Standing the Test. Collier's: Montana has two dem
ocratic senators, Henry L- Myers and Thomas J. Walsh, and few men have been under such persistent pressure on the part of protected democrats back home. Both senators will probably vote for the democratic bill; but in the efforts that have been made to procure changes. Senator Walsh has given aid and comfort, to the protected interests, and Senator Myers has sturdily resisted the demands of those interests that he help to embarrass President Wilson. Some parts of a public statement which Senator Myers issued are really statesmanlike In quality, and noteworthy in their InciBiveness:
Tariff reform, like charity, should begin at home. Let us first strip our own protected interests of special privilege. Then we will be in a position to require the same of other sections. I see no reason why the half million people of Montana who do not grow wool should longer pay tribute to the few hundred who do. I believe in the greatest good to the greatest number.

CASE TRACTOR OUTFIT DEMONSTRATION SHOWED HOW ROADS CAN BE KEPT IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AT A MINIMUM EXPENSE. •
The t Case Co,, through Its local manager. August Hanson, yesterday, at the request of the good roads committee of the Pargo Automobile club, which was appointed some time ago to look into the advisability of buying a road making machine, gave an exhibition and a demonstration out north of the city. The committee was composed of W. W. Smith, president of the club, H, I*. Lrfoomis and J. P. Dotson. i ;
The outfit that gave the demonstration was made up of a twenty horsepower tractor, a road grader and a heavy drag. The road was-worked about one mile north of the city and then onto a cross road for one-half mile and then back again for another mile.
The work was well done. In fact the different members of the committee were delighted with the work. All of the work was done on the hard packed roads near the city and was really more difficult to work than the roads out in the country. The work that was dond took about three hours' time and it might be stated that would require twelve horses and four men to do this woirk in the old fashioned manner and not be so well done as under this system.
It is stated that ten miles of this road making can be done by the machine in a day. of ten hours, so that In one week's time all of the roads entering Fargo could be made in first class shape, at a comparatively small expehse. It might be said that in case such a machine would be bought it might possibly be used in the city proper on the unpaved roads and would do great work.
Many other people in addition to the committee were present and took a deep interest in all that was done and they were very much pleased with •yvhat they witnessed.

labors produce ineffective and bad results is due," he continued, "not to any general inferiority of the individual characters but to the fact that they are laboring under a wretched and impossible system—a system which handicaps efficiency and patriotism and promotes selfishness and even corruption."
As to the referendum, Mr, Stimson begged leave to remind his audience that representative government as a whole "is an evolution produced to meet the problems of a more complex age than the times wnen the people governed themselves directly. We shall not cure this difficulty by going back to the obsolete machinery of a simpler age."
Mr. Stimson gave instances of the predominance of what he termed the local over the national point of view In congress. Local characteristics of congress pervaded all that It did, he asserted, even down to the minute details of a congressman's work. He deplored the Inability of fearless representatives who offended their constituents by subordinating local to national Interests to serve the country from other districts than those In which they resided.. The principal national tonic of lawmaking, however, had been discarded by the United States, he said, in barring the executive from participation in the introduction and discussion of proposed legislation. Continuing, he said, In part:
"By depriving congress of executive leadership in legislation, we leave It without any natural or normal leadership whatever. In such a body leadership is imperative. We leave this body of over 500 men entirely alone without fixing upon any one the duty of seeing that certain classes of bills of national Importance must be considered first and without giving- any one the adequate power to perform that duty. Other nations regard the fulfillment of that duty as falling normally upon the executive. So do we also in our private business.
"It being Impossible to develop an executive in congress, and, on the other hand, we have stubbornly kept our present executive out of congress, what has been the result? We have produced a system of committee government under which a part of this selective process Is ostensibly done by certain standing committees of the house and senate,
The ceremorties will be held before the throne in honor of the May Queen. The eight senior girls robed in white will attend as maids of honor. Three little girls will act as train bearers and crown bearers.
A large number of friends of the college, have Inquired as to the publicity of the event. It is understood that the entertainment Is to be given for the high school and preparatory graduates, but Is in no way private.
velopment that we notice is that tremendous powers are exercised in secret and by men who, neither as committeemen nor as congressmen, are responsible to the country at large. Such a method of secret and irresponsible power is violative of the very first principles of modern democracy. As compared with the leadership of the executive obtaining in other nations, It substitutes a truly 'invisible government' for the responsibility of an officer working under the scrutiny of the fullest publicity; bearing the mandate of the whole people and directly responsible to them.
"This system of committee government has not been efficient in performing Its duty of supervising legislation, but, on the contrary, has been extremely inefficient. Nowhere has this been so clearly shown as in the case of our fiscal legislation.. Ours is the one country among civilized nations to which, as yet, such a thing as a budget is unknown. Only the fact that we are a young nation, with boundless resources, and that our revenues have been increasing in spite o£ us, has saved us from coming to grief from such lack of foresight.
"The result of such a lack of system is inevitable. Congress is at the mercy of any individual or private interest which can get before any of these committees and on an ex- parte hearing impress them with the desirability of an appropriation.
"Such legislative methods simply invite demands for improper favors. The secrecy of the committee room plays djrectly Into the hands of the lobbyist and the corporate seeker for favor, while the lack of personal responsibility makes it Impossible for the people to punish any one politically for the results of the system.
"I believe that by far the greatest part of the inefficiency and attendant corruption from which we are suffering In our federal and our state governments today can be directly traced to that venerable heresy which keeps the influence of our executives out of our halls of congress and assemblies. That it Is a heresy has been long and abundantly proven. The harm which It Is doing here Is becoming constant ly more acute. , The inability of con gre3B, even with longer sessions an<i extra sessions, to get through its work is Becoming more evident with each year. Very much of the congestion of its business comes simply from the fact that under modern conditions a system without leadership is becoming daily more Impossible. . "I believe that there Is no sound
foundation for the fear that the reform in question would at all diminish the dignity or power of congress. On the contrary, executive co-operation In legislation would enhance the importance and opportunities of legislators. The transfer of the real fight from the secrecy of the committee room to the open debate of the floor would necessarily evolve congressional leadership both In furthering^ the administration programme and in call-in? forth an effective opposition tn meet such a well-defined and well espoused programme of the admiuiB tration. Congress would become o more truly deliberative bo^y." .

FISH ACCIDENT MAN WHO WAS RUN DOWN LAST
EVENING BY AN AUTOMOBILE IS AT ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL AND HIS CONDITION CANNOT BE DETERMINED AT PRESENT.
The man who Is believed to be Tony Penisch, who was run down by an automobile near the corner of Broadway and Front last night, is still unconscious at St. John's hospital, and his condition remains very serious.
The man was crossing the street and becoming confused stepped right In front of a machine driven by Bert Steele, and was knocked down. He was at once picked up by Mr. Steele, who was driving his machine at a very slow rate of speed and was taken to the hospital, where it was found that he had his right leg broken above the knee, making a very bad break, and was suffering from a fracture of the skull. Mr. Steele had some ladies in his machine and made a very sjudden stop, and did all in his power to relieve the man, and is extremely sorry over the accident, but those who saw it were of the opfnion that It was through no fault of his. An inquiry at the hospital this afternoon is to the effect that the man is still unconscious and the extent of his injuries cannot be fully determined at this time.
