The admirable county ticket put in

county. 1t makes a great difference to

whether the Office of sheriff Is managed
with the recklessness that has charac-

whether 1t il kept within the prudent

The STANDARD mas shown how ex-
penses entailed by the county, under
mounted up to an e~xtravagant and un-
warrantable total. 1t has been shown,
also, that fees amounting to an aggregate
of hundreds Of dollars annually have
been illegally collected through the

the STANDARD has made il clear that
Mr.. Moore, however estimable q gentle
man he may be in private or business life,
is not well fitted to discharge the duties
incident to the Office Of sheriff. His
first term has been ~inexcusably costly
and In other details it has merited the
criticisms which have been brought
against it through agencies which, con
fessedly are nOn-partisan,b but which are
accepted by the public as official.

clusively TO Mr.. MOore's official record

No Free Trade in the London strike.
From the Rocky Mountain News.
Many of the high tariff are
trying to make the point that the recent
great London dock strike was the result Of
free trade. Nothing could he further
from the fact. The dock companies are
stocked far above their value, and the
amount represents not only q large
amount of water but the losses of many
former nianagements. To pay a dividend
on this enormous capitalization the man.
agement robbed commerce on the one
hand and labor On the other. Labor got
tired of Il, and organised n strike and won

more than there was i'm the great Burling-
ton strike of two years NO..

HOME TALENT is PRETTY GOOD

With due respect to the views of
the Hon. Thomas B. Reed. of Maine,
the STANDARD wants to remar right
here that i'm one thing Mt least he is off
the trail. When he stated i'm his speech
at Butte the other night thai Montana
was bound to be IA republican state i'm
the future. as the new settlers from
the East" would make il so, he forgot
the courtesy due his entertainers
here. and the people of
Montana. To be sure, we
are all willing to learn, but then, you
know, we don't hav to go as far as
Maine for information, and republicans
as well n y democrats agree i'm saying
hat the people of this new state are
fully competent to direct their own
affairs.
The spectacle of this product of the
land of drug stores n the home of
stomach bitters coming to Montana to
tell the people how they shall vote, and
having the presumption to say that re-
publicans from the East are coming
out here to take charge of things, is
not very complimentary to the sturdy
old timer who have made this country
what il il, and whose efforts have made
statehood possible.
1t is only within the past few months
| that Eastesn republicans have seemed
to realize the existence of this terri.
tory, but the voters of this state don't
intend to surrender what is theirs by
right of previous discovery, and neither
do they propose to turn things over
body and breaches to ~tenderfeet from
the East, and much less to any mar
from Maine, or indianapolis either, fol
that matter.

rarncs the Hose ON the Governor.

Gubernatorial dignity met with a
serious mishap. Governor Hoard was
sitting on q neighbor's veranda on q
pleasant evening, together with quito
party Of ladies and gentlemen, while
a young lady Of the neighborhood was
playfully dallying with q hose on the
lawn in front Occasionally she
would roguishly permit some sprays
TO settle gently over the party, at once
naively apologizing for her derelic-
ton.
Finally, the governor, who was in
q mood for fun himself. quietly arose
and, with q twinkle in his eve. saun.
tered down the walk in the direction of
the young lady. OF course intending,
when Q good opportunity offered, to
seize the hose and give tho roguish
girl q good drenching for her mis-
cheivous pranks. But the latter,
though appearing utterly unconscious
OF her surroundings, was keenly on
the alert and when the governor was
all but ready TO spring his joke she
