to the heath and life of the PLAYERS and
is wholly brutal as at present played.

srarEPREssc COMMENT
FAvoRs LICENSED GAMBLING.

Dillon Tribune: At present there is a
law on the statute books of Montana
prohibiting gambling and gambling de-
vices but the law has been a dead let
tter. No law can be effective that has
not the support of the people and a law
in advance of popular sentiment must of
necessity be a dead letter. Montana still
stands for what the West" once was in
life and character. While innovations
have been made in many localities she
is still the most faithful representative
of a peculiar, romantic, adventurous.
prodigal and careless life which many
writer's have attempted to portray and
few with any degree of success. Gam
ing is indigenous to the state and while
it may have declined from the extent to
which it obtained in earlier days, it is
still popular social evil beyond the
reach of any law the state may pass. We
are loath to admit this, but it We're Ger
tainly unWise to try to hide the truth
This being the case a prohibitory law is
both unwise and fmpolitic 1t should be
licensed just as other evils that cannot
be cured and hence must be endured.

There is no end to the romances that
grew out of the civil war. One that
originated in st. Clair Wis, away back
in 1860, has just been brought to light
by F. J. Smith, a prominent citizen of
Emmett county, Ohio. AT the outbreak
of the war, his elder brother, Garrison,
enlisted in the Wisconsin Fourth volun-
teer infantry, and when the time came
to leave with his regiment, his wife was
dying. Without any publicity, Flavel ].
Smith took his place, served through the
war, and was mustered out with an hon
orable record under the name of Garri-
son E. Smith. He is now asking that
the secord be corrected to carry his
name.

assured.

The citizens of Butte were startled on
Saturday when they beheld large force
of men and teams engaged in cleaning
up the streets in the paved district. There
is no occasion for excitement, however,
as this unusual exhibition of civic pride
is probably intended only as a Christ
mas gift. When the administration gets
around to permanently improving the
condition and appearance of the streets,
it will probably consider the passage OF
an ordinance to prohibit splitting on the
sidewalk such as is in force in every city
of any Importance in the country, and
which is really needed in Butte more
than in any of them.

There is no reason why the business
man, the man of wealth, should not have
this consciousness of work well done as
strongly as another. The generosity of
the rich men of this day is, at least,
something phenomenal. and the amount
contributed by them this year for the
purpose of bettering the condition, di-
rectly and Indirectly, Of their less fortu-
nate brothers is OF such magnitude that
it is difficult to see how the ministers
overlook it.
There Is A general tendency, too, on the
part Of these ministers to discourase am
hition. Boys ana men are urged TO be
content With their lot, wh;rGTer it may
be. The fact that children are not all
Milling to live as their fathers did is
taken as an indication that they are dis
contented and that American society is
in an inflamatory condition.

Of our great merchants fall like powder

Would Mr.. Hollis have this changed?
The boys who are fired by such ambi-
tions are the builders. the creators and
benefits are scattered all along the ca
reers of such men and such lives But
DR. Hollis does not take the radical view
of many others who preached on the sub

the most valuable paper Issued in the
state this year. It will be handsomely
illustrated throughout. and as an adver-
tising medium, will afford our merchants
a rare opportunity, one that they should
take advantage of at once as the space

pected. and an enormous circulation is
assured.

THE DAILY STABLES.

Miles City News: The selling of all the
running stock on the Bitter Root farm
of the late Marcus Daily, will be a hard
blow to the state of Montana, and the
breaking up of this large stable with
such sires as Hamburg, Tammany, Og-
den. Bathampton, and others, is like the
dissolution of family. 1t was always

REPEAL THE Law.

The Madisonian: There is law upon
our statute books prohibiting the killing
of any beaver or otter in this state 1t
may be that the law is wise one, but
we doubt it. The wanton destruction of
game animals is wrong and ought to be
prohibited, as it is. But a beaver or an
otter is rarely seen by man While it is
alive, and becomes useful or ornamental
only after it is dead. In any event it
is o. a question of few years until
these fur bearing animals will disappear
forever from the streams Of Montana.

