Butte. Mont.. Oct. 15. O. J. WUlet.1
state senator from Mineral county,
has dreaded leprosy all his life. For
a long time he has had alternate pains
and .numbness in his feet, pnyslcans
told him that he probably bad rheuma
tism, but Mr. Willett wag not satis
fied with their diagnosis.
Recently he went to Hochester,-
Minn., and consulted the noted Drs.
Mayo in regard to his case. These two
men, the highest medical authorities
In the United States, made a careful'
examination and then told him that
what he most dreaded was true that
he had leprosy.

Willett at once quarantined himself.

Theodore Martin, a friend and busi
nessman of Alberton, to confer secretly
witn tne governor regarding nis case.
Montana has no statutes 'dealing
with leprosy or the care of those In
fected with the dread plague, but after
the conference Governor Martin dis
patched State Health Officer W. F.
Cogswell to take personal charge of
the senator.

Then the news leaked out, and was
a great shock to Mr. Willett's friends
and associates. Senator Willett saw
service With the army in the Philip
pines during the Spanish-American

the disease then.
It is probable that he will be sent
to the leper hospital at San Francisco.
and that an effort will be made to
cure him of his malady.

WORKING MEN FOR
BOND LOAN SUPPORT
Secretary of Labor Wilson
Points Out Necessity of
Saving Democracy.
WAGE EARNERS AFFECTED
"Workers SCar Mors at Stake la This
OonfUot Than Any Others," It Zs
Argued la Statement,
Washington, Oct. 15. (L N. S.) A
strong appeal to the working men of
this country to participate in the sec
ond Liberty loan to the fullest extent
was made here Sunday by William B.
Wilson, secreary of labor. Secretary
Wilson pointed out that "tha workers
have, more at stake In this great con
flict than any. others, because It is
only In a democracy that the common
people can come Into their own.
Secretary Wilson's statement Is as
follows:
"To tha Wage Workers of the United
States The great European war In
which we are now Involved came to
the people of the western hemisphere
as a terrible shock, and to no portion
of the people did it come as a greater
shock than to the wage earners of the
United States.
Vo Other Coarse X,eft
"They believed in and wanted inter
national peace, but they wanted it. on
a basis of International Justice which
would Insure the right of our people to
govern themselves. When the Imperial
German government undertook to de
stroy the lives of our people and to
Impose a rule of conduct upon us with
out our consent, in places under the
Jurisdiction of the United States gov
ernment, there was no course left but
to resist.
"The workers have more at stake In
this conflict than any others, because
It Is only in a democracy that the com
mon people can come Into their own.
The great privilege Is not given to all
of us to serve our country on the bat'
tlefleld or In the trenches, bu$ there
are other ways in which we can serve
and assist those who are privileged to
carry our flag on the battlefields of
Europe.
Workers Can Olve Help
The Impulse of sacrifice for the
common good Is sanding the youth of
our country into the trenches In de
fense of liberty, humanity and democ
racy. To those of us who . must of
necessity remain at home to till the
soil, harvest the crops, man the fac
tories, mines and mills, tha way is
open for additional service. We, too,
must make sacrifices. The men who
go forth to d6 battle In the field must
be equipped and sustained. Funds
must be forthcoming to furnish the
food, the firearms and other supplies
for the fighting forces of the nation.
Finances for that purpose must be se
cured immediately for the sale of
bonds. The workers can help by con
tributing their mite.
Fable of Baindrop Cited

Labor Conscription
Will Be Opposed
Washington. Oct. '15. (TJ. P.) La
bor conscription, proposed toy -em
ployers and privately favorsd by.a
number of government officials, 'Will
be fought to the last ditch by the
American Federation of Labor.
An effort by its advocates to bring
the subject squarely before congress
at the December session is looked for.
Samuel Gompers, head of tha Ameri
can Federation of Labor, has emphati
cally announced his opposition. Hia
views have been communicated to
government officials, who declare
lack of men In shipbuilding yards
and labor trouble 'on docks should be
ended by some form of conscription.
Certain members of the council of de
fense advisory -committee- also are
urging the draft of munition workers.
The plan they favor is the one Used
in England wherex "Labor battalions,"
have been formed, the men wearing
uniforms like soldiers.
