THE CONVENTIONS OF 1916.

We are standing near the beginning
of a series of political events that
will begin within month or two, and
continue up to the general election
of next November. Now for the first
time Montana voters are beginning
to scrutinize the provisions Of the
presidential primary law, and many
are realizing that Montana, in conf
mon with many other states, is
"stung" with it's primary law.
Political parties are entitled, under
the primary law. to eight delegates
to the national political convention
from Montana, and these delegates
will be chosen at the primary cleo
tion on April 18. Yet, as the law is
interpreted. each voter has the right
to cast his vote for only one dele
gate. The situation may be easily
conceived where two or three men of
outstanding character receive prac-
tically all Of these solitary votes, and
the rest of the Montana delegation
will be made up of mediocre, unknown
men, chosen by scattering handful
of votes.
However, the presidential primary
will elect decisive majority of the
delegates to the republican national
convention, to be held in Chicago on
June Z. The majority of the democra-
tic delegates will still be selected by
the old convention system. So re-
gardless of the imperfections of the
primary laws in practically all of the

Of moisture, compared with the aver
age of series of years, but these ex-
ceptional conditions are not accepted
as proof of permanent change in the
climate.
According to geological experts
however, a gradual change is in pro-
gress from year to year, but it is too
small to be appreciated. Fossil re-
mains that have been discovered in
some. parts of Montana have been
identified as those of mammoth rep
tiles and animals that could exist only
in tropical regions, and it is concluded
from this circumstantial evidence that
at some remote period-thousands of
years ago-palm leaf fans would have
been in demand at this time of the
year in localities where full coal bin
is at present the most important part
of household equipment.

Will he ever guess Of the tears they
caused or the heart aches which
they cost?
Will he gaze through the failures and
fruitless toll to the underlying

And catch a glimpse of the real intent
and the heart of the vanquished

l dare to hope he may pause some day
as he tolls as I have wrought,
And gain some strength for his weary

have fought,
But I've only the task itself to leave
with the cares for him to face.
And never cheering word may speak

And my prayer today is that all the
dreams may be realized by you.
And we'll meet some day in the great
unknown-out in the realm of
space.
You'll know my clasp as take your
hand and gaze in your tired face.
Then all our failures will be success
in the light of the new-found
dawn
So I'm drinking your health, old chap,
who'll take my place when 1 am

MONTANA OATS.

At the recent meeting of the farm.
ers at Lewistown, it was disclosed
that the daily market reports from
Minneapolis and Chicago carried nc
quotations on number one oats. Com.
menting editorially on this situation
the Daily Missoulian states that it is
a we'll known fact that Montana
grown oats grade higher in the east
ern markets than do eastern grown
osts, the Montana product averaging
about 40 pounds to the bushel, as
against % pounds for the eastern
grain.
At the same time, all quotations
emanating from Minneapolis and
Chicago begin with number three
grade and the Montana market is
based on that price. At their meeting
the farmers asked that the Montana
daily newspapers request of their
news agencies quotations on the num-
Der one grade.
In common with other daily news
papers in this state, The Missoulian
queried the Associated Press to know
why quotations were not given in the
daily reports on grades one and two
at Minneapolis and Chicago.
The reply has been made that, "Chi-
cago has advised this office that quo
tations on number one oats were not
obtainable at either Minneapolis or
Chicago.
There must be something wrong
somewhere. The Montana oat grower
is entitled to sell his number one"
grain at the number one price and
not at the price fixed for the "num-
Der three" oats. The farmers organ
ization should send some man to Min
neapolis and get at the facts. The
Associated Press is helpless to give
quotations when they are withheld by
the management of the grain ex-
changes in the two cities.

HIGH AND LOW.

