WHAT, do you suppose has come over the spirit
w of the dreams of our n%eighbors over in Mon

Nv of their state, wipe from the statute BOOKS OF
their commonwealth some seyentyttVe sections OF
law relating to prohibition and its enforcement,
and leave the whole question blank locally and pass
the burden on to the federal government ms
is the serious effort of a very considerable NUMBER
of members of the legislature of that great state:
These are willing to admit failure on the part OF
their state government to enforce its laws, Wiling
to abandon constitutional rights fought for and
nv men of harder fibre and placed IN the or
panic law of that proud state by other men VINO
believed in the rights of the people to administer
their domestic affairs.
Is the world to understand that popular govern
ment is a failure in the State of Montana, that
her people are willing to accept such insult to tmelr
intelligence. That her men and women no longer
have the spirit to stand up and say what shall
and what shall not be the order of things in their
state, That sacred rights, expressly reserved by
them in erecting their commonwealth, are TO De
returned to the federal government as OF no value
to them. Especially at a time when the federal
mower is taxed to the utmost to enforce lts au-
fhoritv against an evil Montana seems willing to
have run riot within her borders.
The action, or threatened action of the Montana
legislators, in seeking the limo of least resistance,
If not cownrdice, in a matter of high constitutional
privilege, and affecting vitality, as it does the vel
fare of her people, is viewed not only with sur

covenant should have submitted its case to the
league. 1t did not do so. 1t opened h~ostilities in
violation Of the covenant of the League of Nations.
1t was then the duty of other members of the
league under Article Y of the covenant to bring
the matter formally to the attention of the league,
and for the league to take action in order to safe
guard the peace of nations. The league, however,
took no action in the matter, with the result that
after a brief season of victories by the Greek
armies, the Turks became ascendant and precipi.
tated all of the trouble which is now in the Near
East.
Still more recently the Lithuanians have violated
the terms of the Treaty of Versailles by taking
Mcneil.
This has all occurred in the last three years.
1t proves beyond n doubt the impotency of the
League of Nations. Taking into consideration the
wellknown facts that in many of these wars the
larger powers of the League of Nations were
really the instigators and stood behind the smaller
combatants, furnishing them with funds, munitions
and military equipment, it proves the hypocrisy and
insincerity of the League of Nations.

WIN Bother Further?

nEOPLE who take time to worry and seem hap
j piest when thus engaged are fearing the utter
collapse of European civilization. Why emotion
should be expended upon a matter like that is
strange, when there is opportunity to do some wor-
rylng with reference to the stability of civilization
nearer home.
II European civilization is bound and determined
to go blooey, as all indications point, why worry?
Are we not having the time of our life to keep our
own civilization right side up and moving forward?
These Europeans always did have the DEVILS
own time with their civilization. 1t has never
been anything but a nuisance to them from the
start. 1t has always been going to the dogs. They
never knew How to treat a civilization and don't
deserve to have a decent one
You only have to open up the handbook OF chron-
icles and cast a cursory glance over its pages to
learn how shamefully they have maitreated so de.
sirable an institution. Right from the jump they
mishandled, manhandled and panhandled it until it
bears no resemblance to responsibility and has no
more backbone than an angleworm-
After bringing millions of their folks over to
this side and doing our best to inject a little civil
ization into them, and then journeying back across
the ocean to save what they had left, their decrepit
old civilization is not yet able to stand alone. The
very moment we withdraw the final remnant of
support, the old thing Dogs down. Then the howl
goes up from the emotional highbrows and interna.
tional worriers that we ought to do more saving,
that we did not do a good job in previous efforts.
Over on this side there are a lot of hard headed
people who are not given much to cheap jobs of
worrying, who are of the opinion, that if the Euro
pean people want their civilization saved, they
had better get busy and save it; and since they
have shown little or no inclination to salvage it,
they possibly don't want it rescued or consider it
not worth the saving. II they have no great inter.
est in it,, at least, more than they have shown to
date, we fail to see any good reason why we should
muss with the old hulk. They had far better let
the old one go by the board and start a new one
if they can.
So far as we are concerned, with European civil.
ization in its present dilapidated condition., we are
strong for the purest and simplest isolation. Let's
bolster up our own and try and keep it from slip.
uing. In this We will find task enough to occupy
all our energy and all our surplus worry.

a harmless and rather pretty and SEN
timental picture called September
Morn
1t represented a pleasant looking
maid wading into a lake to AXE a
bath. She had nothing on but looked
very modest about 1t and seemed INK
ious to avoid observation. The official
censors of such matters objected to
the picture because the maid lacked
a bathing suit. Somebody was arrest

most famous Of pictures.
The judicial decision was that the
picture was perfectly inocuous. and
thereafter the country was flooded
with colored reproductions Of it.
