DrE D Roberts the new state veteri-
marian is native of Wisconsin and is
the first native of the state ever ap-
pointed to this Office. He was born in
Racine county in 1862 and the greater
part of his early life was spent on farm.
He graduated from the Chicago Vet
Urinary college in 1888 and came i'm
mediately to this city where he took up
the practice of his profession and has re-
sided here since that time. During his
residence in this city he has built up a
practice that he can feel proud Of His
friends are without number and no state
appointment that has been made in this
part of the state for long time has
given more general satisfaction than
this one. The office carries a salary of
$4,000 year and expenses. When it
was first established it did not entail
very much work upon the veterinarian,
but it has grown so rapidly in impor-
lance that it now requires almost the en-
tire time of the veterinarian to discharge
the duties of his office.

The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-08-22

The Standard has not enlightened Its
readers as to the probable direction Of
it's political syn1pathies in this warm
weather period between campaigns, but
it's ready defense Of the democracy in
the matter Of recent disclosures in two
great cities Of the country indicates a
return to its old weakness. In some re-
credit. Journalism has yet to produce a
man who, after conducting a democratic
newspaper through the bitter campaigns
Of decade Of Montana politics, has
such control Of his conscience or his
pen as to climb over the breastwor<s
and participate in the slaughter Of his
former friends and demonstrate the fall
lacy Of his former convictions. There
was once man named Ziegenfuss &C
cused Of being capable of that sort of
work and charged with doing it on the
Miner, but to his friends he confessed
that it cost him more for whisky while
he was trying to make the change than
his salary amounted to. and one day he
decided the thing couldn't be done,
handed in his resignation, went out and
shook hands with everybody he knew
and then left the country. Poor old
Ziegenfuss! His own worst enemy, but
everybody's friend; a most capable and
good tempered man and a prodigious
worker; a jolly, careless, generous man,
always ready to defend a fellow worker,
yet wholly unable to control his own ap-
petite. He is said to be in New Zealand
now, the land OF reform.

A DEMOCRATIC CRITICISM.

From the Great Falls Tribune (dem)
In the past the Tribune has urged that
the people Of Montana should stay judg-
ment regarding the accusations made
against Judge Harvey Of Butte until
such time as he had been given an OPP
portunity to disprove the charges. It
hoped that the Judge would dispose of
the accusations against him in such q
manner that the fair name of Montana's
judiciary would not be smirched, and
that his own skirts would be cleared.
So far he has not done so, and the lat
est developments have forced the Tri-
bune. reluctantly, to the conclusion that
he cannot do SO.
Judge Harvey did not see fit to take
any action in the matter before leaving
the state. Upon the face Of it that did
not look well, but the Tribune con-
tinued to hope that a satisfactory expla-
nation would be forthcoming. Upon
reaching Illinois he gave out an inter-
view-which should have been given out
In Notwithstanding his promise that
he would prove that all the accusations
OF wrongdoing made against him We're
false.
On another page Of the Tribune will be
found an affidavit from Judge Harvey
that he decided the Minnie Healey case
| on its merits. That. We take it, Is his
defense. That is all that he has to offer
in the effort to disprove the charges
made against him. If it Is. then the judge
will stand convicted In the eyes of the
people of Montana. An affidavit of gen.
eralities such as that will not be &C.
cepted as proving his innocence. Rather
it will be taken as showing his guilt.
If this is all he has to offer in defense,
Judge Harvey had much better have re-
manned silent. &
The Judge could have stood on his
dignity and refused to notice the at
tacks made upon him. From a personal
standpoint it seems as though that
would have been the wisest course for
him to pursue. However, having de-
cided to make an affidavit, the proper
thing would have been to take up all
charges against him and, II he could,
deny them. The fact that he has not
done so is almost conclusive evidence
that he could not.
It will be noticed that Judge Harvey
does not deny that letters passed be-
tween Mrs. Barckett and himself; nor
does he deny that these letters contained
offers Of big return if he would decide
the case IN FAVOR OI 1eluAc. ne uOcs
not deny his various trips with Mrs
Bracket nor does he say that he was
not drunk during the trial of the case
in question. In fact he touches none OF
the accusations made against him. He
merely says that he was not bribed
which may be true; and that he was not
Influenced, something that nobody can
know but himself.
The Tribune has no other interest In
this case except that the fair name sof
Montana may be protected. 1t cares
nothing for the contestants in the Min
ME Healey case, but 1t did hope that the
judiciary Of Montana would escape the
smirching with which it was threat
ened by the accusations in the Butte
court. With sorrow it has come to the
conclusion that Montana must bear the
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-08-22

The Inter Mountain has been asked
why it does not print the testimony in
the Bordeaux divorce suit. For the
same reason that it did not print the
Harvey affidavits-that it is not fit
for reading in the homes of the people.
Scandal is not news. Legal proceedings
involving indecent details may be neces-
sary at times, but their publication in
the daily press is not necessary. There
are some innocent and respectable people
connected directly or indirectly with the
divorce case at issue. and some, perhaps
that are neither innocent nor respecta-
BILE. For both reasons this newspaper
declined to publish the evidence.

FASHION NOTES.

Cabochons form a salient idea in trim.
ming effects. as they appear in great num-
Ders on most of the stylish hats. Caboch-
ons as large as a dollar Of faceted pet or
Jewels of silver, of steel and Of gun metal
are the proper thing for the fall hats.
Those OF the size of quarter in gun metal
promise to be the most popular used for
utility hats.
Quietness might be said to be the pre-
vatling idea Of the autumn hats as no
bright tints are seen as yet. Gray Is very.
prominent among the color tones and
brown Is very much more favored than for
many seasons past. judging from these adj
vance showings.
-
Although 20 GainsborougA seems the
feature Of the fall millinery wor.~ it will
be by no means used to the exclusion Of
all others. The marQuise shape, the
three-cornered, the nat, and numerous
other shapes VIA ST.. be to the fore.

Feathers as garnitures are to be almost
a craze this autumn. Ostrich plumes for
the gainsborough, nagelois, pompons,
heavy breasts and WINGS quilts. whole
birds. cocque plumes. etc, etc, are to be
almost indispensable to the correct chape-
aux with the advent Of cooler weather.

There is some talk of the opening of
q brokerage office in Butte at which min
ing stocks may he bought or sold on COM
mission without the usual heavy tele-
graph tolls. Some of our real estate
firms do some business of this sort as an
accommodation to their patrons, but the
city is without firm dealing exclusively
in mining stocks. The number of min
ing shares held in Butte, however, by
all classes of people would be surprising

The city council last evening discussai
the recent exchange of compliments be-
tween Messrs. Oglesby and Wade to dis
cover whether or not it could be called a
prize fight. OF course it was a prize
fight. It was in plain violation Of the
law. 1t was in defiance of public senti-
ment. There will probably be many
more such exhibitions If the officers
whose duty it is to enforce the law take
no action to that end. But they repre-
sent the people, and the people rule.
There will be prize fights if the city gov
eminent permits them. It is for the au-
thorities to decide whether to encourage
the pastime or stop it. They alone have
the power to decide.
