ings of professional men, and the gen.
erous profits of the merchants. Make
allowance for this high rate of day
wages, and still it is true that local
| government is too costly in Butte. If
we are not right in saying that it is
too costly by fifty per cent, it is never
theless far too costly.
So much in the first place. In the
second place, Butte spends thousands
of dollars every year for which, how
ever honest the intention of those who
vote the appropriation, the tax-paying
public never gets a value-received re-
turn; and this money-losing process
bids fair 10 be perpetuated. For this
mornings purposes take q single
illustration. Under provision
of law, Butte's custom has been,
by appointment, to change the police
marshal with each new city admins
tration. Bad as that arrangement is,
the new codes scheme is immeasur-
ably worse-it provides for the choice
of police marshal at the polls, at
every charter election. This arrange
ment is worse because it makes even
more intimate than is now the rule
the relations which ward politics sus-
tain to police administration.
Under tie codes provisions, it may
be set down as an indisputable fact
that the city of Butte will not get
fifty cents on the dollar for the money
the city invests in police service. 1t
is as much of trick to be COM
petent police marshal, with years of
training IN patrol and in detective SER
vice, as it is TO be a competent super
intendent of a mine Suppose mine
superintendent changed with every
spring election.
There isn't a good, all-around CON-
petent police force in Montana to-day.
There never will be as long as the
force is made a factor in spring poll
tics. The new code makes the last
state of the case worse than the first.
What we started in to say this morn
ing was this-that if less attention
were paid to the partisan part of local
elections soon TO come, and more at
tentlon were paid to the removal of
the hindrances that make competent |
administration impossible, Butte |
would be the gamer whatever the poll |
tics of the man who happens to be |
mayor. And what is true of Butte is |
true of all the cities in Montana. Lo- |
cal government costs too much very |
much too much. We have only to |
draw on the experience of cities in
older states; that will teach us that we
can have better local administration
at much less expense

Origin of "Cold Waves"

1t is frequently asked, where do cold
waves originate? The coolest portion of
tho North American continent is, in all
probability, in the Saskatchewan valley.

that extreme cold always prevails here.
because Mt certain intervals the vapor
from the Pacific flows east by way of the
Alaskan peninsula, through the upper
valley of the Athabasca river into Alberta
and tho valley of the Saskatchewan, and

tude, where the great evaporation of those

Will They BE Forced?

The three deadlocked legislatures
Delaware, Idaho and Oregon-enter
the last week but one of their sess ions
with no change in the senatorial con-
tests which are being so stubboRnly
fought. In Delaware, Senator Iig-
gins is apparently unable to break the
Addicks forces and in Oregon, the
combined influence of the Northern
Pacific and the gold clique cannot
shake the determination of the friends
of silver to have the Northwest prop
erly represented at Washington. In
Idaho the thirty-seven republican
votes are almost evenly divided be-
tween Sweet and Shoup
In the meantime, the republican
caucus of the national senate is ar
ranging to send out some of its most
influential members to the deadlocked
majorities of these three states. The
idea is, as we understand it, to impress
these provincial politicians by the
greatness of the delegations from
Washington sufficiently TO force them
to unite upon some one who may be
elected. 1t remains to be seen what
sort of a reception these pompous poll
ticians will receive but it is safe TO
predict that they will be told to return
to Washington and attend to their own
business

Elections Soon TO Come.

From the comment of some of our
contemporaries, we conclude that a
good many people in Butte are max
ing their calculations with the spring
election in view.
Our opinion is that it doesn't make
mighty difference which way the
election goes in Butte; in their time
the two great political parties have
made their stagger at the local admin
isiration, and the immense annual
cost of running the city government
there is in evidence that neither party
ever yet sent TO the front a Butte
mayor who managed 10 make his ad-
ministration shining success.

