we tried SO many medicines without
good results. When we heard of
Doan's Kidney Pills. we gave them IA
trial and the child soon began to I'M
prove. / followed up the first box

TO LET STOCK CRAZE
IN NATIONAL FORESTS

Helena, May 20.--Because of lceway
allowed forest supervisors to meet the
expected food shortage and to, aid in
the general preparedness plan, the ma
tional forests may be grazed to their
limit and more cattle are being al
lowed on the ranges than was allotted
in the government estimate, say local
forest officials.
On account Of the lack of sufficient
grazing lands in the eastern section of
the state, there Is certain to be an
immense number of sheep shipped to
the national reserves in the western
part of Mon tina.

CHANCELLOR HAYNES

The people of the First Chancery
Division, particularly the litigants, re-
gardless of party, will be glad to know
that Chancellor Hal H. Haynes has
consented to stand for reelection at
the August election 1918. Judge
Haynes was elected Chancellor four
teen years ago, succeeding Judge
John P. Smith who retired voluntarily
to become Governor of Mountain
Branch National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers, a position he is
still holding with distinction and cred
it, 1t goes without saying that Judge
Haynes will be reelected next year,
in fact it is hardly probable that he
will have any serious opposition. He
is peculiarly fitted by nature, it seems
with that judicial pOise or tempera-
ment that lawyers refer to frequently,
but in reality is only sound horse
sense, cultivated and ripened by
close study, and directed by conscien-
tious conviction and heart that
beats true to mankind. When all the
courts in all the states are presided
over by this type of man it will in
deed be a glorious tribute to the ell
ectorate and the rights of the people
will be protected.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF AG-
RICULTURE DECLARE ALL
CLASSES ARE PATRIOTS

Washington. April 25.-Fresh from
an extended tour of the south in the
interest of agricultural preparedness
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of
agriculture, returned today highly
enthusiastic. He issued statement
declaring that he found all classes
periodically responding to the gov
ernment's appeal for increased crops
and predicted that the south would
do it's best. He said that he wished
that the rest of the country could
know of the splendid spirit animating
all classes of the south, and this is
not only among the farmers but the
bankers and business men are getting
right into the producing of crops. He
added: Il take off my hat to the
SOUTH"

it were not evident to any reader OF
the history of wars fought prior to
the Twentieth century and doubiy ap-
parent to any reader of the history OF
the present war, that the volunteer
system is ineffective and grossly I'M
lust to those who volunteer in that it
is the cause, inevitably, of a needless
sacrifice of men.
Democrats who decline to aid the
president at this crisis in the affairs
of the nation make grave mistake.
Surely his patience, his conscientious
ness, his sense of responsibility, en-
title President Wilson to more con-
sideration than is shown to him by
members of his own party who, be-
cause of a sentimental preference for
the volunteer system are willing to
ignore the lessons that have been
written in blood upon British battle
fronts at the cost Of tens Of thou
sands of wasted lives, to say nothing
of wasted time and wasted treasure.
The war might now be at an end
if Great Britain had inauguratcd the
selective draft at its outset and been
ready in April, 1916, to fight as the
British are fighting now in concert
with the French along the wayeriug
German front from which it will not
again advance.
1t would be better for the United
States to arrive in Northern France,
or in Southern Germany, in March,
1918, with a trained army than to
arrive there in October 1917, with a
volunteer army. If the war should
be ended before 1918 Americas rep
utatiOn would not suffer by reason OF
her preference for a trained army
ready to fight in 1918 as against
100000 unframed volunteers ready
to be slaughtered in 1917. If, as a re
suit of the value of this country as
a base of supplies for the Entente,
the war should be ended without the
American flag being represented in
France otherwise than by the Ameri-
can aviators. or by those gallant
spirits plus. a small expeditionary
force of volunteers following Theo-
dore Roosevelt, this country would
not be charged with delinquency be-
cause of its determination not to
Join the fight unprepared and make
it's forces a burden to its allies.

GET BEHIND THE PRESIDENT

The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee has approved the Selective
Draft Bill Endorsed by the president.
The House Military Affairs Commit
tee has disaproved the Administration
Bill, reporting it with amendments
that emasculate it. The senate seems
ready to pass the Administration
measure. 1t may come to the house
from conference, for vose. II 1t
should occur the democrats who have
made the error of voting against the
selective draft, and in favor of the
volunteer system, with CONSUMPTION
as last resort, should correct their
error and get behind the president.
The Importance of aiding the pres
ident and his informed advisors can
not be overestimated,
1t is evident that the house COM
mitteemen who oppose the presidents
plan labor under the delusion that
sufficient number of men should vol
