IN HELENA-Of the affair at Hell
eha II is not necessary to say much
this morning. We don't like to talk
politics Sunday, anyway. and it Is our
belief that the Whiteside incident OF
Thursday night doesn't require much
comment. 1t will take care of itself,
as the people of the state become
familiar with it. The action OF White
side was characteristic of the extrem-
ity to which the rea]ctionary forces
are reduced. The details of the In
cldent have been narrated in the news
dispatches. The story is a blot upon
the name and fame of the. state. Per
nicious lobbying. impairment intru-
sion, organized bluff and SYSTEM
atized coercion-all these are
ed in the incident which is such a
blot upon the record of the Thirteenth
assembly. 1t is interesting to note
that the cause of the people won In
the contest which precipitated the in
cident and that the members of the
house named their own representatives
upon the steering committee. We. be-
1ieve that the people of the state are
watching this session of the legisla,
ture as they have never watched a SEES,
sion before. We believe hat the

forces is having its effect in strength.

come in the guise of mediation which

the Mexican honor's sake, but which
would not differ materially from in

PASSING EVENTS

What a week it was, that one which
closed last night! From its first
hour, almost, it teemed with thrill
ing incident and lively interest. The
was reached on the opening day of the
week and it brought such a s~pectac-
ular battle as has not been known
since the days of the civil war in this
country or the Franco-Prussian con-
flict which followed our own strife. A
magnificent city has been devastated
while men fought in it's streets; inno-
cent persons have met death as shot
and shell tore through the walls of
their homes. 1t seems incredible. Yet,
across the; seas, We have its equal in
the wonderfully brave assault of the
Montenegrins upon the Turks at Sou
tart, where thousands of them lay
down their lives in the desperate
charge which was ultimately victor
ious. Then there was the story of
the death of brave Captain Scott and
his comrades in the Antartic expedi-
ton. Seldom has a news dispatch re-
corded UGH heroism as was recounted
in this tale. All these stories the
weeks dispatches told. And there
were the tales Of strife in legislative
halls, at Washington and at state cap
itals. In our W capital the contest
reached the stage of personal en-
counter; an unfortunate and deplor-
able chapter was written in the his
tory Of Montana lawmaking. 1t was
a week for big type and for startling
headlines. Not often has there beer
a like period so crowded with news so
intensely interesting.

IN MisSoULA-The week brought
Missoula the Red Apple banquet and
the days were largely given over to
preparations for that event. 1t was
an interesting week with a delightful
climax. In the affairs of the city gov
eminent, there was an interesting and
gratifying development; 1t was found
that the commissioners have brought
the expense of maintaining the city
down to even a lower figure than they
had reached a month before. That is
an item which Is worth notice. Then,
Missoula has had another week Of sue
cessful revival work on the part Of
DR.. Smith and his associates. The
meetings have been largely attended
and interest in them has been keen.
At the Episcopal church, Bishop
Brewer has continued his series OF

sorbed audiences. 1t was, in many
ways. a noteworthy week.

Over himself, Captain Scott, true to his training, does
not sentimentalze for a single moment. Everything he
writes is simple and matter-of-fact. In what ne knew to
be his last message, his first though. was to justify his
plans and his equipment in the eyes of the expert geogra-
pliers who would inevitably judge them. Almost his final
wish was to convince the world that he had not failed to
provide adequately for the men who depended upon his
leadership. Surely the world will give him the verdict
for which he pleaded with his last words. His self-re-
straint was magnificent; his unselfishness was almost
divine.
Only once in his simple message does he falter or break
down. 1t is only when he comes to speak Of the widows
and children who will be left to mourn does he allow his
sentiment to manifest itself. He says:
.x ws ts ss s sss ,.s ws tes " :, We st ss X, 's sn.e i %n'e Complaint ssHs 3 s"; bout st

Nobody doubts that England will respond to this touch
ing appeal; such pathetic justice as this cannot be denied.
1t seems as if America should join in the response; blood
is thicker than water; some of the pride is ours in the way
in which these brave men went to their death in the frozen
polar regions; some of the glory of race is ours. And the
message which Scott left is to all mankind.
We suspect that the details of the Scott story will shed
further luster upon his name; we are sure there is more to
be learned which will add to the glory of his fame. The
Oates incident is splendid in the heroism which it showed.
And the later particulars OF the record which came to us in
the closing days of the week furnished the added tale of
the devotion of the explorers to their sick and wounded
comrade, Evans. They would not desert him; he hind
cred their advance and his condition made it necessary to
exhaust the food supply in the futile endeavor to keep him
alive.
Had these men been willing to sacrifice their stricken
.comrade, it is probable that they would have been able to
weather the storm which conquered them. But they chung
to him to the very last. Dragging him upon a sled after
he had become too sick to walk, they staggered along
through snow and storm. And, as they struggled in the
unequal contest, the spark of life left Evans while he lay
upon the sedge as they tugged at its drawstrings.
What a tale of sacrifice it is! Place this beside the self
denial of Oates and where can you surpass the magnificent
manhood which is therein set forth? Chivalry is not
dead. The heart of man is yet tender. These men gave
their lives for their friend. And greater love hath no
man than this.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-02-16

