The State Militia.

An effort is beig made over the state
according to the Inter Mountain of that
city, to reorganize the state militia on
he same substantial footing as it ex-
listed up to the beginning of the Spanish
war, and it is movement that should
be encouraged in Great Falls, and the
other cities of the state.
1t will be remembered that the Mon
tana militia was the first organiza ton
to be mustered into the service of the
nation at the outbreak of the war, and
since that time there has been no or
ganization Of militia in this state. When
the volunteers came back most Of them
had about all the war they wanted-at
least all the war in the Philippines that
they wanted-and were not enthusiastic
about reorganfzing the state military or
ganization. In most of the other states
of the union the state organization has
been reformed and there SENS to be no
good reason why Montana should not
do as well.-Great Falls Tribune.

The house committee on
elections has reported in fav-
or of allowing J. A. Lester
the entire salary of the Office
to which he was elected and
afterward denied a seat. Mil
lar also gets his salary. The
committee explains that this
is allowed Mr.. Lester in ap.
probation Of his not fighting
Mr.. Millar's contest. They
say if he had fought the COLI
test it would have cost the
state much more than the
regular salary which is about
S175 or 5000. Mr.. Lester did
not request this and it was
PROBABLY as great a surprise
to him as it is to his friends.
Of course, it is we'll under
stood that this is done to
square Millar with his people.
The republican members of
the legislature know full we'll
that Mr.. Lester was fairly
elected and that he was
wrongfully deprived of his
seat. They have also heard
strong words of condemna-
ton from the people and they
! think that this paltry sum of
money will set them right
with an outraged public. We
congratulate Mr.. Lester on
his being at least partially
repaid for the abuse heaped
upon him, and are glad to
notice that even his enemies
have indicated him. Their
action proves that he was en-
titled to the Office and that
Millar is usurping authority
to which he has no moral
right. Everyone now admits
that Lester did the wise and
proper thing.

SENATOR MCMILLAN Is the author of

Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts. superintend.
ent of the reform bureau, has filed
protest with Senator Hawley against
the way in which the hearing has been
published. 1.-The senate committee On
military affairs" writes DR.. Crafts,
having ordered report against the
amendment and in favor of continuing
the beer selling In canteens, its chair
man added to his report, which is a
senate document for public circulation,
about all that was said at the hearing
on the canteen side, while the. anti.
canteen side was wholly left out. and
until three weeks later was not even
printed for the committee, owing to
the long delay of Secretary Root and
General Corbin in correcting their
proofs. This added greatly to the unfair
handicap put upon the anti.canteen
side. The pro canteen argument was
printed December Goth. on which date
the whole hearing should also have
been ordered as public document, but
at this writing, January 4, the resolu-
ton to print 1t has not been introduc.
ed. Even the canteen advocates should
protest against such unfair tactics on
| the part of the chairman of the commit.
tee."

Lodge resolution, declaring for the uni

passage insures the passage of the Gill

at meeting Of the w. C. T. U. in
Medicine Lodge on Saturday, Jan. g.
the following action was taken:
We call attention to these facts re.
lating to the destrution of saloon prop
erty by Mrs. Nation.
l. She has violated no moral law.
Biblical warrants for the destruction OF
property whose use curses the people,
are abundant.
II. She has not violated any law of
the state. Our law specifically devotes
such property to destruction.
Ill. She has acted in accordance
with the provisions Of the common law
which gives to every citizen the right to
prevent a crime or abate nuisance by
force of arms if necessary.
Therefore resolved; That it is the
conviction of this union that our brave
sister in thus doing what she feels that
the Lord calls her to do should have
the material support Of all the good
people Of Kansas, so long as the officers
who have sworn to enforce the laws,
fail To do so.-Secretary.
