 Broad back, brown handed,
 Upright as our pines,
 And by the scale of hemispheres
 He has shaped our designs"
 To-day the throbbing heart of the people of Arkansas should together beat in unison with our great presi- dent. as he enters upon his Herculean task. Lines of thought and care have been engraven on his face, by the hand of time, for the powers that have been delegated to him were not calculated to leave the stern calmness of his face unchanged. Yet the elements are so mixed in him that all nature may say Here is a man.
 Under his fearless leadership, our ship of state today starts upon a new voyage of four years. The seas are perilous, but the captain is at his post. Shoals appear, but the hand that has guided America thus far will continue to guide. War may come. but if it comes the people who have pledged their faith to this great leader will stand ready to protect American insti tutions. The crew of the common people will not fail him. They love him, and they love the Democratic Arine that is ever in co-partnershlp tith all liberty lovers. s'Ifshggest that some resolution o: mark of our confidence in President Wilson be exercised by the Forfy-first general assembly, for I believe that we will all unite today in the wish Cod bless and preserve Woodrow Wilson for higher service and a greater national destiny.'
 Speaker Cazort, who was on the floor at the time, moved that the mes sage be endorsed by the house, and an enrolled copy of it forwarded to the president. MT. French of Poinsett, one of the three Republican members, seconded the motion, and it's adoption vas followed by the house standing asa body and giving three cheers for the president, led by MT.

Our contemporary, the Great
Falls Tribune, in criticising the
mayor Of Missoula for his meth
DDS in making the goodbye 10
our soldiers d clean and decent
affair, and one to be remembered
with pleasure. remarks that it is
rather difficult to comprehend
just what good could be accom-
plished by the closing Of the
saloons for an hour or SO ahead
of the time of departure. III the
new soldiers have made up their
minds that they are going to have
one last souse before they don
the khaki" the Tribune says,
closing the saloons for few
hours will not help matters" In
reply we beg to tell the Tribune
that the closing Of the saloons
through the voluntary co-opera-
ton of the liquor dealers helped
matters great deal. There were
no signs Of drunkenness at all on
the part Of our soldiers at their
last departure, The plan was an
entire success and. so Tar as We
know. there have been no critics
save the one at Great Falls.

FIGHT OR PAY.

There should be loyal support
for HE men and women Of Mis-
soula who are giving their time
to the sale of Liberty bonds.
They are performing 4 patriotic
duty without reward and the least
that our citizens may do is to
subscribe cllcertully and gen
erously to the loan We would
remind them Of the president
summons to duty in these strong
phrases.
Let the response 10 the second
loan be even greater than the first.
and let the amount be SO large
that il will serve as an assurance
Of unequaled support to hearten
the men who are to face the fire
of battle for us. Let the result be
50 impressive and emphatic that 1t
will echo throughout the empire of
our enemy as an index of what
America intends to do to bring this
war to victorious conclusion.
Those who cannot fight with
guns and bullets can send their
dollars to fight for them.
The purchase OF a Liberty bond
is not gift; it is an investment,
secure and profitable, and ii is
absolutely necessary TO the pres
ervatlon Of the country.
Let Missoula county show her
patriotism by an over subscrip-
ton that Will leave a lasting
memory Of duty we'll per-
formed.

We think That The disclosures
Of the far-reaehing cons piracy at
Butte against the government
should be quite sufficient to con-
vince Senator Walsh of the Grim
lnal weakness and impotency in
the office OF the United States
district attorney III that city.
The special agents OF The GOV
eminent have revealed to the
public What most intelligent cit
liens OF Montana knew many
months ago, namely, that there
existed III Butte a group of trait

and antl-conscriptlonists Who al
together We're engaged in the
most damnablc work OF destroy
ing an industry that Wa, abso-
lutelN essential To The govern
nent IN war time.
We have no excuse to offer for
the denagogic and selfish state
and local officials, but the repre-
i sentative Of the Federal admin
lstratlon whose sworn duty
obliged him to uncover these
enemies Of the government, III

WAS United States District At
torneN B. X. Wheeler.
We need not dwell upon Mr..
! Nheeler,s long weeks of IN
activity or his drlyellng apologies
or futile explanations. The truth
is finally coming out, but the I'M
covering was done by agents out
side Of Montana, and the indict-
mcnts We're returned by grand
Jury at Chicago. The conspira-
tors kept busy right under
Ahnelcr's nose. Nothing was
done, and it appears now that
United States District Attorney
Chas. F. Clyne, an able and ag-
sreSsiEe federal prosecutor. had
10 take up the work at Chicago
that B. X. Wheeler should have
done in Butte. As We have re-
peatedly said, and the subject
cannot be over emphasized, Mon
tana has been put to shame
and humiliation by office holders
who have sacrificed duty TO pol
ltlcs, who have been cold 10 the
call Of patriotism, while schem-
ing to use these enemies Of our
country for their own political
ends. They hoped to sneak
through the lines With 4 follow
ing that would keep them in Of
lice, no matter what happened TO
the country. The AIissuullan has
"ndeavnred to show these men to
the public scorn and will con
huue to do So to the end that
their cpwardly purpose may be
utterly defeated.
