WILL CAMPBELL PROSECUTE?

The announcement through the col
gressman Campbell will return to Mon
tana and begin series Of prosecutions
in bribery cases. will be taken cum grano
sails.
1t is unquestionably the duty of the
Daily democrats to make good the whole
sale and sweeping charges which the An
aconda Standard has preferred against
large number of prominent citizens of
this state.
Otherwise that paper will continue, for
all time to come, to rest under the impu-
tation that it is a characterless scandal
monger, entitled to the detestation of
honest men.
But Congressman Campbell. the politi-
cal leader Of the Daily forces is not the
man to take the initiative in the work
Of placing few dozen prominent demo-
Gratis behind the bars at Deer Lodge.
1t may be safe enough for that gentle
man to advertise the purity of his inten-
tions in the metropolitan press of the
east, but advertising and action are not
necessarily synonymous terms.
Were Mr.. Campbell to undertake the
supervisorship of the roadway to the
penitentiary, there is bare possibility
that striped suit would be his only re-
ward.
Having confessed to the felonious
entry of private room, to the illegal
use of the postoffice facilities of the
United States, to the writing of an OBJ
scene letter, to being a party to the
opening of a private letter, Mr.. Campbell
might find himself somewhat embar-
rassed in an effort to send other crimi-
nails to the penitentiary.
Nevertheless, it is clearly the duty of
the DAILY men to institute the prosecu-
tions referred to, if the allegations of
the Standard are correct. The memo
rialists in the Clark case mentioned a
number of men as having received
bribes.
1t is their duty to prove every allega-
tion made in the courts of this state, OF
stand labeled with infamy before the
world.

A MANS WORLD.

This Is a mans world. While the hahn
may fall on the just and the unjust alike,
1t is woman who hunts up the UNI
brellas, cleans the overshoes and comes
to an untimely end from damp and
draggled petticoats, says Harper's Bazaar.
Nature discriminateS against woman in
the very action of the elements. In the
achievements of human invention which
makes the greatness Of the world, man
gets what he wants; woman takes what
she can get.
Aprops Of this is dining car under

cago street railways. This is to be run
on the buffet plan, as a trailer to cleo

persons, and the fare will he cents

WiLL Sc COME A LAW.

presidents signature today.
Though bereft Of some of it's original
features, the main purpose Of the hill, has
been preserved, and congress has estab-
lished a precedent in the adjustment of
the affairs of our acquired possessions
that will govern future legislation for the
Philippines. The new law destroys the
bourbon illusion that all the provisions of
the constitution become Immediately
operative in any section Of the world upon
which the flag is raised. 1t demonstrates
the right of congress to regulate the re-
lations between the United States and its

Had the committee recognized the

HAwAII's FLAG.
be reached

One morning in 1873 King Kamehameha
Of the Sandwich Islands awoke to find a
French warship anchored safely In the
harbor of Honolulu. He became alarmed
and sent at once for his prime minister.
He was advised by him to run up a flag
and show the visitors that the country
belonged to some one, and was not mo
mans land" to be pillaged at will by the
first foreigners who came along. The
king needing the advice, cast about for
a piece Of bunting to represent his nation,
and fell upon an old British flag. This
he had run up to the top of his highest
fiagpole. .H4
The bunting had hardly had time to IN
furl itself to the breeze when one or the
chief advisers Of the king came running
to him and told him that he would have
to take the flag down as the first thing
he knew, if he did not. an English man
of-war that was expected at the island
would arrive, and the commander. finding
his nations colOrs flying over Honolulu,
would take possession in the name of the
Queen. This frightened Kamehameha,
and he started another hunt for the flag.
This time the searchers unearthed an
American emblem. F,
Taking the two flags, the ruler had
them made into one. The jack in the
corner of the English emblem was left,
while the stripes of the American flag
were added to it. Thus the Hawaiian flag
at first had 13 stripes and jack the same
as the English. The king. when he had
disposed of his French visitors had time
to think over the matter. It was decided
that it would be better to have only eight
stripes, representing the eight islands of
the nation. The extra pieces were cut
off leaving the eight stripes, with a white
one on top. =
Soon after the adoption of this flag the
whites, who had begun to settle on the
island, came more and more into power
each year. until as result, the monarchy
was finally overthrown and the republic
placed on a firm basis, with white men
at the head of the government. The ma
tives, who are superstitious, believe the
change in power from the copper -colored
people to the white is directly due to the
fact that the white stripe is directly over
red been first the whites would never
have gained foothold on the island suffi-
cient to warrant their taking the reins
of government into their hands.
AS result of this superstition the
legislature of Hawaii scarcel ever meets
but what some new bill to change the
position of the stripes on the flag Is
brought up. The wisest of the men among
the natives are kept constantly at work
on the drawing up of such measures, and
their members in the congress are ever
busy trying to put the bills through. The
belief is that as soon as the order of the
stripes is changed, the red having the
preference, the cOpper-cOlOred natives
will again ascend to the power and have
full sway in the government.

