The nat ional election law passed the
house on the I'd inst. by vote of | 81
to ll9. This measure has brought
out hitter party contention in con-
gress. The Democrats declare that it
is unconstitutional and will uslrp
powers belonging to the state. The
Republicans believe this is a nation
with big IN" and that it is within
its power to give protection to every
voter in the land, particularly when
theelectiOns affect national legislation.
The bill was originated for the purpose
Of securing fair elections in congress
ional districts. The bill provides that
two supervisors be appointed for each
district, whose duty it shall be to
watch the registration and counting
of ballots and make returns as a
check on false counting. They are
authorized to open and count the
ballots when this work is not done by
state officials. The canvassing board
must make returns OF the count for
members of congress to "a Judge OF the
United States circuit court. The GER
tiicate OF this board endorsed by
the cOurt) shall be prima facie evil
dence OF the right to a seat in the
house.

The "sure thing" man was along
with RObinson's circus, and as usual,
suckers fell into his net. At some
points he was not allowed to operate
while at others it was held that he
was not liable because the ''shelP'
game is not mentioned among those
forbidden by the Montana statutes.
Nonsense. The law is SO wOrded
that it covers all games OF chance, or
games "where the per centage is greater
in favor OF the dealer than it appears
to he on it's face, or who conducts or
deals at any cheating or fraudulent
game OF chance OF any kind or descrip-
ton whatever" etc. II the chances
were not in favor Of the operator he
would not be in the business.

The 4th was celebrated in Montana
in a manner never before equalled.
While some OF the enthusiasm may
have been stimulated by liquids yet
there was a genuine patriotic feeling
that sprung from the heart. 1t is not
necessary to he noisy or perspire freely
in order to show ones patriotism.
Many hearts swelled with gratitude
for blessings OF the present and the
bright prospects for the future. Al
though this is the first year OF state
hood, Montana takes "a proud posi-
ton among her sister states. She has
more wealth per capita, more intelli-
gence, bett ter homes, and better morals
than many of the older states. Yet
her prosperity and great ness has just
begun-only in the germ. The future
will bring no disappointments.

still contend that the clip is dirtier
than last year, but growers will not
concede this. The American Wool

the Big Horn Southern, q project
backed largely by Montana men, could

gineerine difficulties or distance. From
Billings to the Musselshell river and
up that valley to the Castle Mountain
district, says the Herald, there is u
natural grade for u railroad, and once
at Castle, Helena's own road from
Helena tn that point would bring the
road on into the capital. The Herald
thinks this route about the only one
open to the Chicago X Northwestern.

and would make he line the shortest
and most direct route bet ween st.

The Herald's ideas are not visionary.
There are u number of trunk lines
that are anxious tn reach the mining
regions of Montana as well as the
coast and there il no object or neces-
sity in parall-ling one OF the old roads
for a single mile. The Musselshell
