Mrs. Hick, a Maine housewife, is so
painfully neat that she makes life mis-
cradle for her family. One of her
rules is that all members of the house
hold must remove their shoes before
entering the house.
"Bill," she demonstrated one day
with her husband, II found a grease
spot on one of the dining room chairs
and l think it came off those pants
you wear in the shop"
A brief silence ensued, then a vol
canic eruption. "Well, Mirandy, for
the last fifteen years l have taken off
my shoes every time I came into this
house, but I'll be hanged if I'll go
any further"

DEMOCRATIC M

Democratic presumption is the only
asset the Democrats have this cam
paign. Their presumption has sub
merged any real issue that they might
have put forward to recommend them
selves to the voters. Having assumed
to own the war and to WI the gov
eminent in this campaign, they have
presumed to take the stand that they
are the American people.

VOTE AGAINST JEANETTE.

The Valley county voter who gives
his support to Jeanette Rankin is
voting against the interests of the
soldier in the trenches. This state
ment is absolutely true. Miss Ram
kin has been wrong on every PROPOSE
ton pertaining to the war that has
come before congress.
When the women of Bozeman sent
her a Geographic request to vote with
the president on the proposition of the
United States taking its place in the
battle for liberty, she telegraphed
back that if she voted for war she
would practically stand alone in con
gress.
Was she telling the truth when she
sent that telegram? The record is
the answer.
Miss Rankin's friends in Montana
are the anarchists and socialists who
are against the war, against the gov
eminent, and just as nearly the friends
of Germany as they dare be. In this
statement we have reference to such
men as Dunn, of Silver Bow, who is
one of her strongest constituents. and
with whom she fraternizes when she
is in Butte.
Her patriotic talk comes too late.
If she had her way we would have
kept out of the war and the blonde
beasts of Berlin would now have been
feasting in Paris, and the heel of Hin
denburg would have been on the neck
Of that fair France which actually won
for the United States it's right to ex-
list.
She is the female Trotzky of Mon
tana. She means we'll enough in her
heart, no doubt, but her mental feet
do not track. A vote for her is a
vote for chaos. Her election, in the
face of the fact that Montana has sent
40, 900 youths to war and bought $751;
OOO, 900 in bonds, would be a reversal
of u magnificent war record, a re-
pudiation of the boys who have gone
overseas to fight for US, and would
hold Montana up to the scorn and rid
icule of all right thinking people.
Above all things vote against jean
nette Rankin.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

When you vote for United States
senator next Tuesday, vote for your
own interests and the interests of the
farmers of Valley county.
Remember that a Democratic con-
gress blocked the price of wheat,
which otherwise would have been SELL
ing for not less than SD per bushel,
and at the same time allowed the price
of cotton to soar to a figure that has
enriched every little planter south of
Mason and Dixon's line.
Why was this rank injustice done
to the wheat growers of Montana!
Because the south is the strong
hold of Democracy, which elected
Wilson and a majority of the DEM
ocratic congressman.
For voting the Democratic ticket
these cotton growers were rewarded;
for voting the Republican ticket the
wheat growing states of the north
were legislated out of millions of dol
lars that were their rightful due.
How do you feel about such treat
ment, Mr.. Farmer of Valley county ?
Do you approve of the party in pow.
er putting its hand down in your poe
ket and taking the money that you
have worked hard for?
Perhaps you came into Valley coun-
ty and homesteaded. You went out
into the raw prairie and built the
shack which partially sheltered you
| and your loved mes from the wintry
blasts; you broke the virgin sod; you
| fought drouth and bitter cold fol
years, and then, when you had a
chance to make a little of what you
were Justly entitled to, the Democratic
congress fixed the price of your prod
uct and allowed the agriculturists OF
a more favored country to get all that
a cotton market running wild could
bring them.
The cotton growers got theirs-in
gold. You got yours-in the neck.
How do you feel about it? What
are you going to do about it next
Tuesday? Are you going to vote fol-
the reelection of Senator Walsh and
the Democratic congressional candi'
bourbon congressman who have made
dates to strengthen the hands of these
of you wheat growers the agriculture
goats of the century?

