several hundred dollars worth Of the
coveted goods.
That happened about o'clock in
the morning. Later in the day, when
about to take the morning spin in his
Franklin Six, Rothenberg failed to
and tore one of the tenders from the
machine.
But still he had more hard luck in
store for him. One individual who
makes It business to acquire per-

in lifting Rothenburgs $40 watch fob,
and because OF the loss OF this. Rothen-
berg handled his SIS watch rather
clumsily with the result that it dropped

The loss of valuable merchandise. a
torn up automobile, the loss Of a fob
and a watch is about enough misfor-
tune for one man to undergo in ono
day. But more than this. Rothenberg,
after many inquiries, failed to find
carpenter to board up the. smashed

probably he will have to mount guard

lMPRAcTlcAeLE PATRIOTISM.
Linn Typer.

Indiana proposes closing the public
schools for two weeks In midwinter to
save coal. believe that this would
be very impracticable plan in Mon
tana, at least in Missoula. In the
first place. coal famine is not to be
feared in Aiissoula- In the second place
| mid winter Is the best time for mental
work. Thirdly. two weeks Of the stu
dents valuable time would be wasted.
State Fuel Administrator w. f.
Swindlehnrst assures us that the little
obscure coal mines of Montana will
| save us from a fuel famine this winter.
Under government regulation, he tells
us that these mines, which heretofore
sold their output at $3.50 a ton, now
get $685. n ton. AS a result hundreds
of them have started operation. Their
product supplies all local demands aud
relieves the regular commercial mines
These little mines have never been
used before because they never had a
sufficient demand to operate at n
profit. Since this coal is at hand. why
| should Montana close her most i'm
portant institutions. the schools?
Mid-winter is the best time to do
| successful school work. Practically
| nothing intcrferes with the studies at
| that. time. In the fall students are
| lured back to vacation. Spring lures
them on to the coming vacation. BY
shutting the school doors for two
| weeks In mid winter, nh studies would
be upset. II the two weeks continued
! from the Christmas vacation, the best
part of the first semester would be
gone. II, they came at the end Of the
half term. there would be no saving
as the coolest weather would then
have passed. We know. il some people
in Indiana do not. that our counsry's
greatest leaders urge the young people
of America to get an education. They
tell us that it is a patriotic duty. Then
why close the schools at the very best
time Of the year for studying?
Besides wasting the the best period
OF the year for studying and disturbin,
the whole term. two weeks Of valu-
able time would be more or less thrown
away. Where would either patriotism

THE PRESIDENT HELPS.

President Wilson acted wisely
and is to be heartily commended
for his support Of the federal SUI
fragc amendment, which will be
voted upon in the house today. Ii
his Endorsement is bclaled, il is
none the less sincere and, per-
haps, it will be more helpful a.
this time than earlier.
We have, on several occasions,
expressed our very strong disap-
prOval Of the picketing Of the
White House by some of the IA
natical workers for the amend
ment, and we believe that they
have injured, rather than aided
the cause. That, however, should
not be used by the opponents of
the amendment as a satisfactory
reason for defeating it. The soon
or the government Of the United
States recognizes the right Of
women to citizenship, the better it
will be for everybody.
II we were asked to name the
attorney who would be chosen to
argue the case against the en-
actment of the federal suffrage
amendment, we would name, nat
llrally, the man with the
tortOise-shell mind, the old re-
liable messenger boy for special
privilege, Joseph w. Bailey, a
United States senator from Texas,
until the progressive and indc-
pendent citizens Of that state dis
carded him.
1t is no surprise to find Mr..
Bailey in an argument before the
house suffrage committee, con-
tending that women are incapa-
bic of performing the three prin-
cipal duties OF citizens, military
service, sheriff service and jury
service. Therefore," says Mr..
Bailey, "they should not help to
enact laws which they are in
capable Of obeying."
How utterly absurd! DO we
not each day find in Missoula
women doing military service at
the Red Gross? Are they not
serving the country in war, just
as actively as the men in the
trenches, when they are conserv-
ing food that these men who have
gone to the front shall have
enough food to hold their
strength?
As for jury service, we are
quite as willing to take our
chances with women us with men,
and We will. lay a wager that the
fixing of juries will be far more
difficult matter when women are
assigned to that service.
Bailey tells us that women are
incapable Of being sheriffs. We
don't know why. They have
served cxcellently for police duty
IN England during the war and
give good service in that field in
some of the larger cities of Amer
lea. Ii good policemen can make
good sheriffs, why not good po-
lice women? Besides, we think
that il the sheriffs Of Montana
were women, we would not have

army salvage depots in France save
close to 100000 month for the peo-
pie back home who are footing the

alone last month salvaged more than
$2,S00,000 worth OF war material. In
