Egyptian Mora1ities.

From the Westminster Review.
Here are some extracts from the advice
that Ami, an Egyptian scribe. gave his son
in the 18th century before Christ:
IF man cometh to thee for counsel
let this drive thee to books for Informal
ton"
Consider what hath been; set before
thee correct rule of life as an example
to follow. The messenger of death will
come to thee as to all others to carry thee
away; yea, he standeth ready"
Take heed with all diligence that thou
woundest no man with thy words"
THE man who, having received much
giveth little, is as one who committeth an
injury"
"Whosoever speaketh evil receiveth no
good''
When thou hast arrived at years of
maturity and art married and hast a
house, forget never the pains which thou
hast cost thy mother, nor the care which
she hath bestowed upon thee. Never give
her cause to complain of thee lest she
lift up her hands to God in heaven, and
He listen to her complaint"
BE watehful to keep silence"

THE CLARK PLAN.
1t Suggests the Plan That Senator's Seats
tiO by Auction.

Go by Auction.
From the Chicago Chronicle
| Inc time is about ripe for the submis-
sion to the people of a constitutional
amendment providing that United States
senatorships shall be sold to the highest
ploder. The same result is accomplished
| nowadays by fndireetion, but not always
satisfactorily. Why not stop beating
around the bush and auction off the SEN
atorshlps-the proceeds to be turned into
the state treasures instead of being dis
trihuted among members of the legisla-
ture? Let the taxpayers reap the benefit
of Midas ambition for toga. The legis-
lators can still levy tribute on the cor
porations.
Down in Delaware "Gas" Addlcks is
throwing money about like drunken
sailor. In Montana senatorships will soon
be beyond the reach of any but class A
plutocrats-high panjandrums of trusts
and army contractors in the confidence of
the administration. In California some
one is furthering "Buck' Grants sena-
toriai ambition at the rate of s1,65O per
legislator BUCK himself isn't furnish
ing the currency of course. Buck
couldn't earn $1.25 per day on his merits
to save his life. Hanna, assisted by
DICK, set a high record in Ohio. The Van
derblts are undoubtedly paying through
the nose to get Chauncey in the million
aires club Seward Webb has pulled his
check book and meditates descent upon
the guileless sons of the Green mountains
who elect United States senators in Ver-
mont United States currency is flying
around state capitals as thick as autumn
nal leaves that strew the brooks in Val
lombrosa. And who gets it? Hayseed leg
islators, bucolics, chawbacons with cal
losities upon their hands produced by
whandles-shepherds to whom $500
looks as big as a barn.
The whole thing is a mistake, not only
from the standpoint of the economist. but
from the viewpoint of the senatorial as
pirant. For under the present system it is
not always the man with the biggest
bundle" who lands the prize Legisa-
tors, having no quotations to go by are,
frequently tricked into accepting far less
than. the market price, Tricksters even
promise large sums and repudiate their
obligations after the, election And then
there is no certainty; that man having
paid his good money for senatorship
may iiot We lell III tHe luTcn Dv legislators
who 'welch'' on him, secure in the knowl-
edge that he can't recover by suit at law.
Both sides are at a disadvantage.
Let us, therefore, have an end of it.
Let us do business upon business princi-
Piles. Let the senatorships be auctioned
off to the highest bidder from the state
house steps-no bids to be valid unless ac-
companied by a forfeit of 25 per cent. in
currency or certified check. Thus shall
we have fair deal all around and we are
likely to get better senators than we have
now, for the excellent reason that we
can't possibly get worse. Put the togas
up at public outcry.

Mr.. Myers Manly Talk.

HE Clark blackguards who under
took to malign Senator Myers of
Ravalli county discover that
they bit off more than they are going
to be able to chew. Manifestly, Myers
can take care of himself.
For that matter, these Clark bribers
were disposed to be little shy of
Myers--there wasn't any conspiracy on
his part; they knew that he could prove
that there wasn't. They tried, in fact,
to bunch their hits on Whiteside The
result is that Myers is right at the
front, just as much involved, by his
own manly assertion, in the conclusions
of the grand jury as Whiteside is. So
is Senator Clark of Madison county. He
is the member who figured in the con-
versation of last Thursday, when Clark
agents undertook to browbeat Cover
nor Smith.
II know that bribery has been going
on, Mr.. Davidson, and SO do you know
it." declared Governor Smith. How do
you know it," demanded Davidson. Il
know it" replied the governor, because
If there were no other evidence, I ac-
cept the statement of State Senator
Clark. His word is as good as gold. No
man dares to impeach his veracity."
Thousands of the citizens of Montana
will read with deep interest the speech
of Mr. Myers to which the joint session
listened yesterday. Every man in Mon
tana to whom the name of the state is
dear ought to read it. 1t flung the silk
right into the faces of the bride brokers
who have tried in vain to break Senator
Myers down by wagging their SANDER
Gus tongues. 1t was a speech that will
be memorable-the bribers. especially,
will not soon forget it's utterances. 1t
was speech made eloquent by it's in
tense honesty and of thrilling import by
the mastery manner in which it laid
bare the sneaking methods of the whole
bribery outfit.
Thank God. there are more men like
Myers in the Montana legislature! They
will prevail. They will defeat w. A.
Clark; they will leave him and his con-
federates in this million-do bribery
deal crushed and shapeless in the path
way over which they will move before
the session ends in the election of an
honest man and an honorable man to
the office Of federal senator

The fight of the real Montana demo-
Gratis right now is against Doodle. and
they'll win, sure; they will prevent the
election of w. A. Clark. The bribery
candidate now before the legislature is
no democrat. He did what he could, not
longer ago than last November, to pile
up votes against the democratic state
ticket. He supported mongrel county
ticket made up of gold republicans and
people whom his Butte newspaper had
described as middle of-the barrel
pops" W. A. Clark has, even on party
grounds, no right or title Whatsoever
his exploits have been an attempt to
defeat democrats. He had no following
whatever in the democratic state con-
yention of last year. What little fol-
lowing he had was refused recognition
