or Republican at this time to predict
what the complexion Of the next leg
fslature will be. 1t depends on the
politics of the people who are going
into the state in focks. There Is no
state in the union that is SO uncertain
IN tts state politics. because the DOM
inant power will depend entirely on
the voters who may become citizens.
1t may be Republican or it may he
Democratic. and no one can tell with
any degree of certainty until the cleo
ton ts held. doubt very much II the
Republicans will carry the next legis-
lature. and base this opinion on tho
fact that heretofore there have been
four counties that have controlled the
politics Of Montana. These are Silver
Bow. Missoula. Deer Lodge. and Lewis
and Clark counties. In these counties
the larger cities are located. and in
past elections they have dictated the
election Of United States senator's. But
with great influx Of homeseekers.
whose politics no one knows. it is
hard to say what may happen the next
time legislature is chosen The
agricultural communities will have
something to say
III the legislature should be Demo-
cratic. 1t is my opinion that r. j..
Walsh will be chosen senator. Walsh
is we'll known citizen of Helena,
and probably the leading Democrat OF
that section. believe he would be
the unanimous choice of the legisla-
ture."
THE south's greatest asset in the
industrial development which has be-
gun is its climate" said Thomas r.
Lyon. business man of Chattanooga,
Tenn.
1T is great advantage over the
enabled to employ labor cheaper and
to get better work out of its labor
ers. This is because the working peo-
pie of the south arc not Obliged to
spend SO much money for clothing
and for the other necessaries of life.
Every section of the south is still rich
!; In natural resources. and because we
can get cheaper labor it is reasonable
that with our resources we should in
few years take the lead in Industrial
development. Men who ought to know
say that the Birmingham district is
the richest iron section in the world,
and ! do not doubt that in time Bir-
mingham will dictate the price of |
steel instead of Pittsburg.
Labor. of course. is a problem, but
we are solving it satisfactorily. For
eign labor. In my opinion, never will |
be able to compete with the negro.
While the negro will not work stead
lily he works harder and better. The
Italian laborer is a steady worker.
He will work every day in the year
and live on little, but he will not |
work as effectively as the negro be-
cause, while the latter is not SO faith
full. he accomplishes more than the
Italian or representatives of other ma
tionaltties, for the reason that he is
in better physical condition. A negro
will work perhaps ITS days in the
year. When he has labored for few
days he knocks off and spends the
money he has earned at the commits
sary. But he gains strength thereby
and is able when he does go to work
to do full days work. The negro
of the south; while at work. is worth
two or three foreigners"
IF there is any insurgent move
ment amongi the Republicans of ver-
mont / know nothing about It," said
E. &C. Bass. Of the University of YER
mont. But inasmuch as am not a
politician, it is not surprising that
should not know.
THE University of Vermont, which
is one of the Oldest educational insti-
buttons of New England, has gradu-
atcd some distinguished men, Jacob
Collamer, who was President Taylor's
postmaster general. was graduate of
the University of Vermont. Before he
became the postmaster general he
was United Statets senator. Fred
erick Billings, noted as one of the
railroad. was another graduate. John
A. kasson. an authority on interna-
tional law, who is resident of Wash
ington. is the oldest surviving gradu-
ate OF the university. He was gradu-
ated in 1912. Washington has many
residents who were graduated at the
University Of Vermont. President
Buckham, who was member of the
class of 1851, is now the president of
the university, and Is the last remain
ing member Of his class. Now that
President Eliot. of Harvard, and An
gell. Of the University of Michigan,
have retired. President Buckham is
the oldest college president in point
of service. He has been president of
the University Of Vermont for thirty
nine consecutive years.
Vermont has had an unusually
cold winter" added Mr.. Bass. when
left there was three feet of snow
in the woods. 1t has been one of |
the dr:eat and most healthful winters
VIZ have Known in New England in
many years."
THE extent to which the aeroplane
is being popularized in this country
is amazing" said Glenn H. Curtiss, Of
Hammondsport. N. Y. ut has become
evident that almost every one is ELI
gfble 10 become an aviator, and that
the operation of an aeroplane, while
