ing may come a new world better and
safer to live in.
The world over, government own
ership of public utilities is being tried
out. In the United States the rail-
roads have been turned over to the
Government. This is our first big trial
at one form of practical socialism; if
it succeeds the movement will be car
ried in other directions.
Women are entering industry in
numbers before unheard of. They are
being tried out in menial as well as
executive tasks and have not been
found wanting. Whether this new
found work is for their ultimate good
or evil is yet to be seen.
Democracy in America is in the cru
chile. Most of our measures are in
stigated from the bottom up, not from
pressure above down, and the outcome
of our voluntary food conservation will
be in some measure indicative of the
success of democratic methods.

FOUR TERM SCHOOL A SUCCESS
University OF Montana Finds All-Year
Attendance Profitable.

The beginning Of the spring quar-
ter at the state University of Montana
demonstrates the success of the quar-
ter system as compared with the for
mer semester system, the former plan
having been this year adopted by the
institution. The design of the system
was to make it possible, especially
under the peculiar conditions Of war
times, for students to complete by in
tensive work the required courses OF
their curriculum in a shorter time.
There were many students in the uni
versity this year whose attendance
would have been impossible under the
operation of the semester plan, who
were able to spend two quarters and
earn the credits assigned to the re-
quired portion of their outlined work.
While there are some Withdrawals
at the end of the second quarter, these
were, in the main, only those which
had been expected and which come
under the classification mentioned.
The enrolment figures at the state
university have been a surprise this
year, the registration for the third
quarter brings the total for the year,
up to date, almost to the figure of
last year, which was the greatest ever
recorded in the history of the institu-
ton. It is expected that the usual
spring registration will bring the
years total practically to the record
figures of last year.

HOLT FOR THE TORIES

The United States Senate by decisive
vote has pronounced against universe
compulsory military training at tht
nresent time. This doubtless ends the
matter for this Congress as the House
is even more strongly opposed thar
the Senate to Europeanizing the Unit
ed States.
The propaganda for this un-Ameri'
can system has rich, powerful and moi
altogether disinterested sponsors, ano
the measure may be expected to come
M again for consideration. Certain
leagues and societies have this as their
excuse for existence. They employ
EXPENSIVE secretaries, maintain costly
headquarters, distribute tons of litera-
ture, and subsidize travelling lecturers.
A considerable number of patriotic
men and women anxious to do some
thing for their country have unthink-
ingly Joined these organizations.
To these patriots and their leaders
it has MT been sufficient to urge the
untimelyness of the propaganda. True,
it would hamper the War Department
and seriously impede the sending OF
troops and food to France; 1t would
interfere with the supply of army mu-
nitions and equipment, and would
place additional burden upon the
transportation facilities and resources
of the United States. Even such obvi-
Gus objections as these have not pre-
vented the over Jealous advocates OF
an enactment of Universal Compul-
sorry Military Training System from
loud and insistent demands upon Con-
gress.
The incongruity of the struggle for
democracy, of a war to end wars, with
the establishment of a permanent un-
democratic war scheme does not seem
to be Giscerned by the militarists. To
settle such a policy upon the United
States at the present time, would be
nothing else than criminal, from any
point of view. Economically it would
help to lose not win the war, and if
the war were won despite it, the es-
tablished system would make the war
less worth the winning.
The scheme in its present form, and
at this time, is the darling project of
Toryism. 1t should stay defeated un-
til the war is won, and then be con-
sidered in the light of the then tri-
umphant liberalism.

A FIGHT TO THE FINISH

This war for world democracy is no
to be won by agreement, by negotfa'
tion or by a German collapse; the
Allied armies must beat the enemy
must drive him back out of France
out of Belgium and back into his OWL
country. After the treaty with Rus
sia, Rumania and the Ukraine, the
Central Powers can no longer pretend
to fight a defensive war. They are
fighting a war of conquest, war oi
world conquest.
We are celebrating the first ami
versary of Americas entrance into the
war. America depended on law an6
order on the high seas to carry on its
commerce and it could not be neutral
on the submarine question. If we had
tried to remain neutral, communica'
ton between our land and Europe
would have been cut, and the allied
nations deprived of necessities. Amer.
lea would then have had the choice oi
fighting Germany single-handed oil
submitting to her rule. Our inter.
vention has so far prevented the sub.
marine from gaining a victory fol
Germany.
Through our Intervention a world
organization may result which will
guarantee political security and regu.
late commerce by international rules
Wilson's war propaganda is just the
reverse of the kaiser's. The Central
Powers have inflicted terms OF
peace on their eastern neighbors
which allow Germany to keep a heavy
hand on all domestic affairs and
which can survive only by aid OF a
military system. President Wilson
on the other hand, is working 10 modi-
fy those parts of the Allied program
which tend toward future military
preparation. The American influence
has been steady and powerful and has
shown that Americans do not love wal
but they love peace enough to fight
for it. Having decided to fight for
peace and for world democracy, they
do not want peace until they know
1t is real peace and not a mere recess
from war.

FLIES CAN BE CONTROLLED
Destruction of Breeding Places VIII
Eliminate Them,


Control of the house fly consists in
destruction of its breeding places.
The house fly usually breeds in manure
although as second choice it may fire.
quent any sort of decaying vegetation.
The flies which are found in any COM
munity are usually bred within that
community. The flies which become
so troublesome around the average
farm homestead usually originate on
the premises, because, under ordinary
conditions, flies will not travel more
than a mile.
Fortunately, control of house flies
comedies with the most economical
way of handling manure. If the ma
nure is applied to the field Immediate
ly, 1t will not become the breeding
place for flies.
Extension Circular 16 of the Uniyer-
culture gives full directions for con-
trolling flies. Copies may be had free
of charge by application to the College
Of Agriculture.

Daily Food Hint

Potatoes and onions are given to
sprouting this time of the year. This
does not make them unwholesome but
tends to weaken their flavor. The
onion shoots may te cut of and used
to flavor soups and stews, then the
rest of the onion used as usual. The
old potatoes should be pared and soak
ed for half and hour in cold water,
which tends to make them firmer. Old
carrots require long boiling to make
them tender, therefore should be cut
in strips or sliced before cooking.
