ABOUT SPELLING.

One Of the most encouraging signs of the
times is the revival of the old-time spelling down
match. Good spelling is as essential as the intro
duction of the non-scratching undershirt. Every
town of more than $50 inhabitants ought to main
tain night school in spelling for cergymen, high
school teachers and college professors and grad
yates. After the editor of a newspaper has

print verbatim the contributions he has seen from
SchOolma ans and other literari he would be liable

THE CAVE WOMAN.

An Iowa husband is seeking divorce from his
wife, He says she's a cave woman, that she fol-
lowed him to his mothers house where he lay
abed i'll and forced him to get up and dress and
go home with her. This action of hers shocked
him terribly and Inundated him something fierce.
So he wishes to be free from this roughneck lady.
incidentally she started the divorce proceedings,
so it would appear that she is as sick of him as
he is afraid of her.
There is something pluclZy and appealing in
the way the wife went over to the mother-in-laws
house and took that fellow out of bed. In the
first place he doesn't seem to have been very ill
all the effect he claims is that it shocked his ten
der sensibities and Inundated him. If he want
ed to GO to bed and had any good reason for it.
why wasn't he in bed at home where he belonged?
What was he doing at mammals house? The
chances are that he wanted to be codded, that
he didn't have anything much the matter with
him and that most men with a little cave person
in their makeup would have been at work that
day When she went over and brought him up
standing it looks like good job Somebody ought
to have done it before. She did it.
A gutter and wilmer needs cave woman
for helpmeet Some men wouldn't amount to a
tinker's damn if some woman didn't keep on their
trail with a club, or ahead of them with a halter.
Many man, if he were to confess it, owes his
impulse to success to a woman who coaxed or
crowded him ahead
So when husband goes from his own home
over to mothers to rest and be "sick' and the
wife lights down on him like bee on posy and
yanks him out of that and into his clothes and
back home the impression naturally forces itself
that she is doing noble work.
If that divorce goes through and she is left
with three or four dependent children on hel
hands, it is good bet that she will keep the fam
lily together, send them to school, and make mer
and women of them. If that's cave womaning
make the most of it.
/ There's something alluring about that woman

POSTOFFICES AND POLITICS.

If Mr.. Hays has been correctly quoted ne ia
vors taking the postoffice out of politics from
top to bottom"
The postal service should be business propo-
sition and not political favor There will be gen.
eral agreement with the proposal to take the post
office out of politics from top to bottom-if such
a thing is possible.
The interest of the public is not in whether
a postmaster is an active partisan of one or an
other party, but in the service the postoffice is
assumed to give.
However, a competitive examination does not
necessarily settle the matter of selection Of the
best man. The call is for executive capacity.
Many man or woman able to pass an examina-
ton with full credit is failure in the postoffice
or in the schools or elsewhere. Mere technical
knowledge of business does not establish com
plete capacity for running it. A college president
is likely to be grand failure as president of the
United States as the capable secretary of college
president may be incapable of handling the des-
TIMES of the college.
The postoffice service is business PROPOSE
ton pure and simple 1t needs business men with
business mems brains, strong, capable men, more
of the organizer type than of the type that pass
technical examinations fluenty and fail in the
broader essentials.
However, Mr.. Hays alleged proclamation Of
his purpose has grateful sound, after the ex
perience of recent years Let's wish him success

THE NEW PRESIDENT.

