ANOTHER WAR.

1t seems impossible to us in America
that another war could be launched for
some time, yet reports from Europe
indicate general preparation for an
other conflict.
It is hard for us to understand this
attitude as our geography and back
ground ars different. Throughout his
tory European countries have been at
war with each other and generations
grow up with this hatred of another
country as much a part of their train
ing as their writing and arithmetic. The
countries have few natural boundaries,
so must throw up complicated and ex-
pensive defenses. We read where France
and Belgium are now completing an
amazing chain of forts along their
frontiers, rushing them to completion
before the present generation of "war

again inject into the liquor business the
motive of private profit and there
would be the inducement to sell more
and more of the stuff; that all sorts of
men would be selling it and there
would soon be violation of the law
and a result that in all practical as
poets would be a return to the old
saloon evils.
Just what the outcome of this mat
ter will be no one can tell. It is said
the Governor will veto any measure
that does not suit his program. From
present indications it is safe bet 10
say that the bootleger will not be done
away with. The liquor store idea is pat
termed after similar Canadian law and
they still have the bootlegger in Can
ada. Apparently. the bootlegger, like
the poor, we will always have with US.

A PROPHET CRYING IN THE
WILDERNESS.

The United States apparently has a
prophet crying in the wilderness of our
distress. We refer to DR.. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler. president of Columbia uni
versity.
The esteemed Doctor is the most taliS-
alive college or university president we
have He is eternally breaking into
print and is quoted much more than
any other Of his kind For years he
fought the principle of having within
the fundamental constitution of the ma
ton such a provision as the 18th
amendment and he finally witnessed
its elimination. Butler fought the 18th
amendment while contending that he
strongly supported temperance.
The latest utterance of the learned
Doctor is te-the effect thai private
profit must be subordinated to the idea
of helpful service to ones fellow men
if our civilization is to survive. That
means regeneration of the hearts OF
men and an injection into them of q
new spirit. Is it too much to hope for
Can such a Transformation of human
character be accomplished IN tirne IL
save what some believe is our crumbl-
ing civilization?
Whether or not we agree with DR.
Butler what he has to say is interesting
and provocative of thought Here are
quotations from his latest interview:

of Columbia university, declared that

RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM HAS
GREAT VALUE.

Several months ago it was quite the
vogue to decry rugged individualism
in character and set up in its place the
thought of service to the common good.
This newspaper has not concurred in
such preachment, insisting that because
America has had men of rugged char
acter is why we have grown great as
nation. No one will deny that selfish
individualism should be frowned upon
but America needs rugged character
and never more so than right now.
In his leading editorial in the jan
uary Ladies Home Journal, Loring A.
Schiller voices this same thought. He
says, in his introduction to the edi-
torial
Perhaps the greatest danger involved
in the growing assumption Of power by
the Federal Government is the possible
ity that when rugged individuality has
been eliminated the indomitable fight
ing spirit that made America may also
have been crushed to earth. So that
instead of the old do-or-die initiative
we may continue to pass the buck in
placid resignation.
Nothing could be more fatal to
morale, to progress, to reforms in social
or political life An individual or a ma
ton that is resigned to fate is on the
down grade"

LIQUOR STORE BILL is
PERPLExING.

One of the chief reasons for calling
a special session of the Montana legis-
lature was to enact legislation provid-
ing funds for setting up state liquor
stores and for modifying the law in
some respects. To accomplish this rs
proving one of the most difficult prob
lens facing the lawmakers, with poll
tics injecting itself into the matter
more or less.
The house passed a bill appropriating
100000 for setting up the liquor stores.
The senate insisted that such a sum
was altogether too large and that the
house measure proposed too high sal
aries for liquor store managers and en-
plovees and too much to be paid for
rent of quarters. The senate reduced
the amount to 100000 and the bill is
now in conference.
One argument against the $500, 900
appropriation is that if costs of con-
Quoting the state liquor stores are not
reduced the price it will be necessary
to charge for the liquor is going to be
SO high that there will still be rich
business for the bootleggers and we
will still have that evil with us. Re
ports are that under arrangements pro-
