MAYORS MESSAGE
TO the Honor able Common Council Of

To the Honor able Common Council OF
the City of Sank Centre.
Mr. President and Gentlemen OF the
Council: Having been called by a
vote of the electors of the city of Sank
Centre to the responsible position of
mayor and chief executive of the city,
| deem it my duty at this time to defer
to the time honored usage and custom
which has become common in nearly
all municipalities, of the executive ad-
dressing message to the Legislative
branch of the municipal government;
and now, having taken the oath OF
Office, as required bylaw, | take pleas
ure in addressing this communication
to your honorable body.
may say that as to the duties which
my position assign to me, while in no
manner sought after by me, assume
with an humble distrust of my ability,
but with full confidence in the wisdom,
integrity and experience of those who
are to aid me in the discharge of pub
lie affairs, and with hope that while
there undoubtedly may arise grounds
for criticism, our people will extend
towards my official acts that charity
and fairness which is characteristic oil
the American people, and especially
SO of the people of Sank Centre.
l deeply appreciate the fact that the
administration to which have the
honor to succeed, has been an excer-
tionally able, businesslike, progress
sive and vigorous one, which ] feel
am hardly worthy to emulate, and this,
believe, already places me at some
disadvantage.
The idea and harmony of American
institutions, like ours, is grounded on
the public law, which assigns duties to
the various municipal bodies which it
creates, while at the same time limit
ing their activities to the performance
of the duties assigned by law. A city
is municipal corporation organized
for the purpose of securing the health,
comfort, safety and prosperity of the
citizens, and is supported by taxes
upon the community, and its affairs
should always be economically admin

The CITY COUNCIL
The Old Goes Out and
the New Comes In.
THE MAYORS MESSAGE.
A Batch of Appointments Made
and Confirfned--A
Good Start.
THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

On Tuesday eN ening last the old
council held its final meeting, trans
acted a little routine business and
adjourned. The new council, COM
posed entirely of old members, then
organized by electing c. H. Bennett
president and Geo. G. Ingram vice
president.
Ex-Mayor How made a graceful
address, thanking the council for its
support of him, and the assistance
rendered his administrator of the
executive office; referred briefly to
the work of the past year, and COM
mended the officers of the city for
their faithfulness. He introduced
the new mayor, Mr.. Hogan, in the
confident hope that the incoming
administration would be as harmo-
NOUS as the one just expired.
Mayor Hogan delivered an excel
lent address, making some very sem
sible and pertinent suggestions and
recommendations which were re-
ceived with marked favor. 1.-THE
full text of it follows.
The Mayor re-appointed j. Fred
Cooper city clerk, and Byron Carr
chief of police. Both were immedi-
ately confirmed. He nominated for
street commissioner Messrs. War
rem, Boss and Harmon, with the as
surance that either would be salts
factory to him. On the fourth BAL
lot c. IA. Boss was elected. The
Mayor re-appointed Dir. E. j. Lewis,
M. c. Kelsey and Chas. F. Hendryx
on the library board, and the coun-
Gil confirmed the appointments.
The council reelected L.,R. Bar
to city attorney, DR.. Lewis health
officer and j H. Simonton assessor.
The salary of the clerk was fixed
at $3.50 year, the chief of police
at $50 a month and the assessor at
$f05 for the work. Two days labor
or three dollars in cash was fixed as
poll tax. The bonds of city officers
were fixed at the same sums as
last year. The regular meetings of
the council will be held on the first
Tuesday evening of every month,
and the Mayor was invited and re-
quested to attend the meetings.
This first session was peculiarly
pleasant and interesting and the
good feeling and harmony so con-
spicuously manifest gives promise
of satisfactory administration DUR
ing the ensuing year.
President Bennett has announced
the standing committees as follows:
Streets-lngram, Webb, Pang-
burn.
Licenses-Tobey, Webb Ingram.
Poor -Tobey, Buck, Bennett.
Finance Webb, Buck, Ingram.
Property Buck, Pangburn, In

park an inviting appearance.

lied upon to cooperate in the way

make the occasion a sort Of holi-
day, volunteering for the securing
and planting forest trees, and at a
given time secure some one to
make an address suitable for the
occasion, the results would be
beneficial. The influence of a
pretty park upon the grounds of
individuals cannot help but be
beneficial. Improvements of this
character are contagious. Will not
the city authorities give the matter
suitable encouragement?

The HERALD has been urged by
several citizens to call attention to
the vital need of an underground
crossing of the Great Northern
track on Main-st. The terrible &C
cident, so fresh in the minds of all,
would certainly indicate that the
railroad and the city should devise
some means for guarding the pub
lie safety at that point. 1t is not
too early to take the matter in
hand. 1t is demanded.

MAYOR HOGAN.

