CHILDREN IN SHOALS.

When Theodore Roosevelt was in
California recently. a woman, the
mother Of seven children; her hus-
band. a workman who in times of
steady employment could not support
his family in comfort. and who had
been out OF a job for several months,
with no work in prospect.-submitted
this problem TO him:
Should she and her husband. she
asked, give additional hostages to for
tune by having mere children?
Col. Roosevelts answer was, in SUBJ
stance. yes. OF course 1t is your
duty 10 have children-the more, the
better Don't think Of the economic
problem. You will get along some
how"
This reply aroused the Indignation
of many women who think differently
on the big-family question. One Of
them has written an open letter con-
tanning this criticism:
Motherhood (and fatherhood.
too for that matter) among the
more highly civilized is more than
he physical act Of bringing OFF,
spring into the world. IL consists
partly of a mental attitude
reverence for life and a belief that
the creation and conservation of
life are the highest and hottest Of
human endeavOrs. This concep-
ton Of parenthOOd is, of course,
fundamentally opposed 10 the
doctrine that human beings
should be brought into the world
- in shoals. as carelessly and casual
Is as rabbits, rats or guinea pigs,
and as carelessly and casually
hustled out of the world again,
also in shoals.
Mr. Roosevelt's teachings are
rather horrible: Let us increase
and multiply blindly until the
country is Overrun with q half
nourished. ignorant population.
and then jOyously take the slight
est excuse TO turn some of our
surplus citizens into lannon's
meat.
II is well for the future of civil

AFTER STEWARDS SCALP.

Uneasy times are looming up for
the Stewart wing of the Democratic
party in this state, If reports eman-
ating from Missoula are true.
DR.. Edward Boone Craighead,
deposed head of the state university
aided, abetted and assisted by the
Walsh Democrats, is heralded as
the disturbing element. ,t
According to Missoula stories,
DR.. Craighead has no intention of
leaving Montana. He likes the state
and believes it has a great future,
but also believes that this future
canot be realized upon to any ex-
tent until there is a political regen-
GRAFTON. He is prepared to under
take this regeneration, and is now
securing capital for the publication
in Missoula of weekly independ-
ent newspaper.
Missoula rumors are to the effect
that the Walsh wing of the Demo-
cratic party is assisting the doctor
in his efforts. Walsh, say his sup
porters, has never had any real
support from the Stewart faction,
but that, on the other hand, every
time the opportunity presented it.
self, the Stewart machine has done
what it could to put walsh in
bad" If Stewart is reelected gov
ernor, he will then be in position
actively to thwart Senator Walsh's
campaign for reelection three years
hence. If Stewart is reelected,
Walsh's chances are decreased hiatt
much, say the senator's Supporters.
Craighead asserts, it is reported,
that during the two years Stewart
has been in power he has built up
a political machine more autocratic
than ever Tammany dared to be,
that it runs things with an iron
hand, and through the control of
the state board of examiners, holds
in thralldom all state institutions,
favoring those that knuckle down
and Furnishing others. Further,
that official life for elective state
officials VINO refuse to submit to the
dictation of the Stewart machine is
made as burdensome as possible,
and that undetermined efforts to
embarrass them are increasingly
persisted in.

says the Billings Gazette.

sentative business men from every
city and village and hamlet in the

Organized Publicity.

With the business men once as
sembled, Mr.. Newman said, a thor
oughly worked out plan of publicity
unique enough to attract attention
and practical enough to bring re-
suits, will be presented. With this
approved, permanent organization
OF state society Of business men
will be perfected SO that the most
widespread publicity campaign in
the history of the state may be
launched without delay.
Publicity experts, experienced in
every phase Of presenting to the
public the merits of anything from
a bar of soap to a state, will be en-
gagged to deliver addresses to the
business men, Mr.. Newman said
Although the plan of publicity is
practically complete, Mr.. Newman
said it would not be made public
until it is outlined in detail at the
meeting.
Bountiful Crops.
"The bumper crops of Montana
this year will establish the success
of dry land farming" declared Mr.
Newman. And it is a fact of note
that the prospects in this section of
the state are as good as they are
farther north, and the prospects OF
western Montana are as good as the
prospects of the eastern half. That
is of more than face Importance, for
it means the permanency of Mon
tana as one of the great agricultu-
raj states of America.
what we need now is some or
ganized eHort to advertise our ag-
ricultural opportunities in the mid
die and eastern states. There isn't
state in the Union holding forth
to settlers the opportunities Mon
tana does.
But we have 100000 acres OF
land homesteaded by people who
are not farmers-clerks, bookkeep-
ers, machinists, coming from every
walk in life in the east, experienced
in everything but agriculture. We
need farmers on that homestead
land, and it will be the purpose OF
the coming convention to launch a
movement that will bring them
here. And in the beginning we can
do nothing better than to let the
world know the record of Montana
products at the PanamaPacific Elk
position"
