MUCH CLEARER TODAY.
It is Expected That the Smoke Will Be
Blown Away.

olOWu Away.
There is every prospect that before TWEEN
ty-four more hours have passed the wind
will veer to the southeast and the smoke
of the northern forest fires that has envel-
oped Washington for the past hirty-six
hours will be waited away to other parts.
The weather bureau predicts rain for to-
night and forsees a change in the direction
of the wind. When this wind changes the
smoke will be blown out of this section Of
the country.
The great smoke cloud continues to hover
over the middle Atlantic and New Eng
land states today. An area of over 100000
miles in extent is covered with the thick
gray blanket and has created wonder and
alarm from Maine to the Chesapeake. In
many of the cities where the smoke has
hung thickly the unusual conditions created
some little alarm. AS soon as the cause of
the phenomenon was explained. however,
the alarm gave place to wonderment and
surprise. The effects of the smoke are
not SO unpleasant now as they were when
the veil first settled over the northeastern
section Of the country. The people have
become used to the haziness and it does
not bother them.
The only feature of the present condi-
ton Of things that is unpleasant is the
dense gloom that the heavy clouds cause.
Today this lowering effect is enhanced by
the presence of a number of rain clouds In
the vicinity which are rapidly approaching
the city. 1t is regarded as extremely likely
that rain will fall within the District be-
fore nightfall and that 1t will clear the
atmosphere slightly. The rain will not
drive the smoke away entirely, however,
but it is expected that the wind will All
day yesterday the wind was in the north
and east but 1t began to veer to the south
this morning and Is now trying 10 dow
from the southeast When it becomes fixed
in this direction the smoke cloud will grad
ually lift. The weather bureau looks for
fair weather tomorrow.

THE NEW MILITIA LAW.
Opinion Of Judge Advocate General
Davis on Certain Points.

Davis on Certain FO1nCS.
Judge Advocate General Davis has sent
to the Secretary of War an opinion relative
to various disputed matters of construction
of the new militia law. One point raised
was whether section IA of the militia act.
relating to expenditure of money for the
militia, was not in conflict with the federal
Constitution, the contention being that 1t
would take the militia from the control OF
the states.
General Davis points out that the new
militia law does not differ materially from
the former law, and that all that Will be
necessary is a change in the forms for ac-
counting to be made to the Treasury De-
partment Another point raised concerns
section Is, which provides for the participa-
ton Of the militia Of the several states in
maneuvers and field instructions of the
regular arm. but with further proviso
that the command of a military post or
camp and of the officers and troops OF tine
United States stationed where such maneu
vers occur shall remain with the regular
commander Of the post, without regard 10
the rank Of the commanding or other Of
fcers of the militia temporarily encamped
there.
Gen. Davis holds that such portions of
the National Guard participated in the
maneuvers or operations DO 30 Tor the
purpose of improving their discipline and
efficiency. and that in such participation
they act under the orders of their respec-
tive governors. While so engaged the sew
eral organisations of the National Guard,
he says, remain under the control of their
several commander in-chiefs, and, not hav-
ing been called forth in the manner pre-
scribed in the Constitution do not pass un-
der the command and control OF the Presi-
dent as commander-in-chief OF the land
and naval forces Of the United States

Without hesitation he declared that
the Dominion had no future, except
as a part of the United States, and
would never be the agent, az has been
suggested, of bringing about a union
between the United States and Eng
land. Harsh as this may have sounded
to British and Canadian ears, the IAN
ny Scot supplemented the statement
by saying that standing alone Canada
may never hope to become a great
industrial nation. He designated
Canada's steel industry as a mere
Pigment and Cape Breton as a mirage,
and that nothing need ever trouble
the United States. That settles mat
tiers so far as Andy is concerned. Not
another cent of his money will be ac-
copied by Canadians and they will
continue to worry along with the few
public libraries they now have until
times get better and they Ia afford
to build others.

AS REGARDED ELSEWHERE.

Cody Enterprise: After a strenu-
Gus existence of several months, the
two daily papers at Billings concluded
that working for glory on an empty
stomach was practically a bad plan.
The adjacent big dailies of Montana,
delivered a few hours after publica-
ton, furnished a competition they
coull not successfully meet and the
publishers very sensibly dropped their
every day issue
But there is another side to their
suspension and that is n affecting
the enterprise of the business men
of that city. Does not the want of
support, whereby these papers were
unable to print daily papers, exhibit
a lack of faith, a want of business
push, in refusing to furnish patron
age sufficient to enable these papers
to exist? Their constant efforts yer
directed to the welfare and upbuild-
ing of Billings and their compulsory
suspension betokens a want of interest
in this vitality important direction.
Newspapers can do considerable to-
wards securing results, but the propo-
sition of rendering them adequate
support is one for the community to
settle.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1903-05-19

From Washington comes the state
ment that Senator Quay has no desire
to succeed himself and that he in
tends to permanently retire from pub
lie life next September. The announce
ment is accompanied by the further
statement that he is now seventy
years of age and believes he is enti-
tied to a little rest before starting on
the long journey. This will be %undoubt-
eddy pleasing news to a good many
persons in Pennsylvania, but the
pleasure it gives is probably marred
by the thought that although he may
do as he says he will, he will still
continue a potent power in the poll
tics of the state and that he has un-
doubtedly seen to it that the machine
which he erected will not go into the
scrap pile contemporaneous with his
own retirement. Not until he shall
have been retired from earth will
those who oppose him cease to fear
him.

Now that it is all over. it is safe to
assume that in spite OF the manner
in which they entertained him, the
Native Sons still felt a sort of plying
contempt tor the president because
he was not entitled to wear the badge
of the bear. Almost any man can be
president, but the exalted honor of
being a Native Son is restricted in
it's distribution to a comparatively
few.
