THE MINER WAS WRONG.

When Congressman Pray introduced.
a bill in the lower house of congress,
providing for the construction Of a
public building in Billings to cost
SIZE, 200, the esteemed Butte Miner in
a lengthy editorial intimated that the
bill had been introduced by Congress-
mar Pray for the purpose OF making
the people Of Billings believe that he
was doing something for them, when
as a matter Of fact there was little
possibility of its being passed. The
Miner has probably been so busy re,
Gently mixing political dope for the
republicans or worrying about the
lack Of harmony in the democratic
party that it has probably failed to
notice that an appropriation of $685.
900 has been authorized by congress
for the construction Of the proposed
public building here. So, the leading
democratic daily Of the copper camp
has not yet editorially admitted that It
.misjudged Congressman Pray's mo
tives when it intimated that he was
four flushing. But now that he has
filled to his flush 1t is up to the Miner
to make such an acknowledgment.

WHY IT is ALARMED.

The Muscular seems alarmed at
the suggestion Of The Gazette that del
egates from counties in eastern Mon
tana to future state conventions
should get together, caucus and pre-
pare to so into the convention united
on every proposition, casting the vote
Of this section Of the state solidly.
The leading paper Of the western por-
ton Of the state says it fears for the
harmony of the party if such action
is taken.
The Muscular need have no fear
on that score Such action, as pro-
posed by The Gazette, would cement
the counties OF eastern Montana closer
together and make their action in
the future more harmonious. The
Missoulian's chief reason for being
alarmed probably is because 1t rea-
Lies what a powerful influence the
united delegations from eastern Mon
tana would exert in the state conven-
tons. If such an alliance was formu-
lated eastern Montana would be able
to procure almost anything she de.
sired at the hands Of the republican
state convention.
This paper does not claim the
honor Of making the first suggestion
along the lines OF united action. 1t
has been the hobby of some of the
Oldest and best republicans in all the
counties along the Yellowstone river
for years. There was not a delegate
from one of these counties in attend.
ance at the state convention but what
favored some such arrangement
Some Of the delegates even pledged
themselves to work to bring about
such q conference as is proposed.
When the smaller counties Of this
section Of the state go to the conveu-
tioas with their small number Of
votes az compared with the votes Of
some other counties they realize Of
how little Importance they are in the
final results. But could the small
counties unite their votes, then they
would be one OF the most powerful
factors in the convention. It is no
wonder that the leading paper OF
western Montana views with alarm
the attempt being made to secure con.
certed action in the eastern end Of
the state.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1908-05-22

but he seldom speaks without careful
" weighing his %utterances and I'M
doubtedly he would have attempted to
repeat the feat Of Montana's senior
senator.
The story Of Senator Heyburn's rise
to a seat in the United States senate
shows how any boy, possessing the
determination and health, may make
a success of life. Senator Hepburn
went to the Occur d'Alene mountains
in northern Idaho before any Of the
remarkable lead and silver mines had
been discovered. He worked as q
common laborer and after the .crea-
ton of a mining district, secured work
as a surveyor and made the first map
Of the Occur d'Alene mining district.
To do it he travelled yer nearly ev-
cry peak in Shoshone county. Later
he studied law and opened an. office in
Wallace, becoming one of the best
known authorities in the northwest on
mining law. The republican state con-
vention endorsed him as a candidate
for United States senator and he is
now serving his first term. He en-
tered the senate almost unknown and
was assigned to the committee On
pure foods, which committee had been
considered of little Importance by the
senate. AS a member Of that commit
tee, in conjunction with Prof. Wiley
and some pure food enthusiasts in the
house and senate, he assisted in draft
ing the present pure food law, which
passed the United States senate be-
cause of his efforts. He has made the
committee one of the most important
in the senate, and has himself become
a power in that body and one Of the
most prominent statesmen in the Unit
ed States during less than six years
service in the senate. Such a record
shows what would have happened had
he been called upon to carry out his
threat and talk till May % to kill the
conference report on the bill provid-
Ing for a larger homestead. The IA
nous speech of Senator Carter prob
ably would have been equaled.

o N JOIN IN PROTEST.

