Opposed S.na:er Myers Bill

Washington. March Clone of the
most vigorous opponents in the senate
Of the Myers bill PROVIDING for the
safe to the Republic Coal company of
Montana, a sy'bsidls ry Of the Milwau-
kee railroad, is Senator Fall of New
Mexico. Senator Fall fought the bill
when it was before the senate last
week, and if the Montana senators are
successful in bringing it again before
the senate he will fight it again.
AS the bill was originally introduce
ed, it provided for the sale or lease
of the 1000 acres of coal land to the
coal company, and Secretary Lane did
not oppose it. AS it came from the
committee it provided for the sale only
of the land to the company, 'at a
price not less than the appraisement.'
Senator Walsh of Montana, offered a
number of amendments to the bill,
and they were as vigorously fought by
the New Mexican senator as the orig
inal measure.
Senator Walsh is chairman of the
senate committee on mines and min
ing, and during his speech Senator
Fall criticised him severely on other
bills which the Montana senator has
reported from his committee.

THE REAL WOODROW WILSON

President Wilson's remarkable pro-
test against the conception of his per-
sXlal character which the public has
generally accepted will make a vivid
impression on the country. 1t could
not be otherwise, since his comments
at the Press Club in Washington on
his own attitude and point of view
were delightfully."- unaffected and hui
man. What he said was both candid
and modest. He analysed himself
with all the grace and which
we have come to expect from urbane
psychologists like Henri Bergson. Any
suggestion of egOtism was dispelled
by the humor with which the president
lifted the official mask and tried to
appraise himself merely as the mar
who can still "at blessed intervals"
hold the cares and burdens of the
presidency at arms length.
The presidency is a lonely office.
General Harrison suffered acutely in
it because the people with whom he
came in contact-mOst of them neces-
sarily with axes to grind-considered
him reserved and unsympathetic. He
complained bitterly to his fellow init
mates of the judgment which the
world had formed of him, but he lack
ed the initiative and boldness to fight
such an impression as Mr.. Wilson is
now fighting it. No president would
be worth his salt if he did not take
the responsibilities of his office SER
iously enough to guard his confidence
and to be IN the alert to head off
politicians anxious to use him for their
selfish purposes and often act abrupt
ly if he wants to discharge the obliga-
tons imposed upon him as a distribut- |
or of patronage and as a party lead |
er.
Too great a friendliness to those
who imposed on his good nature was
Mr.. Taft's chief fault in the presiden-
cy. The country would gladly have
seen him more unapproachable and
suspicious and bonhomie in non-of-
fetal relations. Colonel Roosevelt
struck the happier mein, for although
he gave unhampered expression to all
his varied interests in men and things
and was by nature and habit compan-
ionable and expansive, he also knew
when to freeze up and to fight. IN
time the presidents who have not
been afraid to fight and to hold Of
the office seekers and politicians in
Washington have been those who have
made the greatest impression on his
Y. Tribune.

INDIFFERENCE IN POLITICS

When the cities and counties have
inferior government it is largely due
to the Indifference of citizens who, as
a general thing, cannot be persuaded
to take the same interest in the con
duct of their local government that
they take in the conduct of their bust
ness or in their family affairs, says the
Anaconda Standard. Every citizen
should be interested in the govern
ment of the community in which he
lives, for good government is essen
tial to the Wen being of the citizens
and has much to do with the prosper
ity OF the community.
All citizens are interested of cours
in the government Of the community
where are their interests. But as a
general thing their interest is of a
passive character. They want good
government, but they don't take any
interest i'll politics, they don't like pol.
itics and they leave political affairs
to the other fellows. The results are
seldom satisfactory and often they are
calamitous. 1t often happens that in.
feriOr or dangerous men are elected to
fill positions of great responsibility.
Often heretofore citizens have ex
planned their Indifference to political
affairs by the complaint hat the par.
ties are I'll by cliques or politicians
and that they couldn't accomplish any.
thing if they really tried. They may
have tried politics once or twice and
run up against the machine with the
result that they got reluctant ever
to take a hand in politics again. But
the politicians are out of it now. The
nominations are in the hands of the
people themselves. Conventions for
the nomination of candidates have
been eliminated and the candidates
are placed before the primaries by
petition. Each citizen has the same
opportunity as every other citizen to
make his vote count in the expression
of his choice at the direct primaries
as to who shall be the party's candi
date in his ward.
1t is hoped that this revolutionary
change in the method of conducting
political affairs will result in greater
interest being taken by citizens gen
orally in the nominations, the pri
maries and the election. If it does sc
result, the change will prove a gooC
thing. But if the citizens do not take
greater interest than they have here
tofore, then the new system will show
no improvement over the old system
and it may rel prove to be not sc
good.

empire pregnant with possibilities in
agriculture, which may put it ir the
front rank of commonwealth and Will,
a hydro-electric development highly
promising to manufacturing growth"
The eastern business man, his at
tention limited to the browning activi-
ties of his own environment, is apt to
fail to heed the march of progress in
/ parts of the country one o r two thous-
and miles away. Yet the fact and the
evidences of this progress are some
| thing not only to stir his pride, but
| possibly to have much to do with his
personal welfare in the future.
How many of us here in the East
have realized that more railroad con
tana and that more miles of surveys
and definite locations have been made
for new lines than in any similar area
on the continent? The Northern Pa
ciic is building branch lines in many
of the newer agricultural portions of
the state. The Great Northern is
pushing work at both ends Of what
virtually will be a new line from the
eastern to the western border. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul is
building upward of 500 miles of new
road through a rich wheat section, and

building a line across the northern
part of the state.
Governor Stewart points out that in
it's vast domain Of more than $4,000
square miles, Montana has resources
which are capable of supporting mil

something worth knowing. These re-

HOUSE SUPPORTS PRESIDENT
Repeal Of Tolls Exemption Favored by
Substantial Majority

Washington, March 31.-The house
Of representatives ;sfter one of the
most spectacular legislative struggle
in the history Of the nation, voted 10.
| night to repeal the provision of tha
! Panama canal act eXempting Ameri-
can vessels from the payment of tolls.
| The vote on the repeal bill was PAT
! to 161, a majority of Sc votes in sup
| port of the personal plea of President
Wilson.
This verdict on the issue, which has
absorbed congress for weeks, came at
the close of a day made memorable
in the annals of the house by a party
| division which found Speaker Clark
| Majority Leader Underwood and OTHER
democratic chieftains lined up in omen
opposition to the president on an Is
sue which the latter has declared
! vital to his conduct of the nations
foreign policy.
On the final vote, 220 democrats in
the house stood by the president, Civ
ing him in 'ungrudging measure
what he had asked, "for the honor of
the nation" in its foreign relations.
Twenty-four republicans, two progress
sives, and n Independent also vot.
ed to sustain the president. Fifty-two
democrats followed Speaker Clark and
Majority Leader Underwood to defeat
in their ~steadfast determination that
the president was wrong in his de-
cision that toll exemption for Amer
lean ships was a violation of the Hay.
Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain.
Nothing, it seemed, could stem the
tiGc of administration success Speak
er Clark, for nearly % years a mem.
her of the house, made the speec,, of
his life to forestall what he termed
'unqGestionabie degradation of me
nation. In this he failed, but he did
sicooth over the party breach with
kindly wards for his adversaries,
praise for President Wilson and an
unqualified denial of any vaulting am.
Cition on his own behalf.
When Speaker Clark had closed the
debate for the opposition to the repeal,
with an impassiored argument, he was
triumphant in defeat, for the entire
legislative assemElage, in which wee
many senators rose to cheer him.
