OPPORTUNITY.

They do me wrong who say l come no more, When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day l stand outside
 your door And bid you wake, and rise to
 fight and win. Vail not for the precious chanc-
 es passed away, Weep not for the golden ages or
 the wane; Each night I burn the records of
 the day; At sunrise every soul is born
 again. Laugh like a boy at splendors
 that have sped. To vanished joys be blind ana
 deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead
 past with it's dead, But never bind a moment yet to
 come. Though deep in mire, wiring not your hands and weep; I lend my arm to all who say l can! No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man. Dost thou behold thy lost youth
 all aghast? IDost reel from righteous retri- l DutlOn'S DlOW Then turn from plotted archives of the past, And find the futures pages
 white as snow. Art thou mourner? Rouse
 thee from thy spell. Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven! Each morning gives thee wings
 to flee from hell, Each night a star to guide thy
 feet to heaven.

 friend seems near. I've learned my knowledge by sheer hard work, and l wish l
 could pass it on To the fellow who'll come to take my place some day when l am gone. Will he see all the sad mistakes I've made and note all the bat ties lost? Will he ever guess of the tears they caused, or the heartaches which they cost? Will he gaze through the fail ures and fruitless toll to the
 underlying plan. And catch a glimpse of the real intent and the heart of the
 vanquished man? dare to hope he may pause some day as he tolls as l have
 wrought, And gain some strength for his weary task from the battles which I have fought. But I've only the task itself to leave with the cares for him

Will Not Pardon Dynamiters

Washington, June 9.-Attorney
General McReynolds today took to the
cabinet meeting his recommendations
on the appeal for executive clemency
Of Frank M. Ryan, former president
of the Structural Iron Workers, and
20 other men convicted on the dyna-
mite cases several days Ago..
While no official announcement of
the determination of the attorney gen
eral was made, it was understood i in
circles close to the president that his
recommendations were unfavorable
to the appeal. It was said Mr.. Nc
Reynolds took the ground that the
men had been given a thorough trial
and that there was no good reason
existing for it by the president.
1t was regarded as probable that
the president would approve the find.
ings of the attorney general. The
convictioed men will now have to
surrender themselves at Leavenworth
or to United States marshal before
June 25 to begin serving their sentenc.

Montana Favors Woman Suffrage

Washington, June 9.-Senator T. J.
Walsh of Montana believes that wO-
MAJ suffrage will carry in Montana
this year. Senator Walsh supported
the suffrage amendment when it was
before the senate and he is a believer
in oma suffrage.
81 think suffrage will carry in Mon.
tana this year., as the sentiment in
favor of it seems to be growing" said
Senator Walsh. zone reason for my
belief is that woman suffrage is pop
ular in the agricultural districts. The
people in the agricultural districts
are taking a broad and comprehensive
view of public questions and this in.
cludes the women as we'll as men.
Ordinarily it is expected that the
cities and thickly settled communities
would be opposed to woman suffrage,
but in Montana the labor interests
are IN important factor. The labor
unions are for suffrage and Montana
is very strongly unionized. This will
insure a very large suffrage vote in
the mining districts, and they with
the agricultural districts, should car
ry the state"

A War Every Three Years

In spite of the progress of civiliza-
ton, man remains a fighting animal.
Peace societies begin to think they
are making progress toward tanning
his instincts, and they are confronted
by another war. Here is a partial
list of the wars of the northern hem
isphere in the last 60 years, exclusive
of the minor revolts in northern South
America, in Central America. and the
West Indies, and in Africa:
Crimean war, 1S54-56.
SepOy mutiny, 1857.
Italy and France against Austria,
1859.
Civil war in America. 1S61-65.
Mexico invaded by Austria and al
lies, 1S61-67.
Prussia and Austria against Den
mark, 1864.
Seven weeks war, Austro-Prussian,
1866.
Franco-PrusSian. 1870.
Russo-Turkish, 1S77-7S.
Servo-Bulgarian, 1885.
Japanese-Chinese, 1S9+-95.
Greco-Turkish, 1879.
Spanish-American, .1S9S.
Filipino-American, 1899.
China against the allies, 1900.
BOer war. 1S99-l9O2.
Russo-Japanese. 1904.
Balkan states against Turkey. 1912.
Balkan states against Bulgaria,
1913.
Mexican war, 1914.
This, as has been said. is only a
partial list. England has had several
small wars, including the important
conquest of Sudan, which are not in
cluded, and there have been numer-
Gus minor disturbances of one sort
and another. But the list includes
20 fair-sized wars. or one every three
years.
. There has been no falling off in re.
. cent years. Take the last two de-
cades, for instance. and there have
been 10 wars, or one every two years.