THE MINISTERS ON WEALTH.

All of the New York ministers had
something to say last week about
wealth, and the danger that threatens
because of the fierce fight for money and
power. The lesson they all endeavor to
teach is that happiness is only to be
found in the consciousness of work we'll
done. No one will object to that, but
minister's overshot the mark.

Lime Dip ard Wool.

AN eastern wool syndicate has
sent out q circular letter TO wool
growers warning them not to use
lime i'll dipping their sheep for scab.
This letter says that lime lessons
the value of wool and is therefore
injurious. Now comes wool grow
ef from Oregon and says "the use
Of lime may lessen the value eff The
wool trife, but it is the only thing
that will Eli scab." His argument
is, that it is better to get a little
less for wool, and get full clip,
than to get less wool and digger
price. Thisis the view that most
of our sheepmen will take Of the
matter. 1t is better to have clean
sheep that will shear seven or eight
pounds of wool that will sell for Is
cents, than to have a scabby sheep
that will produce only four or five
pounds Of II cent wool. The 4ost
insthe price Of lime dipped wool is
reckoned at topper cent.

Az important Measure.

Mr.. Mondell has succeeded in hav-
ing favorably reported from the
Committee on Public Lands, his
bill repeating the provisions of the
Desert Land Laws which require
the payment of $l.25 an acre on all
entries on desert land. If this bill
becomes a law, @desert land entry
men will now be saved the required
$l.25 and Wal only be required to
pay the fees now required in home
stead entries. The bill also PRO
vldee that those who have hereto
fore made desert land filings, and
have been unable to perfect title to
she same, shall be allowed to make
"a second filing The bill is an ex-
,ueedingly important One for the en-
sire west. Very few tracts remain
in any region which can be reclaim
ed except at a very considerable
cost per acre, and he who reclaims
arid tract of land should be allow
ed to secure title without paying
1925 per acre for it. While the
settler may be able to spend con
aideable sums in labor for the irri-
seat;on of the tract, he is oftentimes
nnable to pay the present cash pay
ment required by the government,
and tlsas he is often unable to per-
feet title to his land. The passage
Of this act should greatly encourage

Food for Thought.

Representative King, Of Utah,
was sworn in as a congressman the
other day at Washington. There
was no objection #rom anyone to
@the proceeding, in fact he was greet
ed with applause from republicans
and democrats alike in the house, as
he approached the speakers stand
and took the oath of office.
During the Roberts controversy
there was a disposition on the part
of some to charge those, who made
the fight against him, with startin g
an anti-Mormon fight.
In this connection it is well to
note that King stands in every re-
spect, save one, the same rs Rob
erts did. He is democrats, a Lat
ter Day Saint, prominent in both
politics and church, but he was not
a polygamist, and no kick was
forthcoming.
There is food for thought in this
matter.

4 SMindIinE Scheme.

Fer some years past the treasury de-
partment has received from time to
time letters from all parts OF the coun-
try asking for information regarding
certain large sums of money which, it
is alleged. are on deposit in the treas
ury department awaiting distribution
to heirs or persons of great wealth in
Europe and America.
Among these noted claims is one of
the heirs of man Of the name of De
Haven, who is alleged to have loaned
the government of the United States
large sums OF money during the Revo-
lutionary war. Another we'll known
case is that of the Robert Morris es-
tate. the heirs Of which, it is said. are
entitled to receive from the govern
ment several millions of dollars. The
Durkee claim also is well known in the
department and involves several mil
lions Of dollars. The latest one is that
of the heirs of Anneke JAMS. who are
said to be entitled to receive from the
United States something like 100000
600, which sum, 1t is said, has been re-
ceived from Holland and now awaits
proof of relationship.
1t is stated at the treasury depart
ment that all Of these claims are spuri-
Gus and that they are made the basis
Of confidence games by agents who
work upon the credulity of the unin-
formed. Agents, it is said, are selling
bonds to raise money to prosecute
these claims against the government,
realizing something like SO per $1,000
promised in case of success. The treas
ury department is powerless TO proceed
against these mpostors.-Washingt
