THE WAVE OF LAWLESSNESS

Half of the space in the metropol-
itan newspapers today is used to re-
port robberies, hold-ups, suicides and
family troubles of various kinds. In
a leading San Francisco daily the
life history of one of the most noted
recent train robbers is being run in
a sensational form tending to make a
martyr out Of the mar and idolize him
in the eyes of the youth of the land.
A recent report of a hold-up Of two
women in San Francisco says, 81 hate
to do it, lady, but l am up against it.
Give me work and | won't have to
rob. If you scream l will shoot" The
general impression left in the readers
mind after reading the story is that
it was necessary for a gentleman
highwayman to get money in this
manner.
The papers in various cities are
full of similar instances. What is
the remedy for this condition? Most
of these robberies and cases of law
breaking are due to standards of liv-
ing which have been developed be-
yond the means of the individual to
satisfy. Too many persons drew more
money during the inflated war wage
period, than they will ever be able
to earn through their ability or skill.
Preachers of discomfort have tried to
make millions believe that they are
entitled to a living from some other
mans work.
1t is this false reasoning which
must be knocked out of the minds of
thousands of criminals and would-be
criminals before the present era of
crime can be curbed.

the Importance of developing this
business in western Montana. DR.
Kahlke told the truth in The Missou-
liam, when, after returning from a
tour in the Blackfoot country, he said,
"1f the people in the United States
only knew what wonderful n
you have here, this state would be
simply over-run with pleasure-seek-
ers. From a commercial standpoint,
the attraction of tourists to this COM
munity should be encouraged for vast
of money would be expended
here for supplies"
We should neglect no opportunities
to advertise Missoula and to encour-
age every legitimate project to bring
tourists to the country about U.S.

men, the great end may be reached,
and civilization redeemed.
The prayers of all peoples should
be lifted for the success of the plan.
Every nan on earth, who has love for
his fellowman; every debt burdened
nation and tax ridden citizen and sub
ject, should pour out his very soul
in whole hearted support of the con
ference; do everything within the
limits of human effort to advance the
success of the Washington meeting.
Let US hope and pray that the con
ferees conclude a treaty, that will at
once limit and reduce the military es-
Establishments of the different nations,
and thus lay the foundation for dis
armament in the near future, upon
the accomplishment of which rests the
safety and perpetuity of civilization.

ENCOURAGING TO MINES

The lead demand seems to be pick.
ing up and the market is much more
stable according to financial papers
Sales are fair and manufacturers
stocks of both pig lead and finished
products are diminishing. Stability of
the lead market will mean much to
western mining interests.
Today lead consumption is two
thirds of pre-war normal. Unlike
copper and zinc, most lead consump-
ton is independent of steel. Conse-
quently it has not been kept small
owing to high prices that had to be
paid for steel, as has consumption of
other non-ferrous metals such as COP
per, zinc, and tin.

THE HOPE OF THE WORLD

The coming disarmament meeting
at Washington, is heralded as a star
of hope, by the tax burdened nations
of the world. 1t is not far fetched
to say, that upon such meetings
rests the fate of civilization, that can
not long survive the cost of present
day ornaments, nor the drain and
decentralization of another great war.
The high purpose of the confer
ence contaminated and all wars will
end automatically. Simply to limit
ornaments, and reduce the worlds
military establishment, will lay the
foundation for the final achievement
of the great ideal.
The proposal for the conference
was the first practical step that has
been taken to end war. 1t was Horace
Greedy, when writing of the way to
resum specie payment, said: 1.-THE
way to resume is to resume" The
way to stop war is to DESTROY the
implements Of wan and to simplify
the relations of the world; not com
plicate them.
Recent impractical world treaties
were at first supported by those who
thought the purpose was to end war.
these, when analysed We're found to
be based upon might, and the mill
tary power of a world force, that
could compel the enforcement of the
present proposal is to end war bv
stopping the fighting-by DESTROYING
Ihe implements of war.
Many Of the gravest world cues
tops will irtrude upon the Washing
ton conference. Tradition has made
national individuality dependent upon
the might of national government. and
disarmament involves reversion of ma
tional thought. By playing upon the
traditions and sentiments of differ
ent peoples, the league of notions
plan was stripped bare of any idea of
peace, for peace sake; and COM
mitted to a policy of enforced peace.
The league was rendered useless to
civilization by national ~jealousies APP
parent at the council table when it
was agreed to, and it is not certain
that the coming conference is not
doomed to the same fate. Old alli-
ances and secret treaties will have to
be sacrificed, and a spirit of tolerance
and ~forbearance, take the place of
hate and envy.
The best minds in the world will
be at the conference and if the time
is ripe, if the best in human nature can
supplant the worst, and the nations
represented feel the full spirit Of
peace on earth and good will among

