heard in the United States senate, ant
it is possible that they may, if oontin
ued. result in broadening the scope o,
the investigation now in progress. II
other words, the rumors may lead to ar
investigation Of Mr.. Clark's methods Of
electioneering il Washington as we'll al
in Montana
If Clark retains his seat, there are
plenty of people in Montana, who are
familiar with democratic corruption
and the bold boodling tactics Of both
CLARK and DAILY, who will believe that
the senate has been corrupted. CLARK
is none too good to attempt to purchase
the highest legislative body in the
world, if he thought he would not be
caught at it. Neither is DAILY, for that
matter. But in this instance it will
hardly be necessary for him to attempt
anything of that character; the evi.
dence against CLARK 80 far is so strong
that unless the defense disproves it.,
the senate will be compelled to un.
seat CLARK to protect its own good
name.
And these are the men-Clark and
Daily and their henchmen-who are
drawing the attention Of the whole
United States to the ''rotten borough"
Montana. The Anaconda Standard is
authority for the statement that $50
of them are now in Washington and,
as their number increases, the name
of this state becomes blacLer and black.
er and its disgrace becomes more uni.
versal.
If the voters of Montana do not next
fall resent the disgrace that has been
heapsd upon them, by literally 'wiping
up the earth with both CLARK and DAILY
cohorts, this state will deserve TO be
held in contempt by all honest men.
Its good name can only be regained by
retiring the democrats from power and
thus serving notice upon the rest Of the
country that the lawabiding people Of
Montana will not again permit it's rep
~utation to be assailod.

DESERTS THE POPULIsTS.

E. A. Carleton, state superintendent
Of public instruction, elected as a pop
ullst, publicly gives it out that he will
desert that organization and return to
the republican fold. He gives as his
reason that the populists intend to
nominate Bryan this year, i'll advance
of the democratic party, and says the
absorption Of the former party by the
democrats, so shrewdly begun in 1896,
is now to be contaminated. Professor
Carleton very wisely concludes that
one of the old parties will control the
destinies of the country and argues that
there a be but Ole choice as between
the republicans and democrats.
Throughout the country, there are
no doubt thousands of other populists
who at last realize that their party il
only the tail to the democratic kite.
The wonder is that they did not realize
it before. Particularly has this been
the case in Montana, where Bob Smith
turned populist just to secure the gov.
ernorship and after he was elected re,
turned to the democrats and gave the
populistc the go-by. They are blooming
chumps if they stand for this kind OF
thing any longer.

THE STANDARD OBJECTS.

The Anaconda Standard objects tC
the keynote that has been sounded by
republicans for the local campaign in
Butte, and elsewhere in the state. OF
corruption in the democratic party.
The DAILY organ argues that, because 70
per cent of the republicans voted for
CLARK in the last legislature, the repub-
lican party III the state is just as cor
rupt as the democratic party. Not BY
any manner Of means. Nearly every
republican newspaper in the state OF
any standing promptly and vigorously
repudiated the members Of their party
who voted for Clark, and the party has
been purged of them. But there is no
effort made on the part Of either fac
ton of the democratic party to deny
that they are both boodlers. On the
contrary, they seem to glory in their
derravity; they have brought more
shame and disgrace upon Montana than
it was cver the lot of any state in the
Union to bear. It was the same in tho
democratic senatorial contest Of 1898,
while in 1889 the democrats boldly at
tempted to steal the first two senatorial
seats to which this state was entitled.
And CORRUPTION and %boodling have heen
fragrant in Montana whenever the
democrats have been in power. This
cannot be denied and the effort of the
Standard to create the impression that
the republican party is, equally guilty
is not only dishonest, but ridiculous.
Unfortunately, there are some bood-
lers in the republican party of Montana,
but they were corrupted with demo-
cratic money. and no instance can be
shown in the states history where dem
ocrats have been bribed, or all attempt
made to corrupt them with republican
money. And the Standard will find,
during the progress of the coming cam
paign. that there are thousands OF men
in the democratic party of this state
who will no longer stand with it. They
cannot afford to do SO; they are disgust.
ed and Inundated at the brazon ef-
frontery of the democrats in openly
Boosting of the money they have used
in politics. Men of this character are
going to vote for reform. They know
it cannot be brought about if either the
CLARK or DAILY faction succeeds, and
both will be turned down next fall on
account of their corrupt methods.
No, the Standard cannot get away
from the issue of democratic corruption
by charging that it is just as bad in the
republican party. 1t is not true. The
record made by the democrats in this
state in the last Legislature is too much
in evidence.

Lunch Counter in a school.

