CLEAR ENOUGH

The Democrats say that "We do
not oppose the acceptance of any res
ervation making clear or more spe-
cific the obligations of the United
States to the League associates" To
the American of even average intel
ligence the obligations the United
States would assume if it entered the
League without the addition of any
further language is obvious. The
The Democratic platform seeks to en-
phasize. those obligations; The Re-
publican platform would cut them
out of the covenant, at least so far as
they impair American sovereignty
We always had an idea that there
were Democrats as we'll as Republi-
cans in the gallant American army
which put a stop to the war, and we
are still of that opinion but we very
much doubt if they are now any more
willing to police Turkey than the Re-
publican boys are and it will be quite
interesting to watch the results Of
their votes.

claim to have never made more than q
very low percentage Of profit on their
products. The 60 or rs per cent in
crease in price is therefore charged
directly to those outlaw strikers who
prevented the regular transportation
of meat, and yet there are some peo-
pie who oppose the Republican plan, as
set forth in the CUMMINGS Railroad
Bill Of prohibiting strikes and provi-
ding an impartial tribunal for the re-
settlement of wage disputes. yet re-
serving to every individual his right
to quit for any reason. The only
thing the Cummins bill proposed to
prohibit vas a conspiracy to interfere
with interstate commerce. Only by a
conspiracy could interstate commerce
be interrupted. Opponents of the An
ti-strike Clause of the Cumins bill can
take some measure Of responsibility
for the recent increase in the retail
price of meat. Strikes are responsible
for more trouble and cause more dis
turbance and hardship than any good
they can ever accomplish.

FALLEN STARS

A western" Starr, one Of tho COM
mittee Of 48 who. are scheming for
the formation Of a third party, claims
that the new party will poll 15.000,-
900 votes in November, In a recent
address he repeatedly referred to Eu,
gene Debs every reference bringing
forth loud applause. A woman just out
of the penitentiary, whore she had
been serving a term Of thirteen month
for violation of the espionage law, was
on the platform with this Starr. What
an outrage it would be were both Of
the old parties compelled to learn
such a lesson before they could see
their way clear to the building of and
enforcing such masses Of the people
The epople are demanding relief. Con-
gress is at ease, but the profiteer, and
the labor agitator, the get-rich-quick
robber and the willy politician are hard
at work and the people, the t%ax-ridder
and hard working people r not al
ease. The election next November
may tell a peculiar story.

HOW ABOUT 1T?

A circular just received at this Of
flee says that among other things
"No nation engaged in the great war
has exhibited such astonishing recup-
erative powers as has Great Britain,
and an instance is shown in the a
velous growth of her export since the
armistice was signed" Quite so, but
she has not shown any disposition to
pay the interest on our loans to her,
nor has she made any very strenuous
efforts to pay any of the billions we
loaned her. She has however SAL
vaged the German Fleet which was
sunk in Scapa Flow and naturally
she must find work for this immense
addition to her marine. Great Britain
has profited by the war as no other
nation and it must be acknowledged
that she has pulled the wool over the
eyes Of every other nation which was
engaged with her in the conflict, and
when it was over she had the impu-
dence to assert that she won the vic
tory, but the world knows that were
it not for the American army money,
American sympathy and last but by
no means least, the American Army
Germany would have licked both her
and France to a frazzel. The war is
over but it was America that put an
end to it.

SESSION
WELL

The Montana state journalists held
an interesting session at Helena, Mon
tana. The attendance was large and
one of. the most successful gatherings
in the history of the state. Many
interesting speeches and papers were
presented and a strong tide in favor
of renewed emphasis on Americanism
as the only ism" to be tolerated in
the republic.
The next annual meeting will be at
Whitefish.
The following officers were elected:
7. j. Hooking, editor of the Glasgow

REORGANIZATION.