small consequence, as such, compared
with the congressional declaration of the
right to impose tariff. Under the demo-
cratic contention, the constitution of the
United States which prevents the imposi-
ton of a tariff between the several states
of the union. applies with equal force to
our acquired territory, Porto Rico and the
Philippines being entitled to precisely
no substantial basis, as purchased prop
erty abroad is not an integral part of the
United States until conditions justify it's
admission as such. OF these conditions
congress is the sole judge. Were the
democratic claims approved by congress-
and the theory that 1.-The constitution
follows the flag" admitted as logical and
just, all restrictions between Porto Rico
and the Philippines and the United States
would be Immediately removed.
No power under the sun could then pre-
vent the unlimited importation of pauper
labor from the tropics, filtered through
! the gateways of our foreign possessions.
The democratic press make light of this
evil which would have followed the
adoption Of their plan. forgetful of the
stringent legislation which was required
to suppress the Chinese nuisance in the
years gone by. The final passage Of the
Porto Rican bill is cause for congratula-
tion on the part Of the American people.
1t not only vindicates a principle Of inf
mite importance in the intelligent hand
ling of our new colonies but it protects
the industrial life of our country for all
time to come from the destructive inva-
sion Of pauper labor.

4 cONS7ITU7IONAL QUESTION.

In fighting the senatorial case to
finish. Mr. Clark is showing good judg
ment. Were he to resign seat to
which he was not elected-according to
the findings of the committee-he would
acknowledge that no election had been
held thus conceding the point made by
his enemies. This he could not afford to
do. The adoption of this committees
report could place him in no more en-
barrassing position than would the
tender of his resignation at this time.
The contest on the floor of the senate
moreover, will. in the nature of things
involve a wider scope than that before
the committee. Doubtless a constitu-
tional question will be raised. While it
lies within the purview of the senate to
expel a member for cause, the question
as to whether that body can invalidate
an election by a legislative assembly is
quite another thing. It must be borne
in mind that the point in issue before
the senate in the Clark case is not the ex-
pulsion of that gentleman from his seat
in that body. but the determination of
whether there was or was not a sena-
torial election held by the Sixth legisla-
tive assembly of Montana. II no elec-
tion was held, as the committee on privi-
leges and elections report, then Mr..
Clark was not elected. and his seat is
vacant for that reason. II 1t can be

easy MARKS"

heard of a case out at the track the other
day that really beat the record One of
the professional touts that haunt the
ground got hold of a pretty verdant In
surance man who lives here in town and
talked him into putting up 5000 to bet on
a 20 to nag that he swore had lead
pipe cinch on the first race. The tout
went to the betting ring ostensiblys to
place the money, which needless to say,
he really put in his inside pocket and
brought back 'fohney' ticket. But that
is only the starter. After delivering the
fake ticket he sat down by the victim and
remarked casually that he Wished It
would rain. You see. this horse is dead
stuck on mud he said, and If the track
was only little slushy we would have q
double -riveted certainty. I've sent over
to the paddock to see whether 1t can't be
fixed What d'y mean?' asked the in
surance man in surprise. 'Sh-h.' whis-
pered the tout, here's my man, now!' Just