but 1t is a responsibility which Is I'M
pleasant. 1t is likely to leave us with
another Filipino problem for solution.
IN TURkEY-Europe is confronted
by a situation which is similar. The
slaughter in Turkey Is terrible.
Every day it becomes more and more
apparent that the Ottoman forces can
not successfully resist the attack Of
the allies; they can hold out for a
time, they can sacrifice more Of their
own men and can slay some more OF
their foes; but their credit is gone;
their are exhausted; there
Is nothing but defeat in sight and the
longer they wait, the more bitter will
be that defeat. 1t is the. part of
mercy for Europe to intervene. There
has been already unnecessary loss of
life and destruction Of property. The
handwriting has been traced upon the
wall and the Mussulman might as well
read 1t and accept 1t now. The Turks
sentiment about his mosques is largely

as We have said on former occasions.
the mosques which the Turk says he
wants to save, were originally built
as Christian churches. It is said that
some of the finest mosaics II the
world are hidden beneath the gliding
which the Turk spread. over them when
he captured the oathedrals of the
Christians at the. time he invaded the
eastern empire. It looks as II the
time had come to scrape off that gid
ing and to restore these churches to
their original form and to send the
Turk back into Asia. The powers are
said to be considering the question Of
Intervention. 1t will be harder now
than 1t would when the allies were
in a mood for parley. Now they are
determined. But Intervention should
come.
IN WAsHiNGToN-In the national
capital they find time between the
spasms of preparation for the inau-
.guration, to Indulge in a little politics
in congress-, but they are not doing
much in the way Of legislation. 1t is
a good deal Of a merry-go-round-this
short session Of congress. The late
dispatches OF the week indicated that
there is a good deal Of doubt as to
the ability Of the session to dispose
OF the necessary appropriation bills
before the time limit is reached. The
among the democrats have
become notorious lately and have been
sufficient to block progress in the

posed to be in shape to demonstrate

very thing, though it was not
that very thing. though it was not
the sort Of demonstration which was
anticipated when the party OF Jeffer-
son swung into power and became at
the party Of Jackson. In Helena
we have had an epitome OF what the
democrats are. likely to do in the
wider field Of national politics when
they assume the control of all depart
ments. There was never party dis
cord more pronounced than that which
has had its climax in fist fights and
wordy encounters over on the other
side Of Last Chance gulch. There will,
however. be its equal when the eavels
fall upon the special session which DR..
Wilson will call next month II he. car
ries out his announced program. 1t Is
going to be interesting to stand on
the side lines.

ANNALS OF THE A

Luminous in its thrilling record of splendid bravery, the
story of Captain Robert F. Scott of the British navy
stands out conspicuously in the annals of a week which
was more than ordinarily important in the character of its
news. Dying, Captain Scott gave to the world one more
of those simple stories of heroism that have characterized
knight-errantry, whether its quest was the south pole or an
imprisoned comrade in the Saladns country, whether it
was in the thirteenth century or the twentieth.
The farewell message which this modern hero lett tor
his countrymen and for the world when he realized that
the battle of himself and his fellows against the odds OF
an Antarctic blizzard was hopeless, is the message OF a
brave leader, a loyal comrade and a generous man. Know
ing that death was near for himself and his comrades, ne
left an account of the experiences of the expedition, so
accurate, so calmly written, so thoroughly thought out as to
excite the admiration of all mankind. 1t is one OF the most
remarkable documents ever penned. 1t abounds in Incl
dents which strengthen our confidence in the race and
cause US to glory in the Anglo-Saxon character.
The single incident of the death of Captain Oates of the
Sixth Inniskillen Dragons is as fine as anything which is
preserved in Englands traditions of brave men. Halt
frozen and suffering intensely, he struggled on tor weeks,
knowing that he was retarding the progress of his COM
panions. Then in SCOTS words:

The greatest savings in purchase of
school supplies is, I believe, in the
standardization of these supplies and
then buying them in quantity 1t is
not necessary to have all the different
kinds of pencils or penhOders that the
various teachers prefer Select a very
few sizes or one standard size and
quality and stay by this. Usually Il
preference for one kind or another of
pencil is a matter of habit and a new
one will be just as satisfactory after
using a little time. In nothing does
standardization count for more and
make for better prices and better de-
livery than in paper. This should be
named by brand, size, and weight. Your
supply will then be uniform and salts

Quite as important as proper meth