A lunch counter which has been

high school building in Sioux City,
Iowa, by the Board Of Education for
the use of the pupils and for the pur-
pose of saving them the trip to their

1t was put in operation with the

CHANGES IN CAVALRY METHODS.
The Small Man May Yet Become the
Most Desirable Soldier.

The Small Man May Yet Become the
Most Desirable Soldier.
The improvement of military rifles
and other death-dealing devices has
done away almost entirely with hand
to-hand fighting. There was time
in warfare when men on powerful
horses, armed with heavy sabers, rode
TO the opposing force and cut their
opponents down by sheer physical
force. For such exploits the heaviest
horses and large men were most efec-
tive. With modern magazine and ma
chine guns a cavalry charge of the old
fashioned sort is practically out of the
question, but this does not mean that
the cavalry has become obsolete as an
arm of the military service. 1t will
simply have to be made to conform to
the changed conditions. The same
change in weapons that has made di.
rect frontal attack impracticable has
naturally compelled resort in strate-
gic methods. To accomplish effective
maneuvering speed is prime essen
tial and cavalry or mounted infantry
must be employed. In fact, with the
present method of arming cavalry, it
is practically mounted infantry, the
horse being used primarily as a means
of transportation.
This disuse of the old-fashioned cav.
airy methods changes the requirements
for the mounted service. The fact
that there are likely to be few hand
to-hand encounters will make small
men particularly available for this arm
of the military service. Small men
can be carried long distances with
much less fatigue to the horses--a fact
which is important when it is consid-
cred that in many countries the sol.
diers will have to be mounted on small
native horses. The horses of the
tropics and of countries like the Trans.
vaal, New Mexico and Arizona have
food and water endurance much in ex-
cess of the heavy horses of temperate
zones and the fact that these animals
are generally small adds to the de-
STABILITY of small men for mounted
service. A special dispatch from Col
orado Springs reports that trainload
Of Colorado "bronchos" is soon to be
shipped to South Africa for the use OF
the British army, this kind of horse
having been found preferable. The
'broncho" is able to carry pack OF
800 pounds a lopg distance without
food or water, but it cannot move
rapidly with its maximum load. To
the extent which the load is reduced
the efficiency of the animal is increased
Nnd the mobility and effectiveness OF
the mounted service augmented.
Apparently there is fine chance for
the small man to become the most de-
sirable sort of soldier. Hitherto he
has escaped military service, especially
for the infantry. Perhaps in the
future the small man will find himself
eligible to military service, il not actu
ally preferred for some branches Of it

have 40 definite foundation for the benef
they are preparing TO return TO work and

eiared of and the men will return TO work.
The majority of the men in this region are
in condition to remain out for another six

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 16--That there is
a positive assurance Of the end of the
strike of the anthracite miners seems
certain today in the preparations which
are being made all through the Lacka-
wanna Valley for the resumption of work.
The coal companies are cTowding their
mine sidings with empty ears and the end
OF the week Will find thousands where
formerly only hundreds We're placed.
These are to be prepared to meet
the great demand for coal which viii ne
cessitate the running of the mines and
breakers TO their utmost for several
weeks in order to get the stock ahead TO
meet the winters needs.
L is beneved here that the big coal
carrying railroads viii force the individual
operators OF The Lackawanna and Wyoming
valleys TO acquiesce IN the demand of the
strikers. From what T. II. Watkins, of
the Temple Coal and Iron Company and
other prominent Independent operators
say, they would not give in TO the strik-
ers under any cireums ances if they were
not situated so as TO make it necessary for
them 10 ship over these railway lines. They
expect yet to force the big companies tu
grant them the concessions On freight
which will eQualize rhe increase to the
miners which they will have 10 give under
strike conditions.
The powder question comes up again
today as the troublesome one in the set
tleG2ent of the strike. Outside of tbs
there is no doubt the Lackawanna and
Wyoming region miners would ciose the
conflict and be ready to return to work
whenever President Mitchell and the dis
triet officers give the word.

Texas has been placed ont OF commission
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard where she will
receive extensive repairs There was a
disincliuation shown by naval officers to
retire the Texas at this time, but her con-
dition made it necessary to Go SO. After
participating In the West indian naval
campaign she received some slight repairs
and since then has been actively engaged

Orders have been issued by the Navy De-
partment TO place three more colliers in
commission for use principally in carrying
coal to the large fleet on the Asiatic sta
ton. The Navy Department is accu!nu-

it is said that the shipments from this
country cannot be sent fast enough to
meet the demands of the fleet
The vessels ordered into service are
the Pompey and Leonidas. at League
