age of Burt Wheeler to
Washington to join LaFol-
lette's band of progressiyes
and radicals, who are planning
on throwing some political
bombs this coming session of
congress. On top Of that
came the announcement by
Mr.. Wheeler that he had APP
pointed Haste, the Non-parti-
san league leader, his private
secretary.
And Sam Stewart, and Dan Kelly,
and the trenchant editors of the staid
Great Falls Tribune and the excitable
Helena Independent and the Butte
Miner and the Anaconda Standard,
who, hoping to bury Joe Dixon, made
peace with Butr X. Wheeler and re-
moved from him the a~nathema, and
certified him to Montana democrats as
redeemed and purified from radical
%taints, what can they say? 1t is a
delightful situation except to those
who got in the way of the avalanche.
We who are not responsible for Mr..
Wheeler's victory surely may be par
doned if we chuckle over the plight
Of some of those who are. They loved
hated more. And verify the victory
they won. they did not want, and the
victory they did want. they did not
win.
Smooth are the political manipula-
tors who from Butte and Helena
have been wont to mix up the election
dope for us, but they woke up this
year to find that an untamed elector-
ate had done some remarkable manipu-
lating themselves.
And now the candidate whom the
Butte Miner and the Helena indie
pendent and the Great Falls Tribune
endorsed is arm in arm with Frazier
and Ladd, Shipstead of Minnesota,
LaFollette and Borah. 1t is good.
incidentally we confess we could
not place Burt Wheeler during the re-
cent campaign. We don't believe in
some of the things he has advocated
and some that he now advocates, but
we respect him more for being con-
sistent in radicalisll than we would
have if he had paid a price for his
election by turning r~eactionary. But
we certainly suspect that he did a neat
job of putting something over on the
old guard democratic leaders who In
their desperation tried to use him for
a weapon to knock down Governor
Dixon
Likewise, the Fergus County Argus,
a republican newspaper at Lewlstown,
is convinced that Wheeler is running
true to form" 1t says: THE an

pay blackmail to the demagogs for
the privilege of being let alone.
There is no danger to the country
from big business as far as we can
see. There is more danger from
the professional baiters of big
business. And this talk about spe-
cial interests in control of gov
eminent is mostly rot also. The
special interests who control gov
ernment are generally politicians
who have a private pipe line of
their own into the national treas
ury and who yell themselves hoarse
about special interests to distract
public attention from that fact.

WHEElER'S MEDICATION.

Senator-elect Wheeler has shown his
mettle under the most trying circum-
stances when few stood the test. He
was made United States district at
torney for the district Of Montana dur
ing the war--in that part of the coun-
try where intolerance Of opinion is
much greater even than it is in the
east. He refused TO be the bludgeon
by which every cowardly man who had
a personal grievance sought to strike
his enemy. He refused ito use the
power of his office against every one
concerning whom tho jealous, envious,
cowardly, or corrupt brought a charge
of ro-Germanism for the purpose Of
weakening the slandered man in the
community. His courage and firmness
raised a storm and led to his resigna-
ton. Now. in four short years, his

MANY OF H REPUBLICAN editors in Montana are

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
business depression of last year in its
impartial way did not spare the soap
industry of Cincinnati. That business
was hit as hard as the rest. Men were
laid off by the score, whole factories
shut down or reduced to part time, and
the miseries of slack business and I'M
employment fell upon the community.
But not entirely upon it. One little
plant kept busy. This small institution,
lying almost within the shadow of one
OF the largest soar factories In the
world, and appearing by c~parison SO
minute in size that it might have been
taken for some minor department of
its big neighbor. was nawar of the
hard times. Smoke poured from its
stack, its windows were alight in the
early winter dusk. it's clerks and work
expanded AID hired additional hands.
The cause of this anomaly can be
named in two words-Foreign Trade.
Ten years, even five years ago the
spectacle Of a small, middle-western
factory kept going By foreign orders
through a period Of domestic slack de-
mand, would not have been witnessed.
It was only the big producer then who
enjoyed the luxury Of foreign trade
concerns with millions of capital and
with money to spend in building up
the expensive and elaborate foreign
service that alone can make foreign
trade for q manufacturer a practical
proposition. The fifty or hundred
thousand dollar man had little chance.
Foreign trade was simply out Of his
reach.
Today things have changed. Amer
ica's foreign trade is becoming demo-
cratized. The small dealer has at his
free command nowadays a trade
gathering service far larger. more ex-
pert, and more effective than any
single American exporter IN the. past
has ever been able to build up for HIM
self. This service is known as the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, an ancient government institu-
ton in point of age, but so thoroughly
r~eorganized during the past two years
of Herbert Hooyer's administration OF
the department Of commerce and SO
greatly expanded in size and function
that it deserves TO be classed as a
brand new federal agency.
We Assume Lead In Exports
Under the guidance Of tnis organize
ton, American commerce ID
the competitive markets of the world.
The test came last year. The war bust
ness. which had swelled our export fig
ures to such enormous totals, had
to IN end. The helligerent nations of
Europe had settled down TO work.
Competition was once more inaugu-
rated. In 1913. the last pre-war year.
America shared with Germany the
honor of being second in point of ex-
port trade, the United Kingdom leading
the world. Last year II exports. four
and a half billion dollars in value, led
our nearest competitor. the United
Kingdom. by over a billion dollars, and
were nearly three times as great as
those of France. which ranked third.
Much of this increase in foreign
trade is going to the small manufac-
turer. 1t is enabling him to dispose of
his SURPRISES advantageously and is
thus keeping a prosperity level in his
factory.
The big dealer is sharing. too. in the
