has been in charge of the student work
of the Y. NJ. c. A. among Cinnamon in
the United States. He attended Yale
College for two years and also was a
student in Ann Arbor, Mich. He was
student in Japan for long time and
in charge of the work among Cinnamon
in that country. Wang is to be the In
ternational Secretary of the Y. M. c. A.
in China. and within the next few weeks
is to leave for the Orient. This being
the case. he went to the Y. M. c. A.
Building in this city. and was housed in
should leave the city, which is the ordi-
nary proceeding among Y. NJ. c. A. men
when they can find Y. M. G. A. dormi-
| tory in a city. Immediately the men
roomiDg on the floor with Wang began
to raise Cain. They classed Wang with
negros and japanese. and thought that
racial barriers were being let down, and
so filed a protest 1t was discovered
! however. just whom Mr.. Wang is, and
that he ranked them in ability and in
position, and so they drew in their
| horns, and Mr.. Wang is permitted to
retain his rooms at the Y. NJ. c. A The
way these young upstairs prance
griddle every time dark-siSinned per-
son crosses their pathway is sure
enough to make one laugh.
Hes liar; that is ALL" said Mr.
Mondell, who was talking so loud that
Mr.. WickerSham overheard it.
You are a liar if you say that" re-
sponded Mr.. Wickersham, jumping
across the aisle and making a swing for
the Wyoming members face.
This little exchange of sweet person
alities did not take place in Washing
toms tenderloin, but in the big white
house on the hill, known as the Ma
tional Capitol, and while the House OF
Representatives was in session under
ness. The exchange of adjectives took
place between Mr.. Mondell, of Wyo-
ming, and Delegate Wickersham, of
Alaska. There was a whole lot more
to it, but both gentlemen, after the bat
tie was over and their friends had
yanked them apart, apologized, and the
next day were lunching together 1t
was just simply a case of letting ones
temper get away with one.
And after all 1t was black horse.
man who had never been heard tell of
before in connection with politics and
whose name had never been suggested
to the Montana Senate until the Legis-
lature was voting for the 9th and last
time for United States Senator from
Montana to succeed Thomas H. Carter
was elected. Henry L. Myers now
Judge of the District Court of Reville
County. Mont, is the man. He received
every Democratic vote, total of So,
against As for Carter and three scatter
ing Republican votes. Mr.. Myers is
said to be a native of Missouri. He
went from Missouri to Montana in 1892.
In 1894 he was elected County Attorney
and was reelected in 1896. That same
year he was sent to the State Senate.
He was appointed Judge in 1907 and
reelected as Judge in 1908. His name
was suggested by one of the Western
Montana delegation on the 9th ballot,
and Immediately members who had
been voting for others voted for Judge
Myers. He is about the darkest horse
ever elected under that name. That he
has been living in Montana for some 20
years and has been successful goes to
prove that he is good deal of a man.
He is young, only about As years of age,
married, and has one daughter, who
will probably be one of the society buds
in year or two. He will succeed Unit
ed States Senator Carter.
Gum Shoe BILL" otherwise known
as the Senator from Missouri and now
known as the senior" Senator from
Missouri has broken loose in another
of the United States on ruling in the
Senate the other day, and practically
called him a liar. tho in extremely par
Iiamentary language. When the Vice
President very quietly ruled against
him, Senator Stone. yelling at the top
of his voice and handling his desk like
a blacksmith would an anvil, denounced
it as an unjust ruling. Vice President
Sherman, with a light tap with his
ivory gavel, said quietly, but with ''al-
mighty firmness, 1.-The Senator will
please observe order" and the Senator
observed it. He just sat down and OBJ
served it.
Doesn't Like Sabbath Dissertation.
Mr.. Justice Harlan, Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. rather startled society women of
Washington and New York the other
night when at the annual banquet of
the Presbyterian Alliance of Washing
ton he declared that there are a lot of
snobs who have come down here from
New York aud other cities where wealth
is paramount and have set up customs
which are injurious to the people of
this community. Sunday afternoon teas,
musicaIes and other social functions
are. in my mind, a Dissertation of the
Sabbath. The power of the Presbyte-
rian Alliance is great, and it should be
eXerted toward the correction of these
evil practices.
Il am much pleased with the great
work the Alliance has done in this city
SO far, but / believe its influence should
extend further. Something must be
done to stem the tide of depravity
which will otherwise sweep over u.s.
Then this sweeping rebuke to society
in Washington Is in measure firmly
upheld by Mrs Mathew T. Scott, Presi-
dent General of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and herself one of
the cliff dwellers' set. And be IL known
the cliff jewellers are not the official set
at all, but the old resident set of Wash
ington. Until you have been admitted
to that particular circle you are not
really lin society" Mrs. Scott says:
Il think it is an outrage that SO
many OF the leaders of society here
should desecrate Sunday by giving large
teas, dinners. musicales and other en-
tertainments. The custom was brought
here from the continent, and has been
growing ever since. If allowed to con-
tinue it will undermine the life of this
country and bring ruin on us. I think
that Sunday should be observed above
all else, and that this continental habit
should be stopped. / agree perfectly
with Justice Harlan in all he said"
Mr.. Justice Harlan in slamming New
York society was just a little wide of
