SPECIAL LETTER BY R0MNE\

of Texas. Fighting shoulder to
shoulder with republicans and
progressives whose votes they
did not need, but whose moral
support was invaluable, the
splendid rank and file of democ-
racy defed all the recognized
powers of the house and carried
the day for national honor and
for Woodrow Wilson by a vote
of 247 to 1872.
The climax of the five-day
struggle came when Speaker
Clark, with Underwood in the
chair, dramatically entered the
house on the right of the ros-
trum and, after waiting for the
tumult of the mighty ovation to
pass, hurled the resonant thun-
ders of his oratory in a vain at
tempt to break the lines of the
gallant administration forces
and fell back defeated. Other
and greater speeches than Clark S
were made, but no man ever ad-
dressed a more enthusiastic, a
more sympathetic a more dis
tinguished audience. Twisting
the tail of the British lion is yet
a popular pastime in this coun-
try; the waving of the stars and
stripes goes to the heart more
forcibly than an appeal for an
abstract principle. The great
speech for the administration
forces was made by Palmer of
Pennsylvania. 1t was an admir-
ably phrased, convincingly Or
ganized plea, illumined with
those high lights that are added
by the finished orator. But when
the history of the debate is writ
ten, credit for making an un-
answerable argument for repeal
will be given to Stevens of Min
nesota, ranking republican men,
Der of the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce, who
declared amid deafening cheers
that he was patriotic enough to
follow a democratic president
who is right"
The debate ran the range of
history, sounded the depths of
human experience and emotions.
At times the appeal was to the
cold processes of reason, at other
times to the fine frenzy of patri-
otism, and again to that prim u
instinct of man that cries out for
retaliation and demands oppor-
tunity to kill real or fancied
enemies. The orator who sought
to rouse 'the spirit of '76" was
followed by the speaker who
led his hearers to the plane of
national honor and pictured the
beauty of the comfy of nations.

DIX. M'BR|OE AND ECAN
ELECTED TOWN ALDERMEN

At the election held Monday in
Roman, with no interest taken in
the result. a very light vote was
polled. In the first ward A. A.
Dix was reelected, there being
no opposition. In the second
ward Ralph Mcbride was sue
cessful, and in the third ward
w. ], Egan secured all the votes.
The election was so quiet that
very few realized an election was
on and the vote indicated very
little interest by anybody.
These officers take their chairs
the first Monday in May and are
expected to fill the requirements
up to the letter.

The heroes of the past were
called from their immortal sleep
Washington. Jefferson. Frank
lin, Jackson, Clay Lincoln l. those
great figures that stalk like gil
gantic shadows across the pages
of American history. And for
every sentiment and every
speaker there was applause from
some section of the congested
hundreds in the galleries, who
divided along lines as sharp as
those that separated the gladi-
ators in the arena below.
An analysis of the vote shows
how completely party lines were
leveled by the repeal issue. One
fifth of the democratic members
opposed repeal, one-ffth of the
republican members favored the
step, one-seventh of the progress
sive party members supported
the president. Fitzgerald of
Tammany hall led fourteen Tam
many democrats against the adj
ministration. Lenroot, the La
Toilette of the house, fought
valiantly for repeal. Lindbergh
of Minnesota, chairman of the
congressional campaign COM
mittee of the progressive party,
spoke for the administration.
How political capital can be made
by any party out of the conflict
is puzzling the observers here.
The speeches of Clark and Un-
derwood in the republican cam
paign textbook will be neutral
lied by the speeches of Stevens
and Gardner in the democratic
document.
1t is believed in Washington
that the tolls fight has established
the party leadership of Wood
row Wilson more firmly than
ever, and that after the expert
ence of the house leaders in op-
posing his program, his author
ity will not again be threatened
during the life of the present
congress, if not of the admins
tration. At the same time the
opinion is freely expressed that
his victory on an issue over which
public opinion could so naturally
and periodically divide could not
have been achieved before he
won the confidence Of the coun-
try through the passage of the
new tariff and currency laws.
Representatives Stout and
Evans Of Montana, supported the
president in the fight for repeal
of the provision of the canal act
exempting American coastwise
vessels from the payment Of
tolls. That the sentiment of
Montana democrats was with the
administration was indicated by
kilograms received by Mr.. Evans
from prominent democrats from
all parts of the state urging him
to stand by the administration.
The fight over the Sims bill is
now transferred to the senate,
where, with no closure rule pos
sible, debate may last two weeks
or two months. Administration
leaders, however, confident of
success, plan to press the issue
to as early a conclusion as pos
sible.

