stand there is a possibility of tracing
some OF these fires to the evil-doers. II
that Is so, let Ee assure you of this fact,
that one trial or even one Indictment, and
especially one conviction, would do more
to make men careful upon the ranges, do
more to stop the propensities of the evil
doers, than all the laws which have been
posted by the stock association.
There is another matter of which |
will speak. There Is law, passed at the
last legislature, to have physicians obtain
q certificate from the board, appointed by
the proper authorities, certifying as to
their ability and good moral character. I
believe that the regular practitioners were
very much pleased to get that law passed,
but | do not believe that they are any
more pleased than you Or ought to be-
Though there is very little danger that
you Or | will suffer from what is called
"quacks," you, at least have too much
sense, and l will try to have enough, not
to go to such mem but there is an un-
fortunate class who have not that amount
Of judgment and who expose themselves
to mere trickery, more ignorance and
more evil results than either you, they or
are aware Of. That law was passed to
protect just such people as | have men
toned It is wise, proper and just law.
The court then referred to the duties
of public officers and said it was against
the law for any Of the commissioners to
be interested in any contract in which
the county is interested. 1t is wise law
that says that county commissioner shall
not be interested, directly or indirectly,
in any contract to which the county is a
party, and any commissioner can be pun
ished severely for violation thereof.
In conclusion, the court referred in
very complimentary language to the good
conduct Of the people Of Great Falls, t.
their respect for the law, to their good
behavior on the streets and in the court
room, and congratulated the citizens on
the law and order that had been main
tained, and had been constantly increas-
ing for at least year past, expressing
his belief that nowhere in the territory
could there be found community in
which there was less crime and lawless-
ness, or more respect for the law than is
now shown by the citizens of Great Falls
and vicinity.
