SUNDAY. JANUARY Is, 1918.
A SANE DECISION.

We ask the farmers to give
heed TO the views of the Society
o. Equity Of the western district
Of Montana, with respect to the
appeal Of the Nom Partisan
league for aid in the coming
campaign.
The Socialist, demagogic lead
ers Of the Non-Partisan league
have been turned down cold. The
Society of Equity in session in
this city to review a very pros
porous years business, decides
wisely that it will not permit its
excellent and useful organization
to be made into political ma
chine for the selfish uses OF Mr..
Townley and his disloyal crew. II
will not send delegates to Town
ley's Great Falls convention.
Good! That is sound sense.
This branch Of the Equity will
stick to its purposes and will
prosper. 1t will not drift into po-
litical wreckage. II will keep its
political independence and it will
be so strong that no political
party will dare ignore its rights.

Keeping Fit
Mother Writes of To-Day
Visit With Sailors.

"The hospital equipment Of all the
ships in our navy Is Of the highest
standard" writes a mother who was a
guest OF the Atlantic fleet for ten days
and who reports what she found out
during that time in the January Good
Housekeeping. "Since ships can not
fight without men, it Is necessary for
men to be kept in the best Of condi-
ton. 1t is equally important that no
epidemic be allowed to break out. So
every single one of our sons gets far
more careful medical attention than he
does at home. A slight fever or erup-
ton may mean any one OF a dozen dis
eases. The boy that displays it is
whisked into the hospital. Sick Bay

crane. The stretcher Is the length of a
good sized mans sort of like a
basket divided ut one end for the legs
to fit in securely. Heavy tapes strap
the patient in SO securely that in case
of high sea or wind. there Is not the
slightest danger of his falling out.

There was more illness than liked
to see on the hospital ship. but it was
no fault of the navy. The Solace was
crowded with cases Of children's dis
eases--mumps, measles. whooping-
cough. In time of peace this couldn't
happen. The men are kept in deten-
ton camps until 1t is safe to let them
mingle with the others. In these war
days expediency makes 1t necessary TO
enlist men and get them on shipboard
and into training at once.

A JAP OF OUR KIND.

We rise to salute a distin-
8uished japanese tourist, Mr.. G.
MatsukO, Q real pro-American,
who removes the illusion that the
occidental mind is incapable of
assimilating American ideas OF
self government. Mr.. Matsuko
is so precise in his methods as TO
distrust the newspaper reporters

communicates his impressions in
these written words: !
Ever since arrive In this land OF
free I am learning more to regret
that am not born here. so l can
sign name Smith or likewise.

him. This, Ia the lifetime to raise

To show. that he is with us, Mr..
MatsukO adds: II wish you will
preach to throw all of the near
Americans and pro-nothings in
the bay; do no longer handle the
half-breed with kid words."
We W6tifd not he awake nights

knew that all Japs carried this
brand Of patriotism.

GETTING TOO STRONG.


We think it highly important
that the stranglc hold of The south
on the government be broken at
the coming congressional cleo
ton. The president, a southern
er, has yielded too far to the in
fluencc OF the close political cor
poratiOn, known as the south
ern democracy. II is high time
something approaching a balance
of power was reached and, if
there Is no other way, it may be
necessary to elect fewer demo-
Gratis from the north. Thirty-onc
OF the sixty committee chairman
ships in the house are controlled
by ten southern states and eight
cen Of the thirty-onc are con-
trolleA by four of the ten states.
That is altogether too much con-
troll for any one section of the
United States. That any ten
states should control more than
one-half OF the chairmanships is
outside Of all proportion, but that
control becomes menace, when
it is in the hands of a single and,
by no means the most important,
section of the United States. The
states that we have indicated
have tiO. electoral votes as against
1913 electoral votes in the eighteen
states that have given women
suffrage for presidential electors
The seriousness of this situa-
ton is emphasized by the recent
vote in the house on the federal
suffrage amendment. Woodrow
Wilson is president of the Unit
cd States today, because the WON.
an suffrage states voted for him
with hardly an exception. Also
they gave to him a senate anG

HELP THE KIDS.

To help win the war, to en-
courage thrift, and to start our
Missonla youngsters on the way
to prosperity, there has been
worked out a composite plan,
which is, we think, qnita new and
worthy of the strongest support.
Each of the 2,iiO school children
in Missoula will be presented
with q thrift card and a twenty
five cent thrift stamp attached.
This will require the expendi-
turc of $527.5O, one-half of which
has been generously provided by
an anonymous donor. 1t is nee
essary to raise the remaining sum
by subscription, and this ought
not to be difficult.
Therefore, goes the appeal that
our patriotic citizens send checks
for whatever sums that they can
afford to the secretary of the
chamber of commerce to COM
plete this task. Also, it is planned
to extend this work to all the
children of Missoula county and
this would notrequire more than
a small additional amount.
There must be no delay in this
matter Committees will not be
necessary to solicit subscriptions.
The subscriptions should go forth
voluntarily and each of us should
make it his or her business to at
tend to it at once.
In performing this duty we
are laying the ground for the
soIdest kind of prosperity in
county. We are teach
ing our boys and girls to save
money SO that they may have
capital for a business Of their own
some day. II that is not laying up
for the future, we don't know the
of the phrase.

was chap who proclaimed himself a
