POOR IN ARGUMENT
Republican Error Marks Beuin.
ming of Campaign.
Assertion That Present Prosperity Is
Only Temporary Will Have Little
Effect on the Voter Conver.
SAINT With History.

Chairman Wilcox assures the peo.
pie that prosperity is only temporary,
hoping to scare many people who are
enjoying 1t into voting the Republican
ticket, remarks a correspondent of the
New York World. Perhaps Chairman
Wilcox Is right, for while Democrats
are calling attention to it, no one is
taking out an insurance policy on its
permanency. To do so would be to fy
in the face of history.
From the close Of the Civil war I'M
to 1873 this country enjoyed unprece-
denied flush times. Mark Twain called
it the "gilded age" so lavish were GER
tain people with their money. The
Morrill, tariff law was In force, the Re-
publican party in power. But despite
the assurance Of leaders of that party
that all this prosperity was the result
OF Republican rule and was bound to
stay, the crash of 1873 came and ruin
followed in Its wake the like Of which
the country had never known. Good
times came back shortly after Cleve-
land was elected, and endured up to
1891, when, through the evil influence
of Harrison's administration and the
Mckinley tariff, another panic came,
and again business suffered.
In the autumn Of 1896 affairs began
to right themselves. A new tariff law
was w~ritten-the great Dingley bill
the Spanish and Boer wars came, new
gold mines were opened, and again
prosperity strobe forth, all smiles and
hope. Again our Republican know-it-
alls pointed to good times as the result
Of Republican management.
Then came November, 1907, and with
1t a monetary crisis that shook the
country from Atlantic to Pacific, from
Duluth to Key West, causing practi-
cally every bank in the country to sus-
pend payments and locking up every
dollar Of deposits for many dreary
months. From the ruinous effects Of
the panic of 1907 the country did not
fully recover for over seven years.
Mr.. Wilcox is simply p~arroting Mr..
Hughes, who seems to have borrowed
many of his ideas from Theodore
Roosevelt. and, Of course, predicts
early failure of our splendid prosperity
because it Is Democratic and brought
out under Democratic auspices. This
at best Is a very silly reason and one
you would hardly expect to emanate
from men who %arrogate to themselves
all wisdom.

NORTHWEST IS WITH WILSON
Many Reasons Why the Democrats Can
confidently Count Upon Victory
in Those States.

Once upon a time the northwest
was regarded as safely Republican.
n rightly So" remarked j. Bruce
hremer of Butte, Democratic national
committeeman for Montana, in an in
terview at Washington. "But that
time has passed, and now the north
west Is not only debatable territory
but Is leaning largely to the Democ-
racy. If u Republican friends are
counting on carrying the northwestern
states, they had better revise their cal.
culations.
I'll tell you why the northwest is
Democratic now, and why, in my judy
ment, the president will carry the
northwest this year. There are three
great industries in Montana, for in.
stance-stock raising. which includes
wool production, ranching. which would
be called farming in the East, and
mining. The stockmen are getting a
higher price for their cattle than ever
known before, and for the hides a rec
ord price. Wool is bringing "a cents
a pound, and ! can recall when IA cents
was for great jubilation and oc-
cnsional shooting up Of the town. The
farmers are selling their wheat for 81
a bushel, and have sold most of their
horses at u~nheard-of prices. The mine
owners, Of course, are making ire
mendous profits. and the workers in
the mines are getting $3.50 and IS q
day.
so much for the industries; now as
to the politics. Montana has a COM
plete Democratic state administration:
Wyoming has a Democratic governor:
Idaho has a Democratic governor; Ore
gon has two Democratic senator's;
Washington has a Democratic gov.
ernor; North Dakota will elect a Dem.
ocratic United States senator this fall.
Everything points to Democratic sue.

President Wilson's Handicap.

As in the tariff and currency fields
of legislation, SO in the field of Ia
tional defense President Wilson is the
heir of Republican extravaganza and
Republican tnefficiency. To expect
him to do away at a stroke with the
paralyzing results Of n half century
OF palteriIlg with opportunity, and
wastefulness where there was bitter
need of Thrift is MS unreasonable as
to assert That we can best get out Of
the fix Republican incompetence got
us into by putting them back into
power.
II there was ever a case of 1.-THE
craftsmanship Of h%indsight" 1t is pre-
scented by Republican critics Of the
administration today.

Knights of Pythias Will Be Hosts
to Raggedy Man and
His Friends

The Knights of Pythias have
issued invitations to their many
friends to be their guests at a
real old time "Hard-Time" social
at their hall next Friday even
ing from eight o'clock until all
get ready to go home. No one,
not even the ladies, will be per-
mitted to avail himself of the
usual excuse of having nothing
to wear "as the Knights have
kindly arranged for such a pos
sible condition by asking every
one to come in his or her oldest
and most comfortable clothes. In
fact it has been rumored that a
kangaroo Court will make it very
unpleasant and Improbable for
all those who disregard the re-
quest to come in costume.
There will be the usual good
time which the K. P.'s always
have at their gatherings. Music
for dancing and plenty of vari-
ETY. in the dances so that all
tastes may be suited. Those
who do not care for dancing will
find partners for card games,
and refreshments will be served.
It looks like a chance to all get
together and have one grand
good time. The more poverty
stricken and "hard-up" the guest
is the better and safer time he
will have. The only person who
won't have a perfectly lovely
time is the poor unfortunate who
hasn't any old clothes to wear
And even he will miss something
if he doesn't come and see what
the others of the same class of
unfortunates get.
