IT would unquestionably be USE
full this year Is there could be q
general observance Of the cen
tenary Of Westinghouse death.
The death of the patriot occurred
at Mount Vernon on December Il,
1899 The century's close finds
events which suggests need of
recalling the spirit of Washing
toms life and public utterances.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that
there will be popular commera-
ton of this notable date in Ameri-
can history. Public sentiment
and the influence of the public
press should alike be exerted to
make the reminder appropriately
complete and comprehensive in
scope and earnestness. On Decea-
Der IA, 1899, there should be
witnessedin these United States the
spectacle of general Washington
memorial services, which will bear
eloquent testimony to the deep
love and veneration still felt for
the counsel of Washington to his
country.

At the meeting of the members Of
of the national committee at Chi
cago this we elk the situation from
a national standpoint was discus
sed. The dominant issues of the
next campaign will be annexation
of foreign subjects and territory,
imperialism and trusts and all
these will be opposed, and the
substance of the Chicago platform
endorsed. There seems no doubt
but that the two national leaders
will be Bryan and Mckinley

THE extension of monopoly
would aot be 80 bad, for in the
very nature of things it is bound
to extent, were it not in every
instance the trusts take occasion
to advance prices. In some in
stances tho advance has been fifty
per cent, in others much more,
which means tribute of millions
of dollars levied upon the people.
Take any article of daily consump-
ton and advance the price but one
per cent even that means millions
of dollars yearly to the trust, In
dividually we may not feel it
much of hardship, but we ques-
ton the right of any combine to
amass wealth at our expense.
While none are more generous
than those who earn their living
by honest toll, there is principle
involved in allowing an unfair adj
vantage, which, although it may
be but trifing, one is bound to
resist. While we may be as
generous as we please, We are also
bound to be just, even to ourselves.

Accusations such as re-
Gently made in connection with
the election of William A. Clark,
the Montana mining king, to the
United States senate, will undoubt-
eddy bring up again the question
of the election of United States
senators by popular vote. Senator
Clark is not the only member of
the United States senate who has
been accused Of buying his seat
in that body. When the men who
framed the United States constitu-
ton provided for the election of
United States senators by state
legislatures in joint session, they
aimed to give the senate flavor
Of the English house of lords. 1t
was thought that this method of
election would produce q body Of
weight and conservatism. The
contingency that a few hundred
men could be bought by wealthy
aspirant to federal distinction did
not occur to the trainers of the
constitution. That was a later
development. This development is
enough of itself to justify the
change to the popular election of
senators. The change would pre-
serve the conservatism for which
the trainers of the constitution
strove.

The newspapers generally are
making a great fuss over the
matter of permitting Congressman
Roberts, of Utah, to occupy his
seat in the House of Representa-
tives. That he has been duly and
regularly elected by the citizens
of his state and under the constitu'
ton of the United States is en-
titled to his seat cannot be gain
said. When Utah was admitted
as state the contract was that no
morepolygamous marriages should
be entered into. It did not pro-
vide that in order to become citi-
zens of the United States the
Mormons should dispose of all of
their wives but one. It merely
provided that no more plural mar
riages should be contracted.
There is no evidence that Roberts
has violated this law. Therefore
there is no loyal ground for his
expulsion. But the claim is made
that congress should expel him
because he is polygamist and
po]ygamy is immoral. Congress
can do this by q two-thirds vote
as it has the power to expel any
member upon any charge that
may be preferred, if a two-thirds
vote of the members can be
secured. Newspapers and individ-
uals who are interested in sending
petitions to congress for the ex-
pulsion of Roberts should also
with his expulsion further de-
mnnd that congress cut off the
salary of the Sultan of Sulu and
his chiefs, each of whom have
several times as many wives as
Roberts. The republican party
have hoisted the American flag
over the Sulu Islands and made it
the protector of slavery in viola
ton of the thirteenth amendment
to the constitution, and polygamy,
which is contrary to all christian
morals. The spectacle of a repub-
lican congress expelling Roberts,
and at the same time making ap-
preparations to support the Sultan
of Sulu and his chiefs would be
all exhibition of hyprocisy and
cant that would be entitled to first
prize in Hades.

There are several Langdon people who
are feeling pretty good since hearing Of
the decision rendered in the supreme
court last week relative to Il number of
old deals in which they got tied up with
the American Building & Loan Aesocia-
ton, of Minneapolis, when it went into
the hands Of n receiver two or three
years ago. The receiver of the associa-
ton in attempting to settle up the affairs
brought suit against number OF the
stockholders throughout the northwest,
some OF whom were Langdon people.
Since then an appeal was taken to the
supreme court with the result that the
defendants won. In giving its decision
the court reversed a former opinion it
had given in the same case
