STRIKE FROM THE INSIDE,

One of the most important deClara- dons which have been made in connec- ton with the movement which has been undertaken for the getting to- gether of the republican party forces in this state. Is that which has been made by ex-Governor Woodruff when he states that it is from within and not from without that the effort should come for the strengthening of party sorganiza ton. The need of the party realizing its responsibility and it's duty to itself is emphasized when he says that whatever evils may exist in the republican party should be attended to by members of the republican party without asking assistance from the members of any other party. It is an affair with which republicans and re pubheans alone should deal in my judgment"
 EH- Governor Woodruff has set forth truth in no unmistakable terms Un- less the weaknesses are eliminated and an effort made from within to maintain an organization which will inspire con 6dence and attract support it must continue to fail to get the recognition which it deserves and which it would otherwise receive. Getting on the out side and throwing stones, that some one else may profit thereby is doing no good to the injured or to the thrower in the attainment of such objects as are mutually desired What will ac- complish the most good is an earnest and united effort from within bent upon accomplishing whatever house. cleaning is necessary. The greater the distance between any political party and the evils which are apt to beset it the better for such an organization. The ex-governor has made a sugges- ton which goes to the bottom of the matter and should leave no doubt as to where he stands.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Happiness.

It is worth while to try any recipe for happiness.
 Here is one that at least is to be commended for it's simplicity and for the fact that it is within the reach of all:
 It is to rid yourself of your notion of your rights.
 Think bit and you will see that the greater part of all the indignitIes, chagrins and humiliations you have had to endure arises from certain ideas you entertain about what is due you.
 If you can knead your mind about until you come to the conclusion that nothing at all is due you, happiness is pretty sure to come in and take permanent lodgings in your heart.
 Most of us have contempt for manipulating our minds to suit the inevitable. and an admiration for those of us who can coerce events to suit our desires.
 But, for instance, suppose, when you awake in the morning. before you get out of bed to do your gymnas- tics. you do a little mental exercise. Ask yourself: Why should any one love me Why should I be sought, admired or praised? What right have I to health or wealth? Others suffer; why should I be happy? l have no claims on the universe. so if anything good comes my way to-day l shall consider myself in luck"
 Before you get up clean out of your mind every feeling of your rights and see what kind of a day you will have
 Don't try for more than one day, at first, for it will tax your forces.
 Old habits of thought will bring constant suggestions that you are be- ing abused, imposed upon, that you are oppressed and devoured.
 Be patient Put these ideas away. Try, just one day, to act on the the ory that you have no rights at all.

confidence of the depositors could not be so glaringly outraged. The people need to be protected from it the same as from swindle.
 The Siegel revelation also calls at tention again to the guilibility of the public and the willingness to take chances with their money to get a slight advance in interest without req sonable assurance of the wisdom of the course. Because the offering is made attractive it is accepted with depend ence, as in this case placed upon the business ability of the head of the con- cern. The necessity of overcoming such risks has been revealed to New York in a manner which should result in improved regulations for private banks

The Reason.

To the Editor: Looking through the various New York papers on Sunday, my guileless masculine eyes fairly bulged over the fearful and remarExa ble feminine styles, therein pictured Whence originate these nightmares, do you think Surely, only the brain of a Cubist dressmaker could conceive such monstrosities!
 l pondered over this absorbing mat ter a while-then, quite by chance. iii well known magazine, found an ar ticle which solved the mystery and gave the reason for such queer fash ions Here it is, copied exactly for you to read:
 The caryatid of the latest feminine mistakes and misbehayior, the suf- fragist. is incriminated also. in this trial of woman's dress. For they do say that her antics and advice have made women banker to don the en- Vlable trouser and that this is the ultima Thule of the present tenden- cies. Will women wear trousers in 1914?"
 Oh. lovely women. won't you please Desist from styles grotesque as these BACHELOR. P. s. But. an the women do wear trousers in 1914, in that case they can be their own sandwich men. instead of hiring youths of uncertain age to be i their proxies!

The announcenent that the depos- itors in the Siegel department store bank are to receive about 14 1-2 per cent. of the money which they entrust- ed to that branch of the big business house is one of the many lessons which are constantly being furnished for the guidance of people who have money which they wish to place at interest with assurance of safety. and for the aid of the state bank commissioners in obtaining additional bank 1egisla- ton.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Suffragists and the Liquor Cues
 ton.

tion
 MT. Editor: What have women done for temperance in the states where they can vote? Many conscientious, high minded women who are work ing for temperance have favored the enfranchisement of women because they thought it would help their cause But what are the facts? One would naturally suppose that a large propor- ton Of the states where women vote would be prohibition states. This is not the case. Far from it. Here are nine prohibition states-Georgia, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee West Virginia and Kansas. In of these women do not vote. In the 9th, Kansas, prohibition existed be- fore women had the ballot.
 Even stranger than the fact that women have not voted for temperance is the fact that they have voted against it. In Denver a bill was pro posed forbidding cafe owners to sell liquor to women. Did it meet with the support of the women who had been loudly boasting of the reforms they would institute? No. The Col orado Equal Suffrage association sent formal protest to the city council In Phoenix, Arizona. the women blocked prohibition and voted to keep the saloons open. After women voted in Los Angeles, several districts, where
 
 the saloons, 3 to l. In Illinois women are actually being organized to vote for the liquor interests at the next cleo tion.
 Such facts deserve careful consider ation, so do the statements of the suf- fragists themselves in recent cam paigns in the west. They repeatedly tried to win favor with the men in their audiences by assuring them that they would not interfere with their drinking. Mrs. Ida Porter Boyer went so far as to say. If a man wants to smoke or drink or go to a horse race or to see some man batter another, that is his business and none of mine. Suffrage will never attack personal liberties" Such utterances lead one to doubt whether the wQman's vote will uplift the community after all. At any rate one thing is clear: Among the numerous reforms which the suf- fragists assure us will result from their enfranchisement there is no hope of a remedy for the terrible evil of in temperance.

