NO MORE INEFFICIENCY

Washington, D. c., October 25.-"In
appealing to the people to return the
Republican party to power we have
confidence that the record of incom-
potency of the present administration
will make impossible it's continuance"
declared Representative Thomas S.
Crago, of Pennsylvania, in statement
given out here today by the National
Republican Congressional Committee
zone year and five months of Demo-
cratic rule found the country with in
dustries paralyzed, the Treasury al
most bankrupt, our rights over the
Panama Canal surrendered, wages re-
duced, the cost of living increased and
our Army landed on Mexican soil with
out excuse of justification" continued
Representative Crago, who is Past
Commander-in- Chief Of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars.
"Then the war with Europe. The
so-called war tax appears, industry
revives because of war orders, high
sounding diplomatic notes are writ
ten, the cry goes up The President has
kept us out of war, when in fact ev-
cry move he made weakened US in
the estimation of other nations, for
we committed acts of war against a
weaker nation, Mexico, and begged a
servile truce with nations we knew
were strong.
"The weakness of our foreign poll
cies, the record of broken pledges, the
useless expenditure of millions and the
hypocrisy of Democratic legislation is
so broad that the patience Of the Am
erican people has been severely test
ed. The Wilson administration went
into power proclaiming 'pitiless pub
licity' and it will leave branded as
a gum shoes, secret Cabinet regime
"The public recalls the fiasco of
Vera Cruz and President Wilson's un-
pardonable act in lifting the embargo
on arms that our soldiers should meet
death from guns furnished to assass-
ins by permission of our own govern
ment. In this so called peace more
lives have been lost and more money
spent than we sacrificed in the war
with Spain. If we are at peace
should more than a hundred thousand
of our boys be paying the price OF
war, taken from war by any magic OF
the President, then how does it hap
pen that Spain, Norway, Sweden

THWARTING THE WILL
OF THE PEOPI F.

/ 4
OF THE PEOPLE
For the past several years popular
sentiment in Montana has bee nstrong-
ly in favor of a just end reasonable
farm loan mortgage law, and earnest
and persistent efforts have been made
to have such measure enacted and
put in force. But all these attempts
have failed. The people have been
thwarted and numerous obstacles have
arisen up to choke and defeat popular
effort.
Such law is just, reasonable and
beneficient. 1t would provide money
at reasonable interest rates to the
hard pressed farmers. 1t would pro-
vide increased revenue to the state
trust funds. There are millions of
state trust funds lying idle in the
state treasury, or distributed to the
banks of the state, drawing a meager
interes tof 2 per cent or 2h per
cent, when all such funds could be
readily loaned at per cent.
Why is this condition of affairs?
1t is wasteful to the state and
causes the farmers to be pinched and
burdened with ruinous usury.
For several years it was attempted
to get such beneficiary legislation thru
Democratic legislatures and past
Democratic Governors, but in vain.
Then the people themselves initiated
and passed a farm loan law. The
Democratic Governor fatty refused to
put the law in force. Then an act
was passed by the legislature of two
years ago, to silence the clamor Of
the people. Applications for loans
were made under this enactment.
Then many obstacles were placed in
the way of placing such loans. A
: Democratic State Treasurer showed
active opposition. A Democratic At
torney General barred the way and
the Governor seemed, if not opposed,
at least Indifferent and secretly hos
tile.
Both Governor and Attorney Gen
eral have declared these farm loan
laws unconstitutional and refused their
aid. They took no steps to test either
law and have it's validity passed up
on by the only tribunal provided by
the constitution to decide constitution
! al problems. Not they. Their evil
Gent enmity to all farm loan measures
has become notorious.
And now the people will have the
opportunity to pass upon the conduct
of Governor Stewart and Attorney
General Pondexter in thus thwart.
ing their will. Nearly every other
state in the union provides means to
loan its idle funds to land owners at
reasonable interest. In Montana
alone has this beneficiary Legislation
been thwarted and defeated by guess
es at the law by Democratic Cover
nor and damned by half-baked opin
ions Of a Democratic Attorney Gen
eral.
The time is now ripe for calling
them to account. Let the farmers OF
Montana and all those who believe il
such law remember their enemies.

