WILL THE VOTERS "soTHER?"

OF all the questions which the Bee
submitted to Governor Toole when he
spoke here last Tuesday night, he an
swered but one, and that one was per-
sonal to himself. He was in position
to brand as false the charge implied in
that question and he did so. He said he
would not bother" with the other ques-
tions, although they were related to mat
ters in which the electors are vitality
interested and to matters which Cover
nor Toole discusses in nearly all of his
campaign speeches this year.
Governor Toole, who is seeking the
highest Office within the gift of this state
upon platform which expresses pride
in the senatorial career of w. A. Clark,
found it expedient to deny charge
which impugned his personal independ-
ence, but would not bother" to say
whether or not he believed w. A. Clark,
to whom he owes his nomination, guilty
OF bribery and perjury.
Governor Toole would not bother" to
say if he approved or disapproyed of
bribery at the polls or in the legislature.
He would not bother to express an
opinion as to the truth or falsity of the
sworn testimony of Justices Hunt and
Piggott of the state supreme court that
they had been offered brides by agents
of w. A. Clark to dismiss the charge of
bribery against another agent of w. A.
Clark. to whom Mr.. Toole's political
platform points with pride"
He would not bother" to explain why
he is working tooth and nail to destroy a
corporation which w. A. Clark worked
tooth and nail to create.
He would not bother" to say if he be-
leved w. A. Clark, to whom his plat
form points with pride" is entitled to a
"vindication."
In brief, Mr.. Toole bothered" with a
question in which he only was concerned,
but he would not bother" with uues-
lions with which all the people, whose
votes he is seeking, are vitality concerned.
The result viii doubtless be that in
\
view OF Mr.. Toole's refusal to bother"
with questions affecting the interests Of

IN JUSTICE TO GOV. rooLE.

The Bee has received the following
communication from State Examiner
John G. Morony:
Helena, Mont, Oct 18, 1900.
Editor Kalispell Bee: Dear Sir:-My
attention has been called to denial by
Governor Toole, in his speech in your
town the other night, that he had in
1896 written me letter in which he
said that he could not make Bryan
speeches that year because of his con-
nection with the Northern Pacific Rail
way company. l have been informed
that some such charge was made by the
Bee.
AS matter of fact he never wrote me
such letter or told me anything of the
kind, and l never to anyone stated that
ne did. If your paper has been SO in
formed, your informant mislead you, and
the statement that Mr.. Toole assigned
to me as reason for not going on the
stump that year, his connection with the
railway company, is wrong and has no
foundation in fact.
Very respectfully,
JOHN G. MoRoNY.
The Bee publishes Mr.. Morony's letter
as matter of simple justice to Governor
Toole. The story did not originate with
this newspaper. Prior to its publication
in the Bee, the charge had been openly
made in several of the state newspapers
for two weeks or more and, SO far as the
Bee has been able to find out, Governor
Toole had never taken the trouble to
deny it before reaching Kalispell, nor
has the Bee seen any denial of the charge
by Mr.. Morony before this time. The
Bee cannot consider it probable that
neither Governor Toole or Mr.. Morony
were aware that the charge was being
publicly made before seeing it in the
Bee. Under the circumstances the Bee
is OF the opinion that it was justified in
republishing the charge, but it cheer
fully accepts the denials of Governor
Toole and Mr.. Morony as finally dispos-
ing of the matter.

ing gratitude to the brave and honorable
men who last winter, from conspicuous
stage, exposed the crimes which brought
disgrace upon the state. The time will
come when these men will be honored
with monuments erected in our state
house and public places to their honor.
Since the days when highwaymen were
hanged no service SO great has been rem