CANADIAN PEACE SENTIMENT

The widespread effort which is being made in behalf of International peace must of necessity make slow progress. That it is progressing at all is the cause for more or less satisfaction when the scope of the momentous un- dertaking is realized. It is a matter which concerns not one alone, but all the important nations and whenever attained will be as the result of per sistent study and education.
 In this connection it is an interest ing report which is made by Dr. w. E. Darby of the British Peace society who has just completed an extensive tour of Canada in behalf of the peace move ment when he declares that his trip was wonderfully successful and that he found much enthusiasm, marked earnestness and practical unanimity against aggressive naval policy and militarism."
 That he should gain such favor able impression, regardless of the fact that from his interested position he might fail to judge rightly of the op- position, indicates that the peace movement is gaining strength in the dominion, as it is elsewhere through a recognition of the benefits of peace in contrast to the horrors of war, and a realiza tiom that the same ends can better be reached through its influence. Canada must realize, as does other countries, that more is to be attained through the development of resources and economic justice than by over developing army and navy. It is req sonable to believe before exceeding the point of adequate protection that better results will be attained by lay ing stress upon peace.

The morning after hIs wife had de
 parted Pinndrum concluded that he
 might as well get his own frugal
 breakfasts instead of going to the
 cafes. The first coffee pot he used
 boiled over, so he set it on the sink
 ledge and tried another. In prepar-
 ing the coffee, toast and eggs Pinndrum
 used besides the coffee pots three
 bowls, an egg beater four large spoons
 five plates, two frying pans and a lot
 of assorted silver. All this required
 time, so, being late, he piled them on
 the sink with the discarded conee pot.
 With slight variations he did this
 each morning while his wife was

 That night, wishing to attend 8.
 banquet, Pinndrum, with fifteen min
 utes to shave and dress, made a wild dash into his closet. Heretofore his
 evening things had always met him
 carefully laid out on the bed, with
 studs in place and even a fresh hand
 kerchief in order. He gazed blankly into the closet depths At each wild jerk a pair of trousers fell to the floor or a suit slid off it's hanger He was too busy to stop then Finally he found the dress suit neatly incased in a mothproof bag. Before he had traced to their lairs an evening shirt, tie. studs and other paraphernalia the closet and room looked as though an energetic burglar had hastily SedTCAeu IEe premises Every yawned and spilled things, ties snarl- ed on the floor, handkerchiefs dripped across the chiffonier face. Pinndrum kicked the ties underneath the furni- ture, tried to cram back the unabaSh- ed contents of the drawers and gave 1t up. He decided that he would at tend to these details when he had more time
 The next morning he slept late and had considerable difficulty in extract ing the business suit that nc wished to wear from the piles of clothing on
 the chairs. The suit was horribly
 wrinkIed, to his disgust.
 Pinndrum had some men in for bridge the next evening. Before he had routed out the cards and ash trays and the table he had turned a closet endwise, dumped everything from two library table drawers and paved madly through the writing
 desk. After his guests left Pinndrum kicked the spilled cards under the chairs and he totally forgot to empty the ash trays. The plates of leftover sandwiches he had bought ana the glasses and bottles he set out of the way on the dining room table He would attend to them when he got breakfast the next morning.
 Something began to seem wrong with his home. The main. difficulty was in finding things. An amazing accumulation of garments, shirts, soiled collars and cuffs and bathrobes filtered every chair in his bedroom. Amid this mass he would frantically 1 Towels seemed to disappear myster-

Down With Inoompetents.

MT. Editor: Mr C. l.. Lamphere in
 his letter of March 26th, nailed some
 gospel truth in more than one instance
 no more so than when he said, Sen
 ator Brandegee is a strong man. MT.
 Brandegee may, probably will vote
 against the free toll clause of the
 Panama law, but just see how many times he has voted right, even if he is wrong this time. Not only that,
 but Senator Brandegee is usually in his seat when the roll is called. not building roads in another part of the country as is the case with a mem bet of congress well known to MT. c. l.. Lamphere
 Yes. Senator Brandegee probably will vote against free tolls but is it not a fact that some of the men who are certain to vote the other way (possibly Congressman Mahan among them) have on several important is sues. most notably the tariff bill re- gently passed, voted dead against Con- necticut interests?
 I doubt very much whether a man who is alive to the interest of his dis trict all the time" would be absent from his seat more than half the time q happen to read the Congressional Record daily), and l also doubt the fact that a man who promises to look out for the interests of wooden and cotton manufacturers, and then goes to Washington and votes dead against what those mill men say are for their interest, is to be even considered in the same article as Frank B.
