Collectors of stamps, rare coins,
Indian relics and birds eggs are COM
mon enough the world over, but it
has taken Montana to produce a COL
lector who has unique hobby. His
name is James A. Murray, his home
is in Butte and his hobby is making
a collection of hot springs.
Mr.. Murray, who for years has
been one of Montana's S most promin-
ent bankers and mining men, first
purchased Hunters Hot Springs in
Park county, one of the best known
of the health resorts of the state.
Next he acquired Boulder Hot
Springs in Jefferson county. another
noted watering place. Now it is an
nounced that he has bought the fam
GUS Broadwater hotel and hot springs
near Helena, and announces that the
place will be opened up in the near
future.
When asked why he bought so
many hot springs, Mr.. Murray re-
piled: II have been in Montana for
SO years and l don't notice that the
Lord is making any more of them"
Huge Covered Plunge.
At Broadwater is one of the finest
hotels of the kind in the west, while
the Broadwater natatorium is one of
the largest covered plunges in the
world. The springs there are of
splendid quality while the big park
of the property is of special beauty.
Broadwater took it's name from
the late Colonel Broadwater, a Hell
ena capitalist, and one of the states
leading men, who established it,
After his death, the property
passed into various hands. f. Au-
gustus Heinze once owned the place
and after it's big hotel had been
closed for years, the property passed
into possession of James Breen, a
well-known Montana capitalist, who
also owned Gregson Springs at one
time and who, on selling Gregson
Springs, acquired the Broadwater.
The natatorium was put into use, but
the hotel was not opened.
Hugh Daily, formerly manager of
Gregson Springs, took over control
of the property from Mr.. Breen and
opened the hotel.
After a few months. Mr.. DAILY
closed the hotel.
Noted Social Gatherings.
Some of the greatest social gather
ings in the history of the state have
occurred at Broadwater and it's fame
is nationwide.
Mr.. Murray is completing plans
for the reopening of the Broadwater
as a popular resort.
His Boulder and Hunters hot
springs have proved great successes.
The Broadwater is most convent
emily reached from Helena and is
situated in a garden spot.

Until the status of the home
guards of the various states is fixed
by the war department, thorough or
ganization probably will be delayed,
but meanwhile Montana has done
much in that direction, and of all the
movements inaugurated, none prom
ises more efficient service than that
among the riflemen of the state.
There are nearly 1900 riflemen in
Montana-almost regiment of
sharpshooters, and they comprise
hundreds of veterans and are as we'll
mostly men still in vigorous middle
life, as contrasted to the civilian
home guards, which, as rule, are
composed of men past As years of
age.
Captain Stivers Leads.
The father of the riflemen's move
ment in Montana is Captain D. Gay
Stivers, president of the Rocky
Mountain Rifle club in Butte Capt.
Stivers is not only one of the best
target shots in America but probably
has killed more big game than any
other man in the state, if not in the
land. He is a veteran as we'll, hav-
Ing IdlScu COHpduy OIL cavalry
which he led to the Spanish war.
Should the rifle clubs form home
guard regiment, Captain Stivers
would undoubtedly be offered the
colonelcy by acclaim.
The rifle clubs, not only in this
but in all other states are affiliated
with the National Rifle association
of America, which works in co-opera-
ton with the National Board for the
Promotion of Rifle Practice, which
in turn was established by congress
to cooperate with the department in
developing an army reserve. The Ma
tional association is composed of
more than 100000 men-a most for
midable corps, since nearly all are

FREE SPEECH

FREE SPEECH,
This is at the base of most Of the
disloyalty evidenced in this country,
one Of the basic principles upon which
this government was founded-free-
dom Of speech. The trouble, however,
lies not with the principle itself so
much as with its erroneous aprlica-
ton.
First, We must realize, which many
Of u malcontents have failed to do,
that there can be no such thing as
free speech. Theories and honest
views as to the expediency or justice
of proposed laws are perfectly proper
BEFORE the enactment of such laws.
The undisputed right Of the majority
to rule imposes upon the minority,
AFTER lts enactment, the duty of abSo-
lutte obedience. Any other view Of the
matter tends to the destruction Of the
very fabric of free government.
In times Of peace and quietness this
view Of the citizens duty to govern.
ment has always been literally con-
strued, and much really reasonable
criticism has been passed wei an .
condoned. From this ~leniency there
has arisen in the minds Of many un
thinking persons the idea thar the
right to express ones thoughts, no
matter how reasonable those thou hts

THE NEED OF
M SAVING.

