Whether today's visit by the great Commoner had anything of especial political significance or not is not material. If for no greater purpose than offering an opportunity to shake hands with old friends and to discuss the weather, the colonel's visit here is an event. For Butte does not fail to remember those days when his partisans were proud of his leadership and glad of an opportunity to give him their support. No man, not even a president himself, had a greater reception in Butte than on one notable occasion when Bryan, the candidate, was greeted by cheering thousands. Bryan hasn't forgotten that day, and Butte hasn't forgotten it. It has been charged oft times that Bryan, the Bryan of those old days, had changed. It had been charged that with increasing prosperity his old views were not as they were when he struggled for political place and for dollars at the same time. Fortune has smiled on him, since those times; for Bryan is a rich man. But if one may judge by the things he said in Butte today the change has been mostly in the imagination of his opponents. To all appearances he is very much the Bryan of old—a chaser after phantoms, still charging windmills, impossible, yet exerting a tremendous influence in his party, and still possessing a charm all his own. The change in Mr. Bryan will be vastly greater than now apparent before he can come to Butte without receiving evidence of the admiration in which he is held. # EXPLAINING THE UNEXPLAINABLE Colonel Roosevelt in June, 1911, wrote a letter to a newspaper man in which he [m]ade it very clear he had not pledged his [s]upport to any candidate for the office of president. At the same time he also stated that he would not be a candidate for the office in 1912 and declared that he but reiterated a statement which he had [o]ften repeated. [S]oon after Colonel Roosevelt announced his [c]andidacy last month, The Washington Star printed a statement in which it was said that from sources having no connection with the White House, it had learned that Pr[e]sident Taft had been assured of the supp[o]rt of Colonel Roosevelt, who had also stated specifically that he would not be a candid[a]te for the office. Last Saturday it coming to the ears of the strenuous ex-president that two cabinet officers, Meyer and Stims[o]n, had been reported to have said that he had given the assurance that he would n[o]t run this year, he stated that they had [ne]ver said so because they could not have [s]aid so. On Sunday a portion of a letter [w]ritten [l]ast June by Roosevelt in which he said he would not be a candidate in 1912 was sent out by The Associated Press from Washington, to be followed by a statement from the Colonel that had the entire letter been printed, it would have put a different face on it. Yesterday the Associated Press sent out the full letter, which appeared in last evening's Inter Mountain. It would be difficult to see how the com- ## Column 2 plete letter changes the situation in any way. The fact is that eight months after Colonel Roosevelt wrote that he would not be a candidate in 1912 he came out for the office. In that letter of June 27, last, he stated that he had told Secretary Meyer and Secretary Stimson, among others, "what he had always said," namely, that he would not be a candidate in 1912. Why, then, could not these cabinet officers, if they had chosen to have done so, told their chief, President Taft, that Roosevelt had given them personal assurance that he would not be a candidate? Why, indeed, when Roosevelt writes that he did that very thing? Yet on Saturday the Colonel at Oyster Bay, referring to the statement that Secretaries Stimson and Meyer had not had that assurance, said: "They never said so. They never said so because they could not." A man who talks too much may be depended upon usually to write too much. Colonel Roosevelt in 1904 and again in 1907 made formal statements in which he said that "under no circumstances" would he be a candidate for or accept another nomination for the presidency. His attempt now to make it appear that he meant at that time he would under no circumstances be a candidate for a third consecutive nomination is puerile, particularly as only last June he put in writing that he would not be a candidate in 1912 and that in so expressing himself he meant "just exactly what he had said always." The celebrated Joline letter proved nothing that was not already well known. It brought attention to the fact that Governor Wilson, now enjoying the good opinion of Colonel Bryan, whose principles he now approves, was at one time opposed to Bryan and those principles and that he then hoped the Peerless Leader would be "knocked into a cocked hat" for the good of the party and the country at large. Moreover, Governor Wilson did not deny the letter, nor has he attempted by quibb[l]ing to escape its consequences. With Colonel Roosevelt the situation differs. Here we have a man who was once president, who without exception was the best known citizen in all the land, pledging himself to keep out of the presidential race, only to break that pledge a few months later, on the purely manufactured ground that the people desired him to do