Butler We are for you Try Independence First Montana elects a woman to congress the first one to be so honored in the United States which is a credit to Montana if the lady congressman has the ability to make a creditable representative. But manylpeople in Montana are not particularly proud of the lady-elect, Jeanette Rankin. We quote from a letter recently received, from a resident of that state: ' "I believe in women holding- office and J if a good sensible lad v had been elected j it would have been all right. But Jean ette Rankin is one of those flighty suffragettes who is glib of tongue but lacking in general brains. As an ex ample I am told that when she started out to make suffragette speeches a year or two ago there was a meeting in her home town at which Jeanette wras billed to speak. When she came on the stage her friends were amazed and disgusted as she wore a very rich dress with a train fourteen feet long carried by a boy. One term of Jeanette will be all that Montana will ever stand.'' If Jeanette is of this kind and we have much evidence that she is, the state of Montana has greatly injured the cause of equal suffrage by electing her to congress. Perhaps the statement of a certain Montana citizen was apt when he said: "The men gave the women the ballot thinking- that it would be made good use of. The women turn around and elect the most hysterical suffering suff on the range to congress, who will be the horrible example' for years to prevent! Jther women from being elected to the same1 offi Semi-Tropical Southern California CALIFORNIA -with its oranges, its Winter flowers, its beaches, its mountain resorts, its time-stained missions, its delightful sunshine and out-of-door life surely the call is irre sistable in January.

A part of them have their mail delivered j to them without cost but at considerable expense! to the government. Another part receive their! mail at the general delivery window, which re-j quires much time in handling and sorting. Aj lnrd part have individual boxes and their mail reaches them with the least work on the part of the postoihee employes. The last named class, which pays a rental for the use of the boxes, is the only one that directly pays for the service. This method of the postal department is unique inas much as it is just opposite from the usual vayj hat public utilities and business concerns serve: the public. Then the postal service receives most ot its revenues in the sale of stamps from the class that pays for being the least trouble and expense. It is to be hoped that those of influence will uive strength enough to prevent militarism from being forced upon this country until the European war is over. After that, not even the most ram pant dividend patriot will be able to buy anv sentiment" favorable to a large standing army and compulsory training. The world will then behold the horror of militarism, realize what it really means, and have no more ot it.
