Really Interesting item.

"A newspaper receives daily for publication" says the Berliner Tage. blatt, "a lot of stuff which has about as much literary value as laundry slip. But occasionally something comes along which. unknown to the writer. Is so funny that 1t sees the light of publicity. Thus. cores. spondent calls attention to the fact that the drama Royal Love- which was seen for the first time at the Gira Theater, is by Baron Rosenkranz, who is direct descendant of Rosen- nanz and Guildenstern, known to the world through Shakespeare"

Honesty In Politics.

lican ballot a. candid ates for electors.
In most states such q course would
be considered dishonest. In New York
1t might lead to the penitentiary, since
members OF one party who at pri-
maries vote under the guise and EN-.
blem OF another party are violating
the criminal code. We don't know
just how 1t would be regarded at
Armageddon, but there are verses in
the Old Testament that apply to 1t.
1t will require better argument than
the "Bull Moosers" are capable of to

honorable or even decent for one party
to place Its candidates for presidential
electors upon the ticket of another

Roosevelt On The Warpath.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 27.-Col-
onel Roosevelt desires to bring the
names of Alton B. Parker, democra.
tic nominee for the presidency in 1904,
and James Sherman, vice president Of
the United States, In the inquiry into
campaign contributors authorized
yesterday by the senate by the adop.
ton of the Penrose resolution. He
said today that he would place their
names before the sen ate committee in
his letter to Senator Clapp.

Unclaimed Prizes at State Fair.

HELENA, Aug. 28.-Last year there
was S6,588,15 cold cash in Helena
which went begging for want of IN
owner. Thous ands of Montana .citi-
ems could have had a share In it by
simply filing their claims, but the
claims were not filed and the money
reverted to the source from which 1t
came, the Montana State Fair treas
ury.
1t is difficult to believe that the resi-.
dents of the state would overlook q
source OF venue so easily reached,
but nevertheless the fact remains that
at the Montana State Fair for 1911
the sum above mentioned, which was
offered as prizes regularly listed in
the fair catalog, reverted to the fair
treasury at the close of the exposition
because there were no competitors in
any of the classes in the book.
This year there is more than $40, 900
offered in prizes, special premiums
and purses. The 1912 catalog, which
contains all of them and gives in
structions as to how they must be
competed for, has been issued, and
state fair officials are hopeful that
the percentage of uncompeted prizes
this year will fall below that Of las,
year and the proceeding years.

A Billion Dollar Congress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Congress
has closed another billion dollar ses.
sion, but the exact total of the ma
TONS "cost of living" varies as it is
seer through republican and demo-
C ratio eyes.
The total appropriations for the u.s.
cal year 1918, which began July l,
1912. amount to 81, 019, 636, l43 .66 as
given to the senate and house today
by Senator Warren aud Representa-
tive Fitzgerald, respectively chairman
of the two appropriation committees.
1t Is conceded bylboth Of these lead
ers tn at this is 81. O46. 900 less than the
nations budget Of 1912, but 1t remain
ed for former Speaker Cannon, in be-
half of the republican forces of the
house, to produce figures to show tina
the present democratic congress hat
actually appropriated more for gen
aral purposes than did the preceding
republican congress.

Trains Stalled by CaterpilIars.

OTTAWA, Can, Aug. 27.-A plague
of caterpillars struck the Ottawa and
G atineau valley, and the pests stalled
three Canadian Pacific trains On the
Gatineau line. Three locomotives
we're required to haul four passenger
coaches to Chelsea through the equa-
shy mass of caterpillars.
The train was stalled with it's single
engine. Then an engine was required
from q work train, and with this added
help no progress was made. Final.
ly two engines were sent for. The
plague is at its worst at Alvin and
Ironside.
The caterpillars are destroying or

MANN REVIEWS CONGRESS
Republican Leader Declares Session
Has Been Waste Of Time.

Has Been waste OF Time.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Ineficient,
disorganized, unprogressive and in
active were words used today TO de-.
scribe the work of the democratic
house by Republican Leader James r.
Mann in q statement reviewing the &C.
complishments of the lower chamber
of the 62d congress-. Mr.. Mann char
| acterized some of the democr attic ma.
]ority work as stingy and silly and
other of its acts as pure extravaganza.
1.-THE boast about economy went by
the board" said the minority leader.
1.-THE main work in the house on the
democra attic side has been . constant
bossting of what they were going to
do at the next session.
II said last December this session
OF congress would last longer and do
less than any other regular session of
recent years. My forecast proved COR
rect. This session of congress has en-.
acted laws fewer in number and of less
Importance than any session OF recent
years. The laws passed in the main
are of little importance and generally
local In character. The Pana canal
bill is the one of greatest importance
and in the main that was q bill pre-.
pared by me In q prior congress.
1.-THE claimed reformation OF the
rules has proved q farce. That the
house has been inefficient is shown by
the fact that over 200 ate bills
which passed the sen ate remained I'M
acted upon in the house. 1t is q con-
slant boast that the democrats at this
session passed q law providing for
publicity of campaign contributions.
Such is not the fact. They passed
only an amendment to the law which
had previously been passed by q re-
publican house and the principal part
Is one relating to primary campaign
expenses that was inserted in the law
by republicans against the protest OF
the democratic side. Somewhat SINH
lar ia the bill relating to eight hour
la Dor which is only an amendment OF

time to consider, or else they we're
bills prepared by officials in Presi.

opportunity to some OF his political
enemies to counter on him. As q his

some mention of the free homes act,
which was enacted by q republican
congress and president In 1862. He
must also have come across some ref
erence to the legislation of the same

LAST OF GIG CONVENTIONS.

When the democrats and the repub'
licans and the bull moosers OF Mon
tana conclude, in the next few weeks,
the nomin alton of their respective
state and county tickets the final chap
ter will, In all human probability,
have been written on the present con-
vention system in this state, says the
Helena Independent. Under the pro.
visions Of the direct primary bill,
which will be voted upon by the peo-
pie this fall, nominating conventions
are entirely done away with and the
only party gatherings OF Importance
provided for are those Of the candi-
dates and committeeman for the draft.
ing of a platform of principles.
Everyone seems to agree that the
primary election law proposed by the
peoples power league will be adopted
at the coming election, and that the
forthcoming conventions will be the
last ever held in this state for the pur-
pose of nomin ating candid tes for Of
fee. Under the new system the in
trigue which begins at the ward eau
cuses, attended usually by less than
fifteen per cent Of the party members
within the ward, and ends with the
fiery speeches and red fire of the nomi.
mating convention, will be supplanted
by q primary election, similar in all
respects to a regular election, at which
the voters of q party 90 to the polls
and register their preference between
the rival aspirants for various nomi.
nations. The new system will end the
era of pre-convention "claiming,"
and will enable the result of all nomi-
nations to be known within a few
hours after the polls are closed.
The primary system will be well
coined by the people in general, even
though they may regret the passing
OF the glamour and excitement of q
nominating convention, since it will
insure a better registering Of the peo-
ple's will than Is possible under the
present plan OF nomin ating candidates.
