beats, who deliberately choose to
sponge on their neighbors by taking
all the advantages the United States
offers them and Sinking as many OBJ
legations as the law permits. Others,
not pro-German or willful dead beats
are merely lazy and lukewarm. They
could raise a hundred dollars, or many
multiples of a hundred dollars-to be
repaid out Of their income in the next
six months-if the alternative were
some personal calamity; if default
meant that they were going into
bankruptcy or into Jail. But they do
not make an exigent personal problem
Of this Liberty loan. They think ether
people will subscribe; the banks will
furnish the money. Let George do it..
All these people come to exactly the
same thing. Indifference and selfish
ness are exactly as serviceable allies
Of the kaiser as the man who secretly
chuckles over the weekly u-boat toll.
Every inhabitant of this country who
does not do his utmost to put his in

of all else. The patriotic politician is
the man who, in reality, does away
with his politics until more tremen-
dous sissues are disposed of, though
the process may dispose of him also.
Party lines have not been and will
not be eliminated for the period of
the war. But the various parties, can
amongst and between themselves, see
to it that the political patriots 60 into
the discard. Personal ambition can
not, must not be cou%ntenanced during
these days of strife when not only
the political but the economic and So
cial life of the country is at stake.
From the smallest office to the great
est incumbents should be those whose
patriotism precedes their politics in
thought and in deed.
The classifying process may be a
little intricate, but the nan whose
patriotism is largely of the lip var
iety generally is found out. The
most and best we can hope for po-
litically is a wedding out program that
will say farewell to political patriot
ism. Our welfare may we'll be en-
trusted to those men who have for
gotten all affiliations that are minor

which binds them to the country that
mothers them.

RESENTED.

1t is possible, however, that the
clever performance may not promote
the patriotic harmony so great
greatly to be desired at Washington.
Mr.. Ford's public statement that at
"the urgent request of the president"
he has decided to accept the nomina-
ton is at least unfortunate, and it
would not be surprising if it returned
to plague him and others before many
days.
Mr.. Ford adjourned his politics and
pacifism some time ago. Perhaps he
will be more useful in the senate than
in industry, where great things have
been accomplished by him. Perhaps
no straight-out republican candidate
can hope to defeat him at the polls.
Perhaps also the republicans of Mich
igan will kindly let democrats in Lam
sing and Washington pick their can
didate for them and make no oppo-
sition.
But if there be resentment in
Michigan as we'll as in many other
states owe what in the mildest terms
must be characterized as an exceed
ingly irregular proceeding, we shall
have more fights than fusions, and
the unity so ardently sought will be
dangerously menaced. In all cases of
proposed fusion our domestic peace
will be promoted if the majority party
be given first of all an opportunity to
prove it's merits. Only where there
has been outrageous failure of duty
can minority dictation be justified, and
as for intrusion from Washington, the
less we have of it the better for all
concerned.

principles of this govern

foundation principles of this govern
ment.
The very first article Of the consti-
tuition opens with the declaration that
"all legislative power therein granted
shall be vested in a congress Of the
United States, which shall consist OF
a senate and a house Of representa-
tives."
Article 2, on the other hand, de-
clares that "the executive power shall
be vested in a president Of the Uni
ted States of America" 1t is made
the presidents duty to recommend
legislation, but the whole spirit of
the constitution cries out in protest
against the abdication Of congress to
the executive will. It vas never in
tended by the founders of the repub-
lie that congress should deteriorate
into a rubber stamp" adjunct of the
White House.
Congress is to be heedful of the
presidents counsel, and give it care
full thought without falling into a
slavish state of mind. But presi-
dents may err. 1t would, indeed, be a
pretty thick and thin partisan of
Mr.. Wilson who should undertake to
say that he has not erred.
The legislation now under consid-
Grafton should have reasonable dis
cussion before congress. There is a
sensible mean between the two ex-
tremes of instant acquiescence in the
executive will, or taking all summer
for wearying and filibustering delay.
The Courier has not hesitated, when
occasion arose, to protest against un-
necessary debate in the senate and
house, but the present danger does
not lie in that quarter, but in ILL
considered action on a problem that
demands inquiry and thought, and the
danger is intensified by the longing
of many members of congress to make
a quick getaway from Washington in
order to 60 home and plunge into po-
litical campaigns for the retention Of
their seats.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The government is preparing to
launch the Fourth Liberty loan and
the people will be called upon to fur
nish eight billions of dollars to fight
the enemies of Democracy.
If Germany should win this war the
first book of American history would
be definitely closed. Away back at
the beginning we had a months ex-
element over the prospect of war
with France. In 1912, we fought a
little war with England. Many men
still living remember the t%wenty-four
hour f1utter over Cleveland's Vene-
zuela message to England. But for a
hundred and forty years war with a
great European power has played
about as much part in our national
calculations as one of those SUPPOSE
tious collisions with a comet does in
the calculation of an individual. As a
nation we have grown to full manhood
unafraid.
Everybody outside a lunatic asylum
knows that condition would definitely
end if Germany should win this var
So long as the German power con-
tinued at anything like such a height
as victory would now raise it to,
preparation for national defense would
be our foremost and overwhelming
national interest. That the United
States can continue to be any such
free, roomy, elastic affair as hereto
fore if it's paramount interest becomes
a military interest is certainly I'M
thinkable.
That-the future organization COM
plexion ard bent of the United States
was one Of the questions linden
burg elected to try out on the west
ern front in the third week of March.
At one stage of the trial a report
from Holland said it had cost the
British and French two hundred and
fifty thousand meanwhile Pershing's
bulletins put American casualties at
a few score.
Our allies are dying by the hundred
thousand in this cause We are fur
nishing money and goods. The least
we car do is to furnish money cheer
fully and abundantly. The man who
reads the news from France and does
not subscribe TO the limit 81 his
ability to this Liberty Loan is nc
American.
The law says merely that you must
not give aid and comfort to the enemy
Good conscience says you must give
aid and comfort to your own country
One test of a mans attitude is this

