Worthy of Quay.

IN Pennsylvania, Senator Quay has
caused to be circulated a promise
that is like him and that is an illus
tration of his methods. The aim is to
hold hesitating legislators in the Quay
column by the specious assurance that
the senator, if reelected, will agree to
resign in the event of his conviction
on the charges pending against him.
This proposition becomes ridiculous
the instant one takes account of it. If
Quay is convicted he WILL by due pro-
cess of law, go elsewhere than to the
United States senate. He will hardly
resign If elected to the senate-his
promise is superfluous; doubtless, if
elected, he will be expelled if he is
found guilty. The honest people of
Pennsylvania certainly ought to know
enough about Quay by this time to de-
eide whether he is fit to be in the fed
eral senate-to say nothing of a trial on
which, his henchmen feel sure, he will
have an availing pull" with any jury
that can be mustered.
The indictment against Quay charges
that 1.-The public funds of Pennsylvania
have been used for years by Quay for
his own private and unlawful gain"
This paragraph is in the case: THE
| books show that hundreds of thousands
of dollars of the public money deposited
| in the Peoples bank were set apart for
the use of M. S. Quay, and used by him;
and that he was charged no interest
thereon. The books show that hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of stocks
were bought for the said NJ. S. Quay
with this money. That whenever he
failed to use his full allowance of pub
lie money thus set apart for him inter.

days of good. strong. thick sui
phur smoke, SO dense that it would
sicken some of the residents and make
complete the disgust of those who keep
well-if that We're to happen, the smoke
question would be dealt with according
to its deserts. and the temporary affiic-
ton would be great, permanent gain.
Butte hasn't very long memory. Six
hours of clear sky cause it to forget
sixty hours of smoke annoyance. Then,
too, the local business world permits it's
memory to be abbreviated. by the fool
ish and unfounded notion that the solu-
ton of the smoke problem means in
jury to the returns in the cash draw
er. That consideration has been potent
in all former efforts to inaugurate in
the city a smoke crusade. Sane men
ought to see that the Kidding of the city
of its plague of smoke will certainly be
a matter of benefit to every interest in
Butte. There is, unfortunately, in the
city an element that knows no interest
except it's own and that is net willing to
permit the future to have any part in
it's plans.
1t really looks, this time, as if the ap-
proach to this everlasting smoke ques-
ton were moving along the right lines.
To be sure, there is no solution in sight;
thus far everything is tentative. At the
same time, the problem is presented
in different form than ever before-in a
form which seems to justify the belief
that the pending plans mean business.
The Standard is not anticipating that
relief will come in hurry. However.
things will happen this week which
will bring out several important facts.
Soon it will transpire whether it is going
to be case of good-faith cooperation
between the smelter managers and the
long suffering public. If it is found that
| both sides are candid in the undertake
ing to settle the smoke question then
we may all believe that a practical way
of escape from the plague will not be
wanting.

right. The senator has reason to know
that the republican membership of the
legislature includes an element that
will undoubtedly need herding-the eX-
perience of former Montana legislatures
teaches that. In the senatorial contest
of six years ago, w. A. Clark bought
republican members just as man
would buy pork in the open market.
These republicans sold out to Clark at
a moment when all they had to do was
to be decent in order to make possible
the winning of the senatorial seat for
republican.
Mr.. Carter asserts that there will GER
tainly be no sale and delivery of repub-
licans to Clark this year. If he can
guarantee his assertion, he knows his
men well. intimately well. The open
boast of the Clark boosters at Helena
is that they have already completed, to
a certain extent, the republican pur-
chase; evidently they have not been
able to persuade Mr.. Carter that they
can make their boast good.
If the members of the Montana legis-
idlule "cle W 81 dl lHGiI ldSh DIS the
average business man addresses him

their work and reach a final adjourn
ment before the twenty-first day of
January. Were they to do this no pub
lie interest would suffer; on the con-
trary there would be a distinct gain
both as to the quantity and the quality
of the sessions work. 1t is almost too
much, however, to expect of the average
legislature that 1t will put it's business
through on ordinary business princi-
pies Probably the last hour of the last
day allowed by law will find the legis-
lative mill grinding. One peril in the
makeup of the two houses is the too
heavy democratic preponderance: I'M
questionably a more evenly balanced
legislature would be better.
At the same time, there is a strong
element of good men in the democratic
majority which by making it's influence
felt can bring out of the sessions work
distinct credit to the party and percep-
tible benefit to the state. At the out
set the Standard is ready and willing
to believe that this element will make
it's control felt and that the session will
prove to be one that. from every point
Of view, will merit public commentator.

ing's Standard was this: at is
a theme of constant comment that the
sixth legislative assembly is an excep-
tionally fine looking, we'll dressed and
intelligent body of men," This estimate
ought, we suppose, to have the greater
weight by reason of the fact that in
this particular instance the testimonial
to the personal beauty and intellectual
superiority of the present legislature
was written by one of the members
of it.
More than a third of century ago,
when he was in his splendid prime,
William M. Evarts was a member of a
New York state constitutional conven-
tion. One 4sday he said: II have heard

bers 4f this convention that it is I'M

myself, concluded that We are, indeed
we are. At any rate, it is manifest that
we all think so, although nothing has
occurred which, in my judgment, JUS
tifies the public in sharing that opinion. -
AS for the aggregation at Helena,
Dublic opinion holds itself in reserve 1t
has been current report that the per-
centage of members whom the people
can trust is pretty large; enough has
already become a matter of public
knowledge to show that the body has
its proportion of men who are right out
for the stuff, and who already have
Clark money in their inside pocket.
That is not a cheerful fact, for a
starter.

makes mention of the fact that Sena-
tor Carter Is on the ground. Looking

The accepted opinion in Pennsylvania
apparently is, not that there is doubt
as to the charges but as to Quay's
ability to get away with the jury. AS
Stunning that the public is unaccounta-
bly, stupid, Quay's bland concession
is that if the legislature will only elect
him senator, he will resign if found
guilty. In the event named, he will not
have an opportunity to resign.
