WILL The republican state con-
0EIdER vention has had more cour-
RESIGN? age than it's fellow of this
county and has called upon the hold
over state senators of the republican
faith who voted for Clark to resign.
There was no timorous or cowardly
evasion of the issue in Senator Carriers
convention. The republicans who voted
for Clark are traitors in the eyes of
those who compose the highest authority
on republicanism in Montana. Their
designations have been called for, but it
is not expected that they will have the
decency to comply.
Take Geiger, for instance. His career
as a republican senator has been alto
gether too financially profitable for him
to let go of the job at the behest of any
convention -republican, populist or dem
ocratic. He is willing to accept the
scorn, the contempt and the censure of
any man or aggregation of men just so
he does not lose his chance at the Clark
barrel. Even had the demand of the
state convention been preceded by
similar demand from the county conven-
ton, which was too cowardly to make it,
Geiger would still have hung on. The
passion for Doodle in Clark republican
is stronger than the morphine or whisky
habits when they have reached full
bloom.
Resign? Never! The only hope of
relief for self respecting state senators
in the next legislature is that there will
be enough of them to unceremoniously
expel at least the selfconfessed bride
takers, of whom ..Geiger is conspicuous

AS the time for election approaches
the number of federal appointees grows
larger In Flathead county there are
forest rangers being appointed almost
every day. 1t is astonishing how the
danger of forest fires increases as cleo
ton day draws nigh. Two years ago it
was the same way. just before election
there We're rangers galore. They got
their appointments on the strength of
their influence for republican candidates.
But their influence vanished with the
counting of the votes and, curiously
enough, the appropriation for the en-
ployment of rangers vanished at the
same time. Rangers without an appro-
preparation are as impossible as forest
fires in the rainy season. Therefore it
need surprise no one if the appropriation
for the protection of the forest reserves
is exhausted this year about the seventh
day of November.

As the Bee forewarned, Teddy Roose-

that he put his foot in it when he de-
cided to take a western tour preceded by
his wild West reputation. 1t is an
nounced that the South Dakota cow
boys have called Teddy's bluff, and that
when he visits that state this month he
will be asked to make good his boast
that he is the real thing with a rope by
throwing steer cowboy fashion. 1t is
further intimated that the animal Sc
lected for the test of Teddy's skill will

self. 1t is up to Teddy. He cannot
evade the issue. If he throws the steer
he may expect some cowboy votes. If
the steer throws him his fall will be

growing up to need some day an edu-
cation, and mother love would gladly
put upon her beautiful clothing, would
lavish toll to save little Doris such a
life of hardships as her mothers.
So in June last year, without her
daughter, Mrs. Wright went to Daw-
son, and thence pushed on to Rampant
City. At first she was gold seeker
like the rest, but met little success.
1t was in January, when mining was
stopped by the cold, that she conceived
the idea of issuing a paper There
was no white paper in town, SO the
first numbers of the Whirlpool were
typewriter on reddish brown wrap
ping paper and stitched together on
the sewing machine. Now all those
early difficulties are passed. The pa
per is printed on durable manila, and
little Doris is there to help work off
the increased edition.
Mrs. Wright intends to stick by
Rampant City until she has made her
pile. OF course she has some mining
interests which may pan out well.
The Whirlpool is brightly written.

AS the storage of bicycles in Paris
during the winter months is expensive,
a great many Parisians pawn their ma

a great saving on what would be paid
for storage. Besides as the pawnshops
cannot say for certain that the bicycles
will be reclaimed, they have to keep
them in good order, so that they will
fetch satisfactory price should they
be placed on the market.

THE LADIES' GALLERY.
How Dalloting for Seats in That sec-
ton of the House of Conn
mons IL Done.

