4 TIDY TOWN ON SUNDAY.

We would like to live to the
time when the paved streets in
Missoula would be cleaned daily.
Perhaps that is a dream. but we
might work toward it by degrees.
We think that the STRENGTHENING
schedule should be changed 50
that the streets on q Sunday
morning will present the cleanest
appearance possible. We think
the psychological effect of hay
ing clean streets on the first day
of the week is beneficial.
On Sunday morning we bal
ancc the accounts of the past
week and open a new page. The
kids have taken their Saturday
night baths. mother gets out her
go-to-mcetIng gown and ,father,
if he goes to church, puts on his
good clothes. II is a sort of clean
up and start again time. There
fore. it seems to us that the
streets should be made as clean
as possible on Sunday morning.
Some day we will adopt the Paris
plan of flushing our paved streets
every night. Until that time we
would like our mayor and COM
mssioners to try the experiment
of making the town look as neat
as possible by church time.

As TO POLITICAL PARTIES.

We do not think much will b,
accomplished in the organization
Of new political parties unless
the movement develops by natu-
raj and spontaneous methods. Te
succeed it must fill q long fell
want, to quote tritc phrase. Par
ties that accomplish things anc
endure are not framed by selfish
schcmers who fancy that condi.
lions are ripe for their persona
advancement The Republican
party was the outgrowth Of 6
great moral movement for tn,
abolition Of slavery. IT was not
the creation of the abolitionlsts
alone. They, in their failure to
accomplish their purpose, were
compelled to turn to the trainers
Of the Republican party for sue
cess. Others that were for The
abolition of slavery. but not for
the abolitionists. went The same
way. Thus the party grew from
many elencnts that were OPP
posed to one another in some re
spccts and yet agreed upon The
necessity Of unity for the one
great business in hand. Out Of it
there arose political party that
WAS TO be dominant in The affairs
OF the country Tor many years.
III a somewhat similar way.
though for a less important r'Ir-
pose, came ihn Progressive party
which was to perform the duty
81 discipllning a party that had
occn overfcd with power and was
forgetting its duty to the people.
That work having been accom-
pl'shed there was no longer need
for The Progresslvcs.
In the rather vague uncertain
I, of the political outlook, we feel
assured Of one thing; that is. that
there IS not enough substance to
tie claims Of The proh,bItlonls'~
whose work has already been
well accomplished. Tie Socialist,
who have broken away from the
old organization, the new Non
Partisan league, and others to
make political party that will
carry a national appeal. To bring
success there must be great mo-
tive To create a following. not
merely in one section. but in all
sections. The local success of the
Non-Partisan league in North
