The World of Finance
STOCK MARKET

New York, April 25 Opening: Price changes at the irregular open ing of today's stock market again were con4Wdng. Advances of 1 to 2h points in Gulf State Steel, Sumatra Tobacco, Distillers, International Paper, Cotton Oil and Virginia Caro- lima Chemical were balanced by aI loss of 2A points in Royal Dutch oil and fractional recessions in United States Steel, the motors, coppers and active equipments. Dealings were light, the | early lack of war news causing further restraint.
 Noon-Many inactive specialties extended their gains in the first hour, chiefly fertilizers, Tennessee Copper and such utilities as Philadelphia Co.,, United Railways and Ohio Gas. MeN- can Oils were unaffected by the break in Royal Dutch, which reflected ten sion ill the relations between Hol- land and Germany. Later the mar ket became dull and irregular. War | bulletin exerted their usual influence. American Telephone was freely offer ed, losing almost two points. Liberty 1-2s sold at 99 to 99.OS, the first 4s at 96.68 to 95.74, and the second | As at 96.70 to 96.74.

ANOTHER DROP
 IN PRICES AT
 COTTON MARKET

New York, April z5.---The cotton market suffered another severe tum- ble this morning, prices breaking more than $4 a bale, or about $10 a bale drop in two days and $S5 from the highest of the season on April 4. July dropped to 26.76 and October to 29.95, representing new low levels for the season.
 Wall street was a heavy buyer early but cotton came out in great quanti- ties through wire houses with south ern connections, presumably reflect Ing favorable crop conditions and in- creased spot offerings. Japanese in- terests were large buyers on tho break.

Connecticut has been asked to do its share by saving the lives of 1,065 children who under ordinary con- dit1ons would be deprived of life through lack of preventative measures.

ON GUARD.

The United States government is
against the l. W. w. because the I
w. w. is a pro-German organization
The United States district attorney
represents federal justice in Montana
The other day a deputy United States
attorney appeared before a mass
meeting of l. w. WIS in Butte and
deplored the sending to Jail of Hay
wood. Would you perpetuate such
men in office? Then vote for Walsh,
who has kept United States District
Attorney B. X. Wheeler in office
against all protests.
A vote for DR.. Lanstrum is a vote
for the suppression of sedition in this
state, and will strengthen the hands
of the boys of Valley county who are
in the front line trenches.
There is no question about DR..
Lanstrum's patriotism. If elected he
will not shield of~ficeholders who re-
fuse to do their patriotic duty. This
is no time to bubble, and none but
patriots should be on guard.

THE SPANISH INFLUENZA.

The county and city officials Of VAL
ley county and the city Of Glasgow
have taken the initiative in taking
steps to prevent the spread Of the
Spanish influenza epidemic that has
been sweeping the country. The dis
Ease has shown up in practically ev-
cry city and town in northern Mon
tana and where no measures have
been taken to prevent it spreading,
has developed alarming proportions.
Scobey has had a number of deaths
and from one to five deaths have
been reported from different places
where the disease has had full sway.
Up to the present very few cases have
developed in Glasgow and to prevent
the spread of the disease Mayor Muir
ray has ordered the schools and all
pool rooms and saloons closed until
the danger of the epidemic is past.
In other towns over the section no
steps were taken to quarantine the
disease or prevent it spreading until
it had reached such alarming pro-
portions that it was practically i'm
possible to check>it
County Health Officer ]. C. Simp-
kins has ordered that all cases in VAL
ley county be reported Immediately
and that they be quarantined. The
action of the county and city officials
meets with the hearty approval of the
entire community, for the heavy toll
exacted by the disease in neighboring
towns, has conclusively proven that
the most effective way to combat the
disease is to use preventive measures
at the outset.

AS the purposes of Germany in
bringing on this world war have be-
come more and more apparent with
the lapse of time and the increasing
h~ideousness of her damnable charac-
ter, one a imagine how lonesome,
and still more lonesome, must Jean
nette Rankin feel because she, as a
member of congress voted against war
and in favor of continuing peaceful
relations with the Hun.
WHY DOES SHE DO IT? That is
a question she has never answered to
the loyal and patriotic citizens of
Montana who once trusted her to rep
resent them. She knows she can new
err justify her record in congress. In
her peaceful campaign before the pri-
mary election she sought to catch the
women's vote by boasting about how
she succeeded in shortening the hours
OF labor for some employees in a fed
eral building in the city of Washing
ton. But she did not say one word
about her failure to keep America
going to the aid of the bleeding Allies
who were desperately fighting to keep
Christianity and civilization alive. No,
never a word about that vote she cast
and the sob stuff she spilled when
called upon to choose between America
and Germany.
Many a mother whose son was CIV
ing his all upon the fields of France
was waiting for Miss Rankin to ex-
plain that vote-and still they wait.
And the fact that Jeanette Ran
kin was SO plainly repudiated by the
Republican party at the primary cleo
ton shows that the brand of patri-
otism peddled by her and her social
list companions is disgusting to the
true womanhood and manhood of
i
. Let US elect a senator whose record

r YOU A PATRIOT?

