The Minneapolis journal Of the 22nd
inst. contains the following item of in
tcrcst: Senator Carter of Montana will
be- retired from the senate by the legis-
laturc of his state next year. but that
does not mean that he will be retired
from public life. lie is very close to
President Mckinley. and for many
years, even from the time when the
president was in congress, has been one
of that gentlcman's trusted friends and
advisers. just what he will get in the
shuttle nobody yet knows, but that he
will have his pick of what places re-
main is conceded. Similarly, senator
Wplcott of Colorado, should lac desire
to remain in public life. will be taken
care Of lie. too, will be retired from
'''' H''''tS 'l'Nt hhl'H Wy an unlTicHulE
Legislature. Wolcott, IL is said. might
20 into the cabinet if he desired TO do
80. or he might go abroad. So far as
he has expressed himself, however. he
is inclined 10 tlinl, that hr prefers to
retire to private life; and. being quite
wealthy. he can do this without suffer
ing in any way"

WOULD CLARK BE SEAILD?

Already the eastern press is speculate

1t is certain that ii will prove no tohog-

THE SOLID S0UIH.
Smashed by Republicans in the Last
Election.
Isl LouIs Glole Democrat.l

ISt Louis Globe Democrat
President Mckinley carried Della
ware, Maryland and West Virginia.
He won substantial pluralties in all
OF them. He won every one Cf the ex-
slave states which he carried in 1896
except Kentucky, and Kentucky was
lost to him by the dishonesty Of the
methods OF theiunta who are running
the Democratic machinein that state.
The Republicans carried these three
states in 1896, and nlso Kentucky.
They have been carried by the Repub-
Leans In some state cnnvusses like
wise.
This means that tie solid South il
ended for good. West Nirginin, with
out question, will he a Republican
state in large majority Of the can
vases hereafter. Delaware is likely
to be carried by the Republicans three
out every four times hpncefOrth under
any division between the parties like
that which prevailed in either Cleye-
lands or Bryan's days. Maryland,
OF course, can always he counted on
to I've Republican whenever the iinan-
cial system Of the country IL menaced,
as il was in 1896 and 1900. Kentucky
will hc doubtful state in most of
the canvasses Of the future. Under II
fair election law Missouri would have
been Republican in 1900, and the re-
peal Cl the Ncshit law between this
/ time and the canvass oi 1901 IL not
among the impOssibiities
The breaking Of the solid South is
n great thing for that section and for
| the country. In the recent canvas
the Baltimore Sun appealed to Balti-
more ana Maryland to go Democra-
tic on the plea that desertion OF the
Democracy would take away Souths
trade from that city and state. The
papers in Richmond, Atlanta, New
Orleans and some of the other south
crn cities copied the Suns appeal and
indOrsed it. Baltimore and Maryland
however, did just the opposite wha,
the sun asked them to do. Both hav,
been carried by the Republicans, ant
both will unquestionably be benefited
In business way by the evidence o
political sanity which they hav
shown. Baltimore's bank clearing
, will be larger in 1901 than they hay
been in 1900, and her citizens will hav
n respect at home and n prestige i
, the rest OF the country, even in tn
5 southern states, such as they hav
e not had heretofore. Baltimore an
a, Maryland did nobly.

The ARGUS is well aware that il is
difficult TO enforce certain laws without
the support of healthy, determined
public sentiment. II also recognizes
the fact that Montana is quite different
from Massachusetts, and other long
settled commonwealths of the east Yet
we know that the better element of
Lewistown and Fergus county are anx-
ious to see the law against gambling
enforced and rigidly So Gambling dens
and low dives are the breeding places
for criminals, as the history of crime in
Fergus county will give ample proof.
Gambling also sustains lot Of loafers
who add nothing to the material or So
cial welfare of "A community; like
wolves, they are Of no value themselves;
they are simply watching for easy prey.
Nine times ont uf ten the money seen
on the gambling table represents some
ones hard ear ings. The fact that it
circulatcs for n time among the dew
otccs of the green cluthdoes not prove
that it is their own lawful money. The
sucker or the fellow 'who thinks he
can gamble" has simply gone out to
earn more money to keep the loafers
secretaries and "hop fendS" alive.
True, there are some fairly good citi-
zcns who gamble little but such men
have too much honor TO even attempt a
justification of the practice and would
prefer To sec the temptation removed.
The fathers and mothers of Lcwistown
cannot afford to be Indifferent in this
matter, II they do they may regret it
in "A very few years. With their boys
budding into manhood they should
guard well the influences that surround
them. There is no evil 50 fascinating
as gambling and when the initgtory
step is taken moral suasion is of little
avail. Better see that a just law is en-:
forced before they take the fatal step.
When the people of Montana voted to
suppress gambling they meant it. Let
the law be enforced.

A determined woman from the west Wis
tied Washington not long ago for the pur-
pose of interviewing a member OF the cab
met on a subject OF interest TO her. She
called, as it happened, just at the time when
the frauds in the Cuban postal department
were made public, and the majority Of the
presidents advisers, absorbed in consider
ing the matter, had given instructions that
they were not to be disturbed.
80 you refuse to take my card to the sec
retary?" asked the determined lady of the
messenger.
ut would be against my orders, and l
don't dare to-" replied the messenger, po-
litely.
The visitor turned away in high dudgeon,
but a happy thought occurred to her and she
retraced her steps. Here my man." she
said, insinuatingly, "here is so cents. Now
will you take my card in

CREDIT SIZE DIDN'T SEEK.
Em Position OF an Absent-
Minded Woman Who Had Made
Mistake.

A lady who keeps a summer boarding
house at the seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house over
and find out what must be renewed. She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
bosrders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
to Boston to have them repaired. She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for
got her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the coun-
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started off.
Then the owner of the umbrella, a wom-
an standing next her, seized her and said
very sharply: You have taken my UNI
brella." OF course she apologized, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget
ting in her fuster her own bundle OF UNI
brellas. The next day, on her way to Cam
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package Of umbrellas,
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed a lady cycling her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant en-
phasis:
"You seem to have been more fortunate
today"
1t was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.
