We'd Dislike To Be The
Kaiser When 1t Comes To
The Day of Settlement.

Isn't IL really a question with the
Kaiser of how long the financial wheel will
20 around without greasingl
And isn't this pretty heavy question
to deal with and pretty vital when a peo-
pie are hungry and the cupboard is low.
When the war lord has wanted war
funds, he has issued war bonds.
The people have bought these bonds.
Then the Kaiser has used the money to
pay soldiers and the wages of workers in
government munitions plants and in other
government jobs.
Thus, the wheel turns so that the peo-
pies money is always circulating from the
people to the government, back to the
people and again to the government, the
people finally having bonds representing
their money and their services.
The Kaiser's wheel has so gone round
and round until he has about II billions
Of bonds outstanding in FIVE popular loans.
and now it is loan of two billions Of
dollars.
Now, wheel like this will go round
and round indefinitely, provided it is
CREASED, the grease so-called being inter
est, which. in the Kaiser's case, amounts
to some 600 millions year.
A bond that defaults on interest is an
object of suspicion, and the Kaiser has
but two ways in which to raise interest
One way is TO take it out Of the new
loan.
The other is to raise it from current
taxation.
The first way would leave him only
about twelve hundred millions for war
purpose and would also be dangerous as
showing that the wheel had begun to PC
round and round solely on its own mo
mentum
He has undoubtedly heavily staked
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria.
The securities of these countries cannot
appear choice to even the most obtuse Of
Germans.
To raise the interest by taxation mus
discourage a people already standin,
about all they can bear under the higl
cost and scarcity of necessaries, and VIII,
have already sent most of their monel
thru the wheel aforesaid.
The promised victory and big war in
dsmnities are farther off then ever ant

sidering what they'll have in the way of
purchasing power when they get thru.
If the wheel goes round and round
much longer, they'll have nothing save
bonds, and they may be repudiated.
II is one thing for a people to stand
more and more taxation during a war.
II is quite another thing TO make them
stand it when peace comes, and we should
think that the Kaiser would be worrying
awfully about the day of settlement

However, Maybe the lingo
Newspaper Doesn't Know
What a Pacifist Really Is

A meeting of citizens of Detroit, an
nouncing themselves, quite frankly, del
egates of the amalgamated German
American, Austro-American and Hun
rarian-American societies" was quickly
termed meeting of ''pacifists" by De
troit's jingoistic morning newspaper
The jingoistic morning newspaper was
quick to term this meeting OF 'pacit-
lists becayse some resolutions adopted
by it were distinctly un-Amertean and
distinctly ill-advised.
The resolutions deplore the entrance
of the United States into the war on the
side of England and charged President
Wilson with having abandoned the Mon
roe doctrine for wilson's doctrine
In no place do the resolutions deplore
the announcement on the part of the
German government that it considers IT
self no longer bound by the laws intend
ed TO safeguard neutral nations on the
seas.
In no place do the resolutions deplore
the fact that the German government
has turned outlaw and pirate.
In no place do the resolutions deplore
the fact that the German government Is
guilty of practices which have resulted
in a state Of mind and a temper in this
country that the most peaceful of its cit
liens have been unable to hold longer in
check.
In no place do the resolutions blame
GERMANY for the entrance OF the
United States into the war on the side
of England.
In no place do the resolutions take
coQnizance of the fact that the lives lost
in the sinking of American ships were
the lives of peaceable American citizens.
The president of the Turnyerein, in St.
Joseph, Mo-, has ordered all German
flags and portraits of notable Germans
removed from Turner hall
In their places have been placed the
red, white and blue and pictures of
American statesmen.
'.St. Joseph German=Americans are
loyal said the president of the Turn
verein. They are ready 10 help their
adopted country in every way"
That sounds more like it, and exhibits
much better taste.

Except 1t Die

lhou 1901, that which thou sowest is
not quickened except it die"
There is no life that is not prepared
by death. Death is the door of life.

The apple blossoms exquisite exist

All living things emerge from the
womb Of death.
Every dollar of profit is the spent life
of some worker.
Life is an endless procession. All liv-
ing things go down into death and come
up again having received the strange
baptism of new life The plants, the
hocks, the human creatures Of today all
move toward decay; short time and
everything that now is alive will be gone,
to make way for the next order of living
things.
Life is not a continuous stream; il is
pulsation, coming and going

Death
Old ideas and beliefs likewise perish
that the new may draw sustenance from
their dissolution.
From the death of the old credulities
arises the beauty Of faith. Out of de-
cayed theologies come the new humani-
ties. From dead monarchies are fed new
democracies.
Astrology, necromancy. magic, and the
like persisted, and from their mould
sprung up astronomy, psychology, biol
ogy, all the vigor of the young sciences.
The dominance of the Greek, the Ro-
man, and the Hebrew had to pass, so
that modern thought. organization, and
ethical conviction might have life.
Competition must die that co-opera-
tien may live.
Privilege in its protean forms must be
killed that justice and the common wei
fare be fattened upon its flesh.
IL is of great concern 10 men how
they may keep alive their institutions;
it ought to occupy them still more how
they can bury them. For in time every
institution ceases to minister to life and
becomes an instrument of death. The
thing is to get rid of it with as little
violence as possible when it ceases to
serve men.
In time all sects must die, that religion
may live, all nations must die, that hu-
mainly may live; all schools must die,
that education may live all people must
die. that their children's children may
live; all systems of truth, all statements
of truth, all creeds must die, that truth
may live and ba evergreen.

Helena, Feb. 1.-President NJ. NJ.
Donoghue of the Montana Federation
of Labor, announced ut the opening
of the morning session today, that he
had been the object OF some criticism
with reference to the handling Of the
Transfers and workingmen's strike in
Butte last June: that he wanted those
delegates who had been so prolific in
their condemnation to come forward on
the floor of the convention and state
their grievance if they had any. The
overshadowing feature of the morning
session was a discussion with refer
ence to the organization of the retail
clerks of Missoula. President Donog-
hue said that men within and men
without labor organizations are prone
to criticize and that an honest criti-
cism was permissible at all times, but
there had been assertions that Donog-
hue had been bought Off: that he got
$500 to settle that controversy.

now in safe keeping at the town jail
Last week it developed that one of
two deer which had been feeding with
stock in the pastures along the river
west of town had been shot The SPOT
where the animal had been slain was
visible in the snow. A search revealed
that the carcass had been hidden in a
straw stack near st. Mary's mission,
while the head and some of the refuse
had been deposited in an old well near
the Mission. The game wardens have
been busy on the case. but have not
found sufficient evidence to convict.
Local sportsmen are on the anxious
seat-somc of them were not fortunate
