Hopes for War to Cure Ills,

Sir: | see by your issue of August
&c where the Hon. Jeanette Rankin
is making an investigation and a study
of the labor conditions and troubles
in the city of Butte in my home state
T have during the spring and summer
been running elbow to elbow with the
farm laborers in different PARTS of
south central Washington. on nearly
every ranch where 7 have been there
seems to be an antagonism between
the farmer and the laborer. For this,
in my humble Judgment. both employer
and emiloye are to blame. On the
part of the employer Is lack Of SYM
hhthE, car" and treatment of his la
horerS. Instead of a good bed and
springs and bath IN the bunkhousc
Nnost all of the large farms have run
ming water> there Is no bath, a board
he'd and a pile of straw long hours and
sometimes a very scant larder.
on the part Of the employees Chat is
in tho main> Is carelessness in the
way and amount Of work done. a cur
rHnt of illwiIl toward their employer.
Especially is this true with the T. W.
w. with whom | have come in contact.
While do not believe in strikes and
lorkorts. honest farm labor in this
mart Of the country is not getting with
IN 30 to 100 per cent OF the wages
they earn in these times of sky gh
PRICES. That Miss Rankin may be
successful in her efforts at solution
Of the labor troubles in Montana is
my earnest wish. Not only that this
world turmoil may end in universal
democracy. but that employer and en-
p'oyo may come to a better under
standing of the rights and obligations
each to the other with honest labor
! getting its just share Of all wealth
which 1t produces is my belief and
| hope.

The Common Duty.

Sir. In The Daily Muscular Of
Sunday, August 10. | note an article
signed 'One of Us" to which I would
like to add that the theme therein pre-
scented is too grand to be lost in the
waste basket. II should be pasted in
every hat, mans or woman's. and Inn
printed in the very soul of every living
person in these United states. that all
might learn that too much was being
asked and too little given to our gov
eminent. and especially at this time.
If ever there existed a time when un-
selfish thought and action was needed
it is the present hour Of our great
trouble. Our country calls. and those
who would hide their cowardice be-
hind a cloak of conscientious objec
tons is not worthy Of the protection OF
any government and those who would
by word or action retard the progress
of the great battle which Is now be-
ing waged for freedom should be dealt
with In manner which would cause
the offender not to care whether he
had a country or not. If man could
only learn to realize the dependence
of man on his fellows. for every joy
and that vengeance is only a breeder
Of regrets. the great army Of towards
and slackers would disappear like frost
under a MONDAY sun. and they would
cease calling upon their government
for privileges greater than were ever
guaranteed by the great ruler OF all
destinies to anyone The Supreme
Ruler has given us natural laws and
written laws and disobedence OF any
of His laws is cause for punishment.
Obedience to His great laws gives
promise of reward, but he reward Is
not offered before there is great trials,
tribnlations and suffering, and there
is no reward offered for towards,
slackers or gatherers Of wealth. The
same is true III the present order of
things with our government. We are
asked to go through trials. tribulations
and suffering that we may and those
who come after, us may enjoy peace
and freedom from domination of kings
and tyrants while here on this earth
working out Gods plan for the life
which is to come. SO say with zone
of Us" get busy. do things which are
needed now and give and not ask to
receive the reward until all strife is
settled. I would say to those religious
fraternities who claAm that this is the
last great war, that it is the beginning
of the end of all earthly careers. that
II their theory is correct they above
All should be doing their utmost IS
hasten the end. for God in His promise
of reward has made no provisions Of

great war, end it would seem more fit
ting to be found upon the hattefelds

be found hidden away in the shadows

which is to consume all iniquities.

81 AN HE!"

Kaiser Wilhelm frequently has been
quoted in these columns. Whenever
this self designated choice of God"
to rule the German people expresses
striking, so striking, in fact, that 1t is
quoted the length and breadth Of this
country as showing the sublime ego
tism of the man.
And the following is one Of his lat
est utterances. 1t is part Of a recent
address to German soldiers:>
There is only one master in this
country. I am he. and | will tolerate
no other. There is no law but my law.
there is no Will but my will
From these remarks it might be
gathered that the kaiser has dissolved
his ancient partnership with the AL
swing the business of Germany with
out Divine aid.
out Iti us CONTINUE tlic me u
thought which these remarks suggest:
Assuming for Il moment the I'M
possible, let US imagine that Germany
has vanquished the allies, including
our own country, and now stands in
undisputed mastery of the entire
world. Let US conjurc up the first
visit OF his imperial majesty to the
American provinces subdued by force
of his armies. There would be a gentle
sarcasm in the kaiser's decision to de-
liver his first address from the marble
steps of the wrecked national capitol
or from the ruins Of the academy al
West Point.
The kaiser speaks:
There is only one master IN this

