Helena Independent

Helena independent
There's a good deal of merit to the suggestion
made by a prominent American a few days ago
that the world powers had best suppress Mus
selini, the Italian dictator, unless they want to
have another Kaiser Wilhelm on their hands.
The way MussoIini has been acting for some
time, swollen with power as he is and possessing
an irritable disposition and an apparent desire to
fight somebody, seemingly indicates he is going
the way of the old Kaiser. Doubtless if the time
comes when the world has to spank him, he will
play the game the same way the fugitive in HOl-
land did-skip out to save his precious hide, leav-
ing his dupes to get out of the tangle into which
they are steadily slipping, as best they may.
In Italy there is no freedom, either personal or
public, at present. That seems to be conceded.
The press has been muzzled and any Italian who
dares to raise his voice against the tyranny of
the dictator, is either promptly jailed or disap-
pears from his accustomed haunts. MussOlini is
playing a dangerous game, but so far it appears
to be successful, just as the Kaiser made a success
of it for a number of years. At that, Mussolini
is more dictatorial in his methods than Wilhelm,
if that is possible.
At present he is clanking the sabre and stir
ring his supporters into a frenzy over an alleged
affrOnt to him by Germany. Germany has a
large number of citizens living in a section of
former Austrian territory which Italy now holds
by reason of a treaty following the war. MussOlini
declares that the Germans are circulating propa-
ganda against Italy, or rather against the dictator
and he demands that the Germans cease disturb
ing the Italian frontier"
A suggestion that the dispute be taken to the
League of Nations was rejected with scOrn by
| MuScOIini vUhO doubtless i'm aOinnS himself hiOCnI
than the league itself.
Considering the attitude of the dictator, one
wonders what American commissioners whC
Settled the Italian war debt, by allowing Italy
to get away with practical Reputation and thel
get a loan of millions, were thinking about. N,
wonder there is sharp criticism over the settle
ment in which it would seem the United State
has played the part of a sucker nation.

COOLIDGE SILENCE GOLDEN.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Cool
idge silence is indeed golden. So it
has proved for the consumers in the
coal strike. The facts are self-evi-
dent. Had the president fallen-and
the temptation was undoubtedly great
fer any one of the many appeals
and behests directed to him to inter
fere in the coal strike, the cOnsum-
ers of the country would now be
awaiting the beginning Of conferences
under white house auspices. A month
from now the partial and impartial
coal c%Onferees recruited from the
ranks Of the miners and operators
would be settling down to their first
formal session. Two months from
now the public printing office would
begin the preparation of Vol. 1 of the
deliberations, and the verdict would
( probably reach us in midsummer.
For weeks it has been plain to those
on the inside that the one way out OF
the mutual dilemma which faced min
ers and operators was the prospect of
4 White House conference which
would save their respective faces,
And all the time the president, in
close touch with the most intimate
details Of the situation, understood
that the mere suggestion Of such 3
course would serve to give the con
~testants a new breathing spell fol-
further delay. The final result would
have been a love feast under che
White House roof with photographer

THE MUSIC MEET

In another column of The Courier will be found
a news item about the Fifth Annual InterschOl-
.astic Music meet to be held in Kalispell April 8,
9, and 10.
The music meet has undoubted values. During
the financial stress of the last few years there
has been a tendency to eliminate music teachers
and music departments from our schools. It has
been difficult, indeed, for public school music to
keep it's head above water. In the crisis, the
state music meet has served to sustain interest
in music in high schools.
Music, like other school subjects and activities,
needs an occasional outside stimulus, and that is
afforded by the state contest. InterschOlastic
competition of any kind, if held in reasonable re-
s%traint, produces certain desirable qualities, such
as craftsmanship and school spirit. A music con-
test likewise causes pupils with talent in that
line to work harder. We now have state contests
IN all branches of athletics and in forensic and
literary activities. The devotee of music seems
as deserving of publicity, honor, and prizes as the
athlete or the orator.
It is apparent that the time has come when the
state must be districted in order that the benefits
of the music meet may be extended to a larger
number of schools and of students. AS a matter
of fact, there are two district meets this year, one
aC D1Ll4uBS anu one al GlSuulVO, 10 SdIISly u1uSNCdI
interest in the eastern section of the state. These
meets are not official, however.
Answers to a QUESTIONABLE recently sent out
by the president of the InterschOlastic Music
association indicate clearly that there must be
some districting plan for next years music meet.
The plan favored at present is to have three dis
trict contests and a final, central competition.
Perhaps a fourth district, in far eastern Montana,
would be beneficial.
Livingston has, unofficially, been promised the
next music meet in case there is but one. If the
state is districted, Livingston probably will be
given the final and central contest.
In case of districting, the duration of each dis
trict meet and of the central event must be cut
to two days, or perhaps one day. That would mean
the elimination of certain things now on the pro-
gram. Another desirable change would be to
require students competing to observe the rules
Of eligibility required of athletes. At present
eligibility rules for music contests are rather
vague.
Since it is likely that the state will be districteC
before next years main competition, certain
schools should be prepared to act as hosts to tn
district meets. Invitations to entertain thes
contests should be made, we are informed, at tn
time Of the meet at Kalispell in April.

TWO BAD GUEssEs

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The cabinet
makers and breakers, some of whom
are being manipulated unwittingly
perhaps into suTmises and declara-
tiOns as to changes in the Coolidge Of
ficial family, have made two bad
guesses lately. First, they announced
that Mr.. Mellon was to leave the
treasury and again that Mr.. Kellogg
would depart frcm the state depart
ment. It can be said now, positively
and without reservation, that both
those gentlemen have never enter
tanned such thoughts; and the Demo-
cratic hopes that disturbances might
grow out Of the possible changes, can
die abOrning. Within the week, also,
the hint being quietly passed about
that Attorney General Sargent would
leave, has also been happily flOuted.
Sargent Of the Green Mountains is
not one of the men to quit a job be-
fore it is finished, and while it is
true he has periods Of longing for
the quiet and sincerity Of Ludlow,
Vermont, he is here TO stay.

THE VANISHING ICEMAN

Within the last year electric refrigeration has
rapidly acquired a widespread Importance through
the linking up of cooperative effort between re-
frigeratiOn manufacturers and electric power COM
panies.
The great advantages of household electric re-
frigeratiOn are, its automatic and steady oper-
alton, it's ability to maintain a lower temperature
of cold with entire absence of moisture, drip
and dirt, and its better conditioning of refriger-
ated food.
Parallel with household refrigeration has de-
veIOped iceless storage of ice cream for cOnfection-
cry stores, soda fountains and restaurants. The
prospects for electric refrigeration extend even
further and include the florist and fine fruit trade
milk cooling, as well as certain processes of food
manufacture.
Considering only the household market for cleo
trio refrigeration, the possibilities for this grow
ing industry are enormous. Less than l per cent
of the market has been sold, although unit sale,
have doubled each year for the last five years
With over 100000 homes wired for electricity
the number of household electric refrigerators il
expected to soon reach the washing machin,
figure which is nearly 10000
1t is estimated that the iceIess refrigeration
units which will be manufactured this year vii
require almost 100000 pounds Of copper.

MISERS AND MONEY

The department believes that no less than

socks, holes in walls, and other clever or foolish
places, instead of being deposited in safe banks.
