will b. a real service to the COM

very Scrviceable woman, one with
unusual qualities for the duties
of a school trustee, one sympa-

the women of Missoula. Mrs.
FarnsWurth has a broad, tolerant
and altogether fine mind, and she
is enthusiastically Interested in
The welfare Of the schools. Where
indeed. would one find a better
trustee?
A second matter, of much I'M
portance l. that The election of
Mrs. farnsWorlh will go far to

to effect this release.
| That this task has been intelligently
periodically and expeditiously per-
| formed is evident in the fact the treas
ury, which is now spending about $40,-
100000 II day, has been supplied with
money faster than II could be used.
That in doing this oar captains Of H.
nance have not spared their strength
their time or their lives is shown by
the mortality amongst them.
Many have died and in most cases
their demise is traceahle to the strain
that the war has imposed James
Stillman of the City Bank in New York

Most Of them have felt like the bank
president who. in subscribing to his
quota of treasury certificates, tele
graphed Mr., McAdoo:
Everything We have is at your dis
posal. 1t will be no use to us if Ger
many wins"
If il be true that Patriotism is sim
ply an expression of intelligent self
interest" then the bankers of this
country have shown themselves a SUI
per-intelligent set of men, for they
have been patriotic in both word and
deed
But il would he unfair to attribute
their self-devotion wholly to their self
interest. 1t has been Informed by n
higher motive and a realization that
Anglo Saxon democracy is worth pre-
serving because II is the most satisfy
ing form of political self expression
that society has as Yet discovered.
The capitalist Is OF necessity, con-
sciously or unconsciously a philosopher,
which means lover of wisdom. Be
cause he is a philosophe he is a pa
triot, and because hc is a patriot he
has put the capital that ne owns or
controls unreservedly at the disposal
of the government.
The existence of tn" Federal Reserve
Bank system and the amendments to
the Federal Reserve law. which became
effective last year. have made it pos
sible to convert our commercial as
sets into liquid credit with a facility
formerly unthinkable.
To the superstitious il would seem
that we had been provided with the
Federal Reserve Banks by an anti
German God, for in thrm is Ia be found
the surest guarantee of the financial
efficiency by which n war that in the
last analysis is "A question of money,
will be won.
With the addition Of the war finance

The most significant change since last
April, however. is the development of
The democratic ideal throughout the
world.
During the year an American citizen
has created new school of diplomacy
ana has oyerthrown the old world idea
that peoples and nations can be moved
like pawns by the statesmen of power
ful nations.
Our president has voiced the aspira-
lions OF all peoples when he says Amer
lea only asks for freedom and prutec-
ton against militarism.
We, are'too close to this world con-
lest to suggest the importance Of this
attitude of our president, who is SUP
ported by every American in his plea
l"r freedom of all peoples, including
those in distracted Russia or forced
to support Irussian junkerdom.
In this war organized workers, espe-
cially, must be mindful of the uues-
ton before the houSe"-shall a military
machine threaten the freedom and in
terrupt the peaceful pursuit and de-
Nelopment of mankind? Other uues-
tons and differences that grow out of
and are incidental to the war are sec
undarN. These will be adjusted, II we

With loyalty comes victory and with
victory comes opportunity for the toll
rrs to continue their march to economic
freedom, without being hamperrd or
terrified by the threat of war.