The women Of Billings have added
their protest to that OF the chamber
Of commerce, the ..25,000 club" and
the newspapers against the alleged in.
tention of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company to lease the land on
Montana avenue, between T~wenty-sev-
enth and Tw%enty-ninth streets, now
occupied by a park and the depot, for
business purposes-the construction
of warehouses and blocks. The Won
ans club has sent letters to the Off
cials Of the road both in st. Paul and
Livingston, asking them not to lease
the ground, but to permit the city to
maintain it as a public park or plaza.
The enlistment of the women OF Bill
ings in. an effort to preserve to the
city its only park to a large degree in
sures the success Of the agitation. It
will not only have weight with the
railroad company, but the business
man who might occupy the site could
hardly afford to lease it in the face
Of the combined opposition of the
women Of the city.
There have now been three protests
sent to the railroad company against
leasing the ground-one from the
chamber of commerce, one from the
$4,000 club and one from the Wom-
ans club. But three are not enough.
Every church society, every labor
organization, every fraternal organ
ization, every man, woman and child
with the future welfare of Billings at
heart should send q protest to the
railroad company urging the officials
not to lease the land and permit the
destruction of the park. Strong pres
sure is said to have been brought to
bear upon the railroad management
to induce the company to lease the
ground, and just as strong pressure
should be brought to bear by the
boosters If we are to succeed in our
efforts to preserve the park.

FRANNlE-FRoMsERe CUTOFF.

It has been some time since the
chamber of commerce and some Of the
wholesale interests Of Billings took
up with the Burlington railroad and
the state railroad commission the
need of immediate construction OF the
proposed Frannie-Fromberg cutoff. It
is said that the state railroad commits
%sioners expressed themselves as being
willing to permit the taking up of
the expensive line from Toluca over
the Pryor mountains If the company
would Immediately build the proposed
cutoff. So far no information has
been given out by the railroad COM
pany that would indicate that con-
%struction of the cutoff is to start in
the near future, despite the state
ments made by men close to the rail-
road company that the officials of the
Burlington were anxious to build the
cutoff. There seems to be some sort
of hitch in the program.
The benefits which Billings would
derive by the construction Of the
proposed cutoff have been frequently
pointed out by this paper. All the
traffic for the rapidly growing Big
Horn district in northern Wyoming
would pass through Billings and all
passengers bound for points in that
section of Wyoming would lay over
here to make connections. The con-
struction of the line would mean a
morning train every day leaving Bill
ings for points in northern Wyoming.
Our wholesale merchants would be
placed considerably closer to one of
the fastest growing sections of the
west and a district for which Billings
should be the wholesale supply point.
The railroad company realizes the
advantage it will gain by the c%onstruc-
ton of the cutoff, which will shorten
the distance and lesson the grade,
thus reducing the cost of operating
the line into northern Wyoming. The
construction of this cutoff would, be
a business move on the part Of the
railroad. The people Of Billings ZEN.
orally want it, and while the summer
is advancing, it is not yet SO far ad-
vanced that it could not be construct
ed this summer.
Certainly, every possible effort
should be made to persuade the COM
pany to build the cutoff as soon as
possible. The benefits, which its CON
struction will mean for Billings, are
appreciated by every booster, who
has investigated it.

VANDERBILT CASE
IS NEARING END
REFEREES REPORT rs FILED in
SUPREME COURT.

New York, May 21.-The report Of
the referee IN the suit Of Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt for divorce from
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, head Of the Cor.
nelius Vanderbilt branch Of the fam
lily, was handed to Justice O'Gorman
In the supreme court today. All the
papers in the case were at once seal
ed and fled.
An intimation that the report Of the
referee was favorable to Mrs. Wander
bilt was given when the attorneys
made a motion that the report be con
frmed. The motion was taken under
advisement.

AMERICA ALMOST IMMUNE.

