TIGERS NOSE OUT I'm 3RD
PLACE AS SEASON CLOSES

Splitting a double-header with
Seattle Labor day afternoon.
while Great Falls took two games
from the Butte Miners, our Tiger
pets managed to cling to third
place in the Northwestern league
finals by the skin of their teeth.
Only four points separate the
Tigers and Electrics, according to
the official dope. Tacoma is 27
points behind Butte.
. . . .
With the 1916 season ended,
directors of the league are opti-
mistic over the future of the
league. The circuit did some ex-
perimental work this year. Two
Montana cities were taken in, CIV
ing the league one of the largest
territories of any minor aggrega-
ton.
. 9 . .
Although Great Falls has had
. hard time supporting her team,
Butte has done nobly. Tacoma
and Spokane have also made
money, Tacoma through sale of
phenom players and Spokane
through big attendance. Helena,
Billings and Missoula are anxious
to enter the league, and they
probably will be admitted, SO
that the expense of the long east
crn trip to the Montana cities can
be minimized.
. . . .
Tacoma won the first game yes
terday through punched hits in
the sixth and ninth. The second
game was one of the fastest of the
year, being finished in one hour
and eight minutes, with a 2 to
score for Seattle.
. = . .
Did you notice Skeeter Bigbee's
record at Pittsburg yesterday? In
the first game of the st. Louis
double-header he made a run and
q hit in four times up. In the sec
ond game he made three hits in
three times up! One of them was
q double. That boy is certainly
making good.

He quoted the statements of diplo-

porting his opinion that the war wave
was reccding rapidly, and that the
Allies had met the full strength Of the
Teutonic foe and matched it with their
own successfully.
Tide Of War Favorable
"The tide of war has begun to fow
strongly in our favor" says the first
lord = statement. 1T began to flow
for us and against the enemy immedi.

always, the sea power has proved the
deciding factor in war. This was true
in spite of the efforts on the part of
our foes to seize the name of victory

The Perilous Mexican Situation.

- Gen. Pershing's report on the Car
rial fight, based upon stories told by
a handful of survivors, is calculated to
intensity public feeling. 1t bears out
the original belief that the American
troops were deliberately ambushed and
were slaughtered without warrant or
shadow of excuse by the treacherous
Mexican soldiery.
American losses at Carrizal were much
heavier than at first reported. and pos
sibiy that even the relief column sent
by Gen. Pershing Immediately upon the
receipt of the news of the encounter
has met disaster. Indeed, there is a
fear in some quarters that the entire
Pershing column may suffer severely
before relief can get to it or before it
can he withdrawn if occasion arises.
If war must come between the United
States and Mexico it is important first
to safeguard the troops who are now in
that country exposed to attack virtually
on all sides and greatly outnumbered.
The days that are passing are precious,
for doubtless Mexico is making prepare
tions for a possible conflict at the same
rate as the United States, probably even
more rapidly. 1t will be an inexpressi-
BILE calamity if Gen. Pershing's force
should be overwhelmed because of the
lack of reinforeements or supports.
IT is vitality important that the issue
should be pressed promptly and Mex
leo be compelled to decide whether the
United States is to be permitted to
maintain its forces south of the border
for the purpose of Furnishing bandits.
against whom the government at Mex
leo City is incapable of operating eff
fectively. The Carrizal affair is evil
dence only too plain of the disposition
on the part of the subordinate Mexican
commanders to attack the American
forces without excuse or on the film
siest pretense of defense. Gen. Trevino
commander of the force directly con-
fronting Pershing, is continually voicing
his hatred of the Americans and his
determination to drive them out north
ward. The situation is full of peril and
cannot remain indefinitely,
A peremptory demand that Mexico de-
fine its attitude, and especially with re-
spect to the prisoners now held at Chi
huahua, would be justified by every
consideration of security and self-re
spect.

Prohibitionists and Socialists.

This is an invitation which George w.
Perkins and Victor Murdoch have just
perused:
"The prohibition national committee

in the United States to attend the pro-
hibition national convention at ST. Paul,
Mimi, July 10 to 81, also the big get
together grand rally and conference
July Is at the same place.
"The 5000 shouting enthusiasts who
for four days monopolized your Chicago
convention will never be content to 20
back to the G. o. p or adopt the don
key as an emblem of progress.
THE prohibition party, the original
progressive party, which adopted ma
tional prohibition, woman suffrage and
other reforms in 1872. is the logical in
heritor of all your following.
81 suggest that day be appointed or
a meeting arranged of representatives
Of your national committee and ours
between now and July in order to pave
the way for genuine union of the real
progressive and reform forces of Amer
ica."
Good, innocent, easy souls, these old
fashioned prohibitionists! But they do
not know the bull moosers, or seem to
understand what the bull moosers at
Chicago were driving at. Those SHOUT
ing enthusiasts" were shouting for, and
in the interests of an individual, and
not for a particular reform, or a num-
Der of reforms. What above all things
they were desiring and trying to pro-
mote was the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt for President BY the repub-
lican national convention. That was all /;
and when that failed, all failed. Mr..
Murdoch, it is announced, is on his way
to China, while Mr.. Perkins is on his
way to the Hughes camp, and will soon
arrive. So, too. ninety nine out of every
hundred bull moosers in the country.

ton of 1912 they polled almost twice as
many votes as in that of 1908; and they

parties are talking in extravagant terms
The democrats can see nothing but
Wilson triumph of overwhelming pro-
portions. while the republicans are fig
uring on landslide to Hughes. If both
are mistaken, and we are facing instead
a closer division of sentiment and
very warm contest. then it becomes of
to consider how many votes
will be east for the tickets of the minor
parties, and how many of them will
come from men of previous democratic
Or republican affiliations.
