revolutionary disposition 70 do or
say something that is not written
down on the speakers desk pad for
that day the strait jacket of a special
rule is brought out. The Reed rules
we're defended-and enforced by Crisp,
tou-on the plea that business might
be expedited Special rules are drafted
today If somebody treads on the gouty
toe of the mountainous Serene Payne
or jostles the waspish disposition OF
little John Dalzell, or to help Uncle
Joe" Cannon out of embarrassment
when he has lost his head. This is
tyranny in its dotage. autocracy af-
nicted with senile decay, political
power rotted in the core, like a
stately appearing tree with the trunk
hollow.
The ruling Republican tr1umvirate,
Cannon, Payne and Dalzell, are willing
to let the Democracy cumber the earth
and also the house while its members
sit tight, keep quiet and accept the
pension and free seed crumbs doled
out TO them. But the first effort OF
the minority to poke sticks in the leg
islative wheels grinding out appropria-
tion bills, the audacity of Democrats
who would expose domestic differences
within the Republican ranks, drive the
doughty three to several varieties OF
fury, according TO their natures.
True, an agitated Republican major
ity OF some fifty-six, plus the rules ex-
tinguisher equipment, has been trying
to curb this noisy little Democratic
filibuster. But many OF those same
Republicans were smothered in similar
fashion by Cannon in the statehood
fight. A written petition, signed by
large bipartisan majority of the house,
which asked for liberty to consider and
vote on pending public building bill,
was tossed into the waste basket by
Speaker Cannon two or three years
ago. Nor was the bill considered, The
point is that. by specious excuses,
which have reached the silly stage the
members OF the house have been in
duced to abdicate all authority.
Everyone has grown accustomed 10
the fact that a member Of the national
house of representatives cannot se-
cure recognition from the chair unless
he arranges for It in advance.
For what purpose does the gentle
man rise?" is the cold inquiry shot at
the man who tries to disturb the reg
ular program written on the speakers
desk tablets Then is wit
messed the absurdity OF the member,
who has not been given the floor, max
ing an argument why he should be |
recognized.
Bang" The gavel cuts him short. |
Bang Bang! Bang!"
Such efrronteTy! Such impudence!
Serene Payne shudders.

TYRANNY IN ITS poTAoE.

The News has referred to the system
Of gag" law enforced by the stand
patters" in congress that has deprived
the minority OF practically any
rights, Representative government is
a thing of the past in the lower house
Of congress for the reason that the
beneiciaries of the tariff do not want
any change in the duties now levied.
Notwithstanding the pledge Of a ma
1ority ci the members Of the house for
the repeal OF the duty on wood pulp
and print paper it is impossible to get
the matter before the body for a vote
In referring TO the situation, W. S.
Couch, the Plain Dealer correspondent
says:
IL Is a fine thing TO be a member OF
the national house OF representatives.
Until this week a representative
could draw his salary, object TO un-
animous consent. and demand a roll
call which, IL enough OF his colleagues
stood up with him. he got.
The members can still draw their
salaries. The rules committee has
been busy, but il stopped short OF the
cashiers window. The time is COM
Ing. though. when no salary warrant
will be cashed unless accompanied
with q red card OF obedience from
Speaker Cannon.

Dust No long as the congressman don't

municatlon from a person who signs
himself as "A Republican Voter" in
which the statement is made that
nothing but deputies can receive a
nomination for county Offices on the
Republican ticket, and that a trust ex-
lists among these officials about the
court house where campaign fund
Is raised whereby these deputies are
nominated. 1t looks as though there

The large vote cast at the Demo-
cratic primaries last Saturday, de-
spite the fact that the weather con-
ditions we're unfavorable, is an indica-
tion that the Democratic party will
be victorious at the polls at the COM
ing November elections. The out
come Of the gubernatorial contest
gives Mr.. Pomerene the solid delega-
tion from Stark county to the state
convention. Mr.. Pomerene leads by
q large margin, and as it Is the will
Of the Democratic voters, every DEM
ocrat win NO doubt acquiesce with the
will of the majority. While the COM
plete returns have not been received.
it seems certain that Charles Krlch-
baum is the nominee for prosecuting
attorney, while Bernard Bell for rep
resentatiye, Cyrus Stoner for COM
missioner, oliver Holl for surveyor.
and Christian Graber for inhrmary
director, are also nominated. Enough
has been learned OF the result, how
ever, to assure the people of Stark !
county that the Democrats will pre-
sent a ticket this fall that will be I
worthy the support OF every lover OF
decent government at least. The af-
fairs of the county as they have been
conducted by several OF the officials
IN and about the court house have
been of such a character that there
is demand for q change in at least

OWN YOUR wi HOME.

There never has been and there
never will be a more opportune time
for a Billings young man to buy a
home than now. Within the next few
years there is bound to be a wonder
full increase in the population Of Bill
ings, a subsequent extending OF the
business section Of the city and q
natural increase in the price Of real
estate. Money invested in Billings
real estate is placed where the inves-
tor is sure of a goodly increase.
These facts, taken in connection
with the fact that it is possible to
buy property on the installment plan,
with a low rate Of interest, thus per
uniting the amount the purchaser
would have to pay in rent to apply on
the nome he is buying, show the wis
dom Of urging young men to buy their
own homes.
Don't pay rent il you can possibly
raise the sum to make the first pay
ment on a home. Let your rent apply
on an investment that will increase
in value. In many instances the young
man who buys a home in Billings now
on the installment plan, by the time
he makes his final payment will have
property worth ten times as much as
he has paid for it now.

KEEP UP THE BOOSTING.

The suggestions made at the recent
dollar dinner are to be discussed by
the members Of the ''25, 900 club and
the boosters OF Billings at a meeting
in the council chamber of the city hall
tonight. It will be a meeting which
every Billings booster should attend.
Plans are to be formulated for carry
ing on the work of boosting and act
ing on the excellent suggestions that
have been made for increasing the i'm
portance of Billings, as a business
center, a home center and a manufac-
turing place.. The proposition to hold
a carnival to raise funds to advertise
Billings and the resources Of the Vel.
lowstone valley is to be discussed. A
proposition is to be made looking to
the erection in Billings Of a manufac-
turing establishment that will give EN-.
ployment to a large number Of men
and mean the immediate expenditure
Of a large sum Of money. 1t is proba-
bile that the matter Of running a trade
excursions will come up. Every per
son having the interest of the city at
heart should attend the meeting to-
night and make any suggestions he
may think advisable for the carrying
on the work Of boosting Billings.

vate to a corporate control is to be
regretted, the people at large would
hate to see Senator Clark r4ire from

It was sentiment that persuaded Sen

those Of the big copper company were
closed last fall, and the people OF
Butte were fortunate indeed that
there were mines in the great copper

Senator Clark has his enemies. I'm
doubtedly he has done many things
which are not generally approved, but
he has also done many good things.
The establishment of Columbia gar.

It is such a sentiment as Butte can
