After saying so much for the effici-

must be said in justice to eastern
Montana, that because of the diff

between the Gallatin and the lower
Yellowstone valley, it is possible for
this portion of the state to gain
very little good from the work of the
Bozeman station. 1t is remote
from Custer, Dawson, Yellowstone
and Rosebud counties, and crops Of
small fruit, corn and grass which
now thrive in these counties are inn

the Gallatin valley. Not only is the
climate of Bozeman radically differ
ent from ours but conditions and
makeup of soil differ essentially
from the land in the Yellowstone val

Senator C. w. Hoffman, Friday, pro.

lied for the purpose of building log
dams and engage in the business OF
driving" logs and collect tolls in
streams where they may conduct the
business. is a measure calculated to
cover the same ground as the previ
Gus bill introduced by another sena.
tor. which was considered to be un.
constitutional by the judiciary com.
mittee and recommended for indef-
mite postponement. The unconstitu.
tional feature of the first bill was the
provision which permitted the John
OBrien company to construct log
dams and collect tolls on logs driven
on certain streams, and the commit.
tee thought a bill granting special
privileges to any particular company
would be Illegal.
Senator Hoffmans bill provides
that any company may engage in this
work, providing that it shall not OBJ
struct navigation in rivers and fixes
the maximum tolls TO be charged at
80 cents a thousand feet. It is fur.
Their provided that logs driven" fo-
private owners may be held for nav

committee on corporations other than

SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH,
Negroes Sign Contract Which De
prives Them of All Personal
Liberty.

A murder in Anderson, South Car
DINA. has developed sensation
which has caused Judge Bennett to
call an extra session of the court to
meet on March at which the grand
jury has been ordered to report:
In charging the grand jury the judge
said:
THE case of the state against Nc
well, charged with murder, has been
tried, and during The progress of the
trial it was developed from the tes-
timony that the deceased, Will Hull,
was killed while in Newell's stock
ade. To the establishment of the
court it was shown that he was not
there as convict. but was there un-
der so-called contract to labor Oh
the farm. 1t seems that he was
charged by Newell with violation of
the labor contract; that Newell
swore out a warrant for his arrest
before Magistrate James J. Gilmer:
that the magistrate issued the war;
rant and placed it in the hands OF
Newell as a deputy, and that Newell
thus deputized, and accompanied by
a sheriff's constable, Dillingham;.
went to the home of William Hull
and arrested him. 1t appears that
they did not take him to Jail. and,
SO far as the testimony shows, that
was the end of the process of the law
Instead of being taken to the
Jail. as he ought to have been under
the warrant of arrest. by some
strange procedure he was taken to
Newells stockade. where Newell
had some eighteen convicts at work
on his farm. So here was poor ne.
gro taken from his wife and children
under the preteXt of arrest. The
machinery of the law was used to
put him in a cOnvicts' stockade and
work him like a convict without DR. }.

sentence OF the court. He had not
been tried. The testimony showed
that he was guarded like a convict.

THE ROBBER TARIFF.

The importations of iron and steel
products into this country are insig
nificant compared with our exports,
but it is mistaken idea that be-
cause of these conditions there is
no further need of a protective tariff.
The most important effect is to keep
these great industries in the United
States. With the bulk of raw mater
ial coming from the north of lake
Superior the most favorable region
for manufacturing is the lake region.
With the protective tariff removed
the northern shores of the lakes
on the Canadian side would possess
advantages in many respects super
ior to those on this side of the line
European manufacturers if the tariff
was removed it is quite possible If
not probable that future iron and
steel plants would be built in Canada
instead of the United States. This
is the important question to be con-
sldered when the removal of the
tariff is preached. Helena Record.
If the principle laid down in the
above is correct, why are not the
principal iron and steel plants as
close to the lake regions as they can
get instead of in Pennsylvania? And
what would be the advantages of the
Canadian plants on the north shore
of the lakes over those of the Amer
lean plants on the south side of the
lake? A matter of a couple of hun
dred miles at most. And this, in the
opinion of the Record is sufficient rea-
son why the protective tariff should
be maintained. It is pretty thin. The
Record should have the candor of its
New York correspondent, who says
on one page of the Record that there
is no further need of a protective
tariff on iron and steel manufactures,
while on the editorial page of the
same issue the Record says it is
mistaken idea that there is no fur
ther need for such a tariff. The Rec
ord should be honest. In such a case

TO PROTECT PROPERTY.

