UNUSUAL CONDITION WILL
SOON DISAPPEAR

While the conditions existing in
Montana for the past three or foul
months have been both unusual and
extraordinary in character, they are
only in keeping with presidents that
have been observed in every section
of the United States, and no one
should feel even the semblance of
permanent encouragement. No state
in the union has been immune from
visitations of this character, and as
matter of fact, Montana has never
suffered anything in comparison with
the states of Kansas, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, Washington, Okla
homa, Texas, and other common
wealths, 1t seems that at intervals
all countries suffer from unexplaina
Bile climatic phenomena, and it is al
together possible, as some students of
the situation contend, that the Euro
pean war has been a materially con-
tributing factor in producing the re-
Let the true explanation of the sit
uation be what it may, there is no
one really conversant with the won
derful resources of Montana that can
see any reason whatever for display
of pessimism as to the future. The
wonderful and productive fertility of
our soil has been thoroughly demon
strated and established, our state has
excelled all other areas in the volume
of creals that may be grown upon an
acre of ground, and nosone can sue
cessfulIy controvert the assertion that
no territory in the union offers such
amnifold advantages for the profit /
able propagation of the live stock in
dustry. But eevn in the tabled days
when Egypt was reputed to be an
agricultural paradise, the people of |
old found themselves visited by oc-
casional lean years, and it would be |
nothing short of the miraculous |

IS DEEPLY TOUCHED

Members of the Emmanuel Bapflst
church formed a most formidable
raiding party last night and literally
stormed their new pastor, the Rev. Nj.
Bledsoe. at his home, 1149 East Port
land street. The sudden friendly at
tack took the form of surprise party
and welcome reception in which the
evening was passed, an enjoyable tire
being universally recorded.
One of the best parts of the occa-
sion came with the presentation to MT.
Bledsoe of a handsome gold chain and
charm by w. B. Edwards, on behalf
of the membership, with a few words
| of APPRECIATION for Mr.. Bledsoe's serV-
ices for. several months as supply pas
| tor of the church. The new pastor
| in reply, said he was deeply touched
and grateful, and trusted he Wo1lo

by his friends.

have been bad thing for Mexico If the revolution
should be successful.
An independent government in the southwest
would not likely long remain on peaceful terms with
Mexico and it would not be forbearing the
United States has been. Such government as Car
rama conspiring to set would naturally in
cude the state of Texas. Texas in the govern
might be expected to entertain about the same
feeling for Mexico that it has always felt since the
Alamo, and there is pretty general belief that if
United States should unleash Texas it would
quickly effect a cleanup of Mexico Texas is about

MODERN PALLAS ATHENE


1t is hard for grownup nation to get new
point of view 1t is harder still enlarge it's sphere
of benevolent influence. Grownups want to go the
way they have always gone and other. That is
why America is Withholding aid from Europe.
In the mythology of ancient Greece, Pallas
Athene goddess of wisdom was born fully grown
from the head of Zeus. Not since then has there
been an adult birth in human society until Europe
invited America to become world power.
Pallas Athene, though personifyng all wisdom,
probably hesitated little and rubbed her eyes be-
fore she became accustomed to her sudden environ
ment. That is what America is doing Europe
needs Americas wisdom the Greeks needed the
wisdom of Paas Athene. While America, like the
Greek goddess, has had no infancy of preparation
for a world career.
International relations the breath of life
to Europe The Europeans have never known any
thing else Europe therefore cannot understand
why America holds back. Europe vaguely attributes
it to sefishness complacent satisfaction or
even fear.
1t is of these. America, rather, is bewil-
dered at the strange responsibilities thrust toward
her They all They supported by no
traditions formed during Americas youth. They
even antagonize of the traditions of days
of undergraduate isolation
America, therefore, hestates a little and the
Statue of Liberty rubs her startled eyes, 1t is nc
more than that. America eventually will go to Eu-
ropes assistance. Only realization of Europes
growing distress is needed.
Europes wants. however can be but half sup
piled by material help Fully much Europe need.
Americas sympathetic understanding of her plight
Even the bravest warriors crave sympathy in thei

How to Stimulate Coal Production

A reporter for a Kansas newspaper who served
France whence he has lately returned has Offered
Governor Allen who is directing the coal mining in
dustry in Kansas the benefit of his observations
while engaged in the world The governor is
working amateur coal mining force consisting
of bank cashiers and clerks merchants farmers and
citizens generally.
The reporter states that while he was at the
front he noticed that the soldiers when under fire
performed prodigies in the way of digging in" He
therefore suggests that if the will station
artillery companies in the vicinity of the mines he
is working and have barrages laid down on the anna
teur miners they will go quickly down to depths in
the coal seams that the union miners never thought
Of and there will be such production of coal in
Kansas as never heard of.
The governor has not yet signified whether he
believes the suggestion is worth acting upon.

If Mayor Thompson has any real desire that Chi

The republicans long ago formed the habit of meet
ing there and generally the atmosphere has peeh
conducive to the exercise of wisdom
We also learn from the dispatches that the COM
1nittee will give some consideration to candidates at
this meeting This is a subject that may be given
too close committee consideration; or, rather,
matter in which the committee may so deeply con-
Germ itself as to excite dissenson within the party.
The committee should remember what came of too
much committee interest and activity in 1872 when
there was committee disregard of party sentiment.
The committee may properly feel that a strong
candidate should be nominated; one who can be
elected But it should know result of the ex
perience of seven years ago that something more
than committee preference must be behind the can

There is one representative function resting upon
the committee that of sorting party issues. But
even that must discharged with reference to the
sentiment of the members of the party far that

is difficult so that the committee must outline Ger

Three cheers for Groton! 1t was

it was all so lovely that l felt fairly
homesick to be back in it. The Japan

were turning the most beautiful shades
of scarlet imaginable. The old barn. |
am sorry to say, seems to be giving

Renown now behaves very well about
automobiles, and indeed about every
thing. He is, however, a little touched
in the wind. Bleistein, in spite of be-
ing little shaky in one foreleg is in
splendid spirits and eager for any
amount of go. When you get on here
for the Christmas holidays you will
have to try them both, for if there is
any fox hunting l am by no means sure
you will find it better to take Bleistein
than Renown.
