The Truth at Last.

& J HAT was said yesterday by the
/ \" Miner amounts to confession
and a ludicrous one at that
ito the effect that, all this time, its pratt
ing about the public interest is hypoc-
risy and that in truth it's selfish zeal
has been to defeat Mayor McCarthys
nominee for the office of city attorney.
The Miner admits in so many words
that its personal fight has been on this
candidate, and the Miner seeks to just
ify its course by the astounding admis-
sion that it is unjust to the taxpay-
ers', to have Mr.. Lamb in the office OF
city attorney because he is one of the
thirteen democrats in the recent legisla-
ture who did not sell their votes to w.
A. Clark!
If Mr.. Lamb had permitted himself
to be bribed for Clark there isn't
doubt in the world that the Miner would
be for him. The Miner appears to for
get what happened recently. Good dem
ocrats who were members of the legisla-
ture stood up in the joint session and
declared that the reason why they We're
voting against w A. Clark was that
they had refused to be bribed. Other
democrats known and respected in this
state publicly asserted that they had
received money in princely sums which
they declared was given to them as the
price which was supposed to buy their
votes for Clark. Thirty thousand dol
lars are now on deposit with the treas
urer of Montana, handed in by men
whom this state respects, and who
made affidavit that it was money given
them as bride by an agent of w. A.
Clark.
The amazing position of the Miner is
that a man who voted with the un-
bribed minority in the Montana legisla-
ture is a man whose service in office is
not good for the taxpayers! The Clark
organ would have 1t appear that it is
to a citizens discredit that. as a mem
her of the legislature. he stood true and
unbought with other members who pub
licly declared that they voted against
Clark because they had refused to be
bribed to vote for him. You can't per-
suade the Butte public that it is bad
thing to have in a municipal office a
man who came out of the legislature
free of Clark bribery or the suspicion
of it.

THE CALL
Made by Members of the Committee in
Charge of the Dewey Fund.

Made by Members of the Committee in
Charge of the Dewey Fund.
Following is the text of the call issued
by the Dewey fund committee and re-
ferred to elsewhere on this page of the
Standard:
The American people are anxious to do
honor to Admiral Dewey. Their zeal has
taken the form of invitations to banquets
in many different cities, of celebrations,
parades and displays. The common sense
of our countrymen does not find suitable
expression for it's admiration and esteem
for our great naval hero in methods effer-
vescent and transient. A grateful nation
cannot do better than provide literally fer
Admiral Dewey's comfort in a home fit
ting to his tastes. worthy in some meas
ure of his services and indicative in a
slrall degree of the gratitude which is not
of day, but of all time. A popular sub
scription will afford all the privilege to
join in such testimonial, in which pa
triotism will have a monument.
On his return from the scene of his vic
tories and his craftsmanship the official
duties of Admiral Dewey will be perform
ed in Washington. He should have A
home there. The national capital cannot
fail to have attractions for him in the
present and the future. For winter res
idence during his life he can hardly finl
more desirable place. 1t is for a home
for Admiral Dewey in Washington that
subscriptions are invited.
Subscriptions may be sent at once 20

passions to get the better of his judg-
ment. He is saying some very harsh
things OF the oiShop--he virtually calls
him liar. Bishop Potter stated sub
stantiany that DR.. Briggs book was
to become text book in the classes
of Roman Catholic seminaries,' he
said to New York Herald reporter,
land as such be used in the doctrinal
teachings of the Roman Catholic
church. That statement and the in
ference ii conveys are absolutely false
from beginning to end and Bishop Pot
ter knows it to be false" That is
strong language for a doctor of divin-
ity to apply to his bishop. 1t is the
kind of talk which, coming from a
clergyman, does the cause Of religion
infinitely more harm than any quanti-
ty of Dr. Briggs higher criticism"
The whole episode is regrettable. The
best thing DR.. De Costa and his anti
the situation in a broad Christian
spirit, reserving to themselves, of
course, the right of private opinion.
DR.. Briggs has been admitted into the
church and is entitled to freedom from
criticism until he gets to working at
cross purposes with the Episcopalian
leaders. 1t is not at all likely that he
will prove to be such disturbing ele-
ment as DR. De Costa. Certainly a
savage attack on the great-hearted
Bishop Henry C. Potter will not help
De Costa's contention. @,

The Fund for Dewey.

