Mason nodded.
"Lumpy. I suppose?"

Very good, sir"
Trotter stared after the retreating
servant, wondering whether he ought
not to get angry.
He's not a bad cook" put in Osborne
soothingly.
NO" agreed Trotter. mot so bad.

Did Mason get that pepper?"
Osborne nodded.
Good. Must ave pepper. Hi!

Coming, sir!" And Mason arrived
with some bacon on a tin plate-he
preferred tin plates to any others be-
cause, as he put it, they don't old the

"Ah," said Trotter, rubbing his hands
together. THAT looks all right. Not

with enthusiasm. That's it, isn't it?''
NO, sir. That's bit of rust off the
pan. There it is, sir"
He pointed to the speck of lean with
a finger which was so definitely grimy
that he noticed it himself, and rubbed
1t vigorously on the seat of his Lreeches
as he went back to his dugout to see
what sort of a mess Hammond was
making of the toast.
Trotter finished his bacon, rubbed
his mouth thoroughly with a large
khaki handkerchief, and turned to
Raleigh with a smile.

"Oh, it's all right. It's much better
after breakfast than before it. There's
only this quiet that seems so funny"
"Ah," agreed Trotter ref1ectively.
'It is quiet. It's much too quiet. Stand

I'm glad we've got rid of that rasp-

II suppose It doesn't"
But he looked at Osborne with a new
respect. The schoolmaster part of It
was rather depressing, and it made one
want to say 'Sir" again; but Osborne
must have been a jolly good sort of
schoolmester to play Rugger for the
Harlequins. And at the same time II
was very f1attering to think that he
knew. while the others-eyen Dennis
Stanhope-did not.
Voices were heard from the trench
near the entrance to the dugout. Dennis
was up there, and he'd be down in a
moment for his breakfast. Raleigh
stood up. II started a letter when 7

urged In his friendly way. 'It's more

ITS all right, thanks. I'm quite

commented.
Yes, we've got bacon for breakfast" /"
And the smell of it for the whole
day Where's Raleigh? Have you told
him about rifle Inspection"
In there. No, didn't say anything
about It."
Raleigh heard his name called, and
returned to the main dugout
''You inspect your platoon's rifles at
9 o'clock" Stanhope told him curtly.
|You needn't bother If the woods a bit
dirty: but be careful about the barrels
and magazines and all the metal parts" Z"
'Rrighto. Stanhope," said Raleigh,
and went back to his bed with its sag
ging wire netting. At the side of it a
plank balanced on two ammunition
boxes made a serviceable table, and
above it was the biscuit tin, fixed upon
wooden struts to the walls, which
Trotter had helped to rig up for him
when they came off duty the night be-
fore. This little corner OF the dugout,
with its sweating, clammy walls, was
his. The book case, the table, his three

Raleigh nodded. In the space of a
few moments the whole trench was
busy with men chopping wood, kindling

issued a strong mel of cooking which,

While the diXies were heating for
morning tea, few men got out paper
and stumps of indelible pencils and be-
gan writing laborious letters home. At
any rate until Fritz started off with his
"minnies" again, or until the British
began tempting Providence with rifle
grenades or shrapnel, the war was for

Outside the officers dugout Trotter,
stripped to the waist, was bent nearly
double over his collapSible bucket while
he Soaped himself with that energy and
thoroughness which always made his
face shine. He puffed and blew and
shivered noisily, and only paused when
Raleigh appeared to advise him to tell
Hammond. their servant, to bring him
some water, too. Almost before Raleigh
could speak, Hammond was there with
his conSpicuously new canvas bucket,
his soap box and toilet holdall, his razor
and mug of shaving water. Ten
minutes later, when Mason appeared on
the dugout steps to announce that
breakfast was ready, Raleigh felt so
unlike the grubby, stiff, cold Raleigh of
an hour earlier that he forgot his
shyness and went down to his meal
whistling.

