The bicycle manufacturers OF the
country are expecting much from the
administration of Woodrow Wilson as
president. 1t is true they are not
seriously concerned about the tariff OF
conservation or currency reform,
Their bright anticipations are OF
other things. If the president of tho
United states goes a-Whceling, why
should anyone else hesitate to do so"
And bicycling is Mr.. Wilson's f@avoritc
exercise.
Everybody admits that bicycling is
a hcalthful exercise. that it is a form
Of exercise that car be taken by rich
and poor, high and low alike, but
tens of thousands of people are dc

cycling has been largely SURRENDERED
to messenger boys and children. The
rare sight that it is to see a woman

son for not using the bicycle, and mon
are inclined to feel that when people
cannot afford street car fares they re-
sort to a bicycle as a method of rapid
transportation.
But if Woodrow Wilson's -fondncss
for vacation aWhcel shall prove to
have as much influence over the
American mind as King Edwards lik-
ing for a certain cut Of clothes or
style of hat. perhaps the bicycle will
be restored to good society. and while
the business man will probably never
again use Il bicycle as his sole means
of transportation, he ma keep one
along with his automobile or carriage
to get his days exercise when bust
ness is too pressing to allow him to
visit the golf inks. And when that
day "mc everybody will be willing
once again to he seen riding n wheel.
While the manufacturers do not OK
pect such a craze for bicycling as
there was in the COS, they do hope
that President Wilson will be able to
remoNe the ban of prejudice that has
been proclaimed against the wheel,
and that this will allow people to use
them who cannot afford a motor
cycle, a carriage, or an automobile.
and who yet feel bound by the Gus
toms which have banishcd the bicycle
to the messenger boys and young
America.
1t seems, evident that the bicycle as
a means of vacation travel will get a
big boost from the Wilson administra-
ton. Already hundreds of college boys
are calculating on getting passage to
Europe aboard cattle steamers, with

n RIGHT SORT.

Yesterday morning The Muscular
published the last of a series of ar
ticles upon China and Chinese affairs,
which had extended over a period of
two weeks or more These articles
formed a part Of the excellent service
which Mr.. Frederic j. Haskin has been
contributing to The Muscular for
more than two years. Specially time
ly and unusually instructive were the
stories about China and the Chinese;
they got right at the points which are
of present interest as no other cur
rent discussion has done. The Mis-
soulian has received many compli-
mcnts upon this series: the articles
have been generally read and have
proved of benefit. Next Wednesday,
Mr.. Haskin will start a new series,
dealing with the facts connected with
the controversy owe the Panama tolls.
This is a current question of inter-
il'klclldl lhllol ldllNt, II is IL loIfC upon
which not many of us are informed.
Mr.. Haskin will deal with this i'm
portant subject with all the careful
attention to detail which characterizes
his work; he will present the facts in
such shape that they will be easily
comprehended. Readers Of The Mis-
soulian will be able to derive much
benefit from the series. We bespeak
for the Panama stories a reception
ever more cordial than that which
was accorded the China articles. The
Missoulian is the only in
Montana which gives it's readers this
high-class service: it is a service
which is strongly featured by the
leading metropolitan newspapers of
the east.

DAY.

The problems of Saturday are COM
pick, they involve the added duties OF
the weekend shopping. The buyer of
household supplies has to consider the
demands of two days. Under present
conditions these demands are specially
eXacting. There is always a best
place to buy what is needed. Missoula,
we believe, is more fortunate than
most western cities in being able to
secure what is needed for its homes.
There are such stores here as can be
shown by few cities of Missoula's size
anywhere in the country; the excel
1ence of Missoula's merchandising is
recognized the country over. The Mis-
soula merchants, through the adyer-
using columns of The Missoulian,
make special announcements his
morning which emphasize their wide
awake ~propensities. The Saturday
shopper will find in these column tho
best guide which he can get to relieve
the pressure of the weekend demands.
Time n honey will both be saved
by a careful reading of the advertise
ing columns of The Missoulian, Sat
urday or any other day.

NEVADA DIVORCES
TO Be DIFFICULT
RADICAL CHANGES ARE ADOPTED
TO RELIEVE DISGRACE OF
THE RENO COLONY.

Carson City, Nev., Feb. AFTER a
long campaign by the press of the
state. ending with a public movement
headed by the women of Reno, a bill
to discourage divorce seekers from
coming to Nevada, by extending the
period of residence from six months
to one year, passed the assembly to-
day by a vote of so to %, one being
absent. 1t is made effective January
/, 1914. 1t must go to the senate now
and that body is said to favor its
passage.
The bill had been made a special
order of business for today and when
the hour approached a strong effort
was made to postpone its considera-
ton to hear the petitions of business
men opposed to the reform. The post
ponelnent was defeated, Al to 4. The
came a proposal to amend so as to
make the law effective December 81,
1914, but this was beaten, the vote
including the speakers vote, being 26
to 26, one absent. Assemblyman
John ]. Sheer of Elko county was car
ried into the chamber from a sick bed
to save the bill.
The act passed by the assembly
provides that jurisdiction will arise in
a divorce case where both parties are
bonafide residents of the state for six
months. but if only n party, defend
ant or plaintiff shall be a nonresident
he must reside as a bonafide resident
for one year. No change is made in
the several grounds for divorce.

