 The sanitaire on duty had a nasty habit of bursting into the rooms and suddenly switching on the lights in order to catch the men at this trick. He always found them apparently sound asleep, and never knew that most of them were holding a lighted cigarette under the covers. The tell tale holes burnt in the bed clothes were what always caused trouble.

MISS RANkIN'S CANDIDACY

had declared existent; 1t called upon
the workers Of all countries to re-
fuse to support their countries in
their wars" branded participation
by the United States in the conflict
"a crime against the people,, and
declared that mo greater dishonor
has ever been forced upon a people
than that which the capitalistic
class is forcing upon this nation
against it's will." "Unyielding oppo-
sition" was urged by states and
nation to all legislation in support
of the war, to war loans, to bond
issues, and to the draft
Such seditious and reasonable
declarations opened the way for
such radical and progressive groups
as were in sympathy with the ma
tional cause to come together and
formulate plan which might en-
able patriotic socialists, s single tax
ers, prohibitionists, and others out
of touch with, and opposed to, the
two great political organizations, to
form an Independent party. The
opportunity was improved, and the
national party was founded upon a
platform that stood unQualifiedly
for the war, conflict which it por-
nounced fundamentally between the
ideals and aspirations of democracy
on the one hand, and the ideals and
aspirat lions OF autocracy on the other
hand"
On such platform radical think
ers could stand. Accepting this
pledge of loyalty to the war aims Of
the nation, many thousands of ad.
vanced thinkers, out of sympathy
with the democratic and republican
parties, no doubt decided to vote the
national ticket in Montana, as in
other states, next November. But to
these people the endorsement prof.
fered and the support promised Miss
Rankin in her effort to obtain what
the republican party, largely for pat
riotic reasons, denied her, will come
as disappointment and shock. No
matter how bravely the managers of
the national party may talk now, or
how enthusiastically they may seem
to predict victory for their standard
bearer in Montana, no risk is run in
saying that neither their confidence
nor their judgment is likely to
awaken sympathetic echo among
the great body of the party.
OF all times, no time could be so
inopportune as the present for the
launching of pacifsm in the United
States, unler any guise, or any ban
ner, or any leadership. Miss Rankin
is a woman of many fine personal
traits, but she is a pacifist, which is
tantamount to saying that her cleo
ton to the United States senate
would cause the fires of hope to blaze
anew throughout the whole pro-Ger-
man world.

AM ANCHOR TO WINDWARD

There used to be a certain prejudice against
bondholders, and discourteous adJechves, OF
which .sbloated'' was most popular, were COM
monty employed in describing them. But no
such odium now attaches to the holder OF gov
eminent securities and purchasers whether OF
one or many bonds are properly acclaimed as
patriots who are working harder than others
or making more sacrifices to help their govern
ment.
While the principal motive of purchasers Is
to do their duty as citizens, the people have
very generally come to realize the advantages
of such investments. For very many 1t means
the beginning Of thrift, the first step towards
economic independence, the nucleus OF fund
which will some day buy house or help to
make comfortable the years when earning
capacity has decreased. Now is the time to be-
gin this if it is every to be achieved. The dit
fused prosperity of France is largely due to the
habit of the people of putting their annual saw
ings into government securities. The wisdom
of this course is coming home to US; and hosts
of families who are buying their first bond now,
or adding another to their holdings undoubt-
edly will make it practice to pick up others
as occasion offers until their savings guarantee
comfort in declining years. Chance has no part
in this investment. There is no possibility OF
losing. One bond or many, the holder IS that
much ahead of the game. He is always better
off with his bond than he would have Eeen With
out it, He has thrown an anchor 80 the wind
ward which will hold securely against what
ever storms the coming years may bring.

