About the only stir the war news
created yesterday was 10 elicit the ex-
preston of a hope that
QU1E the strain of interna-
CALM national strife will not
prove too much for the
secretary of state Yesterday morn
ing's dispatches had the president
packing his grip to pay Mrs. Wilson
rotary Bryan preparing for his trip
to his Florida farm Then Huerta
insisted that we fire our big guns lust
as often and at the same time as he
shoots his popguns. That of course.
IS an insult to our national dignity
that calls for the most strenuous re-
prisai. And yesterdays gossip around
the bulletin boards was all concerning
the effect which this latest develop
ment in the warfare might have upon
the health of the administration. Aside
from that. Missoula went about it's
seasonable business of making flower
beds and planning for the dancing
party and wondering If it would be
possible to buy d neW-style automo-
bile. There is nobody who blames the
secretary of state for wanting to get
on the farm and away from the state
department. On the farm he probably
has something TO say and the folks
there probably pay some attention to
what he does say Which is very diff
ferent from the situation at Washing
ton Nobody there appears to con-
slider the state department. All of the
Mexico correspondence seems to go
right to the president and he handles
the business himself. But Mr.. Bryan
IS ornamental and that is something.

taken, he shows to fine advantage.

century the city was a flourishing
commercial town, under the rule Of
Bohemia. but in the year 999 Boles-

the Bohemian troops and drove their

Cracow received her first taste of

Among the most famous of the an

are ST. Andrews church, the Wawei

outer fortress, is in excellent condi-

Wants Treasurer's Salary Reduced

Denrer-Allison Stocker, state
.reasurer-elect, favors a reduction OF
the salary of the office which he will
socn occupy. The salary is now $6,.
300, which is $1,000 more than the
governor receives. 1t was increased
several years ago by the Legislature
and made higher than that of the
chief execrtive in order that those
who become treasurer might meet the
expenses of the $1,000,00O bonds re-
1uired of them. Stocker would have
the salary reduced to $4,000 and would
have the state government pay the
expenses of the bonds in order that
the treasurer might be free from his
bondsmen in all respects as to the
conduct of his office.

center Of two serious revolts, in which

anew in the hearts Of the latter War
sovians. In late years, even under
the more liberal government, many of
the wealthy Poles have retired from
Warsaw, giving up their business and
friends, to live lives of seclusion on
little farms few miles from the
city. Here they may live their lives
in peace and Quietude, teaching their
children the ideals of old Poland and
the hate for the car Many of the

their daily life and striving to better

HAS seen A LIGHT.
Amos Pinchot a Much DisilIu-
stoned Man.
With Former Governor Hadiey Of Mis-.
souri, He Has Come to Realize the
Hoilowness Of Progressive
Party Claims.

Amos Pinchot is disillusioned. He
has discovered the clay feet of his
idol. He makes one Of q large and
dour company.
Mr.. Pinchot confessed in frank and
manly fashion. He believed at the
start implicitly in the party called
Progressive and its leader. In his
minds eye he saw a new era dawn
ing. Wrongs were to be righted. Old
policies were to be abandoned. and
new policies adopted. Special priv
ilege was to die the death. Larger
opportunities for all-even the hum
blest-were to be established
The presence of certain trusts near
the throne disquieted Mr.. Pinchot. He
could not associate them with the fine.
new. rosy and virtuous purpose. What
did their presence near the throne
mean? What did it foresLadow?
In order to be sure, Mr.. Pinchot
wrote to Mr. Roosevelt, putting the
matter plainly. In reply he received
what must have affected him as a re-
buke. Mr. Roosevelt did not share
in Mr.. Pinchot's uneasiness. The Pro-
gressive movement to be successful
must be practical; must appeal to
and have the support of practical men.
Let not Mr.. Pinchot's heart be trou-
bled. Mr.. Perkins was a friend, not
an enemy
But Mr.. Pinchot was not assured.
His doubts increased. unt:' he Is now
convinced. not only of the misman-
agement of the Progressive cause, but
that the Progressive party is done
for.
Mr.. Pinchot is man of ability and
observation, and the wonder is he did
not earlier get wise" to the real sit
uation. There were men as ardent as
he for certain reforms in public poll
cies, but never for a moment in doubt
about the Influences controlling Mr.
Roosevelt in his assaults on the party
which had made him anc the men
who had lifted him from helplessness
10 power. They saw that the pro-
gressivism of Mr.. Roosevelt was but
d bid for return to the White
House--that it represented that pur-
pose and no other.
Former Governor Hadley Of Mis-
souri, was of this n4mber. He attend
ed the Chicago convention OF two
years ago, where Mr.. Roosevelt made
his grand-stand play, and this is what
Governor Hadley says on the subject:
The country has never regarded
the Progressive party as anything
more than division of the Republic

vided the parties were essentially diff
ferences over matters of political con-
troll. and not differences over princi-
pies and policies. have in my pos

Y THE broad Vistula river, on
ancient Poland's soil, lie two
famous age-torn cities, around
which have centered the rise
and fall Of one of the mightiest
nations in history. Before their gates
and within their walls have been
bered and for thousand years they
have known the sorrow of death and
destruction-and ofttimes the glories
of victory. In the valley of the stream
whose banks they adorn a new con-
fiict is raging today. On the outcome
of this struggle may rest their fate
in the years that are yet unborn, says
the Philadelphia Record.
Cracow and Warsaw, the cities are
one the capital OF Poland's kings
when the nation was in its prime;
the second the home of that glorious
hero, Kosciusko, who led the people
in their bloody war for independence
after invaders had seized their
land. Through the centuries OF
their country's prosperity and the
dark years Of grief the beautiful
old towns have nurtured and cherished
the ideals of the Polish people, and
today they house the only remaining
relics of that once proud nation which
long since ceased to exist.
One Of Them Must Suffer.
Shortly after the beginning of the
present European war the czar OF Rus
sia issued proclamation, promising
self-government and religious and ra-
cial freedom to the Poles within his
domain in return for their support
In battle. A similar pledge was made
by Germany to that part of the an
cient kingdom now ruled by her. Aus
tria called on all her Poles for loyal
ty, pointing to the freedom and kind
ness accorded them in the past. Thus
1t was that Poles were arrayed against
Poles, the followers OF Russia striving
to capture Cracow and the Austro-
German armies aiming at Warsaw.
No matter who is victorious it Ia GER
tain that one of these cities will
suffer. Should the Russians in the
end hold Cracow, its people will be
made to pay dearly for their defiance
of the czar If the Austro-Germans
triumph, and Warsaw is finally theirs,
she will give no less price for her
opposition to the kaiser.
While Warsaw has been the center
of agitation for the restoration of
Poland in late years, Cracow was
thriving city before Warsaw came into
being. It is in the older city that
