WARNING ON POLYGOMY,

The Gazette is in receipt of a cir
cular letter from the Interdenomina-
tional Council of Women for Christian
and Patriotic Service, an organization
which has enlisted in the cause of a
constitutional amendment to prohibit
the practice of polygamy in the Unit
ed States. AS indicated by it's name
the council is composed of members
OF the various churches and while en-
inently a Christian society is not DOM
mated by any one church. It also

put in private hands a power of quasi
taxation to build up industries, where
is the dividing line that bars out the
use Of public money in the provision
of i%rrigating waters for the benefit of
agriculture in regions where it cannot
exist for lack of sufficient ~railfall?
In all the arid region where private
or state enterprise has not acted, and
rel there in regions not provided,
the government owns large areas cap
able of productiveness if put under
water. Would not public money be
properly spent in making these lands
available? Other matters may crowd
irrigation off, and it must fight it's way
as all new movements have to, but it
has come to stay until it gets atten-
tiOn.

IRRIGATION.

st. Paul Dispatch: Irrigation of the
arid and sub-arid lands of the states
whose supply of moisture is cut off
by the Rocky mountains is a live ques-
ton, a. shown by it's persistence in
the face of congressional rebuffs. The
nature of the situation makes it a
national question Rivers refuse to
stop at state lines and the retaining
reservoirs must be built in states 9TH

ton because of the need by the one
of water withheld for irrigation by
the other. Something has been done
by private enterprise, something, as
in California, by state legislation,
but the field is too large and the in
terests too great and diverse to make
it a less matter than one for the ma
ton.
II it is proper for the nation to i'm

ITo,s PASS.

st. Paul Dispatch: 1t was signif-
cant, that refusal of Marquis Ito to be
transmitted from place to place,
across this continent Of magnificent
distances, as a peripatetic dead
head" 1t appeared to puzzle his ex-
cellency. Possibly his attitude puz-
zled the railway magnates. 1t need
not puzzle the public.
The marquis has been in America
before. Presumably each of those
five times he paid his fare like an hon
est man. If it had been otherwise,
he would not have exhibited this sur.
prise; indeed, before he left Tokyo
his secretary would have intimated
to the railway companies, that his al
most-majesty, Marquis Ito, was con-
templating a trans-Paciic tour, and
passes would have, been Immediately
forthcoming.
The key to the puzzle is this, that
thirty years ago and less, possibly up
to the last decade. the railroad man

was the railroad man. He built his
lines into the wilderness, he wreck

was the railroad man. He built his
lines into the wilderness, he wreck
ed" his neighbors, and his chief OBJ
ject in life vas to gather together
In a central plexus a glittering sys-
tenn of rails, a trunk line, and be him
self styled President" The vision
of these railroad kings did not ex-
tend beyond the terminus of their
systems. They were merely railroad
men. Lately they have changed. Not
at Washington is more known of the
conditions of the world, it's possible
political changes, it's. necessities in
commerce, it's new markets. These
statesmen are more than content to
leave practical politics alone. The
world is their field. And no railroad
magnate can expect to succeed who
cannot hold the world in the hollow
of his mental grasp.
That is the reason that Marquis Ito
finds this change in the attitude of
the railroad man toward him. That
is the reason why the railroad man
considers the Marquis Ito with so
much more delicate consideration
than has ever before been done. I'm
derstand. The railroad statesman is
not working" the marquis. Both the
statesman and the marquis are too
large-minded and too remote from
w%ard-heeler methods to think that
either one can work" the other 1t
is merely an exchange of courtesy;
it is in no sense bribery.
That which appeals to the student
OF Japanese affairs most strongly in
this affair of Marquis Ito is not the
fact but the significance of the fact.
Evidently in little Japan all men,
from premiers to the cheapest grade
of tourists, pay their way. Japan,
Judging from this, must regard bust
ness as business, and also politics as
politics, affairs of the government as
affairs of the government. There is
no mixing of cases, no confounding of
luuCLlUuS. IL the business man is
not permitted to dictate in politics,
neither is the politician permitted to
make politics his business. The i'm
personal functions of the state are not
to be allied to the personal functions
Of business. Little Japan in this
definite separation Of the two states
may afford a lesson in contrasts to
that of New Zealand. In the one the
strength Of the rulers and the limited
electorate will permit the "paternal"
system, the real essence of monarchy,
to work itself out. In the other, the
omnipotence of the people, their abil-
ity to govern themselves, is at stake.
We have, therefore, in sight of each
other, across the Pacific, these two
principles placed in the most admir-
able working conditions possible. He
who at this stage Of development
chooses between the two states will
be a venturesome economist. o.

