A PATRIOTIC SPEECH,

The speech made by Senator Thomas
H. Carter in the senate of the United
States on Monday, January 30, relating
to the ratification of the peace treaty,
has prompted the Helena Independent
to repeatedly vent itself of series Of
criticisms directed at certain remarks
made by Mr.. Carter. The Indepen-
dents editorial columns of recent issue
contained great deal of nothing. and
the expression, whip them to DEATH"
which Mr.. Garter had seen fit to employ
during his address, has been made the
subject of nearly full column of it's
wisdom. In justice to the people of
Montana, whom Senator Garter has the
honor to represent, the Independent
should have published his entlre speech,
which is among the ablest made by any
senator during the session. The ex-
preston employed by Senator Carter
was prompted by an interruption by
Senator Mason, inquiring against whom
the Philippine insurgents were rebelling.
Mr.. Garter replied as follows:
"As soon as the treaty is disposed of
we will inquire just who is in rebellion
and against whom they are rebelling.
And we will, in the most humane way
imaginable, conciliate the forces; or, if
they compel us, we will whip them to
death--one or the other
'Mr President, this is not said in a
spirit of braggadocio; but, I do say to
every senator present whether in favor
of the treaty or not-that the soldiers of
the United States cannot retreat from
that group Of islands. They must come
away, when they do, with banners flying,
and with the full and free and untram-
meled consent of their own government"
This is the part of Mr.. Carter's speech
which the Independent has seen fit to
select for comment, when, in fact, it's at
tempt to do SO exposes it to the ridi-
cule of others. A good Indian is dead
Indian, AMI our Indians are an enlight-
cned race compared with some Of the
tribes of the Philippines. The govern.
ment desires to aid in the civilization OF
these savages, and for those insurgents
who object to being governed by just
and liberal laws and prefer to rebe
against their benefactors. the remedy
prescribed by Senator Carter is exactly
what they need. They ought to b'
whipped to death.

THE PEACE TREATY.

In ratifying the peace treaty the
United States senate has relieved the
administration Of great burden, for
which it Is rendered the gratitude of the
president and his entire cabinet For
several weeks the interests OF the nation
have centered upon the peace treaty, and
the news of its ratification by more than
the necessary two-thirds' vote in the
United States senate was welcomed in
every state in the union. It ie true,
strong opposition had developed and the
majority by which the treaty was rati-
fed was not as large as it should have
been, but this fact does by no means in
dicate lack of patriotism among the
S0,OOO,OOO people who inhabit the United
States. However small the majority, it
was sufficient, and the treaty Is ratified;
the right Of possession to the Philippines
has passed to the United States, and the
rebellion in those islands will soon be
over. 1t was the sincere hope of our
enemies that the treaty would fail to re-
celve the required vote in the senate.
and the battle at Manila last Sunday
was no doubt he result of the encour-
agement which the insurgent leaders
had received from traitors to the Ameri-
can flag residing in the United States
and enjoying it's protection. All honor
is due to Senators Carter and Mantle
for their earnest support of the treaty,
and their actions are approved by every
citizen OF Montana who has spark of
patriotism in his makeup, irrespective
Of party affiliations.

FEBRUARY HOLIDAYS.

Four notable national events will be
observed by the citizens of the United
States during the present month. The
first is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln,
which falls on the 18th; the second is
"Maine Day." on the 18th: the third,
the anniversary of Stephen Decatur's
daring deed in the port of Tripoli, and
the fourth, the birthday Of the Father of
Our Country-George Washington. The
birthday Of the immortal Lincoln should
be observed and commemorated in fit-
ting manner, and no doubt the time will
arrive when it will be observed as ma
tional holiday. The awful fate which
befell the United States battleship
Maine and her gallant sailors on the 10Th
of February, just one year ago, is still
fresh in the minds of every resident of
the United States. The government has
set aside this day in commemoration of
the death of our brave sailors, to be
known as MAINE Day" in future his
tory, and the suggestion that the Ameri-
can flag be placed at half mast OF the
day of the first anniversary of the de-
struction of the Maine is commend
able one. Nlnety-five years ago on the
10th of February, Stephen Decatur per-
formed what Admiral Nelson at the time
characterized as the most daring act of
the age, and the memory of that gallant
naval hero should be kept fresh in the
minds of every true American. The Gel
ebration of Washington's Birthday is
generally observed throughout the land,
and as national holiday Is equal to the
Foulth of July.

