Testerday's vote of the national home of representatives was unani mans in support of the proposition to temove the speech of Willett of New York from the official records. The lotion was well advised; nowhere In the oountry did the vituperative New Torker find an indorsement of his Position in unwarrantably and unreas enably attacking the president: he was eondemoed from one end of the nation to the other and the condemnation was unqualified. The action of the house yesterday was, of itself, a stern rebuke to the New York representa tive; but it is doubtful If he will ap preciate it; a man who talks as he did is beyond the reach of anything short of a whack with a club. But Ohe house has placed Itself right be pOre the people, which is the main taing; it would have been unfortunate bad the impression prevailed that Wil lWttes contemporaries and assooiates condoned his action. ANOTHER CHANCE. SAt eon today the government of (uba will be turned over once more ho the people of the Island and the ALmreicn authorities will withdraw from the responsibilities entaihld in the effort to keep the islanulds from cut ting each other's throats. Mr. Roose velt voiced the sentiment of America when be said that it is our earnest hope that the republic will govern It self with justice so that peace and order may be secure. While such is the hope of the people it clnnot be said to be the general expectation among those well Informed as to con dltlons In the island. Speculation in regard to the success of the new gov ernment is Indulged in on the basis of how long it will last, no one belleving, that another intervention is improb able. The greatest assurance of success for the new government lies in the strength and personality of President Gomes, a man of the people, personal ly known to them, magnetic and win ning, with the great prestige of his own service in the field as a success ful guerilla general in the last war. Jose Miguel Gomeo Is a man of act ife patriotism and austere virtue. He is described by American officials who have come in contact with him as a vigorous and Intelligent man of affairs. He left his fields to fight for the in dependeace of Cuba, and achieved dis lnotion as a leader. When the strug gle was over he devoted his time and his service to the reconstruction of the wrecked industries of the island and to the construction of the new gov ernment. As a member of the consti tutional convention and as governor of Manta Clara province, he was one of the leading figures in the building of thd' republic. The new republic starts its career with a serious problem of finance awaiting solution. The first two years of the provisional government ex hausted the national cash boxl which by official statement contained $15, 600,000 when the United States took charge of it and into which about $70, 00n,000 was poured for current rev enues during the two years. The gov rnment, alarmed by the situation, re cently called a halt. Work was sus pended and expenditures were cut down. About $2,000,000 is believed to be left in the public treasury at the present time. There remains, howev a, a legacy in the form of numerous contracts for work to be executed dur ing the next few years, for the pay ment of which the Cubans must pro vide either out of current revenues or by means of a national loan. TO REFORM SUNDAY. Spokane's business men have under aken to reform Bill Sunday, the aglrellst. When his revival services I Spokane have closed, the business me's erganisatlons propose to show him that their lcty Is not as bad as be bas painted it in some of his ex iltem statements; they do not blame he evangelist; they simply feeal that his tAMllpa sa has led him to extremes that ae'nwarrantable. Missoula can aPgOlIse with Spokane in this re / ite, too, has uttffered from the of reformers. The best Sr,, t e;i (ll world Is capable of um A (sthore is sonmething good itay in the world; no city .eto b wholly and uqualift edly condemned. The position of the Spokane business men is well ex pressed in the statement made by the chairman of the organisatlon, who says: 'Mr. Sunday has made many state. ments, which are far from the faoti. In the course of his sermons in the Spokane tabernaole, and we want to set him right on these matters before he leaves the city on a tour of Cali fornia and the southland. Many of the things he has said do injustice to our city. We do not believe he did this purposely or with the view of injuring any one, but simply because he did not get his facts from reliable sources or study the conditions. We want Mr. Sunday to meet our people; we want him to talk with them and hear their ideas. This will show him that most of the business men are in sympathy with the purpose of his work if not with his methods. We be lieve we will be able to show him that our men are all good fellows, and that as a community we are alive to our re sponsibilities as well as our oppor tunities. This, we believe, can be best accomplished by a general expression of views, and that is the chief ob ject in giving the dinner." THE POOLROOM. One of the most gratifying develop ments of the present open season for legislation has been the practically un animous stand that has been taken by the states against the poolroom evil. In nearly every state whore the pool room had obtained a foohold, there is agitation against it. lHere in Montana the friends of the institution, happily few, raised the cry that the sentiment against their particular form of rob bery was not representative and that it was not shared by any great num ber of business men. As the commnu nity directly affected, Butte Immedi ately took steps to reply to this as sertion and a strong body of her cit izens representing her principal bust ness interests, appeared before the leg islature and emphatically stated that the sentiment of the commercial inter ests of Montana's largest city is against the poolroom. In Spokane, similar action has been taken. Ten thousand of the residents of the city have unite4 in signing a memorial to the legislature, urging its members to adopt a law against race-track betting and poolselling. In California and Louisiana, where the racing interests halve blien strongly intrenched, this winter has witnessed radical action to ward abolishing the whole system. The poolroom people cannot justly claim that public sentiment upholds them; it is unreservedly against them. It is strongest, too, where the evil is best known. The German emperor, his fiftieth birthday past, realizes thie tremendous sacrifice entailed by total abstinence; but he will also observe the absence of a certain dark-brown, furry taste that succeeded his former birthday celebrations. 