GET INTO LINE.

The purposes Of the Missoulo
County Defense society are either
misunderstood or grossly distort-
ed by some people in this COM
munity.
The society was organized to
aid the officers Of the law in
maintaining law and order, to as
sure safety for life and property
and especially, to prevent any
thing like riots or demonstrations
by angry and unreasoning citi-
zcns. 1t is not a secret organize
ton for the suppression of free
speech or the rights of citizens,
acting as individuals or in groups.
It's membership includes male
|citizens from all ranks Of life, and
it is thoroughly representative Of
all interests. Any good American
lis eligible to membership. One
might gather from the tone of
some critics that the society is
another form of the Spanish In
QUESTION and was organized to
Prussianizc Mssoula, whereas, its
only concern is to maintain pub
lie safety.
The Missoula County Defense
society requested the Non-Parii-
san League agitator, Martin, TO re-
frain from speaking at the Forum,
because it feared that his appear
ancc would be followed by a riot.
1t requested the managers of the
Forum to abandon meetings for
the present, because it feared
that their foolish invitation to
Martin would be followed by 9TH
er procedure quite as foolhardy
There were no threats and no
compulsion and their action had
the full approval of The authors
ties.
This work is, of course, a thank
less task, but it is highly ncccs-
sary and it will not be abandoned
because of the criticism of those
who do not use their brains for
thinking.
Missoula is not to be looted and
burned by the !. w. w. Neither
is it to become a stamping ground
for the imported agitators of the
disloyal mountcbank, Townlcy. 1t
is to be kept a loyal American
city. The people who do not like
that sort of town should move to
the interIlmcnt CAMPS.

LAUGHING FIGHTERS.

\ form of psychology not I'M
dcrstood by the Germans is that
the American soldiers laugh
while they fight. Major George
w. Simmons, lately returned from
France, says that it is altogether
new to the Huns, although, as
most of us know, it is more or less
commonly found in contests Of va
riouS kinds in America. II has
been observed by some of us who
have seen boxing contests Of the
gruclling kind. Corbctt was given
to the habit, and we recall having
seen kid" Lavignc, the most Won
dcriul fighter of his weight ever
known, engaged with Joe Wal
colt, a Dragging negro, onc-third
heavier. Luvignr, bleeding. torn
and battered and tired. kept Dor
ing in on his opponent, laughing
constantly, until he landed a
wicked clip under the jaw that
sent the black giant to his
dreams.
Some of our old-timc politicians
may recall that the late Colonel
Wilbur +. Sanders laughed when
he was most angry and most
deadly in his finest and most Wig
|orous use Of the kings English.
Jack Hamlin, the gambler Of Bret
iiartc's fiction, was given to a
low soft laugh, when the 'i5's
were splitting fastest.
We are unable to say whether
this laughter is always an expires
sion Of sheer enjoyment. but GER
tainly it is a good sign. The Huns
Twill learn later that when a Yam
kec laughs on a swift sprint
Through No-Man's Land, he is
dangerous. His laugh is sign
of GOODNESS. courage, irresistible
nerve, and, perhaps, Of satisfac.
!tion in getting into the game al
Iclose quarters with the Huns.

A grand jury investigation,
somewhat bclatcd, but very ncccs-

Talk Of the TO,U,l
Wants Age TO Have
0pportunity 70 Work.

The war Is giving an affirmative
answer to the following poem written
as plea that those who are starting
down the hill OF life be given a chance
to perform some Of the work there 70
tc do.
A Plea for Age.
How oft to age Is work denied.
without excuse or reason:
Though age may we'll be qualified
To do its work in season.
Yet true as we admit this is
To every thoughtful mind,
There comes the thought Of things
amiss,
When work age fails to find.
Fer work there is on every hand,
But note to whom it's given!
| Is it to those whose needs demand?
Perhaps by sorrows driven?
AS age comes on, how Oft we see
! Names stricken from the roll
OF corporations to which ne,
| The aged, once paid toll!
No further use for them have they.
Faithful howe'er they've been.
They're getting Old" they say,
! I'VE need young blood in men,"
Ard so they're left. whate'cr their need,
Left suddenly in fear
Or that which avarice and greed
May bring them, year by year.
Why should not age be given a chance
To do whate'er he can?
Let his labor the world advance!
He's surely fellow mani!
Govern his pay by his real worth!
Let 1t be fairly told!
But do not rule him off the earth
Because he's growing old!!

Bessemer Tigers Meet Local Nine Today for Red
 Cross Benefit

The second game between the Gen. tral High school and the Bessemcr Tigers is scheduled 10 be played this afternoon on Munger field at 1 o'clock. The last game, about two weeks ago, was won by the Central team by the score of 5 to ?. in hotly fought con- test. The Bessemer boys are coming back strong this afternoon to get le- venge
 There has been several features ar ranged for the game this afternoon, among them being the drill of the High school cadets which, no doubt, every one will be glad to see. The High School band will furnish music for the occasion, and the fans who attend the same will be entertained with a little ragtime as q preliminary to the game The teams are about evenly matched, although Central, With Jake Levy in the pitchers box, has slight edge. Levy only missed no-hit game by hair in his last ap- pearance against the Tigers, the only hit of the game from Bessemer standpoint came in the last of the ninth inning, when Central player HitSS- Juuseu IeXaS Ieas ueI.
 Centrals lineup will present few changes due to the failure of some of the players in their studies, but they will present 8 strong lineup bent on bringing back victory from the Tigers. There is nothing Central player would rather do than to lick a Bessc- mer team in any line of sports. Central and Bessemer have been keen rivals for the past three. years, and any fan who has witnessed the football games have no love for one another.
 The tickets are selling fast at the schools and large crowd is expected to attend The gate receipts are to go to the Red Cross and the High Schools Athletic association, which is badly in need, since the fire which destroyed the High School building sometime ago. Fans who anticipate going to the game this afternoon can get there by taking the Owenton-Ers- ley and Tidewater cars. With drill by the battalions of the Central High school and the Ensley High school and music furnished by the excellent band of the High school and a good game of baseball, all for the small price of Is cents, there is no doubt but that u record crowd will attend. The proba- ble lineup of the teams follows;
 Central High School: Griffin, 90, (capt); Reynolds, of; Hahn, IT; j.. Levy D.; Snowden, C.; Mclaughlin, ss. :; Goldstein, 3b.; Buddy, 1b.; Crane, If
 Bessemer High School: Winters, 2b,; Cox. 1b; Skews. If; Harrison, cf.;; Lowry, D.; Johnston, ss.; Merritt 5b, Hawkins, 3b.; Buck, c.
