MISS RANKIN Is BUSY.

Several days since we eX-
pressed some curiosity as to why
Representative Rankin was not al
home with her fellow citizens Of
Missoula, engaged in the useful
and warlike occupation of knit
ing sweaters and socks for our
soldiers.
Now we learn that our repre-
sentative is engaged in the more
important duty of campaigning
New York state in behalf of the
suffragists. There is to be a vote
on that issue next month and we
have no doubt that Miss Rankin
IS rendering valuable aid in this
very worthy cause. She speaks
we'll and 10 the point, and is pos
sessed Of charming and cngag-
ling personality. We hope with
all our soul that victory will re-
ward her efforts.
When suffrage is won in New
York state. the imperial city of
our country will be rid of the stig-
ma and humiliation Of Tammany
Hall. The women of the Empire
|State-and they are fine lot
intelligent. educated and high
minded, Will come into their own.

tended 10 The legislature they will

hind their sisters Of the West in
taking up this cause,
President Wilson in his address
to delegation of New York state
women on Thursday was espe-
cially earnest in his hope for the
success of their campaign. He
spoke truly and we'll when in re-
lerring to the work Of women in
this great crisis OF our nation, he
said: Il think the whole coun-
try has appreciated the way IN
which women have arisen to this
great occasion. They have not
only done what they have been
asked to do and have done it with
Iardor and efficiency, but they
have shown a power to organize
for doing things Of their own mi
tlatlVe. which l. quite a.different
thing, and a very much more diff
licult thing. | think the whole
country has admired the spirit
and capacity and the vision Of
the women Of the United States. !"
Our best wishes and high hopes
60 with the women who are max
ing this fight. We rejoice that
our own Representative Rankin is
siding them. We are inclined to
think that she finds JOY in the
fray, \ return to Montana might
bring TO her a tinge of sadness
and loneliness since several of
her |. w. w. advisers are lying in
jail. Because Of the espionage Of
the government she might find
embarrassment in comforting
with them. She might even be
compelled to send flowers and
home made angel cake in lieu of
a call. We will wager that she
would heave a sigh of relief if
they We're conscripted into the
United States army.

Of Mr.. Francis II. Sisson OF New

Germany's supply and source Of
supply OF cotton is exhausted,
peace will be very near. Mr.. Sis
son points out that when Great
Britain established its cotton en-
barge, Germany registered a more
vigorous protest than over the
food embargo. She could produce
food but could not raise cotton.

There are through history a small
number Of peaks which become light
houses ever illuminated for lovers OF
liberty. Bunker Hill Is an American
name symbolizing resistance to q SUI

Of Prussianism. Marshal Joffre and
the heroes who faced the invaders not

but prevented Prussian militarlsm from
submerging tho whole world"
Tho secretary said the United States

Liberty and Marine are words today
and forever inseparable."

Liberty IL not yet assured IN the

once for all by the battle Of the Marine
that the twentieth century Will not De
