Talk of the TOM,
Outdoor Sports
AXE Place Of Gym.

BY giving credit In gymnasium
classes for hikes and other outdoor
exercise, Miss Ina E. Giddings, ply
steal director for women, has increased
the enrolment in her department and
reduced the number Of cuts" Ordi-
narily Miss Giddings is buster than a
draft board listening to appeals for ex-
emption from gymnasium duty. But
now that outdoor sports take the place
of indoor exercise to some extent, the
co-eds are going after gym credits
without demur.
1t is believed that by giving credit
for outdoor exercise the State Uni.
versity can develop an outdoor tradi-
ton such as prevails at some eastern
colleges. On snowshoes and skis. or
merely plodding through the snow. the
outing clubs Of some larger univer-
sites gets lots of fun out of winter.
Skating, tobboganing. skiing, hiking
these are the winter amusements OF
the students. They come to climax
in n great mid winter carnival.
Here the opportunity for such sport
is unusually good. Fine hiking trails
lead into the hills in all directions
within easy reach Of the campus. The
goods. who are taking to hiking. may
establish a winter sports tradition on
the campus.

KEEP THE GOOD CUSTOMS.

The abandonment of the big
official receptions and dinners at
the White House is taken as cue
in some communities for cutting
out all social functions in war
time. We do not think thai the
president planned to set an ex-
ample of that length. Always,
there have been four or five I'M
portant official dinners each Win
ter al the White House, with from
twenty to fifty guests. We think
that the president and Mrs. Will
son in curtailing these affairs
were thinking rather of setting
an example for simple and UNI
oshntatious living and in con-
serving the things that are need
ed to win the war.
TO eliminate eXtravagant social
activities is certainly wise, and
The movement in general is good,
If carried too far, we soon
would find that we would be liv-
ing too closely within ourselves
and that would be bad. OF all
times. this is one in which we
should hold close and cultivate
ithc bonds of fellowship. We
should learn to know one another
better. Our lives arc bound to
one purpose just now, that Of saw
ing ourselves and our property
from destruction by an enemy
power. We will work closer and
more effectively TO that end, if
We observe such social. simple
customs as We have enjoyed
heretofore and which are good
| for Us.

RED MAN GROWS RICH,

The recent contributions made by
the Indians'to the second Liberty loan
has drawn attention to the large sums
held by Uncle Sam for his Indian
wards. There are several thousand In
dian bank depositors in the United
States, with total deposits of more than
Sls,0o0,o00. Something in excess Vt
$i.oo0,ooo is on deposit for various
tribes. The combined sum is held by
725 banks. scattered through Is states.
And the increase for last year alone
amounted to $2.00O.O0O.
The bureau of Indian affairs in
Washington has supervision over all
this business, and it is the proud claim
OF the bureau that no red man has lost
a single dollar of the money handled
for him.

Look Out, Kaiser,
for This Man,

Kaiser Wilhelm. who is reputed to
be Il rather cautious bird, had best
look out for {, western Montana man
who writes with pale gray ink on
heavy unmarked paper. That man
has something up his sleeve for the
German emperor. He has written an
anonymous reply to The Missoulian's
query: What Would You Do to the
Kaiser?" Here it is:
What would / do with the kaiser?
II would make him a man without
a. country To make his punishment
the more severe, I would remove his
stimulants one at a time and make him
eat to live instead Of living to cat, SO
as to bring him to a normal physical
condition, lengthen his years and in
crease the intensity Of his mental suf-
fering.'

