In view Of Count Won Waldersee's early
retirement from the chief command of
the allies in China, the German Govern
ment has requested the Powers to express
their wishes as to his successor. Inas-
much as the United States has no troops
in the Empire other than a small legation
guard it is stated that Acting Secretary
Hill very properly has declined to make
any suggestion or recOmme ndation in the
premises. The States assuming RESPONSE
bility for the preservation of order and
for the protection of civilized interests
in China-including cur own-should be
left to settle the question of a commander
in-chief among themselves.

ROOSEVELT AND THE PRESS.

From Saturdays Daily:

dy Roosevelt when he goes on hunt
ing trip but it is entirely likely tha
the newspaper men who come in per
sOnal contact with nlm hold him il
the highest esteem. Teddy, it is I'm
derstood, has the proper idea of hi;
obligations to the press in his ca
pacity as a public oflcfal. He does
not assume to close the channels d
official information against newspa
per: On the contrary. if the Ladies
Hum" Journal is to be credited, he
has always taken the newspapers in
to his confidence, and never has had
occasion to regret it. The Journal
says:
Soon after he went to Albany as
governor, Roosevelt called in one OF
the oldes. newspaper correspondents
there, and asked what had been the
custom of the former governors in
regard to the newspaper men. He
was told that memorandum of i'm.
portant acts were given out from
to time and that whenever one of the
newspaper men wished to speak to
the governor about anything special
he was granted an audience. Quick
as flash Roosevelt said: L don't
like that idea, | think it would be
better to see all the newspaper men
twice a day, and tell them things
they should not publish as well as
things they may The correspondent
argued that this would be dangerously
that if the governor took all the men
into his confidence he might have oc-
casion to regret it. Il will try it, any
way" said Roosevelt. Il believe most
men are honest"
So during his term as governor
every morning at II and every after
noon at 5 o'clock, the 20 or 30 news
paper men were granted an audience
and after the routine things had been
disposed of were anowed to ask
questions. And no matter how per
sonal these might be they were an
swered. Often they were of such inn
pOrtance that a premature statement
might have caused endless trouble,
Roosevelt's frank way OF dealing
with the men, however, seemed to be
reflected in their treatment of him,
and not once did ne have cause to
withhold the most personal informal
ton from any of them"

The Chicago judge who recently
declared that women witnesses are
inaccurate and unreliable has furn-
ished text for a flood of newspaper
editorials which hasten to sustain the
finding of the court with similar op-
inions of their own. A few days ago,
at the Correspondents club of New
York, answers were read from a
large number of distinguished per-
sons to the question, How can the
influence of the press be increased?"
Among these were a state comptrol-
Ter, governor, noted scientist, \
cardinal and a foreign minister, and

press especially needs is accuracy, re-

THE SEMl-WEEKlY,

It is the intention that the Semi
Weekly Bee shall be particularly at
tractive for those not in a position tt
take advantage of the daily issue. II
will be made up largely from the
daily in it's news features and in adj
dition, special efforts will be made
to look after the requirements of the
farmers and horticultralists in the
way of news pertaining to their vo.
cations.
The Bee has in contemplation ar
rangements with eminent agricul-
turalists and horticulturalists for
special articles on these subjects
from time to time, with particular
reference to conditions in this coun-
ty, and communications on these
topics from the farmers and fruit
growers of the Flathead country
will be cordially welcomed and CIV
en- the most courteous attention.
In this way the Semi-Weekly Bee
hopes to make itself a household
necessity on every grain. fruit and
stock farmer in this county. 1t al
ready has a very satisfactory sub
scription list in the rural districts,
but it wants it greatly increased.
The aim is to make it the best gen
eral newspaper in western Montana,
and subscribers for it may rely upon
that aim being kept constantly in
view

The newspapers of Montana should

The newspapers of Montana should
make careful note of the man who
introduced senate bill No. Ill, which
provides for sending the official print
ing of the various counties out of the
state if it can be procured at lower
rates in that way. They should also
carefully note the men who support
ed such measure. 1t was intro
duced and is being pushed at the
behest of eastern publishing houses,
who pay starvation wages and are
consequently able to do the work at
much lower rates Than the Montana
printers. 1t is a most UNJUST measure
and ought to be killed. If support of
home industry is the proper thing,
and it is, the newspapers of the state
deserve the most consideration in

plated in senate bill No. Ill.

THE EVENING BEE.

From Fridays Daily:
The Bee today keeps it's promise
of some months ago and resumes the
publication of daily newspaper. The
venture of last fall was intended as
an experimental feeler of the pub
lie pulse, is it were-and the result
was encouraging. At that time there
were not a few progressive business
men and citizens of Kalispell who
were quick to see the value of the
local daily publication and were anx-
ious to have it continued. They were
not quite numerous enough however,
so the Bee decided to wait awhile.
Since then the demand for a re-
sumption of the daily has become in
sistent. There are scores of intelli-
gent people in Kalispell who have
noticed and deplored the fact that
what was news for Kalispell was not
news for other towns in Montana "a
or SO hours before. In this respect
only did Kalispell lag behind the
procession. In other ways this city
asked no odds of any Montana town.
But the news, while it is news, is an
essential requirement in any pro-
gressive community, and the demand
in that respect in Kalispell has be-
come such as seems to warrant an
effort to supply it. The Bee has
Uiynp tho citnofinr ornf,,1 Govt
GUS consideration. 1t has taken coun-
sci with all classes of business men
of this city. 1t has estimated con-
servatively and it finds enough people
who want the news and enough bus
mess men who understand the value
of daily newspaper advertising, to
warrant the enterprise initiated to-
day.
The Bees efforts have always been
toward giving value received and it
has found that Kalispell and the sur
rounding country appreciates such
efforts. The Bee has found that such
policy pays. 1t costs more but
the returns are proportionate. It is
by continued pursuit of such a policy
that the Evening Bee intends to win
success. We do not see any chance
for failure. The conditions for sue
cess are apparent on all hands. En-
ergy, enterprise and honesty will
win without doubt. The time is
ripe and the Evening Bee makes its
bow full of hope and confident that
it can keep step with progress in
other lines hereabOuts.

A POLITICAL MOVE,
From Saturdays Daily:

From Saturdays Daily:
The facts connected with the "pur-
ity' crusade recently inaugurated in
this city may as well be understood
first as last. There is an impress
sion abroad among the business men
tnat the movement has not been
started in good faith for the purpose
of suppressing gambling. 1t is OPEN
ly stated that such purity" move
ment has been undertaken in this
city a few weeks before the annual
city election, for political purposes,
for several years past. Unquestion-
ably the present movement was in
augurated under almost exclusively
republican auspices. The men pres
ent at the meeting are with possibly
one or two exceptions prominent in
local republican circles. The only
member of he local press permitted
to be present at the meeting is a re-
publican, who has been Jealous in
loading up the state dailies with stor-
les of the dreadful moral condition Of
kalispell. A Bee reporter who re-

was refused. No secret has been
made of the fact that the republican
managers believe that if they had
control of the city government they
woulu be able to carry the county
election. They hope to get control

can be no doubt of this. The ear
