u. S. MAY SEND COMMISSION TO
ASSIST RUSSIA.
Washington, April 16-The United
States has ''in contemplation" send
ing a commission to Russia to offer
assistance, and probably" will send
other commissions to the other allied
countries, it was officially announced
at the state department.
Thus far the plans have not taken
shape.
But they are in such form that it
can be said they contemplate extend
ing to Russia American aid in re-Or-
ganizing the industries and assisting
in making American-RUssian coop
Grafton so fOrceful that a separate
German-Russian peace will be out Of
the question.
If Russia chooses she could, have
American help in re-shaping her gov
eminent along republican lines,
though that idea does not actuate
the proposed sending Of the commits
sion.
Similar commissions will be sent
to Italy, England, France and per
haps Japan.
Russia's needs, however, is recog-
nized as the most pressing now be-
fore the warning nations.
Her industries are crippled; her
transportation system is disrupted
and inadequate; and she has literally
millions Of-men in army service that
cannot>be supplied and modified as
a real fighting factor.
The commissions task would be to
vitalize all these factors.

Whatever the outcome Of the strike
Missoula is not going to starve. Local
wholesalers say that the warehouses
have been filled in preparation for
such an event and that it will be some
time before the food supply is ex-
hausted. This applies to foodstuffs
shipped in from the outside. Western
Montana produces practically enough
to feed itself as outside shipments will
be stopped and it will be possible to
divert all of this produce to the home
market. Local grocers insist that the
price of groceries will not be raised on
account of the trouble.

Forest Service Expert Comes
to Missoula Offices
From Wisconsin.

That something definite will be done
towards the establishment OF a pulp
and paper mill near Kalispelf in the
near future seems assured. A number
of paper manufacturers have made in
quiries of local forestry officials re-
garding possibilities for the successful
operation of u mill in the Flathead re-
gion and two or three companies have
sent men out to look over the field. G.
Snow, representative of the Glacier
Park Pulp Manufacturing company of
Minneapolis, was in Missoula some
weeks ago, and spent two weeks here
going over the pulp prospects from all
sides Yesterday Mr.. Snow seturned.
and it seems certain that the company
which he represents has definitely de-
cided to extend its operations to the
Flathead territory.

Surface will analyze the pulp chances
in the national forests and will also

termining stump prices for pulp ma
terial and on working out definite

1t is thought that if the Glacier

plant. it will be built somewhere on
the shore Of Flathead lake, as the most
promising pulp chance in western
Montana is on the F'lathead forest, and
it is known tnac several other man.

Dear Sir:-I want to congratulate
you and the people Of Greenwood on the
general character and success OF The
Daily Commonwealth. When it was
announced that a Daily for Green
wood was to be launched, in common
with many Others, an ambitious ex-
cuse from q proud little city was look
ed for, more than anything else. Few
believed that the town, as ambitious,
prosperous, and solid as it is, could
or would really support as solid and
substantial a daily paper as you are
publishing. geographically, editor
tally, in local and general news. and
in high class, interesting advertising,
it ranks right along with the dai)ies
Of cities numbering thirty and forty
thousand inhabitants. One is able
to subscribe for it for what it is worth
mot merely or even partially as a
feeling of local pride or duty. 1t is the
best single advertisement the city Of
Greenwood has. A SUBSCRIBER.

HAVE WE A DOUBLE STANDARD?

One OF the most mcOmpreneISlDle ledCuIes VI
American life is the strange conception which
many people have of what should constitute public
honesty. Public funds are looked upon as some
thing in the nature Of spoils, the rightful prop
erty of him who is shrewd enough to annex them.
Now we have no reference here to the public
official who resorts to the very crude e~xpedient
of defaulting. He is a bungler and deserves all
the punishment possible to infict upon him.
Rather, we refer to the amazing system OF
graft that is so openly and d~e6antly p~racticed in
almost every community in the land, and that by
people who would be quick to resent and slightest
question of their probity.
Take, for instance Mr.. Jones, Ia purely tictl-
tious personage.) He is one Of the most substan'
ltia] men of his town. His word has always been
as good as a bond. No hint of crooked business
methods has ever been breathed against him.. He
is regarded as scrupulously honest and above
board in all his dealings.
But. Mr.. Jones is elected to some office wherein
he has the custody of the peoples money-that
lis, the spending Of it.
Now what do you see? Why, the sickening
spectacle of an hitherto honest man grating" on
the public. Deals are made that he would not TOR
one moment have considered in his capacity as a
private citizen. And it is noticeable that they
all tend to his own or his friends advantage. 1t
is a bite here and a nibble there, until in the long
run he has consumed many loaves in excess of
what was his legitimate portion. And the strange
part of the circumstance is that Jones would indig-
nantly resent any reflection on his integrity.
Now, why was Mr.. Jones not just as scrupu-
lous in his public acts as in his private dealings?
Is it possible that we American people have a dou-
bic standard of honesty as well as morality? Is
it wrong to fitch from one and right to fitch from
the many?
And another strange feature of the case is that
!, that Mr.. Jones is as highly respected after he re-
! tires from office as he was before he assumed it.
!. We submit that Mr.. Jones was and is essentially
an honest man, but with a wrong perspective. He
lis, unfortunately, possessed Of that all too COM
E mon idea that the public is a COW, and should be
{ well MIXED in order that she may not dry up.
3 We should change our perspective. We should
r require as scrupulous honesty in public as in pri-
lvate life. The funds Of a commonwealth are just
as sacred as are those Of a customer, or q client,
!, or a ward, and should be so considered. It should
} be just as reprehensible to allow 'leaks" in public
} business as in private affairs; just as wrong to
: graft from an individual as from the public.
, There is but one standard Of honesty, and that
DISHONESTY.
