MARKING TIME

Over at Helena, the reaconaries have re-established
their old steering rule and resting comfort
ably The state is being given fine exhibition of mark
ing time 1t appears to be the purpose of the coalition to
continue this performance indefinitely and to accomplish
as little actual work as possible There good deal Of
movement it is true, but none of it is forward
Now and then given the opportunity to witness
one of the sham battles which have for years furnished the
spectacular feature of the reactonary mock warfare
There is lot of noise red fire follows the balloon
goes up-and the performance is over for the night The
crowd is thanked for its kind attendance and cordial nv
taon extended to all to be present at the show
So the forces line up. Rght-left; right-left; right

nobody out of place. Righ-eft; right-let; right

fighters move they make break they follow the leader
they put in the day and then adjourn to dinner
The Thirteenth assembly is marking time
Comes then one OF the burlesque engagements sham
battle in which the cartridges all blanks and the only
possible casualty is headache from the noise. The

care of their legs So and then, sham battle to

anything but that.
And then the noise of the fake contest over the ranks

GOOD BYE-GOOD LUCK.

Missoula is genuinely sorry that the
Fourteenth is to leave. Regiments
have come and regiments have gone
at Fort Missoua. Strong friendships
have been formed and even firmer ties
dear friends and not a few relatives
in the service; scattered now but al
ways remembered. Never, we think,
has there been a regiment here whose
members have won warmer place in
the affection of Missoula and never
has a regiment left this post with its
departure more sincerely regretted.
The Fourteenth will be missed; it would
be too much, perhaps, for us to expect
that the regiment will feel the regret
at departure which we feel in seeing
it go; but we may express the hope
that it's members will retain pleasant
recollections of their sojourn in the
Bitter Root country This we do
know, that the Fourteenth takes with
it the heartiest good wishes of Mis-
soula. Marching orders are inevitable
in the army life; they always occasion
some regret. The Fourteenth marches
from Missoula, leaving a void behind.

together with distinguished citizens Of
many of the cities of Montana. The
invitations have been dispatched and
the preparations are in progress for
the entertainment of those who re-

that there will be more than a hundred
guests from outside the city.
The Red Apple banquet has been a
pleasant affair in the past This years
dinner should be one more in the list
of happy occasions. TO insure its
success, the chamber Of commerce
needs the co-operation of all Missoula
people. From the local sale of tickets

Yet the price of iii rises far and fast

Consumers of oil products ask why

flourishing, but they are uneasy over
the possible consequences of rapid and

OIL
Unless some deep and undiscovered
plan exists for far-reaChing warfare
in the oil business, the explanation
must be the immense and growing
consumption of petroleum products
and the outlook for still greater in
roads upon the stock of oil now above
ground. The vast spread of the auto
mobile industry involves the con-
sumption of enormous quantities of
gasoline, and the increasing use Of
internal combustion engines in vessels
is another important factor in the
strength of the marke ct for crude pc

burn their fuel under ordinary boilers,
but explode it in their cylinders.

One result Of Burlingames mission,
however, was the treaty of 1868 with
the United States, which recognized
the right of voluntary emigration of

which grew the one long standing

States and China. The manner in
which this mootcd question has been
dealt with by the United States since

Caleb Gushing, Il member of con-

the credit of successfully concluding
the first treaty with China. Mr.. Cush

by DR.. Peter Parker a medical mis-
sionary, treaty was negotiated, the
Chinese even accepting the principle
of eXterritoriality, which gave Amer

tried according to their own laws. For

The Republic of China
XXII.-The United States and China
BY Frederic J. Haskin

Recent events in China revive in
with our own. The very fact that this
sturdy and fascinating country is a
republic today largely by virtue of the
example set by the practical and ben
efiCent development Of our system of
governmnet is sufficient to draw SYM
pathetic attention to the diplomatic in =
tcrCourse of the two countries. En-
tWined political and commercial in
tercsts, now greater than ever before,
carry the subject beyond the simple
sentiment stage The time has come
for Americans to view with deper
seriousness the ties that bind the two
countries. The time has come for us
to review the drift of the past events
that threw us so closely together. The
time has come for us to prepare for
the future which is sure to wrench the
Vitals Of both nations whether they
walk together as before or take di-
vergent paths
Diplomatic exchanges between China
and the United States began in 1856
with the appointment of Major samuel
Shaw as consul at Canton, This her
aid of the new diplomacy was a New
Englander who had served in the Revo-
mtionury war, visited China and ia
pan, and was in the war department
at the time of his appointment. 1t was
cminently fitting that he was Of the
Caliber that enabled him to take the
place for the sake of the work to be
Wat
wasn't in it.
Major Shaw did all he could to fos-
ter American trade, which in 1905 was
fully half of China's foreign commerce.
In that year. according to the report
OF Edward Darlington, consular agent,
the United States entered goods worth
$500, 900 at Canton and took from the
same port exports totaling $3,3O0,ooO'
'rhlrtN six American ships anchored
below that port in the same year,
which is about as many as the United
States can boast for the same waters
in 1912 thanks to the decadence of the
American merchant marine.

H., and Commodore kcarncy of the
navy We're Americas next importan,
points of contact with China. In 1882
| the former, bearing proper credentials
| from Washington, toured the FAR east
in the warship Peacock to negotiate
| commercial treaties with oriental
! lands. The Chinese mandarin at Can
| ton would not treat with Mr. Roberts
| unless all his titles should be shown
| to be more numerous than that of the
| official himself. Thereupon Mr.. Rob
crts wrote after his name the fact that
| he was from Portsmouth, n. H., and
| added thereto the names Of all the
| counties in the state. Ills intention
Of also claiming all the towns, hills,
rivers and lakes of New Hampshire
was not necessary, as his celestial eX-

refused to deliver President jackson s
