He de- nounced as poltroris and panic sowers those Ger- mans who voiced discouragement. | Prince Henry made a mistake. His hot words have sealed protesting lips, but they’ve aggravated the grievance, and throttled, resentment churns and gnaws, grows in fierce-i ness and gathers force to burst with fury ten times intensified. Prince Henry should commit-to memory Lin- coln’s aphorism “you can fool all the people some! of the time, etc.” How long “SOME of the time” will last de- pends upon the HUN leaders’ skill in perjury, how long. they can conceal from their deluded subjects the true conditions and inevitable end by spoken and printed camouflage. SWERVE AND SERVE! The “Ride With Me” movement isn’t catching hold fast’ enough. Give the khaki clad lad a lift today, every day, every way you can. : When you see him standing at curb or walking along, swerve and serve! Fling open that tonneau door and be, proud you're allowed the privilege of giving him a ride! When a poodle or collie occupies a seat and a; soldier or sailor appears on the street, if you’re a patriot, shove the beast to the floor, open wide the door with a happy grin, and invite him in! Watch for the uniform as you roll to and from business. Don’t let the fighter walk. Save his feet for the tramp to Berlin! Make it a matter of personal pride to ask every soldier and sailor to “Ride With Me!” THE PACKERS If Congress buckles down to the job so care- fully laid out for it by the Federal Trade Commis- sion ‘and takes from the hands of the “Big Five” packers ‘the monopoly of distribution, regrigera- tion and transportation of meats, it will confine the Beef Barons to the work of “butchering and! skinning meat animals,” as the commission so aptly puts it. That’s more like it. Meat consumers are tired of being “skinned” by the packers. They’d rather haye the packers skin nothing but the animals. - So, let’s give them the job of skinning aninials only. That'll be ever so muclY cheaper to the rest of us who never have enjoyed the way Ar- mour, Swift, et al. “skinned” us in the matter of meat prices. Congress should see to it that the “Big Five” confine all their skinning operations to their slaughterhouses and not extend them through the retailers to the family market basket. Cleveland is going to boost honey as a sugar substitute. Sounds like it might BEE a good idea. German Stock Exchange strikes _ till “stamp duty question is settled.” Americans have settled their stamp duty question—buy more of ’em, the Thrift and W, S. kind! WITH THE EDITORS THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE In the hope that the Montana members of the Nonpartisan league, many of whom are known personally to the writer as the personification of loyalty and patriotism, and who as a whole doubt- less takes rank when compared with any other profession or class in this respect, might appre- ciate the character of some of the men,conncct- ed with the executive department of the organ- ization, the Billings Gazette last Sunday repro- duced an official document from the league head- quarters showing that its executive secretary was in close touch with the notorious Bill Haywood, executive secretary-treasurer of the I. W. W. Almost from the inception of the Nonpartisan league in Montana, this paper has warned Montana farmers to beware of its leadership, and has sug- gested several times that they free themselves !Germany. | The record of LeSueur shows that he is a red list party for president, and who is also under ar- jrest for alleged seditious utterances. , are in partnership with the Wobblies—that they are loyal citizens and honest, patriotic workmen sound to farmers whose crops have been burned | of .| that this country comes up to its rep- How do the Yel utation in the line: of mud.

Kate Richards O’Hare, under sentence for sedition now, was also a member of the board with Miss Whorn- ton and LeSueur. ! LeSueur is now Townley’s chief legal advisor and is executive secretary of the Townley organiza- tion. He is credited with being the brains of the! Nonpartisan league and in St. Paul they say| Townley is working for LeSueur instead of Le- Sueur working for Townley. Anyway they are fellow conspirators to get the farmers’ vote into the socialist party and turn the government of western states over to the Nonpartisan league and the I. W. W. This LeSueur promised the I. W. W. he would do when he attended their conference in Kansas City on May 30, 1917, addressed the con- ference, saying: “If we (the I. W. W.) can come to-an under- standing with the Nonpartisan league of North Dakota, it will mean the balance of power will be shifted from the state government to the Indus- trial Workers of the World and the’ Nonpartisan league.” There is additional evidence right here in Mon- tana that the leaders of the Nonpartisan league have reached the understanding which LeSueur said was desirable and would mean the seizing of the state government by the I.

