JUDGES AT LARGE.

The supreme court judges are reported
to have quietly left Helena between two
days or nights and for the probable pur-
pose of battling successful pursuit separ-
ated and went in different directions. It
is surmised that Judge Piggott boarded

doubtless has many friends who would
conceal him from reporters, telegraph
messengers and Suspicious looking
women. Chief Justice Brantly and AS

On arrival. They were known to have
taken so cent meal together in the back
room of the Vienna restaurant, which is
kept by two Butte men whose discretion
they knew they could depend upon. They
were finally discovered by a Salt Lake
Tribune reporter, but gave him very
little satisfaction as to their mission or
the direction they proposed to take. The
Tribune darkly suggests that they may
have contemplated bath in the lake
Or in the Sulphur springs as they are
said to be natural born aristocrats and
disposed to indulge in both soap and
water on the slightest provocation re-

they are wandering around the Mormon

DAVID B. FOLSOM.

Hon. David Folsom has been elected
president of the Northern Montana Wool
Growers association That is a useful
and honorable office and shows the con-
fldence his fellow citizens have in his
Judgment and public spirit. But what a
pity it is that when he was running for
the governorship last fall the voters of
the state could not support him with the
same elaboration, the same calm judg-
ment, the same abiding faith in his in
tegrity and character as now, for he was
as worthy then as he is now, he was as
independent then as he is now. he was as
patriotic and loyal to the best interests
of the people then as he is now. The
Inter Mountain expresses this regret con-
cerning his defeat not SO much on his
personal account as on account of the
difference it would have made to Mon
tana had the news gone forth that the
state had been redeemed, that it was in
line with the other republican states
stretching along the border across the
continent. It seems inexplicable that
one of the most prosperous states in the
union should not be in political sympathy
with the party whose national policy
has brought about its prosperity. It
looks like the basest of ingratitude for
the greatest wool state in the union to
Endorse the party that stands committed
with insane and suicidal persistence to
the doctrine of free wool. What must
be thought of a state which, depending
or expansion for it's material welfare and
having, with cheers and tears, sent
thousand of it's gallant sons to the front
In defense of the flag. gives political
power and prestige to the very party
which denounced the war and repudiated
its results. In what false attitude did
that result place our people and our
state in the eyes Of the nation and how
bitterly has it been repented!
It is useless at this late day to re-
hearse the causes which operated to
prevent the complete redemption of
Montana. Perhaps republicans should be
satisfied with the splendid and wonder
full gains they made and with the saliva
ton of the state effected later by the
gallant band of republicans elected to
the legislature. It was indeed glorious
work. Yet the inroad upon the enemy's
position, creditable as it was, might have
been greater. Treachery. indifference,
falsehood and personal feeling all helped
to retard the republican advance and
help the enemy, the result being the de-
feat of the grandest old man ever placed
al the head of republican ticket in

HOTEL WIN A BAR Ntfeto,

When Montana's beautiful state house
shall be ready for occupancy and bust
ness, it is hoped that some enterprising
citizen of the capital will open at the
proper time a first class hotel so that
people having business to transact with
the state officials will not be compelled
to return to Helena on the same day.
By getting up early in the morning a
man might make the round trip before
dark by street car service. but in the
winter time the journey would be irk-
some not to say dangerous, as the days
are short and the distance great. Be
sides, many of the state officials and
near the scene of their duties, so that a
hotel would be both convenient and
profitable. The average legislator with
two drinks of Helena whisky aboard and
no compass wouldn't be able to find the
state house once week in time for the
opening prayer and the result would be
a serious loss to the state in the business
OF law making. Should such member
lose his bearings and get lost in the
canyons of the Prickly Pear at the time
Of democratic senatorial election, not
only would the state suffer but the
statesman himself might be out all the
way from $4,000 to $4,000 according to
the size of the party majority on joint
ballot or the populist strength in the
lower house. From every standpoint

have incompetent and unworthy men

ways has been to pick winners for all
the minor positions in order to help the

nothing expected by good citizens but a
scandalous disregard Of the law in
every department. The Standard 8