AUGMENTATION is a live topic to-
day and is the subject of much dis
cussion. In various cities chambers
of commerce have organized commit
tees to arrange meetings in plants to
inculcate a love of the flag and the
country among aliens. The republi-
can national committee has prepared
a series of films dealing with condi-
tions in the U. S. which will be dis
played in moving picture theatres in
large centers of population and it is
expected that these will perform a
useful function. Many from the 9TH
er side carry with them visions of the
old world which should be revised in
view Of the post war conditions and
the presentations of the blessings
which they enjoy under the stars and
stripes should be helpful. 1t is known
that many who returned to their Eu-
ropean homes are coming back to the
U. S. A. Living may be cheaper across
the Atlantic but the disadvantages
are many and do not compensate for
the saving. The need however Of ed
ucatiop along this line is not confined
to aliens. 1t is most needed at the
national capital and especially. in the
White House. If the man at the head
of the nation could be Americanized
the country would be benefited. There
are a number Of men in congress who
seem to have forgotten all about their
own country. Some Of the voters will
not forget the fact when election day
rolls round.

SKILLED AND MANUAL LABOR

SKILLED AND MANUAL LABOR
These are very peculiar times when
an unskilled laborer is paid a higher
wage than a skilled one, but then
these are in rare instances only, and
for short term employment and during
these restless times. The time is
coming when the skilled laborer will
again come into his own and with a
vengeance. 1t is next to impossible
to obtain apprentices for any occupa-
ton at the present time, but those
who are far seeing enough to learn a
trade now will be the ones right in
line in the neal future to dominate
the trade which they learn. 1t is al
ways necessary to have skilled work.
men in every line and it is but natural
that the older ones will in the course
of time, drop out, and as youth of
today can get such fabulous salaries
for common unskilled labor, it is also
but natural that they should not want
to burden their minds with learning
a trade. However, those who do learn
a trade now, will be those who will
rule later in life. Unskilled labor is
always obtainable but it will not al
ways receive the salary it does today.
AS the skilled artisan becomes more
rare, his work will become more rare
and high priced, his services more val
liable and he will naturally stand at
the head of the production system of
the business world. Capital needs him
morethan any other one element. With
out his valuable services, the world
would o come to a stand still and
all manne of trade would cease. On
the other hand, the unskilled labor
err is obtainable anywhere, and al.
though his services call for unreas'
onably high wages at present, a great
supply of him is arriving daily from
foreign lands and soon the country
will be flooded and then, those wht
have acquired a good trade will b'
in more demand than ever befor,
Common sense would dictate that tn,
youth learn a trade no matter wheth
err they are ever compelled to earl
their livelihood by it or not. Anyone
with sufficient strength can handl
a pick or shovel.

Missouri is credited with having
spread upon the pages Of the Congress
sional Record, a compendium OF the
present administrations waste OF
American money (our money! during
and since the war, which every loyal
true-blooded American should reao
and digest, no matter what his pollt-
ical %affiliation, color, creed or previous
condition may have been or is at the
present time. Nh. Newton's facts are
drawn from official government rec
ords and are dependable and anthem
tic. He says the record of the wal de-
partment shows that the staggering
sum of 81, 9 ,1S2,850 was spent for
artillery, and General Pershing says
that only 100 guns of rs millimeters
calibre and "a eight inch howltzers,
in all 1873 guns ever reached France
and at the cost of about nine million
dollars apiece. Enough money to
| build a battleship. Further, after
spending s1,O41,OOO,O 900 on aircraft
construction, General Prshing found
himself constrained to say IN his final
report:-"In aviation we were entirely
dependent upon our allies. 80. it was
with great difficulty that we otained
equipment for training" And then
think of this. we had $1,000 600 men un-
der arms; the ordinance department
gave orders for 100000 more hides
than could be produced in the United
| States. We had $4,000 horses and
mules in the army service and we bot
a million sets of harness and just IN
der a million saddles for them. We
| entered into a contract for $4,000
branding irons-cppper-to brand
these horses and mules, one iron for
each two animals, the contractor had
1882 pounds of copper, 10000 pounds
more than was needed. We won the
war without branding ! single horse or
mule. We paid the contractor 1914
cents a pound for the copper and then
sold it back to him for IL cents a ID.
We threw away $4,000 on the brand
ing iron transaction and we have not
! one single iron forS exhibit. We paid
| the Steinburn Camp and Field Equip
ment Company of Chicago the sum OF
s171 ,687 for fireless cookers, bread
boxes and cooks chests and we got IS
fireless cookers, rs cook chests and Z
bread boxes. We built a $2,9S7, 900
plant for Hammond, Ind, concern to
build howitzer carriages and did get
a single carriage during the war;
after the war was over we got 200 OF
them and we sold the entire plant for
junk for $500, 900. These 200 gun car,
riages cost the American Taxpayers
Just S1s, 500, 428. 88. We paid a Pitts
burg concern ~$s,,33O,O4e on a contract