Wherever and whenever living is
cheap, labor is cheap. In Oriental
countries, like China and India, liv-
ing is cheapest and wages are the
lowest No American workingman
would live as Chinaman lives. On
a Chinaman's wages he could not buy
one days meals, says Leslie's Weekly.
Living is cheapest and wages are
lowest whenever we have hard times.
The harder the times the greater the
urgency to sell and the less the abil-
ity of the purchaser to buy. Presi-
dent Harrison never made a truer re-
mark than when he said, "The cheap
coat marks the cheap man."
When the cost of living rises, wages
rise automatically to meet it, for the
workingman must earn enough to
make living or else become a public
charge. The bread line, bundle day.
the souphouse and the almshouse all
follow when wages are lowest and
when everybody is selling at bargain
prices with buyers few.
The thoughtless who were misled
by demagogues, after the Mckinley
era of prosperity, to assail big busi-
ness, on the ground that it increased
the cost of living, now realize their
error. While business, big and little,
suffered, the cost of living was ma;n-
tanned and it will be as long as wages
are maintained. When one drops the
other goes with it.
The shippers who joined in the
mad outcry against the railroads and
demanded lower freight rates, now
find the railroads congested with traf.
fic, and shippers are willing to paw
any rates for prompt deliveries. They

were regulated to death they could
not provide the necessary funds for
improvements and extensions re.

is OUR CLIMATE CHANGING?

10 OON CL1MA T. OdANGlNG!
1t is the belief of many residents Of
Montana that climatic conditions in
this part of the country are undergo
ing gradual change, says the River
Press. In the matter of precipitation,
especially, they express the opinion
that the arid conditions of many years
ago are less pronounced, and that a
more plentiful supply of moisture is
being encouraged by large increase
in the area of land that is brought
under cultivation.
1t will require many years. expert
ence to demonstrate the value of this
theory, and it is hoped it will prove
correct, but it is not supported by the
official records of the United States
weather bureau. The idea that eli
matte conditions are changing should
not be based upon the mean tempera-
ture or the precipitation of any brief
period, which may develop wide de-
partures from normal. Comparison
between five-year or ten-year periods
of different dates is more likely to as
sist in arriving at correct conclusions.
The weather bureau records of the
Helena station show that in ten wears
the average of extreme temperatures
during that period was ia degrees,
the record showing slight variations
below and above that figure. At the
Havre station, the average during the
same period was 131 degrees. In each
case there were exceptionally hot
spells and cold snaps during the ten
year period. but there did not appear
to be any radical departure from the
records of other ten-year periods.
The reports of the weather bureau
station at Havre date back to 1886,
and during the five-year period i'm
mediately following that date the av-
erage annual precipitation in that
part of Montana was 1878 inches.
In the five-year period ending with
1900 the average annual precipitation
was l4.24 inches, but during the next
five years the annual average dropped
to 1877 inches.
Officials of the government weathe,
bureau who have searched the records
of stations that have been in existence
nearly half century declare there
has been no appreciable change in eli.
matte conditions in any part of the
United States. There are occasional
years or periods when the tempera-
ture may 60 to extremes and when
there may be an excess or deficiency

If you like him or you love him, tell

Don't withhold your appreciation till

As he lies with snowy lilies DER his

For no matter how you shout it, he
won't really care about it;
He won't know how many tear drops
you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him,
now's the time to slip it to him,
For he can not read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than money
is the comment kind and sunny:
And the hearty, warm approval of a

For it gives to life a SAVIOR, and it

And it gives you heart and spirit in

be said.
Do not wait till life is over and he's

For he can not read his tombstone

states. primary-elected delegates will
rule the Chicago convention.
There are 985 voting delegates en-
titled to seats in the Chicago conven-
ton. OF these a total of 597 from
21 states of the union will select their
delegates at primary elections. It
would appear from this that the day
of machine domination of the repub-
lican convention is past.
It is essential that each state send
to the republican convention dele
cation headed by strong, clear-headed
men. Montana has some men of this
type, who, if placed in the Chicago
convention, could make themselves
heard, though coming from state
with insignificant representation. The
republican candidate will be chosen,
not before, but on the floor of the
Chicago convention. He will be the
product of the convention, and the
choice is in the hands of the gods.
It is interesting to note the states
which will select delegates to the
national conventions at primaries, and
the dates of such elections. They start
early in March, and continue right
up to the day before the Chicago con-
vention on June 7. The list of pri-
mary states and the dates of their
elections are:
