For instance. Senator Henry F. Lippit.
of Rhode Island. successor to Senator
Aldrich, found himself standing side by
side with Senator La Toilette. of Wiscon-
sin. who recently held Mr.. Lippit up to
the public gaze as a horrible example of
the work of the system in politics.
Senator La Toilette, of course. was
waiting to take the oath for his sec
ond term.
The pompadour statesman was him
self escorted to the Vice Presidents
chair by his colleague. Senator Isaac
Stephenson, of Wisconsin. Ordinarily
they don't speak as they pass by. but
yesterday there was 4 ludicrous effort
to be agreeable and courteo on the
part OF each.
Senator Fry. who is one of the few
members of the old guard left, was in
his seat in the front row. He has been
laid up for several weeks with a sore
foot but, by making a special effort,
managed to attend the opening session.
He apparently had the pleasure OF
meeting his new colleague, Mr.. John
son. for the first time when he walked
slowly over to his desk to escort him
to the front for the oath. It has been al
most half a century since the last
Democratic Senator from New England
stepped forward in the Senate to
TAKE the Odln OF ONCE.
Favorable Comment Heard.
There was a big stir and a craninG of
necks as Senator O'Gorman walked
down the center aisle arm in arm with
Senator Root. The appearance Of New
Yorks two Senators was favorably
commented on by nearly everybody.
Senator O'Gorman's wife and their
seven children. six daughters and one
son. were in the gallery.
The swearing in OF the new Senators
had not been accomplished. however.
without a tilt between two Democratic
members-Bacon of Georgia. and Bailey.
of Texas. Vice President Sherman said
that he found the precedents for the
swearing in of Senators conflicting He
suggested. though, that the rule to he
followed would be first to call the roll
CT. Senators-elect- administer the oaths.
and then proceed to business. Senator
Bailey raised the question as to the pro-
priety of this form of procedure but
finally yielded after Senator Bacon had
remarked that Senator Bailey had served
N the House and had brought over the
traditions and prejudices'' of that body
Just before taking a recess Vice PreSi-
dent Sherman did gracious act toward
= vanuuished political antagonist when
he invited John W. Kern. his rival for
Vice President in the 1903 campaign, to
preside over the Senate. The new Demo-
cratic Senator from Indiana had just
been sworn in. and he was consequently
the first Senator called to the chair in
the SiXty-second Congress. 1t was very
that Vice President Sherman
went out of his way to confer this honor
upon the Indiana Senator, and his con-
duct pleased the Democrats.
The Senate. after taking a brief re
cess. reassembled at . o'clock. but re-
manned in session only about ten minutes
and then adjourned until noon to-day.
No appointments were sent in and no
messages came from the White House.

colleagues that he appreciated the re-
sponsibility imposed on him, Mr.. Clark

in the race OF life and to pamper none
unduly by special favor or privilege. to
reduce the cost of living by Graduating
the enormities and cruelties of the pres

nearly affects the comfort and hap

by cutting down the running expenses OF
the House by more than slSS,O00 per an
num- 1t is our duty to provide every
dollar needed for the proper and econom-
ical conduct of the government, but 1t Is
equally our duty to prevent waste and
extravaganza in public expenditures, for
we should never forget that it is a diff

now in decency and comfort. Surely it
is the part of wisdom, statesmanship. hu-
manitarianism. and patriotism to legislate
so as to reduce their burdens to the min

WOULD MODIFY CLOTURE.
Curtis Aims at Amendment of the
Senate Rules

A move looking to an amendment of
the rules Of the Senate, to permit a mod
flied cloture, was made in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Curtis, of Kansas.
The necessity for it grew out of the
filibuster conducted by Senator Owen, of
Oklahoma, in the closing hours Of the
regular session.
Senator Curtis gave notice of an
amendment to the standing rules by
which. after questions had been consid-
cred for five calendar days and had been
debated for five consecutive hours, any
Senator may move to close the debate
after three hours of further debate and

MESSAGE TO DEAL
WITH TREATY ONLY
President Sets Forth His
Views in Brief Form.