so. And now comes the spectacle of this really great man jumping sidewise to escape the consequences of the position that he finds himself in. As The Boston Transcript remarks, the Colonel is no more successful than any other man in explaining the unexplainable. # NOT OUT OF PLACE Still a farmers' institute in Butte is no more incongruous than a mining congress in Spokane. Because its mining overshadows in importance every other industry is no reason why Butte may not find time to interest itself in farming and all the diversified lines that go with it. Indeed, we already have more farmers in this district than is generally known. Too high for grain growing, the agriculturists of this section yet grow produce to an extent little appreciated by those who have no actual knowledge of conditions. There are profitable side lines to farming also that may be found in a high state of development here. Butte leads in the production of fancy chickens in this state. It has not a few dairies of importance; it can and does grow garden stuff of a superior quality. One of the purposes of a farmers' institute is to direct attention to the advantages of soil treatment in a particular district. Perhaps the coming convention will be the means of developing those lines of farming best adapted to this district. At least it must prove profitable to those already engaged in agricultural pursuits, and this, the first institute held in Butte, should pave the way for others to follow. The fact that in June, 1911, a man will under no circumstances be a candidate, and in February, 1912, he will accept the nomination, doesn't perhaps qualify him for membership in the Ananias club, but it at least puts him on the waiting list. Women lawyers of Massachusetts are seeking a change in the state constitution so they may act as notaries. Sure. A woman lawyer who can't swear lacks one of the essential elements of success. Two or three months ago Colonel Roosevelt wrote a Pittsburg editor that he would regard his own nomination as a "genuine calamity." Mr. Taft and others feel exactly the same way about it. The British public is beginning to feel that the hand that rocks the cradle hasn't much in common with the hand that rocks plate glass windows. In view of their performances those British suffragettes ought at least to enjoy the suffrage in any well-regulated anarchist society. To the colonel of all sad thoughts of tongue or pen the saddest are those contained in that unfortunate letter of June 27, last. While the endless chain is trying in any situation, Mexico and China find that system applied to revolutions is the limit. Now that Roosevelt is foreman of a jury he might report a verdict clearing himself. It must have been that the colonel had his fingers crossed when he wrote that letter last June. Connecticut feeds its convicts on nine cents a day. Probably on wooden nutmegs. ## Column 3 # MERRY EVENING AT GREGSON SPRINGS ### James J. Regan Is Guest of Honor at a Formal Affair. Gregson Springs did itself proud last night in its entertainment of National President James J. Regan of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the 60 odd Irish and Irish-American admirers who gathered round the festive board to do honor to the distinguished chief of an olden order. On the walls hung large oil paintings of the late D. J. Hennessy and Marcus Daly. Green and gold, stars and stripes, potted palms, flags of the two countries and the monogram of the Hibernians were used by Jimmie Hurley in a decorative scheme that transformed the dining hall of the resort into a fairyland of color and beauty. During the banquet an orchestra and a number of vocal selections entertained. The menu card was distinctively characteristic of the occasion and paid tribute to different portions of the mother-isle. Personal favors were handed each guest as happy mementos of the evening. The speakers imbued with the spirit of the gathering paid tribute to the worth of the order of which Mr. Regan is national head and Mr. Regan's address was received enthusiastically. The party went from Butte at 6 o'clock and returned at midnight. ### The Program. John J. O'Meara, state president of the Hibernians, was toastmaster. Those who spoke to toasts were W. K. Dwyer of Anaconda, "Our Distinguished Guest;" P. J. Brophy, "Montana;" Rev. Father Batens, "My Impressions of an A. O. H. Banquet;" Former Mayor Charles P. Nevin, "Political Experiences;" Attorney Maurice J. English, "The Ladies;" C. E. Meagher, "American Citizenship;" Walter Breen, "Irish Characteristics;" Judge Jeremiah J. Lynch, "Robert Emmet;" James B. Mulcahy, "The Press;" Deputy County Attorney John V. Dwyer, "The Host and Hostess." Mr. Regan spoke on "Our Order." His address was a brilliant one. He told the Hibernians the work that was expected of them and appealed for mutual support of Irishmen by Irishmen. Mr. Daly expressed his pleasure at the honor conferred on him by the distinguished gathering and Mrs. Daly as state president of the Ladies' Auxiliary expressed to Mr. Regan the pleasure it was to her and Mr. Daly to entertain the national chief of the order at Gregson Springs. Songs were given during the evening by Mrs. Hugh