HELP THESE MEN.

The cooks and walters III Mis-
SCUBA who are giving their spare
moments to the detection of vlo-
lations of the food law in the
restaurants gre doing most
worthy work and should have the
heartiest support of all good citi-
zens, as well as of the. officers
of the law. This work is not
pleasant. since it adds to the enc
mics OF these men, but it
is very important and is a
credit to the patriotism of the
men engaged. 4 restaurant pro-
prietor who violates this law
should be punished heavily. The
violation is serious enough in the
households where detection is
difficult. In the restaurant, il
means that loyalty is entirely
secondary to the greed Of the
proprietors. We hope there will
be a cleanup of this form of dis
loyalty in Missonla.

MEDY.L MCCORMICK.

We are much Interested in the
candidacy of Medill Mccormick
Of Illinois for a seat in the Unit
cd States senate. He stands for
high things in a state that has
heretofore been far too indiffer-
cnt to the importance Of electing
its worthiest citizens to office.
Mr.. Mccormick qualities for the
post of senator by inheritance, as
we'll as in character and abil-
|ay. His grandfather was Joseph
MedlU, one Of the founders Of the
Republican party, as We'll as OF
the Chicago Tribune, which, for
generations, has had q greater
Influence in fixing the policies OF
that party than any other news
paper.
Mr.. Mccormick is a candidate to
succeed Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, whose service to his state
have been so negligible as to be
scarcely worthy OF record. and
whose reelection is beyond the
realm of possibility. unless the
voters of Illinois go crazy in the
interval.
Mr.. Mccormick will hayc &
fight on his hands in The event OF
the candidacy of Former Govern

whose appeal will reach to the

TONlCHT's SCHOOL MEETING.

Please cancel all dates that may
interfere with attendance at the
meeting at the Roosevelt school
this evening to discuss candi-
dates for the next school board
Two trustees are to be chosen
and it is important to have the
best sort. The purpose of to
nights meeting is to start the
ball rolling in the right direction.
Every iight-m' ,lded man ana
woman who thinks OF the welfare
OF the schools above petty politics
and personalities must under
stand the qualifications of an ef-
ficient school trustee. First OF
all. we want candidates who are
progressive. Educational meth
DDS are in constant change. Our
schools must Keep The pace fixed
by educators whose value has
been determined. There must be
ne backsliding. Let US look with
one eye toward the welfare OF our
children and choose candidates
who are broad minded and above
the influence of cliques or classes,
We think one Of these candi-
dates should be a really progress
sive woman. Just as the interests
Of the parents are concerned with
the children, so should a live
interest be directed toward the
schools. The mothers to whom
this matter Is very close will FIND
] a woman trustee sympathetic
with them. .

ton Of having good schools

Editor, Missoulan:
Sir: AS a matter of fairness and in
justice to our county commissioners
permit me to make reply to an article
in your issue of March 49, concerning
the division of school district No %.
The question was on an appeal from
the ruling of the county superintend-
ent. who had ruled adversely on the
petition. Both sides were present and
presented their evidence and no re-
striction was made to the kind, amount
or character of the evidence produced
There was no controversy as to the
legal rights of the petitioners to have
the' anew district formed. The fact is
there We're two questions: Is it for the
best interests of the petitioners and will
the division be a serious detrment to
the remainder of the district. From
the evidence the commissioners found
! in favor of the petitioners.
/ Should our commissioners now be
accused of being biased and that out
| side influence was used and received
| that caused the decision?
To say that our county commission
lers rendered a biased decision in this
4 hatNSi ana titdt IL "dS III uDpul
by Outside influences is not just nor
| right and the writer hereof does not
4 believe that this feeling exists in the
i minds of any of the representative citi-
zens who attended the So called meet
ing at Roman from all parts of the res
| arvation. To have said that a judge
| If our district courts rendered a biased
opinion and one brought about by out
side influence would subject that per-
son to trial for contempt of court
md if found guilty could be fined and
imprisoned.
The commissioners in this matter
acted in the same capacity as our
Judges and were governed by the laws
If the state of Montana and their oaths
Of office.
From the article; :" The sentiment
freely expressed here isto the effect that
Roman is not getting affair and square
ieal" People feel that this i'm
portant part of Missoulas county should
be entitled to an unbiased hearing on
the merits of the case and that no out
side influences should be allowed to
affect decisions" These Expressions
are susceptible of but one meaning, and
that is that the commissioners are
crooked and can be and were influ
enced,s either by money or politics.
1t appears to- the writer that the ar
ticle SO written was slanderous and
malicious and that the school trustees
of District No. % should in all lair
ness to the commissioners present
some proof that the opinion was baked
and brought about by some outside in
fiuences or that the article docs not
express the sentiment of the board.
Either clear or convict the county com
missioncrs of this slanderons charge.

DELIVERY OF SECOND
 LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Information received by Lieut.. Faust, from the Seattle Banks state that there will be considerable delay. perhaps five or six months yet, before registered bonds can be delivered. However. coupon bonds in lieu there of can be delivered at once.
 Anyone who subscribed for regis tered bonds and desire coupon bonds, should inform Lieut.. Faust at once, in order that the change may be eff fected. However. it should be born in mind that the transmission of coupon bonds is uncertain and risky, as they are payable to bearer the same as paper money. Therefore subscribers at isolated points, in order to be safe, should subscribe only for registered bonds. on which the name of the own CT is written, and is protection against loss or theft.
