There is but one cloud upon our hori

There can be no certain prospect Of

has surrendered his usurped authority
in Mexico. Until it is understood on

dealt with by the gorernfnta at o. The
United States. We are the friends OF
constitutional government in America
We are more than it's friends; we are
It's champions. beca use in no other
way can our neighbors to whom we
would wish in every way to make
proof OF our friendship work out their
own development in peace and liberty
Mexico has no government. The at
tempt to maintain one at the City Of
Mexico has broken down, and mere
military despotism has been set up
which has hardly more than the SEM
blance OF national authority, 1t origi-
mated In the nsnrpation Of Victoriano

play the part Of constitutional presi

Even il the usurper had succeeded
in his purposes, in despite OF the con.

OF it's people. he would have set up
nothing but precarious and hateful
power which could have lasted but a
little while and whose eventual down
fall would have left the country in
more deplorable condition than ever.
But he has not succeeded. He has for

TOM STOUT'S LETTER
Interesting sdelights on men and things political

Washington, November 26th, 1913.
The boys who went home to look
after their fences are drifting back
to Washington in anticipation of the
opening of the regular session of con-
gress next Monday. Some of them
| have been away ever since the currency
bill passed the house, two months ago,
while others spent only week or two
at home. Almost without exceptions,
the democratic members returned with
reburnished faithin the wisdom of stand
ing with the President, said faith hav-
ing been renewed after talking over
the situation with their constituents.
In about every instance, when pinned
down to it, they say that their people
back home are mighty we'll pleased
over the way the new administration
is taking hold and in this connection,
it might be added that "administrat-
ion, and "Wilson' are synonymous
terms. Some of the fellows bring
back fearful heart rending stories of
patronage conflicts in their districts
while others AYERS that if they had it
to do over again, they would remain
right here on the job. in Washington
until the embers Of discord had had
chance to burn out bit more. One
member from the south said that he
thought he was going to get along with
out anv opposition next year until
there arose bitter fight over ameasey
crossroads post office which develop
ed so much intensity as to induce one
of the strongest men in the district to
shy his hat into the ring. | guess if
facts were all known, most of the
fellows have been up against the same
state of affairs and all Of them are
now fully convinced that instead of be-
ing political asset, patronage is
most disasterous liability. One of the
oldest republican members here, IN
point of service, told me, the other day
that this is the first congress he has
really enjoyed for sixteen years.
He took no offense when l gently pre-
dicted that the future holds in store
many years of the same sort of enjoy
ment provided he can continue to be
elected as republican,.
My collegue, Congressman Evans,
delivered his maiden speech in the
house last Saturday and got by in fine
style. He spoke in support of his re-
solution in favor of doing away with
the whipping post in the state of Dele
ware. It's mighty discouraging bus
mess making a speech in the house OF
at any stage of the pro-
ceedings. If there is any considerable
of members present, there is
always much confusion and general
lack of attention. 1t takes a topliner
to cause the members to sit quietly in
their seats and listen to what is going
on. AS many Montanans are aware,
Judge Evans, has good voice, splen-
did delivery and first ,slass choice of
language. He quickly secured and

was congratulated when he completed
his 30 minute talk.
Oscar Underwood, democratic floo,
leader, has returned from Alabama
where he has been campaigning fo1
three weeks or more and reports from
that state indicate that he will realize
MS ambition to be elected to the u. s.
Senate although R. P. Hobson is msk-

does leave the house there is going to
to be mighty hole over on the demo-
cratic side which some one will have
to try to fill. Just who will be his
successor as leader of the democratic
majority has already become topic
of speculation and numerous guesses
are being made The principal candi-
dates will probably be A. Mitchell Pal
mer of Pennsylvania and Claude Kit
chin of North Carolina with number
OF dark horses all caparisoned to jump
into the breach if called upon. Palmer
is handicapped by being a comparative
ly new member, this being but his third
congress, but he is one of the recog-
nized leaders, has lots of ability and
is generally looked upon as one of
President Wilson's chief spokesman
on the floor of the house. Kitchin is
serving his seventh term, is brilli-
ant orator. and personally one of the
most popular men in the house.
A number of Montana men among
whom was Governor Stewart came
down here last week to attend the
fifth Annual meeting of the National
Conservation Congress. The members
OF the congressional delegation were
members, ex-officio. The congress was
anything but pleasant and successful
affair from q viewpoint of westerners
all of whom were repeatedly .flattened
out by the Pinchot steam roller. As a
matter of fact, there were entirely
too many ex-Secretaries of Interiors
mixed up in the proceedings to permit
any plain, everyday citizen to take
much of a hand. There was Gift Pin
chot, as starter -- and be it hereby
acknowledged that Gift is some starter.
and to aid and abet Gift were Jimmy
Garfield and Walt Fisher. Gift, jim
my and Walt are charter member of the
Uplift club. Their sole object in life
is to save the government at all costs
and more especially that portion of the
government whioh lies west of the
Tooth meridian and between British
Columbia and Huertaland. But just be-
cause these fair haired ex-secretaries
are uplifters of the most ardent type,
it must not be assumed that they do
not know few things about the noble
art of politics as she is played in this
day and generation Gift and Jimmy
weremembers of Teddy's tennis cabinet
which means that they had an opportun-

ira session of congress next Monday.
The president expects to confer with
many of his friends during the pres
ent week and it is believed that whel
congress convenes nominations for the
more important posts will be sent to
the senate.
Yesterdays development brought out
that Walter H. Page, editor of World 5
Work, and an intimate friend of Mr..
Wilson, had been offered and had ac-
cepted the ambassadorship to Great
Britain. White house officials con,
tirmed the news, and Mr.. Page, it IS
stated, will start for London within ten
days.
1t was stated at the white house
that with the exception of Mr.. Page
no offers had been made for any other
diplomatic posts.
The president has had under consid-
Grafton a list of men to whom he is ia
vorably inclined, but the chief difficult
ty has been that many of these mer

SCHOOL BOOKS
At REAL COST
TO CHILDREN
CHAMPIQNED BY MIR. N MIH'CCRORY
viii Introduce Bill in Next
Legislature

School books at cost to the school
children of Georgia is the idea that IS
advocated by Representative C. r..
McCrory, of Schley county, who WI
introduce a bill in the house of repre-
sentatives at it's next session with
that end in view.
Mr.. McCrory claims to have given
much time and thought to this matter,
and he claims that the people of Geor-
gia should have their children's school
books at cost, with no heavy expense
upon the state. His plan in brief is
to have the state ask for competitive
bids on the printing of various books,
once the state has secured either man-
uscripts of its own or copyrights of
books already published.
By the competitive bidding Mr.. Me-
Crory claims that the state can secure
the books at very low cost and with
out the need of investing money in a
state printing plant This method is
already pursued, he says, in the mat
ter of the publication of Georgia Re-
ports, which under the system have
been reduced in price from 81 to $3.50
Ter volume. A corresponding reduc-
ton in price can be made with the
school books, according to Mr.. Nc
/ Crory, in that books that now cost 81
cents should be sold for six cents, with
others proportionately low. Discus
sion on Mr.. McCrory's bill will lie
agitated with interest
