A PLEA FOR FAIR PLAY.

shame? Unfortunately their offense is
not treason in law. but it is treason in
effect 1t is an outrage that such ma
liSnant ISLANDERS can be circulated with
IMMUNITY and that the president must
bear all patiently until official oppor-
tunity arrives for him to refute with
dignity the reflections upon his char
acter."
The whole thing is but continue
ton of what the campaign last summer
was run in, an effort to make thu people
OF the United States believe that some
body. somewhere, was planning to steal
away their liberties. The harm it is
doing is not in this country, but in
Cuba itself. because every one of those
statements reaches Cuba within twenty
four hours. and those people, not very
we'll posted in American politics. natur-
ally suspicious, do not know what to
think. but they are taking on a great
mistrust of the sincerity and integrity
of the government of our country. Mr..
Bryan set a good example of this kind
of work last summer. In every speech
he made he talked about the media ted
Imperialism which was in the minds of
the present leaders of the administra-
ton; covertly charged every day that
there was secret alliance with Great
Britain: charged directly that some
great corporations and trusts We're con-
trolling the government; did everything
he could to cause the people in this
country to distrust the purity of the
motives of the government. The truth
is that nothing has been asked of Cuba
except that it should be decent; that
she repay some of the debt which she
owes this country, not in money, not in
lands. not in authority, but iby so fixing
the constitution of her own country that
it will not be perpetual menace of
future wars and complications, not only
with her, but with the nations across
the sea. And it will have to be that
way. or the troops will wait and hold
possession until the sensible men of the
island make it that way If this country
ever goes down in defeat and disgrace
it will be through the poison Of partisan
meanness and dishonesty.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

SOCIALISTS MEET.
WILD SPEECH OF SOCIALIST AGI-
TATOR IN NEW YORK.
INTERPRETS AMERICAN FLAG.
Clamor for Public Ownership of All
the Means of Production and
Existence.
INTERPRETS AMERICAN FLAG.

New York, Feb 2S.-"Mother' Jones,
who led the big parade of coal miners
during the great anthracite strike in
Pennsylvania, made a fiery speech for
socialism last night before 5000 socialists,
who packed the main floor and galleries
of the Grand Central palace.
When Mother Jones arrived all the
seats had been taken and scarcely stand
ing room was left.
Friends and comrades she said. with
dramatic gesture, 'as we march
through the valleys and mountains of
the present day civilization, we catch
glimpses Of weakening Of the people to
socialism. The American flag which
waves over us will soon have a new
meaning. The first colors shall stand
for the public ownership of the means
Of productions the second, that the people
shall own the means of distribution, and
the third for the ownership Of the means
of existing
who owns these things but band Of
robbers in Wall street? The coming
problem for the people is how to own all
they produce.
I'VE now see the sun Of socialism rising
in the blackness of night.

ANOTHER HIGH WATER MARK.

Some time ago Secretary Gage sound
ed a note of warning when he said that
While the present prosperity of the coun-
try would be maintained under the poll
cies that have brought it about. the
ratio of tremendous gains recorded in
the past two years probably would not
be maintained, and urged people to bear
it in mind.
The summit has not yet been reached.
however, as is shown by the splendid
sains in our export trade for January.
The excess of exports over imports for
the opening month of the year amounted
to 1921 100, as compared with SAL 100
DAG for the corresponding month of a
year ago. a difference of s25517.1I4.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
exports for the year will exceed those
Of 1900 by a very handsome margin.
The total Of the exports for January.
amounting to Sl36. 311 1854 has never
been equaled by any corresponding
nonth in the history Of the United
States. The grain exports for last month
reached s24. 0oo. 900, a gain over last year
OF $1,0o0.o00. Gotten figured to the eS-
4 ut Of S36. 600. 600, gain Of about 49, 0O0,-
600 and the agricultural products eS-
ported show a gain Of $1,000. 900 over
those Of January, 1900. There was a
slight decrease in petroleum. but the to-
tai exports Of these non manufactured
articles for seven months Of The fiscal
year, from July to January 81 foOts up

A FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.

| The accounts SO far given of the ter
Golden Gate are far from explaining the
cause of the disaster. A great many
Butte people have gone in through the
gate during fogs, and they agree that
the speed maintained under those coL-
ditons is so low that even a collision
with a hidden rock in stanch ships like
the Rio would not be sufficient to sink
them in fifteen minutes. The prob
abilities are that the ship was started
through the gate at what, under the
circumstances was high rate of speed
Another inexplicable feature is that
while the boat remained on an even keel
for quarter of an hour and the crew
was all placed at quarters, the passen-
gers, with few exceptions, We're not called
up, as the report says Captain Ward
realized at once the gravity of the situa-
tion.
The fact that the captain DELHI
erately went down with his ship is
not, in itself, evidence of his RESPONSE
Doility for what occurred. Such things
have repeatedly taken place when the
captains. SO far from being blameworthy,
have been entitled to the highest praise.
HIarine history shows that there is some
thing in the training of a commander of
a ship that impels him to remain with
his boat to the end.
The loss of life in yesterdays accident
ewas over hundred. Consul Wildman,
who was returning from Hong Kong,
being among those lost. He had done
splendid service for his country during
the trying time in China, and With his
wife and children, was coming home for
a rest. 1t appears that they We're all
drowned in their ,berths. The accident
is of especial interest here because DR.
Dodd, of Butte, is reported among those
3ost, and another Butte man Is also said
to have persisted.