Montana Review

A striking parallel of German
cruelty in Belgium was shown recent
~ when a small infant was found
along the side Of the railroad track
near Glasgow, where 1t had been EVIL
IDENTIFY thrown from a train.
Humdn sacrifice Is still evident, ac-
cor1ing to dispatches from Havne
which state that q prominent doctor
of that city has offered to take the
place Of his son who has been called
into the army by the draft. ~.
Calling attention to . prophecy In
the Bible a Billings evangelist Sunday
preached a sermon on "The Devils
Vacation" He declared that his sa-
tanic majesty had just been released
from 1000 years imprisonment and
now was making the world a play
ground for his short vacation before
going back to his confines.
w. =. Thorburn, . rancher near
Roundup, has been compelled to sell
his ranch and leave for the east be-
cause his two sons were drafted into
the army. Thorburn has no exem-
tons for his sons. This Is rare pa
triotism..
just where the Montana crops stand
so far as a yield Is concerned Is hard
to determine. Nearly every day there
come conflicting reports as to the pos.
sible. crop this year.
The farmer. who used hot water
from one of the hot springs of the
state 70 hatch chickens with, takes
the prize for ingenuity. He reports
that he had more chicks than by us
ing the usual incubator method.
The residents OF Forsyth have de-
cided to hold a county fair this year
just 50 the farmers can have the OPP
portunity to get Acquainted. The
commissioners say that they expect
to lose money on the affair.
Did someone say that the wild game
of America had become. extinct?
Charles Mechanics, farmer near
Deer Lodge, has been compelled to
build high fence around his hay
stack to keep wild elk from eating 1t
as they did last year.
There is some doubt that the China
man of Butte, who said that he wasn't
of draft age by Gregorian figuring
but that he was by the Chinese meth
od, will be exempted.
Bringing the fire to the water, tn
stead of the reverse was the case In
Roundup recently. when "a box car
caught fire. The response Of the fire
department was not quick enough SO
the car was hauled to a water tank
and the blaze extinguished.

Charges Not True.
Page. Wash.

Sir: ! am glad to state that in my
opinion the charges made by Miss
Rankin against the press of Montana
is unfounded as whole. No higher
minded and fair minded business is
conducted in the state than the Mon
tana press. AS for the majority
of the local weekly papers | can state
with positive knowledge that the state
ments have no foundation.
AS TO the seriousness of the charges
as affecting the interests and reputa
ton of the state. I think that will
hardly be borne out Practically all
of the people of Montana and other
states must know by this time why
such statements are made by our Mon
tana congresswoman. Anyone who goes
to such an extent to gain publicity
will soon find themselves no more a
novelty.

| That war brings far more evil than

the benefits are largely in the future
and are of n speculative or uncer-

substantial results of the lee side of
the wind That is with our neghbor.
Philinsburg. which the war has turned
into a real come back
Philipsburg. as We know. was a
| most prosperous camp in the days
when silver mining was worth while
! For many years, or until +, cent day.
| the old camp has been petering out
! The great Granite mountain mine be-
! came a ghost and the town has been
virtually off the mining map for many
| years.
However. the sturdy citizens of Phil
allurng hope of better days, have
their reward. There is in Philipsblrg
a boom such as was not known in
the best days of silver mining. Great
deposits OF manganese ore nave
brought the camp with u jerk back to
its ancient glory. We are told that
men who We're broke" six months
ago. have become affluent, that five
| are sharing the profits from daily
shipments of four carloads worth $2,-
900 net to the carload. Another man
has $4,000 worth of manganese on
the dump of an old mine. Operations
are progressing on ten properties and
there is an output from the camp of
500 tons a day which will be increased
to 1000 tons within a month. Gov
eminent experts say that the deposits
of pyrolusite, a war necessity. are the
largest in the United States, and are
of the finest quality. The activity in
the camp is SO great that it is i'm
possible to obtain quarters there even
for a nights lodging.
All this is good news. The people
who have remained in Philipsburg de-
serve all that is coming to Them There
is a great and long era of prosperity
ahead and all Montana will be inter-
