SENTIMENT VS.. REALISM.

Eleven years ago. there was more
sentiment about war than exists now.

but the flash of its swords was rather
splendid. Now there are the same
scenes, the same gailv courageous at

characters were almost impossible TO

hand. has placed its characters first.
We see the war through their eyes.
We feel ourselves changing even as
they change. growing calloused. hard,

Nation but it is handled with a real

GRIFFITH OLD FASHIONED.

The titling is not hard to under

necessary to tell your story through
innumerable and involved subtitles
which were followed by scenes illu-

riage." Lynch would then be shown
pleading for second, before another
title to the effect that Elsie Rejects

Plentywood was an outstanding event
in the lives of the prohibition ma.
rines. In their effort to get "some-
thing on" Salisbury and Erickson
they put the whole population under
surveillance. These tactics had some
amusing effects. For instance one
snoOper was engaged in looking down
the chimney of Justice Olson's house

the house was filled with smoke and

.SOLTIS SPEAKS ON
causes OF WORLD
WAR"

John Gabriel SOltis addressed an
audience OF over 300 at the Farmer
Labor Temple hast Friday evening on
the subject of the Causes and Re
suits of the late World War
1t was a brilliant speech, such as
has never been heard in PlentywOOd
before.
Mr.. Soltis gave a very lucid history
Of the Entente, the Triple Alliance
and the economic rivalries of the var
ious capitalist nations, which finally
eliminated in the World war.
He characterized the League OF
Nations as being nothing more or
less than an Insurance Company, that
guarantees to its policy holders the
right to subjugate and exploit the
weak and colonial people.
War would exist, he said, so long as
the big interests controlled the gov
ernmentS of the world. To destroy
war it was necessary to abolish cap
'italiSm as an economic system.
He pointed out how the 20 billion
dollar war debt was a cumbersome
tax on the farmers and workers,
while the Mellon tax reductions were
for the benefit of the rich.
He made an eloquent plea to the
farmers to organize themselves into
the Progressive Farmers of Montana,
to which there was a hearty response.
Senator Taylor also addressed the
meeting, dealing on political topics OF
the state and county.
The big crowd received the Senator
enthusiastically. Referring to the in
vaSiOn of Sheridan county by regl-
ment of dry dicks, the Senator de-
clared:
"There is not another county in the
state, nor in the United States, where
the liquor laws are enforced more
conscientiously than in this county
The law officers of this county per
form their duties scrupulously
There is no laxity.
But the law officers cannot break
into the peoples homes, unless they
possess a warrant. The home, under
the law, is a mans private castle. 1t
cannot be invaded without due pro
! cess of the law. This law is as old
as Anglo-Saxon civilization.
"But the cheap and petty politicians
of the State are not interested in en-
forcing the liquor laws. If they
were, there is plenty of work fol
them in Butte, Great Falls and in
Helena itself, where things are wide
open.
"They invade Sheridan county for
a political reason. They wish to de-
stroy the farmers rule of our county
hoy resort to dirty frameups, IN or
der to cast discredit upon the best
county government in the state and
nation" Senator Taylor said, amid an
outburst of great applause.

that he wants an immediate trial for

LIBRARY LETTER

Dear People of Sheridan County:
Some Of you have a bad habit
which detracts materially from the
efficiency of your library's service to
YOU: You do not bring back your
books on time. There are records on
file which show that some books due
as long ago as several months, have
not been returned This week | have
mailed fifty cards calling attention TO
the fact that books which have been
due for varying lengths of time are
still out You can see that by not
returning borrowed books promptly
you abuse the rights of other people
in the county who may be wishing to
read them.
In addition to the books which are
listed as overdue, there are many
which have apparently been lost. AS
you read these words, stop a moment
and search your memories, or better
still, your houses. Every book which
is lost has to be replaced at the eX-
pense of the loser or the county, so
that it behocves everyone to see if
he cannot bring some of these missing
volumes back. | ask the cooperation
of all in these two matters: returning
borrowed books promptly and aiding
in the search for lost ones.
Last week I invited everyone TO
make suggestions as to the choice of
new books. l have had two requests
for very good books. The invitation
is still open.
Story hour will be held Saturday
morning again at ten o'clock for chill
dren between the ages of five and
eight inclusive. Fifteen children at
tended last week. How many more
will come next time?