dered by them. always feel like taking
off my hat and shoes and walking bare
headed and barefooted in the presence
of those men who dared to be brave and
to do this great service for their state.
The eyes of the entire country are upon
us to see what we are going to do about
this grave issue presented for our deci-
sion on the 9Th of November. Montana
has become the focal point for million
fingers of scorn. Mckinley can wait,
Bryan can wait, Imperialism can wait,
the eight-hour question can wait, but
this bribery question cannot wait. It
must be settled, and must be settled
right and to the honor of our state.
There is nothing more encouraging than
the rebellion of thousands of democrats
against the party organization which
points with pride to this terrible crime"
That is what Colonel Sanders thinks,
and Colonel Sanders is a man against
whom there has never been breath of
suspicion in political way. Colonel
Sanders is republican of republicans
and yet he says that all other issues but
the bribery issue can wait in this state.
Colonel Sanders is a man who has
been identified with the history of this
state for forty years or more. He is an
able man, a scholarly man and an honest
man. He is honored and respected
wherever he is known and he is known
wherever Montana is known. And vet,
Colonel Sanders says he always feels
like taking off his hat and shoes and
walking bareheaded and barefooted in
the presence of the men who dared to be
brave and do such a great service for
their state as Fred Whiteside and A. J.
Campbell, and G. S. Hartman, and Gov
ernor Smith and a score of others did,
when they exposed Clark's crime at
There are those not worthy
to be mentioned in the same year with
such man as Colonel Sanders who
affect to scorn and despise the men who
did this great service for their state.
But such Clark cuckoos will perhaps
live to see the time when they will be |
proud if they can be numbered among
the friends of the men in whose presence
Colonel Sanders declares he feels like
walking bareheaded and barefooted as |
mark of his deep respect for their cour-
age, their honesty and their great service
to the state.

About Repatriation.


Michel Therriault, County Clerk and
Recorder, Flathead county:
Dear Sir:-Since looking into the mat
ter of registration more carefully and
comforting with the attorney general,
have come to the following conclusion:
That electors who registered in Flathead
county in 1896 and who still reside in the
district in which they registered, will
not be required to register this year.
But those who have changed their resi-
dence from the district in which they
registered will be required to register
this year. Respectfully Yours.

Thau All Knaw Him.

Representative Gibson, of Tennessee, a
recent acquisition to the house, throws
his head back while he is making a
speech, says a writer in the current issue
Of Success and talks directly at the
ceiling. He is not very well acquainted
with the olner members, and this eircum-
stance caused him some embarrassment,
last month, in his home district. He was
a candidate for denomination, attending
many primaries and meetings. AT one of
the latter he met prominent Tennes-
sean who knows everybody in Washing
ton. The following dialogue ensued:-
''Do you know your fellow-member AFR.
Smith, of Kansas? He is quite prominent,

Moo, can't say that do"

Massachusetts, the celebrated Republi-
can orator?' 81.

FOUND--AN ARSENAL.
State Didn't Know It Pos
sessed This Old Build
ing.
[speoia1 to ..The Jergey cItv Newg.a1

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, June s, 19O0.-The State Of
New Jersey yesterday officially discov-
cred that il was the owner of an arsenal
which it did not know anything about.
Immediately after the discovery was
made the arsenal was ordered to be torn
down for kindling wood.
Had it not been that the arsenal was
in the way, the State might have gone
on forever in ignorance of its existence.
AS it is there IL record of its ownership.
At the request of Governor VOORHEES,,
Quartermaster General Donnelly yester-
day went to view the property, which is
located near the Pole Tavern, in Salem
county. He was accompanied by former
Senator Ward and Senator Miller.
The old arsenal was dis, svered on
property owned by Henry Richmond, Of
Philadelphia.
General Donnelly spent the entire day
looking up the history of the arsenal,
which proved quite interesting. It seems
that it was built many years before the
Civil War, on land leased by the State
for ninety-nine years. Originally a com
pany of militia was quartered there, but
for many years it has lain idle and is now
on the verge of collapse, threatening TO
fall at any moment.
At one time there was an old cannon
in the armory, the ownership of which
led to quite bitter feud between Salem
and Cumberland counties. Sometimes one
county had it and sometimes the other. it
being captured several times during the
night by representatives from these coun-
ties.
Finally the late Quartermaster General
Perrine was called upon to settle the dis
pute, and in order not to offend either
county he had the cannon placed in the
arsenal in this city, where it still remains.
1t is a fine old gun which was taken from
an italian vessel wrecked on the Jersey
coast.
The old arsenal at Pole Tavern will be
torn down Immediately and used for kin
ding wood.

Judge Blair Sentenced Several
Criminals Yesterday.

Judge Blair passed sentence on nine
prisoners yesterday. William Rideout, OF
Maiden, Mass., who, according to the rep
reservations of his counsel and his friends.
unconsciously eloped with Winifred Allen,

he was doing, married her in Hoboken,
escaped with a suspension of sentence.
Judge Blair said that such representations
had been made to the Court about the
prisoners mental condition that the Court
was disposed to be lenient although the
crime of bigamy is a very serious one
and very severely punished in this State.

asylum One the 9th of the following
