Considering the importance of having
 active and representative men to go from
 Montana to meet with commercial bod ies in outside points, there is probably less interest taken by our business men than there would be in the most trivial affairs of the day. The men who should take great interest in everything that would advance our interests are so tied up with thelr own affairs in the everlast- ing race for wealth are generally appoint ed by the governor or mayor. out invar- lably they remain at home and the city and state are not represented at all
 Governor Smith this week appointed delegates to represent Butte at the Inter. national Gold Mining Convention to be held at Denver on July 7, aud out of the eight gentlemen appointed, we venture the assertion that not one of them will act They are every one prominent min ing and business men, but they cannot spare the time from their own private affairs to further the interests of lhe community We believe the time has come when little more discretion should be used in selecting these representatives, and if it is found that those appointed cannot serve, others should be named In merely mentioning a few names of prominent men as sort of compliment, the governors duties do rot end. He should see that the state is represented, if not by the most prominent men then by the best he can get to fill the position The objects Of this Denver convention are worthy of little attention, even from the greatest mining camp on earth. | The meeting is called to try to secure such national legislation as may be cal 1 culated Jo promote the business intere ,rs and development of the resources of the mining lndustrs in both North anl South !
