Progress and the Session.

The House is making excellent prog
ress. To be sure, it is dealing with
warmed lover stuff. Popular election OF
senators and publicity for campaign con-
1ributionS were easily disposed of. Both
were old topics, and neither afforded an
opportunity for a word of unusual inter
est from anybody. In that particular
reciprocity Is like unto them. 1t is well
understood, and need not consume time.
1t is making some strange bedfellows,
but that is not surprising. So do many
policies.
When the new free list is reached, and
when the Arizona constitution with its
recall provision comes up, things should
be liveler. Discussion should be more
protracted. Both subjects are full OF
matter appealing to men fond Of debate
and with something to say. The one
opens up the tariff question in more than
its agricultural phase, and the other is
important because of its relation to the
judiciary. The Presidents doubt as to
the recall proposition Is shared by many
men in both parties
But what progress will the Senate
make? Interest centers there. 1t is in
the Senate that the "sassing match is
expected. 1t is in the Senate that the
way is clear for a match of that kind.
The rules favor it. The party divisions
there favor 1t. The leaders of the fac
tions-there are four factions, two in
each party-are aggressive men of abil-
ity represented as anxious to come to
close grips over the points at issue Men
of the Bailey stamp and men Of the
Stone stamp on the democratic side. and
men Of the Lodge stamp and men of
the Cummins stamp on the republican
side, are Of the kind to dispute the way
energetically with all opponents. They
have records to maintain and the future
TO consider. Mr.. Cummins Is included
among the presidential possibilities.
Real war, then, has yet to begin. The
unexpected may happen. There pay be
no war worthy OF the name. Strong
pressure is being brought to bear to
prevent 1t. Senators on both sides are
feeling 1t. The harmony in the House
IL held up before the democrats asl most
worthy Of emulation, while the repub-
1icans are adtured to consider the Presi-
dent as the party's leader. and be wise.
But II the pressure fails there should
be a battle royal. The men are there
competent for the work. The topics are
worthy Of their attention. The country
Is keyed up. The time is propitious for
q struggle. This is an of year in the
matter Of national elections. Neither the
House nor the presidency is in the i'm
mediate scale. though the next contest as
to both may be affected by what Is now
done or left undone. Hence the incentive
to have it OUT while there is nothing
else on the cards.
Mr. Bryan has looked in on the scene
once, and. 1t is said, may return. The
selection Of Mr.. Martin for minority lead
,er in the Senate greatly displeased him,
and he is deeply solicitous about the sit
uation there. II real war comes, Mr.
Bryan, 1t is predicted, will find time
between his lecture engagements to come
back and hearten his followers with q
lew more suggestions.

Commission System in the East.

The ee.nmission plan Of city govern
ment Is travelling east. Representatives
OF twenty-four New. Jersey cities have
conferred and appointed a committee to
draft q bill allowing cities to institute
the commission government and to press
the question upon the legislature. There
were a few days ago in the United States
ia cities reported as commission cities,
and as the list is frightening steadily the
number today may exceed ia. The most
prominent and the largest Of these com.
mission cities are Oakland. CAL: Mem

Japan and Mexico.
From the Philadelphia Press.

It is difIicult to deal patiently with the
harebrained sensat.onallsts who are re-
sponsible for keeping alive the absurd
story that our government is preparing
for war with japan. 1t is difficult to dis
cuss dispassionately the folly OF attach
ing to such a story the slightest weight.
For, whatever their immediate purpose
may be, the result of such efforts. If they
could make serious impression upon
the minds Of our people. could only be to
embroil us with friendly power to an
extent which would at, the least gravely
complicate our foreign relations and
might involve us in war

Theory of Colds.

The world Is getting new conception
Of one Of its commonest ailments-the
cold. This common enemy has made
everybody sneeze and wheeze, blow and
cough. 1t has roughened or silenced at
one time or another nearly every voice
In the land. 1t has made all eyes and
noses red. 1t has made the ears ring and
the bead ache. 1t has stined the sense
of smell and paralyzed the sense of taste.

Now April, with complete disdain,
Displays her moods In every place.
The poor thermometer in vain
Endeavors to keep up the pace.
One day warm zephyrs lightly float
And next sullen sky you scan,
And as you don your overcoat
You also grab a palm leaf fan.
You think that you ere long will wear
A hat Of straw; and next you fear
That you must have with cunning care
A muff adjusted to each ear. .--.
And when toward wooded heights you
make
A journey. lured by poisoning charm.
You wonder If you'd better take
Some snowshoes underneath your arm.

Bonner county people are seriously
considering the matter of bonding the
county for $4,000, to build two main
roads through the county. one north and
south and the other east and west from
Cabinet, Montana, to Newport.
The Standpoint papers are leading in
the discussion of the proposal, and are
publishing interviews with many of the
leading citizens and taxpayers, and
practically all are in favor of the plan
1t is said that the commissioners of the
county view the matter favorably, and
will call an election for the purpose o,
authorizing the bonds if the people
evince sufficient interest.
1t is argued, and correctly. that the
building of the roads would open up and
develop the country more rapidly thar
ANYTHING else that could be done. This

west that have tackled the huge roac
problem in this manner.