Elsewhere will be found the in
auguraI message of Mayor Hogan.
delivered to the council on the oc-
casion of its organization on Tues
day evening last.
The recommendations are all
practical and straightforward, and
indicate that the, mayor has given
the interests of the city careful
consideration. His recommends
tons cover but five points-and it
may be inferred that other special
suggestions will be made from time
to time, as provided by the charter.
He urges a reasonable prosecu-
ton of work upon the park along
the lines already laid out by his
predecessor. The work already
done should be completed and from
time to time such Improvements
made as due regard for results
within reasonable expenditures
shall dictate. The park will always
be capable of Improvement, and
within reasonable limit labor for
years can be judiciously employed
upon it.
The needs of sewer system are
referred to, and the suggestion
made that the work begin at once
to relieve that part of the city which
most needs it. /: is not merely a
question of comfort and convent
ence, but the public health is in
velved. The suggestions of tie
mayor will not be found burden
some in their execution.
Due reference is made to the
necessity of keeping streets, side
walks and roads in a good state of
repair, with the specific recommen-
dation that nothing be permitted in
the business portion of the city ex-
cepting substantial and permanent
walks similar to that already laid
on portions of main and other
streets.
The ACCESSIBILITY of providing a
sinking fund for retiring the matur-
ing indebtedness of the city was
urged. a proposition which cannot
fail to meet with universal approx
al.
The suggestion of economy in
municipal administration will strike
every taxpayer favorably. AS in
timated the new mayor will urge
a policy which shall be economical
without being penurious, and broad
guage without being prodigal.
Taken as a whole, the mayors
suggestions. are all sensible and
prompted by sound judgment, and
will meet with universal approval.

money may be, credit can outrun it,
and precipitate either a stringency or
an actual panic. But while this is true
it is equally SO that when the supply
of money is being increased at a rapid
rate, panics are not likely to be so ex-
tended in their character or to last so
long. The large and increasing sup
ply Of money seeking investment brings
a comparatively quick recovery. 1t sus
tains the prices of merchandise and
property, and thus prevents the panic
from becoming general save, perhaps,
for brief period Of time.
But when the supply of money Is
scant-that is insufficient to keep the
general range of prices from falling,
even after the acute stage of the panic
has blown over, it is followed by long
period of depression, in which all in
dustries suffer and the condition Is
characterized by the familiar express
sion, hard times" If the depression
is very deep, panics are not likely to
assume the proportions that they do
when a "boona" breaks. because when
times are hard and money tight, specu-
lation is held in check. The monetary
refor,ners, however, do not claim that
large supply of money will prevent
stock exchange panics, which, as Mr.
Roberts says, are the result of over
speculation on argins. What Is claim
ed is this: That when the supply of
money Is adequate, prices will be sus-
tanned and given an upward tendency,
which insures fair profits and conse-
quent prosperity in productive and
commercial enterprises; while, when
the supply Is inadequate, prices will
fall, eating away profits, forcing capital
out Of active business, closing fac
tories, shutting down mines and re-
stricting trade with all the misery and
suffering that follow in the wake of
| such conditions.
| The advocates of monetary reform
are not giving themselves much con-
| Germ about the woes of the SPECTATORS
it is legitimate productive industries
that they are seeking to protect. When
general prices fall, through an INSULT
cheney of the money supply, it in effect
| adds pro rata to the burden of all debts
and fixed changes, which besides the
grave injustice done certain classes,
also means the paralyzing of business,
and frequently widespread suffering
among the poor.
1t Is worthy of note in this connec-
ton, that Mr.. Roberts comedies the
correctness of the cumulative princi-

of the gold supply from the Transvaal

the present strain.

1HosE in Butte to whom the
Christmas season has brought

In the work Of making happy several
hundred little ones of the city whom
Santa Claus overlooked. The work of

that the tree win groan under the
heavy weight. of Christmas gifts.

ing noble work--a work that is more
appreciated with each passing year. On
Christmas day 300 poor people, unable
to provide themselves with Christmas
dinners. received bountiful dinners
through the instrumentality of the AS
ISOLATED Charities. Not only food but
fuel was provided. The work at the
holiday season is only a small portion,
however, of the splendid work accom-

made by Mr.. Clark and some of his
supporters that the 100000 produced In
the legislature was the product of
conspiracy to defeat him. Never vet
has scintilla of evidence been forth
coming to prove the existence of such
a conspiracy, although many opportu
mites for the exposure have been given.
One opportunity to produce evidence in
support Of the conspiracy view was
afforded Clark's friends at the Well
come disbarment proceedings. Regard
ing the evidence submitted in this at
tempt the supreme court of the state of
Montana in its decision rendered last
Saturday, says, giving 1t the utmost
weight to which 1t was entitled 1t Is
hardly sufficient to require consldera-

But the Clark people will have on
other opportunity to prove their case
before the senate committee. But they
must beware of perjured testimony.
Those witnesses who are going to
Washington from Montana to testify
either in support Of or in opposition to
the charges Of bribery are likely to find
that the senate committee has a way
of finding out the truth and 1t is likely
to go hard In Washington with any
who do not stick close to the truth.

A UNITED DEMOCRACY.
Chairman Danforth Is Much Pleased With
the Encouraging Condition.


