WHY SOCIALISTS QUIT.

The attitude of the present organi-
cation of the Socialist party toward
our country in war time was well
brought out recently by Mr.. ]. G..
Phelps Stokes, who resigned from the
organization because it was no longer
patti lotto.
The party constitution contained this
article: ANY member Of he party who
opposes political action or advocates
crime. sabotage or other methods Of
violence as a weapon Of the working
class TO aid In its emancipation shall be
expelled from it's membership in the
party" This article was abolished
from the party's constitution at the st.
Louis convention not long ago and Mr.
Stokes charged that it was removed
because certain element did not wish
to forfeit membership on account of
their belief in direct action. The mo-
ton for abolition was adopted after a
delegate had informed the committee
that in his state a resolution had been
passed that on the day CONSUMPTION
should be declared. all Socialists men,
bers should be summoned at once In
their county seats to take such action
as might be deemed necessary In the
emergency. even to resisting the en-
forcement of the law by the employ
ment of arms.
That action, to the mind of Mr.,
stokes. was a clear disclosure of the
intention Of the Socialists to resist
participation in this war if necessary.
While draft day passed without any
Socialistic riots, the day is to come
when the men who have been chosen
must join the army. We may antipicate
that some resistance will be shown at
that time, and certainly all Socialists
who love their country before their
party will leave the orga nization be-
fore it arises.

BOOZE AND THE SOLDIER.

There Is a federal law which pro-
'ldcs severe punishment for anyone
who furnishes an intoxicant to a
soldier of the United States in uni
form. This law, apparently. is violated
repeatedly in Missoula. Many of the
soldiers one sees on the street give
ocular evidence of it.
The police force of Missoula is not
a large one. However vigilant the IA :
trolmcn may be. it is impossible that
they should be able to detect such de-
l''tries to the khaki clad youths In a
manner to guarantee conviction in
court. There must be something else
to make this law effective.
That something else would seem to
be more strict supervision of the
soldiers themselves by the officers at
Fort Missoula. 1t is their business to
know, when a man returns from a
night in the city. Just what his con-
dltion is as to sobriety They are his
responsible commanders and as such
1t Is up to them to make his behavior
what il should be.
II a soldier repeatedly violates the
rules of dccency in the matter of
drunkenness, he should be given a good
stiff reminder in the form of Il long
detention at barracks. There is no cx-
cuse, either on the part of the officers
in command. or soldiers themselves.
for such a thing as a recent case where
a certain member OF the forces at the
fort was locked up in the city Jail three
times in a fortnight for public intoxi-
cation.
The officers in command should helm
the municipal officers in carrying out
Che law which is for the good of the
nation.

Who suddenly remembered
That they had left the gas burning,

The words of the speaker,
1t sounded like dozen boiler

Mr. Vrooman was polite.
He stopped talking because
He thought the autoists wanted to

But.
They didn't.
And when the clatter had

At any rate some

An odd sense of humor.
If they thought
That they were giving the speaker

remark. IT wishes were horses, all

remark has oft been repeated and one
is prone to wonder il the adage could

most of the baggars would be lament

MORE HELP FOR AUDITOR.
Additional Clerks to Be Employed to
Compile Registration.

Because of the large amount OF ad-
ditional clerical work that is going to
be necessary in the auditors office to
compile the registration returns next
week. arrangements have been made to
employ what help Is needed. The super
visors have authorized the employment
Of as many as are needed. The registra-
ton of absentees has occupied so much
Of the time of the regular force OF the
auditors office that the ordinary work
Of the office has ben nearly at stand
still for several days. Altho no record
has been kept Of the number of aosen-
tees registered here, 1t Is estimated that
not less than $50 have done so.
Judging by letters received by young
men from Missouri. who have register
ed here, II is quite evident that state
fears that its quota Will not be regis
tered. This is shown from letters Mis-
souri, young men have been receiving
from postmasters, mayors. and others
of their home towns urging them TO
register in Missouri. The reason is not
clear but If is fact that more young
men from Missouri have been register
ed here than from any other one state.
