JAPANESE PLEDGE OF FRIEND.
SHIP.

Whatever the reason, we think the
Japs have made it plain to the people
of the United States that they are not
looking for trouble in this direction.
If the cruise Of the battleship fleet
around the world had no other effect,
the effort has been well directed.
A few indiscreet words at a critical
moment just about twelve months
ago would have unleashed the
navy Of Nippon. The cost Of wal
would have run into the millions of
dollars in money and thousands Of
Hives.
The actual extra cost OF sending
that fleet around the world will equal
simply the extra coal burned.
The lessons Of the cruise will be
worth infinitely more than the money
expended. 1t is the navy that is well
drilled and experienced that hits the
hardest blows. s..

the sinews Of the feet we're strength
ened, the eye practiced, the nerve
steadied, the mind broadened and pa
triotism aroused, and made more alert
by observation.
Because the battleship feet visited
Japan, the remarkable demonstration
was made possible, and that reception
has cemented firmer than ever the
friendship Of the two powers, for as
the emperor thinks, so does Japan,
and when he spoke Of the everlasting
friendship OF the two nations, and
pledged it for the future, the people of
Japan forgot the little annoyances OF
q year ago., waved American flags, and
shouted themselves hoarse for the
only power on earth has no Interior de-
signs in the Orient.

CROWDS
CHEER ". II. TAFT
Continued from First Page.)

When the candidate arrived at New
Haven he inquired al once for his son
Robert. After the meeting Robert. who
is a junior at Yale, and who had been
making frantic EFFORTS to get tc his
father, through the crowds, finally
reached him at the station.
my SON. said Judge Taft, as he
placed the boys ruddy face between
his hands and planted a kiss squarely
on his lips. Robert was taken aboard
and was IN admiring listener to his
fathers speech at Port Chester on the
way back.
Here a tremendous crowd had as
sembled for the purpose Of listening
to both w. j. Bryan and Mr.. Taft, who.
were due there about the same time.
Judge Taft arrived first and was met
by cheers and the waving OF many
small flags. .
Bryan said . year ago that the
recent panic was not due to Roose-.
welt" said Mr.. Taft, in his brief speech.
HE now says it was due to Roose-
welt. The change in one year III not
exceptional in Bryan's career" q
Going to New Haven Mr. Taft spoke
to crowds In the rain at Stamford,
South Norwalk and Bridgeport, all
stops not contemplated III his sche-
dule. His very first utterance Of the
day was that Bryan had aided pros
ttperity in no other way than to be
defeated.
When the Taft special reached New
York on it's return at 4::3O o'clock the
candidates was taken to the MOntauk
club, Brooklyn. accompanied by State
Chairman Woodruff, where he vas the
guest of honor at a dinner participated
in by a hundred prominent Republic
cans Of that city.
A five mile automobile ride brought
Judge Taft to his first meeting. The
streets were crowded. The auditorium
in the Metropolitan Saenger Hall was
filled with a Jewish audience and after
five minutes of cheers had been given
for Taft, the assemblage 'paidSa hearty
tribute to Oscar Straus, secretary d
commerce and labor, who introduced
Mr.. Taft.
AT Congress hall, the next meeting
the audience was of the same charac
ter. Mr.. Taft launched into a speech
to show why there was no good rea.
son for changing the policy of the ad.
ministration.
How about the panic, Billy" came
q voice. &3
Mr.. Taft answered by showing thai
Theodore Roosevelt had awakened thu
business conscience Of the country ant
then brought out that the exponent q
this moral awakening in New Yorl
today, was Governor Hughes. As t.
the panic, he said it came q year agx
in October. Prosperity SO grea
resulted in wildcat schemes ant
consequently loss OF contldenc.
and then the panic, he said, was no
widespread was rapidly disappearing
and with republican success could
speedily disappear altogether. Such
he declared, would not be the cas-
with the Democratic success.
At Arion hall the candidate found al
Immense audience awaiting him. I
was composed largely of Germans
! Thirty-two blocks Of a parade which
divided on each of the street, an
{ through which Mr.. Talt passed, wa
: the big feature Of the evening.
When the candidates reached tn
Clermont rink he reviewed the issue
to an immense audience and did tn
same at the new Academy OF Music.

SENATOR DIxoN's RETURN.

