MERELY HITS THE SALOONS

The United States senate has by
majority of 23 voted in favor of eX-
cludng the saloon from the national
Capital. The House is reported to be
strongly in favor of the measure, and
it's enactment into law may be only
a matter of short time.
The bill as passed is not a prohi-
bition measure, because it specifically
provides that importations of liquor
for personal use shall be permitted
Thus do the national lawmakers
arrange neat plan whereby the:'
may be said, in political parlance, to
be carrying water on both shoulders.
However that may be, the enactment
of the bill in it's present form would
clearly characterize the adherents as
being of a class that desired to have
the right hand know what the lef.
hand did.
The action taken is none the less
important because it fails to either
stand for prohibition or local option
And the attitude of the lower branctl II
of congress. in the light of the de
cision of the upper body. will be
watched with general interest.--Syra-

ty and Scott of Big Horn county. have

WoMEN's CLUB ENTERTAlNs

Misses Teagarden and Myers pleas
antly entertained the Roman Women's
club last Tuesdayev ening in the Do
nestle Science department. Each
member responded to roll call with
some fact about Richard Wagner.
Mrs. A. X. Resner gave very fine
paper on "The Present Situation in
Germany" Only one deeply inter-
ested and thoroughly acquainted with
German life and affairs could give a
paper so instructive and valuable as
that given by Mrs. Resner.
Mrs. I. M. Brandjord gave paper
on "The Ring of the Nibelung," ex-
planning the four music dramas that
make up this cycle, namely: "The
Rhinegold," "Walkiire," "Sicgfried'
and "Gotterdammerung." Famous art
pictures illustrating some of the
principal characters in these dramas
were shown.
DR.. Becker delivered a profoundly
learned and highly instructive lee
ture on Wagner, his life and his mu-
sic dramas. The subject of his lee
ture was made vividly real and live
to his hearers by the playing on
the Victrola of number of the fa-
nous selections of Wagner. He
showed how Wagner's operas were
different from ordinary operas by
playing overtures from Rossini and
Meyerbeer. He played and explained
selections from "Triston and Isolde"
die Meistersinger," "Parsifal,"
"RienZi," "The Valkyrie's Ride"
"Siegfried's Funeral March, and
others from Wagner.

Count Won Bernstorff, his wife, who
is an American woman, together with
the secretaries and official servants
of the embassy will leave the capital
next Sunday night in a car specially
provided through the courtesy of the
state department and adequately
guarded to prevent any offense to the
former ambassador and his suite. On
their arrival in New York the party
will go direct to the steamer.
Safe conducts have been requested
by the state department of both Great
Britain and France for passage
through the allied blockade and no
doubt is felt that they will be ac-
corded.

GERMAN COMMENT is
CALM AND MODERATE

Berlin, Feb. 5..-Via London.-The
morning newspapers treat the breach
in diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany as mat
ter of great gravity, but all editorials
are pitched in calm and moderate
tone. The avoidance Of insulting lam
guage and cutting cpitnets is espec-
tally noticeable.
Most of the newspapers say the
news created no surprise, some say
ing this step was expected in view of
April, and others that it was antic1-
pated in view of the presidents "con-
tinual siding with the entente"
All the newspapers strongly reject
the imputation that Germany has
broken her promise made in her note
of May 4, laying stress upon the fact
that Germany's promise was express
ly conditional on President Wilson'S
success in bringing England to all
observance of the law of nations.
They generally assert that President
Wilson persists in ignoring Ger
many's justification for her submar-
inc policy.
A number of papers adopt regret
full tone over the wreck of the old
friendship between the two countries,
which they say Germany risked only
because her life interests were at
stake. 1t is generally assumed by the
newspapers that the United States
will make an early declaration of
war against Germany, for they say
the submarine campaign can hardly
be prosecuted without the loss of
some American lives. The opinion is
evinced in some quarters that the
submarines will decide the war be-
fore the United States can take an
active hand.

BECOMES A LAW
OVER THE VETO

Washington, Feb. 5.-Congress has
over-ridden a veto by President Will
son for the first time and enacted
into law the immigration bill, with
it's long-fought litefacy test provision.
The senate voted late today, 62 to 10.
to pass the measure, notwithstanding
the veto and in spite of eleventh hour
information that Japan again had pro-
tested against the language of the
Asiatic exclusion section.
The house overturned the veto last
week by vote of 2S7 to LOG, So the
senate's action ends the contest of 20
years standing in which three presi-
dents have repudiated similar bill
passed by congress.
The international situation was
brought into the closing debate in the
senate, Senator Reed raising the Jap
anese objection and pleading that
nothing be done at this time to dis
turb or impair the country's relations
with a friendly nation. Senator
Smith Of South Carolina, chairman of
the immigration committee, answered
with the declaration that the present
state of international affairs empha-
sized the necessity for pure, homo
genous American people, such as the
bill was intended to protect.
Senator Myers of Montana voted
for the measure, while Senator
Walsh stood with the president.

mot, were able to get the frauds
across without forming a conspiracy
to use the United States mail for
that purpose.
There must have been some doubt
that these eX-attorney generals had
fully qualified, because now an infor-
nation has been filed in the federal
duct, as attorneys for Rae and others
in that case, and that on January 23,
while the case was on trial, Galen
visited and conversed with one Of
the trial jurors, w. B. Warner, in the
bar room of the Placer, and bought
him some drinks, and that Kelly on
January "a visited and conversed with
Charles E. Brown, another of the
trial Jurors, and bought him some
drinks, and that it was all done with
the intent of influencing those two
jurors. What else was said or done
does not appear-yet.
Both the eX-attorney generals are
further charged in the information
with having promised to introduce
the Juror Warner to some of the
members of the legislature with a
view of getting some help towards
the passage of a bill now pending.
when this course i'm prepared
ness is completed, these ex-officers
of the state, will have also qualified
for appointments along with Poindex-
ter, although it is to be hoped that
Governor Stewart will permit some-
one else to make the appointments
who will designate positions as far
removed from Montana as possible.
Of the coterie of state officers, WIZ
aside from these, defeated the eX~
press will of the people as declared
the three farm loan laws, the most
prominent, as yet unrewarded are A
M. Anderson, eX-secretary of state:
H. A. Davee, eX-superintendent OF
public instruction, and H. G. Cullom,
commissioner of farm loans. Gov
ernor Stewart should be included,
only that he was duly rewarded at
the polls last November.