If for no other reason Senator
Thomas j. Walsh should be defeated
Ibecause he has kept in office, against
the wishes of the patriotic people OF
Montana, United States District At
torney Bert X. Wheeler.
This is not a partisan fight against
Wheeler. 1t is a fight in which ev-
cry patriot in the state is interested
Democratic leaders like Larry DoBell
of Butte and Will A. Campbell of Hell
ena are bitter against Wheeler.
Wheeler's record is unsatisfactory
He openly espoused the cause of the
Nonpartisan League at a time when
league leaders were calling this a rich
mans war, and were clandestinely OPP
posing the sale of first Liberty loan
bonds; he has been kind to the /. w
w. of Butte, and under his admins
tration treason and sedition has stalk
ed abroad naked.
The princes of Germany, who would
shake dice for these United States,
should approve of him, because he APP
proves of the league and the l. W. w..
and if Germany has any friends in
the United States it is these two or
CARNATIONS.
Every patriot in the states approves
of the ringing words of Theodore
Roosevelt, who said at Billings the
other day:
"There is not a German abroad,
or a pro-German at home, who
does not wish success to the Nom
partisan League as at present
controlled, and to the l. w. W."
A vote against Walsh is a vote
against Wheeler. A vote for Walsh
is a vote to perpetuate Wheeler in Of
flee.

STATE NEEDS REPUBLICAN
PARTY,

The state of Montana needs the Re-
publican party, and the unification of
the organization this campaign, which
r~evives its old time strength and fore
tells a successful part to be played
by it this campaign, will prove a
blessing to the commonwealth.
The disrupted state of the Repub-
licans prior to this year and during
the past several years, while making
it easy shedding for the Democrats,
presented no plums to the public. But
when two unified parties are in the
field, strong competition follows, and
the public has a much better chance
for efficient service in government.
This year, after a long period of
rather chaotic conditions, the G. O.
P. has found itself. Its leaders and
its members are all standing togeth-
err again. They are standing on one
platform, under one flag and a single
party name, and that presages we'll
for the people.
The Democrats have not altogeth-
err met the needs of Montana indus
tries and the interests of wartime con-
sumers. The farmer and the mar in
the street feel that conditions could
be improved.
All parties are for winning the war.
The Republicans have been the right
arm Of the president in congress while
his W party men have figured as
the left arm That's in the records.
The unified Republican party will
now again become the right arm of
the American people. 1t was that for
a quarter of a century of unbroken
constructiveness in political life of
the country, and it now again stands
ready to take up that proud role in
American history.
1t is prepared to meet the needs of
the country in a way that was i'm
possible to the Democrats, with their
southern affiliations and it's history
of obstructiveness in political growth
and development.
The Republican party in Montana
this year not only presents to the
people a platform that is broad, Just
and stepped in patriotism, but stands
for more than promises. The Demo-
cratic party has been promising for
a long time to stop profiteering and
to hold the scales steady between the
wheat and the cotton grower. The
Republican party will keep that
promise, and do it at once.

GOOD OLD FRANK LINDERMAN

The friends of Frank Linderman,
candidate for congress in the Second
Congressional district, send him their
greetings and we'll wishes.
They regret that the state was ever
divided, else they would give him a
vote that would astound the tabulators
and send him to Washington in a
canter.
Frank Linderman is possessed Of a
heart of gold. While a practical man
in this work-a-day world, he is a sent
imentalist about anything concerning
Montana.
He was born under the star of Mus
es. His love Of Montana and of
things Montana finds expression in
beautiful rhyme and meter, and he
has written some things about the
state which will live forever. What
Charlie Russell does on canvas he
does with the pen.
He is a red blooded patriot, is
Frank Linderman. To him the SER
vice stripes on a soldiers sleeve is a
badge of honor, in striking contrast
with the outspoken statement of his
political opponent who has said that
the stripes on the soldiers breeches
makes him think of the stripes on a
skunk.
Good old Frank Linderman. We of
the east think we know him best, and
know that we love him most. When
the votes are counted next month may
his name be like that Of Abou Ben
Adhem.

GIBBONS PAYS TRIBUTE
TO THE RED CROSS

: Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune who was
wounded three times in the battle of
Chateau Thierry, one of the injur-
les resulting in the loss of his left
eye, pays this tribute to the Amer
lean Red Cross in the lecture he is
now delivering to the American peo-
pie:
IF it were not for the efficiency
of the Red Cross l doubt if l would
be alive today. On being carried to
a hospital that had been established
in an old church some distance be-
hind the lines l heard the surgeons
grouped about me carrying on an an
mated conversation. One of the doc
tors who had been examining my
hurts requested that some preparation
be handed to him Immediately. The
others told him the supply of the ar
ticle he desired had been exhausted.
In a little while I realized they want
ed the anti-tetanus serum which is
used to head off infection caused by
wounds. This danger of infection is
one of the greatest the surgeons over
there have to combat. As they dis
cussed my case an attendant entered
the room and said the Red Cross man
had arrived with another supply of
the serum. 1t probably saved my
life and the lives of about Is other pa
tients who had just been brought in"
