Brand of Disloyalty.

Editor MissOuiian: Your editorial
on the futilty of starting new political
organization is timely. and to the
piont, though | think that you might
have gone farther with good effect.
In my opinion, the starting of new
political parties at this time closely
approaches disloyalty. II think that
politics should be completely sub
merged and forgotten while all of us,
join hands and work together to win
this war That JOB certainly is going
to be big enough to require all the CO.
operative aid that we can give. We
must fight together for one purpose
and not divert our energies by squab
bling over politics.
With regard to the Non Partisan
league. there is one thing that l can
not get away from, that is the figures
in North Dakota where they are
strongest and where the party had it's
birth. The people of North Dakota,
as the figures prove, are slackers on
the first Liberty loan, slackers on the
Red Gross, and stood lowest in the list
of states in responding to the call for
volunteers. II that is the best showing
the Non Partisan league can make IN
the only state in which they have full
control, then | don't think that their
movement should be encouraged by the
loyal citizens of Montana.

UNJUST TO RUSSIA

\ fair, albeit somewhat violent ex-
titude toward Russia is found in the
following editorial paragraph from the
Miles City Journal: In short, these
Russians, probably the majority, hav-
ing gained their liberty through Il war
in which they would have been brought
under German control had it not been
for France and England have resolved
to curl up in a corner like Il yellow
dog and go TO Sleep
The author of that paragraph is in
excusably ignorant not only of the
present situation in Russia but per-
versely blind to the heroic and tragic
fighting which marked the beginning
of this great war. From the outset the
Russian soldiers fought alone. they
did not have the moral support Of
companionship with their allies. From
almost the first battle they knew they
were being tricked and neglected by
their officers and government; they
were unshod, ragged and hungry, they
had no hospital equipment no ade
quate artillery and thousands of them
had no rifles. In the lakes region of
the western wing whole regiments
were armed only with clubs. Against
mahines of the war. the most devilish
appliances for taking human life and
an army of well-fed men raised to the
highest degree of efficiency through
training and organization.
But in the Mazurian swamps and on
the snow clad Carpathians they fought
with equal heroism; individually and
collectively they exhibited the greatest
courage. They stormed positions heav-
lily fortified and carried them by sheer
weight of numbers leaving half a mil
lion dead before they finally cast their
bodies upon the rows of glittering
bayonets. They defeated the enemy.
crossed the mountains and We're well
on the plains of Hungary when their
ammunition supply ceased and they
were compelled to retreat, victorious,
but beaten by traitors in their own
government.
No people in all history ever fought
more braveiy or against greater odds
than the Russians. No people were
ever deceived so cruelty or so wanton-
ly butchered. 1t is not surprising that
they have grown weary OF the sacri-
flee and refuse again to return to the
slaughter pen. 1t is not possible to
believe that Americans would do
otherwise under similar circumstances
Cheated. robbed, neglected. betrayed
the Russians fought on 50 long as
there was Il tangible government be-
hind them. But with chaos at home
it was not humanity possible that order
should continue at the front. They
may be ignorant, stupid. sodden: but
no intelligent man can truthfully call
them Roundup Tribune.

that the former policy of the railroads

WHO Is RED FOX.

We have waited in vain for
light on a mystery Of lmpene-
trable depths.
Last summer we learned from
Il Chicago newspaper that Red
Fox, a high chief of the Black
feet of Montana had offered to
raise 10000 Indian troops to fight
i'll France. AT that time we made
casual inquiries as to this red
blooded and stalwart American,
but with no satisfactory results.
We dismissed the subject with
The thought that Red Fox was
eamonflagr for press work of the
Pawnee Bill show on tie lake
front of Chicago.
Recently we learned that Red
Fox addressed n meeting of Meth
udiSt ministers in Chicago in
these words:
"The present war Is the most
striking Illustration of the fntility
Of the present form OF civilization
and proves beyond all doubt that
all scientific attainments, our ar
tistic and philosophical achieve
ments, have failed tn civilize men.
The perfected system of education
and world wide eminence in music.
literature and science have utterly
failed to advance the Europeans
one step toward true civilization.
An Indian cannot vote in America
and is not permitted to support its
democracy even if he would"
We ar" concerned with the
identity, rather than the phiroSo-
ply Of Red Fox. The blue book
of the BIarkfccl reveals nothing.
His name does not appear in the
records of the historical or phil
osOphlcal societies Of Montana,
We have before MS the list of all
boy orators from Tongue River ia
Medicine Creek, but the name OF
Red Fox is not among them.
Who, then, is this Red Fox who
deplores his inability to support
democracy because his skin is
red. If he is as canny as his
name, he will return to Montana
to lift US to his intellectual level.

As we look about us it would
seem that our least worry should
be a fuel famine. Within a few

great forests, but on the ground
there is enough dead wood to

may be. There, certainly. is a

anticipate, although it may easily
occur. 1t seems to Us that the price
of cordwood is much too high,
considering the supply and the
proximity Of it. We think that
the chamber of commerce will do
we'll to bring in the wood without
waiting for coal or car short

with Mr.. Lynch on that PROPOSE

Democratic administration will
conduct the war in Il way that
will be unsatisfactory and result
in important changes. but as to
the issue of the war itself and the
necessity Of fighting it through.
there can be no two sides among
clear thinking, patriotic and reso-

ever a danger exists OF the cleo

that all good citizens. whether

unite to defeat such candidates.
Great care should be taken in
the choice Of men who will stand
firm and not promise one thing
and vote another after the elec-
lion. The municipal elections

elements will be very busy in the
next campaign and will be quick
to take advantage Of all mistakes
