Mark Twain made a mistake in having
Louis and back, when he should have
located that great financier at the head
Of the state government in Montana, in
stead of leaving the impression that he
was of Missouri descent. Upon the au-
thority of the democratic press it is
learned that Governor Smith would
have called an extra session of the legis-
lature to provide more revenue" had the
state not expected to secure at least
$40, 900 inheritance tax from the Davis
estate!
he attorney general of the state and
the bank examiner are now in this city
to see if Butte cannot help out the bal
ance of the state government, as we'll as
the legislative branch. The estate has
paid into the state treasury $4,000, and
if no more money is secured it follows,
from the statements imputed to the gov
ernor, that an extra session will be neces-
sary to provide revenues to keep the ship
of state afoat.
IL Will strike the public as passing
strange that the question of an extra
session of the Legislature hinges upon
what the state expected to secure from
estate in litigation. So the Davis es-
tate is expected to protect the demo-
cratic administration from the humiliat-
ing spectacle of an extra session. of the

for keeping Montana's chin above water

In estimating the unoccupied space in
Montana, when figuring on the question
or population, the Helena Independent
overlooks the fact that a large portion
of this state is turned up to the sky in
the shape of mountains. Some years
ago the New York Sur advised the silver
miners of the west to raise potatoes on
their claims if they couldn't make silver
pay, bu our Helena contemporary ought
to realize that a good many square miles
in Montana will never be inhabited by
anything more formidable than wild
game. IN measuring population this
state cannot be placed in the same class
with those sections where every acre can
be made to produce food. q

cIVL SERVICE REGULATIONS.

The presidents order exempting 4.0O(
government employees from the operation
of the civil service laws is hailed by the
democratic press as q reversion Of the
policy of the republican party. Having
been the champion and advocate of such
laws, Mr.. Mckinley is accused of insin-
cerity and a desire to strengthen his po-
dltical fences by flirting with the old
Jacksonian idea that 'to the victor be-
longs the spoils.'
With customary unfairness the organs
OF the democracy carefully avoid the con-
sideration of details that fully Justify the
step taken. The president has in no re-
spect done violence to the practical op-
erations of the civil service laws, but he
has strengthened their effectiveness by
exempting positions that never should
have been classified under such rules and
regulations.
Changes in the heads of departments
necessarily take place with an incoming
administration. in order to enable it to
successfully carry out the policy to
which it is publicly pledged. Civil SER
vice laws have protected the subordinate
positions from changes of a political
character. But the heads of DEPART
ments have experienced no little embar-
rassment from hold-over private secre-
tarles and clerks and confidential men,
IN whom it was necessary to repose the
details of the management of the several
departments. As the head OF a DEPART
ment is responsible for the manner in
which it is conducted, and finds no pro-
lection for his own incompetency under
the civil service laws, some discretion
should be permitted in the selection of
the confidential employees who are en-
trusted with the plans of management.
By way of illustration of this idea. in !
a local way, the city treasurer of Butte
is responsible for thep proper handling of
the funds entrusted to his care. Were he
compelled to accept as a trusted assist
ant a man selected by another, and who
rs not IN personal sympathy with his
plans and purposes as a public officer, it
can readily be seen that the situation
might become an embarrassing one, in !
imical to the public good. But suppose
the demands of the office required an
army of b~ookkeepers and typewriters ,
and tranScriberS, and other ubordinat fec !
whose work required skill and training.
though of a routine character and not in |
volving the handling of the funds of the |
city. would it not best serve the public
to retain such employees year in and year
out on their good behavior?
President Mckinley has merely an
piled this principle to the departmental
service of the government. He has ex-
empted the assistants and confidential
men from the operations Of the civil SER
law, giving to the heads Of the de-
partments an opportunity to. do more eff
fective work for the government through
the agency OF men in close sympathy
with their plans. This step on the part
of the president strengthens the official
tenure of men in subordinate positions,
carries out the real spirit and pur-
pose of the civil service laws, by reducing
to the minimum and insuring the
best work of which a department may be

Frederick Warde. the most affable
and accommodating actor, the prince
or good fellows and an all around
square man, yesterday. for the second
time in this city, addressed the school
| teachers and others in the High school
auditorium. There would have been
twice as many present had the room
been twice as large Every seat was
taken before the eminent actor, accom-
panied by Rabbi Eisenberg and Super
intendent of City School Hendricks, ap-
peared. When he did appear there was
an ovation akin to demonstration. He
gracefully bowed his acknowledgment
OF the greeting. He. the rabbi and the
superintendent took seats on the right
hand platform. Rabbi Eisenberg in
troduced Mr.. Warde with some felicit-
GUS remarks, characterizing him as
the incarnation of the greatest genius
of all time, Shakespeare
Mr.. Warde said he was pleased to
speak to the teachers and their friends
assembled.
THE OCCASION" said he, sis signifi-
cant as here on one platform are ranged
church and the stage. the three great
est factors in civilized mankind. 1t is
expressive of a mutual feeling existing
among these potent Institutions and it
is a demonstration that the stage ought
to be recognized in the advance of
modern civilization. In our nature
there are three stages, the spiritual,
material and intellectual. The spirit
ual qualities in our natures make us
aDDreciatp tha jf,1l ta
sublime. The foundation Of art in our
nature is builded upon truth, and what
is truth but nature itself? The great
ness of Shakespeare is due to the fidel-
lty to nature, and his fame will be
green and fresh in the memory of man
kind when the pyramids crumble to
dust and after their existence has long
been forgotten
Then the speaker gave a brief yet
very interesting sketch of Shakes
peare's life, beginning at his birth,
April 49, 1870. and relating the con-
spicuous events in his career up to the
time of his death, April %, 1916. He

had no children, hence there were no

perpetuity with their distinguished
presence. The famous actor recitad

was any one in the room who has not

Imnortant Case necide Il.

Sioux City, Iowa. March PA decision
affecting several millions dollars worth of
real estate here has been rendered by
District Judge Wakefield. The eight
original owners of the townsite of Sioux
City sold their land without providing the
purchasers with releases of their wives
dover interest The tract. as disposed Of
embraces 60 to 100 blocks in the present
heart of the city. About a year ago heirs
of the original owners sued to establish
their alleged one-third interest in the title
to the land. AS the most important of the
cases the action brought by Henrietta
Jackson against Joseph and Sigmund
Schulein was made test. In deciding
the case Judge Wakefield ruled that the
first proprietors were partners and had
the right to give legal titles without re-
leasing their dover rights, as they would
have been compelled to do had they acted
individually. Mrs. Jackson accordingly
asks to dismiss her case. This would have
let her free to commence another, how
ever. so the Schuleins insisted on decree
quitting title which was entered The de-
clsion disposes of all the cases.
