever
had with the group of peaceable
Americans within her borders, but
we have not yet reached the stage
where the government permits its pri-
vate citizens to wantonly and promis-
cuously murder every foreigner with
Bolshevik whiskers. The world looks
on with a panied expression at the
various outrages occurring in Mexico
almost daily, but what would the world
say should the United States assume
a similar attitude?
Moralizing on the situation is all
very we'll. We are warned by the dis
ciples of the piping times of peace"
to keep out of Mexico. We are also
warned to keep away from smallpox,
scarlet fever and tuberculosis. But
when we contract n of the diseases,
we must combat it. That is the only
solution to the Mexican situation.
Mexico is a border disease. The weak
curative methods employed during the
last few years have only tended to ag-
gravate that disease. The time is
ripe for a complete cure.

At the time you entered the var

Register and Vote.

One of the important duties of
good citizenship of either the
United States or Canada is to
avail themselves of the privilege
of casting their votes at all ma
tional, state and municipal cleo
tions as provided by the laws of
their respective countries.
Many make it a point to regis
ter, when and where required,
and vote as their consciences die
tate the right policy or candidate
to vote for; but too many men
are careless or negligent of their
own welfare in this respect.
If the law requires that you
must register at the proper time
or place, or if the law requires
that your poll tax must bepaid-
or both, as the case may be-in
order TO qualify you as voter,
those are the things for you to
do. 1t is not only a privilege,
but duty which should not be
shirked by any good citizen.
Reliable information comes to
us that congressman are stating
that thousands of men in railroad
service do not go to the polls TO
register or to vote, and we are
inclined to think that there is
considerable TRUTH in such state
ments. Do you belong to this
class?
The vote of the humble, sun
burned toiler who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow
counts just as much as the man
whose income is derived from
large holdings in property, in
dustries, or clipping coupons
from bonds. The first named
class are numerous enough to
control elections-if they will
make use of their privilege and
their duty.

be sufficient. Railway Conduc-

Monkeying with a Buzzsaw.

Apparently for political effect al
agitation has been launched to lower
banking interest rates.
The Non-P -Patisan League started the
|crusade by advocating state-ownet
banks operated at cost with capita
furnished by the taxpayers. Thei,
socialfstic program has about quad
rupled tax assessments in North Da
kota but has not lowered interest.
A measure is to be put before the
people Of Oregon to amend the con.
stitution and limit legal rates of in
terest to and per cent. This mea-
sure would naturally drive every loose
dollar oft Of Oregon and prevent out
side money from coming in for a mar
who will loan money where he can gel
best interest with least risk.
Now the press dispatches show thai
a national move has been started tC
limit interest rates on call money. Tc

out that national banks earned one billion
dollars.
And right here our lawmakers bet.
ter tread easy. They have the power
to advocate as fool law as has beer
proposed in Oregon and by some hool
or crook they might pass it.. But once
passed what would happen? A mar
can still loan money wAore he pleaset
and money flows to where 1t can ge
the best interest rates just as natural
ly as water flows down hill.

Two Million Houses Wanted.

Back in 1916 the supply Of houses
Kept up with the demand. Population
was increasing at the usual rate of 13
per cent year.
During 1917 and 1918 everybody was
busy winning the war;. and the con-
|struction of houses fell off about one
third the usual figure.
January, 1919, found us with these
four million men coming back into

needed at once. Instead of having
them we are short 100000 homes
that would normally have been built
during 1917 and 1918.
Here we have an unusually large
demand and 100000 less houses than
the ordinary supply. The law of sup
ply and demand-the law that fixes
prices-has raised rents.
The only thing that can bring rents
down is this same basic law. If the
balance is to swing the other way-to
lower rates-we must build.

Elected to Congress later in life, he

He was defeated in 1854 for senator
ial nomination in Illinois,
In the Fremont convention he re-
ceived votes for vice president, but
failed to secure the nomination.
He made his famous campaign
against Douglas in 1858. and again
was defeated for the United States
senate.
This seems to be remarkable list OF
failures. They did not discourage
Lincoln. He is quoted as saying at
one time: II will study and get ready
When it did come, in 1860, he rose to
the occasion.
His failures had taught him insight
and strength of character to Withstand
buffetings that to a smaller mar
might well have seemed those of ad,
verse fate. Seen from our present
perspective 1t was not an adverse fate
at all. but the best training he could
have had.
Life is university, and one of the
courses OF study is for the purpose O:
teaching the ability, after having done
all, to stand.
1t is hard to get the right perspec-

learning from his failures, and OF
keeping on getting ready for the
chance when 1t comes, Is the right
