BILLINGS GOOD FORTUNE.

Missoulian: Among the early rail
road promoters who projected rail
roads into the west and northwest will
ever be named Frederick Billings, who
is now numbered with the past. The
old Atlantic and Pacific, whose sue
cessor is the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco Railway, was one of the roads
in which Mr.. Billings figured largely
and the Northern Pacific also engaged
his attentions to such an extent that
when a name was sought for one Of
the stations along It's line his name
was given to what has since grown
to be a prosperous and thriving city
of no mean proportions.
For some time there resided in Bill
ings, as a representative of the Bill
ings' interests, Parmly Billings, a son
of the first mentioned, who also has
passed away. AS a memorial to his
brother, Frederick Billings, Jr, of
New York has erected a library build
ing which has been rendered the city
and which will be dedicated Tuesday
with appropriate ceremonies. The

SPREAD OF icoNocLAsM.

Professor Mitchell of the Boston
Theological college is one of the lat
est of the more important men of the
country who are finding themselves
affected with the spirit of iccnoclasm
which is possessing the minds of so
many who have heretofore been in
full accord with all the teachings and
precepts Of orthodoxy. He is record
ed as expressing his disbelief in the
story of the fall CT Adam and de-
clares that such In incident never
occurred. The patrialchs he charac-
terizes as fictiors and as never having
had any more existence than the char
acters in the Had and sas Moses is
not the author of the P%entateuch. But
the climax of his %infdelity is reached
when he ayers that Christ while on
earth did not represent the Disty.
Great wonder exists at the an
nouncement that the Methodist con-
ference which met at Los Angeles last
week broke up in Confusion when by
a vote it was ordered that the profess
sor be tried or the charge of heresy.
How anybody could be found in a
Methodist conference who would op-
pose such a vote is difficult to under
stand, but the fact that some such
had seats in the Los Angeles meeting
is very evident or there would have
been non of the uproar which the
telegraph says ensued when the re-
suit of the vote was announced. The
fact that men were found who OPP
posed the proposition must he taken
as evidence of the entertainment of
heretical beliefs by others than the
professor and the fear that if the in
vestigation was permitted to take
place he would not be the only one
who might be found guilty.
Viewed from almost any standpoint,
the incident is but illustrative of the
materialistic belief of the present age
and the manifest contempt for things
which for ages have ben held as
sacred and the consequent disbelief
and infidelity which is giving SO much
concern to those who adhere to the
old way.

REASON is ou1.

At last it seems an explanation
has been found for the fierce opposi-
ton to Pension Commissioner Evans
which has existed in some quarters
for a long time. The pension law
yers have formed a community of
interests" for the purpose of secur-
ing greater fees than they are allow
ed under a decision by the commits
sioner, which decision is based upon
the law. By it they are allowed So
for every case handled by them,
whether it be in connection with an
original claimant or one who is try
ing to obtain an increase. The law
yers want So and in order to secure
that sum have formed a trust.
AS the attorney fee must be paid
by the pensioner, it will be seen that
the refusal of the commissioner to
certify to the increase which they de-
mand is the real cause of their en-
nifty Of Evans and all the plant that
has been heard concerning the I'M
fairness of his treatment of the old
soldiers comes from the sharks who
want to grow rich off the misfortunes
of those whom have rendered the
country service in time of war. 1t
was knowledge of this which prompt
ed President Mckinley to stand by
Evans and as President Roosevelt
may be depended upon to be fully
informed as to the condition existing
it is safe to assume that the efforts
which may be made during his ad-
ministration to GUST Evans will be no
more successful than those proved to
be under Mckinley.

AWAITS HIS END.

The courts have finished with Leon
f. Czolgosz and he is now in the Gus
tody of those whose duty it is to
carry into execution the mandate
which has assigned him to a felon's
death. His days are numbered and
the span between himself and eter-
nifty is short. What little time re-
mains for him on earth holds out no
hope and soon he must answer to a
higher tribunal for the commission of
his crime. What his thoughts must
be only imagination can picture, but
certain it is that fear is Juggling at
his soul and his mind is troubled.
Unlike the innocent victim of his ha-
tredforlaw and order and blind fury at
established conditions, he cannot view
the end with calm repose and fear
lessly wait the moment when his soul
shall have to wing it's flight into the
hereafter. Murder weighs it down
and the stain of blood is upon it.
Realization of his crime has forced
itself upon him and he is no longer
the defiant, boastful fiend he was a
short time ago. Covering he sits in
his cell and while remors may gnaw
his vitals and fearful forebodings op-
press him, nowhere in the world is
there one human being that has aught
of pity for him, unless it be the heart
broken and Inundated old mother
whom he disgraced and whose mind
he has filled with unutterable 0
Even the father whose name he bears
has disowned him and demanded his
punishment. Fearful is the penalty
which the blind victims of anarchy
must pay for their short sightedness
and awful should be %retribution Wis
tied upon them. May all who sub
scribe to it's tenets perish even as
Czolgosz is doomed to perish.

