CANDIDATES FOR REFORM
Complaints Made Against Two
Incorrigible Youths.
THEY STAY OUT ALL NIGHT
Their Parents Are Unable to Control
Their Actions and 1t Is Proposed
to Give Them a Trip to
Miles City.

Two more incorrigible youths have
been complained against by their pa
rents and the county attorney has been
asked to talk them in hand and they
will probably be sent To the reform
school. One is A. Il. Breslin, IL years
of age. and the other William Mitchell.
aged Is. Breslin ran away from home
and was arrested and Jailed in Ana
conda a few days ago. and Mitchell was
yesterday morning locked up in the
county Jail on complaint of his father,
who lives IN Walkerville. Young Bres-
Inns mother and sister called on the
attorney yesterday n asked him to
have the boy brought back from Ana
conda and frightened into being good.
Deputy County Attorney Stivers tele-
phoned TO the sheriff at Anaconda to
make inquiries about the lad, and was
informed that some unknown nan who
claimed to be a relative of his had called
at the Jail AMI taken the boy away.
The sheriff said he had questioned
Breslin. who had been a newsboy in
Butte. and the latter told hin he ran
away from home because his father beat
him for not selling more papers. and
that he would not go home again. Mrs.
Breslin told the county attorney h a

a pure fabrication. as the only whipping
he ever got was for remaining out until
after midnight contrary to his pa
rents orders. The mother did not want
/. TO make a formal complaint Of incor-
!, rigibility against the boy until he had
: been given another nance 10 be good.
The sheriff at Anaconda was instructed
70 find the boy and send him back to
Butte.
The Mitchell boy was arrested on a
complaint made by his father. Martin
Mitchell. i'm the court of Simon Murray,
a justice of the peace of Walkerville.
The complaint. which was drawn 10y
Mr.. Murray. recited the fact that the
defendant refused to obey the request
: of his father to go to school" and that
he will not obey the orders OF his
father in any manner, but persists In
following the bent of his W inclina'
tons. and utterly repudiates the pa
rental control and restraint of his faith

The world has been waiting so long for war to break loose among European powers that it would almost be relief if it were to do so. Those who are count ing on any lack of backbone in the Eng fish government are, however, counting wrongly. England's best interests will always be served by peace, since she is a manufacturing and commercial na- tion. But if war Is forced upon her there will be fighting till those who be- gan it will get enough of it. A Briton is like his own bulldog. In case of war the navy of England alone is equal to that of any two others in Europe. Italy has declared that her commercial inter- ests are the same as those of England ill the far east and Italy would cast her sea power, formidable one, with Great Britain in all probability. Japan cer- tainly would do so The fighting sea power of the three nations combined would be a match for all that France, Germany and Russia could do, even if France agreed to take sides with her enemy, Germany.

Hon. s. c. Martin.

By reference to the proper column the announcement of MT. Smith c. Martin as candidate for renomina- tion and reelection as Prosecuting Attorney of the Eleventh Judicial District will be found therein. MT, Martin is well and fayorably known to the people of this judicial district in that capacity. For nearly six years he has been the prosecuting attorney and has made a most capa- ble and efficient officer. He has been energetic and industrious in the discharge of bis duties and has made the people most vigorous prosecutor of malefactors. Mr. Martin, by reason Of his study and long experience, is a well equipped criminal lawyer, and in the light of his past experience, it is but natur- al and reasonable to conclude that he is all the better qualified for the discharge of the duties of the office to which he again aspires.
 His earnest efforts in the past in dlcate what may be expected of him in the future, and should he be re- nominated and reelected, he will no doubt bring to the discharge of his duties the same energy, faithfulness ard determination that have char. acterized his past official career. His candidacy is therefore deserving of the consideration Of his fellow citizens.

