THE ELIMINATION OF sMocK.

From the Republican point of view
the campaign could not be progressing
in more satisfactory manner. and the
success of the ticket, from Taft down,
is practically assured at this time.
Hawley finds himself in a predicament.
With careless management at his
headquarters. letters have leaked out
showing conniving with the Bull Moose
interests, as well as corporation in
terests throughout the state, and in
addition to those bunders, Moore and
Pusmire, Democratic candidates are
contradicting each other on Hawley's
tax proposition, and both are humping
up against Hawley on the same idea
Truly. Democracy is gasping for
breath, and is utilizing everything
available in an attempt to bolster a
shoddy cause. Misrepresentation Is
freely INDUCED in by the Democratic
managers and party is in dire straits,
as 1t has absolutely no record on which
to stand. The cause of the Bull Moose
in Martins hands. is an amusing cir
cumstance. There has not been man
on the platform in recent years that
demonstrated the woeful misinforn,a-
ton and bungling statements made by
Martin. as far as Rev" Smock is con-
cerned-he has eliminated himself The
courts would not stand for his Illegal
poitica position, and his record won't
stand up for an investigation. Smock
has gradually wrapped oblivion about
him and has moved from thescene.
The opposition having exploded most
OF their powder can not face the sub
stant'al facts and figures pres ~ I'd by

ally admitted defeat in their despera-

WAITING TO SHIP
WOOL TO THE u. S
Australian Sheep RaIsers Anxious foI
Democratic Vic
tory.

From the GLASGOW, Mont, Independent.
The Hon. James Bryce, British am
bassador to the United 81 IS. has
been In Australia this summer. and il
recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed the hearts of the Australian WOO
growers by telling that there was pros
pect Of an early reduction In the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted. would mean large increase In
the wool experts from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador Is right That is
just what will happen il the wool tariff
Is lowered, and the Montana sheep
men know, because they remember
what happened in 1894 when wool
wasn't worth anything and when sheep
were worth even less When the Dem
ocratic members of the ways and
means committee of the house. in the
recent session of congress, presented
their wool bill for consideration. they
claimed that It would increase the i'm
ports OF wool into America by $780,
100000 pounds.
But there can be no increase In the
consumption of wool and the Amer
lean grower is wondering what would
become of 190,000,0O0 pounds Of his
wool under the Democratic tariff laws.
Nearly 100000 of that 10000, 900 is
grown right here in Montana. 1t is no
wonder that England is urging the
election of Democratic congress and
that London looks with favor upon the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.

desperate straits, making a pure love
story of unusual heart interest, as
shown In Charles Klein's latest play.
"The Third Degree" interests play
goers. then the forthcoming production
by the United Play company of this

some of its most interesting phases,

Waterways

I'm the case Of the Mississippi
river, that great and central artery
of our trade, it is plain that the fed
eral government must build and
maintain leyees and keep the great
waters in harness for the general
use. 1t is plain, too, that vast sums
of money must be spent to develop
new waterways where trade will be
most served and transportation
most readily cheapened by them.
Such expenditures are no largess on
the part of the government; they are
investments.

Councils Limited.

"We have got into trouble in re-
cent years chiefly because these
large things, which ought to have
been handled by taking counsel with
"a large d number OF persons as pos
sible, because they touch every in
terest in the life Of every class and
religion, have in fact been too often
handled in private conference. They
have been settled by very small, and
of en-, deliberately exclusive groups
of men who undertook to speak for
the whole nation, or, rather. for
themselves in the terms of the whole
nation-very honestly it may be, but
very ignorantly sometimes, and very
shortsightedly too. Our difficulty is
not that wicked and designing men
have plotted against us, but that
our common affairs have been de-
.termined upon too narrow a view,
and by too private an initiative.
Our task now is to effect a great re-
adjustment and get the forces of the
whole people once more into play.
We need no revolution; we need no
excited change; We need only a new
point of view and a new method and
spirit of counsel.

Not Business but Politics.

THE tariff question as dealt with
in our time "a any rate has not been
business. 1t has been politics.
Tariff schedules have been made up
for the purpose Of keeping as large
a number as possible of the rich and
influential manufacturers of the
country in a good humor with the
republican party which desired their
constant financial support. The tar
if has become a system of favors,
which the phraseology of the
schedule was often deliberately con-
trived to conceal. Who, when you
come down to the hard facts of the
matter have been represented in re-
cent years when our tariff schedules
were being discussed and determin-
ed, not on the floors of congress, for
that Is not where they have been de-
termined, but in the committee
rooms and conferences? That is the
heart of the whole affair. Will you,
can you, bring the whole people into
the partnership or not?

THE nation as a nation has
grown immensely rich. She is just
ly proud of her industries and of the
genius of her men of affairs. We
must accord them the great honors
that are due and we must preserve
what they have Dulit up for Us. But
what of the other side of the pic
ture? 1t is not as easy for us to live
as it used to be. Our money will not
buy as much. High wages, even if
We can ger them, yield us no great
comfort. We used to be better off
with less, because a dollar could buy
SO much more. The majority Of us
have been disturbed to find our
selves growing poorer, even though
our earnings were slowly increasing.
Prices climb faster than we can push
our earnings up. Those who buy are
not even represented by counsel. The
high cost of living is arranged by
private understanding.
I'VE have in these disclosures still
another view Of the tariff, still an
other proof that, not the people Of
she United States but only a very
small number of them have been
partners in that legislation.
