The silly filings of the democratic press
thai Mr.. Mantle's support of the McKin-
ley administration was purchased by his
appointment as a member of the ma
tional industrial commission, ought to
find a rebuke in the fact that the ex-
senator has resigned that position. As
has heretofore been explained in these
columns the commission was made up
at the outset on a strictly n~on-partisan
basis, members of different political or
CARNATIONS having been appointed. Mr..
Mantle. then a member of the senate,
was appointed as a representative of the
silver republicans. His resignation is
due to the personal attention which his
business affairs require, nj which has
made it impossible for him to devote his
time to the work of the commission.

IGNORANCE ACKNOWL

Quite unwittingly the Anaconda Stand
ard pokes fun at the Boston Herald for
seriously stating that the Butte Miner
appears to be an organ of the Clark
democracy. The ignorance of the Her.
aid, in not knowing the status of the
Miner, and being compelled to guess at
it, strikes the Standard as very funny.
But, as a matter of fact, it teaches a
valuable lesson. The Herald is one of
the ablest and best posted papers in the
ance of political affairs in Montana it is
q standing illustration of the great ma
jority of the newspapers which are so
fippantly discussing conditions in this
state.
Ninety-nine newspapers out of every
hundred which are trying to mold public
opinion as to the merits and dement's Of
the Clark case, and the political situa-
tions in this state, are even more ignor-
ant of the facts than the Boston Her.
aid. 1t requires very little knowledge Of
affairs to draw moral conclusions from
assumed premises, hence a tidal wave of
comments relative to the status of things
in this state. Were the press of the
| country as fair-minded as they are
stupidity honest-as diligent after the
facts as they are enthusiastic in draw
ing moral conclusions-their comments
on Montana would broaden out into new
channels of political corruption, and new
fields would be exploited to the edifica-
ton of the American public.
With a knowledge Of only one sidt
of our controversial politics-and tina
knowledge warped and incomplete-they
are in the position of the mob that erie.
for the blood of an accused man withou
knowing the environments of the crime
or the elements of self-defense which
may have entered into it. The Boston
Herald, in supplementing it's wise essay
on the morals of Montana with an n
territorial confession of it's ignorance o
Montana affairs, affords a lesson in jour
nalistic equity which the fair-minde'
would do we'll to heed.

OEcEIYyh6 THE people

With their usual habit of making as
sertions which they cannot prove. both
the Anaconda Standard and the Butte
Miner declare that the eclipse of the
sun actually took place in this city as
advertised. though willing, to admit that
the performance was held behind closed
doors.
Our contemporaries had pledged their
scientific reputation on the statement
that the moon would pass between Butte
the sun a little after s o'clock yes
terday morning. and that the sinanf'in
the moon would undoubtedly make a
holy show of himself during the exer-
cises. ! M
AS the result of the efforts of our con-
temporaries to make the entertainment
a complete success, and to show that ad-
vertising in their columns pays, they
succeeded in persuading all their read
ers-one thousand men, women and chill
dren-to get up before breakfast and
witness the dramatic scene without any
extra expense for box rent.
AS usual with all transactions of, a
public character with which u con-
! contemporaries have to do, the situation
| was decidedly cloudy.
The one thousand persons who got up
before the alarm clock went of to see
the eclipse were gold bricked.

person lost one hour, and just that much

Had there been no clouds to obscure
the sky, the exhibition would not have
been first-class in any respect.
The fact is, the line of the moons
shadow was too far south, or Montana
was too far north to make the show 9
success.
Whether the fault lay with the moor
or Montana is a question which the sci,
entists alone "a answer.
AS it was, however, the

large a scale.
The black streak across the sun which
might have been observed by the way

than the equally black streaks which
the Standard and the Miner have paste'
across the respective characters Of thei
rival political factions. y .t

would have struck the average reade

THE trust question, to which you are de-

very greatest and really the only problem
that the Americans have to solve. Regret
fully, you seem TO see only one side Of the

you apply to the trust also applies equally
well to improved machinery, and yet you
would not destroy that.
Il have carefully studied the conditions
and the many remedies offered by various
parties and factions. and II seems to me
that co-opera tion--sociaism- the only
practical and the only possible remedy"
