A CRYING SHAME.
fB,llings Gasette.)

Billings Gazette.)
When last summer. call was made by the
United States government for volunteers to pro-
tect the Mexican border from the inroads Of Mex
lean bandits. and every indication pointed to war
with that country, August Olin OF Roundup was
among those who responded. He proved himself
loyal resident Of the United States and was will
ing to sacrifice his life II necessary for the
lection of its honor Its traditions and its property
He cared not II he being sent to tropical Mex
leo to perform this service. He braved the dangers
Of disease, and for six months stood guard along
the Rio Grande to render whatever service Gen.
cral Frederick Funston might demand.
Finally n paper truce with Carranza was reached
and the volunteers were ordered home. Olin with
the other members Of the Second Montana. went to
Helena and was given an honorable discharge He
returned to Roundup, expecting to resume his for
mer occupation. This was denied him by labor
agitators because he had served in Uncle Sans
army He sought to earn few dollars by playing
at dance. but this same element, learning his
identity, refused to remain under the same shelter
and this manner broke up the dance
Four years ago. his home was dissolved by his
mothers death and his fathers desertion. Two
young children were thrown upon him for support.
Kind friends cared for them while he was serving
Uncle Sam the border Upon his return he as
sayed to reassume his responsibility but being de-
MED employment. he found it necessary to appeal
to the district court for order to commit his
younger sister and brother to the eeemosynary in
stituton at Twin Bridges until he could find en-
ployment, which was denied him in the Roundup
mines.
What sad commentary on our citizenship which
tolerates such dictation by alleged labor organ
ization. What an incentive it furnishes a man to
offer his life for his country when in return it not
only deprives him OF his former employment. but
also demands that his young brother and sister be
sent to the orphans home.
1t matters not whether those responsible for the
deprivation are members of the I. w. W. the
coal miners uniontheir conduct is despcable and
cannot be justified. What crying shame! What
manner of country is this getting to be when a
man shoulders his musket to protect it that he is
denied ordinary employment upon his return
What manner of employing company is it that
toerates such rank interference with it's opera
tons? What manner OF a union is it that spurns
a man carrying of its cards simply because he
offered to fight for Old Glory?

ST. PATRICk'S DAY.

Today our friends and neighbors of Irish descent
are celebrating st. Patrcks day and everywhere
can be seen the green and gold evidences that the
"auld" saint is not forgotten, and that his kinsmen
are mindful of their duty to his memory. The
custom of honoring the good saint is no longer
fined to the Irish alone. st. Patrick's day seems
to have been more less adopted by all whose
mixture in the great melting pot of the world
makes possible that little strain of the Irish has
mingled with the other nationalites which make
Americans s-Afaybe the custom Of joining with the
Irish in wearing a sprg Of shamrock originally

UNUSUAL SHOW At EMPRESS
ELocuTioMsT IS ADDED
ATTRACTION.

The management Of the Empress is
to be congratulated on the exceptional
program which is being offered at
that popular playhouse for this
change.
The picture offering is a very clever
dramatization Of Rupert Sargent
Hughes celebrated novel. 1.-THE VIM
ming of Sally Temple" the old English
atmosphere is created in the minutest
detail conceivable. and Miss Ward is
supported by cast Of exceptional
merit. needless to say her own char
acterization of the quaint English
heroine is all that could be expected
from this dainty star. who is ever well
come.
In addition to the regular program a
surprise was in store for last night
patrons in none other than Charles H.
offered selections from the we'll known
works of Robert w. Service. the Alas
kan poet, also numbers from the pen
OF Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Last night the numbers rendered
were 1.-THE Shooting OF Dan McCrew''
and the Convention" the latter being
one of Miss Wilcox's sensational de-
nouncements OF existing social condi-
tions. which have been but recently
published in the Cosmopolitan maya :
zine.
Mr.. Eastwood's diction is exception
ally fine and the numbers We're APP
preciated greatly as was shown by the
spontaneous outbursts Of applause at
the end of his every number. Mr..
Eastwood has been retained for today
and promises a complete change OF
repertoire and many of those who
heard him yesterday will undoubtedly
be on hand again today in spite of the
fact that the picture program will be
repeated.
Altogether it is an exceptional show
and the management is to be con-
graduated.

the warlike spirit Of this ebuent nation was even
more than usually inclined to celebrate the day
with real argument.
To the real 1rishmen the tendrils Of affection can
be entirely withdrawn from that little island
with its long-continued strife and poverty. Play
wrights and composers see to it that Ireland and
it's many attributes are kept before the world 1t
is a great tribute to this small nation that it has
achieved the lasting fame it has and that its sons
have become known in every country under the
sun and have exerted powerful influence in shap-
ing the history of the world.
Today it would seem that Ireland is nearer than
ever before to achieving that dream Of every Celt-
self government. For this reason today should be
n more joyous occasion than the st. Patrick's days
which have gone before and every sympathizer
with the Irish nation will have today an additional
reason for emphasizing his regard.

All advance notices point to the
fact that the matinee and evening
shows at the Bijou this coming Sun
day will far eclipse anything ever Of
fered for some time past.
There will be crowds who want to
see the famous Palm Beach beauties
in all their winsome glory. All those
who can are urged to attend the mat
inec for the reason that over hun
dred and fifty people were unable to
gain admission to the evening per-
Torrance last Sunday. That there will
be a rush for seats there will be nc
doubt and therefore n hint to the wise
is sufficient.

at the Bijou theater tonight at and

musical comedies that have appeared
here this season. There are ten girls
in the attraction whose songs and
dances are the latest adaptations Of
the Follies Revue. The performance

tertainment that leaves small chance
for boredom.
The posing features Of the show are
indeed noteworthy, as the interpreta-
tons are taken from the famous paint

seeing the girls in life poses made IA
