nation is both able an DWELLING to fight
for its rights when peaceful measures
fail. That war resulted in the opening
of new markets in the Orient for the
surplus products Of American labor AMI
in the acquisition of islands not only
valuable in themselves on account Of
their wondrous riches. but of inestima-
BILE Importance as naval stations in case
of national danger.
Above and beyond those consdera-
tons, however, the war indicated
American honor, erected a nation of
freemen on Cuban soil, and liberated
from Spanish tyranny and outrage mill
lions of human beings in the Philippines
without injury to any interest of this
country. That the war was prolonged
in the Philippines and valuable lives lost
is lamentably true, but as democratic
sympathizers of Aguinaldo in this coun-
try were largely responsible for its con-
tinuation, as every returning volunteer
will testify, and as the gallant Lawton
himself pointed out in the last letter he
to see where any democratic organ has
any right to complain either of the be-
ginning or the prolongation of HOSTILE
ties. Referring to the time when this
government made demands on Spain,
the Standard says:
Had there been a man at the head of
executive affairs unswayed by popular
clamor and passing passion and unde-
tered by the ignoble fear of loss of par
tisan advantage, there would have been
no needless and wasteful war. When the
crisis came it found Mckinley terrorized
and utterly unable to stem the fierce
tide that was making for war. When
the Spanish regent, in a pathetic mes
sage, conceded nearly every point in con-
troversy; when the pope threw his far
reaching influence for honorable peaca
it was McKinleys great opportunity.
He could have turned that tide. but III
stead he preferred to float like chip
on the flood.
That kind Of stuff contrary to every
fact of history, needs no refutation eX-
may instantly supply. The Stand ard
adds to the above extract the New York
Evening Posts comment on this
shameful chapter of the president S
cowardice,' and so concludes it's attack
on the character of the nations chief
magistrate and military commander-in-
chief. 1t is an article replete with evil
dences of blind and malignant PARTISAN
ship, and showing that there is no limit
to democratic duplicity, misrepresenta-
ton and injustice when political advan-
tage is the object in view.

GOOD SHOWING FOR BUTTE
The Past Years Business Of the Rio
Grande Western Is Something
Remarkable.

c. A. Davidson, Butte agent of the Rio
Grande Western, is in receipt of very
flattering letter of commentator from
George w. Heintz, general ticket and
passenger agent of the road, in regard to
the business handled through the Butte
office for the fiscal year ending June 30.
The letter summarizes the amount of
business done by the roal in the year.
which shows some rather remarkab BILE
figures.
The total length of the road. includ-
ing all it's branches, side tracks and all
is considerably less than thousand
miles. But the passenger casn'ngs were

gain of As per cent ove'' the earnings of

numbers 100000. In iSaa-1900, they were

This year the earnings are the LARGEST
per mile of any road west Of the Mis-
souri, river, being over $1,000 per mile.
That is enough to stump i. as great
road. despite the fa.; that it measures
it's length in yards wne.'e some OF the
other lines count in miles,.

Miners as Farmers.

In another column is a table giving
the number of acres of public land in
each county Of this district. The show
ing is an interesting one and should at
tract the attention of homeseekers both
here and elsewhere. Within the last few
years a good many miners, having small
bank deposits and being aware of the
have bought or taken up farming land
and become tillers of the soil with graft
flying results. There ought to be more
cases of that kind than there are.
When a miner reaches the age of so or
Whereabouts he naturally looks for easier
and safer work than under ground pick
ing and blasting. If he has no other
trade, he can always find an opening for
his energy on a good piece of land and
in a few years may become prosperous
and independent. Information on the
subject of available public land, there
fore, should be of personal interest to

zens of the state. They find in every
mining district a market for all their
surplus, and have the satisfaction of
knowing that every year their property
increases in value. If they have some
stock on their ranches all the better.
In some parts of the state men work on
work in the mines during the winter.

in state like Montana has something
which promises a good living in old age.

Irrigation to the Front.

One of the issues which congress will
find very much alive at the next session
Is irrigation. The efforts of eastern poll
tlcians to shelve it Outing the late
session served only to bring the attention
OF the country more forcibly to the alb
solute need Of speedy action. In the in
term the National Irrigation association
Is not being idle. During the spring and
summer conventions have been held at
various places in the west, and local as
sociations have been organized in nearly
every state and territory in the arid re-
gion. At Cheyenne. Wyo., convention
has just been in session in which num-
beI OF states were represented and at
which bill was drafted by western
congressman covering all the points at
issue. The congressional delegations
nom the western states will hold a
meeting at Washington Immediately be-
fore the opening of congress and out

time there has been an organized system
of procedure by the destern delegates.

