And that Ger which the great tide sWirled
Against the Moslem! How they died,
Fierce servants of the Crucihed!
Great Via Dolorosa thou,
From Western sea to Calvary's brow!
The march of man no hand can stay!
To Salvador and Plymouth Bay,
Across this continent of ours
Mid freezing SHOWS or smiling flowers
The old trail lies, deep cut and clear
Still trod BY men that know no fear,
For those who walk by faiths clear light
The road they choose must needs be right!

EDITOR CHIEFrAIN:-The Curtis
bill passed the house today; that is
what We had been expecting all
the time. The utmost that we had
hoped to accomplish before that
body was simply to secure an,
amendment which would have the
effect to mitigate somewhat the
hardship of some of the most op-
pressive provisions of the bill.
We did not succeed in obtaining a
hearing before the committee of the
house; we have been promised and
are hoping better things before the
senate committee.
We are having a formidable
power to contend with; the Chero-
KEGS stand alone in opposition TO
the bill. The Greek delegation,
we think, would be with Us, if
they were here; but at the present
time they are at home IN the Ter

The Curtis bill passed the house
Thursday, after a consideration
ofjust two and one-half minutes.
This result has been predicted
by the friends of the measure dur
ing the long weeks that have elaps-
ed since it went on the house cal
endar-that its Constellation meant
its passage.
So much has been said az / writ
ten about the Curtis bill" since
its introduction at the beginning OF
the present session of congress,
that the very sound of its name is
like familiar strain OF fsome we'll
know air, and dare say a short
description of just how it passed,
and why it came to be passed at
this particular time, would be in
ieresting to those who have follow
ed its progress along the rough
and rocky legislative road with SO
much concern.
Thursday was the day following
passage of the war resolutions
For many days the house had been
under a tension and strain OF ex-
element scarcely paralleled in this
generation, and after the culmina-
tion which resulted in the present
alton and passage of a measure
that will almost inevitably lead
tc an international conflict, there
was a relaxation. The house was
dull almost TO stupidity. Many
members were absent recuperaling
after the exhaustive siege through
which they had passed; many had
followed their resolutions over to
the senate to observe the wariike
demonstration of that body; and
most of those whose sense OF duty
impelled them to be in attendance
were smoking and "yarning" be
fore the cloak room CRATES, or
sprawled out full length on the
capacious and luxurious lounges
that fringe the areas in rear of the
seats. An air of Incidence pre-
vailed. 1t was the claim after the
storm.
After the house had droned
along for an hour or so after the
reading of the journal, passing un-
important bills by unanimous con
sent, some one called for the reg
ular order" This means a call of
the committees, for the passage of
committee bills.
In an instant Messrs. Curtis,
Little and Sherman were on the
alert. The house decided to take
up the Irregular order"
hey dived into the innermOst
recesses of their desks, fished out
thumb-worn copies of the last
print of the Curtis bill, arranged
pages and bundles of data and argu-
ment before them fo: emergencies,
and awaited developments.
"The clerk will call the first
committee" announced the speak
er.

Friday evening a Frisco freight
train, in charge of C. E. Whitlock,
arrived at Springfield with two
dead men in a box car, who had
been discovered at Logan Station,
a few miles west of Billings. There
was a pistol wound il the breast
of one of the men, and the other
had been shot in the side. A A
caliber pistol was found on the
body of one of the men. One
chamber OF the pistol had been
fired. In the pocket of one of the
men a painters card was found,
bearing the address "P. Muench,
Union 147, 1919 Randolph street,
Chicago. The other bore no
evidence of Identification. The
train crew could give no clew to
the mystery, but supposed the
men were tramps, and been killed
in a fight, though other parties
must have taken part in the TRACE
dy if that theory is true, as one
pistol could hardly cause the death
of both the strangers.

land Bee have been saying a good
deal recently about the right of
local newspaper publisher to run
his own business. They have been
telling their readers, in substance,
that when an advertiser offers a
paper an advertisement at regular
rates, the publisher has no alterna-
tive but to accept. That if he
dared to refuse. the offended party
could have the said paper denied
the right TO enter the U. S. mail for
transmission to its subscribers.
Now the aforesaid papers may
promulgate that kind of doctrine
in good faith but the publisher of
this paper doesn't believe a word
of it. There are a lot of imaginary
postal regulations said to be in eff
feet that are not found in the
law books at all. The Dispatch
has at least regulated the admis-
sion of advertisements to its COL
ums according to the will of its
publisher and refused competitive
advertisements from foreign adver-
tisers without bringing down
upon it any of the dire calamity
our contemporaries have been
talking about. 1t is against a
common sense view of the matter
to presume that any such regula-
tions could be enforced. Newspa-
per advertising rates vary from
ne-seventeenth of cent a line
per insertion to $500 a line per
insertion. A publisher could very |
easily charge double, or treble, |
what his advertising space is really |
worth TO the advertiser, and yet,
who could challenge his legal right
to do so? Publishing a newspaper
is private enterprise, and the
publisher can make rates that will
invite and hold advertising pat
ronage, or he can make such rates
as will be prohibitive of advertis-
ing patronage. And the postal
authorities can not, and will not,
attempt to regulate any such mat
ters.