THE SWORD"

"The sword!-a name of dread: vet
When upon the freeman's thigh It's,
bound,
While for his altar and his hearth.
While for the land that gave him birth,
The war drums roll, the trumpet
sound
How sacred is it then!
Whenever for the truth and right
It flashes in the van of fight;
Whether in some wild mountain pass.
AS that where fell Leonidas,
Or some sterile plain, and STERN
A Marston or a Bannockburn;
Or midst fierce crags and bursting
rills,
The Switzer's Alps, gray LyroI's hills;
Or, as when sunk the Armada's pride,
1t CLEANS above the stormy tide;-
Still, still, whene'er the battles word
Is liberty,-when men do stand
For justice and their native land
Then heaven bless the sword!

MISS JOHONNOT
FOR SUPERINTENDENT

Miss Nellie Johonnott, who is COM
pe%rintendent of schools, has made a
pleting her first term Al county su-
most enviable record in her admin
~istration of this important office. She
has conducted the office in a most
thorough and businesslike way and
at a minimum of expense to the tax

more than pleased with her work is
evidenced by the fact that no oppon-
cnt has been placed in the field
against her at the coming election.

| ders advance the British have
reached the outskirts of Menin and
pushed to within two miles of
Courtrai. They are thus drawing
the net around Lille from the north
and northeast. In the mean time
the British forces west of Lille are
closing in on that city. Yesterday
they were in the neighborhood of
Haubourdin, which is only two
miles west Of Lille. Further south,
in the direction of Lens, they have
crossed the main western defence
OF the German northern stronghold
the Haute Doule Canal. In this
sector they are gradually envelop-
ing Lille from the south. The AL
lies want to avoid destroying Lille.
The Germans cannot hold it much
longer. They can only aggravate
the appalling reckoning which an
invaded Germany will have to face
by destroying it on evacuation.
In the Laon sector the French, in
pursuit of the Crown Prince of
Prussia's armies, have almost
reached the line of the Serre River,
which flows east into the Disc a
little distance north of La Fere. De-
beney's army, marching northeast,
has cleared the south bank of the
Serre for some distance east of the
Disc. Mangin's army, marching
north, is aiming at Crecy-sur-Serre,
about eleven miles northeast of
Laon. Further east Berthelot's 5
army has passed Sissonne and Gou.
raud's army is across the Aisne at
nearly every point except Rethel.
The Germans had a secondary de-
fence line based on the Serre. But
they are now in no condition to stop
there. They must get back beyond
the line of the Disc, east from Guise,
before the temporary front from
Guise north, behind LIE Cateau to
Valenciennes, is broken by Byng
and Rawlinson.
The way is still clear for the re-
treating Germans. But they cannot
shake themselves free from Foch's
pressure without mourning grievous
losses. Mondays Allied attack in
Flanders netted 10000 prisoners and
200 guns. And on every front the
retiring armies must suffer a SINH
lar wastage.
The Italian forces in Albania have
occupied Durazzo, the former capt.
tai of the preposterous William of
Wied. The Austrians are getting out
of Albania and Serbia at breakneck
speed. They are not asking evacu-
alton terms. They are glad to get
back alive to the Save and the Dan
ube.

Big U-Boat Drive

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 14.-There is
good reason to believe that the Ger
man submarine warfare will reach a
climax during the winter. according
to the "Rhenish Westphalian Ga
zette," which says that it will pro-
duce an economic crisis of unantici-
pated dimensions in Entente coun-
tries.
Speaking in New York Monday,
Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord Of the
British Admiralty, predicted that the
Germans were preparing for final
tremendous submarine drive. The
Allies, he said, were already pre-
pared for the coming campaign.
Secretary Daniels yesterday called
upon American shipbuilders to speed
up their output of destroyers to meet