mar at heart, who wants the kaiser
to win and obstructs this country BY

POLITICAL PATRIOTS.

BY this time it is probable that
most of US are aware a war is being
fought and that the United States is
involved. The administrations mill
tary activities have been sufficiently
aggressive and comprehensive to get
into personal touch with the people
of this nation in the majority of the
1,000, 900 or more opportunities given
for that relationship. What some
folks seem to overlook is the vital i'm
portance of winning, now what we
have gone into the big fight.
The factors of victory are multi
piled and varied, but not the least of
them is politics. The Indian soldier
who, when asked why he had en-
listed to fight for Uncle Sam, replied
that we were at war to make the
world safe for democrats unconscious
ly may have over-emphasized the sit
u~ation, for politics certainly does not
hold that particular significance. But
the fact remains that politics, or the
lack of it, will have much to do with
the ultimate outcome.
This is a political year in Montana
Likewise it is another war year. I.
is a var year first of all. Every day
must be a war day until peace has
come with victory. When politics and
politicians come along they must be
viewed in that light.

TOO MUCH "ME TOO"

We do not like to knock, but this
country is afflicted with too many
"Me too" statesmen, too many me
too" publicists, too many so-called
leaders of public thought whose only
real idea is to kick in with the ma
iority and make a noise like a lead
er.
Any man who is a real, honest to
God leader, eve hesitates to stand
alone if the general public doesn't
see fit to follow him. If he be right,
they will "come to their milk" after
a while, but how many leaders do we
see standing alone today? Then let
US remember that all real leaders
stand alone for awhile at first, and
remembering that, how many of our
so-called leaders will stand the acid
test? How many have stood alone
and brought the people to him?
We would like to see more men in
congress who really stood for some
thing in their own names, who had
some personality of their own, some
ideas Of their own, who represented
certain definite principles, and could
be depended upon to stay with those
principles, in spite of hell and high
water.
To hear a congressman plead for
himself that he has done everything
that the president asked him to do,
and that he is a loyal and patriotic
American, gives u that tired feeling
through and through. Great God!
there are nearly one hundred million
loyal and patriotic Americans, and
practically all of them would do
whatever the president asked them
to do, so long as the president con-
fined his asking to proper channels,
but we want leaders of men in con-
gress, men whose individual think
tanks would be an asset to the presi-
dent, and to the country, Who, them
selves, could formulate an idea of
what ought to be done, not c
puppets to sing "Me too"
Nor is the lack of essential quail
ties Of leadership visible in congress
alone. The press of the country, as
a whole, seems to have hopelcssly
fallen into the "Me too" attitude.
Rarely do we read an editorial which
really presents an original thought
the prevalent idea of most effusions
being a play to whatever sentiment
appears, for the moment, to be in the
ascendency, with now and then ar
appeal to some prejudice for the pur-
pose of gaining newspaper support
from the adherents of that particu.
lar prejudice.
Taken as a whole, the lack of big
outstanding men, who are not afraid
to be alone, when they know they are
right, was v more apparent thar
it is today. Is it because nobody
knows the way, or because they VIC
know are afraid to point?
