War in Montana.

So intent have the American people
been npon the progress of the war in
Europe that small thought has been
given to the fact they have a little war
of their own on their hands. This is
the war of the labor unions out in
Butte. Mont. where it has been neces-
sary to mobilize" the state militia
III order to suppress rioting. The trou-
Bile out there started some time ago.
when a faction of the miners revolted
against the eXactions OF the old or
ganiZation and formed a new one. They
dvnamited the offices of the old union
and then proceeded TO force the OPP
ers;tires TO jGin their ranks. The trou-
bic las reached such an acute point

Day Of Prayer for Peace.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


As the continuing chronicle of misery
and havoc, wrought where industry and
serenity lately prevailed, comes from the
wide arena of the war. It is not enough
for us TO give thanks to heaven that we
are no part of it, that it is not our homes
that are burned. and that our families
dwell In security and go untroubled to
their rest at evenfan None born Of a
woman into this world OF human inter
dependence can be SO callously unmind-
full of his relation to the larger social
scheme that ne dares to be Indifferent to
the pitiful dilemma OF the innocent vic

cession 70 be offered in the United States
is not for kings and armies and their
triumph, hut for the plight of .'multitudes.
multitudes in the valley of decision" The
divine and al-powerful interposition is
sought not that dynasties may be over
thrown, or that thrones and crowns may
perish. The petition rises that all this
huge energy, now concentrated on the
diabolic work Of running what it has
taken ages of travail TO produce, may
be released from the sanguinary bust
ness Of war to useful. creative and pro-
ductive industry again.

Pushing Back Germanv's Right

| Continued advance b. the allied left
| operating against the 'iarman armies
north and east of Paris is reported from
Paris and London, and leads to the con-
ciuslon that the German advance in
| France has been for the present definitely
checked. In the absence of German ex-
plantations of the situation it may be pre-
! mature to conclude that the allies have
defeated the purpose to beat France
| on her own ground. There Is stiT an
unmeasured Germanic power of assault
in the reserve forces which have not been
actively occupied upon the kaiser's right
up to this time, and, just as the French
ana English for a time followed a retlr-
ing policy until they gained numerical
supremacy, so the Germans may now
adopt the same tactics to recuperate
from their doubtless exhausting assaults
upon the stubbornly resisting allied lines
Yet, 1nasmuch as it was obviously the
purpose of the kaiser to rush through the
French lines with the utmost speed In
order to defeat the allies in the west in
season to be able to meet the Russians
IN the east, 1t is probable that he struck
with his maximum strength in France
He may yet be able by a sbrewd combi-
nation of his necessarily far-spread forces
to effect his greatly desired object of
dividing the allies in such situation as
to destroy them In detail 1t now be-
comes the primary object of the French
and British 10 prevent such combina-
ton.
Reports from the Russian campaign
continue unfavorable to the Germanic
allies. From Petrograd come continuous
announcements of Austrian defeats in
Gaiicia, while the campaign in East Prrs-
STA seems to be virtually at standstiH
Apparently both Russians and Germans
have withdrawn forces from that field to
some extent in order to reinforce the
lines in the south. In such movement
over the Germans in the somewhat
shorter lines of railroad communication
between the northern and southern toun-
diaries of Poland, the Germans being COM
PEELED to so round by way of Posen and
, Breslau. However. this advantage of
distance may be offset by the superiority
of the German railroad service. which IS
based upon the single principle of mill
tary efficiency.
The report that Russian troops have
been employed i'll the campaign in France
persists, and has the appearance of prob
ability. Evidently Russia has troops TO
spare, and they could certainly. from the
point of view of the anti-Teutonic allies,
oe employed to better advantage in France
at this stage of the camp align than in
eastern fields. If this shift of troops
from Archangel to France by way of
Scotland has been effected, it will be an
other demonstration of the great vaiue in
tbs war of Engiand's naval supremacy.

The Myth of Wall Street.

from the st. LOUIS Iiuies-
1t frequently needs the stress of mis-
fortune to place an institution in its
true light. And such has been the fate
of Wall street. For many a year Wall
streets took itself seriously. And SC
did many an outsider, generally to his
grief and cost. 1t persuaded a credu-
lous and unthinking world that the
canyon east of Trinity Church was Il
thing of national import-that the gy-
rations ,or fluctuations. you please
of its market We're the barometer OF
national commercial business. Now it
is obvious that the sudden cessation OF
any really great force in national life
must be fraught with much distress.
concern and a general dislocation of the
ma chinery of commercial affairs. But
Wall street operations have been in
total eclipse for some weeks. and, save
for brokers and those Immediately
concerned. there is general indiffer-
ence and neglect. The attitude of the
public tells only too truly the plain
story of how great a proportion of Wall
street operations have been mere sound
and fury, mere speculation with but
little useful purpose.

Bull Moosery and 1916.

N his Louisiana meetings Mr.. Roose-
volt was hailed as "our next presi-
dent" 1t was, of course. an election

low him as the man who was coming

Mr.. Roosevelt wants to be 'our next
President" His hat is in the ring,
where he cast II in the early months
of 1912 Every move he Is making now
in Louisiana and elsewhere is with the
view of strengthening his candidacy
for 1916. He need make no special an
nouncement. Everybody understands
the situation.
But the mention of John Nj. Parker
for Vice President was far from feiic-
itous. Intended only for local effect, 1t
is likely to fail even there. Elsewhere
it will provoke but a smile Mr.. Parker
is not lin it," and could not be lifted In
with a derrick. A competent man, and
sincere in his advocacy of the Roose-
Welt policies, he would yet bring moth

Roosevelt two years hence must have

What pull has Mr.. Parker? He
could not carry his own state. Could
he carry any southern state In the
east, in the middle states and In the
est he is unknown. He would have

have to stand sponsor for him IN those
sections.
Mr.. Roosevelt's running mate for 1915
is not now indicated. But nothing is
more Improbable than that he will be
a southern man. The south will not
be good hunting ground for either
the bull moosers or the republicans
then. Wilson and Marshall, carrying
the banner of democracy. should have
no trouble in repeating the triumph
in that quarter of two years ago. Here
and there in the south is disapproval
of some features of the administra-
tons course, but the democratic or
sanization in every southern state is
in complete control, and that means
democratic victory.
A northwestern or a middle state
man would best suit bull moose pur-
poses. Next to Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Bev-
eridge is the strongest card they have,
and he Is their candidate this year
for senator in Indiana. But suppose
he loses, as he is likely to do And
suppose the bull moose vote in the
state is light. as it is certain to be in
many other states; what will his
strength be then as a national bull
moose quantity?
Not until after the November cleo
tons will it be of value to speculate
about bull moosery and 1916. If the
Roosevelt vote is small everywhere
including New York, the leader of the
new party will have to recast his plans,
and maybe his platform.

Much is being said about markets

them, thus driving more pegs to keep
our big tent up. But let us not mean
while forget what a whale of a home
market we have. Adding all we bought
from abroad to all we sold abroad last
