THE MONTANA SENATORIAL SCANDAL

From the Philadelphia Press.
The unanimous decision on Saturday of
the Montana supreme court to disbar At
torney John 3. welcome of that state
for bribing members Of the legislature to
vote for William A Clark for United
States senator must influence the contest
that Is being made to deprive Mr.. Clark
OF his seat in the senate. Mr.. Welcome
was the acknowledged agent of Mr..
Clark at the time of the bitter senatorial
contest before the Montana legislature
last winter. The claim that he bribed
members of the legislature to vote for
Clark was made at the time of the cleo
ton for senator and was repeated under
oath at the time of Welcomes trial las,
month. These charges seem to have been
proved to the satisfaction of the supreme
court judges of Montana and the result
is the disbarment of Welcome by unan-
imous vote of the bench.
The case will now be transferred to
Washington, where a contest against
Senator Clark's right to sit in the senate
has been begun. The charge against
Senator Clark is bribery, and the sums
offered for votes and the incidents sur
rounding the efforts to secure Mr.. Clark's
election by money are stated SO explicitly
and are supported ~ such a wealth of
evidence that strong proof on the other
side will be needed to prove that the
latest senatorial election in Montana was
free from corruption. An opportunity
was offered Senator Clark and his agent
and friends to prove the falsity of the
charges before the Montana supreme
court. Their failure to do this or to offer
any evidence whatever. even refusing to
| go on the stand, must weigh against them
| in public opinion. 1t Is no longer suspi-
| cion of bribery that hangs over the cleo
| ton of Senator Clark. The highest court
| OF the state he helps to represent in the
senate has officially declared that 1t is
| satisfied that there was such bribery and
| found Senator Clark's agent guilty.
| What the action OF the United States
| senate will be in the contest to deprive
| Mr. Clark of his seat in that body can
| not be foretold. 1t will, however, not
| lack for evidence to sustain the charge
| that there was bribery. The testimony
| given before the Montana supreme court
| by three men who claim that Senator
| Clark's agent gave them money for their
| votes will be presented to the senate, to-
| gcther with the actual packages of money
| which they say were offered. In addition
a memorial signed by the governor OF
| Montana, by the speaker of the house
| of representa- ttves of the Montana legis-
| lature and by other officials Will be pre-
| scented accusing Senator Clark of having
obtained his seat in the senate by corrup
| ton and bribery. What evidence Senator
Clark has to offer in rebuttai has no
been made known. II he follows th'
same plan he adopted before the grand
jury at Helena. Mont, and before the 81
| preme court of that state, he will remaiI
silent and permit the senate to decid'
with only the evidence against him be

Clark Bribery Charges.

From the st. Louis Gobe-Democrat.
The sentence of the supreme court OF
the state disbarring John B. Welcome
for bribery in connection with the cleo
ton OF Senator Clark fixes the case with
a definiteness that cannot be ignored. In
the papers filed with the senate there Is
testimony from Welcome himself stating
that he is one of the attorneys for w.
A. Clark and that he has been his attor-
ney since 1892. He admitted being the
manager of Clark's campaign and one
of the disbursing agents of the candi-
date. Welcome confessed to giving peo-
PIE various sums of money, but claimed
1t was for their legitimate expenses. The
evidence against Welcome Of bribery
must have been convincing to carry with
it sentence of dsbarment No case that
has been investigated by the United
States senate ever approached the Clark
scandal in it's comprehensive recklessness
and denauchment of the members of
legislative assembly. The petitioners for
an investigation offer a copy of the evil
dence ON which Attorney Welcome has
been disbarred. and IN addition thereto
the evidence before the grand jury ana
the legislative investigating committee.
1t is declared that the governor and other
state officials stand ready to show and
present proofs of the offers and payments
of money.

employees MAY INVEST.
Great Northern to Increase Its Capital
Stock 10 Per Cent

Stock 10 Per Cent
st. Paul, Dec. 29.--Under a plan rec
commended to the stockholders of the
Great Northern railroad by President
James J. Fill and the management, the
capital stock of the road will be in
creased 10 per cent and the employees
given an opportunity to invest in the
issue at par. The plan Is one which has
been under consideration for some time,
and It's details have just begun to be
known.
Great Northern stock is now worth
about s175 a share. By paying cash the
employees will be enabled to secure stock
worth almost double what they will
pay for it, as the increase will hardly
affect the present market value. One
provision only is made with reference
to the issue to the employees, and this is
to the effect that only these employees
who receive a salary of $4,000 year or
less will be eligible to purchase 1t on the
terms mentioned. 1t is the purpose of
the management to put the stock where
1t do the most good and to prevent it
1t will do the most good and to prevent it
not need 1t. No individual holding can
be increased to more than 5000. The
interest on the investment will make
this method, of slowing away savings
more desirable to the employees than to
bank them and will pay better profit.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-12-30

remedy Is inadequate. The members
admit that If the association cannot
really help both mistress and maid to
work together more smoothly than they
do it might as well disband.
At one time. 1t seems, the associa-
ton was threatened with disruption by
the difficulty of getting honest refer
ences for the servants for whom it I'M
dertook to find employment. Now It
has reached a point where it dispenses
with references altogether Some bright
servant girls have suggested that mis-
tresses should bring references as to
their good temper and reasonableness.
Internationally when women under
stand that domestic service is a bust
ness relation and that girls have just
as much right to ascertain whether the
house is reasonable in its requirements
as the mistress has to find whether
her maid can cook, and much more
than she has to pry into the girls per-
sonal affairs, there will be less friction
in kitchens.
The fundamental trouble. of course,
lies in the fact that the demand Is al
ways in excess of the supply, II a girl
is fired" she is reasonably sure Of
getting another and perhaps an easier
job the very next day, or as soon as
she wants It. But maid who is well
treated is not SO liable to throw up her
"situation" as one to whom no con-
sideraton is shown. That's as near as
the servant girl problem has ever been.
or ever will be, solved.
