OLD FASHIONED
HOUSE WARMING
Mr.. and Mrs. W. D. VanRen-
sselaer were treated to a real old
fashioned housewarming last Fri
day evening when twenty-six of
their neighbors surprised them by
dropping in on them about supper
time, bringing their supper with
them and remaining to spend a very
pleasant evening thus extending to
Mr.. and Mrs. VanRensse.aer the
hearty and cordial welcome of the
neighborhood and performing that
old custom of warming" by their
presence and expressions of good
will in the new home of neighbor
All through the summer Mr.. and
Mrs. VanRensselaer have toiled and
planned in Transforming the house
formerly owned and occupied by the
late Stephen Fouty, until they have
made of it a comfortable and mod
ern home, beautiful alike, without
and within.

ings for social intercourse which
have done so much to develop the
good feeling and mutual under
standing of neighbors and it was
the concensus of opinion among
those present that there should be
more such gatherings.
The fact that both Mr.. and Mrs
VanRensselaer were taken com
pletely by surprise and their evi
dent appreciation of the attention
made the evening a very pleasan
one indeed and not the least pleas
ant feature of the evening was th'
excellent supper that was served
"a la cafeteria" style.

SENATE CONTROL


Up to the present time President
Wilson has exercised autocratic au-
thority over congress, Notwithstanding
the fact that Democratic maiorities
in both houses have been small Deaths
and designations since last March have
practically wiped out the majority in
the house. The senate lineup was not
as near a balance when congress was
convened ten months ago. The death
of Senator Lane, of Oregon, and the
appointment of Republican successor
cut the Democratic vote to fifty three
and increased the Republican vote
to forty-three. This majority of ten
was reduced by the death of Senator
Hustling, of Wisconsin. The death of
Newlands further reduced the major
ity to eight, but the appointment of
a Democrat TO fill out his term re-
stored the former figures. Senator
Brady of Idaho, IA Republican, will he

vote than they had last April aud the

Wilson will retain the control Of the

OUR FIRST SACRIFICE.

The war was brought 5000
miles closer 10 the Bitter Root,
when the wires flashed the loss OF
two fine, manly young Americans
from that rich and beautiful val
lev. They were OH the Tuscania
which was torpedoed by one OF
the Hun pirates Of the nnderseas,
and their torn and lifeless bodies
were driven against the rocks OF
a Scottish coast. Now they rest
in foreign soil, gallant sacrifices
Of their home state to the cause of
human liberty. Not less heroes
they, than if they had gone over
the top to fall before the hated
Huns.
These boys were Marcus Cook
of Como and Elmer l.. Cowan of
Victor. TO this roll Of honor
should be added John Edwards
and John J. Byrne of Butte.
Cook was an especially prom
Using youth. q former student at
the university. His parents are
farmers near Como and very
well known in the valley. The
loss comes hard to them, because
they were bereft Of an older son
by drowning last summer.
Cowan's parents are dead, but
there are many friends at Victor
TO mourn the loss of a comrade
and neighbor.
This war is a grim and cruel
business and was not long in
reaching the firesides of Mon
tana. While we steel our hearts
for more Of il, let us not forget
our duty at home.
We hear that some farmers in
the Bitter Root valley have been
misled into following the political
mountebank, Townley, for whom
a Minnesota warrant has been is
sued on charges of disloyalty.
Marcus Cook and Elmer Cowan
will not have died in vain if, by
this means, their neighbors will
be brought to sharp realization
that the leader and organizers of
the Non-Partisan league are en-
gagged in the dastardly work Of
prOlOnging this war, that they
are discouraging the prosecution
of it and are thus aiding and
abetting the Huns who are work
ing overtime to increase the death
lists of young Americans, includ-
ing those from Montana and the
Bitter Root valley.

A GRAND OLD WOMAN.

When we see woman like
Maria Sanford, filled with the
spirit Of youth at cighty-two,
touring the country in the inter
lest of patriotism and school chill
dren, we stand and wonder.
AT seventy-fivc, DR.. Sanford
was retired from the University
|of Minnesota. Later President
Vincent, Introducing her said:
I"This is Or. Sanford, who does
not know that she is retired y
Maria Sanford will never retire.
She belongs to the notable group
Iof women which includes Alice
Freeman Palmer, Mary +.
|Wooley, Ella Flagg Young and
Julia Tutwcilcr. The work Of
these women will endure even
longer than that of the Jane Adj
damses, because they mould the
|pliable material of youth.
DR.. Sanford's lecture tours,
made upon her own initiative, are
|triumphal marches through the
crowded ranks Of her students,
many Of them now grandparents,
who rise up and call her blessed.
Everywhere they pay her homage
for making them what they are
| in life. Great teachers, like great
|poets, are born, not made; and,
to-day, as in the days Of Socrates,
their influence is beyond meas
urc. Nirile in body, alert in mind,
towering in spirit, Maria Sanford
will always be Finding pockets
lof gold" because her tools will
never lose their edge. Today, with
four score years Of experience,
she is using them to forge the pa
triotism Of her collntrymcn as
Julia Ward Howe and Wendell
Phillips did in the days Of Lin
coin.

