lied world in efforts to secure a
worlds peace as they are expend-
ing for military equipment very de-
sirable results would be attained.
1t should be repealed because there
is no need for any such legislation.
We believe in a properly organ
lied state militia; but we object to
the German system of making the
industrious subordinate to the mill
tary 1t is a step backward and not
forward and makes for a lower or
der of civilization and not a higher
toward which we should aim.
1t should be repealed because the
extension of military equipment will
cost much money that should be ex-
pended on education leading to a
higher degree of peace instead Of
war
The wiping of the military ideas
off our statue books will lead to a
higher and nobler conception of the
brotherhood of man. 1t will build for
mans humanity to man and not az
now, mans inhumanity to man. 1t
will bring nearer the time when
Each can feel the others woe and
with him take a part" 1t will hasten
the time when the money we are
now wasting in military equipment
will be expended in settling and I'M
proving the idle land of the nation.
1t will hasten the time when, we
will realize that good men can live
on both sides of an international
line. 1t will build up the trade and
traffic with other nations. 1t will
strengthen the home and generally
make us broader and better mental
ly, morally, intellectually and spiritu

BIGFORK MAN WANTS TO
BE COUNTY COMMISSIONER

John LauX, the democratic candi
date for county commissioner, was
in the city Friday to get acquainted
with Whitefish and it's people. Mr.
Laux has lived on ranch near Big
fork for six years and has made a
splendid success, but this was in
fact his first visit to this city. He
expressed himself as being highly
pleased with Whitefish and was sur
prised to find such an up-to-date
and progressive little city. He is
we'll spoken CT by those who know
him around Bigfork and Kalispell
and it is said that he will lead his
opponents a lively chase.

THE STATE MILITIA LAW,
(By G. w. Avery.)

Every voter in the state has been
furnished with a copy of the state
militia law passed at the last legis-
lature; and which has been appealed
to the voters at the coming election
through the medium of the refer
endum. The appeal was taken by
all classes of people throughout the
state who object to following the
military policy of the European mon
arches.
If this law is closely studied by
the people of the state it will be
repealed by large majority. Every
voter who favors world peace should
cast his vote against the measure.
1t is a military measure and makes
every man a soldier whether he will
or not.
There are many reasons why
this measure should be repealed
1t prevades the state with a mill
tary feeling and sentiment that is
conducive to war instead of peace
1t increases the cost of military
equipment. 1t deprives the citizens
of their rights and liberties. 1t
forces citizens to become soldiers
under certain conditions whether
they will or not. 1t places labor I'M
der such conditions that they will
not be able to make any protest
against any condition their employ
ers may impose on them.
We do not advocate strikes and
fully believe that in strikes which
ever side wins both sides lose but
We are decidedly in favor of labor
being in such a free condition that
they may work or cease to work
singly or in a body. They cannot do
this under this law because the ad-
jutant general may call the strikers
themselves out as militia men and
fine or imprison them if they refuse
TO act.
! We are already over burdened
with military expenses. The entire
revenue of the United States is
about one billion dollars. OF this
amount there is expended on navy,
army and pensions, four hundred
millions of dollars annually. We are
already SO burdened with military
equipment that the nation is in the
same fix as citizen would be whose
total earnings were one thousand dol
lars per annum and he was paying
out four hundred of this sum for
police protection. The more military
equipment, the more officers and
hangers-on who are constantly agita-
ting war so that they may become
famous or notorious, as you wish,
The more military equipment the
more the young and growing gener-
alton will be enthused with the ideas
Of wal, (which will lead to war in the
future. If the same energy and
money We're expended by the civil !

