President Wilson's campaign man.
ayers are certainly having an EN-.
barrassing time explaining his atti.
tude on the equal suffrage question.
His former refusal to sanction ma
tional legislation on the subject is
thus explained: "It has been his
custom to adhere strictly to his party
platform declared that the question
should be left to the states. But Will
son did not "strictly adhere" to his
party declarations on the single term,
on economy, on civil service reform,
on Panama Canal tolls, on presiden-
tial primaries, or numerous other
pledges. He disregarded platform
promises whenever suited his pleas
ure. After thus trying to explain
his former attitude, the Wilson de-
tenders now try to gain the favor of
equal suffragists by intimating that
his "rapidly changing views on the
subject" indicate that he will later
advocate national action. When the
Democratic campaigners begin to men,
ton Wilson's vacillation as a virtue,
they are treading on thin ice that
may let them through to an ignomin-
ious end in the cold waters up Salt
creek.

AN INSULT TO THE FLAG

A spirited newspaper controversy
is raging in Miles City as result of
some remarks made by Congressman
Evans in an address there Friday eve
ming, the result of which is not likely
to add to the vote in that section for
the Missoula man who is a candidate
for reelection.
According to the Miles City Star
the congressman likened the uniform
of the United States army to the hide
of skunk and the man inside the
uniform to the animal that wears the
stripe on its back, comparison that
is expressive of the most supreme con-
tempt. The Journal has come to
the defense of Mr. Evans, contending
that he did not refer to the soldiers
but to the officers, to which the Star

1t is difficult to understand the
mental processes of any man, par
ticularly man occupying such a high
position as representative at Wash
ington, who would make such a re-
mark concerning the military uniform
of this country and the men who wear
it, but it is certain at least that such
a gratuitous slur deserves decisive
rebuke at the hands of all citizens
who place patriotism above partisan
ship.

FARMERS WIFE TO THE RESCUE

"After heavy rains farm on a bad
road is Jail"
This is the consensus of opinion of
the farmers wives on the subject of
good roads as summed up by the Sat-
urday Evening Post, after an Illinois
paper had been asking for their views.
We regard this as valuable addi-
ton to the literature of bad roads.
What the farmer thinks, we all know.
He has figured out that good roads
mean steady market and consequent
prosperity to the farm and per contra
bad roads spell expense and trouble.
He has told all about the business end
of the subject. And yet he has not
been the active aspostle of good roads
that is to be expected. He has fur
nished the argument, and yet after all
it is the city sentiment and the auto
mobile requirement that have been the

LANDMARK GONE

The top of Beartooth mountain, a
landmark used first by the Indians,
then by the trappers and more recent
ly by hunters and miners, toppled and
crashed hundreds of feet down the
steep sides as party of Red Lodge
men watched the awe inspiring spec
tacle from Beartooth lake, a mile dis
tant.
In the early morning the campers
heard peculiar rumbling noise in the
direction of the mountain and looked
out. A moment later the giant peak
swayed dizzily like tree in a mighty
wind, and second later thousands of
tons of rock were hurled down the
mountain side. The horses in the
party stampeded in terror, the crash
being heard for many miles.

PROGRESSIVES IN LINE

If any further demonstration that
the Progressives have returned to the
Republican party were needed it was
furnished by the New York primary
election, in which Governor Whitman
was overwhelmingly nominated and
those Progressives who have been
widely advertised as supporting Presi-
dent Wilson, including Bainbridge Col
by, went down to ignominious defeat.
These Demo- -Progressives had named
Judge Seabury as the Progressive pri-
mary candidate against Governor
Whitman. Out of total Progressive
enrolment of 46,2O6, only $500 Pro-
gressive votes were cast for Judge
Seabury. The Progressives in New
York state had received every possible
aid from the Democratic managers
who fully appreciated the political
value to them of a strong showing
of Progressive disaffection against
Hughes. The only result is that those
Progressives who are off the reser-
walton went down in a smashing de-
feat-Record Herald.

chief good roads agencies So it is
splendid to get the farmers wives in
terested and look at the bad roads
from the social viewpoint. This 1lli-
onis investigation has brought out
some good points. 1t shows that bad
roads make prisoners on the farm of
the women and children. They cannot
go to town, or to school, or to church,
n visit among the neighbors.
Is this why women leave the farms ?
Is not the chief woman objection to
the farm found in the fact that it
makes of her social solitaire, ma
rooms her in an agricultural waste un-
relieved by good roads?
A. woman movement for good roads
would bear fruit, even in Montana.
The farmer may sleep on his opportu-
mites; his business sagacity may not
be sufficiently alert to point out and
e nphasize that good roads mean every
thing to his prosperity. But let his
wife make the plea from the view
point of her social well-being and even
the slow-moving son of the soil will
rouse himself to action.

thence in the corresponding week of

No Gambling Wanted

WHAT is surely needless alarm Is being ten
w BY the afternoon paper over what it sup
poses to be gambling at the Kapioani race track
The immediate cause Of the alarm is that on Tues
day a matched race was nun, the two.owners put
tinp up small amount each to make the purse.
The Star-Bulletin thereupon quotes the following
section of the Revised Statutes and calls upon
the city attorney to do his duty:
y Every person who bets CANDLES. upon any
hofsernse, boStr &c, bailsame, bicycle race any
sos~sr either BY risking money or any other thing
=, Of value lie guilty Of n msdemeanor.

is gambling, so is playing baseball for percent
age of .the gate rowing boat race for silver
medals Does contemporary contend that the
various baseball players of the various leagues
should be hailed into court and fined, or that the
Healanis and the Myrtles should be estopped
from further regattas? If it will just consider a
moment it will be able TO detect the wide Diff
ference between race track betting and competing
for purse, whoever puts the purse up
The Hawaii Polo and Racing Club, under whose
auspices the coming race meet is to be held and
which has the lease upon the race track and
grounds, is firmly opposed to gambling at the
track in any forms just sternly resolved that
nothing illegal shall be done the Star Bulletin
itself For that reason the cub'has had this rule
incorporated by the Racing Committee:
Rule 22-Gamblug OF betting upon the outcome of
any race shall be prohibited at all meets held
under the auspc IS Of this Club, and it shall be the
duty of the Racing Committee to e4pel from the
grounds of Club and from all premises under their
control any pers persons detected in gambling
or making wagers upon any race there being held,
and IL is declare be the duty of said Committee
to detect and pr secute il necessary person SO

All the races on June 10 and IL will be run for
cash purses, but contesting in this way for cash
prize is not gambling as City Attorney Brown

APPAM IS NOT PRIZE

,..
Captured Ship Came Into Port
and Is ubelled r:

notwithstanding Lansing
has made public the text of his note Of
March last to Count Won BernstorR,

latter was informed of the decision of
this government in the case of the Brit

tured at sea by the German commerce
raider Moewe, and sent into Hampton

German lieutenant.

Kept secret longer except for the fact
that it has been introduced in evidence
before Judge Waddfll in the federal
district court at Norfolk, where libel
proceedings are pending. The state
department purpose in withholding
publication of the note until now was
out of courtesy to the court, and since
the court has permitted the note to be
introduced in evidence, the state de-
partment no longer has objection to its
publication.
The note discloses that the state de-
Dartment refuses to accept the cOnten-
ion of the German embassy, that un-

1899 the Appam should be entitled to
asylum in an American port. This Is

generally believed in Washington that
the state department had concluded
20 regard the old treaty as applicable,

20 leave American waters. Secretary

applicable only to prizes brought into
