q Lord open thou mine eyes

things visible unto the fluid, eternal
things invisible.
All about me are the barriers that cut

mine eyes to have X-ray power to pierce

Let me see beyond the quick satisfac-

Let me see beyond appetite to the
pleasure Of self-control.
Let me see beyond greed to the luxury
of giving, past gold to the treasures of
contentment.
Widen by horizon Give me lsrgeness
Of heart
Let me not love the one woman less,
but through her the welfare of all wo-
men.
All around and about my own chill

where: may my vision reach them, that
may strive to live for them also.
Let me see past revenge unto the
strength and wisdom of forgiveness.
Let me see past binding pride sun

Let me see past profit to usefulness.
Past success TO self-approval
Past passion to poise
Past the heat of desire to the light Of

The Ford Ship, a Changed
American Press and
Some Misdirected Sneers

Some years ago, before 1892. it was
! the generally accepted opinion that the
earth was fiat.
Most positive in this belief were those
\ who had studied the matter least and
who had given the matter the least
thought.
Then along came a young man by the
name of Christopher Columbus TO ex-
press the conviction that the earth was
round and that over the seas there was
more land to be found.
The king of Spain refused to take him
seriously.
He was denounced by philosophers.
He was publicly laughed to scorn and
declared to be lunatic.
But the queen of Spain listened to
him, became convinced that his theory
was sound and pawned her jewels to
finance the expedition that was sue
cessful, resulting in the finding of land
upon which there was later established
freedom for all mankind.
Has)fhe- press of our country forgot
ten about Christopher Columbus and the
doubters of his day
The fippant manner in which some
of the big newspapers are treating the
peace ship theory of Henry Ford would
indicate that these newspapers, at least,
hG,xo for,0++a,, Il;
st These newspapers fail lamentably to
catch the spirit and inspiration of the
Henry Ford expedition when they dis
cuss the PROBABILITY of its failure
There may be nothing like the prob
ability of its success, but there IS the
POSSIBILITY of it.
No one appreciates more than Henry
Ford himself the size of this under
taking and the odds against him.
but his faith is great and he should have
the praise and encouragement Of his
countrymen and, by all means, his towns
men, and every newspaper in the coun-
try should be found in sympathy with
his sincere purposes.
The adverse criticism his plan has re-
ceiySa from the big newspapers. sup
pliesth convincing proof that it is the
idea of an individual, prompted by great
human instincts, rather than that Of one
of these newspapers seeking to boost its
circulation.
The Detroit times., 1915-12-02

The tone of the country's leading
newspapers in their discussion Of the
Ford peace ship is Understandable only
in case the individual is willing to enter
tain an ugly conclusion.
The tone of these newspapers has
changed and suggests very strongly the
fact that we are loading shells over here
for hundreds of millions of dollars in
pay, with which to keep up the killing.
And Chancellor Day, that great friend
of the interests and echo Of the stock
ticker, is found in line. crying from out
that sympathetic heart Of his Tor the
crushing of .mihtarism miltarism.
For ourselves, our sympathy is on the
side of the man who protects the lives
Of birds and builds them homes, and
whose thoughts turn, as Christmas
nears, to a hope for empty trenches; to
the conservation of human life; to an
end to suffering and destruction and 10
happy reunions at hearthstones which
know at this time only bitter tears and
aching hearts.
The Ford ship will sail despite it's
scoffing critics.
1t may accomplish nothing by way Of
immediate results, but has had the ef-
feet already of setting the whole world

THE
A1R'DESICNS

Henry Supernant has completed the
beautiful centerpiece which he has
been designing for the Musselshell
county fair, and this was forwarded
to Roundup Sunday morning. He has
designed this unique display from
grasses and grains of various colors,
the figure being a huge musselshell,
which half opened, reveals a wealth
of grains and other products. 1t is a
thing of beauty and of which any artist
might be proud. This shell will be the
center of the display which Mussel-
shell county will exhibit at the state
fair at Helena this fall.
Mr.. Supernant has completed the
design for the Fergus county display
at the state fair. and it will probably
be more beautiful than any yet. A
number of girls are now at work sort
ing grains and making lace" and
rope" for decoration, and in a word
the display this year will be quite
worthy of the wonderful yield of grain
which is Fergus county's boast.

WILL BE
WILSON

WASHINGTON, Sept. l. - Indica-
tions were given here tonight that
President Wilson's closest friends ex-
pect him to be renOminated for the
presidency in 1916 and are laying
their plans accordingly. The presi-
dent himself, it was said authorita-
lively, however, is taking no part in
such plans.
Qualification felt by the president
over the action of democrats in the
Tenth congressional district in Wash
ington, in indorsing his administra-
tion, was expressed in letter from
Secretary Tumulty, which became
public here tonight.
Last September Secretary Tumulty
sent a letter to New Jersey demo-
cratic leader asking that no steps be
taken to indorse the president for
another term and saying: "The pres-
dent feels that it might seem as If
he were taking advantage of the eX-
traordinary situation now existing to
gain a personal advantage through
such an expression of confidence"
AS far as the president himself is
concerned he is understood to take
the same position at present, but
many of his friends are declared to
believe that no further efforts should
be made to stop political indorse-
ments which may be offered

of the Chinook country and is widely
known. This was his first visit to
the Judith basin and he expressed
himself as very favorably impressed
with it.

he said just before leaving, "the best
