A GOOD

The principles of the Montana democ-
racy as set forth in the platform
adopted at Great Falls are beyond mis-
understanding. They cover all the
ground, are tersely stated and should be
carefully studied by every voter in this
state. 1t is a platform that should in
spire every democrat and win the sup
port of hundreds of doubtful voters. 1t
carries its own comment from first to
last.
There is one paragraph, however, to
which not only all democrats but all
good citizens Of Montana will subscribe
an honest approval, and that is the res
olution which endorsed "tile honest,
faithful and conservative administration
OF present executive, Gov. Joseph
X. Toole." Gov. Toole fully deserves
every word Of the generous and honest
praise given to his administration with
out regard to political lines. 1t was
commenced under difficult conditions.
Montana had just emerged from terri
torlal existence into the higher respon-
sibllities OF statehood, and with this
change we're involved many trying situ-
ations. New departments we're organ
lied, public lands were to be divided
and the machinery Of a new state set in
working order. The chief responsibility
rested upon the governor, and in all this
work he has been successful even be-
yond the hopes of his friends who knew
well his splendid equipments for execu-
tive duties. AS during his congressional
terms, he has worked intelligently and
Loyalty for the good OF the state. He
has increased his popularity by every
act Of bis administration. People who
have had business at the executive office
found the same courteous, kind hearted
and even-tempered gentleman as in
other branches OF public or professional
life. His state papers and his speeches
IN occasions when the governor Of the
state may be very properly asked to Of
ticiate, will find lasting places i'll the ar
chives Of the state, and in the memories
Of all Montanians fortunate enough to
live during this first period of state
food.
lie has been a model governor and all
are proud Of him. And it may Just AS
we'll be stated here that his public career
is by no neal finished. The citizens
will again call him 70 public duty be-
cause he has been tried and found right.

Health of the Survivors of the War

While the health of some men has
been improved by their military service
during the war, even to the preserva-
ton of lives that would have been lost
had the owners remained exclusively
in civil life, the health of the average
veteran has been deteriorated by hi.
service; and that he suffers more from
illness and has somewhat less eXpec-
tation of life than other men of his age.
This conclusion, based as it is upon an
examination of the census data for
small part of the country, is provis-
ional one only, and we must wait for
more complete compilations to give
definite and reliable figures. DR.. John
S. Billings, IN the January Forum.

NOT few of our readers will re-
member an interesting address made at
the last meeting of the Dairymen's
Association in Burlington by e f.
Bowditch of Massachusetts,, upon the
subjects OF sheep husbandry aud the
dairy. The recent death of Mr.. Bow
ditch, at the comparatively early age of
fifty, is heavy loss TO progressive agri-
culture in New England. His special
ties were sheep and the dairy, and he
had mastered them by faithful study
and hard work, " from the ground up"
Though of noted and wealthy family
his grandfather being the great math-
ematician of that name, author of
Bowditch's Navigator, the hand book of
seamen the world over, and his father
the eminent Boston physician whose
fame is almost as widely spread-yet he
took to practical farming in his boy
hood, and mastered it in all its princi
pies and details, as few farmers have
ever mastered it. His terse, prompt
replies to queries by his auditors will
be fresh in the minds of many who
were present at the meeting. Early
lambs and Guernsey COWS he knew
about as few know anything in farm.
ing, and his enthusiastic thoroughness,
tinctured with an evident intolerance
of slack thinking and slack work, was
most evident. His example will never
be lost, and we look to see a class OF
educated farmers spring up and in
crease in New England, to which Mr.
Bowditch's memory will remain as an
inspiration to mastery in this noblest
occupation of man.