During the recent discussion In the
national congress for and against
the four %battleship program Of the
president one Of the strong arguments
advanced by those favoring it was
that a large navy was necessary to
preserve the peace Of the nation.
But it is not b%attleships or large
armies that will preserve the peace
of the United States and keep this ma
tion free from foreign wars. 1t is the
natural productiveness. of the coun-
try. Other nations depend upon the
United States to such a great extent
for commodities that none Of. them
can afford to make war on Uncle Sam.
Figures taken from the Review Of
Reviews and printed recently in the
Spokesman-Review show how impor-
tant a factor the United States is as
a source Of supply for the world.
With an area Of So per cent Of that
Of the entire world and a population
Of So per cent Of the worlds people,
the United States is producing 1873
per cent of the entire corr product,
71.3 per cent OF the cotton and GOT
per cent of wheat. Other percentages
Of United States productivity in pro-
portion to the worlds output are: To-
bacco 31.1;. pig iron, 1872; petroleum,
62.5; copper, SIS; gold, 22.1;; silver,
35.5; coal, 1913; phosphate rock, 54.4;
railroad mileage, 39.5.
The contrast presented by the diff
ference between the area and popula-
ton percentages and those Of pro.
ductivity is strikingly significant. Our
agricultural supremacy Is matched by
that in minerals and manufactures.
Statistics show, moreover, that the
United States is steadily gaining in It's
proportion of the worlds productive
interests. At the beginning of this
century, less than nine years ago, we
were producing "a per cent Of the
worlds iron, as against 42.2 now; 42.9
per cent OF petroleum, as against 62.5
per cent at present; 5o.5 per cent of
copper, as compared with 57.5 per
cent today; less than one-half of 1
per cent Of the worlds sulphur, as
compared with 1858 per cent now.

PEACE MOVEMENT
BETWEEN NATIONS
CONFERENCE FOR INTERRUPTIONS
Al ARBITRATION MEETS.

Lake Mohonk, N. T., May 21.-That
friends Of the movement in favor OF
international peace have found much
to encourage them during the past
year was the opinion expressed in let
tiers, addresses and reports read at
today's session Of the Lake Mohonk
conference for international arbitra-
ton.
James Bryce, the British ambassar
dor to America, in a letter expressing
regret at his inability to attend the
conference, called attention to the
several arbitration treaties signed by
the United States during the past
year.
Professor Kirchwey, dean Of the law
school Of Columbia college, said he
believed the development Of interna-
tional law will exert a strong moral
force in maintaining peace and good
will among nations.

CASUALTY LIST or PEACE.

Peace, as we'll as war, has an ap-
palling casualty list. The sum total
of deaths and injuries from accidents
on the traction and transportation
lines of the nation is enormous Ac-
cording to the monthly report Of acct
dents on the traction lines OF New
York city alone in the month Of April
there We're 4,707 people hurt in acct
dents, 30 fatally. Considering that
the traction system Of New York has
but a small per cent of the total mile
age Of traction systems in the nation.
the large number who must be in
jured or killed in accidents on trac-
ton or transportation lines in the ma.
ton would seem enormous. The
street car systems in the metropolis
are as well operated as anywhere and
there is no reason to believe that a
greater number of accidents take
place in Gotham in proportion to the
population than in other sections, of
the country.
While the total for April is the
largest on record it is only slightly in
excess of the total for March. There
must be something wrong in the op-
Grafton Of traction lines that there
should be 81 many accidents. Trac.
ton lines and transportation systems
are supposedly operated for the pub
lie benefit and yet in a single month
the traction lines of the largest city
IN the nation kill and injure enough
people to rival the casualty List in a
good sized battle. Think what the
total casualty list in the country for
one month must amount to.
It would not seem that the traction
systems Of the country, showing the
casualty list they do, are operated
With as much care az should be de.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

"Ain't it funny what a difference
just a few years make" in political
life? A few years ago two Of the
most important members Of the United
States senate, If not the most impor-
tant, were Thomas G. Plat and
Chauncey M. Depew, senators from
New York. When any legislation was
to be enacted Tom Plat had to be
e Before any serious steps were
taken in national political life Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew was probably consulted.
One was mentioned al vice presiden-
tial timber, while the other was
spoken OF as excellent material to I'LL
the attorney generalship Of the ma
ton.
The contrast now is startling. In
national political life they have sunk
to as near political oblivion as posi-
BILE and still be United States sena-
tors. The press dispatches from
w ILL.,, WulCu 1OI1lVIly MCuLxOus
ed them scores of times daily, now
seldom speak Of them. 1t required a
sensational divorce and blackmatl
$ to get Senator Plat n tie lime
light gain, and the people had almost
forgotten the identity Of his colleague
in representing the the great Empire
state in the senate. Not one out Of
four people could have told that it
was the Hon. Chauncey Depev, whose
a%fter-dinner speeches were once
quoted daily.
The expose Of corruption in high
places has had the effect Of cons1gn-
ing two Of the nations foremost pub
lie men to the rear. Their places are
held by younger men, statesmen
whose names were unneard Of in the
heydey Of the glory Of Senators Plat
and Depew. "Ain't it funny what a
difference just a few years make" in
the political life of a nation?
