THE CHRISTMAS BEE
A Creditable Number.
From the Anaconda Standard:

from the Anaconda Standard:
The valley of the Flathead, the
richness of its soil, it's agricultural
resources and possibilities, it's miner
al wealth, its scenic grandeurs, it's
picturesque Indians, it's enterprising
inhabitants and their many enter
prises, all these are described in
graphic manner, with many gem
of picture by way of illustration in
the Christmas edition of the Kalispell
Bee. It's a great country is Mon
tana's great northwest. and the Bee
covers it to perfection. Compare
atively a new conner in Journalism.
the Bee knows it's field, and is mas
ter of it. The Bee is an exponent
of that journalism whose chief aim
is to get the news and present it in
artistic shape. 1t would be super
fluous to say that it's Christmas edi.
ton is a credit to it's editors and
publishers, it's city and it's county:
in dollars and cents it would be al.
most impossible to eXaggerate what
such an issue is worth to the morvei,
ously rich Flathead district, by at.
tracing to it the attention of both
home searchers and investment
seekers.

MORE TROUBLE FOR Mr.. CLARK.
Montana's Moneyed Aspirant Is NOT
Vet in the Senate.

~ ~ N'~ oS'c'tS'
1t is plain that Mr.. Clark, of Mon
tana, is not to be allowed to get into
the United States senate without
more trouble than he had expected 1.
The alert and untiring senator from
New Hampshire has in effect given
notice that any new application will
be considered in the light of the facts
brought out in the inquiry into the
first election
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Clark when it became certain that he
would not be admitted. because of
the methods he had adopted to Sc
cure his seat, resigned from the sen
ate and that he then held that his
action took the whole matter entire
~ out of the jurisdiction of the sen.
ate. Mr.. Chandler thinks otherwise.
1t is greatly to be hoped that Mr.
Chandler is correct as to the law
He is undoubtedly is as to the need
of protecting the senate from Mr.
Clark's participation in its counsels.
The question III which the people of
the country are interested is not
whether Mr.. Clark's first election
was not Initiated by his practices, but
whether he was not personally dis
qualified by those practices for asso-
citation with the members of the SEN
ate, and for taking any part in the
exercise of the high powers with
which they are intrusted. 1t is a
matter OF far less consequence to the
nation whether the ordinary con-
ditions imposed on the election of a
senator have been observed than it
is that such men shall be kept out
of that body. This is especially the
case when the badness of the men
takes the form of corrupting the eX-
preston of the popular will in the
manner shown in the case of Mr.
Clark
The people of Montana are, of
course. deeply dscredted by the fact
that such man is able. after the
exposure of last session, to come
again to the door of the senate with
| Il demand for entrance and creden-
| tials to back the demand. But we
are not wasting any sympathy on the
people of Montana. They cannot
deny that they are negatively at least
responsible for their plight They
cannot complain if Mr.. Clark is ac-
| cepted as representing the actual
standard of political decency in their
community. But the people of the
whole country have II right to in
sist that they shall not be forced to
| accept him as a member of the SEN
ate if it can be helped. New York

The Kalispell Bee came out last

"SLANDERlNG" GEIGER.

The Bee had a caller yesterday in
the person of Mr.. J. H. Geiger, of
Libby. Mr.. Geiger is of the opinion
that the Bee has slandered him by
calling him "Transom." and wants it
stopped. He threatened trouble
in case it is not stopped, but when
urged to name the character of the
trouble" he declined, except to say
tnat he would not bother the courts
with it. So the Bee must figure on
some kind of violence at the hands
of Geiger. The worthy senator as
serted that nothing whatever had
been said by him about a transom in
his testimony at Washington, and
was somewhat nonplussed when the
following from the official report was
shown him:
Mr. Campbell Have you any idea
how anyone got in there (Geiger's

used it as kind of office. There
was nothing in there. | do not re-
member whether it was locked.
That was Geiger's statement under
oath. He said yesterday that the
Bee mad invented the sobriquet
"Transom" out of whole cloth, and
that 1t was hurting him, and if it
were not stopped he would cause
trouble Whether he intends to
blow up the Office or assassinate the
editor he did not deign to say. He
has been threatening all sorts of
things against the Bee for several
AAAoAAS''' PVHt, ttNNcl uIhso " SlOllco
which have reached this office. But
Geiger and all other individuals oc-
cupying public positions may as well
understand soon as late that no
threats of violence will influence the
course of this newspaper in it's COM
ment on public men and measures.
Anything the Bee has said about
Geiger has been based upon his own
testimony, and if Geiger has been
slandered by being called "Transom, )"
or by anything else in this newspa-
per, he has his redress in the courts,
and the Bee will be glad to meet
him there. The same thing applies
to others. The Bee proposes to
speak its mind fearlessly and honest
| ly, and if on account of so doing
Geiger or anyone else feels disposed
to make 'troublc,' he is invited to
proceed.

happy returns of the day.
SHAKE HANDS WITH 1901,

1t will hardly do to overlook the
fact that today the world enters upon
new century, That at least is
the official declaration of William
Mckinley. who, under 'iisine provi-
dence, is the highest authority ca
everything pertaining to time and
eternity. 1t will no: do to overlook
the fact, because the opportunity to
give the matter attention will not
occur again for some time-a hun
dred years-and after that period
few of those who comment upon the
situation at this time, will be in a
position to make comment or take
notice. But there is no telling.
Should the progress of the coming
century keep pace with that of the
one just ended, the elixir of eternal
youth may be discovered and applied
before the present generation shut
fles off this mortal coil. But it will
hardly do to take chances, even
though the wonderful achievements
of the nineteenth century are capped
by the declaration from a reliable
source that communication with the
people Of the planet Mars is per.
fectly feasible proposition and bids
fair to soon be an accomplished fact.
Many things which to the young man of
one hundred years ago seemed to be
utterly beyond the possibility of hu.
man attainment and were even un.
thought of except in connection with
things supernatural, are today mat
ters of ordinary utility and enjoy
ment. Civilized humanity has passed
beyond the doubling stage in the

The world of today is prepared for
almost anything from flying machines
to new stomachs, livers, lungs, hearts

These things are in the dim flu

1t is encouraging to note that
strenuous efforts are at last being
made to cope with the smallpox sit
uation in this city. So far there
have been but four cases and these
have been placed in the pest house.
A detention hospital has been erect
ed and suspected cases will be con-
fined there. A good idea would be
the appointment OF health officer,
whose duty it would be to make the
rounds of the places where the dis
ease might be expected to develop
and see to the prompt isolation of
suspected cases. GUARANTEEING ho-