Daly, Miss Eileen Daly, Master James Daly, Thomas Costello, James Murphy, Mike Sheehan and Walter J. Shay and an Anaconda quartet. "The Wearing of the Green" was sung at the conclusion of the banquet by Miss Connolly of Anaconda. ### Church Represented. A recitation by Michael Gavigan was one of the happy events of the evening. Miss Mulvahill gave some piano selections. The church was represented by priests from the different divisions of the Hibernians in Butte. Many telegrams were received from absentees. Mr. Regan left this afternoon for Anaconda accompanied by John J. O'Meara and other Hibernians. He will attend the meeting of the Hibernians in Anaconda this evening. Tomorrow evening he will be guest in Hibernia hall, Centerville, at a joint meeting of the Hibernians and the Ladies' Auxiliary. ### Those Present. The following were seated at the banquet board: James J. Regan, John J. O'Meara, the Rev. Father O'Kennedy, the Rev. Father McCormack, the Rev. Father Batens, the Rev. Father Joyce, John P. O'Neill, P. H. Kenny, F. J. Durvin, D. H. Crowley, Henry Crangle, James T. Fi[n?]len, M. J. Walsh, Mike Murray, Charles P. Nevin, Barney McGrade, J. V. Dwyer, M.

This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and oversome [sic] a sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after. Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula, plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes, and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour, undigested food, Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-or-order [sic] stomach with the common, every-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poison, which putrefy in the digestive tract and intestines, and besides, poison the breath with nauseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion, and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin. ## Column 4 # A HEALTHY, HAPPY OLD AGE [advertisement] May be promoted by those who gently cleanse the system, now and then, when in need of a laxative remedy, by taking the ever refreshing, wholesome and truly beneficial Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, which is the only family laxative generally approved by the most eminent physicians, because it acts in a natural, strengthening way, and warms and tones up the internal organs without weakening them.

Thousands are spending fortunes in frantic efforts to remove the signs of premature age from their faces. Such women willingly pay almost any amount of money for worthless wrinkle removers, of which there are many. If they only knew it, the most effective remedy imaginable is a simple, harmless face wash which can be made up at home in less than a minute. They have only to get an ounce of powdered saxolite and half a pint of witch hazel at the drug store and mix the two. Apply this daily as a refreshing lotion. The effect is almost magical. Even after the first treatment a marked improvement is noticed and the face has a smug, firm feeling that is most pleasing. # INTER MOUNTAIN'S DAILY FASHION HINT [spans columns 4-5] [illustration: woman in a wide-brimmed hat with a large bow and a coat with trimmed revers; two small views of the coat at the right] A FASHIONABLE SPRING COAT.—The coat made without a collar and with revers is a very new and very smart one.

San Antonio, Texas, March 5.—Nat Parks, livestock agent of the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio railroad, has returned from El Paso, to which city he accompanied a battery of United States artillery. He witnessed the fight which preceded the surrender of Juarez to the rebel forces and said he never knew before it was possible for such a pacific and peaceful battle to take place. He said: "The battle was a farce. An army consisting of not more than fifty men dragging a single field piece approached the city. Possibly eight of the men were mounted, the others on foot. A few scattered rifle shots were exchanged between the assailing army and the city's defenders, the cannon popped once like a big fire cracker and immediately a white flag was run up in Juarez and the rebels entered without further opposition. No one was hurt and apparently no one's feelings were even ruffled." # THE MEN WHO SUCCEED as heads of large enterprises are men of great energy. Success, today, demands health. To ail is to fail.

London, March 5.—Two of the suffragettes who took part in last night's window-smashing campaign in Victoria street, near the houses of parliament, were sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labor today. The magistrate had 150 cases against suffragettes still to deal with, 87 of them arising from the serious riots of last Friday, when the accused caused damage of $25,000. Alice Wright described as an American residing in Paris, was sentenced today by the magistrate sitting in the West London police court to two months' imprisonment at hard labor on a charge of window-smashing. All the other women who engaged in the raid yesterday in the west end received similar sentences. The addition of hard labor to the term of imprisonment is a departure on the part of the magistrates and has caused dismay among the women.