Manila, and the next time the lnsur
gents attack our soldiers in the Philip.
pines they had better choose Friday, SO
as to have it known in their future his
tory as "Black Eriday'-the result of a
conflict being q foregone conclusion. AS
bushwhacker Aguinaldo might do,
but it is poor general who will send a
horde Of savages, armed with bows and
arrows, against modern battery of ar
tillery. The Philippine insurgents will
realize that they are not fghtlns Span
iards this time, and the sooner they
submit and lay down their arms the bet
ter it will be for them. The city Of
Iloilo is expected to fall as soon as the
American warships arrive there, and the
rebellion against the United States will
soon be squelched
The small number Of American dead
and wounded compared with the enor-
nous loss Of the insurgents should con.
vince Aguinaldo that his best course to
pursue is to advise his followers to lay
down their arms and take up other pur-
suits that will develop their country and
in which the United States are willing
to assist them. Their mode of warfare
is much inferior to that of the American
Indian, and if this country so desired
our forces could slaughter them like
sheep. The attack upon our forces was
no doubt prompted by the encourage
ment the insurgents had received from
enemies Of this country, and the result
should serve as lesson for which the
paid high price. Our sol.
diers in the Philippines are all heroes,
and their friends at home are eagerly
awaiting additional news of victories
ON across the Pacific, which another
Sunday may bring.

RE-DISTRICTIN THE CITY.

Considerable discussion is being in
dulged in on the subject of re-districting
the city The petition presented at the
meeting of the city council last Monday
evening outlines plan which appears to
be far and which would dividt the vot-
ing strength of the city as nearly equal
as i IN be done. Some objections are
raa9 by residents of the other wards on
The ground that the heaviest taxpayers
reside in the first two wards, and while
they admit that the population of the
third ward is more than twice as large
as that of the other two wards com
bired, they say that the taxpayer should
be the one to control the city govern
ment. We understand that the third
ward residents do not arbitrarily insist
that the city be re districted on the
lines as llrpposed IN the petition, but are
willing to entertain any other fair propo-
sition which will divide the city on a
more equitable basis Fair play in the
matter is III that is asked, and there is
no question but what the board of al
dermen will grant the request.
The registration of year ago shows
the first ward had 81; second ward, Al;
third ward, 1913. This makes A more
votes in the third ward than in the first
and second combined. Under the pres
ent arrangement the 81 votes of the first
and second wards are represented by
four aldermen and the 128 votes of the
third ward are represented by two alder
men. 1t resolves itself into a matter of
Justice to all concerned that the present
arrangement should be changed no
matter upon what lines tie city is re-
districted. The 81 voters of the first and
second wards, for the sake of simple JUS
tice-which it is evident is only what
the third ward desires cannot object to
establishing the boundaries of the
several wards on a fairer and more
equitable basis. Our constitution and
the law provide that every citizen shall
enjoy equal rights and privileges, and
the alderman who would deny this right
and privilege to his fellow citizen exposes
himself to more than mere public criti-
ricno

The advisability of re-opehing the
India mints is again being seriously con-
sidered by the Indian currency commits
sion. Experts on finance have been
examined and all recommend that silver
be rehabilitated as the standard of the
Indian currency. Twenty-Five and one
half to one has been suggested as the
most sui able ratio, and the cooperation
of the United Safes and China is
deemed necessary. The ratio of 2215 to
one would bring the price of silver to
about 80 cents, which would no doubt
be desirable improvement over the
present market value, and silver mining
would be greatly revived should the sill
yer standard be adopted in India. At
the ratio of 22la to one the American
silver dollar would make nice, fat
pocket piece; but the people would ex-
perience no great difficulty in slowing
away the cart-wheels.

House bill No. is q worthy measure
and should become law. 1t provides
that co-owner can work claim in
which others are interested, extract,
mill and dispose of the ore from the
common property, paying the expenses
out of the net returns; he being sub
ject to an accounting to his non-j joining
co-owners for the net profits of such un-
dertaklng, if any are made. All liens
for labor and material shall attach only
to the undivided interest of the working
co-owner. AS the law now stands, any
co-owner can prevent his partners from
working claim indefinitely, which is
manifestly unjust. The bill is good
one and will doubtless be passed.

The Mantle bill, appropriating $780,
900 for public building in Butte,
passed the lower house of congress last
Tuesday. During the previous session
Senator Mantle introduced this measure
as an amendment to the sundry
civil bill and was successful in hav-
ing it passed in the senate. When the
matter came up in the house Congress
man G. S. Hartman sailed into it and
made vigorous speech, which was no
doubt intended in support of the meas
ure; but the effect of his efforts was to
the contrary, and the bill met with de-
feat. The measure was brought up
again during the present session, and Its
passage is perhaps accounted for by the
supposition that Mr.. Hartman had been
prevailed upon to keep silent this time.
Congressman Mercer, of Nebraska, chair
man of the public buildings committee
IN the house, with whom Senator Man
tie was in constant communication, took
the bill in charge and was instrumental
in lis passage.
