OuR police force 10 small but It Ia
rendering efficient service in Kidding the
town Of burglars and sneak thieves.
Our citizens can do much to help tho
police by taking some precautions them
selves. Many persons lock up their
houses and leave town for days and even
weeks without notifying the police Of
their intention to be absent. The
empty houses are at onoe a temptation
and a safe hiding place for thieves.
There is much oarelessness in the mat
ter OF leaving windows and doors inse-
curely fastened. With a little thought
fulness the work Of the burglar could
be made more difficult and hazardous
and the duties Of the police officers less
oneroua.

A JUDGE in New Jersey has charged
the grand jury strongly to investigate
the hazing a. Princeton college and to
bring in criminal indictments against
the guilty students. There ought to be
a judge Of that sort In every college
town. Hazing in our colleges is a relic
Of barbarism that should be frowned
down. The recent outrage at Princeton
where fifteen ble-bodied sophomores
threw a solitary freshman into the
canal was a peculiarly cowardly and
brutal affair. About six months in Jail
for each of the offenders would be a
wholesome lesson.

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT 1T?

"We have wrested the country from
savages only to throw it into the hands
Of political wolves to fight and snarl
over"
Such we're the sharp words of the old
timer whose communication in relation
to an extra session of the legislature
appeared in yesterdays INDEPENDENT.
How apt the characterization! How
true, but how disgraceful! Yes, after
long years of waiting to enjoy the
f~ruition Of our hopes in statehood, we
find ourselves unrepresented when the
voice Of Montana should be uplifted in
defense or her interests. And for what?
Simply because personal and political
ambitions dictate otherwise. Nobody
denies that we are entitled to fill the
vacant chair in the United States sem
ate. The constitution OF the United
States and Of the state of Montana con-
tain express provisions for securing us
full representation, under any circum-
stances that may arise. The calling Of
an extra session Of the legislature is a
simple executive act. Unfortunately
our state constitution provides no rem
edy where tho governor fails to do his
duty. The people may unanimously
demand that the legislature be con-
vened to elect a United States sena-
tor but the executive can defy tho
popular will and 60 UNPUBLISHED for his
contumacy.
Yes, indeed, we are in the hands of
political wolves to fight and snarl
over" 1t has been so ever since we at
tempted to be a state. 1t will continue
to be so until we throw off the yoke of
political bosses and drive them and
their puppets into obscurity.

FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.

The farmers of the Bitter Root valley
have established one of their number in
Butte to endeavor TO dispose Of their
farm products in that market. He
writes to the Northwest Tribune that
he encountered much ignorance and
prejudice regarding Montana produce
and fruits, and that many dealers are
disposed t. deal with outside states in
preference to their own. Undoubtedly
u farmers have much to learn about
carefully asserting and putting up their
vegetables and fiults for market. and
they should be impressed with the i'm
p%ortance Of putting their best foot fore
most when they come in competition
with the wares from other states. Mr..
M. j. Allison, the gentleman to whom
We have referred, writes to the Tribune
from Butte: "Two hundred times as
much produce could be sold here if it
were at hand. Carload after carload is
arriving daily from Washington, Cali
fornia, Utah, Idaho, Kansas City and
st. Paul" Mr.. Allison suggests to the
blLter IVOOt larllerS al organization OF
. stock company to build cold storage
and frost proof cellars and warehouses
where apples and other fruit. poultry,
butter and eggs, beets, carrots, parsnips,
turnips and potatoes can be kept in
readiness to market at the best advan-
tage. Hay, oats, wheat and -four could
be kept in warehouses and sold az
needed.
Mr.. Allison's ideas are good and could
be advantageously acted upon by farm
ers all over the state. The introduce
ton Of Montana flour, as the result of
an effort to boycott the product of anti
silver states, has been marked by such
wonderful results that our farmers
should be encouraged to push other
products Of Montana soil. The boycott
need not be resorted to for this purpose.
but a little organized effort and adyer-
Using will accomplish the same ends.
Already our grocers can not supply the
sudden demand for homemade flour,
Every product of the Montana farm
should be in like demand until our MOO
pie are aroused to the importance of
keeping at homo the money they now
send abroad for the purchase of food
supplies.

WILL we get the silver question out
OF the way this week? The situation
looks very hopeful so far as the senate
is concerned, and we do not believe the
house will long fight a compromise.
There are important fall elections in
New York, Massachusetts, Ohio and
Iowa, and the boys are anxious to yet
homo and mend their political fences.
The chances are ten to one the house
will snap at any compromise the sen ate
may offer.

There are no hardships to be endured,

i,OIntO Exchange.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The committee on
the Worlds Fair Potato Kitchen, at
its late Parksley meeting, was forced
to the conclusion that the plan rs
proposed is, under existing circum.
stances, ilnpracticabe. This is q
matter of serious regret to the COM
mittee. believing as they do that the
esta blish1nent and successful opera
ton of the scheme would have proved
itself one of the most beneficent eX-
pedients ever devised in the practical
interests of the Eastern Shore. But,
considering the inadequate time al
lowed for the construction of the
building, the limited space accorded
our exhibit, and-above all-the
amount of expense involved, for
which no adequate provision could
be devised, there appeared to the
committee no choice but to abandon
the enterprise.
But, in view of tho interestssin-
volved. and in order that advantage
may be taken of the exceptional op-
portunity afforded by the Fair, it is
urged by the committee that i'm
mediate steps be taken by our peo-
pie for the establishment of Potato
Exchange whereby our shippers may
avail themselves of the Chicago mar
kets, and at the same time incidental
~ advertise to the World the superior
excellencies of the Eastern Shore
sweet. The plan proposed is, in
brief. the selection of a proper and
suitable agent, to be located in Chi
cago during the shipping season, to
receive and sell consignments; with
sub.agents to convenient shipping
points through both counties who
will solicit consignments proper for
the purpose. inspect all stock shipped
under the mark of the Exchange and
grade accordingly. 1t is confidently
believed that the expenses incident
to this agency could be met by COM
missions on sales in the usual way,
thereby alternating one of the most
serious obstacles which might be
urged against it.
The plan is submitted after careful
consideration by the committee, be-
lieving that little reflection upon
the details of tie scheme and the re.
suits aimed at, will necessarily recon-
mend it to the favor of our Eastern
Shore people.
For the further. consideration of
t''is proposition we respectfully sug
ee.t a mass-meeting of farmers, and
all others interested, to be held in
the hall, at Drummondtown, on next
court day, at 2 o'clock; and we further
desire to urge that delay or inaction
on the part of our people now will be
the sacrifice of the last opportunity
to turn to our practical advantage
the great occasion offered.
Respectfully,

Arrangements are being made by a
few individuals to fill up the mud
lake in front of the postofIice; not be-
fore it Is time, however, but it can
scarcely be expected of private indi-
viduals to do this, when the overseer
of the road pays no attention to snch
a bad place. Had this pond of mud
and water been situated elsewhere
on the public road it would have re-
ceived attention long ago. Every

Wednesday and lend II helping hand
toward Kidding the town of such a
disgrace.
