Our revolution transplanted the arts for

mechanics the steamboat and telegraph,

THE FOUNDER.

The rounder is glad that be is a
rounder. lie would not trade Jobs
with any politician in the county.
Not even district judge. The
Judges position might be all right
while he is on the bench, but he is
out of luck as soon as defeated for
q second term. He must sit UP on
the bench and look wise. No diff
ference whether he is or not. And
then again a judge must, in the
course of time, be reelected or step
down and out. Getting elected is
sometimes very expensive. Yet
that is not half as bad as blowing
in a thousand or two for the posi-
tiop and getting left. Then, when
he is defeated, all his prestage is
gone. Those who have bowed low
before him, suddenly appear to
have grown large-sized boils on the
back of their necks. With sadness
he closes the last term of court; his
carpet-bag is packed, a team is
hired to take him to the railroad
the train leaves a half hour before
be arrives at the station; he gets
out and walks or takes the hand
car route to the near by large city;
the world has gone wrong with him.
But with the rounder it's different.

While In Choteau recently an
Acantha representative learned
that an effort was to be made in
the early future to have removed
from office, Postmaster Burd. of
that city, and that u or two re.
publicans, and several alleged
republicans were after his position.
While 1t is not particularly any of
u business who serves the people
of the county seat in that capacity
we cant see for the life of US what
pressure one of the aspirants can
bring to bear on the administers
ton to give him the desired ap-
pointment. During the recent
election he could not, 'because be
was in business, express his pre-
ference for judge or sheriff." He
did not fail, however, on the day
of election, to make his cross IN
front of the independent candidates
names, and on the quiet cleo,
tioneered his friends against the
regular republican nominees for
those positions. 1t certainly re-
quires an unlimited amount of gall
for such a person to ask the repub-
lican party to reward, with an
honorable and responsible position,
his efforts to disrupt that same
organization. The Acantha does
not for a moment question the
ability of the gentleman to fill the
position creditably, but in the
county seat there were men in
business who were openly and
above board supporting the repub>
lican ticket. There can be no
question as to where they stood
and how their votes were cast.
One of them, and perhaps the best
worker in the lot, was Clarence
Drake, and while we do not know
that he is a candidate, we certainly
think his wishes should be consulted
il the matter, and if he decides
that he would like to have the plum,
it should be given to him in pre-
ference to the supporters of boiling
candidates. The republican party
in this section needs a thorough
clea ing out, and the sooner we are
ria of those persons who are always
looking for a chance to defeat the
regular ticket, the better it will oe
for all concerned. The gentleman
to whom we refer ia the above item
as having supported the indepen-
dent candidates in the recent cleo
ton, and who is now seeking to be
appointed post master in Choteau
is Mr.. Byron Corson. His petit
tions are out and are being largely
signed blythe citizens of that place.
The leaders of the republican party,
however, al not afford to give him
any recognition. Down with the
supporters of boilers.

SIR-Will you if your courtesy

nation was originally the Island
of the Blessed, but having in the
course of his passage across the
Styx performed the "Ananias"
act with sufficient ability to en-
title him to admission to Hades,
he was landed there. From that
place it seems he wrote you, Sir,
and through your columns en-
lightened your town of its future
and brilliant destiny. This is sad
enough in allconscience, but now
one of your correspondents un-
der the name of"A Voice from

Island Pond and bring some of
the indigenous product of Hades
with him. The obvious inference
is that ~ the fire of that region
