me to forego
The olden paths which we'll my foot

Untrodden fields wherein the flowers are

And streams are dancing. And upon the

Then tempt the valleys where none else

Tread all the paths and seek In each ra-

All, all is weary: all so understood

rendered homeless and destitute by

Not eve a contrary weather fac

arrival of real spring days. The
week was one of provoking ]opposites.
Each hint of spring was followed by
a reminder of lingering winter Until
an April shower, ahead of its schedule,
struck the valley Friday morning.
This started the grass and the mead

dearth of sunshine, the warmth of the
rain made the weeks end encour-
aging. The spring cleaning, therefore,
is delayed and the opening of the
baseball season is set back a week.

should follow the example of the base
ball trainers and be thoroughly pre-
pared for lively work when the ar

ing to be done-there is this condition

side cleaning work is possible. The
desire to have a healthful city as We'll
as a beautiful city should supplement
his motive and insure rapid work.
There is grave danger in allowing the
rubbish of winter to lie in alleys and
back yards after the spring sun gets
busy. The city officers have already
issued their orders and it is up to
Missoula folks to get busy at the first
possible opportunity. The municipal
order should not be necessary. The
people should be anxious to clean up,
just because it is the right thing to do.

CITY cAMPAIGN-This week is tn

CITY cAMPAIGN-This week is the
final stage of the municipal cam
paign. The fight has become CEN
tered upon an issue. which is clearly
defined. The question before the vot-
ers of Missoula is whether or not they
want good, clean, economical city
government. The opponents of good
government are fighting the re-elec-
ton of Commissioner Houston. They
they annot attack it successfully.
And they would not have anything
against Houston if they could use
him. They are against him because
he has stood for the right things in
city government and because they
know he will continue to take that
stand. He has been the suuarest and
most efficient head of the police de-
partment hat Missoula has ever had:
DERBY and the department is economi-
cally managed. The policemen attend
to their business: they are not run
ming political errands for any man or
for any gang. This is just what is the
matter with the gang. Every effort is
being made to unite all elements
which are opposed to clean govern
ment for the purpose of defeating
Houston. There is no question as to
the sentiment of the great majority of
Missoula voters--it is favorable to the
candidacy of Mr.. Houston. In this
very fact lies the only possibility of his
defeat. His friends are likely to be
over-cOnfident and to think it is not
necessary to vote. Every one of them
should vote; the support of Houston
should be made So emphatic as to
leave no doubt of Missoula's senti-
ment.