Senator Dixon, who passed through
Billings yesterday on his way to Mis-
tsoula, brings reassuring words with
reference ito the outlook for TAFT
The man in the south, where every
thing Is Democratic, sees through Dem
ocratic eyes. The nam in Oregon,
where everything is Republican, sees
through Republican eyes.
In order to judge matters Impartial
ly, one must accept the other view
point. One must remember that the
northeastern portion Of the United
States, measuring east from the Miss
.iisstppi and north from the Orio river,
and including Pennsylvania, contains
a greater population than all the bal
ance of the United States, north, south,
east and west. To be axact, the pop
ulation in that section is 3~8,66S,773,
while the population in the balance Of
the country is 37,310,6O2. We . APP
preciate this more when we reflect
that in the city OF Pittsburg, there
are 100000 men employed in the man.
ufacturing industry within 100000 OF
the total population of Montana-and
these men are employed within a rad
Jus of seven miles-whiie the extreme
length of Montana is over 500 miles.
One factory in Pittsburg has buildings
that extend for nearly two miles, and
cover ground half a mile wide. 1t en-
ploys $4,000 men. Another concern
pays wages to 10000 people within
the corporate limits of Pittsburg.
These statements just by way of illus
tration. These are the people who.
in the past have been hit hardest BY
the free trade p~olicy-who benefit the
most by the protective tariff.
One mans vote counts just as much
as another man's--no more The cen
ter of population, therefore, will cast
the heaviest vote, and the majority OF
the voters will cast their ballots II
protection to their own interests. That
is human nature the world over.
We Of the west hear that Nebraska
is for Bryan, also Colorado, and we
hear conflicting stories from different
sections, and we fall into doubt. This
is natural because we are the victims
OF environment.
But when we look at the other side
| we must alter our opinion.
With these figures in mind we car
understand better the statement d
Senator Dixon, that New York viii
give Taft a majority Of 100000 an6
that Ohio will give him a handsome
plurality. Those states are great man
%ufacturing centers. Every article they
produce, everything they turn out, il
protected. The measure of protection
equals simply the difference between
the wages paid in this country and .hs
lower scale paid for the identical worl
abroad, plus the increased hours o
labor there and the shorter hours ii
this country. @ ss @@E &%8
Senator Dixon has returned to ex
plain all this to the people Of Mon
tana, ITO show them that we, too, have
industries to protect. We have no
the same population. nor the millions
invested in manufactures, but ever,
industry we have is protected, just al
is every industry in the east.
It is the protection Of tariff alon,
that makes it possible to charge an,
obtain a higher price, whether it is 10
q manufactured article, or the amour
Of money a man shall obtain week..

Sting to Death 5000 Worth Of

Len Strader lives in the Eagle Noun
tain bakcwoods, in Sullivan County.
Pennsylvania He has always kept
several skips of bees in his yard a
number of valuable hunting doks and
"A pen or two of pigs.
His dog kennels were not far from
where he kept his bees. There had
never been any trouble or sign OF
trouble between the been and the dogs
or pigs so what caused them to take
Offense and pitch into one of the dogs

The bees of one hive came out in

his kennel. and when Suader attempt.

His yells and the wells of the dog
seemed TO arouse the ire of the bees
in the other hive and one swarm after

covered by the furious insects One of
the doge broke his chain and COW
cred with bees ran TO creek near by
into which ne quickly sprang. This
drove the bees from him and this
dog was the only one that escaped
with his life.
The bees seemed to have started out
with the intention of cleaning out the
whole establishment, for after their
work at the dog kenels they turned
their attention to the pigs. There
were two old hogs in one pen and

settled down to its peaceful work.

MOTOR RACING IS
KILLING ITSELF.
Most Fearless of Drivers Declare
IT a Dangerous and Use
less Sport.

London, Sept. 16.-"Motor racing is
killing itself. MIR. w. X. Vanderbilt
is perfectly, right to have done with
it,"
So said to the world correspondent
to-day, Selwyn Francis Edge, one OF
the most famous, as he is one Of the
most intrepid of racin auto drgivers,
man who has won the Gordon Ben
nett cup and countless other trophies
by driving a motor car fast as the
wind--far faster
Auto racing instead of being the
greatest sport in the world, is being
destroyed by the senseless craze for
the high speed; a craze that is not
only terribly dangerous, but absolute
ly useless" Edge continued. Natural
ly the terrific speed developed OF
recent years has. frightened amateur
motorists. Remember that only very
wealthy men can afford to buy and
keep and race the Enormously nigh
power cars that race nowadays. And
very wealthy men, If they have any
sense anr not highly enthusiastic about
taking use ess risk of breaking their
necks. They excuse themselves by
saying. Auto racing is played ouL"
But really they are in funk, they
get cold feet" as american say, and
so prove their good sense
The only way to save motor racing
now is TO limit the size of the cars
engines. A speed of 60 miles an hour
is enough for al purposes surely it
tests the stability of the car, the
strength of the tires and the nerve and
resources of the driver
But suppose" Edge concluded
that there will always be a few
speed maniacs who will have cars OF
higher speed and higher power built.
For my part | think there is scarcely
limit TO tine speed attainable.
"If some millionaire were to lay a
solid rubber track, | believe cars,
with iron tires would be driven over
it at a speed of 200 miles even of 800
mi es, an nour.
Physicians say that no driver
could stand rushing through the air
at this terrific peace, that no human
lungs could endure thesuain. | be-
lieve tnat il would come as easy and
natural TO a mn aas to gradually work
up Il speedfrom II to 20 up to 30 or
40 mi 'es an hour.
But pray it will never come. If
the motorists of America and England
will only agree to limit the size OF
their car engines there is grea flu
ture for auto racing both on the track
and road"
