So express themselves when IA,
question again comes before the
people. The prohibiuonists
themselves are greatly surprised
at the strength Of their vote, and
the ants are equally amazed and
startled at the dwindling of their
boosted plurality.
Two years of bitterest agita.
ton and controversy lie before
us. FL Paso Herald.
The above coming from the
editor Of an anti paper, sounds
rather queer, though we believe
that what he says is to a large
degree the truth, and will be
hard to get around. The vic
tory that the ants have won
(stole) is only temporary. The
people of Texas, who voted with
the prohibitionists are not salts

the fight is just begun. and the
end will be a decisive victory for
the prohibition people. 1t may
take several wears to do this but

THEY WILL LEARN
NOTHING

Sentiment in Texas 5 strongly
for prohibition. This is tru,
even though the face Of the re.
turns gives the ants a plurality.
IL IS safe 10 say that there were
thousands more illegal and frau
dulent votes cast on the anti side
than on the pro side, for the anti
side in most OF the larger COM
munlties had control Of the ma
chinery and command the active
assistance Of most of the expert
enced and INSCRIPTIONS political
workers. The saloon element
and the political factions nearest
10 II are used 10 employing crook
ed methods in elections. while
the unorganizei prohibitionists
are comparatively noyices at that
game and could not win at il
even with the disposition to use
questionable methods.
II the count shows 5000 plu-
rality for the ants. Il is safe %
say that. II the fraudulent votes
were thrown out, the prohibition
lists would be thousands ahead.
The saloon crowd do not know
how b fight fair when their in
terests are directly al stake. and
wnile scores or thousands of law
abiding and reputable men voted
against prohibition as a matter #
principle or against IL as being
an impractical policy, still these
law abiding and reputable men
would not for a moment attempt
10 excuse crooked work by the
organized saloon and brewery
interests and the political ma
chimes dependent upon them.
The result Of this election is
temporary victory for the ants,
but il does not end the fight il
only begins il, in fact. The pros
have their temper up now. they
will continue to control the legis-
lature, they will force another /
submission. and they will win.
They talk Of contesting this cleo 1

deceiying themselves into think
ing that this election result is in
some way favorable 10 them and
70 a continuation Of the old
regime.
Rigid regulation, if il could be
had. would be a better plan for
Texas at this time than statewide
prohibition; we have local option
and We have slrict laws. but the
laws are not obeyed by the aver
age saloon keeper if he can in
any way successfully evade
obedience. The present license is
too low, and many liquor dispen-
Saries manage 10 escape paying
anything 10 the state. county. or
city. Public authorities are too
often in league with lawless
saloon proprietors. and the saloon
men who try 20 obey the law
often find themselves at a serious
disadvantage. The great growth

Our Sympathy

It's too bad the sad fate Of the
people who left the plains country
last spring. They thought theS
were doing the wise thing when
they left the country. They sup
posed they could go right back
from the section they came from
anu in a little while make a
pocket full Of money. never once
figuring on the drawbacks and
drouth they might encounter.
They had gone through with the
trials and tribulations of building
up a new country. and Of course
when the shades Of a declining
year popped in view they felt
that the country was gone. and
would never come back. But
they found after leaving that
they had ran into a most distruc-
tive drouth and as a result their
crops have been burned to a crisp.
their money all spent and a very
anxious feeling 10 get back to the
plains country. Our sympathy
goes out TO them for not being
here to share with US the growing
Of bumper feed crop. and taking
hand in the first step toward
he greatest advancement the
country has ever made.
But we stand with out stretch
d arms TO welcome back the
'eople who have left, and We be-
ieve when they come this time
hey will have come TO stay
hereford Recorder.

THE PRIEST AND
THE TELEPHONE

Bishop John P. Carroll of the
Catholic diocese of Helena is not
averse to telling a little joke at the
expense of the clergy. The follow
ing story is credited to him:
A priest had installed an auto
mactic telephone and had a branch
line run to the home of his hired
man. Patrick, who had never used
a telephone before. had an idea
that when he talked over the tele-
phone he had to shout at the top Of
his voice. The result was that
while Pat could hear the priest. Pat
shouted so loud that the father could
not understand a word. II can't
hear you Pat" said the priest. Pat
screamed louder than ever. II
can't hear you," repeated the priest
Pat shouted again. The priest
couldn't hear, 1.-THE ould FOOLS

tones, II heard you that time, said
the father.-Santa Star Mirror.

