WHY CRITICIZE?
Some time ago there w\\s inal:g
urated in Germany a piiulic sil'sn'ip- t

everywhere, those in the United Staltes,
included, were expected to donate to
the fund, which was ti total t'o Inil

DEATHBED REPENTANCE
The political event of the week has been, without ques
tion, the mock session of the republican national commit
tee, which went through a farcical program of avowal of
repentance for past sins against good morals and offenses
against decency.
There was a good deal of palaver; there was admission
by some members-that the party had done wrong in the
past. But there was nothing done to indicate any sincerity
of purpose to clean house. The stand-pat element con
trolled and the Cummins-Borah convention, proposed for
the purpose of purging the party, will not be held.
When the committee adjourned, it left the situation al
most exactly as it was when the session opened. There
were some recommendations for reduction in southern
representation, but there was a string attached even to
these. The session was decidedly a victory for the reac
tionaries; it shattered whatever hopes the Cummins-Borah
folks may have entertained.
The only bluff at reform which the republican national
committee made was the fake plan for reorganizing the na
tional convention. It does not seem possible that this will
deceive anybody, yet this mock session was satisfactory to
the members of the committee. Doctor Lanstrum says so
and he was present as representative from Montana.
The whole process of the republican committee more
closely resembled galvanism than revitalism. The stage
setting was elaborate and the advance press notices were
ample to insure public notice. The batteries were there
and the induction coils, and the corpse was stretched out in
plain sight. With proper ceremony, the connections of
wires were made and with a blare of trumpets the current
was turned on. The result was a mere spasmodic move
ment of the muscles in response to the electric current, but
there was not one genuine heartbeat.
The animating power of parties is issues and the repub
lican committee meeting showed that this power is not to
be created at will by a body of men, even though they be as
sembled in response to the call of personal ambition. This
animating power "is generated by the dynamo of democ
racy and flows into the channel most available and most
adaptable for its operation. It organizes its own body and
works through it, so long as it remains responsive."
Eighteen months ago, the republican leaders destroyed
the plant which had generated their party power and cut
the wires: they try now to obtain power from a dinky little
committee dynamo instead of the great popular power
house, which once supplied their motive power. And it
won't work. A party big enough and strong enough to
command popular respect cannot be constituted around a
mere change in rules and a desire to regain office.
On the day of the session of the republican national com
mittee, the progressives in the house of representatives at
Washington adopted resolutions declaring that they viewed
with interest "the deathbed repentance of the republican
h aders for the sins of the late republican convention and
their present hypocritical offer of reform in representation
at future conventions."
These resolutions direct attention to "the fact that reform
of the national convention does not touch the fundamental
difference between the progressives and the republican par
ties, and that hereafter in all probability presidential candi
dates will be nominated, not by conventions, but by direct
vote of the people."
That is the plainest statement of the situation which can
be made. It emphasizes the hollowness of the republican
p'otestations of penitence.

A $5 Christmas Gift
For Every Man
• /
A $5.00 HAT FREE
With Any Suit or Overcoat

We're not going to say "the spirit of the season
prompts us to make this most generous offer,"
entirely, though it has something to do with it.
It is a straight business proposition---We have
a lot of fine suits and overcoats, men's and young men's,
and to make it an object to buyers we will give Absolutely
Free, choice of all our $5 hats---Stetson hats, Knox hats,
Velour hats---with any suit or overcoat not already specially
priced; by this we mean with the exception of our $15 and
$18 clothes which are now selling at $10,75, and our $20
and $22.50 clothes, for which $16.50 is the present price.
Now, how many men want a $5 hat FREE? Wouldn't a
suit of clothes or an overcoat, or both, come in just about
right now and make the season more joyous for you?
Wouldn't a new hat just about fix you up complete?
Wouldn't the $5 saved come in mighty handy to buy Christ
mas presents for others? We thought so, hence this offer.
Missoula Mercantile Co. clothing is too well known to need
exploiting hcrc--il' you don't know it, now is your chance
to learn something about clothes for which you'll be grate
ful. Here are suits and overcoats in every up-to-date style,
fabric and pattern, more garments to select from, perhaps
than the combined showings of all other Missoula clothing
stores. Can there he any question but you'll find just the
sort of clothes you want, that you can be fitted, that you
can be satisfied! Free hats with all suits and overoaats at
$25.00 and up, our lower priced being now on sale at very
attractive reductions.
