Archbishop John Ireland of ST. Paul
in n farewell address to group of
young Minnesota recruits said: When
we speak Of our country we have in

of our fathers. but we have in mind
the grand and noble things for which
America stands-libcrty and order and
order in liberty. America rises before
the nations of the earth as that great
country which above all others gives
democracy to mankind which makes
every man feel that 1t is pleasant to
walk upon the earth, and which show
crs blessings untold upon all it's peo-
pie. Great and good is our country.
and sacred is the duty to defend it, to
make sacrifice for it," That is truly
an inspiring message. 1t tempts one

What Missoula Was Doing

zctte, Wednesday morning, May 25.)
The carload of provisions and sup
plies collected by the committee Mon
day and yesterday for the Occur
d'Alcne miners is ready for shipment
and the committee can not be too
highly praised for it's energy in rails
ing $1,000 worth of goods SO speedily.
Unfortunately the washouts along the
Occur d'Alene branch will probably
render it necessary to send the car
load around by way of Spokane in
which case it will take longer of
course, to reach its destination. 1t
will finally get there, however. and
will be as much appreciated as will
be the spirit in which it is sent.

proposes to utilize every talent and
energy of the faculty and student
body to strengthen national security.
This is not a war of Drawn and

science and education" the chancellor
said.
1t was once British boast that
their latter day wars were won Oh

that sort of drivel has past This
war, as the chancellor suggests, is
being fought from the laboratories, the

Consequently. instead of yielding to
nervous emotionalism, everything
must be done to speed up the work of
the university.
There was a great pother and. as
the chancellor put it, useless putter-

gravity of a state of war was realized

have been to have held them to their

yet, anyway. our first eastern cX-

extra cars had to be put on to

rumors of the higher schedule have
not materialized. The announce

boost the excursion business, so
that there will be little difference
from that of former years. The ru-
NOR that the parks would be closed,
