THE CAPITOL SUI INC

1t is stated that the contract under
which the capitol building in Helena is
being erected is tempered by the proviso
hat in case of a strike the requirement
that the structure shall De completed in
a certain time shall be waived. There is
a suspicion that inability on the part Of
the contractor to complete the building
in the time named in the contract has
led up to the condition Of things which
precipitated a strike.
Tt seems hat the strike could easily
of a different foreman, and did not in
volve any conditions that worked a hard
ship on the contractor, such as an in
crease of wages might have done. This
gives color to the belief that the strike
was planned for, though such a statement
might do a radical injustice to the con-
tractor. The matter is one in which the
state capitol commission should interest
itself without delay.
From present indications the work on
he building may be indefinitely delayed,
besides it seems that the contractor is
advertising for non-union stone cutters.
Is the contract with the democratic state
administration so drawn that the con-
tractor can erect the state capitol with
%non-union men? The situate" is becorn-
ing interesting.

The DIVISION or CHINA.

The Anaconda Standard objects to the
recent statement of Senator Clark that
when China is divided up America ought
to stand in on the divvy. That paper
cannot understand how the distinguished
senator from Butte can claim to be a
democrat while laundering after a slice
of China. 1t seems to think the senator
has gone altogether too far, for a demo-
crat, in declaring that the proper place for
the United States flag in the Philippines
is on the top end Of a pole instead of in
the grass; but it wakes still more eloquent
in it's opposition when the suggestion is
made that this country ought to spread
out into Asia when opportunity offers.
From the position taken by Senator
Clark on this matter it would seem that
a radical difference is about to spring up
in the ranks of the Montana democracy
relative to the expansion idea. If the
senator's views are shared by his wing
of the party in this state an a~nti-expan-
sion plank IN the natlOnal platform next
year will have hard shedding in Montana.
While republican sentiment does not
go to the extreme of slicing up China,
just for the fun of cutting up" and can
not overtake the advanced views of Sem
ator Clark on this momentous question,
it does believe in standing by the
stars and stripes wherever the flag floats
and whenever the interests for which
it stands are in issue. III.
While Senator Clark is a democrat OF
the old school, and has probably done az
much to prolong the life Of the emaciated
free trade idea as any other member 81
that party, he deserves all due credit fol-
expressing the opinion that the govern
ment should be sustained in fighting the
Filipinos to a finish. He will not dis
credit the patriotic sentiment of Montana
by Incorporating any of the Standard
editorials on the Philippine wal into hi
speeches before the senate of the UNITED
States.

PATRIOTISM AN ISSUE.

The efforts of the leaders of the nation
al democracy to embarass the govern |
nlent in it's prosecution Of the war in the
Philippines will neither be forgotten nor |
forgiven. They have visited upon the
federal authorities all the criticism and
abuse which political ingenuity could in
vent, and sought to arouse the sentiment
Of the people against them by misrepre-
senting the facts. They have by argu-
ment and advice, by offerings of good
cheer and words of approval, encouraged
Aguinaldo to continue his warfare and
the slaughter Of American troops. They
have taken the position that the country
which gives them shelter is wrong and
that its enemies are right, and seek to ad-
vertfse the magnitude and quality of
their conscience by inviting defeat as
punishment for a national mistake. Be-
fore the bar of public opinion these men
must make answer to the charge of treas
enable sentiments toward the flag.
In the forthcoming national campaign
the people will pass judgment upon the
rectitude of their purposes and the in
fluence of their acts. Patriotism will be
again in issue. The fires that famed on
the hearthstone of our national hope
when the echoes of the confederacy We're
heard throughout the land will be rekin-
died. The American people love their
country and their flag. When it is fired
