q ,HEN II comes to the gathering

that. for the chief justiceship, Judge
Pemberton has a good majority.
Republicans In the next legislature Of
Montana will be few and far between.
Those who are acquainted pretty well
with the citizenship of Montana will,
the Standard feels sure, share the SEN
timent that the makeup OF the next
legislature promises a very much bet
ter average of men than has been the
case In recent years. Respecting this
legislatures work. the democrats will
have sole responsibility; the list Of the
elected warrants the prediction tha
this responsibility will be faithfully
met and discharged. In the same way,
the preponderance Of democrats In the
county governments will be great.
Democracy is at the helm in Mon
tana. Wisely. as we now believe, this
states democratic party. when its state
convention was held. made UP its mind
to come out and be separate, to re-
nounce alliances that served no better
purpose. apparently. than to put too
large a proportion Of unworthy men in
the state n local Offices. Democracy
has prevailed practically throughout
the state. For the cause of silver as
well as in the interest Of local govern
ment. this supremacy can be main
tained by fidelity In service. and that

cratic party in Montana. confidently

IT Is within the possibilities that the
Philippine blum n by the Ameri-

to the possession OF the United States.

recent campaign neither the newspaper

The fact remains that Hartman was

ner. That Mr.. Campbell will represent
Montana faithfully and well. the Stand
ard does not doubt. He has splendid OPP
portunities-his send-off is the very
best. That Is 10 say. he was. as a can
didate. the product Of a state
ton which. after fusion failed. turned
20 his az with a sort of common con-
sent. He was the leader of his party
in as lively a campaign as Montana
ever saw. He was elected with a very
handsome margin.
II Hartman had been. in name, a
democrat as. in action. he really is. he
surely would have been elected to sue

the reader will remember. one of the
most earnest advocates OF fusion with
the silver republicans for this years
state campaign and. had fusion pre-
vailed. Hartman's nomination for con-
gress would have been quite probable.
But fusion failed. Hartman vas not a

II the expression Of a hope that Camp
bells Influence. when exerted In behalf
of what Is best for Montana. may be as
widely felt as Hartman's was" IL that
proves to be the result. Campbell will
DO admirably well.

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg.
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are "not
quite well" or "half sick" have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be
the cause of your sickness?
It is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for. twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an un.
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, p:in or
dull ache in the back is also convincing
proof that the kidneys aud bladder
are ont Of order.
