FRANCE CRITICIZED.
Paris Newspaper Correspondents Say
Germany Has Superior Military
SYSTEM

Paris, Mar. 2.-The Journal today
publishes the result of an investigation
made by correspondents along the
German frontiers. The paper says the
Germans do not desire war but that
the German army with its superior
mobilization plan permits a rapid in.
vasion of the French territory. The
Journal counsels the abandonment OF
the French reliance on Notifications
and the adoption of the German plan
of rapid invasion of the enemy's ter
ritory.

Some May Get Passes.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-There has
been prepared by the house c~onferees
on the rate bill q modified form of the
anti-pass amendment which will be
presented at the next meeting of the
joint conference committee for con.
sideratiou. The modification is in the
way of specifying an excepted class
who may receive free transportation
from the railroads lawfully.
The first exception is that OF rail-
road employees and their families.
Another 10 that Of employees of the
postoftice department who hold com.
missions from the postmaster general
and r required to travel.
The agitation over the completely
prohibitive pass provision, embodied
in the first conference report, has de.
veloped a decided sentiment among
legislators that a~nti-pass legislation
perhaps ought GOT to be made q par,
of the rate bill, and the possibility is
that both the senate and the house
may agree to leave the matter under
the present law.
There is q further prediction, re
garding the result of the second con
ference on the bill, that Pullman car:
will be included in the regulation O,
the interstate commerce commission
just as are other facilities of inter
state commerce..

Miners union No. l. from which has
grown the Western Federation OF
Miners. and the anniversar y of which
has come to be known throughout the
west as Miners Union day, was ap.
p%ropriately observed here today. All
mines YER closed, and business in
many other lines partially suspended,
and thousands participated in the ex-
ercises OF the day.
The heavy rainfall necessitated
many changes in the program for the
day, and the address of the day, by
Governor Toole, which was to have
been given at Columbia gardens was
delivered at the Grand opera house,
where al immense crowd attended and
gave the governor q most enthusiastic

shipping Bill In Senate.

WASHINGTON, June by a vote
of IA to 81 today the senate decided
to consider the bill extending from %
to 36 hours the time that livestock
may be kept in cars without unload
ing. The passage OF the bill was ad.
vocated by Senator Warren, who said
that, under its terms. the time can
only be extended on the written ap.
plication Of the owners of the stock in
traasit, and that often unloading is
more harmful to stock than to extend
for a few hours the time of their con-
inement.
The bill was opposed by Senators
Lodge, Scott and Spooner. who con.
tended that an extension of time would
work a cruelty. Mr.. Scott expressed
the opinion that, in view of the pres.
ent agitation of the fresh meat ques-
ton, it is not wise to give further oc.
casion for criticism.
Senator Bailey advocated the pas.
sage Of the bill saying that it is i'm
possible to enforce the existing law
and that the president had directed
that the law be suspended during the
present congress-.
According to the view OF Senator
Carter. self interest would impel
shippers to protect their stock, and
he declared they would take proper
care Of them in the absence of any
law or the subject.
Senator Patterson declared it the
height OF absurdity, as we'll as Of
cruelty, to unload stock within a few
hours OF their destination. He said
that wild cattle could not be driven
out OF or into cars without great iu-
humanity.

WOlcOtt On the STUMP.

The late Senator Wolcott, of Col.

campaigner, was delivering a stump

became q little too ardent to suit
his democratic hearers and after max.
ing an unusually telling point for
the republican side one southern list
gave out an impulsive "Rats.."
Wolcott stopped short and quietly
surveyed the sea of colored faces in
the gallery as though looking for aid.
Finally he singled out one and beckon-

therefore behooves the botanist ir
these western states, where the Indian
yet retains somewhat Of his primitive
habits and many of the men active in
the early settlement of the country are
still alive, to secure this inform alton
and make it available for future use.
In the list Of Montana economic
plants enumerated by Mr.. Blankinship
are many that are entitled to consid.
Grafton rs articles of food. The list
reminds one of the story told about
an old.time resident Of the Marias,
who was always prepared to maintain
that Montana is the best place on
earth in which to make an easy liv.
ing. "Where is there any other
place" said this contented resident,
that q man can get up in the morn.

by nature presents q great variety of
food, according to Mr.. Blankinship's
bulletin.
The medicinal properties of certain
native vegetation is also a prominent
feature in this description Of Montana
economic plants. Full and accurate
knowledge Of the curative value of
these herbs and plants il possessed

paratively unknown institution to

may be equally as good as the pre-.
scription OF the physician, or better
than the nostrum Of the patent medi-
cine man.
1t may be Jews to some that the To-.
dians use q decoction of sage leaves
for various complaints: they say it is
good for lung troubles and will check
diarrhoea. Early settlers made a de-.
coction from the bark of the Oregon
grape, and used il as q remedy for
mountain fever and kidney trouble.
Tea made from the leaves of wild
peppermint was also used for various
complaints. The bark OF the willow
used as a remedy for certain

poses to which many native Montana
plants max be aDDliel.
The people of Montana have been

unknown. The purpose of

THE STARS AND STRIPES.

Every stitch of the original flag
stood for o principles; each of its
stripes was the emblem of the purity
Of the expectations of those who de-
signed it and of the sacrifice which
they we're willing to make for what
they believed vas right. Every star
upon its field Of blue represented a
commonwealth united in the cause of
liberty and pledged to the support of
justice and integrity.
II, today, We study the history of
the banner and strive to get at the
motives that prompted its creation,
then shall we come to a fuller realiza-
tion of its grand significance and to
an appreciation OF the blessings and
liberties that RI ours through the
sacrifice and devotion of those who
put selfishness aside and who were
willing to sacrifice their all that the
emblem of our nation might remain
unsullied and intact.
The flag is not the emblem OF any
one mans idea: it does not stand for
the achievements of any individual.
In its fashioning there vas woven into
its warp and wool the wisdom of
Washington and Franklin, of Hamil-
ton and Jefferson, Of Adams and
Madison. In its defense and for its
perpetuation no nan can claim the
glory Of the deeds of history's pages:
Jackson and Clay, Calhoun and
Webster, Lincoln and Grant, each as
he saw the light, gave of his strength
and talents to make it the glorious
emblem that it is. If there have been
differences OF opinion, the best that
wa, in each honest belief has been re-
tanned in the flag and it is the prop.
crty Of us and of all of Us and il We
live up to the example Of those whose
lives are iuseparably connected with
its development. it will remain the flag
of the free.

which was last built. 50x9O feet, was

Many plate glass fronts and every
