Senator Myers home is at Hamil-
ton, Ravalli county. where he is judge

The election of Judge Myers came
as a democratic close to one of the
most exciting days ever witnessed at
the state house.
The election of democratic senator
was due solely to the action of Rom

lican from Missoula in declining to
support motion made at 5:40 to adj

voted for by every republican and
three democrats, enough to carry il
by one vote. Before the result was

republican side greeted the announce
ment OF Higgins change. Immediately
afterward the three democrats also
changed their vote.

economy. From the beginning of his
term, President Taft has been urging
economy and putting it into practice,
and now the Democrats are engaged
in the work.
Over in Portugal, where eXtrava-
gance had been brought to fine art,
the officials of the new republican
form Of government are pondering
over the various forms of economy
that will convince the people that no
mistake was made in abandoning
King Manuel and the old form of
government AS usual, the pendulum
knows no moderation.
The new conditions that is being
considered by the cabinet of the pro-
visional president provides for an as
sembly Of 235 members, which shall
elect a president for five years. While
this would seem to indicate re-
luctance to- embrace all the forms
that go with the average republic,
including the election of a president
by the people, probably they feel that
1t will contribute toward the general
scheme Of economy.
Probably the most interesting fea-
ture of the program is the provision
for cheapening and simplifying the
administrative services. 1t is pro-
posed to dispense with a foreign
minister and with plenipotentiaries
abroad. leaving consuls to do the di-
plomatic work. Whether such a
scheme will be feasible. will depend,
not merely on the feeling of the peo-
pie in Portugal, but upon the attitude
Of other nations.
1t is a serious question whether
diplomats negotiating with Portugal
would be willing to act with the con-
sular agents. The question of dignity
would enter largely into this matter.
Probably the idea of Portugal is to
send special ambassadors to conduct
any negotiations of consequence, but
until these details have been an
nounced the diplomatic world will
withhold judgment on the proposed
innovation.

NOVELTIES IN WAR GAME
Uprising in Mexico Is Adding to
the Gayety Of the Nations With
Its Thrilling Near Battles.

Down in Texas, on the shores of
the Rio Grande, they have discovered
"a new and delightful thrill. Aero
planning has lost its novelty. Nobody
talks about getting up an automobile
race. Around Ell Paso and vicinity
now the sharpest publicity agent
might have difficulty in inducing q
crowd to come to Johnson-J Jeffries

bullfighting have became stale and
antiquated.
The sport-loving inhabitants of the
Texas border are to be envied, be-
cause down there they have 4 real

fort and safety. Texas society has
gone out to the game on several aft
ernoons and has returned to declare
1t perfectly fascinating. In airship
gazing there is only the chance Of
seeing a long, thin aviator slide of
his seat and perhaps break his con-
tract, or in extreme cases his neck.
In prize fighting there is merely a
small likelihood of seeing somebody
knocked cold for few brief seconds.

on-lookers could see them pouring
out their life blood in defense Of their
country-"their" country by courtesy,
since Prexy Diaz is said to have
most of it fenced of for himself or
otherwise in charge of his own pri-
vate supervisors.
The hillside spectators were as in
suited as IL they had paid SO seat
at a ringside where a couple Of heav-
weight were to murder each other
and found themselves confronted by
couple Of buttonhole makers who
were afraid to slap each other.
So while the dashing federals were
retreating determinedly toward Juar-
ez the spectators stood up in their
seats and yelled across the river:
Come on aud fight, you fat greas-
ers! Whadja think we come out here
,for?"
Knowing the tendency of an Ameri-
can sporting crowd to vent it's feel
1ngs In no uncertain terms 1--WE .can
almost imagine the following cries
being hurled across the river while
the two armies are reconnoitering
and keeping wary eye out for a
possible flank attack: "
BE keerful how you handle that
bayonet,, Jean Sebastian de Amonta-
dillo! You'll be putting your eye out
with It,"
Stand up and shoot, Ramon Cult
errez! Whaddoyou think that gun is
for? To use for a crutch?"
Jump in and fight 'em of, you big
stiffs! Charge! Charge! Stare some-
thing. Don't stand there and go. to
sleep In your tracks,"
However, the dispatches say that to
all these disrespectful remarks the
FEDERAL commanders paid no atten-
ton. They were firm in their resolve
not to sacrifice the lives of their
horses needlessly, two or. three of
which had already been ruthlessly
slain by the rebel shareholders.
Correspondents on the scene de-
clare that an efficient system of
calisthenics has been introduced into
the federal army. BY this system a
1eoeral soldier, as soon as he hears
shot, falls to the ground as IL dead.
This causes the enemy to think that
sufficient slaughter has been done
and to turn their rifles in another d.
rection.
After each days battle, it is relat-

THE WEATHER AND THE LAW.