Military Comment

HISPATCHES from Washing.
ton yesterday gave promi-
nence to reports coming
out of neutral countries that Hin
denburg was the real author Ct the
German appeal for an armistice
These reports merely put belated
emphasis on a fact that was obvious
from the very beginning.
The German truce mannuvre had
a purely military inspiration. The
politicians and the public in Ger
many have been kept in the dark up
to now about the critical conditions
on the Western front. The German
armies have for some time been
manifestly short on munitions and
equipment Ludendorff has been is
suing bulletins camouflaging Ger
man defeats and claiming German
victories. But he knows the day of
German victories is over.
He and Hindenburg are, however,
still the masters of German policy.
They have it in their power to de-
eide how far the comedy Of "democ-
ratizing" the German government
is to be played through. And their
decision will be based solely on mill
tary exigencies. The Radical, Cleri-
cal and Socialist politicians in Ber-
lin are only infants in the art of
revolution. If the army leaders
want to quit, Germany will quit and
the Kaiser will have to quit. The
only democratizing propaganda
which can really get anywhere is the
propaganda which Foch is carrying
on, directed to destruction of the
will of the German military autoc-
racy to take their chances on a hope
less fight to the finish.
Foch's Unconditional surrender
offensive, therefore, increases in
vigor and in results as the season
for fighting draws to a close. In
spite of drenching rains in Flanders,
where it rains harder than in any
other spot in Europe, the Belgian,
French and British armies contin-
ued their drive yesterday in the
Roulers sector The new salient
head, created on Monday, has been
materially widened out. The Bel
gians, who are operating on the left
wing, pushed north yesterday and
captured Thourout. This town lies
eight miles due north of Roulers
and ten miles due east of Dixmude.
1t is strategic point of great
Importance, since it lies at the
apex of an equilateral triangle, one
side Of which runs northeast to
Bruges and the other northwest to
Ostend. From Thourout the Bel
gians can threaten the entire rear
of the German positions on the
North Sea coast. They have only
to advance four or five miles fur
ther to the northeast to bring the
Ghent- -Bruges-O s-Ostend railroad under
fire-the main supply line of the
coast garrisons. But by that time
the Germans will probably have
abandoned the coast and drawn
back to front north from Ghent
to the Holland border.

NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. Is
(By The Associated Press How great
is the Importance attached by the Ger
mans to holding back the Americans is
shown in recent order of General Won
Fifth Army, which has reached Ameri-
can intelligence officers.
"It is on the unconquerable resist
ance Of the Verdun 'front.'" reads the or
der, "that depends the fate of a great
part of the Western front, perhaps even
of our nation. The Fatherland must
rest assured that every commander and
every man realizes the greatness Of his
mission and that he will do his duty to
the very end.
will, as heretofore, break against our
firm will to hold"
With the American army already
across the Kriemhilde positions, it
might be expected that the Germans
will fall back rapidly to their third line
of defence from Stenay to Sedan, but
because of the vital necessity of pre-
venting the Allies from cutting the
lines of communication buefore the
greater part of the German forces are
able to extrlcate themselves, it is as
sumed that they will increase rather
than decrease their resistance.
It is not believed, however, that the
Germans will be able to offer the same
sort of resistance, but, on the other
hand, will adopt a more open form of
warfare, much as they did north of the
river Marine, concentrating here and
there forces in places best suitable for
dealying general advance into
slowly compressed area.
When the British forced their way
through the second defences near Cam
brai, it is pointed out. the Germans rap
idly fell back to their third defenccs,
but the strategical reasons for their
continued resistance in the open at that
part of the sector is not to be COM
pared to those in front of the Ameri-
cans.
Added evidence has been secured that
instead of reducing his opposition the
German commander is continuing to
bring up fresh divisions and to throw
them after those already broken by the
Americans.
General Won der Marwitz explained to
his command in his order that the
Americans were about to attack on the
yerdun front "to try to push toward
Longuyon."
The object of this attack the order
continued, "is to cut the Longuyon-Se-
dan line, the most important artery of
the army of the West. Moreover, it is
the enemy's intention to render it i'm
possible for US to exploit the Briey
Basin, on which depends in large part
our steel productions"
