But has 1T? 1t depends upon our con-
ception Of democracy. If we are think

despair of democracy when in the small
executive body which has been formed
to rule British effort Is a representa-
tive of labor?
Modern warfare which draws upon
the total resources of a nation has to
have q popular sanction which in old
times it did not need. 1t has to draw
upon all the people, and in so doing
it draws them together.
The belief is plausible that the social
effect of the war in all countries en-
gagged will be a great stimulation Of
democracy, because democracy is work

MONTANA SOLONS
LIVE In SANE CITY
Jeanette Rankin, Conuresswoman,
and J. M. Evans Claim v. 8.
Record.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 27.-In the clos
ing crush of the Montana assembly,
with the battle between the Republic
can senate and Democratic house, the
fact that Gov. Sam ". Stewart has
signed a bill dividing the state into
congressional districts has passed al
most unnoticed.
Both Montana congressman in the
Sixty fifth congress will be from the
same city. Thomas Stout, retiring is
from Lewistown: his conferee is John
M. Evans of Missoula, and March 4,
Miss Jeanette Rankin, also Of
Missoula, joins Mr.. Evans. It is called
the only instance in American history
where all the congressman in the
given state were from the same town.
The congressman and congresswoman
are neighbors.
Two-thirds OF Montana lies to the
west of the Great Divide and the one
third until recently held the balance
OF power. Butte lies on the western
slope Of the Divide and as late as 1908
as went Butte. SO went the state, was
the saying.
The last eight or nine years has wit
messed phenomenal growth in the
eastern and central parts, and it is
agreed that their political power con-
stantly will increase. When Montana
gets third member. the eastern dis
trict can be carved into two, the plan
indicates.
Under the Lane bill. all west of the
east boundary of Flathead, Lewis and
Clark, Broadwater and Gallatin coun-
ties becomes one district.

A PSALM OF LIFE

.. Nv Henry w. LonRfeNoW.
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Life Is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers.
And things are not what tney seem
Life ia real! life is earnest!
And the grave is not it's goalI~
Dust thou are, to dust returnest
Was not spoken Of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Ia our destined end or way;
Put to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.
Art IL long, and Time 10 fieeting,
And our hearts though stout and
Sill, ike muffed drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field Of battle.
In the bivouac OF life.
Re not like dumb, driven cattle
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant;
Let the dead past bury its dead!
And. act in the living present,
Heart within, and GOD o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind US
We can make our lives sublime
And. departing, leave behind Us
Foot prints on the sands of time;
Footprints that perhaps another.
Sailing DER 1ife's solemn main.
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
