ROSS RIDDEN COUNTRY

Cnde the above head the Boston Her.
aid points to a constantly growing evil
in the United States, as follows:
The country is producing bosses with
amazing %fecundity. Great and small,
they are springing up everywhere. The
people tolerate and support with a docll-
ity that does 10 credit to popular intelli-
gence or character. They are a curious
development of political life in a republic.
One might presume that the indispens-
able qualification of an influential politi-
clan in a land of freedom and free schools
would be intelligence regarding public
affairs. 1t is not necessary. The conspi-
cuous trait of many politicians who are
notably successful in organizing voters
to carry elections is that they have no
ideas regarding public affairs for which
they care a fig. They do not organize
victory on the basis of ideas. They pro-
TESS no principles which they are not
ready to recant if for any reason they
become unpopular. They are devoted
to no causes that greatly concern the
general warfare. AS for generous aspira-
lions, they do not know what is meant
by the phrase in it's application to politics..
1t is unfortunate that the Herald does
not prescribe some remedy for ar evil
that is more or less conspicuous in every
community. hat it is becoming almost
intolerable in some communities, goes
sentiment accepts the situation with
some degree of philosophy, patiently
awaiting a condition of circumstances
that will bring about a change.
Bossism in politics is a relic of barbar-
ism that cannot be abated until the aver
age intelligence Of the people reaches a
degree of development where the thought
less will become thinkers. Confidence in
the professions of a boss is an easy shift
for the man who recognizes his own ig-
norance and who really cares little for
the essential properties of government.
Comparatively few people think for
themselves. and the public schools make
slow Roadway in cultivating that desir-
able habit.
in a given locality are ignorant, and lack
the capacity to hin and understand for
themselves, they will turn to a boss with
all the confidence that a drowning man
reaches out after a floating plank. Until

public affairs, and is influenced by his
honest convictions rather thar by the
pressure of financial considerations of a

WILL SOON ARRIVE IN BUTTE.

The safe arrival of the Montana volun-
teers at San Francisco brings pleasure
to the heart of every man, woman and
child in the Treasure state. 1t is graft
flying to know that there are but few on
the sick list, and that the rigors of war
have been undergone with fortitude by
all.
To men accustomed to the health
giving ozone of the Rockies and the
charms of our u~nequalled climate, the
hardships of field work under a tropical
sun came with unusual force. That the
privations of army life, and %fatigues Of
camp and contest, did not prove far more
disastrous to our volunteers must be at
tributable, in no small degree, to the
natural healthfulness Of the climate in
the Philippines.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances. an extreme of climate to which
one is unaccustomed is a severe strain
on the human system, but when the bur-
dens of military life are added it becomes
a most heavy tax on the physical
strength of a a It is therefore a
matter of congratulation that so few
Montanians succumbed to climatic in
luences in the Philippines.
In a short time the boys will be mus
tered out and start for Butte. 1t is I'M

situation in San Francisco, and ample
notice will be given Of the movements or
the volunteers, and the exact date when
the celebration in honor Of their return
will take place in Butte.

proved highly satisfactory. That the
commissioners admit, but how far they
can apply what they have learned to the
construction of the isthmian canal, it is
impossible to say yet, or ever for a long
time to come. Before they can make
any report on their tour that will be of
any use at all, it will have to be decided
where the canal has to be made and
what route it is to take. For that pur-
pose they will spend all next winter on
the isthmus. Then when the route of
the canal is decided upon they will be
able to make use of the information they
have gained in advising upon it's con-
struction. The commissioners seem to
have been immensely struck by the clev-
erness with which the kiel and Man
chester canals have been built. These
canals they very carefully.
After their abors a voluminous report on
the whole canal question will have to be
very carefully prepared. That will take
a considerable time. 1t will assuredly
be some years yet before a start on the
construction of the canal can be hoped
for.

THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF II.

It was intimated in the Geographic
columns of the Inter Mountain last even
ing that the representatives of anti-ex-
pansion newspapers were eager to inter-
view the returning Montana volunteers,
in order, il possible, to get expressions
here and there hat could be distorted in
to criticisms of the policy of the federal
government in the Philippines. There
was nothing either new or strange in this
movement on the part of the anti-expan-
sion press, as such a course has been in
variably pursued upon the arrival of
troops at San Francisco.
Without exception, the arrival of trans
ports with volunteers furnished by the
several states has been characterized by
! the efforts of men representing democrat
soldier, here and there. a statement
which could be made to appear as a re-
Election upon the national administration,
when satisfactorily dressed up" for pub
LEGATION and placed under 1aring head
lines in the columns of a newspaper. In
terviews Of this type, heretofore pub
lished upon the arrival Of volunteers,
show that if any soldier could be found
who had a grievance against any officer,
who discovered that war and it's hard
ships were more than he had counted on
at the time of his enlistment and VINO
seemed to have taken unkindly to the
burdens he was compelled to wear, a crit
icism was coaxed from his lips and her
aided from one end of the ountry to the
other, in the column of the bourbon
press, as a reflection upon the military
policy of the government.
That the same tactics will be pursued
with the landing of the Montana vol
0nteers is already in evidence, and If a
lot of cock-and-bull stories are not sent
broadcast over the LAM it will be because
no disgruntled soldier can be found
among the brave men who have SO nobly
sustained the proud name of the Treas.
ure state in the Philippines. 1t can be
depended upon, that if no such interview
appear it will not be through any lacE
of effort on the part of the democratic
newspapers.
1t is unpleasant to call attention to thi.
phase of the situation, but the method.

tives Of the anti-expansion press justif,

LICENSING THE BARRIERS.
the union.

Michigan has a new law which provides
for the licensing of BARRIERS to practice
their vocation.
A state commission will examine candi- !
dates for admission to the profession Of
the theory and practice of the distribu-
a satisfactory examination will here
after be permitted to change the facial
expression of the public.
Proficiency in the use of the razor will
be one of the requirements under the
new law. as we'll as a knowledge OF the
best methods of disinfecting the sundry
tools used in a barber shop. and thus pre-
vent the spread of disorders.
These provisions seem to be in line
with the public welfare, and are sug-
gestive of the idea of history repeating
itself, inasmuch as the ancient barber
was supposed to be as well qualified to
| administer a dose Of ipecac or squills,
| saw off a leg, or pull a tooth, as he was
to assume the lesser responsibility of re-
! moving the nlrSute tuTl lEOll tle pAdSlO
countenance of man.
The Michigan law is doubtless the out
! growth of a sentiment in favor Of wider
knowledge on the part of the barber,
which will exclude from the vocation men
who acquired their education running a
lawn mower.
Those latent qualities in the barber
which enables him to remove a lonesome
and desultory whisker without severing
an artery, will be brought out and fully
developed under the Michigan law.
Whether the law requires a civil SER
vice examination as to the BARRIERS
knowledge of the race course, the cock
pit, the prize ring, billiard tournaments,
and the like, so that he will be able to
learnedly set forth important facts which
the public-spirited citizen in his grasp
has a right to have included in his bill,
remains to be seen.
The full text of the new law will be
awaited with interest.
