Roosevelt and the Beef.

N1ow t.. that at he lis. is elected lt, inaus gu
7 old stand, as governor of New
York, Theodore Roosevelt feels free to
take a hand again in the task of fight
ing for the second time the war of the
United States with Spain. Last sum-
mer, before he secured the republican
nomination for governor, Roosevelt was
defiant of the administra TONS Alger
wing. His severe criticisms from the
Santiago field reached the American
public, his stern denunciations of the
war departments inglorious manage
ment were, in fact, the first protests
that reached the public ear.
Alger tried desperately hard, at the
time, to crush Roosevelt-Alger sneered
at the criticisms and then denounced
the critic. This didn't count. knowing
precisely how he had related himself to
the war-department ring, the New York
republicans nevertheless took up
Roosevelt and nominated him for
paign was that the New York demo-
cratic platform, in rivalry to Roose-
welt. was an exact echo, in it's criticism
of the war department. of the views
for which, VIGOROUSLY, Roosevelt was
sponsor.
Settled down at the governors desk
in Albany Roosevelt is willing in ses-
sion and out of session, to bear testi-
mony to Ayers administration He
has views as to Ayers army beef;
rather, he had an experience with it.
He sustains the testimony recently
given by General Miles; he testifies
that the stencil from the Alger "em-
balmed' beef was SO sickening that.
in transit to Santiago, the soldiers could
not remain in the quarter of the ship
where the beef was stored.
Very recently Alger has made another
of his persistent and always unavail-
ing attempts to cross Roosevelt's track.
Recently there was talk of one of the
medals of honor which the government
gives to men who rendered distin-
guished service in the recent war.
Alger lately let the newspaper re-
porters in long enough to say to them
that Governor Roosevelt's desire for
a medal of honor will be satisfied as
soon as he files evidence with the war
department showing that he performed
an act of extraordinary heroism during
the war"
Aside from any rough-rider expert
ence in front of Santiago, it will be
public opinion that Roosevelt rendered
a very distinguished service when in
camp on the island of Cuba, he started
the protest which compelled the war
department to revise it's plans, thus
sparing thousands of soldiers from ex-
posture to certain death in the fever
laden region where Alger intended to
hold them as long as they furnished a
market for more of his embalmed
beef

ton of the Helena people seem to have
gone insane on Clark's candidacy. Deep
down in the bottom of the heart of
every Clark man who has read the re-
port of the bribery investigating COM
mittee, he knows that the testimony of
Messrs. Whiteside, Myers and Clark is
true, every word of it. And it is the
consciousness that it is true that rem
ders the radical Clarkites rabid with
rage and vicious with denunciation of
those who brought about the exposure.
To illustrate the almost inconceivahle
fury, spite and prejudice of many Hell
ena people, not all by any means, it is
only necessary to relate an incident
that occurred Friday. State Senator
Clark of Madison county is a gentle
man whose integrity has never been
questioned. The Helena press, wild and
vicious as it is at present, dares not
question it even now. He is a gentle
man whose character is absolutely
above reproach, he is known far and
wide throughout the state of Montana
as citizen of the highest and best
type He is a sterling democrat. but
with any wing or faction. All Mon
tana knows Senator Clark and respects
him. In the discharge of his duty as a
state senator. sworn to uphold and de-
fend the constitution and laws of Mon
tana. to maintain Justice and prevent
the commission of crime, Senator Clark
assisted in bringing the proofs of
Clark's bribery home to one of the
managers of Clarks campaign, Mr..
Welcome. Such Is Senator Clarks
high standing in the community that
the Helena Independent, the Helena
Herald and the Butte Miner have hard
" dared so much as to mention lis
name in connection with the affair.
They respect him and they fear MIN,
and they leave it to Ciark's wild-eyed
Helena followers to insult him. On
Friday the proprietor of the boarding
house where Senator Clark has been
staying waited on him with the intelli-
gence that in Difference to the wishes Of
A. J. Steele and the boarders she would
have to request him to leave immed-
lately. The incident is mentioned sim
ply to show the violence of feeling
which dominates many Helena people
since their idol w. A. Clark, was de-
throned and tumbled into the gutter.
Fortunately they have not yet begun
to use guns.

Election of Senators.

From the Idaho Daily Statesman.
The people send their representatives
to the Legislature, but it may take them
weeks to make a. selection, and they
sometimes fail entirely. While the con-
test progresses all kinds of scandals are
likely to arise, While the legislature is
kept from giving earnest attention to
the more important work for which it is
called together. The system now pur-
sued in the election of senators must
soon break down under the weight of
accommodating adverse public sentiment
Sooner or later every state gets a dose
of the evil, and in a very few years the
demand for change will be universal
There is now very little attempt to re-
flute the arguments made by those sup
porting the proposed form, but the con-
servatism of the country is still in con-
troll on the subject. Such man as
Senator Hoar, who believes that the
constitution will be destroyed if we an
mex few islands in the Pacific, holds
that the safety of the republic would
be imperiled if we deviated from the
method Of electing senators. but all such
will soon be overhorne and the reform
inaugurated.

