TALKING ABOUT sTRAws.

The Billings (Mont) Daily Gazette,
which has besn strong Roosevelt "a.
per until recently. has come over to
Taft, the editor giving his reasons for
the change in double.column article.
declaring that he sees no hope for the
success of the Third Term party, and
Is convinced that the cause of real re-
form can be best promoted by con-
tinuing the Republican party in power.
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger of bringing about adverse
business conditions through a change
in administration, and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies. 1t is a
most significant editorial, and as the
Gazette is the most important paper in
Montana, its influence upon the cleo
tion can hardly be measured. 1t is only
another one of the innumerable signs
that the Third Term party has col.
lapsed. that the country realizes the
fight Ii between the Republican party
and the Democratic rarty. and that no
possible benefit could be derived rom
a change.

Now ovtapoken for raft.

From the Clinton. ILL.,, Journal:
Az the Journal up to this point In
the campaign has exercised Its pre-
rogative Of expressing dlsinterested
comment upon issues and candidates,
SO now, as an independent newspaper,
II feels that the time Is at hand and
the opportunity ls ripe to ceciare Its
policy on the Issues of the day. From
now on until November 5, therefore,
the journal will contribute its efforto
to the success Of the principles of the
Republican platform and the re-eiec-
ton of William Howard Taft to the
presidency. II 10 convinced that only
the continuance of present policies
will insure the stability and PROF.
perlty Of the agricultural. Industrial
and financial interests OF the natlor,
and II tremtles for the future at the
thought Of the havoc and ruin which
the success either OF the Democratic
party or of the misnamed "Proerec-
sive" party would mean.

where Mr.. Taft Stands.

From the Wausau Record-Herald:
Taft stands exactly where either OF
the great martyr presidents would
have stood had they lived in his day
and occupied his place. He stands for
the constitution. for the courts. for
the perpetuation OF the tried and
proved American institutions, for the
principle OF protection to American
labor. just laws and their impartial
enforcement against rich and poor
high and low, alike. No president ever
had higher ideals. better comprehen-
sion of the intricacies of government.
or more courage in presenting his con-
victions to the public.

vr1IH HAT THE WOMEN
NV OF THE WORLD
lQ@ ARE DOING D

To fully ascertain by what meas
ure the New York wonlen's commit
tees for reducing the high cost of
living succeeded, the committee on
weights and measures went to New.
York for copies of the laws pertain
ing to the question. Miss Josephine
Schain. who has made a study of the
laws as we'll as Mrs. v. C. Sherman
OF Minneapolis. Mrs. W. D. McCourt
ST. Paul. all declare that the New
York laws are about the best to be
obtained. but before presenting the
amendments which they drew UP
Thursday afternoon they will make a
still closer study of the eastern city's
laws to profit thoroughly by the She
cessful experience Of the metropolis,
which has taught dealers and Gus
toners when a pound is a pound, and
to di1erentiate between scales that
are hxed for the benefit Of the dealer
at the loss of the customer and the
honest reliable scales.
Mrs. V. c. Sherman Of Minneap.
oils. is the president of the fifth dis
trict. and with Mrs. w. D. McCourt
of st. Paul. the chairman Of the
high cost Of living committee, and a
group OF other householders determ-
ined to lessen the expense Of the
municipality ana to see lalf play, las
devoted considerable time to this eff
fort. They have made several calls
on the warehouse and railroad COM
missioners at the state capitol. where
they received the greatest possible
encouragement and helpful sugges-
tions.
The outcome Of, all this will be
amendments that should do away
with haphazard methods in weights
and measures and that will save the
householder the accepting Of a box
OF berries that is only three-quarters
full. or a bushel or peck Of stuff that
is far from coming up to the meas
ures ordered by the law.
In h states Of New York and Mas
sachusetts. where perhaps the sub
tect Of weights and measures has
been more fully exploited than any
where else in the United States. it is
an acknowledged fact that it was the
cooperation Of the progressive wo-