LOSE Either A

While the cigar dealers of the state
are fighting the gambling law as it
applies to nickle-in-the-slot machines
in connection with their business,
the gamblers of Butte are engaged in
a battle with it in it's application to
their vocation.
A few days ago n of their mem
bers was tried in the district court
on the charge of conducting a gam
bling house. Although he had retain
ed five attorneys, the accused made
no defense and the case was permit
ted to be decided against him with
out any opposition. Understanding
that it was a test case, the Judge
before whom it was tried imposed the
minimum penalty, but gave warning
that his action in that particular
case should not be construed as es-
tablishing a precedent and intimated
that the next a. who was convict
ed before him on a like charge would
not get of SO lightly. Instead of pay
ing the fine an arrangement was en-
tered into between the defendants
lawyers and the county attorney by
which security was given for the
amount pending q decision from the
supreme court, to which an appeal is
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-10-01

to be taken forthwith. The ground
of the appeal is based on the general
plea of unconstitutionality of the
law under which the conviction was
secured.
If the lawyers who have expressed
themselves in connection with the
trial are correct in their opinion, the
men who have set out to upset the
law will be the losers, no matter how
the supreme court may decide. They
hold that if the existing law is de-
clared to be unconstitutional the de-
cision will have the effect of rein
stating the old law, the provisions of
which were more severe than those
of the law now combatted. Under
the former gambling is made a fell
ony and punishable by Imprisonment
in the penitentiary. In addition it
also contains a clause providing for
the confiscation and destruction of all
gambling paraphernalia found by the
authorities. AS the latter, from the
state down to the lowest policeman
who patrols his beat in Butte have
all declared their intention of 'enforc-
ing the law and suppressing gambling.
it would look as though it we're call
off" with the gentlemen who gambol
on the green. Should the attorneys
whose opinion is quoted have the
view, the gamblers instead Of
played into the hands Of their enemy
ard brought greater misery and dis
tress upon themselves than they com
plain of under the existing condi-
tons.

Columbia again showed her ability to
beat a boat Of English construction
when it comes to the game of drifting
and as in the races with the old chal-
lenger she showed herself capable of
weathering any kind of wind that
may blow the traditional ''big guns
never SO hard, it would look as though
Sir Thomas will have to again drink
his famous tea out of some other than
Americas cup. Although the test in
the first race was not satisfactory in
every respect to the yachting sharps,
they have gained fresh courage and
confidence and are not very much dis
turbed as to the outcome of the con-
test. Columbia has proved herself to
be a heavy weather craft, consequent
ly not much apprehension is felt in
the event that strong winds mark the

The pictures of the assassin Czol-
gosz which are sent out from the
Auburn death house present a differ
ent man than the cold blooded MUIR
derer who only a few days ago boast
ed of his crime as something noble
and a duty performed for the benefit
OF the human race. Fear is accom-
plishing what his blunted moral SEN
slbilities were unable to accomplish
and he is on the verge of a collopse.
He shrinks from those who are guard
ing him and his every action is that of
a moral and physical coward. Sullen
and silent he lies on the narrow bed
of his cell and accepts what is given
him with the thankless growl of a
beast confined and and deprived of his
liberty. Although he has said he is
sorry for what he has done, if sorrow
finds any place in his shriveled soul
it is for himself and if he has pity it
is wasted upon his own miserable self,
The religious training which he says
he received in his childhood is begin
hing to assert itself to the extent of
causing him to realize what the con-
sequences are that he may expect
when he finds himself before the bar
of justice to which he sent the soul
of his victim, but unlike that soul,
his own has much to answer for when
that awful moment comes which is
now drawing near.
Alone he spends his days, save for
the silent, grim guards who never
leave him and who watch his every
movement that he may not cheat the
law and in his desperation end the
torment and agony of soul that now
fill his perverted mind. He is not
the recipient of the mawkish senti-
ment and %sickening adulation that is
permitted to go out to so many MUIR

If the Minneapolis Times has been
correctly informed something is like
ly to occur very soon that may cause
considerable feeling in at least one
community of interests" which at
present seems to be getting along
swimmingly. The newspaper referred
to says that in the forthcoming report
of the Great Northern Railway, COM
pany an unpleasant surprise is in
store for those connected with the
Northern Pacific and Burlington COM
panies. In a carefully prepared map
which is to accompany the report
the Burlington and Northern Pacific
systems have been entirely eliminat-
ed and are incorporated into the Great
Northern, making it appear as though
the three roads are only one system
and all bearing the personal label of
Jim Hill. Should this turn out to
be true somebody may be depended
upon to get wrathy and a badly dis
organized and disrupted Community
is likely to follow.

der the loss of her provinces. Tacna
and africa, and Bolivia feeling ugly
over Chile's denial to her OF a sea
port. Chile objected to participation
in the congress because she knew the
subject Of arbitration would come up,
and she did not wish to subscribe to
any proposition which would bring
present questions between herself
and other states under oblig alton of
arbitration. !.
1t is understood that Chile will
withdraw from the congress if it de-
termines that arbitration shall cover
differences originating in the past.
Still, i. is a gain to have the Spanish
American republics consent to repre-
%sentation at the congress-. When they
all get together, it may be possible
to secure such a ~pervasive spirit of
good will that all asperities may dis
appear. The influence of such an as
sembly might, indeed, bring about the
voluntary disarmament of Columbia
and Venezuela, although when the
blood of these mercurial people is up
it is difficult to get them to wrap their
heads in cool, wet towels and bring
themselves to sober reflection.

gress, it is possible that much more

gress held at Washington through the
efforts of Mr.. Blaine. Our people are
more appreciative now of the large
advantages which have accrued to
European enterprise through our neg
lect of c%ultivating commercial rela-
Spanish-American neighbcrs. There
is a growing desire to increase our
trade in that quarter, since the reve-
lation has been made of the enor-
nous amount of European capital
which has been invested in South
and Central America, Great Britain
and Germany leading, the aggregate
being estimated at some 50, 500, 000, 600
while they hold the bulk of the trade.
Our European competitors would
like to keep us out of Spanish-Ameri-
ca, but they cannot do it if our people
go about extending their trade in a
practical way. The coming congress,
properly utilized by this nation, will
no doubt result in a new era of COM
mercial intercourse with our neigh
bors, based upon the removal, by a
better understanding, of their unrea-
sonable antipathy and jealousy to-
ward us, which has not infrequently
cropped out in the past.
