INNS. FARNSWORTH'S
GaNt)h1ACY.
eorADllsHED 1878

There are. some very excellent
candidates for the school board
and flour citizens fail in their
duty of cnQosing the ones brst
fitted, the responsibility must rest
solely with them. There IS no
lack of material and 10 reason
why. the next board should not
be Of the highest standard OF citt-
xe1ship.
/. The nomination Of Mrs. II. b.
Farnsworth should appeal strong
Nv to the support Of those Of our
citizens who believe that the
board will be improved by the
presence of an earnest, inteiligent
and conscientious woman, who
has been in the foreground OF all
worthy movements, to improve
conditions in Missotlla.
The argument that a capable
woman Is especially fitted for the
duties Of a school trustee by rca-
son Of her parental and home du-
ties is a good one. Mrs. Farms
worth is a mother; she is the
president of the Montana branch
of the National Congress OF
Mothers and OF the Parent
Teachers association; she ls
college graduate and is much in
terested in progressive methods
of education. On the school board
she win command the sympa-
thetic interests of the mothers
whose children are in the schools
There are many excellent rea-
sons why she should be elected
and We hope that all good citizens
will aid her campaign.

FORGET THE RIVER
THIS WEEK.

Is it not time to choose school
trustees without regard to divl-.
sionS of the city? Beginning
now. cannot We drop forever the
absurd agitation that creates a
geographical issue IN school
election, So long as the con1m:c
nifty is well served what earthly
difference does it make whether
one, or all Of the trustees come
from one side OF the town or the
other?
We wish we might convince
certain narrow, bigoted and fool
Iish people that they are putting
the brakes on the progress Of
IMissoula when they revive this
fight every year
As it happens this year there
are five excellent candidates.
Nov. why not forget the line Of
1.-The Missoula river and after care
fully studying the qualifications
lof these candidates, choose two
|who seem to be really the best
Qualified?
| We think that all who encour-
Iage politics in the school board
fare acting to the very serious
dctriment of the community. Lei
us stop that also. II there is any
candidate who is willing to be 9
messenger boy for a school boarC
politician, let us defeat him. W.
|are not aware that there is sucf
a one, and we refer to the matter
lonly in the most general way sc
that the people may he sure o
the election Of candidates wht
Twill act wholly independent anC
with sole regard for the best in
|tcrests of the community.

that time arrives we can think Of
nothing that would do the ad-
ministration more harm than the
interference of the president into
a political contest that belongs to
the people Of Montana and must
he settled by them.
We are inclined to think that
the safer method of keeping
patriotism above party politics
lin the elections next fall will be
a general policy on the part of the
national administration to refrain
from participation. Then all mis-
understandings will be avoided.

DON'T GUM THE CARDS.

President Wilson must combine
wisdom with great caution If he
IS to follow the policy of public
appeal for the election Of individ-'
uals to the next congress. He
must travel this route along the
finest lines, If he is to avoid a
charge of partisanship and thus
defeat the very purpose that he IS
presumably seeking.
Mr.. Wilson's call to the Demo-
Gratis Of Minnesota to get in line
for the reelection Of Senator
Nelson appears to have been
taken by over Jealous Democrats
elsewhere as a precedent for a
return Of favors. Senator Nelson
is a fine, strong, red-blooded SEN
ator, who has stood squarely be-
hind the president in the prose-
cltiOn of the war, as he should
have done, and is one Of the men
most needed at Washington. The
alternative, resulting from his de-
feat, is not pleasant to contemp-
late. The election Of a Demo
cratic senator from Minnesota is
SO utterly improbable that it may
be dismissed from the politica'
program. The situation is thu,
resolved into the reelection q

says Lieutenant Arnold Joerns Of Chi
cago, ruscanIA survivor. whose story
is printed In The Wing Slip" an avia-
ton service paper sent home by Robert
T. Fredericks, a Missoula boy, who is
now at the front. Lieutenant Joerns
writes:
"Iiit almost in the middle and in the
engine room, the ship listed to star
board. and all lights went out. At
first there was considerable confusion.
Our lifeboat was lowered with much
difficulty. About halfway down. the
ropes stuck, and there we hung. Sud
denly the rope gave way and we
crashed down on top of another life
boat, filled with people. which had
floated under us. Tho result was that
everyone in 1t, with the exception of
one man, was killed. We wrapped the
survivor in my overcoat and succeeded
in getting him aboard the English de-
stroyer which picked us up. We had
then been afloat about three hours.
Many lives were lost in getting the
men from the lifeboats to destroyers,
owing to the high sea. I saw one
young lieutenant crushed to pieces as
his handhold on the destroyer rail
slipped and he fell back into the sea.
"The discipline Of the enlisted men
as they left the ship could not have
been better" commented the survivor.
From all parts Of the ship they
formed lines without commands by
their officers, and marched single file
up the companionways and ladders. To
| them is due the credit Of the compari-
lively small death list. There were
| about 1900 men aboard.
while cruising on the destroyer

REDMOND'S DEATH AND EFFECT ON
 IRELAND'S FATE

LONDON, March 18.-The effect of the death of John Redmond, the Irish leader. on the Irish convention. has been the cause of much speculation in cne British Isles. The press in some sections of the country believe that the emotional Irish people will be deeply stirred by the death of their leader and this sympathy may unfiu- ence all factions toward his policy of conciliation.
 As the meetings Of the convention are secret the trend of events can be judged only when the convention makes it's report. Mir. Redmond's health kept him away from most of the recent. ..sittings. Some of his fol- lowers thought him too willing to make compromises and his disappear ance from the scene may stiffen the nationalist attitude, but that still is matter of speculation.

Spies Working Within the Rank Of the American Army in France. Artillery Fire and General
 Fighting Covering Nearly Every Part of

d by 6 terrific artillery fire that lasted several hours, a large number of enemy troops crossed No Mans Land on the extreme right of the American sector northwest of Foul. this morning apparently for the purpose of a raid which was quickly accomp- l;shed but only a comparatively small number entered our lines.
