PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

There is defect in the law of presi-
Dental succession which must be REM
edied when congress meets. The law
has been in force five years. Its pro-
visions have never been put in use, but
recent events have attracted attention
to the faults of the statute which would.
in case of the death of both president
and vice president. indicate the line OF
succession to the presidency.
1t is provided that the secretary OF
state shall be president in case death
should overtake the chief executive and
his successor in Office. In the language
of the statute the secretary of state shall
hold Office until a president is elected"
Under a correct Interpretation of this
act the moment the electoral college cast
the deciding vote for president, the ex-
secretary's presidential term would end.
1t is proposed to amend the law to
read until president is elected and
qualified" This is the conventional
phrase in other election statutes and its
adoption will remedy the fault COM
planned Of.
Another Iault also appears III the Id W.
Should the president and vice president
be removed by death after the electoral
votes We're counted. but before their in
auguration, the secretary Of state of the
retiring administration would take office
March 4, and serve a full term of four
years. In many instances this would
defeat the will of the people and reverse
the national policy Endorsed at the polls.
Had President Mckinley and Vice Presi-
dent Hobart died before their Inaugural
ton in March, 1897. Cleveland's secre-
tary of state would have discharged the
duties of president under the law until
another president was elected.
The coming session of congress will
not neglect to make amendments to this
important statute. The death of Presi-
dent Mckinley has shown the need Of a
law of presidential succession, harmoni-
Gus in all its provisions. Now, while
partisan feeling is at low ebb, the
amendments can be securely made and
imperfectiOns in the law cured. Then,
should an emergency ever occur which
will put in operation the law of presi-
Dental succession, the loss of the head
Of the governments executive branch
cannot by any possibility negative the
will Of the people.

LIBRARY FOR DEER LODGE.

Is Con Kohrs DESTROYS of becoming the
surance of his purpose to give Deer
Lodge $4,000 for library would indi-
cate that in proportion to his means, he
is quite as liberal a friend of popular
education as the great Scotch-American
himself.
since the pioneer days, when alone and
with blanket, a six-shooter, gold pan
and sack of flour he drove cattle from
Cottonwood creek to Alder gulch. For
tune has smiled upon him since those
days, but the spirit he then displayed he
has possessed ever since. AS a result he
has cattle on a thousand hills. and a
home both in Deer Lodge and in Helena.
He has served term in the legislature.
but otherwise has kept out Of politics
despite the persistent requests of his
party friends He is one of the grand
old men of the state, having personal
friends and business interests all over
Eastern and Northern Montana. His
life has been a busy one as it will con-
tinue to be for many years to come. for
he is hale and hearty and not much more
than so.
That he has decided to donate a sec. 900
library for the benefit of his neighbors
in Deer Lodge, and so increase it's at
tractiveness as an educational center, is
very much to his credit. The people OF
that beautiful little city will accept the
gift and ever hold the donor in grateful
remembrance.

will end the discussion. We hope to see Arizona added very soon to the grand sisterhood of sovereign states. This dispute hould be ended before the de- sired change shall occur.
 Congress has full power. with the consent of Utah which Is ready at any time. to add the strip to this state. but 1t would be better to settle the matter amicably. with the good feeling and approval of the people of Arizona, than to reach the result in an arbitrary manner. What reasonable objections can our Arizona friends have to pre- sent against the consummation of this long agitated project?
 It is comforting to know that our neighbors will try the efficacy of soft words before becoming arbitrary" One of the arguments used in favor of the proposition is that the Grand Canyon is impossible except at one point, and that for all practical pur- poses the strip" Is as foreign to Ari- zona as a remote state of the union. These are some of the reasonable ob- jections" which we offer to the plan: We are devoting all our energies at present to achieving statehood. and We dO not W1Sh 10 introduce any com plications. We do not wish to disturb the symmetry of our boundary. And more important thany anything else. while the strip is a terra incognita, largely, and is supposed to be good only for grazing. nobody knows what mineral riches 1t may yet unfold. It is only within the last few years that our people have learned that some of the most forbidding and desolate look ing and generally unpromising re- gions within our more than one hun dred thousand square miles are rich in the precious metals; until now no part of the desert is looked upon as impossible of new surprises in the way of great mineral development. The strip is good thing to hold-for the present, at least.
 We suggest to our Utah friends that they help us energetically in our ef- forts to get into the union and then why, then we'll take the annexation business under considera ton.
