ing too much weight to alarmist
expressions, we must nevertheless
recognize that there is a very ap-
parent tendency to a lighter and
more frivolous view Oh the citi-

for restoration of the old ideals
IN religion and in moral conduct, so

for the law shall continue. 1t is
absolutely essential to the main
tenance Of a secure society and to
the attainment of a proper moral
plane that the law should be rec
ognized as sacred and supreme. 1t
should have at its back, and en-
listed in its support, every element
of the community that realizes the
desirability of sound, secure and
stable institutions. Disregard of
one statute inevitably must breed
lack of respect for the law i'm

and ought TO give the deepest con-
Germ to people who have seen, in
this world, the fearful results that
may flow from the breakdown of
respect for the social fundamen-
tails
Whatever breeds disrespect for
the law of the land. in any partic-
ular department of our community
relations, is a force tending to the
general breakdown of the social
organization. If people who are
known as leaders. as directing in
fluences, as thoroughly respected
and respectable members of sOcie-
ty. shall in their respective com
munities become known for their
defiance of some part of the code
of law. then they need not he as
tonished if presently they find that
their example is followed by 9TH

the law in general comes to be
looked upon as a set of irksOme

Our only safety will be in inculcat-
ing an attitude of respect for the

PROOF THAT FAVORlTE WET

The docket of the federal courts of
Chicago having become glutted with
bootleg cases. a conference was held
last week for the purpose of transfer
ing at least nine -tenths of these cases
to the municipal courts of the city in
order to relieve the federal courts. The
change was made easy by the fact that
Illinois has prohibition law almost
identical in its provisions with the
Volstead act, and it was therefore
simply a question of whether the large
number of cases could be handled by
the municipal courts. In their efforts
to make it appear that prohibition is
a failure, it is not uncommon to hear
opponents of the law assert that crime
has actually increased through its op-

been no decrease in the ordinary Grim

northern man, it is doubtful about his

the south. The difficulty in finding

Montana men who are familiar with

Gibson, of the Meadow Creek Coal Co.
who is in Duluth, confirm the reported
importance of the copper ore strike in

Preparations are now being made to

Developments on the new copper

an estimated tonnage of ore which at
current operating costs should return
a net profit of 100000. This esti-
mate may be high or it may be low,
but the outstanding fact of most i'm
portance is that this ore body has in

WHY WE DECLINED INVITATION.

A4@DoNCAA - eAAAoNA ADA.l
The American government has an
swered the invitation to participate i'll
the conference in Genoa in a way that
we believe viii command the whole
hearted admiration and approval OF
the average American. The reply Of
Secretary Hughes is brief dignified
courteous, and easily understood by
the government and people-our own
and others. 1t Obeys the dictates OF
common sense and it squares with our
traditional foreign policy. 1t refutes
once more the canard that America
has outgrown the policy Of straight
Americanism in domestic and foreign
relations that is the great heritage of
all Americans from the "the Father OF
his Country"
Upon examination Of the agenda for
this conference, in the formation OF
which the United States was not con-
suited, Secretary Hughes finds it i'm
possible to escape the conclusion that
the proposed conference is not primar-
lily an economic conference, as ques-
tions appear to have been excluded |
from consideration without the salts
factory determination of which the (
chief causes Of economic disturbance
must continue to operate. but it is
rather conference of a political char
acter in which the government of the
United States could not helpfully par
ticipate."
And why cannot the United States
helpfully participate in q conference OF
a political character" of the sort called
to meet at Genoa? Secretary Hughes
supplies the reason. 1t is that this
government cannot be unmindful of the
clear conviction of the American peo-
pie, while DESTROYS. as has been abund e.
antly demonstrated, suitably to assist
in the recovery of the economic life of
Europe, that they should not unneces-
sarily become involved in European po-
itical relations"

iected in London. It's real purpose is

SENATOR BORAH AND THE DIS
ARMAMENT AGREEMENT.