TREATY SHOULD BE REVISED

Recent developments in the stu
alton of the Milk River irrigation pro-
ject, indicate that the treaty between
Canada and this country regarding
the division of the waters of Milk
river, should be amended or revised.
1t has developed that government
officials are beginning to notice that
the tract sought to be reclaimed, is
not being settled up, and are now
taking an interest in having it set
tied. This involves the total cost of
the project, and the total dependable
supply of water, which directs at
tention pointedly, to the provisions of
the treaty which former officers of
the project negotiated with Canada,
agreeing to give portions of the
water to Canadian projects, the di-
vision to be based upon the volume
of water, ascertained by measuring
the Milk river at it's MOUTH.
Just what inspired those represent.
ing the project to make such an agree
ment is a mystery, but n that now,
as the time is ripe, should be ex-
planned. The rights of Canada to
Milk river water are very limited
they are curtailed by nature. The
demands of the Milk river project for
water will increase yearly, and now
is the time when the Canadians should
be made to realize that they have no
right to any of the water of the
river, at its mouth.
The treaty document is hard to get
at-only a privileged few are per-
mitted to see it, without a trip to
Washington for the purpose. Per-
haps it has the disappearing qualifi-
cations, that other documents on
nected with the service seem to have
had, but the people should be inform
ed of its contents.
AS we are informed, the 1%nterna-
tional Boundary commission have
never visited the project, and as they
are now in session somewhere on the
st. Lawrence they should be invited
to come here. They should be pres
ent at the proposed meeting at Malta
at which project matters are to be
investigated, and get some first hand
knowledge of the tract Of land, the
affairs of which they are required to
administer.
The light of publicity must be turn
ed on the affairs of the project. The
secret records Of the order of gov
eminent engineers must be opened
to those interested. The record should
show whether the rights or the set
tiers have been bartered to Canada,
or whether justice has been done
them in the dealings of the govern
ment officials with those of our
neighbor to the north.
If rumors of the contents of the
treaty are correct, that document
should be vacated or amended at the
earliest possible date, to harmonic
with the natural rights of interested
parties to the waters of the river.

soon after his graduation from

Shreveport he met Miss Madge

Read This Correction

We wish to make a correction
in regard to the Idaho Springs
boys who died in the service.
In writing up the death of
Ralph Wilkins in last Fridays
issue, it was stated that Mr.. Will
kins was the only Idaho Springs
boy whose death occurred in the
war. We had been misinfor med i,
aud not having been here at that
time, easily made the mistake.
Soon after the paper was issued
we were Informed that five boys
who had left here for the service
never returned, and to do justice
to their memory, and to their re-
latives, we gladly make the cor
rection.
The FIVE boys were Albert John
son, Phil McConahay, and Car
Weeden, who died of disease il
camp, and Hugo Carlson ant
Ralph Wilkins, who were killed a
the front. The bodies of the frs
two are buried in Denver, Car
Weeden and Ralph Wilkins ar
buried at Idaho Springs, and tn
body of Hugo Carlson is still owe
seas, and possibly will be brough
home later.