1t is to be regretted that the
Whitefish school children did not
take more interest in the contest
for a free trip to the state fair The
contest was first inaugurated last
spring SO that all could get an ear
ly start, and Professor Hayden in
jected as much enthusiasm as he
could before the vacation days be-
gan and it looked as if there were
going to be quite a number of en-
tries. Somehow the boys who start
ed potato gardens neglected their
work for play and let their parents
take care of the potatoes, hence
they were not in position to quail
1fy. In the fruit canning contest for
the girls, considerable interest was
also aroused on the start, but when
Ut came time for the canning season
they proved to be as neglectful as
the boys were, and all forgot about
1t except one little girl, Edith Smith,
the twelve year old daughter Of
MIR. and Mrs. Harry Smith, who en-
tered some jelly that was certainly
q credit to girl of her age. She
has the distinction of being the on
ly child to enter the contest, in
this city and it is to be regretted
that she did not win the free trip to
the fair. She no doubt would have
won if she had made more entries,
as the little girl from Kalispell who
did win out had several varieties
of fruit besides jellies.
This contest has been waged all
over the state and has been quite
successful, so the state fair associ-
alton will probably hold another next
year when it will be better known
and there will no doubt be larger
number of entries. This is a good
way to win prominence for a COM
munity, and parents should encour-
age their children as much as posi-
Ole to take part in these contests.

Dr. Eliot on Woodrow Wilson

Charles William Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, in letter ad- dressed to the New York Times, ex- plains clearly and convincingly why he prefers Woodrow Wilson to MT. Taft or even to Alumnus Roosevelt of Harvard. He considers both Taft and Roosevelt protectionists, while he is convinced Wilson will do his best to secure needed reductions in the tariff. Then, too, fundamental governmental changes are needed, and Dr. Eliot thinks better results can be expected at the hands of Governor Wilson than could be secured from the ultra-con- servatism of Mr. Taft or the wild icon oclasm of Colonel Roosevelt.
 When it is considered that Dr. Eliot chooses Wilson by disregarding just pride in Harvard, the value of his opinion will be appreciated. It Will appeal to very many Who nave ioig been supporters of republican nomi- nees.
 Dr. Eliot's reasons will appeal to thousands upon thousands of old time republicans, and the national cam paign committee should endeavor to have Dr. Eliot's letter laid before all thinking republicans. He presents the real issues of the campaign in way that will appeal to men who are not ruled by impulse or blind leader ship--to men who do their own think ing. He speaks to such men from the hill tops without passion and with all the prudence that goes with age and long experience. He speaks as a republican to independent republicans.

 Miss Aline Gordon of New York and her golden stockings are the subject oi quite some conversation at this point or the compass. The fact that the pic. ture of golden pheasant is worked or the front of each of the stockings adds somewhat to the general wonder and admiration of the beholders

MRS. GREELEy,s MISTAKE

From October Lippincott's.
 Congressman Amos Cummings tells the
 following story about an experience he
 once had with Horace Greeley:
 "One day I went out to see Greeley, at Chappaqua, about some newspaper business. The old gentleman saw me coming as he stood looking out of the window, and opened the door himself. Come in here, Amos, he said, as he led me into the parlor.
 II followed him into tae room, and. as I was going to remain only minute, I
 laid nay hat, gloves, and cane upon a center table. Greeley and had just im- mersed ourselves in talk when Mrs. Greeley swept into the room. The mo- ment she entered her eyes fell indignant iy upon my hat. gloves and cane on the table. Without word she swooped upon the outfit like fish hawk and threw them out the window. Then she left the room, without pausing for speech, as one who had taught somebody that the hall was the place for such things. was inclined to get trifie warm; but Greeley str etched out his hand in a deprecatory way, and cheered me with the remark, Never mind. Amos; she thought they were
 mine.

Disregarded Issues

Not only is the third term issue dis regarded in the present campaign, but so is the fact that the worst panic the country has ever known came in the second Roosevelt term. It was brought on in 1907, and Colonel Roosevelt's second term did not ex- pire until March 4, 1909. The Dingley tariff act of 1897 had been in full op- eration 10 years, and it contained every demand that the manufacturers could desire. It was emphatically a tariff made by manufacturers for manufacturers, and it was never sur passed in that respect until the pres ent Aldrich- -Smoot-Payne tariff was passed in 1907, after MT. Taft had become President.
 Under a tariff as protective and promotive of profits as tariff could we'll be panic was precipitated Tn 
 the Roosevelt administration, and it has taken the country five full years to recover from its frightful effects. The country lost five years of prog ress and development because Of the Roosevelt panic.
 And yet no one charges that panic to the bull moose leader, any more than they hold him responsible Tor an attempt to repeal the unwritten law against third terms.
 These omissions sin the campaign can be explained in but one way-no one expects the Chief Bull Moose to be elected President next month, and so no one lays any stress on the third term issue or on the Roosevelt panic of 1907.
