The Gazette is in RECEIPT of letter
from Senator Lee M antle, stating that
he is sorry to see that this newspaper
was $50 quick to take for granted the
infamous falsehood contained in the
Standard, to the effect that I had
actively aided and abetted Clark's elec-
tion." Senator Mantle is mistaken.
This newspaper did not take it for
granted. 1t merely published the re-
port, credited to the Standard, without
comment. Senator Mantle denounces
IN the strongest terms the action of the
republicans and silver repu blicans who
voted for Clark and deprecates the fact
that the good name and fame of Mon
tana has again been dragged in the
mire of debauchery and corruption and
has become a byword and reproach
throughout the land. We are pleased
to be able to thus oct Senator Mantle
right before the readers of The Gazette,
which has high regard for that gen.
tleman, and to express the wish that
he will soon identify himself with the
republican party, where he naturally
belongs.

THE WOMEN MUST WAIT.

Woman suffrage in Montana will not
come until after the legislature Of 1901
adjonrns; the house last Monday de-
feated the bill to submit the proposition
to vote of the people. The movement
to give the ballot to the women mus
tered ten supporters on the final
vote; two years ago the vote against it
in the house was 81 to %. It would
appear. therefore, that the sentiment is
not now as strong as it was, but the
women do not despair and the time
will come, no doubt, when Montana
will vote on the proposition as to
whether our wives, sisters, daughters
and sweethearts shall actively enter the
political arena "
At present politics are so unclean in
this state that few men would desire
that women dear to them should enter
the contests, but it has been contended,
and with some show of reason we must
admit, that politics would be purer if
the women took part. If we could be
sure of this, The Gazette would be a
strong advocate of woman suffrage,
but II the bad women only choose to ex-
excise the elective franchise and the
good women held aloof, conditions
would be worse than they are at pres.
ent. There's the rub The women of
this state are fully capable of mastering
the science of government; they are
the smartest women. we believe, in
the world. But bad woman is worse
than bad man, and just think what
politics In Montana would be If the bad
men mad women combined their forces.
But the women Of this state have
been fighting now for six years for tho

NO REDUCTION In SALARIES.

The Montana legislature has done
one good thing, anyhow, and this
newspaper hastens to give it credit;
last Tuesday it killed Hobson' Is bill to
reduce the salaries of county officers.
the measure being done for in commit
tee..of the whole Of the senate by vote
Of II to 9. If for no other reason, the
bill should have been killed because it
was Hobson s, the man who, as chair
man of the republican caucus, advised
the members Of that party and led them
to vote for democratic United States
senator. But there are more practical
reasons why the bill should have been
defeated, the chief one Of which is that
the laborer is worthy of his hire. There
was time when the county officers Of
this state were too literally paid, but
that was when the fee system was in
vogue. Four years ago the legislature
put the county officers on salaries, pro-
portioned according to the assessed val
uation, and since that time their COM
pensation is commensurate to the duties
they are required to perform; that, and
nothing more.
Il requires more ability than the
average individual imagines to success
fully conduct any one of the county
offices and the emoluments should be
such, in the opinion of The Gazette, to
make the offices sought by the best
men. That is the case at present to a
certain extent, but the salaries are now
pretty near the line where the offices
would 60 begging if further reduction
should be made. That would be
prejudicial to the public service and
the taxpayers; they are able to pay a
fair remuneration to have their business
performed in busin nesslike manner.
They are doing no more than that and
the legislature very sensibly took that
view Of the matter.

GIVES CARTER CREDIT.

