Now, that the primaries are over,
the voters of the county have ar OPP
p%ortunity to look over the field of
candidates and begin to make their
selections for the November election.
Men and women, who are behind the
boys fighting the damnable Hun on
the western front, should absolutely
assure themselves that every candi-
date for whom they cast a vote, is
100 per cent American. This is nc
time to vote men into office who dc
not place their duty to the govern
ment above everything else. And If
line with this thought we would sug'
gest that they take with a grain Of
salt the political advice handed ou'
by men and newspapers who openly
align themselves with the l. W. w.
and socialistic element of the country

THOUGHT FOR PRO-GERMANS

In Sergeant Hanley's talk at the
Orpheum last Saturday night, he con-
WINGED all who heard him that the
matter of licking the Hun was SIM
ply a question of time. The sergeant
said, in part: "If they couldn't lick
us in 1914, when they had 10 men to
our one on the western front, how
can they do it now, when we are on
an equal footing with them?" For
those who are inclined toward pro-
Germanism, he said: "You can take
all the pro-Germans in this country
and all the pro-Germans in every
other country and stand them up
along with the kaiser's army, ant
then there will not be enough OF then
to stop the allied armies advance

TOMORROW AND TODAY

We hear a good deal about the
world of tomorrow, about "a new So
cial order" and a revolution that will
level all distinctions and equalize all
property rights.
Dreams, idle dreams, the same
dreams that we have been having
ever since the dawn of creation, and
that we shall have as long as man
continues to be a little lower than
the angels.
The age of miracles has passed.
Perfection does not exist outside OF
paradise. Equality is impossible as
long as man is born as he ls-some
strong in muscle and some with more
gray matter than muscular tissue.
The cream will rise to the top.
The world is round, but it is I'M
even. 1t has its hills and dales, its
valleys and its mountains, its seas
and it's deserts. Man, with inequali-
ties like the world he ~inhabits, is Gre
ated only as far as his soul is con-
cerned in Gods image.
In all other respects, each man diff
fers from another, according to hered-
ity and environment. He is what his
ambition, his will, and purpose make
him. 4 beneticent Creator provided
for variety in all things. Trees differ
in height ard foliage, flowers differ
in color and perfume, and some men
are born leaders and others born to
be led.
This is the law of God. No law of
man will change conditions created
by the Infinite. The dreamers, the
faddists, the self-constituted reform
ers, and the up-lifters Chiefly con-
oerned in uplifting themselmes) viii
have plenty to DO to attend to the
world Of today, and leave the worlt
Of tomorrow for future generations
The world Of today has its prob
ems and its cares, its hopes ant
fears. They are all precisely lik'
those men have had from the day

WHY MEN WEAR HATS

Men themselves do not know why
they wear hats. Hats aren't orna-
mental. They do not keep off the
rain. A mans hat is a legacy of ira
dition, brutalized in it's descent from
the age of adornment. Straw hats
are the least awful.
The derby, the iron lid Of common
phraseology, is a tragedy, and the silk
hat is useful only to lend dignity to
men who otherwise might be undig-
nified. This dignity is traditional
rather than real. Bridegrooms, un-
dertakers and members of congress
need all the dignity they can COM
mand. So they keep the silk hat
handy.
Spring, which brings the straw hat,
is welcomed by men, since it removes
the hideous necessity of wearing
other sorts Of hats. The straw hat
rouses a dim memory in the blood of
the days of garlands. 1t may be
worn with a bright band. On the
whole, it makes life a little easier for
those who haven't the courage to go
without hats at all.-Philadelphia
Public Ledger.

PLAY THE GAME SQUARE

"For when the Final Scorer scores
against your name, he will not score
whether you won or lost; but how fair
you played the game.
"The foregoing outlines with I'M
phatic brevity the true and correct
estimate of the character of the man
the manner in which he plays the
game and how much of a spirit OF
fairness he shows in his dealings
with those around him.
"For it matters little that he shall
lose the game just so he has played
it fair; and it is of no use for him to
| win if he shall owe his success in any
way to underhand Methods says
John j. Breen.
| "The good sport who plays the
game fair was ever in demand and
this is especially rue in these crucial
times when not only men but nations
are being taught that people will de-
mand a pledge that the game mus
be played fair at every stage.
"The man who is properly emhuet
with the spirit of fair play will be
generous to all those who are less
fortunate in life's battle. If he be
an executive, or in any position O.
authority, he will be sure to SHOW
marked consideration for the people
under his jurisdiction and care.
''The one who plays the game fai
will never use ris comrades as a step
ping stone, but he will seek to brin.
them along with him in his journe,
on the road to success. 1t is natura
for such maan to share his good for

that they have been instrumental i

YOUR
DOES 1T EXPIRE?
MAXWELL


The articles published by Rev. Max
we'll in the St. Paul Dispatch and
Helena Independent, in which he
exposed the autocratic rule Of Boss
Townley, has undoubtedly set a great
many farmers to thinking. One thing
that may be put down as a certainty
is that the articles have weakened
Townley. Whether it will weaken the
Nonpartisan league or not depends on
what the attitude of some of the in
fluential men in the league will be.
Mr.. Maxwell's shafts were all aimed
at Townley and not at the league. He
stoutly maintained that he had no in
tention of hurting the organization
and his nine articles will go far to-
wards bearing out his statement.
However, his arraignment Of Town.
ley is most severe and one that can
not be ridiculed or jokingly pushed
aside. The arraignment is not only
severe, but it is specific wen to the
minutest detail. The league will eth
er repudiate Townley or go down. So
far no attempt has been made to
deny MaXwells charges. There is
every indication that no such attempt
will be made. The more radical league
papers + indulging in their favor
tie pastime of calling names. But
the wild claim that "big biz" is back
of the Maxwell articles will not an
swer the purpose this time. The
charges are too grave and too specific
for that. No, if no specific denial is
forthcoming there will be a decrease
in the membership unless Townley is
deposed. A few of the radical lead
ers will maintain that to depose
Townley would virtually be to kill
the league. When they make such
remarks they themselves are bring
ing a severe indictment against their
w organization. If their contention
be true, it virtually amounts to an
admission that Townley is the league
and that they are glad of it. In 9th.
er words, they admit the charge Of
autocracy. If a considerable number
OF the influential members take this
attitude, the articles will undoubtedly
hurt the organization. But if they
feel that Maxwell has furnished then
with evidence enough SO that the!
can successfully lead a fight to de
prive Townley of his power, we fai
to see where the articles will hur
the league, even though they hav'
put the skids under Townley.
There has been an attempt mad
to create sentiment against Mr.. Max
well by referring to him as a traitor
Such a charge will not weigh witt
thinking people. True, Maxwell wa
in the employ of the league. He re
ceived a stipulated sun per mont
for his services. Presumably he wa
worth the price the league paid hin

THE DUTY TO REGISTER

THE DUTY TO REGISTER
A person who is qualified to register as a voter, and who
does not register, is a Stacker.
In America, a citizen has a voice in the affairs of his gov
eminent. He cannot, of course. speak directly in those af-
fairs, but he does speak indirectly through his ballot, by his
choice of officers and of principles which the various political
parties advocate.
1t follows, then, if one who enjoys the great privilege of
the franchise is interested in the welfare of this country he
will not neglect either to register for voting, or to vote.
And to possess the right to vote and not be jealous to exer-
else that right is to manifest an Indifference that savors of a
want of patriotism.
Don't be a Stacker. REGISTER AND VOTE.
