DEATH OF ADA MAYER

On September /, the death angel
came into the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Mayer and took from their
precious daughter.
Ada Carolina Mayer was born Nov.
II. 1913, at Roman, Montana, and at
the time of her death was 3 years,
months and IA days old. After an
illness of two days of intestinal OBJ
struction, and although all that med
ical skill could and loving hands
coud do. Ada gradually grew weaker
and left this world for heavenly
home with God and the Angels.
Ada had during her life won the
all will miss the sunshine of this
! lovable little girl, she has gone from
the evil to come, and God knows best.
The funeral services were held at
the M. E. church at St. Ignatius on
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev.
E. d. Swisher officiating. Interment
was made in the Mission cemetery.
Silently the shadows of evening
Gathered round the home so dear,
Just the two so sad and lonely,
For deaths angel fingered near.
He who said Suffer little children
TO come unto me-
He will shield our little Ada
Safe through all eternity.
Tho our bright sunbeam has vanished
And our bitter tears we shed,
We will think of her as living,
Tho she's numbered with the dead
THE PASSING OF A FLOWER
AS one sits by his window and
broods over the passing of the sum-
mertime with it's tinted colorings and
it's perfumed breezes; as one recounts
each song, each cheerful word, each
little flower which has made life
worth the living, so we sit tonight in
the firelight's melancholy glow; we
see the image Of our little Ada who
had won her way into every heart
who knew her.
Little deeds of kindness, little
smiles of recognition, little childlike
ways, such as win true response
from every one of US who have dear
ones of our own, were ever hers.
Unobtrusive, never loud, never
where she should not be, still claim
ing recognition by her very presence,
a dignity alike to that of queens, yet
willing to be your friend should you
care to be hers. We feel indeed that
we have given up a gem of incalcul-
able value--not lost, but merely sent
on to the Master above, to be polished
and fitted to wear q crown and robe

is THERE A REMEDY?

How long are the mines and smelt-
ers of Butte. Anaconda and Great
Falls to remain idle? What is nec-
essary to remedy the situation which
will in a short time deprive the Am
erican government of one-fourth of
the total amount of copper needed to
manufacture munitions for it's army
in Europe?
There are 10000 miners idle in
Butte. There are 1000 smeltermen
idle in Anaconda and perhaps as
many in Great Falls. 1t is a conserv-
alive estimate to say that of the
workmen who are out of jobs in
Butte by reason of the shutdown.
there are 5000 who would like to
work il they could do so in peace
and security. 1t is asserted that less
than 600 of the smelter workers in
Anaconda are responsible for the
closing down Of those works and it
is generally conceded that in Great
Falls the shutdown is due solely to
lack OF ore caused by idleness of
the mines.
Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls,
a very considerable portion of the
citizenship of Montana, have been
crucified by few !. w. w. In so far
as the prosperity of the state is af-
fected by the welfare of these cities,
which is to no small extent, Montana
is suffering And the government
and the allied cause will suffer be-
cause of the fact that they are de-
prived of a much needed metal
copper.
Winter is coming on. Coal is very
scarce. The cost of living is high.
There will be suffering among these
workmen if this condition Of affairs
continues. What is the solution?
1T is MARTIAL LAW.
Just because a man works for 1928
a day in Butte he is liable to be dyn-
amited, or struck down from behind
in the dark, and there seems to be
no protection available to him from
either city, county, state, or federal
government.
A few weeks ago Governor Stewart
attended a conference of northwest
ern governors in Portland Over the
Associated Press wires from that
city came story saying that Cover
nor Stewart had said to the other
governors there present, when dis
cussing the T. w. w. menace:
Direct action is necessary in put
ting down the I. w. w. invasions. It
is fatal to let these opponents of
destruction get a foothold. Exper-
fence has taught us that determined
action rather than procrastination is
what is effective"
The whole state of Montana sat up
and applauded that alleged utterance
of the governor and felt better. One
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1917-09-07

newspaper was unkind enough to say:
Fine talk-at Portland. We will
see what happens at Helena"
What did happen at Helena? Why,
the governor denied that he ever
made such a statement either in
Portland or anywhere else-and the
I. w. w. went right ahead, and now
the mines in Butte are shut down.
and the smelters at Anaconda and
Great Falls are idle, and $4,000 men
are out of work because about 1900
of then-maybe not that many-are
disloyal to the government in time
of war and needless of the welfare
Of their fellow craftsmen at any
time.
Fifteen thousand working men are
facing a long, cold, hard winter
without work. Hundreds Of loyal
miners have left Butte to seek a
field where they may labor in peace.
Every day of delay makes the situa-
ton worse. Martial law should be
declared in Butte and Anaconda
Every man who interferes with an
other man to prevent him from work
ing should be put in a barbed wire
bull pen and fed on war prison ra-
tions. Every man willing to work
should be given the protection to
which he is entitled under the flag
of a free people.-Hclcna Record

While Montana is making rapid
strides in the dairy industry and the
breeding of choice dairy cattle in the
past few years, the state is taking
no backward step in the production of
beef cattle, and the Montana breeder
will easily hold their own in competi-
ton with the world. The state fair
this year, it is now certain, will DEM
onstrate the high rank taken by Mon
tana in the production of fine cattle,
both in the dairy and beef breeds.

Name Irish Military Bishop.

The Irish Catholic announces on reli-
able authority that as a result Of nego-
tiations between the Vatican and the
British government il has been decided
that an Irish military bishop shall be
appointed TO act as Catholic chaplain
general of the Irish troops, and the pre-
late to be appointed will also have juris-
diction in the case of Irish soldiers serv-
ing in English and Scotch regiments. The
paper makes an urgent appeal for more
Irish Catholic chaplains. At the begin
ming of the war there was some hitch
about this matter and the effect was bad.
But difficulties have been removed for
some time past and the war office is glad
to provide for all the chaplains that may
be needed.
The current-Irish assizes have demon
strated that in the midst of whatever
remarkable freedom from crime in Ire
land. In Sligo. Waterford. Tyrone and
north Tipperary there were no criminal
cases at all for trial, and the judges
were presented by the sheriffs with
white gloves. In several other coun-
ties there was only one trivial case
each and except in one or two in
stances there were not more than three
in any county. Judge Gordon told the
Cork grand jury that that county was
quite normal; that il did not show any
thing like a state of restlessness and
such offenses as there were did not in
snire any terror in the community. In
Belfast Judge Ross congratulated the
CITY on the great diminution In feelings
of religious bitterness, which has been
in the past a source of frequent riot
and disturbance.
