Anxlo-saxon Socialists.
From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
1t is about time to revise the beliefs
commonly held by the American people
regarding the tendency of various ma
tionaities toward socialism. In recent
elections in this country the avoWed
socialists have shown more strength in
New England cities like Haverhill. New
Britain, New Haven, Bridgeport and
Lynn than they have manifested any
where in the West, where the foreign
elements of the population are many
and powerful. The native Americans
have been more inclined to vote that
way than the Germans Of Wisconsin or
the Scandinavians of Minnesota.
This is in harmony with the extremely
radical experiments made and appar-
emily approved by the self-governlng
British colonies of Australasia, where
the population is almost wholly of Brit
ish origin. The state ownership of rail-
roads, telegraphs and telephones is
practically universal. Some of the colo
MES insure their citizens against death,
others pensions them in old age. Many
loan money to settlers at low rates of
interest. All, in various ways, go far
beyond anything ever known in The
United States in the direction of pater-
nalism and state control of affairs left
to individuals in this country. These
Anglo-Saxon communities are outdoing
any of the continental powers of Eu-
rope in the socialistic experiments.
In the light of such facts it is only
fair to cease looking upon socialism as
an outgrowth of the feebieness or
wrong-headedness of the Germans, the
French, the Italians, or any other nom
English-speaking nationalities. 1t is in
the tendencies of the age rather than
in the blood or beliefs of any one part
of the human family.

RUIN Of THE COUNTRY
Governor Smiths Views on the
Question of Trusts.
CONTEMPT FOR THE LAW

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May Ex-Governor Smith to-
day sent to the editor of the st. Louis
Farm Machinery, a paper devoted to
agriculture, his views upon the quee-
ton of trusts. The governor prepared
the letter in response to an inquiry of
his opinion on the combination of cani-
tai. The governor, in deprecating the
trusts, says:
I'm compliance with your request CT
the 18th, I beg to state that l have
given much thought to the question of
trusts and the present industrial ten
dency OF the age. In the first place, 1T
is rsinous to our country and our peo-
pie by the determinations made in ia
yor Of trusts and against those who are
not in the trust. These determinations
beget contempt for the laws, and the
result is tendency toward disorder
and anarchy. In the second place, trusts
absolutely destroy the chance and op-
portunities Of the individual to make a
living or competency for himself and
most dangerous phases OF the trust is
the separation of our people into
classes.
The great middle class, the conser-
vative best element of our country, is
gradually being driven to the wall in
every department Of life: the small
merchant, the thrifty citizen, is being
ruined. The professional man must
either be in the service of or employ
of the trust or go without clients or
patrons able to support him. Trusts
dominate every avenue Of life and bust
ness and dictate such legislation as
may suit their individual interests.
But the worst feature Of combina-
tisns and trusts Is the destruction of
individual manhood and independence
in thought. The advocate of trusts
must assume one of these positions: he
must assume to act and think for 9th
ers in the control of their affairs, OF
he must assume the position of allow
ing others to think and act for him
He must be either master or servant
dictator or fawning, cringing syco-
plant, willing and ready to surrender
to the superior. The present tendency
of the age is to destroy and root out
the love of individual liberty, indepen.
dence and manhood, and every power
possible ought to be utilized to coun.
teract these pernicious results"

Mr.. lines Injured.

William lines, ST., father-in-law of
w. S. Hartman and Hon. C. S. Hart
man; met with an accident last Satur-
day which was almost fatal. He was
on a visit from his home in Butte and
had started out with a single rig be-
longing to w. S. Hartman, to inspect
his ranch on the reservation, near Fort
Ellis. AS he was crossing the bridge
at the foot of Cemetery hill, Ed Alder
son came up behind him with his team
of cayuses and literally ran over Mr.
lines and his horse and road cart,
throwing him out under the horses feet
and but for the assistance of Frank
Rennie of the Bozeman bar, who was
with Anderson. he might have been
killed. Rennie dragged Mr.. lines from
under the feet of the kicking horses
but not before he had received quite a
bruising up and scare. The rig, which
was new one, was in rather a delapi-
dated condition, the seat and sides were
smashed in and most of the wheels had
an outward or inward curve ito them.
Mr.. Anderson evidently could not have
known the width of the bridge or else
had very poor control over his horses,
for the accident was one that could
easily have been avoided with the exer-
else of little care on his part.

The Woes of the New Cop.

On Sunday night Nightwatchman JEFF
ferson Davis met his Waterloo in the
shape of a cheap jewelry vender. All
new policemen have to be initiated into
their jobs, and until they have had
little rough usage the ways of the law
breakers are an unknown quantity.
Policeman Davis was called into the
saloon of Swan Johnson on Sunday
night to arrest man for selling a gold
ring without license. He attempted
to make the arrest when Little, the Of
fender, objected strenuously to going to
the city bastile and literally put head
on Davis and would probably have
done him up for the time being if
Policeman Sipes had not put in an APP
pearance at an opportune moment and
changed the order of things.