There is much more land
plowed between Roman and St.

fore, and it looks like the acre.

valley would be doubled at least.
There is much to be pleased over
when this fact is known.
The Epworth League of the

after which they served sherbet

A letter last week from Miss
Byrl Rathbone, who is attending
the university of Southern Min
nesota, at Austin, told of her
having an attack of diphtheria
and scarlet fever. After being
treated with anti-toxin she re-
covered rapidly and is now in
school again.
John Nadrau, Mike Nice and
j. D. Glathart are prospecting
near Big Fork this week, where
the former has located some
mineral claims, and the party
will locate others while there.
Mr.. Nadrau brought home the
last time he was up there some
samples of ore taken from one of
his prospects and he believes he
has something which will prove
very rich. He expects to do
some development work there
this season.
Last week a want adv. was
printed in the Pioneer for 500
pounds of Velvet Chaff wheat.
Frank Doser saw the adv. and
came in Tuesday and sold the
wheat, thus two men were bene-
fitted by the advertisement-the
man who wanted to buy and the
man who had the wheat for sale.
Had Mr.. Doser not been a SUBJ
scriber he would never have
known of the adv. and would
have lost a sale. 1t pays to be a

A somewhat peculiar lesson has
been learned by some wlde-awake
farmers of Whatcom county. Some
time ago they put down several miles
of thing for drainage purposes. In
nine months, according to news re-
ports. 1t was discovered that the TIL
ing was rotten and was crumbllng to
pieces. This was so unusual thaC
these farmers called the government s
attention to the matter and Professor
Benson of the Chemistry Department
of the University made an investlga-
ton. He found that the acid IN the
boys which it was proposed to drain
was the cause of the trouble. 1t is
now said that a new formula for max
ing thing and cement has been work
ed out by the professors which Will
hereafter obviate this trouble. There
is a lesson in this for men who at
tempt to drain bog lands hereafter.

Though Seattle made a splendid
showing in her fight for the establish
ment of one of the regional banks,
and had almost the unanimous sup
port of Washington bankers, it is
very doubtful if the city will win.
1t is required that the banks of the
division subscribe at least 81, 600, 600.
of stock for the new bank and if all
the National banks of the Pacific
Northwest subscribed the maximum
amount of per cent it would not
reach the amount required. Govern
or Lister assured the committee,
however, that the state banks would
also subscribe and enough could be
obtained for the remainder. From
the remarks of Secretary McAdoo it
is very evident that the committee
will not recommend Seattle. Outside
of the advertising features of the
matter, however, it is doubtful ii any
great amount of good would be ac-
complished by the establishment of
bank in Seattle. All of the business
interests will be just as we'll served
from San Francisco, though of course
it would be a nice boost for Seattle.
The fact too that Seattle will be the
center of the Alaska development
which is now sure to come, would
make it exceptionally available as
one of the reserve bank cities.

A government bulletin from the
Department of Agriculture issued
early in February shows that the
shortage of meat animals in the
United States is real fact and not a
theory. Beef cattle decreased from
Al, ITO, 900 in 1910 to 35, 855, 0OO in Jan
uary 1, 1914. This is a decrease of
more than 5000, 900 animals or IL per
cent; an average decrease for the
four years of 3 per cent annually.
The number of hogs in 1910 was 5S.
1856, 900, in January 1914 was So, 933, =
600, being an increase of TAT, 900, or a
little more than one per cent in four
years. This is very small increase,
but is somewhat encouraging. The
number of sheep in 1910 was SO, 448, =
600, January l, 1914 the number was
40, 719. 00O decrease OF nearly 3, 600, =
900, Or per cent, an annual decrease
of 1.3. While these figures are dis
couraging to the average meat buyer
they should be encouraging to the
men who are attempting to rebuild
the livestock industry in the United
States for it assures good prices.
The most unfortunate part of this re-
port, however, is the showing that
the constant decrease of meat animals
has been going on while there has
been a constant increase in our popu-
lation. This looks as though the day
of cheap meat in the United States
surely had passed.

this is one of the most successful

One of the most practical evidences
of the increasing prosperity is the
fact that the Union Pacific Railway
systems have recently placed an or

cost of these will run between five
and six million dollars. Practically
all of the lumber to be used in this
order will be bought from Pacific
Northwest lumbermen and it means a

this country. A large majority OF
these cars are stock cars. Six hun