Standard will be promptly accounted
for. 1t will be seen, from the reading
of an announcement printed elsewhere
on this page, that the committee at
Washington promises to make ultimate
acknowledgement to each subscriber in
the form Of receipt which will carry
a portrait of Admiral Dewey, thus fur
nishing a souvenir that will be treas
ured.
We presume that several Of the news
papers Of the state will take pleasure
in joining the Standard in this matter
Of gathering contributions and ac-
counting for them. So that all may
be done in order the Standard sug-
gests that the newspapers report the
names of subscribers and remit the
amounts received to any member of the
supreme court Of Montana, and thus
let the supreme court be the custodian
of all funds subscribed, RENTING the
same to the committee at Washing
ton, together with the subscribers
names. so that the Dewey portrait re-
ceipt may be available for all. We
suggest this because it will simplify
both the collection and the remittance
of the Montana fund.
Various views are expressed in re-
cent dispatches from Washington cor
respondents in regard to this fund-it
is proper to take notice of them at this
Dewey's wish is to retire to his native
state and town and make his home
there. By others it is intimated that
he does not wish to be the recipient of
the proposed gifts. These are rumors;
probable it is that he will understand
the spirit in which the fund Is raised
and accept it, as seems altogether
proper, in the spirit that prompts the
givers. AT any rate the fund is ac-
cumulating. States are responding
cheerfully and, apparently with gener-
osity Be 1t larger or smaller. what
ever Montana gives will be gladly
given; the Standards anticipation is
that the total number of modest con-
| tributors will be large.
| There must be a beginning-some-
| body must lead off. Believing it to be
| the nopuIar idea that the mace shall 50
be set that each may give modestly and
all be able to give something, the
Standard offers subscription of twen-
| ty-five dollars, as starter, it being
understood, Of course, that this office
will gladly increase its subscription
many fold if a disposition is evinced by
the public to have this states total gift
J run UP to large figure.

They're After Bishop Potter.

~HE reception of Dr. Briggs into
full fellowship in the Episcopal
church did not end the Briggs
controversy by any means. On the
contrary the good Episcopal clergy
men who size up the doctor as a dan
gereus hereto are filled with what they
believe to be righteous wrath. They
are openely talking of bringing i'm
parchment proceedings against Bishop
Potter for permitting the ordination.

90 Y what appears to be sort of
u common consent, a plan has
been arranged for the collection
in the United States of a fund that is to
be used for the purchase of mouse for
Admiral Dewey. There have been plans
and plans, the popular wish manifestly
preston of the public's esteem but, at
first, there was no method for har-
monious action. Under that condition
of affairs, the suggestion made by the
Standard, several days ago, was that
Montana wait until the movement took
definite form.
Public opinion seems to have found
a way in which it can express itself.
The suggestion made first, we believe,
home suitably equipped be obtained in
the city of Washington and presented
to Admiral Dewey, this fund to be the
proceeds Of popular subscription. The
committee that was the outgrowth of
this suggestion operates under the
sanction of the general government The
members of the committee are Frank
A. Vanderlip, assistant secretary of the
treasury; Charles H. Allen, assistant
| secretary of the navy; Brigadier Cen
eral Henry C. Corbin, Perry S. Heath.

Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer Of the
| United States.
| This committee is recommended by
large number of organ mutations
| throughout the country, and the plan
| for the purchase of the Dewey home
finds general approval. OF course other,
good plans have been proposed but it
is best, as the Standards Judgment is,
| to fall in with what seems to be the
| popular preference. AIT the recent
meeting of the Associated Press, the
proposed plan and the members of the
committee were cordially commended
