The North Yakima Republic does not be-
lieve sthat labor should insist on extending the
eight-hour principles at this time when the full
produce of every industry is required" The
Republic, however, insists that the wage scale
must be improved, as Sin most lines of work
wages are lower in the Northwest than they are
elsewhere, and the cost of living is higher"
The Grays Harbor Washingtonan is also
coming around to the eight-hour day viewpoint
tho begrudgingly. 1t insists that it should be
national law, for it would "not be fair to the
manufacturers of the west, while the employees of
the timber industry of the south are working 10
hours day."

Harrison Gray Otis

Gen. Harrison Gray OTIS hater of organized
labor is dead. He spent his great gifts irsgrind-
ing down. so far as lay in his power, the men and
women who earn their daily bread by the sweat
of their brow.
Let those who can give him tear. For the
great mass of humanity, it will be impossible.
Otis fought bravey, as a young man, for the
Union. He fought under Abraham Lincoln's
banner. But his career in peace belied his activ-
ity in war. That civil war was fought to free men
from slavery Whether young Otis understood
its significance can well be doubted, for later
turnout long life, he fought to enslave men
and women.
Men who enlisted in the cause of industrial
justice, the Hiram Johnsons of his adopted state
for instance, Gen. Otis treated with venom and
savage hatred.
His boyhood friend, President Mckinley, made
him general in the Spanish American war, and
again, in the Philippines, he fought braveIy.
Otis loved battle When his country was at
war, Otis fought with America. When his coun-
try was at peace he fought the spirit of liberty
which guides America. He fought the American
right OF men to organize for decent wages and
working condition. He fought that millions
might continue in poverty and misery!
Gen. Otis was brilliant man, endowed with
pity that when he died he failed to leave single
regret in the heart OF the average American.
It's not so much the German line that is impreg
nable as the German head.
The German crown prince calls the submarine th,

a good hold and crawled up to the

his way to shore. Had it not been for

SOME CONSCRIPTION EVADERS
WILL LOSE CITIZENSHIP

If there were any persons in Mon
tana or the northwest who attempted
to escape conscription by going across
the border line into Canada, they are
subject to loss Of citizenship under
law enacted during the civil war.
An act of congress approved on
March 8, 1865, and carried into the
revised statutes Of the United States,
in 1878 as section 1898 provides that:
"Every person who hereafter de-
serts the military service of the
United States or, who being duly en-
rolled, departs the jurisdiction of the
district in which he is enrolled, or
goes beyond the limits of the United
States, with intent to avoid draft into
the military or naval service, lawfully
ordered, shall be liable to all the pen
alties and forfeitures of section 1896"
Section 1896 prescribes a penalty
of forfeiture of citizenship, and of
the right to become a citizen, and
also the right to hold any office of
trust or profit under the United
States, and all rights of citizenship.
BY the act of August 23, 1912, con-
gress re-enacted that section and pro-
vided that the penalties named should
not apply to one who deserted in
times of peace.

MONTANA HAS MADE A
RECORD FOR PATRIOTISM
State Leads Nation in Registra-
ton, Liberty Loan and Red
Cross Quota.

Montana is attracting no end of
favorable comment in Washington for
the spirit in which the people of the
state have entered the great world
war.
Its record of registration under the
conscription law, it's subscription to
the Liberty Loan and its percentage
of enlistment in the regular army
and navy are, taken altogether, with
out an equal in the United States.
Then came the Liberty Loan. Mon
tana's allotment was fixed at seven
million and odd, but the state did not
stop at this. Instead it greatly over
shadowed it's quota and sent the en-
couraging news to Washington that
the people of this great state have
put their purses back of the presi-
dent in the conduct of the war. The
Minneapolis federal reserve district
to which Montana belongs failed to
secure its allotment to the great
Liberty Loan, but this was no fault
of Montana, and doubtless was a
cause of charging the people of the
state who had so patriotically rallied
to the financial needs of the country
Montana's responses to the needs of
the regular army likewise has been
most gratifying to officials here
many of the best young men of the
state entering the service through
this channel.
And now the news reaches Wash
ington that the state has completed
the task of raising more than its
allotment of the Red Cross fund with
the same spirit that it put behind the
Liberty Loan.
Altogether the people of Montana
have reason for pride and satisfac-
tion over the part that the state is
playing in the great war to make
the world safe for democracy.
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1917-06-29

Helena, June %. The belief gener-
ally entertained that owners of farms
in Montana would take advantage of
an opportunity to borrow money from
the state on their property if they
had it, has proved up to date not to
be we'll founded. A statement issued
by Sidney Miller, state land register,
shows that up to May 25, but 18 farm
loans had been made by the state
board of land commissioners, aggre-
eating $4,000. There is available for
investment almost $2,0O0,000 in the
common school and other permanent
funds of the state.
There is no red tape and little de-
lay in obtaining loan on a farm
from the state, and little expense to
the borrower. In fact, the only ex-
pense the borrower has to assume is
in furnishing the abstract. Loans are
made on good improved patented
farm lands, to the amount of two
fifths of the appraised value of the
land, the appraisement being made by
the state, without cost to the pros
pective borrower.
Loans are made for as small sum
as $500, for not less than three years
nor more than ten years, the interest
being six per cent payable annually
The mortgage or any multiple of it
may be paid off at the end OF three
years, or at any interest paying pc.
riod after three years.
Money in Thirty Days.
State land board officials are un'
! able to understand why under the