'rh life of the erring congressman hecomnth verily a nightmare, for he knoweth not when he will run up against a secret-service man; but the way of the upright lawmaker leadeth beside still waters, The best way to suppress poolrooms is to quit patronizing them; but if Butte is so weak as to be unable to keep away from them, a law prohib iting the business should be enacted. Mr. Rainey's remarks are character ized by charitable consideration of Tillman's frailties and by unreasoning, partisan prejudice against the pres ident. The primary-nomination ideas of Mr. Long are clearly at cross purposes with Mr. Donlan's conception of what a primary-nomination system should be. With all the returns in, the Land of the McIntosh Red shows as the warm est place in Montana during the cold storm. The Bitter Root holds the palm. The town of Carter believes it would be better off if it were wholly in one county or another, and it naturally wishes to be in Missoula. Mr. Bogart has been in public life long enough to know that professional services are not often donated to the state. General Warren has discovered that public offloe is not always a private snap: he has a thousand dollars' worth of experience. The fact that Missoula is a good town is receiving outside recognition. as is evidenced by the inquiries of investors. Mr. Jerome thinks he can take care of the World-Sun combination, and intimates that he would like the job. With Red Apples. red whiskers and red sunsets. It is no wonder the Bit ter Root is warm In winter. Mr. Rainey of Illinois likewise seeks notoriety at the expense of the sacri fice of good judgment. Train Robber Frankhauser will have plenty of leisure in which to repent, if he lives long enough. However, we do not Indorse the sug gestion that Charlie Warren didn't want to vote for Taft. Officially, it is now as if Willett had never spoken. He wasted his breath. The vote by states against the pool room is to all appearances unaimous. Rainey waited until Mr. Taft was out at sea before he made his attack. ELECTED SENATOR. Columbia, 8. C., Jan. 27.-E. D.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-Emperor William's 50th birthday was celebrated today throughout the countries composing the Reich, and, in a more primitive manner, but with equal good will and enthusiasm, in the German colonies and in all foreign countries where Germans may be found in a consider able number. There was little to dis tinguish today's celebration in Berlin from the similar celebrations in the past. In accordance with time-honored tradition the emperor was "awakened" this morning by a special hymn by the castle choir by trumpet fanfares sounded by the corps of palace trum peters at 8 o'clock. This, however, was merely a matter of form, to com ply with the traditions of the house. As a matter of fact the emperor had arisen several hours before that time and had transacted a large amount of state and other business. Fully dressed in a splendid military uni form, the emperor showed himself at a window of the castle overlooking the court, where the musicians and singers were gathered.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 27.--Despite the delay in securing a jury in the case against Colonel Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharpe, charged with the murder of Senator E. W. Carmack, the court room was well filled this morning when Judge Hart mounted the bench to hear the testimony in the charges against the two accepted jurors. John S. Leigh and H. H. Jackson, now in the jury box, were accused by the state of being habitual drunkards. In addition, Leigh was charged with having expressed an opinion. In the Leigh case the state summoned 15 witnesses and the defense twice as many. In the Jackson case the state sub poenaed 15 or 20, but the defense had not indicated its action. A venire of 500 men has been drawn and the sher Iff's deputies are out to summon them for Friday. At that time the work of completing the jury will be resumed. Judge Hart asked counsel on both sides how they wished to proceed. The defense asked that Jurors Leigh and Jackson be called and told of the charges. The state agreed to question the jurors as to having expressed an opinion, but said the question of drunkenness must be testified to by witnesses to enable the court to de cide. "And I presume I can get expert testimony on drunkenness right here in the court room," remarked Judge Hart, with a smile. "Doubtless," answered the attorney general. "That is if I need it," corrected the court. I have some expert knowl edge myself." "We will leave it to you, judge," chorused the defendants' attorneys. The counsel on both sides then asked time to consult with witnesses, which was granted. JUDSON IS GUEST AT BIG BANOUET New York, Jan. 27.-Dr. H. P.

He related his experiences and told, among other things, of an incident hardly to the credit of the American whom it concerned. Said Dr. Coulter: "When they were offering the women stimulants, after we had been trans ferred to the Florida, I am ashamed that one of my countrymen tried to secure some of it, when there was hardly enough for the women. But an Italian, mind you, pushed him aside, saying that the women were in greater need of it." On the whole said the speaker, the best of spirit prevailed, and he was struck by the generosity and bravery which prevailed on all hands. SUE ACTRESS. New York, Jan. 27.-Charles E.
