things come to those who wait.
Throughout the winter our
high way was free from car trav-

that spring has come and the
rough places are made smooth.
the Prospect Hill route is a real
play ground for the automobiles.
These buzzing. whizzing vehicles
take the stagnation out of life.
William Wolf and son Don have

California and Lewis of Mary
land are former members of Con-
gress, Their records have en-
deared them to the people Lewis

dent who quit the Republican

that it was controlled by the re-

eulogize Costigan in the presence

there is a citizen of our states

EIGH HOUR LAW UPHELD.
During the campaign last fall
our Republican opponents were
very bitter in their criticisms of
the Adamson eight-hour law for
railroad men. Some SAID Con- 4
gress had been "held up" by the
railroad brotherhoods and COM
PEELED to stand and deliver" and
others declared Congress had
"buncoeH' the brotherhoods by
giving them law which was
clearly unconstitutional. ("
Last week, the Supreme Cour
held the law constitutional and
affirmed the power of Congress
to limit the hours of labor of men
engaged in interstate commerce
and, under certain conditions, to
determine the compensation to be
paid. y
So, they claim that Wilson and
the Democrats handed the
'brotherhoods a lemon" in order
to get their votes was not we'll
founded. We acted in good faith
and passed a just law in order to
avert national calamity in the
shape of a general railroad Strike
It is gratifying to find the high
est court in the land sustaining
us at every point.
The efforts of the railroads to
evade the provisions OF the Adam
son law and to deprive their men
of the benefits to which Con-
gress and the president hal said
they were entitled. came very
near predipitatings strike few
days before the court rendecela
decision. President Wilson, how
ever, acted with his usual pr ompt
ness and good sense and a serious
situation was happily adjusted.
l have felt all through the fight
between the railroads and their
men that the roads were tbluf-
fing" in order to lay the found,
alton for a general increase in
freight rates. It would require
a good deal of nerve" to suggest
such a thing. in view Of the fact
that tie roads. net profits last
year were about one billion dol
but. nevertheless, will be sur
prised if the attempt is not
made.

Washington Letter
BY Edward Heating

District.
Next Monday, April End. Con-
gress will convene in extra ses-
sion, and. unless something unfor
seen happens, will adopt reso-
luton declaring that a state of
war exists between this country
and Germany.
Powerful interests are already
at work to induce this govern
ment to send a great army to
Europe to fight in the trenches
beside the French and English.
Colonel Roosevelt is the leader of
this movement and the big east
ern dailies. which voice the senti-
ment so the financial houses of
Wall Street, are endeavoring to
mold public opinion along the
same lines.
Lets send an expeditionary
force right away and one million
men later on, is the way one en-
thusiastic militarist puts it.
The men who are advocating
this scheme know that the youth
of America will never volunteer
i. large numbers for service in
Europe. SO they are clamo ing
for the passage of universal SER
vice bill. They have much to say
about how universal service is the
Democratic way of raising an
army, but their real object is to
force American boys to go 10 the
assistance of the Entente forces
somewhere in France. i"
I cannot believe the fathers
and mothers of America want
their sons sent into the branches
of Europe. They are prepared
to make any sacrifice ia order to
insure safety Of their country
and the perputation of the insti-
tutions founded by the Fathers
of the Republic. but they are op-
posed to entangling alliances
with the kings and Emperoro of
the Old World.
If we want to go to war. let's
make it our war, and let's fight
it cut in the good, old American
way. without the aid or consent
of any other nation on Earth"
THE TARIFF OUT OF
POLITICS.
President Wilson has named
the members of the new tariff
commission, and Colorado finds
the pame of one of. her most dis
tinguished sons. E. P. Costigan,
of Denver. on the list.
The Presidents selections will
not please the prepatory interests
but they should cause rejoic-
ing among the plain citizens of
this country.
In the good old days Republican
politicians permitted those who
benefited from the tariff to write
the schedules of the tariff law.
Naturally. they piled on all 'the
traffic would bear" and they
eventually became so greedy that
the peopie-the consumers re-
volted. The Democratic party
went into power pledged to re-
write the tariff in the interests of
all classes of society, and that
is one pledge we have executed
in. good faith. N -.
1t is hoped that the new COM
mission will assist in taking the
tariff out of politics. We must
raise a certain amount of our
revenues at the custom house but
the problem Of doing this without
unnecessarily burdening the pso.
pie OF disturbing business is o
very delicate one.
I do not see low the President
could have improved on person.

WANTS EXPLANATION
De Hart Says Sloughs This
Season Have More Water
Than Last Year.

Helena. Aug. 30.-t;ame Warden j..
/. DE Hart is looking for the man
who can give an explanation scientific
or otherwise, Of why, when this has
been one Of the dryest seasons ever
experienced in Montana, water holes,
slonghs and ponds that have been dry
for the past four or five years should
be trimming over this year.
This condition obtains in all parts
OF the state said Mr. De Hart. and
of an explanation for it. Reports are
received daily that native ducks have
been Matched at these replenished
lakes and ponds where in past years
n duck was not to be found for miles.
incidentally the deputies report that
both ducks ana birds ire more p!enti
ful than in several years.
Reports from the north country
that cattle have had to be shipped
early because of the extreme dryness
of the range are misleading. The cat
lie have not been shipped because wa
ter holes have dried up but because
these same water holes have been
fenced and stock has been denied &C
cess to them There is still plenty OF
good range in the north country, but
in many instances growers have not
been able to utilize 1t because a stock
man or a settler scripped or filed upon
the water holes and thus secured con
troll OF the range for Themselves