President Taft presented his message
to be sent to the present extra session
Of Congress to his Cabinet yesterday for
consideration. 1t is understood on ad-
vices from the White House that the
message will be confined entirely to Ca
madam reciprocity, and win be unusually
short The President believes that he
has given sufficient publicity to his rea-
sons for desiring the passage of the new
reciprocity bill. and that 1t will be un-
necessary for. him to present any new
arguments to Congress In its favor.
The confinement of the message to reci-
procity will indicate the Presidents de-
sire that Congress wait until 1t receives
the data of the Tariff Commission on the

revision of the present tariff
1t is possible, however, that at the

MUCH WORK ON COL.
0RED PICTURE FILMS

The average Whitefish theatre
EOer, who views the beautiful col
ored films shown at the Orpheum
theatre, has but very little concep-
ton of the great amount Of labor
and difficulties involved in making
one of these films. Each film is
about a thousand feet long and con-
tains 10000 separate pictures, three
quarters by 15-16th Of an inch in
size and when projected on the
screen are magnified 165 times.
Each of these separate pictures
are hand colored. Imagine taking
picture three quarters of all inch
by 15-16th of an inch, brush and
colors and reading glass. Color
that miniature SO that it can be
magnified 165 times and yet every
Slower, every leaf, every face will
be naturally colored and the color
will not run over its proper bound
airy. Now think Of having 5000
pictures of that size on a strip and
having to color every one. The
next time you see one Of these col
ored pictures, just remember how
many distinct photographs you have
looked at in that film, and that eac
one of the multitude is less than an
inch square and colored by hand.

MONTANA HEADS THE
LIST OF CROPS

Some interesting figures are
CLEANED from the December number
of the Crop Reporter" issued I'M
der authority of the secretary of
agriculture. These figures are es-
pecially important when consider
ing that the year 1910 was the dri-
est and poorest Montana has exper-
fenced since it became an agricul-
tural state, while Secretary Wilson's
reports show that the United States
generally produced the largest crop
in its history. The report shows
that the yield of wheat in nine of
the middle west states averaged 16.5
bushels per acre, with an average
value of $14.32. Montana produced
22.0 bushels, valued at 1882. The
average of oats in IL states was
SO.5 bushel, valued at $9.07; in
Montana, $50 bushels, valued at
s16.5S. Barley in ~ states, 1913
bushels. at $12.99; in Montana, $50
bushels, at $17.S6. None of the
states came up to Montana in the
per acre yield of wheat and oats
while in barley Montana was ex-
celled in yield by only three states;
Ohio with 2S.5 bushels, value
S17.1O; Illinois, 30.2 bushels, value,
1851; Iowa, 29.5 bushels, value,
Sl6.53, as against Montana, with
ESQ bushels, but it will be noted
that while those three states slight
ly out yielded us, the crop value of
barley in Montana was $1736. To
sum up, the average acre value of
the three grains in question in the
IL Mississippi valley states is $12-
12 in Montana $17.59. These fig
ures will be very encouraging to
our new settlers, as showing the pos
sibilities of Montana production un-
der anything near favorable crop
conditions.

G. N. TRANSPORTS SEED
GRAIN FREE OF CHARGE

Attorney General Galen handed
down a decision last week that is
of great import to the drought SUI
ferers in the east part of the state.
The Great Northern desires to
transport free of charge between car
rylng points in the state, grain to
be used as seed by destitute fami-
lies along the line of their road
whose crops the past season were
a total failure, and who have not
got the money to pay the regular
tariff for the transportation of the
seed grain, and have applied to the
Montana Railroad for permission to
do this, and they in turn referred
the matter to the attorney general,
who ruled that the company can
lawfully do this philanthropic work.