SrArEPR.SS COMMENT
THE FUSION PARTY.

Great Falls Leader: At present the
fusion party in the state of Montana is
dead. 1t is deader than a door nail. 1t
has been killed by the efforts of it's
friends and it has no hope whatever for
the future. It's prestige is gone and the
fractional fight among its members has
become such that man can forsee the
result. The fusion party is dead 1t
may perhaps exist in few years more
under the designation of the democratic
party" but the combination of fusionist--
labor men and democrats, is thing of
the past. 1t served it's purpose, did this
fusion. as an adjunct and necessity to
the democratic party, but we doubt if
ever again will the democrats be able to
pull the wool over the eyes of the men,
bers of the other parties.

sponses of the deep-toned thunder tell
OF the awful struggles that are waged
about its lofty peak. Yet through storm
and tempest it remains unmoved. Its
cold, gray surface condenses the moist

it down in raindrCps to refresh and fruc-

remains the same through all its vary

The same God that made the noun

SOCIETY OF CINCINNATI.
Patriotic Order Has a Big Spread in
New York.

New York, Feb. 22.-The annual dinner
of the New York State Society of Gin
cinnati was held last night at Sherry's.
About forty members and guests We're
present. The responses to the toasts
We're as follows:
1.-The State of New York." Hugh Hast
ings; "The Army" Gen. Miles; 1.-THE
Navy" Admiral Barker; 1.-The Society of
Sons of the Revolution" Talbot Oliph-
ant; 1.-The st. Nicholas Society" r. de
Eister Foster; "Our Guests" Col. w. G.
Sanger
General Miles spoke of the wide extern
sion through time of the influence of
"that great statesman, patriot, soldier,
philosopher, George Washington" and
of the fruits of his work in the develop
ment of mighty republic, enjoying
greater liberty and prosperity than any
other people on the face of the EARTH and
he quoted Lincoln's tribute to Wash
ington as the estimate of the greatest
American by the second greatest Ameri-
can whom the nation has produced.
The army Gen. Miles said, received it's
traditions from it's first commander In
chief George Washington, who had inn
pressed upon it's officers and men the high
sense of honor that has characterized it
ever SINCE and now marks it's service in
two continents.
Gen. Miles was enthusiastically receiv-
ed when he rose to speak and was toast
ed when he had finished.
Rear Admiral Barker said in part:
1--WE look to you who are banded to-
gether in those patriotic societies to keep
the fires of patriotism burning. We look
to you to offset the deadly influence OF
pessmism. Pessimism never won bat
tie: pessimism never made hero; pessi-
mism is death. We hope that political
influence. luxury of selfseeking will new
err mar the efficiency of the navy. The
navy can never be menace but is
wall of defense to the nation. 1t makes
my blood boil to hear our sailors and
soldiers villified as hired men employed
to crush the liberties of worthy people.
1.-THE constitution may or may not fol-
low the fiag-that the supreme court Will
determine in it's own wisdom and in its
own time. but wherever the flag goes to
remain there you will have just laws and
true freedom"

The San Francisco Chronicle, in
brief summary of the effect of mining.
calls attention to the revolution that in
dustry brings about in land values, aside
from the direct returns. and shows how
profitable have been the big land pur-
chases made by the United States. The
Chronicle article closes with the follow
ing paragraph in which reference is
made to Senator Clarks United Verde
mine:
When $4,000. 900 was given to Mexico
for California and 10000, 900 for South
ern Arizona and New Mexico it was ar
gued earnestly that the money might as

liar argument was used against the Alas
ka purchase for S7000,O00 But what
price could be fixed today as a fair valu-
alton of the land in these four sections
of the continent because of the minerals
contained in them? Last year more vir-
gin gold came out of Alaska than the
entire cost Of the territory to the gov
eminent in the trade with Russia. and
one copper mine in Arizona is believed to
be paying annual dividends TO its own
e. equal to the indemnity paid to Next
60 for the territory in which it lies.

IF there still fingered in the mind Of
any democrat hope that the republican
ed, last nights banquet at the Auditor
ium must have disoelled that illusion.
That gathering, with others that have
preceded it. presages victories all along
the line, at the coming elections. The
activity of the younger members Of the
party all over the state is an especially
hopeful sign. and it is not too much to
say that the party is stronger in Mon