Knippenberg resigns; but the republic
still lives.
In spite of Knippenberg's with
drawal it is our opinion that the re-
public, in general, and the state of
Montana, in particular, will continue
business at the old stand and bear the
loss of Knippenberg with Christian
fortitude.
Knippenberg. Good Lord, what a
name for a foreign-born proposition
that comes out here to Montana to tell
those of us who can trace our ancestry
to Plymouth Rock that we don't know
how to take care of the stars and
stripesl
This man Knippenberg is the per-
son who swore that his election didn't
cost him a cent. lie made affidavit to
this assertion, and, after that, he paid.
lie was dramatic about the star
spangled banner, but, just the same,
he is a liar as to his campaign expenses.
He put up; not generously, because
nobody fancies for an instant that he
would Yet he paid, and he sent his
money to the county committee after
lie had paraded his pretentious afli-
davit lie swore that he paid moth
ing, and, after that, he put his money
up.
Knippenberg's loss to the legis-
lature is the states essential gain.
If other American-1ag, foreign
born political dead beats are in the
legislature, in the name of God let
their designations be handed lni They
are nuisance, and, like Knippenberg.
the states governing body is well rid
of them.
This great country of ours is all right
as long as its control is in the hands of
fair-and-square men who really wish
the republic well; but the nation is in
peril when fools and knaves like Knip-
penberg come to the front. He pro-
poses, in superior quality to his
neighbors, to be for the stars and
stripes at every crossroads, yet, when
1t comes to what men regard as legiti-
mate campaign expenses, he swore
that he paid nothing; and, after that,
he paid.
Montana's legislature is we'll rid of
Knippenberg, and of every man of his
ilk. The state has relief in his resig- |
nation. Our opinion is that this for
eign-born pretender ought TO bring a
suit for libel against the STANDARD
and find out by legal process where
the damages are. Our charge is that
the Knippenberg affidavit respecting
campaign expenses is essentially lie
If Knippenberg wins in court, he is
all right If he loses, he is political
scrub. That is what we think he is.

One feature of the very general cele-

prominent speaker, regardless of
politics, took occasion to contrast the
pure patriotism of the martyred presi-

that is being preached to-day through
out the country, by men who attempt
to make their bigotry and prejudice
acceptable by seeking to cover it with
the American flag. The contrast was

The custom of photographing legis-
latures is old-old as is photography.
As long as men alone have composed
the legislatures it has been gladly fol-
lowed. 1t was always considered the
proper thing and the legislators have
accepted the photographing process as
one of the duties of their high Office.
But now woman arises and rebukes
these men. She says that they are
vain. That the taking of legislative
photographs is a self-glorying fad and
should not be continued
This woman is Hon. Mrs Frances
Klock, member of the present Colo
RADIO legislature. She gives no reason
for refusing to have her picture taken.
She isn't bad looking, so the papers
say. Even If she were, a photograph
hides defects, such as false teeth and
artificial hair. They look natural in a
picture. But this is not Mrs Klock's
objection. She simply says that she

SOME of the sub-inspectors are
inclined to take exception to what
they call the constant criticism"
of their work. In fact there are
those who go so far as to see some
political phase in the request Of
Of Capt. McStocker to report any
member Of the sanitary corps who
may not be doing his full duty.
Such suggestions are as far from
being correct as it is possible for a
supposition to be. The excellent
work that is being done by the vol
unteer inspectors has gained for
these men the apPreciative good
will of the entire community. The
people realize that many are tax
ing time from their business and
are laboring with no more tangible
reward in view than that they are
protecting their fellowmen from
danger. Yet the fact remains that
there have been sub-inspectors who
have not kept quite up to the mark
set by their written regulations.
Fortunately there are not many,
perhaps not more than one or two,
but it is the one or two that may
set to naught all the benefit de-
rived from the careful work of all
the others in the corps. As to the
politics of these men we know
nothing or care nothing, and ten
hundred out of every thousand
souls in the city are of the same
opinion. The inspectors who are
following their instructions TO the
letter need take no offense; they
are the right men in the right |
place, and they may depend upon
it that there will be no attempt to |
pick flaws In their work.

DAY OF ELECTRICITY AND STEAM.

A most significant industrial al
lance showing the increased re-
spect with which railroad compa-
MES are coming to regard the adj
vance of electricity as a motive
power, is the recent consolidation
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works
of Philadelphia and the Westing-
house Electrical Company of Pitts
burg. Both of these corporations
are among the largest in their re-
spective lines and have money and
ability galore at their command.
While this combination of forces
does not necessarily portend an
immediate revolution in the meth
DDS of locomotion and replacing
steam by electricity on the large
railway systems, it indicates that
electricity has become such a power
that railway magDates realize that
q friendly alliance will result more
favorably than an out and out an
tagonism. The success of suburb.
an electric railway lines in the
vicinity of nearly every large city
IN the United States has demon
strated that for local traffic cleo
tricity is competitor of no mean
proportion. Furthermore the cleo
trio roads are being extended from
town to town, through rural dis
tricts until the steam railway ia
paralIeled for miles by a system
which is practically running its
trains with but few minutes in
tervening at a much smaller pro-
portiona expense.
The prospect of electricity being
used on the long hauls of the trunk
lines seems far distant at present.
The parties to the combination
state that they are not influenced
Immediately by any such outlook
but are simply paving the way to
meet competition by absorbing it |
and making ready TO reap what |
benefits may accrue from the devel- |
opment of the new agent in its
broadcast sphere.