Philadelphia is no defense Of democratic
rascality elsewhere nor are that paper
glib counter charges backed by any proof
worthy of credence aside from the fran
tic and envious vituperation of the demo-
cratic state platform adopted on Thurs
day. It is fact that in nine cases out
OF ten disagreement in this country is
of democratic origin and We repeat that
it is true in the present cases of Butte
and New York. What sane man
believes that had Hon. F. w. Bacorn
been elected judge of the district
court in this county he would have
figured in any matter of personal
notoriety or that any human being
would have conceived the idea of gain
ing any control over him through the
agency Of a third party, male or female?
The republican mistake was made in
leaving vacancy on the party ticket
to be filled by a democrat of any kind.

DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY.

The Standard of Sunday devoted a
column of space to a protest against the
Inter Mountains statement that the
official scandals in New York and Butte
resulted alike from democratic victory
ot the polls. That esteemed organ of a
discredited political party may protest
until it shall be red, white and blue in
the face. yet it cannot disprove the fact
stated. For years in Montana the issue
Of good government has never received

vention. At times good men have been

are men of remarkable intellect, or they

Or drawing their enormous salaries. The
present strike, however affords strong
proof that brains are confined to no

Shaffer to be as able a man as Morgan.
The end Of it may prove the strike leader
to be far superior to the man of millions.
Morgan calls his associates together in

posal. Shaffer on the other hand, with

American people do not yet understand.

SIGNS OF HARMONY.

The refusal of the Pennsylvania de-
mocracy last week to mention either
the name or the platform of William j.
Bryan and the equally pointed snub Of
the Virginia democracy in emitting all
reference to the principles or virtues of
that eminent tribune of the people, will
serve the useful purpose of allowing him
| to take his mind off the previous dis
graceful misconduct Of the Ohio democ-
racy in smashing his picture after ignor-
ing his platform and scalping Monnett.
There was reason to fear serious conse-
quences to Mr.. Bryan's mental equip
ment had not something happened to
obscure for the moment the awful sig
nificance of the Ohio contretemps; not
that it reflected on Mr.. Bryan in any
way as popular idol. as the Commoner
promptly explained, but because it gave
| reason to apprehend that Ohio would
be deprived of the honor of participating
in the nomination and election Of Mr..
Bryan in 1908 and in 1907. It was this
consideration that worried the great
leader and for that reason his friends
welcome the application Of the demo-
cratic boot to his political anatomy by
the democracy of other states. There
is nothing like change of boots. Be-
sides Mr.. Bryan has every reason to feel
encouraged with evidences Of his grow
ing popularity within the party. It will
be noticed that in neither the Pennsyl-
vania nor Virginia convention did the
delegates rise en- masse and smash
portrait OF their beloved leader into
splinters, as they did In Ohio. This
shows a change In sentiment. It also
shows that the American people who
have been educated by republican lead
ers to put the dollar before the man are
learning the better plan as advocated by
Bryan of putting the man behind the
| dollar. The courtesy which might have
been accorded to Mr.. Bryan's picture had
there been one in either the Pennsylvania
| or Virginia conventions is also an
suspicious sign of Mr. Bryan's strength
with the people and should give the
democratic press, especially the Butte
Miner and Anaconda Standard, great en-
| enlargement as to future harmony in
| the party. Thus like a majestic river
does the Bryan boom sweep on. The
democratic state conventions, one by
one, smash his portraits, turn down his
| friends and ignore his existence, yet he
comes up smiling in the Weekly Com
moner, pointing out their blunders, railing
at their chiefs, appealing to the rank and
file for support, and talking about the
man behind the dollar. He denies exist
ing prosperity. hears not the hum of in
| dustry all over the land, insists that con-
tented and prosperous men are in the
depths of woe, and breaches the doctrine
of human slavery as though his sole OBJ
ject were to stir up civil war; yet he only
| wants to be president.
Surely never was a man so hungry for
an office.