This|very many of the fntricacles of the paper has never denied the right of the farmers French tongue. The natives speak it ;ion, and sex. One company wanted a to organize. time and again that they have a number of just grievances which should be righted. It is for the On the contrary, it has admitted farmers themselves to determine the’ best method of achieving their ambitions. But the Billings Gazette earnestly beseeches them to. taboo the present executive officials of the Nonpartisan league if that organization is determined upon as their vehicle. Let them choose their own offic- ials and from among their own’ mebership. Cer- tainly among the farmers of Montana are to be found men just as capable as Townley, LeSueur and Gilbert, and upon whom no taint rests. Aside from a weekly newspaper nothing is returned to the Montana farmers for the $16 apiece collected from them by Townley’s head office. ' , It is to be gravely doubted even if Townley was the personification of loyalty, purity and honesty that he would be able to advise the Montana farm- ers as to their best interests as well as they could do themselves because conditions are different here. There is another'element in the situation tending to show that Townley is not sincere in his so-called Nonpartisan league is displaying partis- anship of the most pronounced type. In other words, Townley is emulating the old Jay Gould system—that of being a Democrat in Texas and a Republican in Michigan. If further evidence of the close connection be- tween the league and the wobblies js required, reference may be had to the fact that former): Mayor Duncan of Butte is one of. the leading spirits of the league in South Dakota, while one of his organizers is the somewhat notorious J. F. Mabie, one time candidate for congress on the socialist ticket in this state. Surely none can be so dense as to fail to attach significance to these developments, and certainly Montana farmers want none of the methods of the socialists in the from the taint of Townleyism, LeSueurism and Gilbertism. Townley and Gilbert have been in- handling of their domestic problems.—Billings Gazette. 2 Ma Chere’, Madamoiselle: in behalf of the good character | that I acknowledge receipt of your chawming letter dated, June 3, rs ee Ts : the pink one. conspiracy charge instituted by the United States|had received for oh, such a long time. government.

The old cap was a Lulu. You probably read about it in the “Stars ‘and Stripes.” By the way, what do you think of said paper?) They’ have a scheme which strikes me as being a-good one. Any company or regiment wishing to adopt a French war orphan as a mas- cot may do so by sending in a descrip- tion of the type of child they wish to adopt. Five hundred francs will keep one orphan for one year. We are figuring on adopting two. The money doesn’t amount to much, but it is a big thing for the kids. I know, be- cause I’ve’ been :“adopted” once or twice mvself. The committee in charge will send the company a photo of the orphan, together with some- thing of its history. They also state; the name of the place where the! child is being cared for, in order that the boys can visit him in case they ever find themselyes on furlough in that general. direction. They also try to meet the boys’ wishes in regard to size, color of hair and eyes, complex- By Conde . . « lf a ‘|lowed ‘be Thy name; could such a child be foynd.

He in turn: became just as fanatical about a hated rival of the Kid's. Somehow the old lady seemed to. think I was responsible. She was under the’ impression that he was a nephew of mine_or something. When I strolled that way one balmy evening, blissfully unconscious of impending disaster, she lit into me and “Oh, Ma- ma.” I only got about six per cent of every third sentence, but it left no doubt in my mind as to what the old lady thought of me. The best of it was I did not introduce the kid around there. “He introduced me. After Mad- ame had turned her back to indicate that’ the interview—or rather, mono- logue—was ended, I made the usual bow and uttered, .the conventional, “Bon Soir, Madame,” and I emerged a homeless orphan once more. C'est la guerre! ' Seriously, though, the mothers in France, from what I have been: able to observe; are the most patient, patriotic, affectionate and in- dustrious mothers in the world; that’s ‘saying a great deal when I stopped to consider what,some of the American mothers have‘done.
