WILSON'S ARRANGEMENT.

The League OF Nations, supported as it should have been by
the nation where the idea of it originated, could have accomplished
rs much in stabilizing the German mark as it actually has the past
year In stabilzing the Austrian krone. Europe as a whole could
have been steadied for five or 10 years in a way with which actual
experience offers no comparison, and civilizations outlook would
have been brighter at this moment had America stayed on the Job
determined to win peace no less than war.
While these convictions are ineradicable in the minds of mil
lions of Americans, regardless of what may be said by anyone to
the contrary, Nh. Wilson in his Armistice day address did not in
dlcate just how a release may be obtained from our national en-
tangement in diplomatic deadlocks and utilities. He asked the
nation to put away self interest.
Mr.. Wilson'S striking address may have repercussions of a
far-reachlng nature. He laid the foundation for a policy radically
dH1erent IN details from the one now being followed. But it is i'm
possible at present to say whether his. spirit can again be materi-
ahzed In American politics or whether he can even make his views
dominant in his own party. The revival of his physical leadership
is unquestlonabiy far beyond the range of possibility. The utmost
'nae can o e anticipated perhaps is that he will modify in some
measure, in the direction of his own ideals, the relative position of
a parties and the program of whatever party may control the
government. There is still life enough in his withered bodv to
make n PRESIDENT and Secretary of State, or presidential candi-
oa1es' OF even United States Senators listen when his voice is
broadcast to the people. From the Springfield Republican

THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING.

Nearly three centuries ago the first Thanksgiving was pre-
claimed to Almighty God for his care and guidance during the Vi
cissitudes of those early years in a new world.
For many years it hasbeen the custom for the President O
the United States to proclaim the last Thursday in the month o.
November a national holiday. This is followed in a few days by
the procamations of the several states although at times some o.
the more egotstic of the governors have forgotten the etlquett,
of the occasion and have issued their proclamation first. The
first celebrants of this day sent hunters into the forest for game
to grace their tables. These hunters returned with wild turkeys
and from that day to this turkeys, either wild or domesticated
have been the piece de resistance of the Thanksgiving board.
The colonials spent the early part of the day in prayer and
thanksgiving and set apart a portion of the day for feastng.
Modernism has almost lost sight of the significance of the
day in the joys of the table and the prevalent Thanksgiving foot
ball game. Yet the people to whom the day has its original mean
ing may be found in every community.
1t might be well for each of us to retrace our steps and pom
der over the question whether we have not fully as much to be
thankful for as those early colonists who gave thanks to God that
he had preserved a small part of them from the ravages of hun
ger and disease and had given them a vision of a land of plenty
where they might worship God as they saw fit and pi1ory every
man whose faith differed from theirs.
Once a year every individual may be thankful for something.
The boys and girls that they have indulgent parents who will see
that they are fed and clothed and only a modcum of labor re-
CURED IN return. The young people that they have health and
good spirits and an appetite still keen for pleasure and the boun-
ties of the table. The older people that amid the harassing con-
ditions of a postwar period, when financial troubles have escaped
very few, matters are no worse; that disease and ill health have
not added their physical pain to the embarrassment of poor BUSH
ness, scanty crops or adverse market conditions.
In general the people of this community may be thankful that
their lot has fallen in the Belt Valley where crop conditions have
been much better than in many parts of the state and that instead
of going completely bankrupt as have whole communities else
where, they may look forward with hope that the years to come
may cause the clouds of financial gloom to vanish leaving them a.
competence for a restful old age. J.
The miners who have had their own troubles may thank God
that they have not had the problems of the farmers, and the bust
ness man whose hair may be a shade whittier because of the worries
of the past four years may be duly cognizant of the fact that graf
itude is due the Almighty because he has not met financial ship
wreck in these troublous times.
Let us each thank God for past favors and look ahead with
hope that the future may hold better times for Montana and the
Belt Valley in particular. =

RODEO RIDER FINDS HIS
FATHERS CLASSMATE
ON NEW YORK STREETS

A half dozen steers belonging d
Richard Ringling's rodeo show at tn.
Madison Square Garden broke out OF
the place and ran wild on Gotham's
streets requiring both the efforts OF
cowboys, bronchos and taxicab driv-
ers before they were again rounded
up and returned to the corral, accord
ing to a story in the New York Her
aid and attested to by Jim Galen, son
of Judge A. J. Galen, in a letter to
his father.
Two of the steers leaped into the
river and mixed with boats belonging
to the Columbia Yacht club before
they struck out for shore and were
finally roped.
Two of the animals after capsizing
a policeman, were roped on Broadway
and hog-tied, while the remaining
pair were chased in taxicabs and the
Montana cowboys roped them from
the running board. Before the affair
was over a considerable number of
New Workers. were chased into parks
and hotels and the cowboys had a busy
night.
About 2 o'clock in the morning Jim
Galen, night herding one of the es-
capped animals on Broadway, was ac-
,osted by a couple of policemen and a
aged, prosperous appearing
who, after discussing the in
,ident. asked Jim the state from which
he hailed. Galen told him and the
nan said:
