The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-03-19

Indiana intends to try a new pre-
ventive of lynching. The upper house
of the Legislature of that state has
passed a bill for a law declaring the
Office of sheriff vacant whenever a
prisoner is taken from the sheriff or
his deputies by a mob and lynched.
The bill also provides that no sheriff
removed for that cause shall be rein
stated, unless he is able to show salts
factory proof to the governor that he
was absolutely powerless to protect
the prisoner. As understood, the bill
intends that a sheriff shall do more
than merely demonstrate with a mob
determined OIL a Iynching and that he
shall use greater force than mere
argument to defeat the object of the
mob. The Trainer of the bill evidently
is Of the opinion that a man anxious
to be sheriff if he is elected would dis
like to lose his job before the time for
legal expiration arrives and conse-
quently would probably do a little
promiscuous shooting if a mob APP
peared and all other had
failed. a

EXPANDING LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY.

Omaha Bee: Another feature of
the growth of the live stock industry
is brought out prominently by the
public sale of a herd of fine cattle at
South Omaha. Twenty years ago the
auctioneer who presided conducted
his first sale. 1t was for the same
owner, who has just retired from the
breeding business. The average of
prices at that first sale was but a trile
over 500, while the average of prices
paid at the sale just closed was in ex-
cess of $500. These facts contain a
volume of information.
That cattle breeders are willing to
pay four times more for we'll bred ami
mails now than they were twenty years
ago argues conclusively in favor Of the
proposition that the future of the live
stock industry is in the line of small
herds and good blood. The day Of the
haphazard breeding of the range, when
'the survival Of the fittest" meant
that the stronger were the animals
who survived in the spring, has
passed. The day of closer attention
to parentage and better care TO,
offspring is here, and the cattle baron
Of the old days will soon be a memory
even as his methods are now obsolete.
From the farm herd, carefully nur
tured and tended, the packers viii
eventually draw their supply O.
beeves. Progress is as memorable il
this line as in all others, and success
comes only to him who keeps up will
the march of improvements.

LET IT BE

Governor Toole has signed the new
gambling law and the act of gambling
is now d simple misdemeanor instead
of a felony. In attaching his sigma
lure to the bill his excellency said
he did it with some misgivings as to
the result. However, as it had been
commended that because of the severe
penalties it carried the old law was
practically a dead letter, he felt con-
strained to give his aid to the expert
ment calculated to purify the moral
atmosphere of the state. 1t is too
early yet too pass Judgment upon the
new law, but it is notorious that the
old was never enforced and as far as
the good it did might as we'll never
have been enacted. AS an xcuse for
their failure to make effort to enforce
it the authorities of every county and
municipality in the state claimed 0 n
viction would be impossible. as no
jury could be found willing to punish
a nan as a felon for doing that which
before the state had recognized as Il
legitimate business by licensing it the
same as other occupations. That ex-
cuse can no longer be offered and it
now remains to be seen whether the
officers were really honest when they
made it. The law as it now stands
imposes no very YER penalties and
failure to enforce it will leave the au-
thorities open to the charge of neg
lecting their duty and being wilfully
blind to lawlessness. It is now up to
them to show whether they really de-
sire to do that which they formerly
claimed could not be done or whether
they will ignore the new law with the
same persistency as the old.
1t is useless to say that gambling
has stopped because the law forbids
the practice. Everybody knows the
contrary, aver though everybody does
not gamble, and the officers know it,
or at least should know it better than
any one else. At their instance prob
ably as much as at the instance Of any
body the new law was passed and they
should now give the people proof Of
the sincerity they have been protesting

CUBA WILL ACCEPT.

Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.) {:
All tbs indications are that the Gu
bans will comply with the suggestions
of congress as to the adjustment of
their relations with the United States.
Seniors Capote and Cisneros and the
other revolutionist leaders have al
ready spoken, but there does not ap-
pear from the reports from Havana to
BIZ any general interest taken in the
matter. The truth, it is pretty clear,
is that the majority of the Cubans
recognize the important element of
safety in the paramountcy of the
United States in their affairs for the
present. The Spanish element, who
make up some of the best of the popu-
lation, would much prefer annexation,
as they have great reason to dread cor
fiscation of their property and other
oppression should the radical element
get into power, and no doubt conser-
vative Cubans feel the same way.
The suggestions of congress embody
nothing that is offensive to Cuba or
that will inure to the prejudice of the
real interests Of the island. The self
respect of Cubans ought not to be
wounded because the great and power
full nation which undertook a war for
their sakes now asks that some coIces-
sions of mutual benefit be made. AS
yet there has been no demand that
the Cubans reimburse us for the vast
we have male or the island,
but the United States cannot in reason

GENERAL HARRISON'S BODY
LIES IN STATE.
THIS AFTERNOON
Owing to Limited Seating Capacity
of Church Admittance
Is Restricted.

90 AAAuS Nv ~
meath a canopy of black painted on the
rotunda of the capitol building, the
casKet covered with the silkeD folds
of the stars and stripes surrounded by
thousands of blossoms, while over all,
swung the great battle flag hat flew
from the war ship Indiana in the naval
battle off Santiago, the body of ex-
President Harrison lay in state for
nine hours today.
During that time fully SO, 900 peo-
pie passed by the coffin to take a last
look at tie distinguished dead, and
when at 10 O'Clock the capitol doors
were finally closed and the people told
that no more could enter, there were
several thousand more waiting pa
tiently in line. The body lay in state
from ITO O'Clock in the afternoon till
10 O'Clock at night, and not once dur
ing these hours was there a break or
halt in the line which passed rapidly
by on the right and left of the casket.
1t was Indiana's day with her dead,
and the esteem and honor in which
General Harrison was held by his fell
low citizens was most touchingly re-
vealed. In front of the handsome home,
along the streets, through which the
remains were carried on their way to
and from the state house, in the lines
that stretched at times a half-mile
from the doors of the capitol building,
so1r ~-o4 1,,l 1ls1l~o,> .~N@~l Co.,
hours waiting their opportunity to pay
a tribute Of respect to the dead. It
was an immense throng, but n more
easy to handle, or rather n that re.
quired less handling, gathered
anywhere. There was no jostling,
no disorder, no disturbance of any
kind. Not a single Objectionable
feature marred the day. Weather
more perfect could not have been de-
vised-a trife cool in the early morn
ing, it. grew warmer during the day
and vas most pleasant throughout.
The funeral services tomorrow after
noon at the First Presbyterian church
will be simple and transformations.
The arrangements for the services
have been practically completed in
detail. The church has been richly,
but simply decorated with drapings of
black and white and of the American
flag. The entrances have been draped
in black. In the interior and by the
way of a contrast to the more sombre
drappings, the altar and rostrum are
covered with a profusion of palms and
potted plants. Owing to the limited
capacity of the church, which will
seat only about 1000, and because of
the great demand for seats, the COM
mittee on arrangements found it nee
essary to that admission to
the church would be to friends of the
family by card. The services tomor-
row are intended only for the friends
and relatives of General Harrison and
this decision was deemed advisable in
order to guarantee that the church
would not be overrun with persons
who had no claim to entrance, so that
the friends would not he crowded out.

Probably President Hadley is be-
ginning to wish that he had spoken on
some other subject in his recent adj
dress at Old South church. The time
required to explain that his reference
to a emperor bossing things at Wash

be even greater than he devoted to
the lecture which has caused him all
the trouble.
