BUTTE TOO PROSPEROUS.

1t often has been said that It is far
easier for a man to face adversely and
come out on top than for him to stand
prosperity and not lose his head.
What Is true OF the individual also
applies with equal force to communi-
ties.
For many months past this mining
center has enjoyed an area Of pros
perity the like OF which never has
been equalied in its entire history. so
that those who have lived here for
several decades and know the COM
munity like a book. are not surprised
that discomfort should have arisen
among certain labor elements
This is not strange, for 1t invariably
happens that when work is plentiful
and wages have reached a high scale
here, dissatisfaction always breaks out
and Butte Is as certain OF having
epidefnics Of this kind during good
times, as other communities are sub
ject to attacks OF measles or scarlet
fever. At that. there il no place like
Butte in the view Of those who really
know the town and have an abiding
affection for 1t.
There is nothing the matter with
Butte except that it has been too
rrosperous.-Butte Miner,

ture in her dreams, with the songs Of
love her heart is all attune: all the
world a land or fairy beauty seems to
the maiden who will be bride in June.
There's a CLINT OF joyous triumph In
here eyes as her girly chuns gaze at
her wistfully with their bosoms almost
clogged with envious signs. wishing
they were playing in such luck as she.
and they tell her how the little god Of
love has conferred upon her head a
special boon, and she coos her sweet
responses like a dove softly cooting in
the woodland wilds In June. Never

WHY BASEBALL is SLIPPING.

Is 1t time that professional baseball
is losing it's hold on the American peo-
pie? There seems to us to be on rca :
son that this Is true. American reo-
pie are going into sport more for their
own account-want to participate in
the game themselves, no matter how
badly they play it. That's why ten
mis-. golf and kindred sports are ini
creasing In popularity. We get into
these games ourselves and for our
selves. And this is a change for the
better. The real object of sport is
not only for amusement, but for recre-
alton and physical development also.
Is II not true that we Americans are
taking life just trifle too seriously?
Are We not holding our noses too
closely to the grindstone OF the golden
dollars? What we need is more life
in Gods great out f-doors, more re-

UNCLE SAM uNAPPREc,ATIvE.

The newspapers OF the country,
without exception, did their duty. Day
after day their pages were filled with
appeals to the people of the country.
and through the newspapers of the
country was aroused. Millions upon
millions of dollars of space was given
the war department in support of Lib
erty bonds and registration--and mil
lions more will be given.
Now, then. let's see just how much
the war department appreciates the
millions of dollars worth of publicity
donated by the newspapers OF the
country:
A recent ruling by government of
ficials makes the manufacture of
print paper a non essential to the sue
ccssful conduct of the war. The rul-
ing means that publishers need look
for no decrease in the price of print
paper with the possibility of prices
going still higher with an accompany
ing market shortage. 1t means that
In short the very agency that is fur
nishing free the publicity SO vital to
the nations preparedness is to be
made the first victim.
That is just how much the war de-
partment appreciates the free publicity
OF the newspapers. And while we are
on the subject we might as we'll re-
mind our people that the only thing
the newspapers have to sell is it's
space. The government demands that
free as a right. 1t pays well for its
ammunition, its supplies of the
money borrowed.-Great Falls Leader.