Mr.. Harding goes on trial as president OF the
United States He, like his predecessor, comes to
great opportunity with his induction into office
He also faces a heavy responsibility. Yet it is
responsibility which he craved and sought, and
he will be held to accountability, his predeces
sor and the predecessor of his predecessor were
held by the people who granted him the exercise
of power which belongs to them collectively.
If President Harding strives to reOrganize
and recreate the world he will fail as Wilson fail
ed If he surrounds himself with 'men who know
exactly what they want" and is amenable to their
demands and suggestions he VIII fail as Taft fail
ed. If he sets himself in candid purpose to tasks
left upon us by the war and the conditions that
grew out of the war; if instead of cOnceiving
new orbits for the world to in he goes sincere
ly and sansibly about the repair work that awaits
him. if he carries out his professed purpose to
be a public servant instead of depending on
singleness of mind that requires all other minds
to march with his, Harding will end his term
with the appreciation and gratitude of his coun-
try He is not Roosevelt. Mr.. Harding will
probably never hold the deep affection of the
American people as Roosevelt did; he is not of
the type of Roosevelt or of Lincoln but he has
earned the high respect and confidence of the
country, more since his nomination than before,
anu Ids SSIdOllSuSu real lGdQSTS0lp. Inc COuIl-
try is willing to follow him. 1t will follow him
while he deserves to lead No American presi-
dent has ever lost general following unless he
deserved to lose it.
1t is the fashion of the American public to
expect too much. We incline to lavish unearned
praise and adulation on a new president and to
vent the disappointment of our unfounded eX-
pectations upon him later We assume that the
election of president means millenial advance
in politics and government. And when our air
castles fade we turn on the incumbent in anger
because he had not by some magical Incarnation
changed impossible expectations into the solid
granite of fact. ~
Mr.. Harding starts well. He went quietly tt
take the oath of office in a steady democratic
manner and to hang up his hat and coat in the
ante room of the presidency. The plain and bust
ness-like manner of the Inauguration ceremonies
suits the people. They expect plain, business
like administration of American affairs. That i
not too much to expect or demand. If Mr.. Hard
ing retains the characteristics he displayed il
his campaign and in his Inauguration, he will hav
the thinking majorities of all parties behind him
If he as party leader is large enough to lead
party and not faction he will have solid part
behind him. Time will tell

the whole question must be brought
before congress at the next session
if the growers of the United States
are to receive any protection for their
industry. If sheep men do not look
after their industry, who will?
''To date only small number of
men have joined the State Associa-
ton. There are approximately 1900
growers in the state. The association
membership is but $500, and every
sheepman in the state should attend
this meeting and support the state
organization. Doubtless some plan
will be worked out at the meeting for
handling this seasons clip that will b
to the advantage of everyone taking
part in the organization. The time
is past when a few men will quit
their work and spend their money
working on these general problems
that will benefit those who do not
take over their just share of the re-
sponsibility, work and expense. The
problem confronting the Montana
sheep men cannot be solved by a few.
1t will take organized action on the
part Of every sheep man in the State.
Even the movement to sell all virgin
Montana wccl fabrics in the State is
meeting opposition by statements tha
good fabrics cannot be made from
Montana wool fabrics in the state is
to use imported wool, ETC., etc. Some
of this opposition is based upon sell
fish interests and some is the result
J of mis-information and mis-under
standing. The wool growers SHOULD

1t is the only means the grower ha'
to increase the demand for his pro
duct and get the public back of thu
necessary protective measurer for hi
industry.
Don't put this away and forge
about the meeting. Attend the meet
ing and bring every wool grower il

MARCHING INTO GERMANY.

Allied troops have marched into Germany and
occupied certain German territory in order to
enforce the peace terms. Germanys customs will
be taken over and cities beyond the Rhine are
now occupied.
The natural prediction would be that when
the Germans see their territory occupied by for
eign soldiers and their imports taxed as each al
lied country may see fitting" Germany will sign
1t is possible that those now in power in Ger
many see way out of their own difficulties in
the invasion by allied troops.
Whatever Germany may or may not do the
present invasion of Germany centers attention
upon that futile Paris conference and will lead
the average person to agree that the assertion
that half dozen men on the battlefield could and
would have negotiated better peace than the
multitude of poitical-statesmen with their armies
of experts and encourages" that frittered away
the long months in Paris.
Germany will pay. Germany must pay. 1t
lead devils dance and must pay the fiddler.
There need be no sympathy for Germany There
is none. She will come to terms when she is con-
WINGED that the hope kindled at Paris by false
idealism and strengthened BY intermnable delay
and dissension has failed. Germany will suffer
her penalties. The invasion has been too long
delayed. "a