New York Dec 27.-Elliott Danforth,
chairman of the democratic state COM
mittee, returned to New York to-day
after a trip through the Souuf, during
which he talked with Senator James
X. Jones, chairman of the national
committee, and most of the caairmen
Of the democratic state committees. Mr..
Danforth said:
in my trip through the South I OBJ
served ore thing which will be consid-
cred of particular interest in New York.
namely, that none of the leaders seam-
ed disposed to insist on free silver as
the main issue of the campaign next
year They did not say that they had
abandoned the 16 to / idea, but they
acknowledged that the situation had
changed since 1896, and that the dom
inant issues next year are trusts and
imperialism. That is to say, they are
unwilling to repudiate the Chicago
platform, but they see that new Issues
of far-reaching Importance have come
up lately and that their choice should
be recognized. Even in states like
North Carolina I found that the anti
trust and anti-imperlalism ideas en-
gagged the attention of the people more
than the free silver issues. In fact,
I might sum up my observations by
saying that the sentiment of democracy
in the South is such that / am confident
there will be little trouble In bringing
about a union of the democracy OF the
whole country next year."

A Serious Matter.

~HE smallpox situation in Butte
and Anaconda has certa My be-
come serious matter. Several
new cases are discovered almost daily
and with the arrival of cold weather
the disease is assuming more severe
form. Until recently the cases were
few and Isolated and 1t was not be-
lieved that a strong foothold would be
obtained by the disease But now the
disease is spreading with rapldity
which creates much apprehension. In
addition to the large number of cases
in Butte and Anaconda a few cases are
reported from Billings, Helmville, Belt
Helena and other towns in the state.
1t is probable that tn, disease would
not have reached serious stage had it
been grappled with in a determined
manner at the start. The disease in
Montana first assumed threatening
proportions in Great Falls during the
latter part of the summer. It was
mild form of the disease and at first
citizens of Great Falls refus to be-
lfeve that the disease had ex.s tence in
the town. There was disposition on
the part of the business men to keep
the truth relative to the matter from
becoming public, and newspapers in
Cured marked displeasure in certain
quarters by giving to the public the
facts in the matter. While this course
was pursued the smallpox thr.ved in
Great Falls. 1t was not until the most
stringent regulations were resorted to
and quarantine law established that the
disease was checked.
Butte failed to profit by the expert
ence of Great Falls. When the disease
first put in its appearance in Butte
many r.diculed the idea that there were
any cases of the disease In the city
Members of Butte's city council de-
clared in council session that they did
not believe there was any smallpox
| in the town and the health officers plan
of quarantining all buildings where
the disease appeared was rescinded. In
| many of the plans for stamping out the
disease the health officer was interior
with. People seemed to regard the
health officer as the real enemy instead
of the smallpox. AS . consequence of
opposition in certain quarters to a strict
enforcement of the regulations and as
a consequence of a failure at all times
to obey the regulations ard recon-
| mendations of the health department,
the disease has gained ground and is
spreading at the present time with
| alarming rapidity.
| Smallpox cannot be stamped out by
being treated with kindness. 1t must
be handed with rigid and merciless
| severity. The disease was of a mild
| form in Great Falls because the
weather was mild. The disease thrives
in cold weather and Is assuming a
more dangerous form in Butte and
Anaconda. The health authorities are
entitled to the unreserved and hearty
support of the people in their efforts to
check and conquer the disease and they
should have it.

Must Tell the Truth.

IA THIN Thin, a few days witnesses in
wv support of and in opposition to
the charge that w. A. Clark
secured his senatorial seat through
bribery will be on their way to Wash
mgton, the capital of the nation. Not
all the witnesses in support of the
charge will be there, for some of them
have already been spirited away by the
agents of Mr.. Clark. Those, however,
whom Mr.. Clark is unable to influence
will be there to testify to what they
know connecting Mr.. Clark with the
bribery charges.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections has declared that 1t will
thoroughly investigate the charges
which have been preferred and it has
set January as the date for beginning
the hearing. The investigation cannot
be too thorough or too searching to
please those people of Montana who
are honest and who want to see the
right prevail. Those citizens of Mon
tana who love Montana, who believe in
the honor of the state and who hope to
zee the states good name restored, will
wish the committee all success in it's
endeavors to probe the matter to the
bottom. A crime has been committed.
Either $4,000 which is now in the
hands of the state treasurer is money
that came from Clark to bride mem
bers of The Legislature or it is money
put up by conspirators in plot to de-
feat Clark One side or the other is
guilty. Let the truth be known. Hon
est men have nothing to fear.
Destinations to answer are not likely
to ego" with the committee on privi-
leges and elections. MIR. Clark in Mon
tana could stubbornly refuse to answer
any question put to him in legal pro-
ceedngs, and he and his friends could
refuse to go on the stand and testify.
But the senate committee is not likely
to be content with 'refusals to an
swer." If a question is asked of wit
ness an answer will be expected and it
will be obtained.
1t is believed that the senate commit
tee will not only be able to compel an
swers TO questions, but II will succeed
in elicitlng the truth from witnesses.
They have habit of Furnishing perjur-
ers in Washington. Clark's money and
Hclena's grand juries are not likely to
help much in Washington those who
don't tell the truth.
Honest men in Montana will hope
that the senate committee will be sue
cessful In compelling the truth, no mat
ter whom the truth hurts. Again and
again the empty assertion has been