WE ARE STILL AT WAR.

Many we'll meaning people are per-
haps not aware that this country and
Germany are still. in a state of war,
thanks to the league of nations squab-
BILE, which under republican admins
tration could have been settled long
ago. True, an armistice was signed
and temporary peace declared but that
holds good only so long as both par
ties behave themselves, but actual
peace with Germany has not been
declared. Being at war with another
power would virtually prohibit either
party from giving comfort, aid or sup
port to the other, yet this country,
true to its traditional kind-heartedness
has been aiding Germany in many
ways even as we said they would.
Germany, however, is not yet a pow
erty-stricken nation by any means
and were her capitalists to open their
purse strings and help those who have
made it possible for them to be capt.
alists, outside aid would not be at all
necessary. Various forms of propa-
ganda are now being circulated all
over this country asking aid for var
ious poverty stricken countries in
Europe, and sharpers are quick to
take advantage Of the. generous i'm
pulses Of the American people and un-
less one is absolutely certain that the
cause to which they are contributing
is in honest hands, they might just
as we'll throw their donations in the
sea for it is extremely doubtful wheth-
or or not the supposed beneficiaries
will ever receive any assistance thru
those channels.
The charitably inclined should first
be certain Of the actual need and
worthiness Of the cause to which they
are asked to contribute and then as.
certain the stability of the collectors
If financial aid is desired for any
country in which are many people Of
wealth, such assistance should be re-
fused and that country should be ad'
vised to compel it's really wealthy in
habitants to assist their own pool
before they ask for outside assistance
However, it is generally sharpers from
those countries who are making thes'
requests, and not those actually in au
thority, and sympathy for the wa
ridden countries is a good pretext JUS
at present. These sharpers play OF
the kindness of benevolent societies
churches and philanthropists, who ar
asked to solicit among those of lik'
disposition in their own particular ter
ritory, and were but a few dollar
collected in each Ease the sum tota
would be immense, and the sharper
would soon be lost sight Of. Thos
for whom the collections are solicit
ed would in all likelihood never see
penny of it. If you contribute to an
supposed worthy cause, be absolutel
certain that the contributions will b
handled by honest, duly authorize
parties.

that during this time the poor deluded
people were paying 20 cents per 10.
and more for sugar, and we sold the
French government 22,0O0,0 900 pounds
at 2 cents a pound with ten years to
pay the bill, thus avoiding embarrass-
ment to the sugar profiteer at home.
With these facts to digest and a
knowledge that the war was conduct
ed under a Democratic administration
it will not be difficult to make a fair
ly good guess as to how the average
thinking voter will cast his vote this
fall.

Mr.. and Mrs. Wolking Entertain
Congressman B. L. French

Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Wolking en-
tertained informally at dinner at
their home on Thursday evening in
honor of Congressman Burton L.
French, of Idaho. The affair was a
most delightful one, as Mrs. VOL
king was a former student under Mr..
French when he taught in the schools,
at her old home in Troy, Idaho, where
they are both very we'll acquainted.
The evening was pleasantly spent
reviewing the past and in discussing
present conditions.