Brides and Bribers.
From the Great Falls Lea der

From the Great Falls Leader
How low and contemplate is the CIV
ing and taking of brides Which is the
worst, it is hard to say; one is engaged
in the work of the devil. He is a temp
ter. He is serpent. A fiend. A loath-
some piece of breathing corruption. The
taker of a bride is a Weakened slave
to unholy desire. He has no moral
backbone. In this he is like the SER
pent, the fiend, the breathing mass of
putrid corruption. They both tend to
the same place--hell if there is such q
place, and the strongest argument we
know of going to Show the existence
of hell is found in the presence upon
earth of the giver and tal1er of brides.
The taker of aLhribe can plead his
temptation. What may the giver If
bride plead? Ambition is merely an
other name for temptation. Both are
tempted. both yield. The taker of a
bride sells what?$ $Dishonor, or that
which would otherwise be his honor.
What does the dispenser of a bride
get save dishonor, or that which would
otherwise be an honor? One may have
in view the keeping of body and a
worthless soul together: the other
wishes to better his station in life.
Each sacrifices something that is truly
noble and Godlike in order to gra tify
ambitions, and attain that which they
cannot honestly obtain.

the state, to vote for Clark would be an
impossibility.
The Independent, like the other news
papers which have been leased for the
campaign by Mr.. Clark, makes the
grievous error of regarding the expos
merely an incident in the Daly-Clark
factional fight. Or perhaps this error
is intentional and is for the purpose of
throwing dust in the eyes of the public
But the people generally know that Mr.
Clark's corruption was unmasked by
parties entirely outside of the DAILY
faction" as the Independent styles it.
Senator Whiteside said in his testimony
that he himself originated the plan of
exposing the bribers; that he went to
all the senatorial candidates alike to
see whether they were offering brides,
and that the only money offered was by
the Clark people. Senator Clark of
Madison county testified that he went
to Helena with the avowed intention of
voting for w. A. Clark for United
come counted him out $1,000 for doing
So he changed his mind, as every hon.
est man must do
Clark's bribery was exposed by men,
bers of the Legislature, not for the sake
of the Daily faction or any faction or
party, but for the honor and welfare
and good name of the state of Montana.

The Grand Jury.

+ n Helena yesterday a grand jury was
sworn in and charged by Judge Nc
lntyre to make thorough investi-
cation into the bribery operations of
the Clark boodlers The court was at
pains to give the grand Jurors full in
structions as to their duties and their
methods of procedure. 1t was the ex
press desire of the legislature that At
torney General Nolan, as the states
highest legal adviser, should assist the
county attorney of Lewis and Clarke
county in bringing the matters under
consideration properly before the grand
jury. The question was raised yester-
day as to whether the presence of the
attorney general in the grand jury
room would not be a violation of law.
The attention of the supreme court was
called to the point and a decision will
be rendered to- morrow.
Tt is amazing with what brazen eff
frontery the Clark cOrruptiOnists in
Helena are declaring that the grand
jury will whitewash them. L is their
open boast that all Helena sympathizes
with them and that the grand jury
as a Helena institution, must necessar-
lily do likewise. The integrity of the
gentlemen composing the grand jury
as far as the Standard knows is spot
less and unquestioned. And it is, we
repeat, amazing that W. A. Clark $
professional boodlers should go about
the streets asserting that the grand
jury is bound to whtewash the guilty
rogues simply because il is Helena
grand jury and W. A. Clark to all in
tents and purposes is a Helena man.

some advice to members of the legisla
ture Rather it should advise the men,
bers of the legislature to beware of
senatorial candidates bearing brides. for
as sure as there is an eternity your sin
will find you out.
The Butte Miner is a present engaged
in throwing compliments at some of the
legislators who are now, in accordance
with contracts previously made, voting
for w. A. Clark for United States sena-
tor. How long will the Miner continue
throwing compliments at these men
after the senatorial fight is over and
the legislature has adjourned? Who will
respect these men then? Who respects
Coder? Who respects Lewis and
Graves and Van Cleve and the rest of
them? Do you think that w. a. Clark
will help you after he has used you
and ruined you? Has he helped Coder
and Lewis and Graves and the others
after he got their votes?
Bride money is blood money 1t is
a curse to every man who accepts 1t.
The history of the past six years proves
that there is no spot on earth which can
save the bribed man from his punish
ment. Why is it that the briber escapes
punishment? Certainly it is as great
crime to offer a bride as to accept one,
and morally 1t is the greater crime, for
to tempt is a greater sin than to yield
to temptation. To many men $1,000 is
a greater temptation than $100,O 600 is to
others. To many members of the leg
islature the sum of $4,000 means the
raising of lOns-standing mortgage. It
means perhaps a more comfortable
home or larger farm OF d years trip
abroad. 1t is no wonder that the offer
of such money is a terrible temptation
to men of small means. Yet no man
who takes a bride prospers. 1t is blood
money and never fails to bring ruin
Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts,
Beware of senatorial candidates bearing
brides! Beware of the Miner and the
Independent throwing bouquets. for the
bouquets conceal scorn and contempt
and contumely and the papers which are
now lavishing compliments will never
speak of you with respect after the sem
atorial voting is over. Remember how

If virtue would allure like sin
How easily might goodness win.
If right went laughing by like wrong
The devil would lose half his throng
If day sought pleasure like the night
Dawn need not blush TO face the light
But virtue seems so cold and proud
That merry sin attracts the crowd.

And care so eats the daytime up
At night they seize mad foily's cup.
And drink forgetfulness till dawn,
And so the queer old world goes on.
