BY THOUSANDS
Northern Pacific Reports Heavy
Colonist Business

Ninety-five thousand four hundred
people have visited the Northern Pacific
Exhibit Car, which has been on tour
;of the middle states since the first of last
December. During that time the car has
Deen moved from point to point exhib.
,jting at 4 different town each day.
Of the 95,400 visitors, 10000 have reg.
istered their names and addresses. and
.bave indicated an interest in some of the
states through which the Northern Pa
arifc extends.
The value of this exhibition work can
scarcely be estimated, but it is already
icing felt in the large number of col
onists and settlers who are moving
through the Twin City and Billings gate
ways into the Northwest on the low rates
now in effect. The Northern Pacific is
carrying extra equipment every day for
the accommodation of homeseekers.
The exhibit car will continue it's trav-
els until about the first of June, accord
ing to present plans, covering Indiana,
Michigan and Ohio during that time.

Texas Warm Presidential Contest

In no state will there be warmer standup fight within the democratic party over next years presidential nomination than in Texas, and Sena- tor Culberson's declaration in favor of a presidential preference measure is regarded as the opening of the campaign.
 Senator Bailey favors the nomina- tion of Harmon for president, of him. self for senator, and of Governor Col quit for governor. Senator Culber- son, on the other hand, leads the pro- gressive democrats of the state, who desire to see Woodrow Wilson nomi- mated. The Culberson plan for presidential preference primary must be carried, if at all, within the party, for the legislature which sits bi-en- nially does not meet again until No vember, 1912, and Governor Colquitt, who is Bailey supporter, would not call an extra session in order to pro vide for a presidential preference primary. If the delegates of Texas are to be instructed whom they shall support in the convention, it must come about through the party ma chinery, and at present the Bailey Colquitt machine is in full control of it. Senator Culberson and his fol- lowers will attempt to upset the ma chine, and the battle will be watched in all parts of the country.
 It is conceded that both Speaker Clark and Mr. Underwood have many friends in Texas, but owing to sena- torial leadership the battle bids fair to be fought out between Harmon, backed by Senator Bailey, and Will son, backed by Senator Culberson. It will be a battle somewhat warmer than any other state will witness, and it will perhaps be as decisive as it will be warm.

At and Above Squaw Shoals

The new law relating to Lock No. IT in the Warrior river does not or der the secretary of war to contract for dam at that point 63 feet high it simply authorizes him to do so if he becomes convinced it is the bet ter plan.
 Major Flagler, the district en- gineer, is opposed to the proposition. He does not think it would hasten the improvement of the river. He favors 21 foot dam at Lock IT, and 42 foot dam at Lock IS.
 "There is room,' says the Mobile Register, flor the accommodation of conflicting opinions. All parties seem to favor a damming of the river to a height equal to 63 feet. The sena- tors, with the approval of the govern ment engineers, as they state, favor one dam of 63 feet, and the district government engineers favors two dams, collectively, of that height. It is to be hoped that they can get to- gether on some one. good plan, which should not be difficult, as both sides have the same object in view"
 The matter will be settled by Sec retary of War Stimson, whose dis cretion is widened by the bill passed at the extra session. Major Flagler is an officer of high reputation, and he will no doubt present his side of the case at Washington. Upon the decision of the war secretary depends the height of Lock IT, although no one denies that an aggregate fall ot s3 feet in the river near the junction of the forks should be overcome.

 August weather The honey breathing heather lay to

 feet seemed to float on The air like soft twin pigeons too sportisc
 to alight. -"Oh, what is that in heaven where gray
 cloud flakes are seven, Where blackest clouds hang riven just

Francisco Madero's Platform

A convention made up of 1900 dele gates free to speak and to act as to them seemed best has actually met in Mexico, and constructed a plat form and placed presidential candi- dates on 1t. This is a new departure m Mexico, and Madero deserves a great deal of the credit. As things are going in that country it may yet acquire self government. It may be- come government of the people, by the people, for the people, and that is rather more than this country pos sesses at all times.
 The platform adopted calls for many reforms. Under it President could not at the end of his term of six years secure reelection. The system of taxation is to be revised. The work of the free brigade is to be eliminated, and the public schools are to be increased and improved. The condition of the laboring man is to be bettered. Manual training schools are to be established and the person. mel of the national railroads is to be Mexicanized. The deported Indians are to be brought home.
 It will be seen that Mexico needs many reforms, and the Mexican peo- pie seem to be convinced that Ma dero, the idealist, is the man of the hour. His election in October is con- sidered assured, and if he can estab- fish the reforms called for by the platform of the progressive party which he leads, he will do more for Mexico than Diaz did.