The United States is now at war. A
large part of our country's hum an en-.
ergy is taken away from the farms
factories and industries of peace, anC
until the wal ends all their energie:
will be devoted to fighting.
A great portion of our productive
energy is being turned into the crea-
ton of implements Of destruction. Many
Of our products are now being devoted
to war purposes. Destruction instead
of construction is the object of a great
portion Of the country's energy.
AS much of the human energy and
productive capacity as the nation is
now being devoted to the purposes Of
war, so should the proper amount Of
money of the United States be so devo-
ted. He who offers his life for his
country is offering the greatest posi-
BILE sacrifice, but the American men
and women who support the govern
ment with their money are doing their
part.
This war is going to be financed
largely out of the savings Of the
American people during the war. It
is not too great a sacrifice to make
for ones country in time of war to
deny oneself l%uxuries, to cut down
unnecessary expenses, TO lead quieter
and buster lives. Not only will the
money thus saved and used to buy
Liberty Loan Bonds help the United
States but the diminished consump-
ton of food and other articles will do
much to relieve the country from the
strain of war.
The less the people use the less
strain there is upon the productive
capacity of the nation and the more
can be devoted to winning the war;
the more the people save the more
liberal financial support can they give
the government. This is the peoples
war, and it is to be financed by the

OUR SOLDIER BOYS,

Wednesday night two of our stall
wart young men left home and friends
to join the colors. This was the begin
ming. Within a short time 223 of them
will be in the line, training, preparato-
ry to leaving for the front. Many
others may be called to follow. They
go TO fight for Their country and for
world liberty and democracy. These
young men are our representatives in
the greatest war the world has ever
known. The cause for which they
have enlisted is the geatest of the
ages. Every true American will take
off his hat to them and wish them
good speed and victory. If they play
their parts as we believe they will,
they shall be our heroes whether liv-
ing or dead.
Let us prepare to give them such a
send off as viii assure them of our ap-
probation Of their manhood and pat
riotism in this, the greatest undetak-
ing, the %grandest cause and the most
splendid opportunity of their lives.
Fortunate indeed is the young man
who can and will dedicate his life to
such a cause. This is the young mans
opportunity Victory means a new
world and a grander, finer life for all.

may be, is one Of the ~inalicnable
rights Of free men.
A little sober reflection viii show
the fallacy Of such reasoning. We
have laws against murder. ars n, rape
and many other crimes. Would any
dare raise their voices against obedi-
ence to these laws? How long would
such a person remain az large?
But these, you say. are vitality nee
! ssssary. Granted, but we VII g, sur
ther. 81 .Sf1~.-
Taxes are levied, and all are requirs
ed to pay. Have you the right to
counsel resistance to the tax collector
or throw obstacles in his wayf You
may not approve of tie particular law
under which the taxes are LEVIED and
collected. You have a perfect right to
seek to have the law repealed, but NO
right to seek to nullify it. 1t is the
will of the majority, and as such must
stand until repealed by the majority.
While the ~selective draft law was
pending in congress every American
citizen had a right to raise his voice
against it if he felt so inclined. But
AFTER it's passage NO person has a
right to counsel or practice resistance
to it.
The rule is absolute. Its enforce
ment has not always been strict; but
this, as we have stated, was due to
undue leniency when the urge Of public
safety did not demand strict meas
ures. Now, however, public safety
DEMANDS IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE
to the laws Of the land, and every
loyal citizen will throw the whole
weight of his influence in the scale
on the side of law and public security.
To do otherwise is to betray the
government that harbors and protects
you.
A splendid illustration of the princi-
pie involved in this discussion, is had
from the course pursued by William
Jennings Bryan. AT the beginning Of
this war between European nations he
was strongly opposed to the United
States becoming involved in it; so
much so that he resigned his position
as secretary of state.
But after our government had en-.
tered the war, not another word in OPP
position was heard form TIE Great
Commoner. When at last he did speak
it was to take a firm stand as a lo2al
clti7sn IN behalf e his q
az naa. sa,f vsht III
ton with a paeifst meeting 8nd Ger
man sympathizers will find 10 favor

And so it is with every loyaS~Amer-
lean citizen. All others have no place
in this country at this time, aid when
they get their due, they will either be
locked up or kicked out.