Christian Science Monitor: 1t may
be great deal easier for Miss Jean
nette Rankin to adjust herself to the
national party in Montana than II
will be for the national party to re-
concile it's membership to certain OF
Miss Rankin's views. Not long ago
this representative In congress
sought nomination for the senate
through the republican primary in
her state and was defeated by 1,7O0
votes. principally upon the war issue.
When elected to congress, great
things were expected of a woman
who had thus overcome all prece-
dent, and who had already achieved
numerous and notable successes as
an advocate of progressive and cor
receive legislation. She took her
seat at time when the whole nation,
after hoping against hope for more
than two and half years that IN
volvement in the world war might be
averted. had reached the conclusion
that to refrain longer from active
participation in the struggle would
mean the surrender to brute force of
everything priced by democracy.
The nation had not reached this
conclusion over night. 1t was not
due to any flash of emotion. 1t came
with a conviction that had been
growing against the popular will from
the first day of August, 1914, that not
alone national pride, but the welfare
of humanity and the perpetuation of
civilization, now demanded armed
and immediate Intervention in the
conflict no matter what the cost,
what the sacrifice
President Wilson had pursued a
patient policy of watchful waiting
during the months and years in
which the popular opinion of the
country was taking form worthy
of being called the sentiment of a
free and freedom-loving people.
He had not pressed decision upon
the country. He had not been hasty
even toward the end, when minutes
began to count like weeks, and days
like months. He awaited pressure,
rather, from the country, Then he
spoke, the country almost as one
man at his back, and when, after
reading one of the most terrible in
dictments ever returned by one
nation against another, and asked
that war be declared existent be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, Jeanette Rankin faltered.
The national party owes its exist
ence to the fact that the socialist
party, in convention at st. Louis in
the summer of 1915, adopted plat
form with which Miss Rankin's fall
tering attitude would have harmon
ICED. That platform declared "un-
alterable opposition" to the war

IOWA OVER THE TOP.

Philadelphia Evening Bulletin: 1t
used to be said that there was not
d millionaire or a pauper in Iowa.
At present there is about an equal
number of both. 1t is the richest
agricultural state in the union, and
has the greatest average prosperity
using the term in its proper sense.
Iowa was the first state to go over
the top in the last Liberty loan, and
it unofficially exceeded it's quota
last Saturday when the fourth loan
opened.
Iowa's great products are corn and
hogs; its farms are maintained in
the highest state of excellence, and
it's homes, barns and sheds are al
ways well painted. 1t has more auto
mobiles per capita than any other
state, and is always investing its
surplus money. The people. at least
the dominant strain, come largely Of
New England stock, though several
generations removed through migra-
ton to New York and Ohio. Thrift,
love of education, intelligence and
uprightness are characteristics Of
Iowa.
1t is to them that must be ascribed
it's promptness in making it's present
patriotic response. While it has no
large cities, and seemingly cares for
none-although the state has been
in the union for seventy three
years-it Is well developed in the
frugality, comfort and progress of it's
agricultural life: and in sending
more than it's share Of men and
money for the war, it acquires at
this time a peculiarly honorable dis
tinction.

NO PEACE BY NEGOTIATION.

Peace by negotiation is what is sought by
Germany and Austria. Peace by the sword is
the policy Of this government and its allies.
The solid thought of this country is that
peace cannot be considered so long as Germany
and Austria occupy single foot of conquered
territory What undoubtedly will be said to
the enemy viii be in terms heard and accepted
by Bulgaria. surrender.
The struggle will go on, unless the admins
ltration at Washington reverses itself, until the
task of driving the Germans out Of Belgium
and France is completed. When that is ac-
complished, it is safe to say that the Teutonic
allies will grovel in the dust and seek such terms
as were given Bulgaria.
Peace is pleasant thing to discuss, to think
on. But when camouflaged peace speaks while
she at the same time is ready to stab others IN
4 the back, it is well for US to beware
The war will not be until the central
powers either withdraw from Belgium and
France or surrender Internationally.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop eating meat for while if your
Bladder is troubling.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid, which overworks the kidneys
in their effort to filter 1t from the
blood, and they become sort of para.
lyzed and loggy. When your kid.
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the body's URN
Gus waste, else you have backache,
sick headache, dizzy spells; your
stomach sours. tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night
Either consult good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
rnaoist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass
OF water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia,, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.

lar meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive,
