That was a we'll deserved compliment
paid by the republicans Of the house
in naming Hon. w. A. Hedges Of Fergus
as the minority candidate for speaker.
Mr.. Hedges is a good, capable and
bright young man. who has earned the
confidence and respect Of his colleagues,
and of republicans generally, by his ser
vices to the party in former Legislative
assemblies.
And So too, was the compliment
equally we'll deserved in naming Hon.
Joseph NJ Dixon of Missoula for speaker
pro tenn. There are a number of able,
earnest and eloquent republicans in the
minority of the house as we'll as the
senate. and we shall be greatly sur
prised if they are not heard from during
the session, and that, too, to their credit
as we'll as to the advantage of their
party.

SENATOR DUBOIS.
party.

The news that Fred T. Dubois has re-
cCived the caucus nomination for United
States senator by the fusion forces in the
Idaho legislature will be read with salts
faction by many men here in Montana.
as well as in the country at large Polt-
icaly we have not been able to agree
with Senator Dubois in much that he has
said and done since the campaign of
1896 and particularly have we dissent
ed from his views on the Philippine
question. But Notwithstanding this,
inasmuch as the fusion party is in the
ascendency, we are glad to know that
the honor will fall to our old friend. Du-
bos. The people of the west may rest
certain that, aside from subjects purely
partisan, Senator Dubois will always
be found fighting for their interests, and
that. too, in an effective manner.
Senator Dubois immediate predecessor
Senator Shoup, will be missed in WASH
ington, where his genial, whole souled
ways and manner have made him loved
and respected by all. There is probably
no senator in Washington who has so
many close, warm, personal friends as
Geo. l.. Shoup. And we'll he deserves
them, for he is an honest straightfor-
ward man, absolutely loyal to his party,
| in fact, strong partisan, but withal
so kindly and candid and sincere. that
his bitterest political opponents never
! dream of holding it against him. There
will be some genuine heartfelt pangs in
| Washington when the time for final
adieus comes on the 4th of March next
and Senator Shoup bids his old friends
and colleagues good bye.

THE BEAUTY OF GEORGIAN
WOMEN

Henry Norman in Scrib-
ner's: Are the women of
Georgia as beautiful as we
have always been told? When
they become matrons, which
is at an early age, they are
too stout and broad in the
beam for beauty, but in their
youth, I should judge from
glimpses at windows and
passing faces, there may we'll
be extraordinary loneliness
among them-the loneliness of
perfectly chiseled features
true to the racial type, large,
calm, dark eyes, firm, full
mouth, alabaster skin, indigo
black hair-the precise antith-
esis of the piquancy of irreg-
ular features and nervous
temperament which generally
passes for beauty among our
selves. These are women, you
feel, whose lips would whisper
passionate love, OR, if times
allowed, sing high the song
that sends their men to battle
whose fingers would grasp
the dagger or fall lightly
across the strings of the lutte
with equal aptness. Dagger
and war song, however, are
out of date today.

If Governor Toole should decide to
appoint to the extra supreme court
iudgeshps two such men as Hon.
Thomas G. Bach. E. Platt Carpenter.
John Clayberg or Warren Toole, there
might be less objection to the enact
ment Of the proposed supreme court
bill. The important question is: Are
the present judges overworked: Is
business accommodating beyond their ca
pacity TO handle it without working
extra hours? Have they asked for help:
For the salaries Montana pays its SUI
preme court judges, it is unjust to i'm
pose upon them the burden of unusual
hours, but if they are equal to the task
and suffer no Inconvenience. then the
expense of extra judges would be only
an unnecessary and outrageous assault
upon the taxpayers.

CRUEL CHRiSTOPHE

From "Where Black Rules
White; Haiti Prichard:
There seems to have been
nothing to appeal to in the
emperor" ChristOphe's ma
ture. Bravery, humility, all
alike failed to touch him. He
had no bowels of mercy. He
was one day on the battle
ments with a youth, who,
perhaps. presuming on past
favors, in some manner dis
pleased him. The drop from
those sheer walls is 1000 feet
to the plain below.
You are, of course. about
to die" said Christophe, but
I will be kind to you. You
shall have a choice Of deaths.
Either you throw yourself
over here or the soldiers shall
shoot YOU"
The young man chose to
fling himself into space. But
by a miracle he fell among
some trees or bushes on the
cliff-Side, and SO escaped with
a broken arm. He gathereN
himself up somehow, and pre-
scented himself again before
the emperor.
Your bidding has been
done. sire he said.
Yes, it has" remarked
Christophe, land I am very
much interested to find that
you survive. Oblige me by
trying if you can do it again!"

These comic philosophers

a little of their light philoso-

always write in dialect. Their
favorite dialect is the Irish

much use of the negro. west

Of 80 to 63 the general assembly of the