With people in the east dying from

their winter clothes, and finding fires in

agreeable, the weather isn't striking a

mountain region generally, has the best
of it. There is no trouble here about
keeping comfortable, and even With a
temperature approaching that under
which the entire country from the
Rockies to the Atlantic has been burning,
there would be no deaths from the heat,

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
Professional Pride.

Montana not only has as good news
papers, daily and weekly as any state
IN the union but as good newspaper men.
1t has more all around, capable men.
On large papers in the east where a man
has department he is all right. Take
him out Of that ana he is helpless. He
is like poor workman in a Lynn, Mas
sachusetts. shoe factory, whose work
had been confined to mailing on heels. He
got out of job, went on the tramp and
struck village where a shoemaker was
wanted and applied for the job which he
could not hold because he could do moth
ing but heel. Many. bright young news

sof no western newspaper man who has

know many who have succeeded. There

The Races

The second week of the Butte racing
ance, better speed contests and more
general satisfaction. A great deal Of
what is technically known as wise
money has been distributed among those
most in need Of it, the result being
that a good many people have new
clothes and bright smiles for the first
time for many moons. The announce
ment that ladies will be admitted free
to the grand stand insures bright color
to the racing picture and stimulates
general interest in the game. The fact
that the officers of the association are
solid business men of the town, who
are pledged to have square racing as far
as they can control it, gives local i'm
portance to the meeting. They have ex-
pended much money in improvements at
the track, and the public appreciation
is proved by the character of the
patrons. Business men generally report
an increase in trade as result Of en-
livening the circulation of money, for
some men will put up on a horse race
who would never risk dollar in any
other venture.
AS the season progresses the attend
ance will improve, and by the end OF
the meeting the good people of Butte
who can afford to risk money will be
ready for something new in the line OF
sport. At present, however, the racing

IT WAS THE SAME OLD. GAME
A CRATER Who Tried to Work Chief
Reynolds for an Easy Game
G0t T.aff

Chief of Police Reynolds was inter-
viewed this morning by short, stout
man with iron grey hair and blight
eye, who claimed to be OH the inside
workings of a little game" now being
conducted in Butte.
Said the self appointed custodian of
the publics wN'are: "l'h;s game is bet
ter than sure thing or 'cinch' why,
chief. it's lead pipe ,wist.:' The out
side sucker has no more show than
snow ball in the lower regis ns in mid
summer. Oh! yes, ;n,lcel, you shall
know where this little work is going on
Mr.. Reynolds. I will cooperate with
you in bringing these sooundrels, these
robbers to justice. No;h.nS 7 despise
more than CRATER and l propose to
see that the public is projected against
such fellows. Why, chief. Know for a
positive fact that over $3.50 was de-
liberately taken from an innocent player
last night and there is 4 scheme on foot
to land one of the biggei It men in Butte,
and that tonight"
The short. stout MAJ continued his
TRADE against the evil men Of Butte who
prey upon the ignorant and innocent.
Chief Reynolds squared Up to the stu
alton at once, and loked dangerous for
few seconds. Anxiety Appeared IN every
line on that official Loun.enance, and
the chief could hardly wait for his in
formant to give the location of tho game
and the names of the principals who
conducted it. 1t was useless to attempt
to stop the draw out statement Of the
| short. stout man and for fully forty
minutes he continued. When he had
| finished it was very evident that he had
! said nothing which would Or could be
| used as a clew. Chief Reynolds patience
was about exhausted and he requested
that the short, stout man be more ex-
plicit. All to no purpose, however.
Nothing could be drawn from the chiefs
visitor worth having.
After few moments in apparent deep
meditation the man looked squarely into
Chief Reynolds eye and said: "Of
course, I'll tip this game off to you at
the right time but I'm not rich. Well,
you know, old man, I need the money.
You fix that and I'll TX the other" Chief
Reynolds Strengthened up but it was
useless for him to act. The short, stout
| man understood that awful lolx which
came into the eye of the lief and hard
| ly had the city official made Il move un-
| til the short. stout man with tine iron
grey hair strucs the curbing and was
out upon tn curb. Ills hair is shade
lighter this afternoon. He knew the air
in the chiefs Office was getting thick
and it wasn't his intention to breath
any of it or take ON any trouble other
wise.