An Economic Sheriff

Sheriff Madsen is subjected to attacks
by the P roducers News gang and also by
Charles E. Taylor in person. Every voter
knows that Hans P. Madsen has made good
as a sheriff. But everybody does not know
that he has saved $4,000 for every month
he has held that office as compared with the
cost during the last two years Salisbury
held that office. The P. N. admits that Sal
isbury was a red but tries to make it APP
pear he is out of politics. Why try and fool
the public this way1 He is no more out of
excepting that he cannot draw down fat ex-
pense checks which exceeds that of Sheriff
Madsen by 1915 per month or 1922 every
day in the year. This 1892 per day
would come in mighty handy for Salisbury
SO that he could possibly split some of this
i'll gotten money with Taylor and his gang
Of communists.
When you go to the polls bear in mind
that Sheriff Madsen must be reelected and
in this way save this county $4,000. 90 ev-
cry year, just through his savings in that Of
flee.
The lie about him charging mileage for
going home to his farm at Archer is one
which can easily be proven false by looking
up his records for mileage at the Court
house. All the other lies and stories told
about him by the Producers News and the
dis-honorable note and check artist, Chas.
E. Taylor is absolutely on a par.
Even the reds now admit there is no
hope of defeating any of the regular county
nominees on the republican ticket but are
making a final grand stand play to do as
much damage and character assassination
as possible before that party goes down to
its last defeat and the Producers Moose closes
it doors forever.

ious to the vital interests of the
Montana public to displace him on
the board with any man not thus

The technical knowledge the six
years have given Mr.. Young is of
the greatest value, and the voters
who aim at the highest kind of SER
vice from their public officers are well
aware that breaking in novices III

are otherwise qualified, not always
the case, as inquiry reveals-is an
expensive proceeding and detrimental
to a decided degree.
The faithful service given the state
by Mr.. Young for six years, and the

Attacking Soldiers
(From the Miles City Starr

America sent 2,000,0 900 soldiers to the
world War, and they served in many capa-
cities. The country has undertaken to COM
pensate them for their service, with insur-
ance, pensions, retirement pay, disability
compensation and the like.
In the application Of the laws doubtless
there are some injustices. In the administra-
ton of any laws affecting SO many men
that would be unavoidable. The remedy for
such conditions is for all service men to
work to nave injustices corrected. Where
veterans have not been Justly compensated,
the matter should be adjusted.
When this cannot be done under exist
ing laws, the veterans of the country should
unite in securing legislation hat will per-
NIT it. There is no other way to e%qualize
compensation, and give every man who went
to the war, whether private or officer, and of
whatever branch Of the service, just treat

posed towards the veterans, and no opposi-
ton will be offered to efforts on the part of

Leonard C. Young, the republican
candidate for railroad commissioner
and member of the public service COM
mission, is a liberal and progressive
officer, holding at heart the welfare
Of the people of his state, and while
mindful Of the rights of the rail
roads and public utility corporations
which r under the regulation Of
the two state boards, is jealous Of
the rights of the ordinary citizen. His
policy during the six years he has
served on the board has been to ad-
minister the law and impose regula-
tions that would give the broadest
protection to the public while. not
hampering or limiting the railroads
and utilities in their operation or bus
mess.
Commissioner Young is a business
man of wide experience, ambitious,
energetic and progressive. He has a
general education and training which
especially fit him to discharge the
duties of an executive and his six
years service on the state railroad
and public service commissions has
provided him with knowledge of rates
and other conditions relative to trans
portation and to the utilities of an in
valuable character.
Broad intelligence and the power

RELIEF FROM CURSE

A Battle Creek physician says,
Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause
But immediate relief has been

let attracts water from the system
into the lazy, dry, evacuation bowel
called the colon. The water loosens
the dry food waste and causes gentle