Whenever a session of parliament is
about to open number of wise legisla-
tors take time by the forelock and se-
cure places for their friends weeks be-
forehand. Those who postpone making
their requests till the last moment
are disappointed. The ladies' gallery in
the house of commons, consists of two
sections-two-thirds of it are given over
to the members of the house; one-third,
separated by heavy partition from the
other, is in the hands of the speakers
wife, or, if he has not wife, in charge
of the lady who is acting as the head
of his household. In the portion of
the gallery given over to the members
of the house the applications for the
seats, which are come-40 or so in num-
Der, are, of course, much more nu-
merous than the seats, and, according
ly, there has to be ballot.
When first entered the house of COM
mons this ballot used to take place
every sitting just at the end of prayers,
and in public. The member put his
name en- piece of paper into box,
and then the ergeant-at-arms, with one
or two of his attendants, used to take
the names out, and the successful ones
were entered in a book. This used to
be one of the most enjoyable moments
of the sitting. The spirit of school
boyishness which is in every English
man, used to reassert itself, and cheers,
laughter, ironical compliments, ali
kinds of ordinations and running COM
ments used to accompany the reading
out of the names. For instance, il
a member were particularly lucky in
the ballot, and won two or three weeks
in succession, there would rise loud
chorus of shocked "Ohs!" and "Ahs!"
and sometimes humorous cry of
SHANE, shame!" Of course, if a mem
berwere well-known man there would
be some appropriate comment. But the
old system has disappeared with lot
of the old usages which were in exist
ence when / first entered the house.
Balloting for the ladies' gallery nc
longer takes place in the open, and amid
the tumultuous scenes have described.

Rampant WHIRLPOOL.
That Is the Stirring Name of a Klor.
dixie Newspaper Edited by
n Woman.

Mrs. Clara E. Wright, formerly of
San Francisco, is the only woman ed
itor and publisher in the Klondike re-
gion. Her paper, the Rampant City
Whirlpool, was established last Jan
uary as a monthly publication of ~
pages. It has already doubled in size,
and has d bigger circulation at one
dollar per copy than the entire popu-
lation of the town, so many papers
are sent home by the miners.
Mrs. Wright doesn't get her fingers
black missing round with inky type;
no, indeed! She builds her paper with
two very feminine tools, the type
writer and the sewing machine, with
the sole help of her ten-year-old
daughter Doris.
For some years Mrs. Wright, who is
widow, had supported her little girl
and herself by stenographic work in
San Francisco. With her sewing ma
chine she made at home all the gar
ments of both.
But she could earn no more than
bare living. Typewriters' wages
are low, and there was the little girl

same fabrics are made in silk and wool,
the warp being of silk and the weft
of some bright color in wool. This
produces transparent and very pretty

extremely pretty for evening wear.
For fancy bodices there is a very light

by women, who stood in a semicircle
about a young priest, whose tonsure
was the size of silver dollar and
woman's. The padre wore the vest
ments of the church and read from a
Latin book, passing from left to right
of the line, and repeating each phrase
until he had said the words ~ times
one for each of the candidates for
baptism.
These candidates at. first cried with
all the strength of their week-old
lungs and grew as red as it is possible
for a dusky Filipino baby to grow.
They puckered their mouths and
screwed up their eyes and struck out
with fists and feet. But the mothers
and the women who stood as sponsors
crooned and swung their charges up
and down gently until there was quiet
again. The little ones were dressed
in much finery. The dresses were of
satin or of husa cloth, frilled and
futed its whole length and trimmed
with little bows of blue ribbon.
The priest did not wait for the wall
ing to cease. The ceremony went on,
and he repeated his questions and adj
monitions, going around the half cir
Gle in front of the stone font. One at
a time the mothers then came forward
with their babies. In every case there
was a notable contrast between the
beribboned baby and its long dress of
lace and the coarse cloth of the spon-
sor, with her headgear of hand
kerehief and her crimson scarf. The
baby squirmed when the priest poured
water on its head and gasped and

the Latin words was repeated and

into vessel which was carried by an
attendant and touched the baby's
temples.
An attendant then stepped forward
with an armful of plain white hoods.
Each child was hooded, and not one
protested against the operation. An
other attendant then lighted long cam
dies. Again the priest made the
rounds, this time placing in the hands
of each sponsor a lighted candle and
reading from his book until he had
come to the last. Then he gathered
the hoods and candles and all turned
away toward the entrance. The wom-

skirts and slowly moved away. There
were congratulations and exchanges of
cigarettes as the crowd dispersed.
