SENATOR MYERS IS
QUITE OPTIMISTIC

also has strong following, but
believe shat Wilson has the strong
er following Either can beat
Taft. If the record of the demo-
Gratis in the regular session is as
good as their record in the extra
session the election of a democratic
president next year is absolutely
certain. The democrats through
out the country are hopeful, while
the republicans are on the whole
discouraged. The democratic party
is better united than it ever has
been the republican party is worse
split than it has been since the war,
and l think that the differences be-
tween the insurgents and stand
patters are irreconcilable. They
are countrywide.
Harmon is not talked of as
much as Wilson or Clark. He is
not much in favor. Bryan's oppo-
sition to him is fatal. The senti-
ment of the democrats, in both
houses of congress, is that while
they do not want Bryan to dictate,
they wish to nominate some man
whom he can support cordially. No
one can win with his opposition.
"How do the democrats in the
senate and house regard Bryan?
Do they concede that he was the
originator of the progressive move
ment throughout the country?' he
was asked, and replied !:
"Mr. Bryan received a remarka-
BILE ovation in the democratic house
when congress convened. He was
not on the floor of the senate, but
he met all the democratic senator's.
The sentiment among democratic
members of congress is that Mr..
Bryan is the greatest living demo-
crat and is entitled to more credit
for the progressive movement than
all the rest of the party put togeth-
er. l myself SO regard him.

Stopping a Speculative
Among Railroads

The state supreme court of Wash
ington has probably stopped prac-
tice common among railway COM
panies of condemning land on the
ground that its ownership is neces-
sary to properly carry on their
business as common carriers and
then pass it over to others for
private use. In a recent decision
it was held that this could be done
only where the acquisition was
necessary as part of the COM
pany's business in the interest of
the general public and that the
use for such purpose must be con-
slant. The case went mp from
Spokane, where railway company
condemned piece of land and i'm
mediatelv gave long-term lease
to wholesale concern for ware
house purposes. The man who
was compelled to part with his land
could not see why, if the land was
to be leased for private use, he
should not have had the privilege
of dealing with the party himself,
if he SO desired. He brought suit
for restitution of the land and won
in the courts, as far as taken.

Senator Henry l.. Myers is at his
home in Hamilton for a short visit
before returning to Washington to
look after departmental matters,
and will remain at the capital until
the regular session of congress in
December.
From an extended interview IN
the Western News of Hamilton we
give the following extracts, which
will be of interest to our readers as
expressing not only the views of
The representative of Montana de-
mocracy in congress, but the east
ern sentiment among democrats.
Senator Myers, who was, on the
bench for years before his election
to the United States senate, has no
fear of the power of recall extended
to the Judiciary, which so many
judges and members of the bar op-
pose, and says OH this subject, al
luding to the presidential veto of
the Arizona statehood bill
IT think the president was woe
fully wrong III vetoing it. l have
no objections to the recall of judg-
es. l believe that no honest and
competent judge has anything to
fear from the recall. Oregon and
Oklahon a have the recall, but there
has never been in the history of the
country a Judge recalled. Califor-
mia is going to vote on it and no
doubt Arizona also will. l think
the president was wrong because l
believe that any state has the right
to adopt any constitution that it
wants so long as it provides for a
republican form of government and
does not violate the federal consti-
tution.'
AS to presidential sentiment, the
senator says:
"To begin with, l will say that
there is absolutely no doubt that
Taft will be renominated. He has
the interests back of him and they
will see that he is named. While
democratic sentiment has not crye-
talized, | believe that Woodrow
Wilson will be the democratic NOM
inee. He is my choice. He is
strong in the east and south. He
is Leading in sentiment at this time,
Champ Clark is not far behind. He

Starting a Balky Mule.

One day an old farmer borrowed
a mule from his neighbOr; after he
had finished his work he sent his
fourteen-year-old boy to take it
home. The boy had gone about a
half mile when the mule stopped
and positively refused to 90 any
farther. Alter the boy had almost
pulled his arms off trying to get
him to 90, an old doctor came
along and asked why, my son,
what is the matter with your
mule?"
Why, sir, can't you see, he has
baked" cried the boy.
Well" said the old man, open
ing his case and taking out a bottle
Tabled 'Carbolic Acid we'll see
what we can do for him." and he
poured some of the acid on the
mules back, and in much less time
than it takes to write it the mule
was galloping down the road at a
rate he had never gone before.
The boy looked up in surprise
and said; Doctor, have you got
any more of that stuff
Yes" answered the man.
well, doctor, are you sure you
have got a whole lot more of it?'
he asked.
Il think l have plenty. What
did you want to know for?" he ask,
ed with a smile.

Tbs Power of Little Things.

In a gun factory can be seen a
great bar of steel weighing 500
pounds, s feet in length, and sus-
pended by a very delicate chat n.
Near by is also suspended d COM
mon bottle cork by a silk thread.
The desire is to see whether the
cork can set the steel bar in
motion.
Such an effect seems impossible
Let the cork be swinging gently
against the steel bar, the steel bal
remains motionless. But let it be
done again and again and again
for ten minutes, and lol at the enc
of that time the bar gives evidence
of feeling uncomfortable, a sort o.
nervous chill runs over it. Ter
minutes later and the chill has
been followed by vibrations.
At the end of half an hour thu
great bar is swinging like the pen
dulum of a clock. Great possible
ties are in that little cork as hell
by the single thread. - Chronicle.

Bees Double Stomach.

The bee has two distinct stom-
achs. In the first it stores away
the honey it so induStriously gath
ers up from the flowers until such
time as it is ready to yield it up
while the other stomach is used
simply and solely for digestion pur-
poses. Thus the food and the
honey are never mixed. When the
bee returns to the hive and is ready
to deposit the honey it has gather
ed, it contracts the muscles of the
stomach. in which act the honey is
elected through the mouth AS to
bee food, it is various in kind, con
sisting largely of the honey it SC
patiently makes for others. -Ex.
