ONE THING At A TIME.

We have been urgently besought by
our dry friends to use what influence
The Muscular has to. see that the
food control bin contains a nation
tnre of alcoholic liquors in any form.
We decline to be a party to that
movement. This does not mean that
we approve the use Of food stuffs for
distilled or matted liquors. It means
that we are entirely willing to leave
this matter in the hands of congress
and that we decidedly disapprove
the work of the dry lobby that Is en-
gagged at the present time in holding
back legislation of the greatest ne
cessity. It seems TO us that our dry
friends are much more Interested in
securing dry legislation from congress
than in eSpedtng Il bill designed to
relieve people of this country from the
eytortion OF food kings: to conserve
the supply of food which Is so badly
uHttfu, " prov AoHlboi vi eHS sup
ply and distribution of food for our
people and our allies or, to put 1t
altogether. a measure to bring peace
closer after the bill Is enacted into
law.
We are not disposed to criticise the
prohibitionists for using a wonderful
opportunity to make this nation dry.
A great deal of it is dry now and
there may be no fear that the presi-
dent and congress will permit the ma
ton to drink up grain and wheat at
the cost of bread.
The inability to see more than one
thing is often of great use in working
out a reform, but on the other hand,
as in the present case, it may be a
distinct handicap to other and greater
purposes.
We must win this war with all
speed. No intelligent or patriotic
citizen should throw the wrong gear
at this time.

FOOD CONTROL.

One of the most sensible speeches on
the food control bill has been made by
Representative Gillette OF Massachu.
sets. a Republican, who has seen long
service in congress. Mr.. Gillette told
the members Of the house he was stag
Eered when he first read the provi-
sions OF the bill under consideration:
that he belonged to a school which has
believed in the law of supply and de-
mand. He concluded by saying ut
now Is obvious the law OF supply and
demand will not meet this situation.
The demand Is far greater than the
supply. and the demand will continue
Hoarders can command any price they
please. There II a new situation to
which my old beliefs do not apply"
That Is the whole argument In a nut
shell. Extraordinary conditions have
arisen as a result OF the war and ex-
traordtnary precautions must be taken
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-07-07
AMERICA MUST HASTEN.

Did you ever see a big boy pick on
smaller one and see the smaller
one, gradually weakening under the
blows of his adversary. grimly stick
to the battle until his brother could
come to his help?
The smaller boy, the rapidly weak
ening boy, is France today. And she.
all but exhausted and virtually with
out reserves, is awaiting the coming
Of help from her brother, the United
States. Supremacy confident that
back the Germans by the use Of the
MANNED and half blind men who had
been rendered unfit for the service
months ago.
France in last grim effort to de-
feat the Hun, is throwing into the
trenches men who have lost foot, or
whose backs have been so torn by
German shrapnel that they are COM
PEELED to wear constantly a plaster Of
cry from them, save the cry that Ger
many must be beaten.
There is no more thrilling picture
in world history than that made by the
French republic today. And while
they tell you in France that they are
going to win the war with Americas
aid, they also admit that they cannot
alone hold out much longer, perhaps
not through the autumn.
what then? Will the men of America
be ready to step into the places of ex-
hausted French In the trenches and
stem a victorious tide of Huns which,
sweeping out of the northwest will
complete the slaughter and rape they
started so well four years ago? VIII
these minions OF the kaiser be stopped
there in France, or will they. defeat
ing their European opponents, sweep
conquest on our own shores?
There is but one answer. America
must be ready to stop the Germans.
not when France Is bled to death, but
at the earliest possible moment before
that time. The small number of
American troops now in France must
be supplemented by thousands upon
thousands more, for immediate train
ing there under officers whose expe-
rience has been gained in this war.
The only thing that can bring Ger.
tain defeat to the armies of the kaiser.
and thus save our own fair land from
spoliation. is immediate aid to war
torn France.

BATTLE SONG OF THE MARINES,

From the Halls OF Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles
On the land as on the sea.
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean.
We are proud to claim the title
OF United States Marine.
From the pest hole at Cavite
To the ditch at Panama,
You will find them very needy
OF Marines-that's what we are;
We're the watchdogs OF a pile of coal
Or We dig a magazine.
Though he lends hand at every job,
Who would not be u Marine?
Our flags unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun.
We have fought In every cline or place
Where we could take u gun;
In the snow of far-off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find lis always on the job
, The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our corps
Which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we have fought for
life
And never lost our nerve;
il the army and the navy
Ever look on heavens scenes.
They will find the streets are guarded
by
. The United States Marines.

Regarding Mary Carson.
Editor MiSsoulian:

Editor Missoulian:
wish to make q statement to the
men and women of Missoula concern
ing one Mary Ward Carson. I am Il
resident of Assoula and have known
Mary since she was a child. which she
Is but little more now. Mary Ward
Carson came to Missoula one year ago
last Christmas from Il farm--:l pure.
sweet girl. Through her marriage and
associations with the soldiers OF Mis-
soula Mary is painted the black dis
solnte character of today. Mary has
imprudently done things which the
press and scandal mongers wish to
call objectionable. Mary's publicity
has made plain the fact that We are
as barbarous and unjust as are the
heathens. TO the woman who has
strayed from the straight and narrow
path.
Mary, not through righteousness, but
through folly, listened to what men
told her the majority OF these being
soldier men, and Mary. being a child
in experience If not in years has
fallen. And the load is gladly laid on
her young shoulders by all the just
and true men and women of Missoula.
And Mary, with no help. no hope, or
encouragement will get where:
All because Il good Christian COM
munity believes the press and reports
instead of investigating and reading
the hearts Of those concerned. That
is the reason there are as many bad
women as there are today.