AT GREAT FALLS.

Two forces are opposed to each
other at Great Falls and as the ma
terial welfare of the city is involved
in the fight between the contending
sections the struggle is of more than
ordinary interest to the people of the
Cataract City. One of the forces, the
Business Mems association, is endeav-
oring to advance the growth and pros
perity of the town, while the other,
the city council, seems determined to
throw it's aid and assistance in that
direction for the benefit of some other
town. Just why the aldermen are do
ing so is not known at this distance,
but all events they r on record as
favoring Helena to the manifest detri-
ment of their own city. Instead of
doing as city councils of all cities do

TUESDAY, ocTo5ER IS, 1901.
OF LOCAL

A few days ago an article appeared
treated of a subject of more than
passing interest to the business men
of this city. 1t was an account of
the changes which it is proposed to
make in the mail service between
this city and the country to the north
of Lavina. When the news was CIV
en- out The Gazette believed that the
necessity for doing something to avert
contamination of the plans of the
self upon the minds Of those to whom
the most serious consequences are
threatened and that immediate steps
would be taken to bring about a
change. So far, however, it seems no
body has thought it worth while to
take the initiative and the matter is
allowing to go by without receiving
the attention it merits.
Aside from discommoding a large
number of people who reside in the
territory mentioned, the proposed
change of schedule and routes will
also affect a good many of the bust
ness houses Of the city. The mail
order business which is now being
done by the merchants will be a
thing of the past, as it has been shown
that it will be next to an impossible
ity to dispatch or receive letters from
the Offices beyond Lavina and the
trade that now comes here will be
diverted elsewhere. While all may
not be concerned in the matter, many
are, and any channel calculated to
increase the trade of the city should
be kept open and new ones added
because it is a we'll established fact
in the commercial world that anything
which tends to increase the business
of n line is of proportionate bene-
fit to all.
The Gazette doubts not that if prop
er representation were made in the
Spremises to Senator Clark he could
be relied upon to lend his assistance
to the people and bring his influence
to bear to prevent what promises to
be aserious matter to the business
interests of Billings.

award the contract to some home pub
fishing concern, they have ignored the
bids Of the local printers and have
given a fat contract to a firm doing
business at the state capital. Their
action becomes all the more inexplic-
able if the following from the Tribune
is a correct account of the matter.
The Tribune says:
"The printing contract has been
J angling fire for the past two months.
During that time the city has adver-
tised three times and three times
Great Falls printers have submitted
bids, each time to be rejected and the
city clerk authorized to advertise
again. The result is that the prices
at which the contract has been let
to a firm outside of Great Falls, are
higher by a good deal than were the
4rst and second bids put in by Great
Falls printers. While the bids at
which Great Falls printers offered to
do the city work are less than the
merchants of the city are paying for
the same class of work at the pres
ent time, the city refused to contract
at home but kept on advertising until
such a time as outside firms would
put in bids. The State Printing COM
pany to whom the contract for job
work and books of record for the COM
ing year was let last night, is not the
lowest bidder by several hundred dol
lars, but the members of the city
council have their satisfaction in the
knowledge that the work will not be
done at home

ACTING

The latest guessing from Washing
ton concerning the Schley court of
inquiry is that it will be we'll along
toward the middle of November before
all the testimony shall have been
heard. The public, which at first was
interested in the inquiry to the ex-
tent of reading every word of evidence
submitted, has grown tired of the
thing and it is safe to say that very
few now take the trouble and time
to wade through the columns of stuff
that are sent out from Washington
every day. What was supposed would
be a direct, concise statement by wit
nesses has developed into a recital
Of conjectures and suggestions on
their part and every word of testi-
mony at all possible of favorable con-
struction to the applicant has to be
fairly wrug from the men who ap-
pear before the court. The defects
of memory exhibited by many of the
- tlu1J lSlAdl hdUlc. MEL
who because of their training and oc-
cupation are reasonably supposed to
be capable of giving direct
to questions and making statements
Immediately to the point, take refuge
behind equivocation and indulge in
conjectures instead of stating facts
as they know them. The amount of
feeling antagonistic to Schley which
exists in the coterie of followers of
Sampson is indeed astonishing. While
it would, perhaps, be wrong to accuse
some of the witnesses who have ap-
peared before the court of stating un-
truths, it is not unfair, however, to
say that they are the most unwilling
lot of witnesses that were ever sum-
moned to testify before any tribunal.
Unwilling to bluntly state untruths,
they resort to the most despicable of
all forms of defamation-that of in
uendo. When finding themselves
pressed by counsel for Schley they
grow irritable under the merciless
cross-examination they have to sub
NIT to and plainly show their dislike
Of the persistentcy displayed by the
lawyers in their endeavors to get at
the truth

