THE |. w. W. eLoWUP.

The soap box demagogues and
shouters of treason in the I. w. w.
must now realize that the United
States is at war. Their brief reign OF
terror is about over. There will be
no side revolutions or little wars IN
the rear at least until after the big
Job with Germany is completed. Mean-
while they may froth as they please
concerning the rights of free speech
and free assemblage. All rights that
interfere with preserving the liberty
and democracy of the United states
will be suspended that much is GER
tain.
While the work of the government
in uncovering these hiding places of
treason has been too long delayed. 1t
is evident that, once started. a real
cleanup is to be made.
The news dispatches give fair
idea. we think, of the extent of this
foul conspiracy of the I. w. W. to
cution of the war. Documents
| seized at the various headquarters
of the l. w. W. revealed plans for the
creation Of so-called labor disturb
ances. the burning of crops. opposition
| to the draft law, attempts to curtail
productions necessary for war; and in
short a nation wide move to cripple
the governments activities IN every
| way possible without actually taking
arms.
There must be many thousands of
members of this organization who had
no realization OF the treacherous nature
| of the work planned by their leaders.
| The creed of abolishing the wage sys-
| tenn. reducing the hours of labor and
making all people work on the same
| plane carried some appeal to these I'M
thinking members of the !. w. W.
| Probably there would have been no
| ganda any more than there would have
been with the believers in certain
forms Of religion or in certain schools
/ of economies. ii the leaders of the J.
w. w. in their amazing folly had no,
set out to make a rear end fight on
the government of the United States
OF course, that could not get far. The
serious criticism of the government,
lies in its failure to take action be-
fore. If such fellows as Haywood
Shannon, Campbell and Rowan hat
been rounded up and informed two
months ago, the country would have
been much farther along With it,
preparation for war.
The next step on the part OF thu
government should be quick control o
the situation at Butte so that tn,

Women Not Clustered.

Sir. Miss Rankin frequently speaks
Of herself as "woman's special repre-

quoted as saying. II feel that am

and no fear of the criticism of the
man would impel me to take a chap

question.
If there is one thing more than an
other that alarms me. it Is to be
classed with women alone and with
no men for ballast. Ye Gods! feel

YPREs.

In the salient of Ypres there are not
less than 100000 graves Of allied SOL
diers, sometimes marked by plain
wooden crosses, sometimes obliterated
by the debris of ruined trenches. some-
times hidden In corners of fields. The
ground is forever England; 1t Is also
forever France. When the war Is over
this triangle Of meadow land, with a
ruined city for its base, will be an
enclave Of Belgian soil consecrated as
the holy land of two peoples. 1t will
be for us the most hallowed spot on
earth, for it holds our bravest dust.
and it is a proof and record Of new
spirit.

TO CONVERT WARSHiPS.

One Of the most remarkable develop
ments in this war is reported from
South America, where the government
of Chile is proposing to repair some
of it's old warships and convert them
into cargo boats for the transport of
cereals. coal and other necessaries.
This comes as refreshing reading after
the many instances Of peaceful ad-
juncts Of business, such as steam
tugs. fishing boats, and steam trawlers
being converted into organs Of offense
or defense.-Tit- Bits. London.

Mrs. c. E. Higgins Of Missoula, he will
step out while the stepping is good.
because this contributor Is positive
that before long he will be following

The kaiser must surely be out Of his
mind.
Or he would not be so cruel and
unkind.
If he only knew what he was about
He would SEQ that he had better
step out:
For he really will have to ere very
long,
AS those opposed to him are many

His tricks and bluff are known to the

SO he'll find himself in one big mess:
For nv part I wish he would mend
his way.
Take a back seat and there quietly
stay.
The kindly pope has done his very

For on the kaiser.s promises we can
! not depend
Unless he comes to his senses; a
