Montana Suffragettes Are Busy.

HELENA, Nov. 16.-Prepara atone for
waging the sutfragist battle before the
legislature this winter, to have q pro-
posed constitutional amendment sub
mitted to the voters; and then for the
battle later to have the amendm ent
adopted, are being made by the sympa-
thizers of the movement.
Women suffrage clubs will be Or
ganized in every ward In Helena, in
East Helena, and in q number of the
outlying precincts, by Miss jeanette

an enormous plurality and most OF the

Within the time when electors have
been chosen directly by the people,
John Quincy Adams in 1924 gained
the presidency without a majolity
either of the popular or the electoral
vote. James K. Polk in 1874 had
nearly two.thirds OF the electoral
college but q minority In the popular
vote. Zachary Taylor In lS4S was
outvoted by the democrats and Free
Sellers.
Franklin Pierce had nearly three
fourths OF the college in the demo.
cratic sweep OF 1852, but a popular
majority OF only $4,000. Buchanan
in 1856 was 10 q popular minority.
Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was
heavily in a popular minority. Hayes
in 1876 lacked both a popular plural
ity and majority. Garfield in 1885
had q plurality of about 1000 and
was in q minority of rel 300, 900
Cleveland in 1884 was in q small mi
nority, though barely elected; and IL
1892 was in a minority of nearly l,
600, 900 when the democrats swept tn
country. Harrison in 1888 was elect
ed by q minority OF the popular vote
The present situation Is more ex
actly comparable with that of 1885,
when the Wing party went to pieces
and that of 1866 when the democratic
party went to pieces. 1t is the repub

THINK II OF OTHERS

You are brooding, sad eyed friend,
DER the griefs you must endure; you
have troubles without end; YOU'RE
neglected, you are poor, you must bear
a heavy load, unassisted On ycar back
and you're weary OF the road, and
your liver's out of whack. And it all
comes down to this, you with selfish
ness are fraught; and you'll never sam
pie bliss till you change your mode of
thought. Think of others now and
then when tears run down your neck;
in this great world of men you are but
a little speck. On its way this planet
goes, as twill journey when you die,
and your picayunish woes aren't worth
a single sigh. Think of others when
you feel like a martyr boiled in lie;
think of others who conceal suffering
beneath smile. Think of men who
gravely scrap all their lives without a
whine, and you'll sicken Of the chap
who will murmur and repine. Think
of some one you can aid, think of some
one you can cheer, and the crouch you
wear will fade and you'll smile from
ear to ear.Walt Mason.

L.egiis lation ii State
Badly Mixed Up

CONSERVATION has been caused In:
Iilineis by q decision of the state su-;
preme court inYalidating an import
ant appropriation by the state legisIa-.
ture on tho ground that It was not
printed before passage. This was one
OF the numerous bills rushed through
pell-meM at the close Of the session.
The Same spectacle Is enacted each
year in the Illinois legislature as IN
most states
There ought to be some way out Of
prohibiting such slap-hang legislation.
All are familiar with the usual session
lat Pierre works out. Important bills
are introduced early In the session and
most of them are put on final passage.
in the last week Of the session and a
good share Of them on the last day.
This means that they go through on
snap judgment or without considers
ton at all. There Is not time to go
over the yerbiage Of the measures to
make sure they provide what is in
tended. y sii
Al The last session of the legislature
offended particularly in this regard.
Attorney General Johnson has been
very busy since trying to interpret the
bills hurried through with scant con
federation.
For one thing, the system in South
Dakota is all wrong. 1t is something
perposterous to say that all the work
shall be done in sixty days. 1t is all
most equally absurd to allow as salary
only what the members must pay out
as board. So long as the state re-
fuses to compensate legislators for
their time and says in addition that
they must finish their work, regardless
OF its volume, within specified per-
iod, the South Dakota legislature will
continue to be more or less Of joke as
q legislative body. What should be
done is to allow specified sum for
the term as comp ensation, Of not less
| than $500 for the two-year period. Then
allow the legislature to sit as long as
it needs to do its work thoroughly and
properly. Most Of the expense is COW
cred, in the salaries Of the members
and if that is a fixed sum. regardless
Ct the length Of the session, the state
would not feel obliged to cut the SEES
sion short as matter Of economy. -

He urged united action. Speaker Clark and Representative Borland, of Missouri, and many other southern Congressmen, ad- dressed the convention. Atten- ton was directed to the fact that the railways of the south were advancing the work, and that the Southern Railway has especially arranged good roads trains" that have travel ed thousands of miles, and shown good wagon roads me thods in every part of she south.

Packers continue to complain of the slow movement nf dressed beef at consuming points, buyers have orders 10 bear down on the market till further instructions are received. They say tha, pork loins can now be put on the tables of consumers around 1214 cents per lb., which shuts out beef in many cases. Steers of class not suitable for feed CTS, and below the upper crust in qua lity have accordingly suffered 25 to 50 cents in the last two weeks in the way of price cut. Good to choice feeders are in demand, at $580 to $625, because good many dealers have faith ill high CT prices for beef cattle in the spring Prime heavy cattle have good outlet up to the rather limited supply of .ame, but the market on the middle class fed steers has eased off steadily for two weeks. Even at that, however, the eat tie marketed so far have made money for the feeders. Hurry of feeders to
  receipts during February will show d larger short age than January has. in which case prices might recuperate a little. It depends good deal, though, on the volume of receipts of hogs and sheep and lambs, each of which classes has made good gain in January this year over the same month last year at the markets in volume of receipts. Cat tie run here to-day 11,U00 head, lnclud- ing 42 cars of Quarantine cattle, sales a shade weaker, except stockers and feeders. which are strong Top natives brought $7.70 to-day. Veal calves are off 50 cents from week ago, best now S7.5O
 Liberal orders for fresh pork stimu- lates the buying of the packers in the alleys, and prevents well conducted bear campaign. The market is uneven, sellers having it their way the first half of last week, liter which the buyers had their inning. The supply fell off one third last week from the previous week and dealers are looking for tigher runs. Supply to-day is 12,O0O head, fairly heavy for Monday, market a shade stronger, top $6.271a. bulk S5.SO to $6.25 Receipts here for January will show an increase of 75 per cent over same month last year.
 The mutton market is sick, and no physician has been found in the last two weeks that can do it any good Prices are off 10 cents to-day, good to choice lambs not quotable above $65O, some fair to good ones at $5 75 to $6.25. wethers $4.00 to $4 60, ewes $3.25 to 400 Commission men have been looking for some geins i'll the market, and expect best lambs to sell around $7OO in Feb. Native territory feeders have shipped in most of their stuff it is argued, and Colorado feeders will not ship for some weeks yet.
