was q half breed. Her father was a
white man and her mother a Spokane
Indian. The defendant was II years old
when he went on the reservation and
since has been chief of the Indian police
in hat jurisdiction.
In his opinion Judge Knowles says:
Had he lived in the county of Mis-
soula up to this time, / think he would
certainly have been classed as a white
man. He would have been entitled to
the status of a white man; he could have
inherited, acquired and held property;
he could have located mining claims.
"Did the fact of his going upon the
Preservation with his mother and adopt.
ing the habits of the Indians change his
status? | think not. While there are
cases in which quarter breed Indians
nave been recognized as Indians by the
laws of congress, l can not refer to any
case where a person possessing but one
quarter Indian blood, and who was born
among white people and lived among
them until he was nearly a grown man,
has been classed as an Indian. IT he
had acquired real property, it would
have ssbeen assessed for taxation and
taxed.
1T has been held that a white man
adopted into an Indian tribe by the rules
and regulations thereof did not lose his
status as a white man or acquire that
of an Indian. The mother of Oliver
Gibeau could not, by taking him, with
her to- an Indian tribe and securing his
adoption into the same, deprive her SON
of the rights of a white man and a citi-
zen.
"By Indian polity be might by them
be classed as an Indian, but not by the
constitution and laws of the United
States."-Great Falls Leader.

Coz. E. P. RICHARDSON, representing
the University Travelling Libary is in
Dupuyer with a solution of the problem
as to how good literature may be &C
quired at a nominal cost. The system
as proposed by Col. Richardson has been
in successful operation for the last four
years, and more than $500 communities
in the United States have availed them
selves of it's privileges. The bnoxs'come
in sections of fifty volumes each and are
changed every three months, so that
every member has access to 200 volumes
each year during a period of five years.
The list of books is carefully selected and
embraces all subjects of interest to the
general reader, including books for the
children. The people of Montana are
given much to reading. but the cost OF
procuring good books has made this q
remunerative field for cheap literature,

GOVERNOR TooLE is evidently a rock
of disappointment to those who rely up
on his clemency after being duly con
victed in the courts for violation of the
law. The pardoning power makes an
act of mercy possible where circum-
stances combine to render it proper, but
its injudicious use tends to cast discredit
upon our courts which arrive at their
conclusions after due deliberation in
which the defendant is given the ben eft

Quarter Blood Indians are Citi.

When is an Indian a bite man? was
ans yered in an opinion given by United
States District Judge Hiram Knowles.
The question was involved in an applica-
ton for an injunction sought by the
government against County Treasurer
George Higgins, of Missoula county, to
prevent him from collecting taxes from
Oliver Gibeau, a quarter breed Indian.
IT was held that Gibeau was a white
man and the Injunction was dismissed
The contention of the government was
that Gibeau owned cattle on the Flat.
head reservation and they were listed il
1897 by Assessor w. r. Hamilton fol
taxation. Later County Treasurer Hig
gins levied on the stock for taxes. Their
the government took a hand in the mat,
ter and held that it was an illegal asses
ment.
The defendant claimed that he was c
white man and not an Indian. He wa,
born in Missoula county in 1896. His
father was a white map born in Canada
who became d natura1ized citizen of the

Justi Talks
Of Arbitration.

WALHINGToy, D. c., May lS.-Her-
mann Justi, commissioner of the Illinois
coal operators association, testified be-
fore the industrial commission con.
corning systems of arbitration and joint
agreements in the bituminous coal fields.
Justi stated that the interstate joiLt
movement between the four states con-
cerned, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois, followed shortly after the
long strike OF 1897. Prior to that time
there had been constant trouble between
the coal operators and mine workers.
Justi spoke of Illinois as typical of the
four states concerned as regards dis
agreements over the Interpretation OF
certain clauses ofthe agreement between
operators and miners. The miners were
not educated up to that point, Justi
thought, where they could understand
agreements or appreciate the sacredness
of contracts.
Under the interstate movement a
certain scale was established based on
competitive conditions, and which re-
acted in placing the four states on fair
competitive basis. A lcng-sought uni-
formity resulted, not only in wage scales,
but in mining conditions, and conse-
quently in the selling price of coal. 1t
was logical, Justi thought, that with
conditions Of mining similar in the four
states and the same wage scales in force,
the selling price of coal produced should
be uniform in the territory covered by
the agreement.
| Prior to the Interstate movement,
Justi said, the miners at times would
strike because they were paid less than
the miners in a neighboring shaft. Then,
on the other hand, an operator would
shut down without warning rather than
agree to the conditions imposed by the
workers in his mine. Agreements be-
tween the two factions were seldom
reached amicably. Now all complaints
made either by operators or mine work
ers were settled by arbitration. This
was the age of specialization. Justi
thought, as well as the age of organiza-
ton, and as the miners had a powerful
organization, it was absolutely for their
own interest that the operators should
have an organization. The powerful in
f1uence OF one balanced the powerful in
fluence OF the other.

A BENEFICIAL STORM.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press thinks that
the Louisville Courier-Journal is prob
ably right in saying that the panic which
"shook up" Wall street last Thursday
was "the best thing that could have
happened to the country" The specula.
tive spirit was absorbing, in its parasitic
growth, far too large portion OF the
country's energies. 1t was well that
spectators, intoxicated by the spectacle
of long-sustained advance in stocks
and OF numerous fortunes made on such
advance, should learn that there was a
losing as we'll as winning side. Thou
sands have learned the lesson, at bitter
cost, but their number is probably much
smaller than it would have become had
the advances remained uninterrupted
for a few months longer.
The big gambling on Wall street and
in the exchanges of our large cities was
also stimulating an unprecedented de-
velopment of smaller gambling among
all classes OF people. 1t has seemed as
ii all prudence, all conservatism, all
sense of anything wrong attaching to
the getting of something for nothing"
had been banished from society--that
the successful gambler was the hero of
his circle, whether that circle be of mil
lionaire stock brokers, business men at
poker, or street boys at policy or
Scraps
Saddest of all, the women have seemed
almost as much infected with the virus
OF gambling as their male associates.
The innocent card party without stakes
had become well-nigh thing of the
past; and those players who could COM
mand means scared from the small ex-
elements OF progressive euchre" and
"cinch" to the more perilous ones of the
stock and grain boards. Thousands of
women have, by the recent collapse,
been taught such lesson on the folly OF
gambling as, it is to be hoped, will have
upon them the same curative effect as
like experiences viii have upon their
husbands and sons.
As consequence of the storm, with
its 500, ,000, 900 in wreckage, it is fairly
certain that the small, sure gains of safe
and legitimate businesses, with their ac-
companying quiet and security, will find
fresh appreciation when contrasted with
the Chances" the excitement and the
strain ON body and mind attending gam
bling of all sorts, and for which even
the largest of possible winnings afford
inadequate compensation.
