School Children to Canvas City to Raise Funds for
tuberculosis Prevention

Mrs. c. Z. Thompson started the
annual sale Of Christmas seals in Red

ty early this week. To raise funds
with which to fight the spread of tu-
berculosis in Montana and to affect
cures for those already suffering from
the disease the sale of the little one
cent seals will be pushed all over the
state the next few weeks. 1t is planned
to supply the schools with seals and
rely on school children to make the
house to house canvas in Red Lodge.
Mrs. Thompson was supplied with
$500 worth of the health stickers.
The Christmas seal sale is the only
means of support of the Montana
tuberculosis association. The aim of
the association is to conduct an edu-
cational campaign so that every man,
woman and child in the state shall be
so well informed on the leading facts
pertaining to the cause and proven
ton of tuberculosis, and incidentally
all other communicable diseases, that
they may nationally and intelligently
combat their progress. The funds for
this work comes from the seal sale,
and minimum of ten cents per capita
is the goal aimed at.
Over the state during the last year
376 edaths from tuberculosis were

Answering Gains Question

When Cain was accused of Abcls murder, ne
sought to sidestep by asking aggrievedly, Am
my brothers Keeper
Ever since then that same question has been
raised by all the rest Of mankind We are asking
it of ourselves right now: indeed, most of the
social and political and economic problems OF our
day arise largely because part Of us answer that
question by saying Yes and part Of Us by saying
mo"
. A magazine writer recently answered NO He
wrote an article on 1.-The Right to Live" in it he
declared that the assumption that society owes the
individual a living is erroneous. and asserted that
the only privileges man deserves are those ne can
carve cut for himself He quite bitter against
unemployment pensions and the like. and attacked
the British government for giving does to the coal
miners during the recent strike.
His article is interesting in that it voices the pro-
test of what we might call the old order; for un-
dcniably the tendency nowadays is to take the OPP
posite view
What is the outstanding bit of legislation passed
in this country during the last ten years? The
prohibition law surely. And why it passed?
For one reason, because the majority of us feel
that in a sense, We our brothers keepers; that
society, as a whole, is responsible for what may
happen to its weaker or less fortunate members.
Child labor legislation is more of the same thing.
So are the laws to protect women in industry; SO
are the movie censorship laws; the employ
ment and accident insurance laws in force in so
many states. The list can be extended by any read
er, doubtless.
That the move toward this kind Of laws is grow
ing can hardly be denied Despite protests we
seem to be growing convinced that society has a
duty toward its individual members; duty to see
to that they shall be protected even from them
selves, if need be.
Some people, like the magazine writer, in
these laws increasing limitations the freedom
Of the individual. That there is some limitation
probably is fact But there is larger significance

Uncle Sam Has a Weapon
Duluth Herald)


There is no mistaking the meaning of the news
that the government at Washington has sent word
to the government at Mexico City that when the
treaty between the two nations about smuggling
expires March % it will not be renewed.
1t means that if Mexico does not arrange a com.
mercial treaty that will take care of American in
vestments in Mexico, this country will let down the
bars against the sale of arms to Mexican insurgents
and that is all Mexico needs to have lively revolu-
ton going. perhaps several revolutions
Framed in more diplomatic language, of course,
this is the word to Mexico: "Fix it up, or we shall
open our gun shop and sell guns to whatever rebels
there may be who care to buy them and have the
price"
As that. is the last thing the Gales government
wants to see happen, this step will almost certainly
spur Mexico into doing whatever it can to settle
the cng-standing controversy caused by the conflict
between Mexicos desire to keep Mexico for Mex
leans and the interests of American capital invested
in Mexco-without which Mexico would have little
development.
Whether this will soften Mexicos feelings toward
this country is another question, and not unn1-
portant question, either
