HUNG TO RAILWAY TRESTLE.

Butte, Mont, Aug. Frank Little
member of the executive board of the
Industrial Workers of the World and
leader in labor troubles in Arizona
was taken from a lodging house early
today by masked men and hanged to
a railroad trestle on the outskirts of
the city.
The body was cut down at 8 a. m.
by the chief of police, Jerry Murphy,
who identified it. Little, in recent
speech here, referred to United States
troops as "Uncle Sans scabs in uni

AGREE ON CHANGES

Washington, July % The senate
finance committee reached tenta-
tive agreement late today to revise the
present ST. $40 900 war tax bill so as to
raise at least 81 ,943, 0JG 900, the larger
part of the increase to come from high
er income taxes.
Members of the committee said to-
night it is possible the total of the bill
before it gets to the Senate will be 50,
900 900, 600. According to the presant
plan about $3.50 ,Ooo, 900 of the increase
will be obtained through higher income
tax rates $40 900 900 from the indivi-
duals and the rest from corporations.
The committee figured on an increase
in the normal rate on individuals from
two to five per cent and on corporations
to six per cent. The rest of the in.
crease may be obtained by increasing
the excess profits tax and by consump-
tion taxas q angsr. eoffae ana eoea

ROOSEVELT A pEssrMIsT

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, ex-presi-
dent and patriot, has declared again
for permanent policy which would
give the United States a military or
ganization capable of handling an
emergency that might arise after the
present conflict is concluded. Uni
yersal service in time of war and
obligatory training in time Of peace,
for every man and woman in the
the country is the colonel's idea of
efficiency 80 far as the defense Of the
nation is concerned.
Be prepared for an emergency, is q
good and sensible slogan. But Ameri-
ca has entered the present war to rid
the world of a danger caused directly
by the existence of such an organiza-
ton. Germany's military leaders
tell US that they are forced to pro-
vide huge standing army for the
purpose of protecting the country in
case of emergency. 1t is not Ger
many's powerful military establish
ment that is menace to the peace
of the world, but the clique that con-
trolls it. In misuse of the power Gre
ated by the existence Of such force
lies the greatest danger. A gun is
harmless until it reaches th g hands
of a careless man or murderer.
Evidently the colonel is gradually
developing into a real live pessimist.
After declaring that failure to pre-.
pare permanent policy to meet
future crisis was criminal refusal
to provide for the future, he reviews
the accomplishments of America in
the first few months Of the war. We
have done nothing, in the eyes Of the
colonel, that could be regarded as Of,
fective in aiding our allies to win the
war. Our warships constitute only q
ltiny fraction of the British force
while only "fragment" of our .regu.
lar army is in France, and this, with,
out artillery is helpless unless aided
by our allies. No cargo ships for I

year, not enough rifles, officers not
ready and the national guard just be.
ginning to mobilize are few of the
colonel's cheering reminders. II
would appear that Roosevelt is dis
gusted with the whole business since
he was not allowed to take his force
of American volunteers to France
Apparently grave mistake has been
made, for with Roosevelt on the
lighting front America could rest
assured that when bad news came
from points, the colonel would be
delighted, to cable a "Creel' for
the beneht of our spirit.
Roosevelt, in the future, should be
more considerate. What America
needs most Is more unity Of action
and less pessimism. We admit the
colonel is right in his assertions but
our accomplishments will show NO
appreciable Improvement in the next
few months if we only talk. Roose.
velt has never been repnted as a pes
simist, but perhaps the fact that the
mayor of the sixth largest German
city in America was present and
eager to meet him brought on the
outburst. Americas strength Will
be felt soon if we get down to real
business and let the other fellow
worry.

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

The nations allied against Germany
rightfnlly look with concern upon the
growing disatfection among the Rus
sian troops who are continuing their
retreat from points of great stragetic
value in East Galicia. The, situation
is raal'y serious and unless Premier
herensky can devise some method to
OF. restoring unity of action in the
ranks of the Russian armies there is
every indication that the entente
cause will receive q set back that will
cost them dearly in the end.
No doubt the prevailing feeling
among the Russians is that they are
still fighting for the power of a single
man and not for principle. They
have won their liberty and Will se-
cure it, they sincerely believe, no
matter who wins the war. But they
are mistaken. 1t may be years be-
fore they come to full realization of
this fact, but they will in the end.
Russia, in it's present state, would
be an easy and delicious prey for the
German kaiser. No doubt the great
efforts being put forth by the Ger
mans in the east to crush the Russian
armies while they are in a state of
inef1ectiyeness through insubofdin-
alton and desertion, is the first step
in plan to SO cripple her eastern
neighbor as to make continuance of
the struggle, so far as the Russian
government is concerned, an i'm
possibility.
Russia, however, blinded by the
scope of her newly won freedom, is
unable to see the danger. There are
those inside her borders who, through
Inability to see the light, are placing
the country in position from which
she must look elsewhere for support.
A continuation of the present con-
ditlons means that the Russian peo.
pie must return, and at no distant
date, to the yoke of selfish and inhu.
name autocracy. 1t means that in
stead Of q free Russia, the world will
have Russia ruled by monarch
Whose ambition is to have his empire
circle the globe. 1t means also that
America must suffer additional sac
rilices to secure her own freedom in
world so dominated by a single ma
.tsyiii.
In Premier Kerensky apparently
lies the only hope for quick restor-
alton of discipline in the army of
Rnssia. The George Washington of
Russia, however, faces q difficult
task and only partial success in his
great undertaking will mean much to
America and the entente nation.
Lack of morale in the army means
certain defeat-not of an army alone,
but of the purposes for which the
world has arrayed itself against g.
group of states made strong through
the absolute power of ambitious mon
archs. Russia must come back if
victory-is to be won soon or if Russia
herself expects to retain the privi-
leges she has won so easily.

GIVE BOYS PROPER SEND OFF

Members of the local militia, Com
pany A. will be taken away from Pierre
shortly, will probably go to California
fora period of training and from there
will, in all probability, be sent to
France to take part in the great war.
In all probability some of the boys will
never come back to Pierre. They are
going to serve their country, your
country, your state, county and city,
to serve for you and me in fact.
Before they leave we should give
them some fitting reminder of the ap-
probation we have of the sacrifices
they are making. They should not be
permitted to be marched to the train
and hurried out of town without some
public demonstration in their behalf.
1t should be no halfway, half hearted
matter either. 1t should be 4 a demon
stration in which all of the people Of
the city, the relatives and friends and
acqualntances, every one can join.
Preparations for it should not be de-
layed 1t should be taken up at once,
today, There are several organizations
which might attempt it, which might
take the lead, but whatever organiza-
tion does make the move should have
the united support of every other or
ganization and individual in the city.
There is in the city no organization
whose members know better than the
members of the Spanish American War
Veterans how such things are appreci-
ated. They had the experience, COM
paratively recently, of going away
from home to fight for their country J.
Itwould seem fitting. therefore, for
the members of this organization to
take the lead in providing proper
send off. They will find willing ones
in allother organizations to assist them.
But whatever is done must be done
quickly. The order to move may come
any day. These boys are all packed
and ready to go A. few hours after
the order comes they will be gone. 1t
viii be too late to prepare after the or
der is received. Will Pierre people do
the right thing by these boys or not?