The esteemed Billing gs Times, we are
pleased to note. is not too partisan to
give Senator Carter full credit for his
amendment to. the river and harbor
bill, heretofore mentioned in these
columns. The amendment, it will be
remembe bered, appropriates $5,0O0,000
for the construction Of reservoirs and
canals in the arid states and territories
for the storage of water to reclaim the
land, which is the most productive in
the world when irrigated. Senator
Garter, ever since he has been in public
life, has always been Jealous in his ad-
vocacy of the magnificent undeveloped
resources cf this great western empire
and has done more, perhaps, to call the
attentions of the east to its great posi-
bilities than any member Of the senate
or house west Of the Mississippi river.
His present amendment is on these
lines, OF winch our contemporary very
truly says:
''Should the senator succeed in in
stilling into the senate some conception
Of the vast benefit to the nation to re-
suit from reclaiming the arid lands of
the west, he will have accomplished
much, especially if tho comparatively
small sum can be diverted from some
worthless schemes which usually cum.

1T Is BROAD ENOUGH.

The senate on Tuesday voted on the
resolution Of Senator McEnery of Louis
lana declaring the policy Of this govern
ment in reference to the Philippine
islands. The resolution, which was
adopted by vote Of s6 to ~, is as fol-
lows:
'.That by the ratification of the
treaty of peace with Spain, it is not
intended to incorporate the inhabitants
Of the Philippines into citizenship OF
the United States. nor is it intended to
permanently annex said islands as an
integral part Of the territory of the
United States, but it is the intention of
the United States to establish Oh said
islands government suitable to the
wants and conditions of the inhabitants
Of said islands to prepare them for local
self government and in due time to
make such disposition of said islands as
will best promote the interests of the
citizens OF the United States and the
inhabitants of said islands,
That line Of policy is certainly broad
enough. Furthermore, it is wise, just
and humane. It leaves the question Of
taking the Filipinos into the Union
open: if it be found that they are not
capable Of self government, such a dis
position Of them may finally be made.
In the meantime this government will
do that which is best for the natives
and this country. What more could be
asked?
The declaration is a death blow to
the democratic Journals which have
been shouting SO loudly against what
they are pleased to term imperial
ism.'' The Anaconda Standard, which
belongs to this class. refuses to believe
that the senate means it; our esteemed
metropolitan contemporary, true to its
democratic instincts, assumes that the
administration. after the 4th Of next
March. will go ahead and do as it
pleases. OF course it will: the resolu.
tion authorizes it to do Soto do that
which will best promote the interests
of the citizens Of the United States and
the inhabitants Of said islands"
Isn't that enough? 1t is conosant
with the spirit of the constitution; il
is patriotic and in line with republican
policy. That party has always done
the best for the people who trusted il
with the reigns Of government. 1t will
do so now Neither the Filipinos OF
the inhabitants of the United States
will have aught to complain Of unless
the settlement Of this great question
should be entrusted to the democratic
party.

The second lecture under the auspices Of
the Young Peoples Temple Society Of the
Washington Congregation was delivered
last night in the synagogue on Eighth
Street northwest by Rabbi Joseph Kraus-
kopf. of Philadelphia The lecturer took
for his subject, The Tragedy of the jew"
and ne talked in an eloquent and forceful
manner for over an hour to a large cOugre-
cation. Mr. Krauskopf read a portion of
the book OF Job, from the Hebrew Bible
and stated that his sermon, or lecture
would be based on the sufferings Of Job as
the real tragedy of the Hebrew race.
The book was not written to be read by
the people as a pastime,' he stated. 1t
was 10 be a lesson to them and was to
some extent allegorical. The life of Job
is the tragedy of the Jew. The Job OF the
Bible never lived, but the Jew as repre-
seuted by Job lived, did suffer, and was
afflicted with untold wrongs. The book Is

of grievous things to the world. They are
guilty of having given to civilized society
their God, their supreme being, the thing
they worship They are guilty Of having
given TO over 200 600 600 Christians the
Son Of God, and to more than 100 600 600
Christians the holy mother.
"Oh, we have been guilty Of grievous
sins. We were guilty of giving TO civilized
society the Bible, the prophets and nu-
merous wise and great men. and the an
cient histories; in fact We are guilty of so
many things that We cannot enumerate

In concluding his lecture Mr.. Krauskopf
paid an eloquent tribute TO Mr.. Simon

doing more to upift the Hebrew than any
