County Had No Saloons.

AUDUBON, Ia, Feb. HI. H. Abrams
furnished the State Register with a list OF
counties in which the saloons were operating
up to this week, when the supreme court
decision would stop them, and he put Audi
bon county in the list. This is wrong, for
Audubon county has had no saloons since
Judge Macy a few months ago decided that
the. mulct petition passed in November, 1898
did not have the required number of signers.
That case has gone to the supreme court and
will be passed on there. The point involved
was whether names could be removed by
counter petition after the petition of consent
was opened by the Board of Supervisors.
The court decided it could, and this was
appealed from. But the county has not had
saloons since then, and will not have mulct
saloons, unless the decision is reversed or
a new petition prevails. The attempt to get
a petition through last November failed.

General Byers. 1t provides tor the organiza-
ton Of the new national guard along the
lines laid out in the governors biennial
message, except that the office Of colonel ia
continued elective, whereas the governor
recommended that it be left vacant, so that
when emergency arose it could be filled by

vides that in war times the governor shall
draw the pay of a ranking colonel for the

SERIOUS WORK DEMANDED.

In view of the urgent need of con-
scientious les slative work and in the
hope that the hot-heads of the next
legislative assembly will be suppressed
by the more conservative ana patriotic
members, the Inter Mountain is one of
those newspapers which does not hope
to see the election of two democratic
senators end in a dissraceful fiasco and
scandal. Neither does it hope for the
election of two men who are incompe-
tent or unfit for the work required of
them. or whose aim is to promote their
own interests regardless of the public
welfare. The selection of unfit men for
the senate by the fusionsts would be
no triumph for the republicans of Mon>
tana. Since the latter We're defeated,
they hope for the election of two men
who are permanently identified with the
interests of the state, who take pride
in its development and its good name,
who expect to live here and raise their
families here: who are closely identified
with the people in all their interests and
aspirations, and who in Washington
would give personal attention to their
public duties and be credit to the
state Since me can not have two re-
publicans to meet these demands, let us
hope for the election of democrats who
will, aside from politics. be equally rep
resenta tive of the intelligence. charac-
ter and patriotism of the citizenship
of Montana; who are able and willing to
use their influence for the states benefit;
who have no ambition except to prove
themselves worthy of the peoples con-
tidence.
If the election of two such senators
can be accomplished in an orderly and
creditabe manner, the legislature will
have abundant time to turn its atten-
ton to state matters requiring settle
law that will stand the test Of the courts.
and to such other subjects of legislation

THE CENTURY.s GREATEST MEN.

There has. of late been discussion
enough over the selection of names for
the Hall of Fame to give the ordinary
citizen ready command of pretty good
list of American notables, varying ac-
cording to the opinion Of each individual.
Now comes the New York Herald with
its own list of the fifty greatest men of
the century, without reference to coun-
try. A considerable number of the
properly belonging in such a list, but
aside from these, the Herald's selection
is about as unsatisfactory as any that
has been presented. The list is as fol-
lows:
Abraham Lincoln. L. S. Grant, Horatio
Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Otto Won
| Bismarck, William E. Gladstone, Napo-
leon l. Helmuth Won Moltke, Louis
Adolphe Thers, Benjamin Disraeli, John
Henry Newman, David Livingstone
Daniel Webster Charles Darwin, Helm
rich Heine, Alexander Dumas pere,
Charles Stewart Parnell John Stuart
Mill, Albert Bertel Thorwaldsen, Ernest
| Meissonier, NJ. Fortuny, Edwin Booth,
Thomas jefferson, Goethe Wagner,
! Beethoven. Schiller, Daguerre, Froebel,
Farady, Humboldt, George Wilhelm
Friedrich Hegel, Elias Howe. Louis Pas
teur, Thackeray, Walt Whitman, Haw-
thorne, Tennyson, James Russell Low
ell, Longfellow, Emerson, Coleridge,
Huxley, Carlyle, Byron, Walter Scott.
Browning, Dickens, Balzac and Victor
| Hugo.
It will be observed for one thing, that
| Robert f. Lee whose name is included
in the Hall of Fame list, is omitted from
this one Walt Whitman is included
while Edgar Allen Poe is omitted.
1t seems impossible to compile such q
list as will be satisfactory to the lead
| ing thinkers of our time. and yet it has
been observed that the attempt has 6
good effect, owing to the interest ere
ated and additions to the general infor
nation that the discussion gives.
