THE PLEA FOR CARTER.

The Inter Lake seems to be dis
turbed lest the Independent Demo-
cratic ticket gets more votes than the
republican ticket. The talk of elect
ing the Independent Democratic tick
et," it says, sis all wind" The Inter
Lake seems to overlook the fact that
there is no man who has been indict-
ed for malfeasance in public Office
asking for an election on the hide
pendent Democratic ticket, nor is
there. a man on that ticket who is
pledged to the support of slippery
Tom Carter" who, next to Clark, is
the most VIGOROUSLY corrupt politi-
clan nthis state. Yet, in full view
of Carriers undenied and undeniable
record as briber and boodler, the
Inter Lake has the impudence to ask
the votes of the Independent Demo-
Gratis for him. Verify, the enjoy
ment of little federal patronage
will impel men and newspapers to
strange lengths sometimes. The
truth of the matter is that the Inter
Lake sees he handwriting on the wall,
so far as the republican legislative
ticket is concerned, and is trying to
avert the inevitable by telling honest
people that they should not vote for
Boodler Clark, but that they should
vote for Boodler Carter. Voters who
want a republican boodler for Uni
ted States senator should follow the
Inter Lakes advice and vote for Car
ter's legislative ticket, and voters who
prefer democratic boodler should
vote for Clark's legislative ticket;
but voters who are opposed to hood
lers of all parties and who regard the
interests of this county as above
L.ark's ambition to again disgrace
| Montana and the ambition of lit
tie local coterie of republicans to con-
tinue in the enjoyment of Carriers

ton, will vote the Independent Dem
ocratc ticket.

According to the admission of the
Inter Lake, Mr.. Andrew Swaney, at
Columbia Falls, said that The old
soldiers needed the spectacle of "Old
Glory" waving for oppression in the
Philippines instead of for freedom for
the slaves in this country in order to
appreciate " the glory of the flag"
Which is, in effect, all that the Bee
charged Mr.. Swaney with having said
belittlement of the services of the
old soldiers, what was it! Mr.
Swaney's statement was, in effect,
that fighting for the preservation Of
the union and the liberation of A.
100000 slaves was not half SO glor-
ious and creditable an occupation as
fighting to impose upon the Fill
pinos a government which they do
no, want. The battles of Gettys-
burg and Antietam were utterly want
ing in the glory and honor which at
tached to the battles of Malolos and
Caloocan, according to Mr.. Swaney's
view of it. Most people, whether old
soldiers or not, will disagree with
notion that the glory of the stars
and stripes was initiated with his en-
hstment for service in the Philip
pines and ended when he was muster
ed out

Those who have charge of the
Clark Doodle are evidently holding
it off and there is a great kick among
the rank and file of the Doodle brig
AIDE. There seems to be a general
impression that the Clark legislative
ticket has not ghost of a show and
it is doubtful if all the Doodle in the
state could pull his Legislative ticket
through in this county. The Doodle
brigade is anxiously awaiting the re-
turn of Geiger from Butte.

the case against Mr.. Churchill any
worse than it really is. If Mr..
Churchill or any of his friends have
anything to say in eXtenuatiOn of his
record as county commissioner, which
in their judgment, will! justify the
taxpayers in overlooking that record

The Inter Lake has now switched
from "one of the best known and
most highly respected judges on the
Montana bench" to the Spokesman
Review as an authority for the asser-
ton that the republican candidate for
district judge has right to actively
canvas the county, and that the dem
ocratic candidate should remain at
home while the gentle Noffsinger
works his will upon the voters. Ad-
hitting, for the sake of the argu-
ment, that the Inter axe, the Spokes-
man-Review and President Nc
kinley are all right about the judg-
ship canvass, what must be the men,
tai and moral composition of the man
who would urge such an utterly alb
surd provision in behalf of his candi
dacy? AS matter of fact, it would

The following story is going the
rounds of the weary Clark workers
who are waiting for the opening OF
the ''vindication" barrel:
First WORKER don't believe that
Clark has any show in this county
anyhow. and he knows it and won't
send any stuff over here. 1t hasn't
got here yet, anyhow
Second Worker-Oh, yes. there's
going to be a barrel all right
enough. 1t is coming through Sam
Pratt.
First Worker-Sam Pratt? Huh,
1t may come to Sam Pratt. but it'll
never come through him.

Mr.. r. A. CHURCHILL'S RECORD.