tunate AFFAIR for more than one mar

JUST A SUGGESTION.

The people of Pendelton, Ore, have
put into effect an idea that might be
appropriated with good results by the
people of Billings. The Pendelton-
ians have inaugurated a system of
monthly market fairs and Judging
from the success which attended the
first, held last week, have no reasons
for. regretting the experiment.
AS indicated by it's name, the fair
was held more for the purpose of af-
fording an opportunity for the people
such articles al they had to sell than
merely exhibit them in friendly com
petition. Unfortunately no means is
at hand for ascertaining the details
of the management or other particu-
lars in connection with the fair, moth
ing being sent out by the dispatches
than the mere announcement that the
fair had been held and that trading
had been SO good that the demand
was greater than the stuff offered
could supply. ..... ...
No reason can be advanced why
the Inauguration of such a system of
market fairs could not be made sue
cesstul in this city. If it is believed
that because Of the sparsity Of settle
ment of the territory which would
have to be depended upon for success
of the fairs it would be inadvisable
to hold them as often as once every
month, greater time might be permit
ted to elapse between them, say six
weeks or two months. The material
for trading exists here as well as
in Oregon and the spirit of trade is
no less developed in the people of
this locality than in those of eastern
Oregon. Let it become known that
fairs are held here at regular stated
times and at which those wishing to
buy or sell will have an opportunity
to do their trading and it will be only
a short time until people from all
over eastern Montana and northern
Wyoming will come here to do bust.
ness and the experience of Pendel
ton will be. repeated-more buyers
than sellers will be found. The ex.
pense attending such affairs need not
be great and as the benefits to be
derived will prove in an inverse ratio
the business men and dealers of all
kinds could we'll afford to contribute
the amount necessary to defray the
cost Of the initial fair. After that
the others would no doubt be SELF
sustaining.
Here is an opportunity for the Com.
mercial committee of the Billings
club to make a nov in the direction
of doing something that comes within
the legitimate scope of it's purposes
and also extend the commercial i'm
portance of the city.

BANK CHARTERS IN DANGER.
National Institutions Must Liauidnte
Iniess Congress Acts Promptly.

| Charles C Dawes the Comptroller o.
| the Currency, today said that the failure
| or Congress TO pass a law early in the
coming session authorizing the extension
Of the national bank charters. Will cause
serious embarrassment TO a great many

tionai charters. If the law making the
extension is not passed before July T.

number Of national banks VIII be forced
into liquidation
1t is the wish Of the Comptroller that
Congress give attention to this matter
shortly after it meets in December When
the question was before the Senate last
wIn,er unlocked for opposition developed
AMI action was Indefinitely postponed
Senator Allison remarked that the dues-
tion os renewing the old law would be
sure to cause debate and as he wished
the matter to be thoroughly looked into
he asked that no action be taken until
the next Congress meets
There are LBS national banks whose
charters VIII expire on various dates aft
er July T. 1862. and whose corporate ex-
fstence cannot be extended without fur
ther action by Congress. Consequently
the officials Of those banks, as well as
Senator AIlison's objections.
The original act, passed in 1853, provid-
ed thai the charters OF national banks
should extend for d period Of twenty
years, and on July Z, 1882, an amendment
was passed, authorizing the Comptroller
of the Currency to extend the charters
for another period Of twenty years
Mr. Dawes holds that the amendment
passed in 1882. does not give him authori-
ty to re-extend the charters of those
banks which have had their corporate
existence extended, and that new legis-
lation is necessary to reach them
Discussing the subject, Mr. Dawes
says:
