STATE LAND ACQUISITION.

The recent change in the policy of the
state land Office requires that all state
lands now under lease to be appraised
and sold at figure as high at least as
their appraised value. The officials of
the land office are now at work list
ing the lands soon to be made the SUBJ
ject of sale and many settlers are deep
ly interested in these proceedings. In
a few months thousands of residents
stead of land leasers, changing their re-
lations to the state governments by ris-
ing from the status Of a tenant to that
of a taxpayer upon realty. 1t is alto
gether likely that the history of Mon
tana will not again contain the record of
a change more beneficial to the whole
people than that brought about by the
plans now being formulated by the land
office. In the agricultural section of the
state new homes will be made, added at
tachments will be created and many
citizens who are now transients in the
communities where they live will ad-
vance to the dignity of permanent resi-
dents with landed interests to care for
Not a few of those who will buy lands
at the sales soon to be held will be
forced to assume financial obligations
which will require years to discharge
These owners of Montana real estate will
be concerned in promoting the prosper
ity Of the state. They will be jealous
in guarding the good name of Montana
To have Montana known abroad as
place where just laws are rigidly OBJ
served, where individual rights are care
fully respected and investments are Sc
cure will mean to them easier terms with
those who take mortgages upon their
property and a lower rate of interest.
It will mean an opportunity for an army
of industrious people to secure homes free
from incumbrances by few years la

partment the increase in printing es-
adjustments during the past ten years
has been 1916 This brings the total
number up to q, 916 and shows a steady
advance in the line of business which
depends upon current news :~ppenings
for its stock in trade. Iowa now leads
the way in the proportion of newspa-
pers to population. Massachusetts
formerly held the place of honor and
the distinction was considered an indi-
cation Of the intellectual superiority OF
residents of the Bay state. That the
Hawkeye commonwealth should take
first place as a patron of newspapers Is
one Of the inexplicable changes that
are discovered as the census work pro-
crosses Western states have gained
steadily in the race for supremacy In the
past decade and the high mark set by
Iowa in the advance of the newspaper
business is not the least important of
the evidence supplied by the census
figures. Residents of western states
have been consoled by the confident
statement that intellectual products
seldom come to their highest develop
ment in low attitudes and many believe
the hub of learning is following the star
of empire and making it's way by easy
stages to the higher levels of the west
ern states.

WHAT the LAW SAYS.

I Newspapers of Montana have INDUCED
In playful badinage respecting the "exer-
else" INDUCED in by athletic young men
In the presence of large and interested
audiences in this city. Opinion appears
to be divided upon the matter Of classify
ing the exercise" bouts in which strenu-
pus boxers have been rendered unconsci-
pus by we'll directed jolts of a glove-cov-
cred fist. BY some it is said that the
exhibitions were harmless, tame and
without the elements which constitute a
prize fight. Other eminent authority
contends that the matches We're brutal
lights and came within the law prohibit
ting public exhibitions Of pugilism. All
these misgivings concerning the class to
which the exhibitions belong are with
out bearing upon the point raised by
those who wish to see the law enforced.
expressly declares that anyone who EN-
cages in, instigates, encourages or pro-
NOTES as principal, aid, second, umpire,
Or otherwise, any boxing match, with or
without gloves, or who attends or is
present at such a contest is
guilty of a misdemeanor." In the light of
this provision of the statute it should be
plain to the authorities that it is their
duty to prevent further exhibitions of the
Kind that have given Butte disagreeable
noteriety of late. Prize fight or boxing

NEXT MONDAYS PAGEANT.

Labor Days celebration in the city Of
Butte Monday bids fair to be a record
breaker. Preparations are being made to
make Butte's part of the celebration a
greater success than it has proved to be
In former years. Then, too, there is an
element contributing to the success Of
khe occasion that former celebrations
have not known. The enterprising COM
mittees who have charge Of the celebra-
kion for the labor unions of Butte pre-
vailed upon the railroads to offer low
excursion rate to this city on Labor Day.
Hhis means that Buttes streets will be
packed by resident sightseers and visitors
from every section of the state when the
great parade moves. In the hands of the
capable organizers who have planned the
celebration program the event will
doubtless reach high mark Of excel
fence as grand outing for members Of
organized labor. The Inter Mountain be-
speaks for Butte's labor day celebration
q full measure of success. A hint is also
given to residents Of distant parts of the
state, reminding them of the prepara-
eions now going forward in Butte. The
completed work of the committees will be
worth coming miles to see.

ONE VIEW OF TINE CASE.

1t Is not the purpose of the Inter
Mountain to discuss the law involved in
the action of the supreme court yester-
day respecting the Minnie Healey mine,
nor to predict whether in the final de.
termination Of the case the property
will go to the Amalgamated company or
the Montana Ore Purchasing company.
The immediate effect>of the decision was
to open the mine, to put men to work,
to build up payroll. The Inter Noun
tain Endorses that, on behalf of the bust
ness and labor interests and regrets only
that every mine in the district now
closed by litigation is not actively in op-
GRAFTON. Ultimately ALI questions OF law
will be settled on just basis. Tenn
porary advantages on one side or the
other are of less Importance to the peo-
pie than the question of continuous oper-
alton

Telegraph and telephone poles To-
Gated in the principal streets Of the city
have blossomed with warning notices
inhibiting expectoration on the side
walks. The ordinance prohibiting the
practice of eXpectorating on the side
walks Of Butte was passed as far back
as June % and has been violated dali,
since its passage. The usual means en-
ployed for the enforcement of the law
have not been resorted to and the city
authorities are now giving fair warn
ing by means of conspicuous notices
tina tall offenders will be severely dealt
with. The anti-expectoration ordin-
ance may be a good rule of conduct for
the government of the people OF Butte
If properly enforced but no ordinance
allowed to remain dead letter is worth
the spac it occupies on the municipal
records.

TIME FOR REFLECTION.

Residents of Montana are prOspering
In this political off year. Contrasted
with the conditions of twelve months
ago there is an appreciable lack of en-
tertainment but this deficiency is more
than compensated for by the improved
conditions in every line of business. A
gear ago in the height OF a political
campaign the stir and hustle and ex-
citement contributed not little to the
gaiety of the state but, 1t must be ad-
mitted, it went no farther. All the full
limitations of platforms, the harangues
Of stumpers, the hlare of bands and the
self praise indulgss in by Office seekers
awaited not a whit in the work of keep.
ting Montana in the current of present
day prosperity. The excitement of the
campaign sold no mines. attracted no
Investments, nor provided permanent
employment for labor. Luckily wise
national policy was Endorsed by the
country and Montana shared in the gen.
eral prosperity that came as the result
of prudent course. In this off year in
politics no lament is heard for the OPP
portunties that a political cOmpaigll
presents. When another campaign ar
rives voters of the state will have be-
tore them an example of general pros
perity that is the fruit of laws formed
to promote the best interests of the
whole people. The next political cam
paign in Montana will be an oppor'

offices who are in touch with the pres

Betrayal of the trust imposed by tn
voters. It is too late for voters to re

neglected but it is not too late to prof
by experience. The calm Of the politica
81 year is a good time for reflection.

reached the conclusion that Americans
are behind in this important respect. The
basis Of the statement Is that eight in
every hundred Americans have savings
bank accounts. twenty-six In every hum
dred Germans. twenty-five in every hum
dred British, and forty-seven In every
hundred Swiss. II the statement could
properly be stopped here the showing
might pass. but 1t Is necessary to add
that the average credit OF savings bank
deposltors in the United States IL $500.
while the average In France, Great Brit
ain, Switzerland and Prussia is between
So and $155. Savings deposits In this
country amount to $4,000, 00O, 600, or nearly
as much as those Of all the four foreign
countries named, though their combined
wealth is twice that Of the United States.
Americans have methods of thrift that
are but little practiced abroad. Thirteen
million regular life insurance policies are
held In this country, representing a value
OF $S,O00.000. Assessment associations
and fraternal orders represent a life in
surance of four billions more. Life insur-
arce policies in Great Britain, Germany,
and France combined are but little in ex-
cess Of a value Of Ave billions. Building
associations in this country have 1900, 900
members, with assets of $450, 900 900, an
everage of $3.50 per member. American
savings go largely into farms and homes.
In the United States the government
offers land for homestead a a nominal
price. The recent rush to Oklahoma,
and opening of lands there, Is form
OF thrift unknown and impossible in
Europe. The vastly superior opportuni-
ties for thrift here bring great tide of
European immigration. There is no re-
turn tide. No other people on the globe
can match the substantial savings of the
American people.

he be allowed to participate III the election
of the government at Washington. under
which he Hves-the president and the MEM

manded for the people of the insular ros-
sessions? Not word on this point, ana
it is safe to say that a proposition TO tons
effect would be voted down pretty unani-
mously an an Iowa or any other adminls-,
tration party convention While that Is
true, republican deltyerances respecting
the negro become tainted with incons1st-f
ency and hypocrisy to every candid mina,
and will be heard by the negro suppressors
in the south with ridicule and contempt.
Such is another consequence of the Philip

can.
It REQUIRES only the briefest statement
of the case to show that the exclusion OF
the Filipino and the inclusion Of the
southern negro in the national electorate
are perfectly consistent.
The republican party did not give the
suffrage to. nor does it demand 1t for. the
southern negro because he was black, as
our anti omnia contemporary seems to
think It gave it because he was and is
a native American of from one to three
centuries Indigenous ancestry, and as
| such certainly equally entitled to the suf-
frage with the naturalized American of
| five years residence. If the republican
party in the course of a war with Great
Britain or France or Germany had &C.
CURED for it's country title to territory
mainly populated by as many blacks as
those of the confederate states. 1t never
would have dreamed Of demanding that
they be allowed to participate in the cleo
| ton Of the government at Washington -
It would have given them. at the Cape or
| the Congo or the Cameroons, the same
government which it is now giving to the
insular possessions.
The republican party does not with
hold participation in national affairs
from Porto Ricans and Filipinos because
they are brown. A great many of them,
in fact. are white. 1t withholds it be-
cause they are merely a possession Of the
nation; because they have a narrowly
limited interest in a practically complete
unacquaintance with its policies. tradi-

tire lack of preparation for the assump-
ton of the arduous duty of self-goveru-