For the development and care
Of the national parks the secretary
Of the interior has asked congress to
appropriate the sum Of $7s1,0so.60,
An increase Of $617.s30.61 over the
appropriations for the current fiscal
year. The national parks cousti
tute ideal recreation grounds for
the people, but their development
and use are seriously retarded
by the lack of adequate roads and
trails, and until sufficient money is
appropriated for beginning a COM
prehensive plan of development the
parks will fall far short of render
ing the important public use for
which they are intended.
The general public interest in
these pleasure grounds is shown by
the fact that in list recently is
sued by the Department of the In
terror $50 magazines articles on the
parks are enumerated. 1t is the in
tention of the Department to make
the principal places of interest in
the parks more accessible, to render
travelling more comfortable by sprink
ling the roads throughout the dry
season. and to guard the health of
the traveller by the installation of
proper water supply and sewerage
systems. The responsibility for the
future conduct of the national parks
must rest with congress, but the de-
Partment feels that the financial
needs of these reservations should
be clearly presented to congress in
the annual estimates.

RECOMMENDS SHORTER
HUNTING SEASON

Continued from page ~
OF the legislation may be called to
existing conditions.
Conditions Are Changed.
while it is true that the num-
Der OF deer in Montana Is increas-
ing. it must be remembered that the
population of the state Ia increasing
in an even greater ratio" said Mr..
Aware. This is one Of the reasons
why the limit should be reduced.
But a more cogent reason is to
be advanced: the use Of the auto
mobile. Five years ago the big
game hunter made more or less ex-
tensive preparations for his one
hunt Of the season. He took q wag-
on or a pack outfit into the noun
tains, remained a week or more and
that was the extent Of his hunting
that season. Now it Is different.
Roads to practically every game re-
gion of Montana are open enough
for automobiles to travel over them
"The result is that today the au-
tomobilist loads into his car a party
of from four to six friends. by day
break has travelled from forty to sew
enty miles, hunts all day, and re-
turns that night. Instead of going
out once during the season, he goes
out many times, and where the par
lies a few years ago averaged not
over three persons, the average to-
day is nearer six.
Must Amend Game Laws.
1.-THE automobile and the grow
ing population of the state will COM
pei a shorter hunting season, and a
smaller limit, if Montana's reputa-
ton as a hunters paradise is to be
preserved"
Judging by the reports of the IL
censed guides, Montana sportsmen
have met with better success this
season than have the non-residents.
James Caldwell of Choteau, spent
eleven days in the mountains with
three hunters of Fulton, this county
In that time the party bagged three
elk and three deer. R. c. Palmer
of Augusta reports that he spent %
days in the mountains with a party
OF four men from Fort Shaw. They
bagged four elk, three deer and
mountain sheep.

PUMPING WATER
BY ELECTRICITY

Continued from page 1.)
the machinery at their own expense
with the understanding that should
it not prove what the council wants
it will not cost them anything for
the trial. The test run during the
next thirty days will probably deter
mine whether gasolene or electric
power will be used for pumping in
the future.
The motor is a 25-horse power,
and Is operated with an automatic
rheostaA, which starts the motor
when the water gets down to a GER
tain level in the tank and stops it
again when it gets full, thus requir-
ing but very little attention. Prac-
tically the only care It requires Is
for q man to look over the machin-
cry once day and see that every
thing is in order and properly oiled.
After the tank is once filled, five
feet of water are used before the
float engages with an electrical con-
tact and starts the motor. 1t takes
the motor about an hour to fill the
tank, and then it will stand for
about seven hours before it will start
again. Should it be necessary to
start the pump at any time between
this intermittance it can be done
with a little switch in the power
house.
B. F. Cheevers, the city pumpman,
is very much pleased with the outfit.
but he thinks that in order to have
a machine that will do for future
needs he recommends a few changes
be made, principally a Misunderstanding
rheostat, SO that the pump can be
run at varying speeds, which will be
a necessity in some cases.
The electrical engineers who in
stalled the outfit state that if the
city adopts this device they will
have one of the most up-to-date lit
tie pumping stations in the country
for the size of the town.
The gasolene engines will always
be kept in running order should any
thing happen to the motors, so there
never need be any fear about being
without power.