The Helena Independent presents
the strange spectacle of reform
newspaper opposing proposition to
give civil litigants. the means of hav-
ing their causes tried before judge
who is unprejudiced. The Indepen-
dent in a glaring headline editorial
says that house bill 81 Will, if passed,
allow litigants to travel over rs
counties with their troubles. OF
course the statement is not true. The
bill provides that where it is shown
that a judge is prejudiced against
either party to civil suit, the venue
may be changed. That RUE applys
now in criminal cases. and it is not
once in a hundred times that it is in
voked. If it is a good rule in criminal
cases, why not in civil cases? If it
is wrong to allow a prejudiced Judge
to deprive a man of his fife or liberty,
why is it not wrong to allow preju-
diced Judge to deprive a man of his
property? The end sought to be at
tanned by the proposed bill is so emf
nently fair that the Independents OPP
position to it suggests motive not
of the best. During he late campaign
it was openly asserted that certain
interests were seeking control OF the
courts in Silver Bow county. Whetn-
er it was or not, the result in that
county was regarded as victory for
Heinze. 1t was taken as enhancing
the value of his numerous law suits.
Just or unjust, that was the general
opinion. If house bill number 81 is
passed there will De less occasion for
such suspicious in the future. A BIZ
ased or prejudiced Judge will not be
able to use his Official position to
help his friends or punish his enc
mics. The Independent seems oppos-
ed to such condition of affairs. The
Independent and it's friends want a
little the better of it in the courts.
They may have little concern as to
the law and the evidence if they own
the courts, hence their opposition TO
house bill number 81.

COINS WILL HAVE HOLES,
New Three-Cent Pieces Will Have a
Mark to Indicate Their Value.

The United States is about to be-
use particularly in the west and south
west. 1t will be of nickel, about the
size of scent piece, but in the cen
ter of it will be hole about a quar-
ter of an inch in diameter. This will
enable one to distinguish it by feeling
even in the dark.
AS is well known only the gold
coins are made on a basis of value
equal to their denominations. The
cent, for instance, is not worth. as
metal, fraction of that amount. The
nickel is not either. All are stamped
from blanks which the government
buys by contract. Silver coins were
originally of the same value as the
metals. but silver has dropped so
that a cart wheel" dollar is only
worth about SO cents. Gold is worth
cent for cent.

Down at Livingston the wind has
become so strong that it has been
found necessary to brace brick
building to prevent it being blown to
the ground. At first glance this
might seem like reflection upon
the stability of the Livingston build
ing, but anyone who has experienced
the effects of a Livingston wind
knows better than that. There is not
a prettier nor more substantially
built city in Montana than Liv-

likewise, the most powerful in NOR

solidly upon rock, it would have

CHRISTIAN WARFARE IN CHINA.

AS the evidence is slowly winnow-
ed out with respect to the charges
of parbarous practices by the allied
forces Ill China, some facts are be-
coming very Gear. One is that bru-
talltleS occurred. Another is that
they were committed by mobilize
bands OF soldiers who either broke
away from the restraint of their oil
flcers or else were permitted by
their superiors to do as they pleased.
Still another is that many missiOn.
aries, as we'll as other citizens, took
hand in the wholesale looting. And
II we may believe a Japanese au-
thority, the nations ranked with re-
spect to lawlessness as follows: AM
orleans, Japanese, British, Germans
French and Russians.
Yet a consensus of reports from
the correspondents on the ground
does not indicate that there was a
gradual shading in barbarities from
Americans with little to the Rus
slams with a good deal, says the Kan
sas City Journal. On the contrary
the allies are sharply divided into
two classes. The Americans with
the Brush and Japanese formed one,
while the Russians with the Germans
and the French formed the other.
"The Americans says japanese
correspondent, ARE chargeable with
less looting and other atrocities
than any other nationality on the
ground, and the men were in better
obedience to their officers. Japan
had, perhaps, more charged to her
door than the Americans, but not any
more If the difference in the size of
armies and the opportunities for the
occasional bad man is taken into
consideration. EngIands record is
sullied mostly by the conduct of her
native Indian soldiery, though it did
not approach the outright barbarit-
les practiced by the Russians and
some of the other nativities."
A correspondent of Tie Manches-
ter Guardian joins with the Japan
csc correspondent in giving praise
to the Americans for the best be-
havior. 1--WE must admit for the
Americans what we claim for the
British white troops. that they be-
haved like humans, obeyed their Of
ficers and were no more severe than
the occasion demanded. And for
our Indian contingent it is too bad
that we cannot say the same thing.
Yet it needs to be remembered that
these black men came by inherit
ance to their view that spoliation is
proper consequent of war, and
that they only broke bounds when
out of personal contact with their
officers
But what of tn atrocities that were
said to have been committed by the
Russians and the French? Those
who have attempted to describe
them say that it is not story that
can be told in refined language or
softened phrases. In an article in
the Contemporary Review, under the
sarcastic title of "The Chinese Wolf
and the European Lamb" DR.. e. j.
Dillon who went with the troops to
Pekin, says it was all the same
sickening story; Chinese girls and
