An Everxlade Court,

A Florida lawyer tells a New York Trib-
une correspondent this story of practice
down on Indian river: The lawyers down
there were good natured. INDECENT fellows,
who never had their cases ready for trial
when called. The Judge had often been
forced to spend n week in the close little
court-house and at the dreadful hotels,
when two days prompt work would have
wiped of the calendar. He had scolded
and threatened to no urpo many q
time. ssCourt Week" was a semi-annual
celebration down there, the "crackers"
gathered in from far and near, and tho
tavern-keepers expected to make q good
thing of IL and were seldom disappointed.
But the ud0e determined to teach them q
lesson ON this occasion.
He opened court promptly, with h re-
suit that one-half the dases ON the calen-
dar were called before counsel began 10
arrive. OF the other half not a single
case was ready. Every lawyer had q wit
ness, missing. or a juror late. or some
legal yet to he p with,
0nd all noted how affnble the Judge was
i'm granting a few hours' time ON the most
trivial plea. Finally, when the clerk of
the court announced that no moro cases
were ON the calendar, the judge gravely
sMr. Clerk, all these cases are contin-
ucd until next term. This court Ia going
fishin0."
Next term was six months Oft and there
was great Indignation, but the old Judge
could not be prevailed upon to chanGe his
mind.

WhO Is TO LAM

The brutal prize fight of sunday was
common talk in the streets of Butte all
day Monday, but for some reasOn best
known to the officials, 10 arrests were
made until late Monday night. The
officers relate their great surprise at not
finding Gallagher at home when they
finally arrived. 1t is probable that Mr..
Gallagher got tired of waiting and II is
not Mt all surprising that he was not
found. Men who are wanted for muir
der dom generally take the trouble to
place themselves in the way of the law.
and il Gallagher is lot caught it will
only be another incident of the incsm-
petence of certain Butte officials.
What Marshal Macarthur or any one
else for that matter Thought" is no ex-
cuse whatever for this blunder. Public
officers are not supposed to do any great
amount Of this sort of shrinking" when
actual facts are SO easily Obtainable.
The STANDARD doesn't care to criti-

particularly, but it is as plain ~ a
pikestaff that some one in Silver Bow
county is to blame for Gallagher not
being under arrest. In one sense. of
course, Gallagher is himself to blame,
for he should have waited patiently
until it was decided who should make
the arrest.

IhE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

As a compact state paper, exact in its
details, pointed in all that it recon-
mends, broad in the scope of topics
treated and unerringly patriotic in its
purpose, the message of Governor
Toole is a credit to its author. This
maiden message does ample credit to
Montana's first governor. 1t is not so
long but that every intelligent citizen
can read it from end to end, and its
crisp survey of public questions renders
any editorial summary difficult and, at
the same time, unnecessary.
In its earlier paragraphs. h message
discusses questions relating tn the
proper care of prisoners n insane
persons. In the Governors opinion
there should be no haste in providing
buildings for the several state institu-
lions for which Montana is o to be-
come responsible, but his judgment is
that the locality for these establish
ments may wisely be hxed at an early
day. Wholesome reform will follow if
the legislature needs the suggestions of
the Governor in regard to the fee sys-
tenn in its relation to county officials.
Regarding public lands. the question of
irrigation, the matter of the "a and
distribution of water, and especially in
all that is said i'm reference to whole
some restraints in the organization of
corporations, Governor Toole's views
will doubtless command the hearty as
sent Of every citizen i'm h state.
One of the most important of the
Governors recommendations il that
which urges the legislature to take
steps without delay for an amendment
to the constitution providing that pop
ulatiOn shall he the basis of representa-

debate i'm the constitutional conven-
ton, which ended with giving one sen
ator to each county, will lie remem
bered. The measure was warmly
opposed at h time and the question is
eminently one on which the people
should pass opinion. As to registra-
ton, the message points out the hard
ships entailed in las autumn's expe-
renee and suggests limitations which
would operate as u relief while not in
terfering with an honest vote.
The Governor favOrs the Australian
plan for elections, under certain amend
ments which are clearly indicated in
the message. Appeal is made for the
early establishment of terms for the
supreme court-especially to the end
the confusion in Silver Bow
county respecting courts there, which
is humiliating to the pride of every cit
izen," may be brushed away.
1t il to be hoped that every candid
citizen of Montana will rea the para
graph Of the message i'm which Gov
ernOr Toole states his own relations to
the recognition of either of the contend
ing houses at Helena. 1t merits peru
sal because, in a sense. it is a sword
personal" between the chief executive
of the state and its people. 1t is emit
tied to candid reception OH the part of
every fair-minded man because it is the
exact truth.

THEY'RE A BAD LOT

The recent disclosures of r~ottenness
among Mormon officials of Salt Lake is
a lifting climax tn the investigation of
the endowment house oaths. 1t would
seem that a part of the Mormon belief
is to steal right n left everything i'm
sight. The disclosure at Salt Lake are
startling yet not surprising. The pol
icy of fraud and thievery which has
ruled for years is being held up to pub
lie scOrn, and the rule of the latter-day
saints is drawing to a close.
The investigation before Judge An
derson proved ~conclusively that the fol-
lowers of Mormon teachings do not
make good citizens. and h more
recent investigation by the grand
jury has cOnclusively demonstrated
that Mormuns make the worst kind of
city and county officials.