THE WORKS AMENDMENT,

Discussing the Works amendment
the Chicago News presents some in
teresting points in connection with it
provisions. The News is opposed t,
the amendment in the form which tn,
senate has given it, although the six
year term is approved. Here is wha
the Chicago newspaper says in thi!
connections:
Here is the Works resolution
for d constitutional amendment,
passed on Saturday by the United
states senate, the vie being AZ to
70, or n vote more han the nee
essary tWO-thirds majority:
The executive power shall be
vested in a president of the United
States of America. The term of
office of president shal be six
years, and no person who has held
the office by election or dis
charged it's powers or duties or
acted as president under the con
stitution and laws made in pur-
suance thereof shall be eligible to
again hold the office by election
This resolution as it stands is
charged with both spite and favor.
itism. AS the debate in the sen
ate plainly showed, ever if the
terms of the resolution Itself were
not sufficient evidence of the fact,
the proposed amendment is in
tended to prevent Nh. Roosevelt
from again becoming president of
the United States. That is moi
all. Senator Works, who framed
the resolution asserts that if it
Shonld become a part Of the con-
Stitution before the end of Mr..
Wilson's presidential term the re-
suit would be to l%engthcn that
term by two years. In that event
Mr.. Wilson would in effect be
given a second term of two years
without the sanction of the voters
of the United States.
The Daily News has long advo-
Gated a six year term for the
nations president. 1t has long
urged that a president when elect
ed to a six year term should be
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-02-08

ineligible to reelection. However.
it strongly disapproves of aiming
a constitutional amendment al any
particular individual or any two
or three particular individuals. 1t
also disapproves of IN amendment
which would have the effect of
~lengthening the term of a presi-
dent elected by the people for a
shorter term. 1t submits the fol-
lowing as the proper nind of reso-
luton to be passed by congress
and ratified by a constitutional
number of state legislatures in
order that it may become a part
of the federal constitution:
The executive power shall be
vested in a president of the United
States Of America. He shall hold
his office during a term of six
years when he has been duly
elected to that term, and no person
who has held the office by cleo
ton to a term of six years or dis
charged its powers or duties or
acted as president in any such
term Of six years shall be eligible
to again hold the office by cleo
ton"
A constitutional amendment so
worded would still leave Roose-
Welt and Taft and Wilson eligible
for election to a six year term as
president. That IS to say, the
amendment would place them on
exactly the same footing as it
would all other native born citi-
zens of the United States. The
constitution of this nation is too
great an instrument to be married
with a spite amendment or by
extended to one man.

Since the aviators have been at Texas
City and San Diego they have made some
splendid records.
Capt Charles De Forest Chandler, for
two years commanding officer OF the
Aviation School, has been sent to the
Philippine Islands for regimental duty
there. While Capt. Chandler was popular
socially, il is understood on good authority
that the aviators under his command at
times almost revolted against him and
deliberately asked the War Department
that he be removed from the command.
Capt. Cowan was put in command. Capt.
Cowan is very popular with the aviators.
Lieut.. Harold Geiger remains in COM
mand of the flyers at San Diego. Geiger
is very popular man among his com
rades and all are pleased with him as a
leader.
Lieut. Harry Graham, known among
the army avistors as ''Stubbs." has sue
cessfully passed the examination for a
promotion to a captaincy. He will be
elevated in the ranks when the first
vacancy occurs. Graham has been flying
for about a year now and is considered
one of Uncle Sans" most reliable aerial

PLANS TO HASTEN
ALLEY IMPROVEMENTS
Auditor TweedaIe Announces that
About 100000 Is Available
for the Work.
Photo By National Photo Co.

Plans to obviate certain legal obsts-
cles and make the immediate expenditure
Of about 10000 for alley improvement
work possible, are being considered by
the District Commissioners. II these
plans are worked out. the present cam
paign for the elimination of the slums of
Washington would be greatly accelerated.
Auditor Tweedale has announced that
the District has to its credit $50. SIS which
can be used for the conversion Of alleys
into minor streets. The difficulty that
has stood in the way Of progress in
this work is the requirement of the law
that the entire cost OF the condemnations
for minor streets shall be assessed as
benefits.
District authorities favor an amend
ment to this law which will give to
juries discretionary powers in determin-
ing the amount of benefits to be as
sessed. II is very probable that the
Commissioners will petition Congress for
some such amendment. Bills for the
condemnation OF Shows Court and Goat
Alley have been completed by Corpora
tion Counsel Thomas and shortly will
be introduced into Congress through ef-
forts of sociological workers. They
have been turned over TO Walter g. Uf-
ford. secretary OF the Board Of Car
tiles.
The District Commissioners are heart
lily In favor of the movement to do away
with the blind courts and alleys. and
will report favorably upon legislation
giving them greater liberty in the prose-
cution OF this work.