TIE members of the County Dem ocratic Central Committee are aux- ious to hear suggestions from Dem- oerats relative to the procedure for selecting State aud county nomi- nees this year. It is claimed that if the State and county candidates are voted for at the same time that the ticket will be too long, and if they are voted on separately and on different days that only small vote may be boiled for State candidates. Under the new rule adopted by the State Central Committee for the se- lection of State candidates, our lo- cal politicians fear that that inter- est which has heretofore character. ized county and State conventions may be lacking, and that it may be difficult to get delegates to attend the aforesaid conventions. In view of these new innovations the mem bers of the County Central Commit tee are at sea as to what course to pursue, and the GRAPHIC has been requested to invite suggestions along these lines before the conyen- ing of the committee in this city on the 17th.

Hon. John M. Elliott.

Judge John M. Elliott is announc- ed in today's issue as a candidate for re-nomination and reelection as Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Dis trict, composed of the counties of Jefferson, Lincoln and Desha. It is needless to say that his candidacy is subject to the action of the Demo cratic party, whether by conven- ton orprimaries.
 Judge Elliott is known throughout the district, and needs no introdue- tion at our hands. Prior to his ele- vation to the bench he was prose. cutting attorney for several terms and is now serving his third success sive term on the bench. He is very popular with the people of the dis trict, this popularity being attested by the fact that he has never been defeated for any office to which he has aspired.
 As circuit judge, Judge Elliott has been bold and fearless in the discharge of his official duties, prompt in rendering his decisions from the bench, and vigorous and firm in the enforcement of the law. The business of the court, under his rule, has been dispatched with ex- petition, and during the past few years he has devoted himself with energy to reducing circuit court ex- Penses.
 Judge Erio,t's past course is an earnest of what may be expected of him in the future, and should he be renominated and reelected, he will no doubt serve the people of the dis trict as aeeeptably in the future as in the past.

 Maj. Davis is a gentleman of the "old school;" upright and honorable in his every transaction, and if elected will discharge the duties of the office with credit to himself and satisfaction to the tax payers.

van.on ou inc North Pole.


 Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, writing in Mo Clure's Magazine, sums up the oonolu- sions to which his winters in the arctic regions led him in reference to the prao- ticability of reaching the north pole. Nansen thinks it can be done. The ex- plorations of recent years go to d1spel the idea that there is any arctic oontl- nent or, indeed, any considerable body of land that has not yet been mapped out. Nansen thinks the entire cireum- polar tract is an ice covered sea. Thls sea is full of drifting ice foe.
 He believes it will be possible to reach the pole itself in two ways. We may modestly remark that both these project ed routes are by way of the western hemisphere. There is steady, com paratively warm ocean current flowing northeasterly from the Asiatic shores up through Boring strait and on around the north pole. There is reason to believe this current continues onward in it's easterly drift till it reaches the pole itself. Then it is dehected and turns southward around the eastern coast of Greenland. Now, powerfully built vessel like the Tram could, ill Nansen's judgment, steam up through Boring strait, get into the drift of this ice foe current and be drawn with 1t ., o,4 .4.o,,5 ,,,J oog4xt,or1 AO 4ba Ta0ln thence being carried with the current down around the east coast of Green land. Somewhere between Greenland and Norway the explorers would strike once more the line of ordinary ocean travel and of civilization. This voyage of drifting would take about five years, Nansen thinks. Still, it would not be very unpleasant. Nansen and Johansen spent three winters in polar parts. From my experience 1 must say ] found the arctic region very healthy i place of resort, writes Nansen. Plenty of supplies could be taken and the trip would not be dull one. One would say not It may be added that Nansen does not consider such a voyage more dangerous than many other undertak- ings.
 The second plan for reaching the pole is by means of dog sleds, start ing from the north coast of Green land, as Peary proposes to do Dog sleds can travel over the icefelds very we'll and make long distances. It ap. pears, however, that the explorers heart is more with the boat trip than with the dog sled journey. The vessel would be propelled by what Nansen po- etically calls the eternal circulation of the ocean.
 An interesting fact in connection with the arctic region is that the water of the polar sea is on the surface very cold, but at depth of 100 fathoms it is considerably warmer.