HERE is WHAT HURTS

The Stewart administration has de-
:eated itself All that is required of
the Republicans to win sweeping
victory is to set the facts before the
people. The record of Democracy
in the past four years is one tina. is
indefensible.
First comes extravaganza and
waste of public funds. This is shown
by the number Of new offices created
and which give but little or no SER
vce-numerous enough according to
hig hDemocratic authority. ITO fill
to overflowing forty vacant rooms at
the Capitol" Then there is the horde
of deputy game wardens, deputy seal
ers and weighers, deputy examiners
ard, Lord knows whom else While
tie state educational institutions are
ovcrcrowded and lack the necessary
! facilities and funds, the business of
! increasing the number of political
nacks, as part and parcel of the Tam
many machine, goes bravely on. Mil
lions FOR political spoils, but not one
cent of increase for necessary re-
quirements of the consolidated uni
versity. The Governor and the board
prove waste of funds on political
of examiners veto necessary expenses
for education, but never fail to ap-
spoilsmen.
Second, is the failure of this admin
istration to add to the income Of state
trust funls and decrease taxes by loan
ing said idle funds to farmers and
ranchers o. first mortgage security.
the highest form of security. The
present administration has been in
tensely hostile to such wise and safe
investment of trust funds. Why?
1t is Up 70 them to explain and de-
fend their vicious conduct in this be-
half Why do Stewart and his CO.
officials ct state fight so strenuously
the increase of income to trust funds
of state institutions, and wy are they
so vindictively hostile to farmers and
ranchers obtaining money at reason
able and just interest rates by bor-
rowing these idle funds? This con-
dHct alone is sufficient to defeat the
entire Democratic ticket.
Third, is the gross misconduct oe
Democratic state officials They have
commercialized the state Offices. They
have made merchandise Of them They
have used hem as coign of advan-
tage for their own private gain.
There is the public tonding and
surety monopoly for private gain. The
petty and contemplate auto tin tag
graft, yet amounting to an aggregate
of several thousand dollars a year.
There is the malordous and disreput-
able Northwestern Trustee Con- pany,
Of which i has been punishly SAID
by the grand jury and the Judge of
the Federal Court, that men in "high
official station, as a "prevalent prac
t;ce". "sold the use of their names
for shares of stock" Finally the
er failure Of tn administration to
correct and pua,,: these abuses and
trf". ce the law
This is the record the Stewart ad-
ministration is trying to hide and es
cape from. It constitutes damning
record of condemnatory facts. There
is more of it, but this enough with
no additions.
No wonder they wish to muddle and
obscure the issues. 1t is certainly
a record Of disgrace and shame. The
:. Republicans need not misrepresent, ex-
aggerate or denounce. A plain re-
cital of the record sufices.

CUNNING NEST BUILDERS.
Hummins Birds Homes Are Not Hid
den, Yet They Defy Detection.

Humming Birds Homes Are Not Hid
den, Yet They Defy Detection.
Even in those parts of tropical Amer
lea where, as in Colombia, humming
birds are vastly numerous, 1t is almost
impossible for the most experienced
naturalist to find their nests, in this,
although as rule they are not hidden
at all, the feathered builders relying
for cOncealment upon the likeness of
their tiny houses to the surroundings
amid which they are placed. A hum
mer's nest always corresponds exactly
in color with the branch to which it Is
attached. 1t may initiate a knot or
other excrescence. Thus the Calliope
humming bird of the western United
States often builds on dead pine
twig, either upon or near a cone Of
similar size and hue.
Usually the nests of humming birds
are cup shaped or turban shaped, and
their material is always plant down.
Such down, resembling cotton wool.
but Of more delicate fiber. is gathered
from the stems of ferns and other
plants. This Is woven together with
spiders webs into compact mass.
Usually they ornament the outside of
the nest with small feathers or lichens
which they obtain by detaching them
from the rocks where these humble
plants grow. These they fasten with
cobwebs all over the exterior Of their
tiny house.
When these wee architects suspend
their nets from leaves or tendriks they
are always weighted for stability in
order that they may not be upset by
every passing breeze. For this pur-
pose the bottom is made very thick.
But the most remarkable expedient is
that adopted by the hill stars, which
dwell far up near the snow line of the
Andes. They weight the tiny suspend
ed house on the lighter side with a
pebble to give the proper balance.
There is no question whatever that
this is done, and many of the nests Of
such species preserved In collections
are found TO contain pebbles.-Rose l.

to the volley Of the bandits the Amer
leans retired owing to the overwhelm-
ing numbers OF the enemy.
Another party of bandits attacked
a small party of alleged Carranzistas
at Rancho San Luis. few miles south
Of the American camp at San Geroni-
mo. Two Carranzistas were killed
and the Others disappeared. Detach-
ments of the Americans were sent In
