The State School Fund Commissioner

The State School Fund Commissioners.
composed of State Superintendent Stan
ley, Attorney General Dawes and Sec
Rotary of State Edwards, held an i'm
pOrtant meeting, and in addition to
purchasing number Of bonds for the
permanent school fund adopted a resolu-
ton which has for its purpose forcing
counties and schools districts to pay de-
faulted interest and principal on school
bonds now in possession of the perma-
nent school fund. The default is i'm
counties that enjoyed county seat con-
tests. The Capital says:-A number Of
school districts in various counties of the
state have also defaulted interest on their
bonds but the annual settlements are
now being made with the State Treasurer
and it 10 expected that the majority of
them will pay up. II not, the Attorney
General will proceed under the resolution
adopted to collect interest and principal.

Can't. j. X. Basiger, of Larned, n;

Capt. J. X. Basiger, of Larned, has
recently received communication from
the president Of the Kansas real estate
association. suggesting the organization
of clubs in every county in the state, the
object of which should be to get million
people in Kansas before the close Of the
present century. The writer calls at
tentiOn to the fact that the delegation of
Kansas City business men who are now
in the New England states for the
purpose Of inducing emigration to their
city will doubtless succeed in bringing
many people westward who will not care
to stop in Kansas City, and the logical
conclusion is that Kansas ought to and
can catch large portion of them.

Infected Cattle.

The State Live Stock Sanitary Com
missioner, is receiving number Of re.
ports from western parts of the state that
many Arizona and New Mexico cattle are
soon to be shipped into this portion of
the state. 1t 10 estimated that 10000
head will soon arrive in Gray county
from Arizona and the cattle are reported
to be infected, . fact which naturally
causes alarm among the local cattle
owners, and they are appealing to the
through County Attorney j.
B. Naylor for Information as to the
treatment Of shippers who undertake to
land infected cattle in that county.
Commissioner Brown said that he doubt
cd whether the cattle were infected. He
bad been In the cattle business in Kan
sas for thirty years, and had never known
infected cattle TO come from Arizona or
from any other section reached by the
Albuquerque route, except possibly
Southern California.

arrangement for the four-year term
under the conditions that have been IN
force ever since the republic has been
in existence. From all that was said
and done IN the constitutional conven-
zion, however. II Is clear that in the
opinion of the trainers of the constitution
a president might properly be elected
over and over again. as many times as
the people pleased to prefer him.
Interesting comment on the expert
ence of the United States under our
electoral law runs through the article
in the Forum. 1t seems to us that the
prevailing sentiment In the country
finds expression in the terse sentence
which makes Professor McMaster say:
I'VE want a strong government of the
people by the people, not government
of the people by a strong man, and we
ought not to tolerate anything which
has even the semblance of heredity."
The average man is good enough, and
for him two terms are ample.

yesterdays dispatches credited him
with being the leader OF the disorder
there.
This newspaper has no use for any
disturber who is afraid that his Amer
lean citizenship is no good and who
affects to believe that the ballot has
had it's day. 1t is not our understand
ing that such a man is entitled to tell
peaceful citizens in the service of any
railroad company what they shall or
shall not do. Mr.. Debs announces that
he has faith in Goodwin's judgment
and will approve his course. That is
all very well; give Goodwin the time
and opportunity and he will bring the
A. r. U. into disrepute and public con-
tempt.
Last year there were memorable rail-
road strikes which appeared to have
merit in them, as far as many of the
railroad men in Montana were concern
ed. That there was widespread public
sympathy throughout Montana with
some of the strikers is not to be denied.
That part of the strike which represent
ed ''sympa thy with the men at Pull
man was especially disastrous to hun
dreds of worthy men lin this state. They
lost their Jobs, they could not find en-
ployment in the kind of work with
which they were familiar. they were
helpless and. in instances. their fam
Slies actually suffered. In Chicago the
railroad man who loses his place to-
day gets employment with some other
railroad company tomorrow; so great
is the service that the individual is lost
sight of. In this region it is different
scores Of railroad men in Montana who
were thrown out as the result of last
years strike found it impossible to get
work again.
There has been no uprising of late
among the men employed on the line of
any railway in Montana. Evidently,
right on the edge of the severest sea-
son in the year, a persistent effort is on
to put the Great Northern men 'on
strike. 1t is not for the Standard to
give advice to these men-they are in
telligent enough to know what they
want to do or what they do not want
ito do. But this much can be said in
presentation of what we are confident
is prevailing public opinion: If the A.
r. u. proposes to be the sponsor for a
blabber who destroys property and goes
campaigning on the proposition that 1t
is time to trade the ballot for the bay
onet, then the A. r. U. must not ask or
expect the sympathy or the respect of
intelligent citizenship in the Northwest.