war veteran, the other day in discuss
ing the Red Cross canteen. Newcomb
is chairman of the canteen committee
of the Missoula chapter and is anxious
to send the cigarette reserve over to
France.
Il know what tobacco means, for we
used to run out of it now and then in
Cuba, during the Santiago affair."" he
said. II remember one night when
there wasn't a pinch of tobacco on the
whole front. We had been smoking
leaves and bark and anything else
and we were sick of it. l had a dollar
bill tucked away in my pocket, so at
night l hiked from the trenches back
through the swamps to the nearest
town. 1t was seven miles, and what,
with Lizards and trees and mud on
the way, spent all night getting there
and back. But / came home with q
load of real American smoking tobacco.
And say. you should have seen the
boys go after it. We split it up, SO
much to every corporal, to give all
hands Whit. Men even cleaned up
what was left in sacks and the hats
we used for distributing purposes by
wetting little slivers of wood and pick
ing up the tobacco grain by grain.
Newspapers, oiled paper off bacon -
everything that would roll-was used
in building cigarettes that day. And
all that's needed now to send me to a
cigar store for a shipment of smokes
for the boys is a memory Of the first
good whiff of tobacco that morning"

TOO MUCH FOR US.

We despise with all our soul
the cant and moral pose of such
politicians as William Hale
Thompson, mayor of Chicago and
candidate for the Republican SEN
atorial nomination next fall.
Mayor Thompson's mere advo-
cacy of any special candidate for
the Craftsmanship for the Repub-
lican National committee was a
handicap to that mans ambitions.
The election of Will Hays was
made easier by Thompson's sup
port of Adams.
! Not all people know Mr..
Thompson. Many of us know, of
course, that he is opposed to the
war, that he refused to permit
the sale of Liberty bonds in the
city hall of Chicago, that he did
his best to pull off meeting of
the Peoples Council Of America,
that he refused to give an official
welcome to Marshal Joffre.
Doubtless many people who
read of the program of this yell
low-blooded, fifty-fifty American
mayor, think that he should be
classed among either the pacifists
or the pure disloyalists, or the
conscientious DIRECTORS.
Nothing of the kind. Mr..
Thompson is thoroughly cold,
selfish, cunning, machine politi-
clan. In Chicago there are 75O,-
600 Germans, or within a few
thousands of as many as all other
foreign nationalities together.
Thompson's whole campaign is
thrown toward securing this sup
port, because it is united and
solid. while that of the opposition
is divided He finds himself a
candidate for senator against two

ever, did not break his attach
ment with the old Republican
party at the time of The split in

Thompson has always been OPP
posed to clean government. He
was the stoutest lieutenant of
William Lorimer, before that ma
chino leader was expelled from
The United States senate. because
his election was secured by cor
ruption.
The danger now is that the Re-
publicans of Illinois will divide
their support between Deneen
and Mccormick and that Thomp-
son will win. There is the strik-
ing weakness of the direct pri-
mary. II is not conceivable that

Paul Borden Flying
at Southern Camp.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ferguson are
in receipt of letter from Paul Bor-
den telling of his experiences at Gerst-
ner Field, Lake Charles, Iowa. Mr.
Barden is in training for aviation and
he writes:
Il had n good ride yesterday after
noon, practicins landings most of the
time. There was q 20-mile breeze,
which necessitated great caution for
us novices; and with an unreliable en-
CINE that sputtered and weakened every
now and then, while there We're a hun
dred and one other engines upon all
sides to be avoided, kept me on the
alert every minute. Fortunately,
haven't yet broken even a wing skid,
although a certain major says that
every flyer must have at least one
accident.
"In regard to the criticism of the
work of the present administration, I
believe it would be well if some of
those untechnical critics could get the
viewpoint Of an enlisted man or an Of
ficer in one Of our cantonments. If
Gestner Field may be taken as fair
example, the. progress is remarkable,
within the period of a month l have
seen the finishing touches put on the
field, the buildings and streets. l have
seen trainloads of equipment shipped
in. l have seen men trained and
classes graduated, with new ones
brought in to take their places. have
seen the si(edy growth of the canton-
ment to a State of high efficiency and
/ believe that the purpose for which
the field was established is being ac-
comflished.
Each of the men has sufficient
clothing for all weather. All are quar-
tered in comfortable barracks and the
mess is uniformly wholesome and
plentiful. In fact everything is far
superior to what l expected before l
joined the army. OF course, the camp
still has it's needs; and l might say
that one of the most important of
these seems to be more men, more
mechanics to assemble the machines
now lying Grated and idle
