the platforms Of the several poIfticaI
parties Of Montana contained blanks
faVoring the submission to the voters
OF MS state, for their rejection or ap-
prevail, of a constitutional amendment
guaranteeing equal suffrage and DO
litical privilege to men and women
alike; and,
Whereas, The Thirteenth legislative
assembly, in accord Herewith and
urged thereto by the message of the
governor. has, by a practically unani-
nous voice, made legal provision for
he submission of such constitutional
amendment to the voters Of Montana
at the G biennial elections; be it

Resolved, That in thus keeping faith

SENATOR ELIHU ROOT.

Senator Reed Of Missouri was very
properly compelled to eat humble pie
for declaring that typewriter docu-
ment boosting Elihu Root for the Presi-
dcncy had been given ont prior to the
speech of the New York statesman
against the currency bill. 1t wasn t so.
Regarding the fitness and ability of
Senator Root to fill the Presidential
chair, however. there can be no ques.
ton He is head and shoulders above
the majority OF the men now in public,
life, and between him and Senator Reed
Of Missouri the disparity in intellect is
great.
Senator Root undoubtedly meant
what he said when he declared that he
would not be candidate for the Re"
publican nomination in 1916, believing
himself too old TO endure the strain.
There are hundreds of thousands of his
fellow citizens who would be willing TO
waive that objection. The next presi,

time any number of things may hap
pen.
Most people will be surprised to
learn that Senator Root is 90 years of
age. His mental and physical activity
had given the impression that he was
much younger, but after all a man is
only as old as he feels, and so far as
we may judge from his public work
the New York Senator is still young
giant 1t will be recalled that Henry
Gassaway Davis was more than 50
years OF age when he ran for Vice
President with Mr.. Parker. AT that
time one Of the arguments used against
the Democratic teammates was that
Mr. Davis was too old TO be President,
a position which he would have as
sumed if the Democratic ticket had
been elected and Mr.. Parker had died.
A few days ago Mr.. Davis celebrated
his ninetieth birthday in excellent
health and with q mind still clear and
alert
Senator Root points out somewhat too
gloomily that he will be ~ years of
age when the present administration
ends, and 76 years OF age at the close
OF the subsequent administration,

TIE GENIAL MIR. TAFT.

Former President Taft was our most
genial president. He never was seen
in public without that expansive smile
that became world famous. It is said
that he was a bad sailor and often was
seasick. This, indeed, was a great
trial to him because his work compelled
him TO make frequent trips oversca
either TO the Philippines or to Europe.
But in public he always wore smile
and the best OF it was that the smile
was the genuine expression of genial
soul, But if Mr.. Taft was able to
maintain his cheeriness as president how
ecstatic he must be now that the cares
Of office have rolled away. And the
public will be pleased to hear that he
is more optimistic than ever.
Everyone will recall that Mr.. Taft
speaking literally and not in metaphor.
Now we find his singing the song of
thinness, for has he not tipped the
scales at 271 pounds and S ouncesg

RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.

The United States is not the only
country with an immigration problem
to solve Neither is it the only coun-
fry where the bars have been put up
TO exclude the hordes of Asiatics who
seek labor ct any wage. The expert
ence Of the federal government with
California in the matter of the anti
alien land laws has been repeated in a
more aggravated form in Great Britain,
where the imperial government has been
called upon to induce Australia, New
Zealand and the Dominion Of Canada
10 admit within their borders their
fellow subjects from India.
In ali three of the dominions men
tioue,. the people insist upon "white
man s country and are taking drastic
measures to keep free from the oriental
faint, and the Hipdus, although sub.
iects of the crown of Great Britain are
no more welcome than the Chinese and
japanese coolies. Moreover, the home
government is powerlcss to prevent the
exclusion laws of the colonies being
put into execution.
There has been considerable influx
Of uindus into South Africa, with
bloodshed and riots resulting in Natal
and other paces. The South Africans
have not welcomed the Hindus as a
man and father. The Indian govern.
ment has called upon the government
of Great Britain to protect the rights
of the East Indians as subjects OF the
empire. And there you are. Great
Britain cannot force the dominions into
submission and the dominions will not
submit 1t will be interesting to watch
the outcome.
In addition to the anti-oriental cru
sade on the west coast OF the United
States an effort is being made TO cur
tail the immigration from Europe. With
this object in view the lower house of
congress has again passed the bill con.
| tanning the literacy test, against which
there were many protests and which
| was vetoed by President Taft. Just
now there is considerable speculation
as to what Mr.. Wilson will do when
the measure is presented for his sigma
| ture.
Taking into consideration the con.
ditions all over the world, it is plain
to be seen that the feeling aroused over
| the question of immigration win in
crease in intensity as the years roll by