From the Providence Journal.
 "If the President is willing to give honest just and fair relief to the Amer lcan people the democratic Congress is willing to uphold his hands, as we did in the instance of the reciprocity pact But if we are to be told to pass restric- tive, prohibitive tariff bills that are only a makeshift and not a revision down. ward we will carry this great question to the American people and confidently await their verdict"
 MT. Underwood's leadership Of the ma jority in the House has made so good an impression. 1t has demonstrated so effectually statesmanlike qualities which are not so common as they should be among public men, that this promise Of support for an adequate policy of tariff revision. if the President chooses to ven- ture upon it, will be received with gen eral qualification and confidence. To be sure, something depends upon the defini- ton of what is honest, just and fair re-
 lief" It would be difficult. for example, to square the principle of a tariff for protection mainly with the principle of a tariff for revenue mainly. The Presi- dent himself has somewhat confused his position by utterances which are at least superfcially contradictory. Yet even he has admitted on occasion that revenue must be the chief consideration, and he has protested against a Chinese wall of restriction of trade. Moreover, as MT Underwood says, he was sufficiently in accord with the democrats to win their votes for the Canadian reciprocity agree ment It seems as if there need not be any insuperable obstacle to similar union of forces in giving the people genuine revision downward.
 We wait with patience, says MT. Un- derwood, flor the Presidents message next December" In other words, the majority in the House will not begin the session with any feelings of animosity toward the President for his vetoes of their own tariff bills. The slate will be wiped clean, as far as they are con- cerned This, at least, is Mir. Under woods view of the situation. It is en- titled to respect by reason of his suc- cess as leader during the session just ended. There is no ground for assuming that his authority will be diminished when Congress meets again, or that a now well organized party will then be- come an undisciplined mob Undoubted- ly no tariff legislation that the President is likely to recommend would be wholly satisfactory to Mir. Underwood and his followers. Sharp divergences of opinion
 would be well nigh inevitable. But a com- promise on principles would be perfectly | feasible Such action would not, of course. take the tariff out of politics. But it would at least mark the beginning of
 tariff revision on the broad lines of eco- homie policy, and make the debates some
 thing more than partisan disputes.

Shingles Relic of the Past

Jackson, Mississippi, has decided to prohibit the placing of new shingle or board roofs, and like problem is before the commissioners of this city The lumber companies do not, for obvious reasons, favor the reform, but President Barnett of one of our lumber companies frankly admits that the proposed change in roofs should be adopted. Fireproof roofing is, he admits, the more economical in the long run, and he adds, "I do not propose to stand in the way of the best interests of the people of Bir- mingham by advocating the continu- ed use of the wooden shingle simply because I am making some money sailing them"
 The appreciation of the dangers to both life and property of wooden roo4y is increasing in all parts of the country, and the Providence Journal calls upon New England cities to use non-combustible materials for roofing only.
 This question should really be de cided upon an unselfish and patriotic basis. Mir. Barnett's stand is the

UNDERWOOp's LEADERSHIP N-..l,-;Ito Ronnor

From the NaShVilIe Banner.
 Congressman Gillett of Massachusetts, upon his return from Washington to his home in Springfield, making some public comment upon the recent session of Con- gress and its work, said one of the nsost striking features of the session was the sudden rise of MT. Underwood of Ala bama to national fame. He said that while MT. Underwood had previously been prominent in the House, he was not given to sensational and spectacular methods of advertising himself, but when by reason of seniority of service he be- came chairman of the ways and means committee he rose splendidly to his op- portunity and evinced the qualities of wise and successful leadership to de- gree that overshadowed Speaker Clark as an influence in the House In this re- spect MT. Gillett raises the question whether the speakershp under the new rules has been shorn of its long estab- lished power of control, or whether the demonstrated influence of MT. Underwood is due to his stronger personality. It certainly has occupied the center of the stage and has been the real force as a leader of the majority In the House.
 Commenting upon this the Springfield Republican contends, as the Banner has
 repeatedly contended, that the real leadership of the majority in the House should be upon the floor. Says the Re publican;
 This would be highly desirable de- velopment, for 1t would put an end to confusion of the properly Judicial func- tions of the presiding officer with those of the party chief. The office would not however, be purely ''ornamental,'' for it's functions would still be very import ant and in the degree in which the oc- cupant might by custom come to be look ed upon as a non-partisan official its dignity would increase. The speakershiT of the English house of commons carries with 1t infinitely less power than ths | speakership of our House of Representa- lives has done in the past. but yer,
 much more dignity. The proper place for the party leader. it cannot be too of l ten repeated, is on the floor and not ir the seat of the presiding officer. Wher | the revolution is fully accomplished thu conduct of the public business in thu House will be open to less suspicion O secret coercion than twas in the day

Refused a Senatorship

Senatorships do not, as a rule, go a begging, but down in Maine Gov ernor Plaisted, a democrat, offered the seat made vacant by the death of Mr. Frye to William Dewitt Hyde, president of Bowdoin college, and MT. Hyde refused to accept the ap- pointment. The appointee would have had a year from March 4 next to serve.
 Dr. Hyde would have made an ideal senator. He has an abundance of culture and yet he has proven to be practical and efficient executive. Bowdoin is more prosperous than ever before and each year brings an increased enrolment.
 The senate should contain more profound scholars than it does, and it is regretable that Dr. Hyde pre- ferred to stay with the college he has greatly strengthened, rather than serve in the United States senate, even for a limited period The coun- try needs men like Dr. Hyde, and few indeed of such men are willing to enter political contests. President Hyde would not, however, accept a senatorship by appointment, which involved not even an application for the place. The place sought the man and the man was unwilling. The more's the pity.
