THE POWER OF NOTES AND BULLETS.

President Wilson has been criticized for writing effort
adjust international complications instead of breaking of diplomatic
relations and relying upon the power Of bullets settle those dis
ue Anyone who peruse the pages Of history will discover that
President Wilson not the first Of stateen rely
rather than eaden missiles untange grave difficulties with
foreign countries Alexander Hamilton and Rufus King bitterly crt
ced Washington because he France instead Of de-
carng the Genet controversy Horace Greedy thought that
Lincoln should have declared against Great Britain instead Of

the campaign hyfouoy fight and yet settled
the dispute Oregon boundary by writing England Pub
sentiment high pitch by of the dpedaons of the

WHERE THE FARMER COMES IN.

Demogogc politicians their efforts credt the administration
Tor settling the threatened railway strike trying the
farmers of this that they lost great deal because the strike
called off They say eighthou law will advanced
freight portion of which be borne by the farmers
The earnings of the railroads Of the country this year are
OOOO than they the last year of President Tas
administration Ii claimed by the railroads that the adoption an
egthour law will their S6OOO0OOO annually The
brotherhood place the actual increase $2OOOOOOO but for
lie sake OF argument the figures Of the railway heads may be
eped That be subacted from the increased
earnings of this year that of four years ago the rail
roads have left the tidy of $708OOOOOO to the good
might therefore be disputed that the railroads are actually in need
ct increased freight with which wage charge
Assuming, however that be made Everybody
that the railroads OF the country entitled fair v
dend honest capitalization where reasonably efficient manage
men shown 1t the interest of the whole that the
poaon companies shall be kept prosperous condition II any
does come the farmers must of course bear their share
Of the burden.
But we'll reflect also upon what the farmers would have lost
had President Wilson permitted the strike to occur.
The total wheat crop of the country approximately 7000OOOOO
bushels With Generalization of all transportation agencies safe
that the price of wheat would have ped least cents
per bushel The wheat crop that very largely in the
lands of the growers Seventy million dollars would have been lost
10 them right there The crop this year approximately three
thousand million bushels slump of cent per busheI would
have loss there of $30O00000 The live stock market
would certainly have gone the bow the being and
that would have caused the loss of millions the farmers
Other would have been yielded Of fruit and
garden truck ong the fields In short the farmers of this coun-
would have lost thirty days than they will have pay
additional freight providing granted FIVE
years. We believe that the American smart enough under
stand this and will therefore be deceived bv the efforts
o! politicians to prejudice him.

WILSON DEFINES THE ISSUES.

President Wilson made his first political speech Of the campaign at
Shadow Lawn New jersey before crowd Of several thousand young
voters who assembled there last Saturday We 10 all
who really desire to know the Of the present campaign
President Wilson cevery says that the republican party as
constituted today composed Of many cordant elements and that
It moves at ALL It must several different directions Does
think that Senator Penrose and Senator Smoo who will
troll the next senate if that body republican, will have anything in
with Senator La Toilette and Clifford Pncho and James
GARFIELD? If Roosevelt still holds the principles he So vigorously
ohamponed four ago. will he and Senator Ganger and Joe
cannon along the road Indeed person So brave
predict that Colonel Roosevelt who thinks should have de-
olared needs Be- Germany following the Bel
glum and certainly after the sinking Of the Lutana and Charles
lNan Hughes who puyfoomg around for fear Of offending the
German vote in this campaign will very long keep to common
political highway?
lhe president makes the inquiry that every other think
the country has made Justice Hughes began his cam
everything that this administration has done wrong and
we must change entire policy what change
Does Justice Hughes propose select which will lead to
war? That the only possible meaning that may be gathered from
bis cryptic ueances with reference the Mexican situation
Although the supporters of Justice Hughes may attempt be-
cloud the situation the big issue this campaign is DO the
people OF the United States desire overthrow an administration
which has ven for for whose policies very surely
lead to WARP?

full strength of their compact organized forces against Governor
Stewart.
Under ordinary conditions the saloon forces of the should
not be particularly interested that Both Governor Stewart
and Mr. Edwards have announced their Of voting for the
prohibition BILL The difference be that the saloon be-
icve Governor Stewart and do no believe Mr. Edwards.
Of there why the saloon forces should
believe Sam Stewart His personal character and habits ente him
that distinction But the thing bit the other way around
far Mr. Edwards pledge concerned The saloon elected
Edwards mayor of Helena five different times They bothered
any of their activities during his of office. They grew
know him we'll them anae his character and line upon
his official activities and processes of thought Edwards has always
been known foxy politician The saloon probably know
that Edwards compelled by the exgncy of the situation,
declare for prohibition but simply this down promise of the lips
rather than Of the heart They know Frank Edwards all right and
for this will support him, despite his remuneration Of their good
