The Inconsistency OF those who Oppose
Temperance.

The Inconsistency OF those who Oppose
Temperance.
Editor anderson IntelHgenocri:
In what have to say in these few lines
prohibition and temperance will be TAX Ell
rs meaning tho same thing. In speaking
refer 10 those who keep bar-fuonas, lor TO
those who are 30 blinded by intoxicants
as not to be able to see any force in any
argument that might be offered in favor
of prohibition =; but refer to those gentle.
men who. as they may see fit. frequent
bar-rooms and drink. Also to those who
do not use intoxicants, and yet will take
no stand against the licensing and sale of
wsisEey. or course they are in favor OF
tho sale OF liquor, or presumed so to DO,
at least.
Now, as to the first of these, those who
frequent these saloons and drink, it is
not hard to see their inconsistency. Can
it be supposed that these gentlemen would
stand by unconcerned and see their sons
or their clerks go to these places as often
as they do? No, indeed. But If it is
~runs for one to go, why not wrong for
the other? 1t has come to be fact that no
farmer wants laborer who drinks, and
that clerk TO be regular drinker, or thai
be frequents bar-rooins. Now, where is
there any consistency In their doing what
they think makes subordinate unde-
sirable and actually untrus.worthy
In passing would like to ask this ques-
ton: If drinking and drunkenness un-
fits @ man for q place on the RAILROAD, or
for clerkship in store, or for being q
bank officer. why is it that those who run
our State and County affairs persist in
thinking that drunkards, or at least drink
ing characters, can he safel" intrusted
with these very important interests?
But to return. There are those who do
not think saloOng prOper D]aces for them
to go; they see clearly that they cannot
bear the expense of frequent drinking
and further they will not employ those
who go to such places or drink. And yet
these same men will do nothing to re-.
move what to them would be an evil, and
to others must he q severe temptation.
Persons In business bring young men
here into the midst Of new and trying
scenes, where they must be greatly tempt
ed, and yet am told TINT some of these
business men. will not even sign q paper
to nsk for vote on this Important: ques-
ton. In order that others may try to close
up these places of entioemens, and put an
getting signers for the, petition; is Son-
cerned, am thankful 70 say that over
twice as many names as were needed
have been gotten. But how can the per-
sons above referred to fail to see their in
consistency. They believe and say that
the sale Of whiskey is an evil, and yet
will render no assistance in trying to ro-
move the evil. ~,
Have written the above not to censurc

who are otherwise SO excellent, TO aban-
don course which brings ham, and only

As the question of a division of
Meagher Co. will soon come before the
legislature, and being a matter of vital
interest to the residents and taxpayers
OF this end of the county, we trust
that a few suggestions regarding the
lines on which the proposed division
should be made, may not be consid-
cred impertinent. A question of the
first importance, in mapping out the
boundaries of a new county, should be
to so place the lines as to ~necessitate
the least possible travel over mountain
ranges, and bad roads, in order to get
TO the county seat. We shall take it
for granted that the county seat of the
proposed new county, will be located
somewhere in the Judith basin. That
point settled, we suggest the following
for the consideration of your readers,
as the most equitable division we can
ask for Taking the middle of Belt
creek, where it intersects the southern
boundary of Choteau county, as a
starting point, we follow the Main
creek up to its source in the Belt noun
tains, thence east along the top Of the
Main range of the belt mountains as
far as Okla, at the Judith gap, and from
Okla due south to the northern boun-
Diary Of Gallatin county. All the ter
ritory east of this line, now embraced
within the county of Meagher, to be
organized into a new county. We
could give several good reasons why
the line which we have here roughly
drawn, should be the dividing line be-
tween the old county and the new, hrt
