A queer case has presented itself at
Kalispell and it involves the liability of
an Indian for debt. 1t seems that one
/. J. Bird, an Indian of the Blackfeet
tribe, executed a note for 81, 100 to the
Conrad National bank Of Kalispell in
payment for herd of cattle, and the
note becoming due the bank commenced
an action to foreclose a mortgage on the
stock. The point is now raised that
Mr.. Bird-who is evidently very fly
cannot be sued, as he is ward of the
government and had no right to utter
the note or execute the mortgage. II
the Indian wins out where will the bank
get redress? IL the Indian is not in
lawful possession of the cattle they
should be turned over To the parties
who loaned him the money. Is the
American Indian also up to ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain?" The
government cannot afford to be a party
TO any such transaction.

plsAsIER THE HOPE or DEMOCRACY.

In recent interview at Kansas City
Charley Towne, the disappointed and
leader of the Populistic
Democracy, gave vent to the following:
1--WE cannot overthrow the Republi-
can party as long as favorable indus
trial conditions continue, although that
party has not been responsible for
those conditions and can lay no claim
to bringing them about

Paul Pioneer Press says THE last
part of his assertion may be dismissed
as worthy of no more attention than a
claim that the apple tree is not respon.
sible for the big red apples hanging to
its limbs But the first part is intense
Is interesting as fresh admission that
all the hopes Of the pattern of Democ-
racy represented by Towne and Bryan
are pinned to the coming Of industrial
disaster. Their prayers, therefore, are
not for a continuance of present favor
able industrial conditions; not for con-
tinued steady employment for work
ingmen at high wages; not for big crops
and bulging graDaries and such traffic
as oyertaxes the transportation agen-
cies of the country; not for propitious
breezes which shall prosper the enter
prises of those whose ships have yet to
come in. Nol they watch and wait and
pine for calamities, for the stoppage of
factories; for the conversion of the
throngs of workers into armies of
hungry tramps; for silent shuttles and
idle railways; for storms that shall
wreck by thousands the homecoming
ships. For then would come the Bry-
anitc and the Towncitc's opportunity.
They can profit politically only on the
nations sorrows. ny self-conlcssion

Another ordinance in which the
greater portion of the people of Lewis
town are interested, and which will be
found in this issue, is that establishing
a free public library. the question hav-
ing been voted ailirmatively in the re-
cent city election. No doubt many of
our citizens thought this movement
premature and something that could
have been deferred until our revenues
were larger, other things being more
essential in the initial work Of building
a city. But the people have spoken
and given the movement their approval
and steps will be taken TO execute their
will. The ordinance prescribes certain
regulations for doing this, and it will
he seen that while the affairs of the
library will be managed by a board of
six directors appointed by the mayor
and confirmed by the council, their
transactions must he open at all times
to the inspection Of committee of the
city council. Other provisions seem to
cover all points necessary for the in
augurnIion Of this public enterprise,
which will no doubt take form in the
near future. II will be necessary to go

Where Are the People +?

From the Ogletnorpe Echo.
The frequent announcements that
are being made as to who is slated to
fiji this or that Office in Georgia in the
future moves The Echo to make the
enquiry that heads this article.
So far as we can learn the people
the masses-are not giving the matter
of future Office holders thought save
when they are forced by reading the
eft appearing statementi in the papers
as to who is to fill some position of hon
or and trust They very well know
that there is plenty of time yet for
such thought. ~,
Somehow it looks to us like the
height of presumption upon the part
of aspirants for Office to have it declar-
ed so far in advance how the offices are
to be parceled out. Are not the peo-
ple whose interests are most at stake
to have no voice in the matter /:
Ought they not to be shown some con-
sideration or courtesy and be allowed
to at least intimate who they would
have to serve them and take charge OF
their public affairs?
Some of these fine US whole lot
CT these Office apportioners are going
to awake to the realization that there
are others besides themselves who
have a right to say who shall and who
shall rot "rule over the land"