Mr. T. A. Churchill one of the repub-
lican candidates for the legislature
has already a record as public Of
fetal of this county, and while the
Bee does not believe in dealing in
personal abuse, it nevertheless re-
CARDS the public record of any man
who is seeking another term of pub
lie office, proper matter for discus
sion, and a matter which ought to
be discussed in justice to the cleo
tors who pay the freight"
Mr.. Churchill was at one time a
commissioner of this county, and as
such was indicted for malleasance
in office by grand jury composed
of reputable citizens and taxpayers.
The charges embodied in that indict-
ment have never been disproyed.
When the case was called for trial
the defendant pleaded techpicality,
which in no say touched the ms II
Of the case gainst him. and the III
jictn.ent was 9uashed.
The general charge against Mr..
Churchill was that he, as a county
commissioner, had abused his trus:
and assisted in wilfully mlsmanaglng
the affairs of the county so that the
taxpayers have not yet recovered
from the burden of the debt place.,
upon them at that time.
In view of these undisputed facts
it is for the taxpayers of this county
to say if they are willing to again
make Mr.. Churchill the repository Of
their confidence and elect him to the
Office for which the republican party
have nominated him. So far as trs
Bee has been able to learn Mr.. Church.
i'll has never made any effort to
clear himself of the charges made
against him by the gentlemen who
composed the grand jury which in.
dicted him, but nevertheless the re-
publican party have again put him
forward as one of their candidates for
the legislature, as if in contempt of
public opinion.

Somebody up at Columbia Falls
has been jumping upon the Bee man
there for religious argument, and,
getting the worst of it, mas made a
roar through the columns of that
great moral ana religious newspaper,
the Inter Lake. People should be-
ware of stumping anyone connected
with the Bee for religious argument.
Every employee connected with this
newspaper is past master in theo-
logical disputation, from the devil up
TO the business manager. There is not
a point in the history of all religions,
from the philosophy of Confucius anu
re Moran, on down to the theory and
practice of divine healing, a la Schlat-
ter with which every member of the
Bee force is not familiar Thorough
familiarity with the religious tenets
OF every age and cline is the most
essential qualification Ior employees Of
the Bee. The author of Buffers An
alogy, the most profound religious
treatise eXtant is the business man.
ager of the Bee and other employees
of the paper have also distinguished
themselves in the same line. With
this explanation we trust the Column
bia Falls man will recover his self
esteem and not go up against the
worst of it again.

Several months ago the DesMoines
Globe gave as its editorial opinion that
the government Of this country should
be changed into limited monarchy.
This statement has been largely quoted
by democratic papers as being the utter
ance Of republican paper and adding to
this statement that theNew York Trib-
une. Sun, Chicago Times Herald, U. S.
Investor and other republican papers
had also given out the same opinions.
Mr.. George Peterson of this city took a
notion to investigate this statement, and
finds from autographic letters, and from
editorials printed in these papers, that
the DesMoines paper while it supports
Mckinley, is not in any sense party
organ, but claims its opinions for its own
and the other papers deny positively
either making any such statement or
agreeing with any such opinions.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND.
MNNTS.

Two constitutional amendments are to
be voted upon at the ensuing election.
Reduced from legal verbiage the first
provides for board of pardons, to con-
sist of the governor, chiet justice, attorney
general and two electors appointed by
the governor. The existing law puts all
the power of pardons solely in the hands
of the governor. A board like this re-
lieves the governor of what is often
disagreeable responsibility, and perhaps
would sometimes check the governor
from undue exercise of the pardoning
power. We would vote yes on. this
proposition.
The second constitutional amendment
puts into the constitution what is now
matter of statute law. 1t provides that
railroad, express, telegraph and other
similar carriers of persons, property or
messages be assessed by the state board
of equalization and the property valued
in proportion to the mileage in the coun-
ty, township or district through which it
passes. .4f
Under the present law local assessors
do not assess such property, but it is
done by the state board who certify to
the county auditor the number of miles
in the county, ETC., and he places it on
the tax lists accordingly. The only
difference in making this present statute
law part Of the constitution arises from
the fact that it takes two legislatures and
vote of the people to change the con-
stitution. while q statute can be changed
by auajority yete Of any legislature.
Personally, we do not like the law and
hence do not like the amendment Our
reason is better shown by example than
otherwise. For instance, in this county.
Midland and Carlisle townships and the
school districts within their boundaries
receive no direct benefit from rail.
road, telegraph or similar tax, and yet
each of these townships have railroad
running within short distance of their
western boundaries, with another road:
not far from the eastern boundary.
These townships and school districts do
just as much proportlonate1y to support
these railroads as the townships through
which the roads run, and are therefore
equally entitled to any benefit Of such
nature as taxation. However, the maxi
ing of statute, which seems to be the
wish of the people, as part of the con-
stitution. is not very great change.
We note in this amendment that sleep.
ing car companies, express companies
telephone companies, freight line COM
panies and car equipment companies are
mentioned and perhaps in order to get
tax from these, which have hitherto es-
capped taxation, it may be necessary to
put it in the constitution, and if so, why
it would be a good thing to vote for the
amendment.
