ORE than once WITHIN ten DAYS,
M the Helena Independent has
taken occasion to remark upon
the persistence with which the Stand
ard maintains that w. A. Clark is
guilty of bribery even while the ques-
ton at issue is under investigation by
a grand jury" The Independent OBJ
jects.
AS soon as the Clark forces recovered
from their first fright, Mr.. Clark's own
Butte Miner raised the howl that the
1000 laid before the two houses at
Helena is Marcus Days money, and
that howl, as clumsy subterfuge, has
been kept up. Has the Helena hide
pendent objected to this cowardly
charge in which Clark organs have per-
sisted, 'even while the question at issue
is under investigation by a grand
jury?" 1t has not.
What is the difference in these two
cases? 1t is this: the Standard charges
bribery upon w. A. Clark on the sworn
testimony of members of the legisla-
ture, some of whom, at least, the Clark
organs haven't dared to assail. The
sworn testimony of these men, as the
result of an investigation ordered by the
legislature, was presented by six re-
putable and unchallenged members, to
he turo ;S &c }ha
states property to-day; it belongs to
the people of Montana. 1t is public
most of all, it stands uncontradicted.
and, unquestionably, it is true; we be-
lleve that the Helena Independent be-
lieves it to be true
What of the dastardly and dishonest
charge made by the Clark organ-the
one in Butte we mean? What is it
founded on? Was the like of it alleged
when the legislative investigation was
pending? Are there sworn statements
in the papers laid before the legislature,
in proof of the knavish insinuation that
the 100000 is Mr.. Daly's money? Has
the Independent been able to trace to
that gentleman, or to any other man,
except Clark, one cent of money used
with members at Helena for senatorial
bribery? Has the Independent since the
exposure of Clark bribery exhorted it's
Helena townspeople to abhor bribery
and declare for the punishment of the
briber?
Will the Helena Independent say that
1t has not sought to popularize the can
didacy Of w. A. Clark with the people
of Helena, "even while the question of
bribery on his part is under investiga-
tion by grand jury?" Is the Helena
Independent in position that gives it
license in presuming to call the Stand
ard to account, wherein this newspaper
has printed facts sustained by the tes-
timony of gentlemen whose good name
the Independent cannot possibly break
down?

ESS than three years ago, John
M. Palmer was riding about the
country in a Pullman car in
fact, he had a whole train of Pullman
coaches. Mark Hanna paid for the
train; Palmer was a candidate for the
office of president of the United States.
He was put up by faction composed
of men who called themselves gold
democrats.
2 The men of. prominence who fought
Bryan in the Chicago convention went
squarely over to Mckinley. But the
small fry had to be cared for and
Hanna did this by putting Palmer in
the field and in a parlor car Election
day made Palmer appear ridiculous.

~ 1RST OF all, 1t becomes the duty
of the expansionists to tell the
country what they mean by the
word Expansion" The recent clash
ing testimony of those who say that
they are for expanding leaves the coun-
try in doubt as to what these men
really are in favor of. The out-and-out
Wideners have been saying that We
must expand by annexing the Philip
pine islands to the United States. A
weeks debate in congress shows that
these anneXationists are not orthodox
eXpanionsts, if the right test is the
policy the administration proposes to
adopt.
The annexationists have been teach
ing us that their scheme is the one
that President Mckinley will push
Senator Foraker upsets this assertion;
he declares that the president is not for
annexing the islands, and Senator
Gray, who was a member of the peace
commission, bears the same testimony
as Foraker respecting the presidents
attitude.
The result is that the public has vet
to learn what these oriental-empire
boosters really mean when they advo-

he can be counted on to stand by fer
any consecutive thirty days. What is

When Silence Is Golden.


" Clark, they get through that
uncanny process with the
least embarrassment who simply switch
and say no more about 1t. That is the
smoothest course for the man who is a
late recruit for a senatorial candidate
who stands under public accusation of
wholesale bribery and under charges
which a grand jury is investigating.
Some of the switchers, however, feel
thing when they cast for Clark a vote
which naturally awakens suspicion.
Without exception, those who try to say
this something make a botch job of it.
Mr. Walsh, for instance, confessedly
put his foot in it when he voted for
Clark and then asked the audience to
examine closely and see whether any
body could detect the blush of shame
on his face. That was evidently we'll
rehearsed bluff, but it's only effect was
to raise as significant a laugh on the
floor and in the galleries as has been
but really, it cannot rank with EN-
NETS Defense for oratorical effect
Last Friday, when he switched, Glib
son of Madison read a little piece
which he foolishly thought essential as
an accompaniment to his vote for
Clark 1t didn't do any good. If w, A.
Clark could have prevailed in his own
county last November, the democratic
state ticket in Montana would have
been defeated. If the money he spent
in Silver Bow, in Deer Lodge, in Mis-
soula and in other counties, in the eff
had availed, the present legislature
would have been republican. The piece
that Gibson had written for him and
which he read, Friday, says that he
switched to Clark in the interest of the
democratic party. That won't wash
it's altogether too gauzy for this alti-
tude at this season of the year.
In fact, those who try an oratorical
switch all fail. Day tried it, and lie
made a miserable mess Of it. Mr.. Days
play was that his county elected him on
the understanding that he would vote
for Clark. The county includes Marys-
vile. The Mountaineer. published in
Marysville, has this to say: IF we re-
member Alright, an effort was made at
the democratic county convention last
fall to have the members of the legisla-
ture elected support Ex-Governor Toole
for that high office, but upon motion of
Ex-Governor Toole, which was approx
ed by a large majority of the delegates
in the convention, it was the sense of
that body that the members elected
should not be pledged to support any
individual, and when Mr.. Day made
the rank statement that he was pledg-
ed to w. A. Clark he did it through
some motive other than a compliance
with the wishes of the convention
which nominated him."
Indeed, the man who casts the right
kind of a vote never has to apologize
for it. The ill-timed and ill-advised
oratory incident to the switching to
Clark is apologize always, and pain
fully lame at that.

The influence of present social condi-
tions in this country upon the birth rate
is beginning to attract attention, for
the reason that the size of the average
American family is steadily decreasing
This is especially true In New England,
where the average family has been re-
duced from SIC In 1850 to 4.57 at the
present time, but the same thing is
true in a reduced degree of the whole
nation. In 1850 the size of the average
American family was 5.55 and 1t has
now been reduced to 4.93. We are still
maintaining a healthy birth rate, but
conditions that tend to restrict the rails
ing of families and to reduce the num-
Der of births cannot be said to be de-
sirable.

nately. as he thought, he spoke French
fuently and had a Paris address; and

Paris gave him no encouragement.

Spy, and treated accordingly. Mr.. Kelly
found his invasion of hostile territory