PLAN OF P%ACIFICATION
Settlement Of Mexican Problem Now
Awaits Carranza's Accordance

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 9.-The
mediators today submitted to the
, Mexican delegates the counter nro.
posals of the American government
for the p%acifcation of Mexico. Tie
American plan is with notifications
the same as which the mediators and
Mexican delegates recently agreed ND.
On and which General Huerta approy.
ed. It provides the method of trans.
ferring the executive power in Mexico
City from the present regime to a new
provisional government, which shall
in a few months conduct elections for
president, vice president and members
Of congress-.
No m have been agreed upon
between the Mexican or American
delegates for the new provisional
president or his cabinet. In fact
neither side has yet made it's nomina-
tons.
Final approval is not expected I'M
mediately from either party, however,
as the mediators then will ask the
American delegates to begin to ascer-
tain the attitude of the constitution
alists. This may proceed through the
Washington government or in any
manner the delegates choose. The
mediators will take a brief recess in
the meantime.
Should there be any new sugges.
tons from the constitutionalists the
United States government will en-.
deavor to arrive at a compromise with
them. When an agreement is reached
the results will again be placed before
the mediation board and the Huerta
delegates.

THE NEW PRIMARY LAW

The announcement that a suit will
be brought to test the initiative and
referendum amendment, under which
the direct primary law was enacted
by popular vote, is not discouraging
the filing of nomination papers by
candidates in several of the counties.
There is very little doing in Chouteau
county in this connection, but in other
counties a number of nominating Pc
titions have already been filed.
There is plenty of time in which to
comply with the requirements of the
law, should it remain in effect. Can
didates for nomination for state Of
fees must file their petitions with the
secretary Of state at least 20 days be-
fore the date of the primary nominal
ing election. Candidates for nomina-
ton for county offices must file their
petitions with the county clerk at
least Is days before the date of the
primary nominating election. The
election this year will be held August
20.
The provisions of the direct primary
law require that candidates for all
offices must, before or at the time of
beginning to circulate their petitions
for nomination, file with the secre-
tary of state or with the county
clerk, as the case may be, a copy of
their petition, signed by themselves
alone.
Each sheet of the nominating petit
ton of any candidate must be veri.
fed by one or more of the signers of
such sheet, setting forth that he or
they is OF r personally acquainted
with all the signers on the sheet;
that their signatures are genuine;
that their postoffice addresses are cor
given, and that they are quail.
fled electors and members of the par
ty on whose ticket the candidate
wishes to be nominated.
Each petition must contain the
names of at least 2 per cent of the
vote cast for congressman at the last
general election, provided that the
number required on a petition for
nomination to a state Office shall not
exceed 1000, nor in any other case
500.
Any qualified elector may sign as
many petitions for nomination to any
particular Office as he may desire to
for his W political party, but nc
member of any II party may sig!
the petition for nomination of a can
didate of some other political party
If the attack upon the initiative
amendment results in defeating the
voted for it, the direct primary law
will be null and void, and it will be
necessary to return to the party con
vention plan of nominating candidates
for public Office.

California Volcano in Eruption

Redding, Cal, June 9.-Daylight
brought proof today that the eruption
yesterday of Mount Lassen was the
most violent that has occurred yet.
The snowy summit Of the peak, which
yesterday morning showed bright
white was again blackened today by
the volcanic ashes poured forth over
night.
Appearances indicate that the vol
m of ash and scpriae from the lat
est outbreak is far greater than the
first outbreak, which covered an area
of 100 acres to a depth of a quarter Of
an inch and has been estimated to
have weighed 10000 tons.

The department of agriculture al

explicitly it declares that it forecasts

his kilograms from all over the coun.
in a dark cellar as from the top of a
s~kyscraper. The weather man
through the telegraph sees the storm
1000 miles away and every other
storm in the country, knows which
way each is headed and how fast it
moves, and calculates the time it is
due at each station on its route. At
500 o'clock in the morning and 500
O'Clock at night 200 observers at
American and Canadian points tele-
graph their observations to Washing

of the wind and the amount of rain.

From these reports the Washington
weather bureau complies it's map of
American weather. Comparison of
the two daily maps enables the bu-
rea to keep it's finger on clear wealth
err and on stormy weather and to pre-
dict the weather a day or two ahead
in 200 territories.
But prediction is not so simple as
it sounds. Highs" and Flows" as
great and small barometric pressures
are respectively named, although
travelling from west to east, do not
travel exactly SO nor at the same rate
of speed invariably. They are affect.
ed by storms, mountains, large bodies
of water and like factors and they vary
in velocity during their travels. Con.
%sequently, forecasting becomes a COM
plicated process. The progress, how
ever, of these atmospheric areas of
high or low pressure is the fundamen-
tai factor in f%orecasting the weather,
while on the other hand there are
many forces or conditions to be con-
sidered that may make exceptions
even to the ruling principle. Pres.

the weather and determines rain
