SAYS IT Is TREASON-HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES rs NO
LONGER FORUM OF PEOPLE.

Washington, June 14.-Representa-
tive John Dalzell. of Pennsylvania, one
of the best known of the Republican
old guard. expressed his opinion In
the house on Woodrow Wilson
Mr.. Dalzell was discussing the Un-
derwood wool revision bill, which was
before the house. He was not sur.
prised that Governor Wilson had en-
dorsed the Underwood bill, in view Of
the governors recent performances.
He added that New Jerseys peripate.
tic governor is engaged in writing
backwards the sane and respectable
record of his life" Mr.. Dalzell insist.
ed that the wool bill was "indefensible
from every point of view" and charged
that the Democrats who advocated its
passage. realizing that the senate
would kill it, were merely playing
politics.
Politicians are liars" announced
Representative Lindbergh. of Minneso-
ia, in beginning an attack on caucus
ridden members and caucus-framed
legislation
This house." cried Mr.. Lindbergh,
'has ceased to be the forum of the
people. In that capacity it has gone
out of business. A few more than half
of the representative have renounced
their rights, lent themselves to a eau
Gus system and are willing that the
caucus action should take the respon.
sibility of the individual membership
of an individual mind. No member
has any influence after the caucus has
once made its decision. No act or
speech in the house now changes the
result of the caucus action. The house
has capitulated to an unofficial body
known as the Democratic caucus.
IL am talking against treason.
nnflinchingly say that any member
who surrenders his action to the con.
troll of a caucus violates his oath, is q
traitor to his constituency and com
mits treason against his country"
Representative Willis of Ohio. new
member, made a speech devoted to the
interests of the Ohio sheep raiser and
against the Underwood wool revision
bill. Mr.. Willis declared that the
sheep raisers of Ohio were small farm
ers and that the reduction proposed
by the Democratic wool measure
would hit thousands OF these farmers
all over the state and result disas'
trously.

Failure of Democratic Trustees to Obey
Law Allows Present Officer To Hold
Over the Same as IF Elected Ac-
ton Now for Four Years

County Superintendent Louis E.
Steinebach will, according to the
law and the decision of the Supreme
court, hold his Office four years
more.
The failure of the four democratic
trustees to obey the law and meet
on Monday, June 5, to elect q
successor has resulted in this con-
dition, much to the chagrin Of the
democratic candidate for the place
and those democratic managers who
thought they had planned a bril-
liant "coup d. etat" in the viola
ton of the law.
1t was the democratic plan to
prevent the election on June 5 by
staying away. This they cid only
under the strenuous insistence Of
Mr.. Rizer and some of the demo-
cratic leaders. 1t is understood
that the four democratic trustees
wanted to meet, auditor Walker
wanted them to meet and number
of other democrats also thought it
best to obey the law and meet
regardless of consequences; but
other counsel prevailed, so there was
no election on the day which the
law set for the election.
The republican trustees were
ready to perform their duty ac-
cording to law, but they were not
enough to form a quorum, so they
could do nothing but sit there all
day and wait for the democratic
trustees, who were in town all day
long, but who came not to the
meeting at any time during the day.
Toward the end Of the day the re-
publican trustees moved to ad-
journ "sine die," ard directed the
auditor to make this entry on his
docket. There were enough of
these trustees to meet and ad-
journ, hut they were not quorum
to do business, so none could be
transacted
The result cf this business is
that it will leave Mr.. Steinebach
in Office for the next four years.

So, BEND-P[Y Y|N0UTH
RAILWAY To Be BUILT
President S. S. Perley Denies Rumor That
He Has Sold Out To Pennsylvania
Railroad--He is Determined the Line
Shall Be Constructed

Recent reports that the PennsyI-
vanla railway company had bought
out the owners of the new inter-
urban railway from South Bend 20
Plymouth have been circulated, and
many are beginning to think that the
new road will not be built bv the
present company at all. Some Of
the ties which had been piled along
the road have also been taken away
and this added to the general i'm
preston tha the road had come 70
its end.
In recent conversation with a
Republican reporter Mr.. s. s. Per-
ley, president of the interurban COM
pany, stated that there was no truth
IN the statement that his company
mad sold out to the Pennsylvania
p" You know" said Mr.. Perlev.
THAT the Pennsylvania does NOT
do that kind of business. - Talk
ing of the matter furher, Mr.. Per-
lev said that the company had had
trouble In financing the road. The
disturbance Of the bond market bv
court decisions, or expected court
decisions, as well as other financial
troubles in the country had mada
bond market bad-so bad indeed
that the company had not vet been
able to float their securities. We ha a
row connections with a firm who
are dealing direct with Europe
said Mr.. Perley, and we hope 20
able to raise the necessary money
before long.
II am going to build that road
II L never do another thing in this
life" declared Mr.. Perlev." I
can It say how long it will take but
Il IS going to be built. All reports
to the contrary are not to he be-
heved. AS you know, all such
matters take time, and can NOT bA
zone as soon as We would like them.
We must wait on the action a
others and in this case cannot 90
farther until we sell our bonds. T
have put into this project already
all the money 1 had or could bor-
row and know we have a good
thing. Our read bed and right Of
way IS valuable one and will stav
there until the road is completed. !"

And Amount To Be Spent On
Building Will Be Fixed
Next Week.

at sn official board meeting Friday
night the officials Of the Methodist
church passed motion stating that
when they build their church they
will build new instead of remodel
ing the old house.
AS to how much is to be spent
In the building was not decided
A motion to adjourn carried with it
the stipulation that thematter Of
cost of the new building be taken
up at the Quarterly conference
which is to be held next Friday. A
building committee is to be appint-
ed which is to look after plans of
the building. the furniture and the
organ. The general feeling seems
to be that about $4,000 will be
spent in the building and maybe
$4,000 more in furniture and an
organ.
A canvass Of the membership will
probably be taken on these points
before the matters are decided.

A dispatch this week from Wash

according to report Of the depart

ports from agents in the field. At
the present time the Montana crops
show percentage of condition Of
1861 which is 6.1 per cent above the
perfect condition. This figure ex-
ceeds the percentage of crops in
Wyoming, Colorado. Utah, Nevada,

This will be assuring news to the
"city farmer" the man who stays
around town and croaks about poor
crops and for once the Montana crop
Is given due credit. A drive thru
the country tributary to Whitefish
will convince the most skeptical
that we are going to have crop
far above the average. Fall wheat
Is being cut and all spring grain is
taking on the color that will soon