As usual, the Spokesman Revie,
takes its fling at Senator Borah 10
the purpose of misrepresenting him il
connection with the Disarmament con
ference and agreement. Il matters no
what Senator Poindexter or the Spo.
kane paper says, the world knows thai
it was the Borah resolution thai
brought about the disarmament con-
ference. The people of this country
know, and so does the Spokane paper,
that Senator Borah is not opposed to
the disarmament agreement proper.
although it does not go as far in the
direction of disarmament as he would
have liked. He has stated that it's ac-
complishmenf is a long step toward
the prevention of future wars and in
relieving the people of the world of the
crushing burden of taxation for war
purposes, and has expressed conf
dence that other conferences will be
held that will make further reductions.
What Senator Borah objects to is
the negotiation of treaties by the dis
armament conference which may be
the means of involving this country in
war, the very thing the conference was
called to prevent, and which certainly
will involve us in the affairs of other
nations contrary to the fixed policy of
our government He was particularly
opposed to the ratification of the four
power treaty, which has now been rat
flied by the senate, and in doing so he
did not identify" himself with any
group of senator's; on the contrary, he
simply acted upon his own deliberate
judgment the thing that senators are
presumed to do. From his viewpoint. !
the four-power treaty involved the
same principles as the league of ma
tons; that it is an alliance that binds !
the United States in honor if not in
specific terms to join in the settlement
Of disputes of foreign nations and to
use force if deemed necessary by the
'ignatory powers. In opposing the
reaty Senator BUrah was absolutely
consistent with his attitude toward the
eague of nations, and in the humble
opinion of this paper his position was
consistent with the attitude of the peo- 5
lie of this country when they voted to S
eject the league of nations by an
overwhelming majority !

LIMITING IMMIGRATION.
Chicago Tribune.)

AOHltdSO IIlDQne.)
The house has voted to extend the 3
per cent immigration act for another
year from the present date of its ex-
piration, June 80, 1922. The decision
is important and valuable both to pres
ent and to prospective Americans.
There can be no doubt that restriction
of immigration is essential to the pros
perity and stability of this country.
That IS proved by figures accompany
ing the committees report. These fig
ures show that the total immigration
in eight months under the present bill
was 1928, as compared with 566,S43
admitted during the corresponding
months of the previous year. That is
to say, without the bill we would have
had approximately 100000 aliens, most
~ unskilled and ignorant, added to the
millions of idle persons now in this
country, and taking a living by hook or
'roOk from the workers. without the !
bill next year we would |
have 10000 or more such i'm
Migrants to burden society and lower

A TIMELY WARNING FROM PRES.
lOENT HARDING.

A few days ago President Harding
delivered little sermon before a Bible
class in Washington which the Associ-
ated Press regarded as of sufficient
importance to send broadcast through
out the land. 1t dealt with the moral
laXity and the weakening of sterner
tibers as manifested through a waning
interest in the church and disregard
for the laws 1t is in fact a timely
warning against a condition which if
not remedied threatens to break down
moral restraints and the safeguards OF
AN laws 1t is theme that should
command the thoughtful consideration
OF all citizens who are actuated by
desire to promote the welfare of our
country "Americanization" is the
name of movement that has been
taken up since the great war. the pur
pose being to familiarize foreign-b born
citizens with the constitution the laws
and the principles underlying our form
Of government 1t is a fine purpose.
but how can it accomplish much good
if the untutored foreigner sees the ma /
tive-born and other citizens who pre-
sumo to instruct him openly and de-
hberately violating the laws which he
in enjoined to obey as an essential to
good citizenship? He sees the law con-
tinually violated in every community.
Criminals are liberated through some
technical bubble. through a mistaken
public sentiment and often by the de-
'iberate action of a jury in ignoring the
law simply because they personally do
not approve of it. In the course of his
brief and admirable address President
Harding said
