course, deplore the veto. To Aldrich and Hale and Scott and Cannon it would be the beginning of the end of the world But what has MT. Taft to gain by signing tariff bill which does not represent hon est revision that will reduce the cost of living to the consumer? The odium will rest largely upon him as the leader of his party The question will remain open The agitation for downward revision will continue. It will be an issue in the con gressional campaign of 1910, and it will probably be the chief issue in the presi- dential campaign of 1912 If a fake tariff revision be then repudiated the most prominent victim will be William Howard Taft.
 Having demanded genuine revision there Is nothing for MT. Taft to do but stand by his principles. Should this in- volve veto of the Payne-Aldrich bill the President need not fear the political con sequences.

such as a continent, and he'd say, T take possession of all this territory and any other territory there may be in this sec ton, in the name of her gracious majes- ty Queen Isabella of Spain, and then de- clare an open season on the original in- habitants and let 1t go at that. There was generosity and a broadness about their way of stating realty proposition that's been used with great success by the people in the same line of business ever since. And look at some of the bargains there've been in this country! Manhattan island was bought from the Indians for $24 and now the cheapest election district in town costs more than that every time there's a democratic pri- mary. A hundred years ago you could get a county in almost any state east of the Alleghanies for considerably less than it's present member In the legislature would cost you-and the county stayed bought.
 'But think it's the generous disinter- ested way that the developers have of putting up realty proposition that lures so many into going into those just-ltke fnding-it companies. I've known men who couldn't ride in a taxicab without giving a convulsive start every time the meter added another dimes worth on, and they always bit their small change to see If 1t was good-and yet they could mt pass up any deal where the noble hearted proprietor advertised that he was working only for the personal satisfac- tion of bestowing large profits upon total strangers.
 You recall what was said of the lover Of mankind who engineered last months little corner in wheat, don't you? Natu- rally we felt mite peevish when wheat went up so high that leaders of society began to talk about wearing it for jew ery to the grand opera instead of dia- monds? When you bought half dozen rolls for the family the baker handed you out something that looked like a set of collar buttons, and when you tried to eat one it slipped up into the side of your mouth and reminded you of a new gum boil. It took two Vienna loaves to equal one f1ve-gran capsule, and the hole in the doughnut grew until there wasn't much difference between swallowing a doughnut and taking deep-breathing ex- ercises But when people chided the gen tlemanly highbinder who was presiding over the corner he explained that he wasn't doing it on his own account.

Not in long while has Missoula

days ago by Curtis A. Mosher, man

Mr.. Mosher has recently finished a
thorough tour of the west. and after
having looked over every one Of the
famous valleys of the west he mas
picked out the Bitter Root as the place
In which to locate. In his official po-
sftion he has the opportunity of sizing
up everything in the way of desirable
ranch lands. His opinion is. for that
reason, Of all the more value to Mis-
souia. and the people of the Bitter Root
should feel proud of the distinction. In

souia Investment company. Mr.

The eyes of feminine America
promise to be pretty steadily fixed on
New York this winter, since from all
Indications this city is bound to be
the storm center in the fight over the
question as to whether or not women
should have the ballot. The campaign
is certain to be lively one. viewed
from any standpoint. While it is
doubtful whether such militant tactics
as have been adopted by the suffra-
gists in England will ever be used
here, since political conditions in the
two countries are SO different. it can
not be denied that the question is re-
ceiving serious consideration-not as
a fad, but as an economic issue.
Nearly 1000 women, members of fe-
male organizations throughout the
city. attended the first meeting OF the
Federated womens' club at the Hotel
Aston this week. and where as in the
past. these gatherings have discussed
matters formally supposed to be of
purely feminine interest, the only sub
ject discussed at this meeting was
that of equal suffrage pro and con
1t seems likely now that this is the
only subject which will receive more
than passing consideration i'm subse-
quent meetings. and the winter, there
fore, promises to be merry one in
the field of feminine politics. With
well-known New York society women
arrayed on each side. To say nothing
of the presence of Mrs. Pankhurst,
the English suffrage leader, the situa-
ton promises all sorts OF interesting
developments.
