GET BEHIND THE RED CROSS.

Montana's aid for the Red Cross is
taking the form of determined, organ
lied effort. 1t is Il large business re-
quiring the best brains Of the state If
the work is to be done well. This
equipment we are glad to say. has
been offered freely and Montanans
who do things will be in charge
= The work of the Red Cross is so i'm
portant and SO large as to place it
entirely beyond the limits of ordinary
methods of charity. We doubt whether
everyday citizens have anything like
an adequate notion of what the Red
Cross does and what it requires. This
may come home to us later when the
war becomes a close and stern reality.
Not all of us are to fight, yet all
may help 1t is the duty OF those who
stand behind the lines to lend every
effort to those in front. The work of
the Red Cross at this time is that of
active and highly important prepara-
tlon lof war. Nnen the SICK ana
wounded are brought back from the
battle field, the Red Cross will restore
them to fitness. 1t is not to be believed
that the American people will be lack
ing in helping the movement that is to
save the lives Of our boys after tho
have been left wounded en- the field
The men and women of Montana,
who are giving their time to this work,
ment. Before and during Red Cross
week our people of Missoula should
mass together to increase the member
ship and perform such duty as is as
signed to them.

NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Ten years after the civil war no man
was proud of having been n copper
head. Moreover. you never heard the
descendant of copperhead boast of
the disloyalty of an ancestor who may
have opposed and harshIy criticized
the government during the memorable
struggle of the sos.
These are facts worth RECALLING at
the present time. when again there are
certain persons in this country who are
prone to criticize and oppose the gov
eminent and it's plans. in connection
with the war into which this nation
has been forced in order to protect it's
honor ana safety. Some there are who
conceal their feelings beneath a prc-
tense of patriotism. while others are
more ontspoken in their antasonism to
government policies. although usually
endeavoring to keep within the bounds
OF personal safety.
In either. case, however, American
citizens who take this attitude should
recall the stigma and disgrace which
attached to those who acted similarly
during the civil war, and how il re-
puired years to live down the lncn-
Hiable reputation thus gained. 1t was
a very unpleasant experience for all
those who foolishly permitted them
selves to he classed as copperheads,
and the experience of present day con-
p'rheads is likely to be just as
pleasant and irksome.-The Daily
Northwestern.

began at the Mascot theate- this
morning at about 12:4b and continued
for two hours, round after round,
without much advantage on either

that his right wrist was broken. The