A decision rendered at the appel
late term Of the supreme court in
New York has served to limit the re-
sponsibilities of the individual with
respect to weather conditions, and at
the same time to vindicate the much
abused weather bureau in at least
one particular. A verdict for $500
had been given in the municipal court
in favor of Amedo Gianopaolo against
an Italian banker, upon whose icy
steps the plaintiffs wife had slipped
to her hurt. The records of the
weather bureau showed that rain and
sleet. had fallen for two days before
the accident, and that the temperature
was low enough to cause the mixture
to CONCEAL. The higher court con-
cluded that under such circumstances
the plaintff was not responsible for
the condition of his stoop, and ac-
cordingly reversed the verdict.
That the weather bureau has come
into harmonious relationship with
the law and aided in the Just settle
ment of disputed cases through it's
records is no new thing. Not only
damage suits, sometimes involving
large sums. have been decided by it's
statistics, but cases of alleged Grim
inality, in which human life was at
stake, have more than once been set

peal to its carefully compiled state
ments, which are accepted in court
as unquestionable documentary evil
dence on all disputed points regard

for the future may at times fail of
ful1llment. There are times when,
as with the best laid plans of mice
and men, the hopes of the forecaster
are overthrown, as the storm center
shunts nor nor west, instead of SOU
west by SOU, and the rain falls upon
the unjust instead Of the just In con-

greater than its common enemy, the
public, gives credit for, while it's

TWO RECIPROCITY VOTES.

procity bill in the house Friday
might had more than passing interest
for the opponents Of the nefarious
scheme. Two votes have been taken
on the measure in the house within
two months but by different con-
crosses. On the first vote February
IA, there were seventy-eight Repub-
lican votes cast against the measure,
exactly the same number cast against
1t by Republicans last Friday. This
similarity Of number is a mere CO.
incident, as the membership Of the
house was changed when congress
convened in extra session April 4.
Every Republican member Of the
house who voted against the bill on
February 15, and who was reelected
to the new congress voted against
the measure last Friday. Thirty
eight Republican members who were
opposed to the international swindle
were reelected and every one voted
against the bill which passed the
house last Friday Twenty Republi-
cans who voted for reciprocity in
February voted against it last Friday.
Twenty new members who were not
in the house in February voted
against it last Friday.
Summed up, the opponents of the
agreement held every Republican
member of congress who was against
the scheme two months ago. They
converted twenty members who vot-
ed for it in February but who voted
against it in April. They secured
twenty of the new members who
came into congress when the present
session began.
When the measure was before the
house in February, five Democrats
voted against it. Three of these five
were reelected to the new congress
and all three voted against the bill
last week. One Democrat who voted
for the bill in February voted against
It in April. Six new Democratic
members voted against it last Friday.
This analysis Of the comparative
votes on the bill shows how the an
ti-reciprocity sentiment is growing
as the truth becomes known. Com
pairing the vote of April with that of
Wohr,,n1sy oa q y,,oano %or S3o$o,,,,{ {x, }x q.
public sentiment, It shows that the
Republican strength on the basis Of
the February vote would be the sew
enty-edght votes cast against it then,
plus the twenty old members who
changed. plus the twenty new men,
bers who voted against the bill, max
ing total Republican strength Of
one hundred and eighteen. The Demo-
cratic strength now on basis of the
February vote would be the five
votes cast for the measure. plus the
one old member who changed his
vote, plus the six new members who
voted against the bill last week, max
ing total Of twelve votes. This ad-
ded to the comparative Republican
strength would make q grand total
Of one hundred thirty compared
with one hundred forty-thrse votes
by which the bill was passed.
In view of the fact that a combi-
nation In favor of the bill now exists
between Republican president with
his patronage power, and a Demo-
cratic house with it's favors to men,
bers, the advocates of the hold-up
game against the farmers. would
seem to have really gotten black
eye.
