LOOK OUT. SISTER!

Sister Alice Robertson, represen- tatiye in the Congress from an Okla horna district will not gain either po- pularity or prestige in the sorority of suffrage through her intimatlon that there is not a woman III the country capable of being one of the American representatives at the con ference on disarmament and lar east ern questions. We see far more tfou- bles ahead for Sister Alice than she ever encountered as the mis- tress of all Oklahoma eating house ill ministering to frontier tastes. Having achieved high place in the nations affairs, she should have ability to care for herself in any sorority squabble, and if we mistake not, she will have need for all her capabilities.
 It was bad enough that Sister Al ice should have said, Show me a woman in the United States who is qualified and l might urge her appointment" It was even worse when she proceeded to particularize that woman to be capacltated would have to be an international lawyer, versed in diplomatic prac- tice, familiar with foreign languages and conditions and have an assured social standing the last especially being almost beyond hearing. But Sister Alice must have become ana thema when she declared that a com potent woman representative must possess the faculty of listening a great deal and saying little.
 We are certain that the suffrage sisterhood can find in these words matter sufficient for an interminable world war Sister Alice will have many to attack, but who is to de fend? We cannot imagine anyone as seeking the job, and for this reason we warn her to beware - Commercial Appeal.

EDGAR s. PAXSON, THE SCOUT
 WHO WAS A PAINTER

Col. Edgar $. PaxSon was scout who became painter. He worked fo" 20 years on one painting before it was completed, and when the old scouts masterpiece was done, it was declared to De the most accurate pic. ture of Clusters last battle ever painted It made PaxsOn famous.
 Paxson was New Yorker who went to Montana in the early seven ties. He became cowpuncher, q hunter and trapper. When Chief Jo- seph led his Neg Perce warriors on their 1.000-mile dash for freedom in 1877, Paxson enlisted as scout wlth the United States troops and served with them until Chief Joseph was cor nered in the Bear Paw mountains and surrendered to General Miles.
 After the Neg perce war was over, PaxSon returned to Deer Lodge, Mont, and opened q studio. He had always wanted to paint pictures and he took for his subjects the Ihings he knew best -- cowboys, Indians. hunters and trappers. Then he con ceived the idea sf a painting of the greatest Indian battle in American history-Custer's last fight with the Sioux and Cheyennes on the Little Big Horn.
 For years Pa&son gathered infor- nation about the battle. He went over the battlefield again and again until he was familiar with every foot of it he talked with Indians who had fought against Custer, and he sought officers and men who had served with Reno and Benteen to get their stories 0t the fight. He learned everything he could of the position of every man in the Seventh cavalry on that fateful day in June 1876.
 paxSOn was engaged seven years in the actual painting of the picture His work was interrupted during this time by his service in Cuba during the Spansh-American war and in rhe Philippines. After the war was over he returned 10 his work and the pie ture was completed.
 In this painting paxson showed the uSuIcS Ol IlOit llitib --OO SotNiiCIc1 iit dians and scouts. IL contained the portraits of 36 members of Custer g command painted from photographs Every detail of the battle was shown historically accurate, so far as it Is possible to know how Custer and bis men perlshed. The painting has been On exhibition in the largest cities Of the United Suites and it now hangs in the library of the Montana State university at SEissoula. It is valued at S25, 900.
 In 1878 PaxsOn laid down the SCOUTS rife to take up the painters brush. Forty-one years later he laid down the brush. Colonel Paxson died in Missoula, November 9, 1919.
