Time was when Thomas b. Reed was
known up and down the country for
his jollity, his frankness and his mani
festations of a contented mind. The
public has noticed that he has invested
with solemnity his latest term in the
office of speaker He may win the
honor toward the pursuit of which he
makes his being bend-he seems like
one upon whom moroseness had set
tied I'm advance of defeat. Next June
is as likely as not to bring him to his
jumping-off place, yet he is only fifty
seven years old. He has saved moth
ing; If his party turns him out to grass,
he must work for a living and the pub
lie will presently forget him. The
Washington Post, which sees Speaker
Reed every day, has lately said of him:
There was a time when Reed was the
very embodiment of all that is typical
of good comradeship. He was cordial
in his witty comments. All that has
changed. Since he has become an
avowed candidate for president,
coupled with his election to the speak
ership, the Reed of former days has
disappeared, and i'm its stead there has
come a man whom no one recognizes.
He cracks no more jokes. and he de-
liberately chokes back the keen, sar-
castle comments which are constantly
surging to his lips because he seems to
be afraid that if they are uttered they
will but add to his list of enemies.
There was time, too. when Reed
would go down to the capitol with a
crowd of his cronies, laughing and
broad shoulders. But now he stalks
along the avenue. all by himself,
thoughtful. unobserving. wrapped in
solemn grandeur and his own great
ness"
And so il is with about all of the
men who are constantly in pursuit of
the public while they try to make it
appear that the public is i'm pursuit of
them. The young man who thinks that
public life tempts him should under
stand that politics is field with few
successes and in which merit is not apt
to win. 1t is a career which, If long
enough persisted in, can leave a man
with the meanest LOT Of assets that
ever any bankrupt figured up.

Probably there never came into this
world a creation for religious work
that was received with manifestations
of louder derision than the one which
had Rev. William Booth for it's sponsor,
eighteen years ago. No matter what its

Salvation Army has come to be of
account. 1t has money and member
ship-it reported last year 654 corps
with 2.125 officers in the United States
1t has an annual income of nearly four
million dollars; its slum posts and shell
tiers and rescues have ceased to be a
novelty; its music is as bad as ever it
was; it has saved a good many fallen
mortals.
But the Army has apparently grown

talk is that Ballington Booth, inconti-

for evangelizing the world may go

the better for 1t. Peter and Paul didn't
always pull together, but il was as

The history of religions does not
leave one to infer that the Salvation
Army is to perish because Of a split.
Rather, now that the movement is
nearly of age. the time may be at hand
when the original stock is ripe to shoot

NOTHING IN IT.

Recently. at a Lotus-club dinner
given i'm New York city. while talking
about political fame and the greedy
pursuit of it. Chauncey NJ. Depew re-
called the fact that one day soon after
the presidential election of 1868. ne met
Horatio Seymour on the streets of the
city of Albany. In the conversation
that ensued. the venerable democratic
statesman said: There is nothing in
public life. ] have seen during my
thirty years of activity in politics the
men go up and down State street TO
the capitol who held the attention OF
the people and seemed destined TO be
always famous. one by one they were
dropped by their party. They disap-
peared from public view. lost touch
with their business or their profess
sion and died i'm obscurity and pow
erty."
Most men I'm public life know that
Governor Seymour's wise words are
the letter of the truth: strange il is
that so few among them regulate their
conduct thereby. In pointed illustra-
ton are some Of the men who are at
this instant In fun view Of the public.

WHICH STATE STANDS BE7TERg

Petulant because some of the sena-
tors from Rocky Mountain states will
not come their way. scores of eastern
newspapers fly at this region with cpl
thets. They refer to Montana. for in
stance, as a pocket borough, the pass
ing abode of a floating population. the
| seat of uncertain wealth, the resort Of
the roaving miner. the range of the
cowboy. The conclusion of these re-
is that Montana ought not TO be in the
union anyhow and that the presence
of its senators in Washington works in
justice.
Let this be remembered: Montanas
two federal senators are the product,
through the state legislature, of the
honest vote of the people, honestly
counted. Their official presence in
Washington came about without the
suggestion of scandal: their selection
was honestly made; their title to sem
ate seats is perfect; they are senators

commonwealth and the federal code

i Now take account by way of com
parison, of a state which is i'm the East
and is goldbug. Delaware is one of the
original thirteen states. Montana is the
forty second state. Delaware's devel-
opment has been strangely slow. Mon
tana phenomenally rapid. Montana's
population is larger than Delaware's 5:
this states vote exceeded the vote cast
i'm Delaware at the latest general cleo
ton. Montana is Weather in real es-
tate and personal property than De,a-
ware, richer by a large percentage:
that is the testimony of the govern
ments official figures. Montana has
several cities larger than any city I'm
Delaware. the city of Wilmington ex-
cepted. The city of Butte is nearly as
large as Wilmington and is richer.
Montana has mining camps-those
much-abused spots-larger in popula-
ton than Delaware's capital city of
Dover, and their resources surely give
as much promise of permanence as
the preserved-fruit industry does i'm
Dover.
Montana has asked in vain for the
smallest federal recognition in the way
of surveys of government land. irri-
cation work. government buildings and
the like; the government of the United
States worked forty years I'm building
breakwaters for Delaware at an ex-
pense which we never saw footed up.
To say nothing of present actual
achievements. fancy how marked the
contrast will bee between Montana and
Delaware in respect to things material
when this country is twenty years
older. As for the rest. Montana does
not feel called upon TO produce certif-