Senator Walsh'S
Labor Record

Senator Walsh's labor record-not-
withstanding what Senator Wheeler tells
the workers-is not one that should have
much appeal for the laboring men OF Mon
tana saws the chairman Of the Republican
state committee. 1t is a good deal like his
record as an enemy Of the farmers and stock
men of the state in which character he vot-
ed against protection for farm and ranch
products.
In the latest congress every vote he
cast on labor questions was against Amer
lean labor. as it was against the farm and
other American industry.
He voted against the suspension OF
immigration for five years, an extreme
measure, yet one favored by labor leaders.
He voted against the exclusion OF FL
ipino labor, desired by the %workingmen OF
the Pacific Coast.
He voted in opposition to the resolu-
ton to place Canada and Newfoundland UNI
der the quota act which would have reduced
the influx Of laborers from those countries.
He voted against the Harris amend
ment, which put Mexico under the quota
act, ana GXClUQCd CAlSd PSOil dCOA
the United States, a move that labor people
had long demanded to protect them from the
influx Of $4,000 Mexican laborers who
flooded the southwest every year and took
the Jobs from native workers.
He also voted to let these workers in
to the country evey year for not to exceed
eight months, so they could compete with
American laborers.
Senator Wheeler, who is neither a
democrat nor anything else, except when it
is politically expedient to crowd himself in
to one party or another, is telling the work
ers they should vote for Walsh. They
should remember that the man who tells
them this is the same politician who said
the democratic party was corrupt when he
ran with La Toilette as a progressive, the
man who said he would go into either the
democratic or republican convention as a
candidate for governor as the Non-Partisan
League should dictate and the man who got
himself reelected to the senate two years
ago by supporting the democratic candidate
for governor.
The labor leaders and workingmen of
Wheeler, in all Of his policies and declara-
ions is for himself first and the workers
who cast votes afterwards.
Walsh's record on labor questions
should weigh down Wheeler's recommended
ton. Wheeler is a red, a radical, a demo-
crat, a progressive, a non-partlsan and plen-
ipotentiary extraordinary for China, Russia,
South America and the Island of Swat, but
he is a long ways from being reliable in his
hyprocritical role as Little Father of the
downtrodden.
Walsh's record outweighs Wheeler's
weasel words.

tiles in compensation and to secure for ev-
cry service man an equitable pension, IN
surance, retirement pay or whatever he
should in justice be given.
The one most fatal error the veterans
of the wal can fall into in respect to this
matter is to quarrel among themselves over
the inequalities Of compensation that may
exist Attacks upon veterans who lave been
compensated because others have not, by
veterans, will merely serve to impede their
w interest, bring the whole matter into
disrepute, and furnish envious and mimi
cal people with an excuse to interfere and
cut down all compensation.
Attacks upon Judge Calen on this
score should be repealed and di%scountenanc-
ed by every service man in Montana and the
United States.
This course is prompted by every con-
sideration of self interest, as we'll as COM
mon and decent consideration for a fellow
soldier. Why should any disabled veteran
or service man in good health bubble over
what reward is paid by the government to
any member of the fraternity2 What good
will come GU of that for service men?
Attacks upon Judge Galen however
much injury they may do him certainly will
do no good whatever to any other veteran.
The fact is that they will tend to make it
more difficult to equalize compensation for
other veterans, and will tend to create in
the minds of the public sentiments adverse
to the veterans and to compensation.
Another consideration should be in
%fluential in ruling the conduct of service
men in this relation. If Judge Galen is cleo
ted United States Senator every veteran of
the war in Montana and the country will
have a powerful friend at headquarters. No
matter how we'll disposed other men may
be toward the service men. nobody can fully
understand their situation and fully sympa-
thise with them save one of their own.
Judge Calen can be depended upon to
work all of the time in the senate in the in
terests Of the soldiers in all matters involv-
ing justice and fair dealings to them. He has
pledged himself to make every effort to Sc
cure a large modern veterans hospital at
Fort Harrison and he can be depended upon
to do everything that is right and fair for
his fellow service men.
Furthermore, nobody will be SO we'll
equipped or we'll placed as he will be in the
United States senate to secure the passage
of laws that will equitably readjust the in
equalization of compensation that may now
exist.
The service men of Montana have
every reason to frown down attacks upon
him and upon any other veteran whose COM
pensation, pension or retirement pay is
questioned and the very best of reasons to
support his candidacy for the senate with
every vote at their command.
