Not the Politicians.

Ays the Butte Inter Mountain:
Evidently the democrats intend
" to make an effort to impeach
State Superintendent Carleton when the
state legislative assembly meets Ref
erences TO C~arleton-all of them Sc
verely uncomplimentary-fall constantly
under the eye of the reader of the Mon
TAM press; the words we have quoted
from the Inter Mountain include the
first mention we ave seen of politics in
connection with the affair.
Whatever the future may bring forth,
there has been. in the past. no sugges-
ton of politics in the dealings with
Carleton. People and newspapers rep
resentative of al sorts and conditions OF
politics were of one mind as soon as
Cartoons offense was brought to pub
lie attention by the Standard. There
was a demand that steps be taken. This
demand was met by Cartoons own
action. He requested an investigation.
He got IT.. without delay, and the in
v~estigation, conducted by the state
board of education, went against him.
But, saying nothing about politics,
the final vote taken at the conclusion OF
the Carleton investigation is one of the
most remarkable things we know of.
The eight members of the board were a
unit. on ballot. respecting all of he s-
sential charges hat had been brought
against Cartoons conduct; they found
that the things he said were not r
were. to all intents and purposes, true.
The the board put to itself a final ques-
tion-one respecting which. so far as
we are aware, no newspaper had said a
word. That question was whether
Cartoons purpose was to appropriate
to his own use the money in question.
On this point men widely known in
Montana in business and in professional
life as well as in politics. pronounced
openly and without hesitation against
~Carleton-men like Mr.. Goddard. of Bill
ings. Mr.. Chisholm. of Bozeman, Mr..
Melton. of Dillon, and Governor Smith.
Singularly enough. the vote TO shelter
Carleton. for one reason or another
and. in instances. for mighty poor rea-
sons-came right from school men:
from a school principal In Butte. from a
school superintendent in Helena, and
so through the list.
And that is a pretty strange thing; II
leaves the case in such shape that, If
there was failure on the part of any
man TO do his duty. it was not a failure
on the part of those in the state board
who are known as men having more oil
less TO do with politics. The Standard
had not. until the Inter Mountains

have his men drawn up in companies,
in which formation il would take them
but a few moments to get their cofee,
sandwiches and fruit. Gruffiy he SAID
that it would suit him better to have his
men go aboard. With that he turned
away, but the messenger from the cross
of humanity and neutrality, not to be
daunted, followed him up, and at last
he said that the men could be fed on
board, an insistence which made the
work doubly hard. But there the men
still stood on the wharf, and. finally one
captain came up to the ladies n asked
if they would not look after his men,
as they were starving. 1t was then IL
o'clock, and they had a their camp
breakfast at 5 o'clock. Mrs. Lowenberg
was at first adverse to allowing any
liberties with Kessler's orders. as one
of the first rules of the Red Cross con-
stitution is hat they never Interfere
with military discipline, but always
stand ready to help. 1t finally happened
somehow that many of the men were
fed on the wharf. Lunches were sent
aboard to the others.
Some one in authority, but not wish
ing 10 interfere with Colonel Kessler,
managed to suggest the improperly OF
his course, and it was remarked by
someone else later that Colonel kess-
Ter owed ar apology to the Red Cross
ladies. He f~acetiously remarked tina
he would put it in writing, and made
some sort of an attempt to laugh the
matter Of.
1t also happened that some of those
assigned to the work received some
pretty severe handling when the police
carried out orders by a liberal use OF
their clubs. One of the most prominent
and indefatigable of Red Cross work
ers, the wife of a well-known San Fran
ciscan, was struck by a club, and al
though not injured, was exceedingly
annoyed. Others were jostled and com
pletely crowded out. When all the ladies
returned to the headquarters, between
and 5 o'clock. they agreed that they
would never again want to go through
such an experience. but concluded tina
as long as the men were fed they hat
no complaint whatever to make.

THE PROFESSIONAL CALAMITY
HOWLER.

General Spaulding is one Of the
strong men of the Michigan delega-
ton. He is an effective stump speak
err, and little group at the capitol
enjoyed some Of his stories one rainy
day recently.
I have good democratic friend up
in my district, the General went on,
who delighted to twit me after Presi-
dent McKinley's election on the fact
that the country still suffered from
hard times. I saw him about in
auguration time, and he scoffed at the
idea that the condition of the country
was any better than 1T had been a
year before. He declared there were
more sheriff's sales and more failures,
and that the country was going to
the dogs faster than at any time
under the Cleveland administration.
He delighted to picture calamity, and
at that time did not have so much
data to refute his talk.
However, met him again in July
and said to him; Well, are you still
preaching calamity?
He kept quiet for minute. What
did you get for your wheat? asked.
He slowly admitted that he sold it
for 80 cents. Are not cattle, pork,
and horses worth more than they
we're this time last year? I asked.
Yes.
And wool is going to be a profitable
venture from now on?
He admitted that it might be true.
You have fairly good corn crop,
have you not? persisted.
Yes.
Well, what sort Of complaint have
you to offer now? said I in conclu-
sion.
He whitfield at stick for moment
or two and then said: 'sThat is all
right, General, but I tell you these big
crops are powerfully hard on the
ground.o