Woman Behind the Man
Iottic c. Van perveer in leslje's,

ies--I grant they're the u. S. Army
Standing there three in u row:
The man in the garb of the workshop.
The soldier, the man with the hoe,
And ! wouldn't belittie their service
All part of n splendid plan
But ! want you to think a moment
or the woman behind the man,
War All. the word strikes terror
To the heart OF womankind.
1t hasn't a place in her scheme of life,
Nor chord OF response in her mind.
But look-she has squared her shoul
ders.
1T has come---l must do what I can"
And she finds her work--did she ever
shirk?
This woman behind the man?
Not in the line of battle
Is that tho one place for the brave ?
But just in back In the hospital shack,
Who has measured the service she
gave
Tiroloss, sloepless, unfalterng.
Never needing the risk she ran,
strength she spont-strength she gave:
hers a passion to save.
This woman behind the man.
And back in the homes they are loav-
ing
These boys fired with patriots zeal
Linked so close to her life--swccthcart,
mother or wife
Can she answer the great appeal:
All! What of the tireless sewers,
of the knitting needles that fly,
OF the thought and the care, food to
save and to spare?
This is her mute reply.
Paint us another picture.
Artist with thoushtfut brow
Put them all three in the front-but
That she has a place there now.
The soldier boy-how we love him.
The farmer, the workingman--
Eut isn't there space-just some mod :

For the woman behind the man?

The Way Germany Sees

German leaders are indulging in
much senseless prattling about ulti-

from the lips, and is intended solely
to blind tho non combatant clements
Of the population. In their hearts,
these leaders know that the victory
about which they hahhle is impossible
in this war. Germany cannot win,
and the leaders know it. Therefore.

MONDAY, JANUARY q, 1918.
TIME FOR A CHANGE.

We put this query. Does not
the conduct of the war suggest
the wisdom Of trying a business
man for president of this Amer
lean republic? And is it not timo
to begin to look for him?
We have had lawyers, judges,
generals and college presidents
as candidates and, as in the cases
Of Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt,
men who have not been distin-
guished in. any particular voca-
ton but might be vaguely CLASH
fled as men Of public affairs.
Some Of them worried along nice
~ because nothing happened.
Now we have a war on our hands.
This war is business job and
g q big one. Ships, food, coal,
and transportation are vital clc-
ments in its success. Surely, the
masters for these are not law
yers, editors, statesmen. Yet,
there is not business man in the
cabinet while those in the service
Of the administration are re-
.stricted by authority to the extent
that their value is greatly limited.
The appalling collapse Of the
coal administration under the
college president, DR.. Garfield,
gives added emphasis to this sug-
gestion.
After the war, the problems of
this country will be essentially
those Of q business character for
a very considerable period. The
extension OF our commerce, our
part in the rehabilitation of Eu-
rope, the readjustment OF trade
relations, wages and production,
all these may be best handled by
q master business executive.
We are aware that some crit
les will argue that such change
would return the people to cx-
ploitation by "big business"
That is exactly what it would pre-
vent. All history shows that tho
sinister forces get control of a
people when the people are de-
moralized, idle, suffering from
the incompctency Of their gov
eminent. We believe that the
strangle hold Of "big business"
on the people Of this country has
been broken forever. We are
equally certain that somewhere
may be found a dozcn--perhaps
nfii6re really big captains Of bus
mess who are also patriots.
Among them, offhand, we might
name Henry Ford. Why should
not both parties begin now to de-
velop leaders from that class?
We shudder to think what would
have become of us, if Champ
Clark had been elected president,
and yet the danger of another
Champ Clark is always before us.
The country is in a mess. There
is no getting away from that. Let
us find a strong hand to pull us
out and to keep us out.

SKOUP FOOD H0ARDER
contraband-Stsff Found Hidden In
MilIionaire's Garage and Grand
Jury Will Probe.

United States District Attorney
Harry B. Tedrow ill submit evidence
to the grand jury tending to show that
Oliver Ii. Shoup, running for governor
on the Republican ticket, is guilty of
food boarding. The grand jury will
convene in Denver on November II.
Rowland X. Goddard, United States
secret service operative. and Martin
Logstad, Colorado Springs city detec-
tive, went to Shoup's garage on July
"a last and there discovered 1000
pounds of wheat flour and 100 pounds
Of sugar They also ascertained that
Shoup, few days before. had g.
moved an additional 1000 pounds Of
sugar to gingerale manufacturing
plant in which he is interested.
Shoup says he reported having the
sugar and flour in his possession, but
Tedrow insists that reporting" does
not absolve the millionaire from the
charge of boarding. The important
fact is that Shoup kept the sugar and
flour in his possession in violation OF
the law.
