MORE CAUSE FOR REJOICING.

Every republican in Montana who
reads the presidents message today or
tomorrow will have cause to rejoice in
his own republicansm. 1t is a delight to
every republican to realize his affiliatio
with party that has accomplished rs
much for the advancement of prosper
Gus civilization as the republican party
has accomplished. 1t must be an I'M
alleged joy to reflect upon the character
and progress of a nation that9b SITS
such achievements and such leadership
as the republican party claims. No
patriot Of any political party cah read
the presidents message without a thrill
OF pride as he contemplates the wonder
full showing it makes and the brilliant,
fearless, magnetic reformer and patriot
who compiled and wrote every PARA
graph 1T contains. The republican party
has saved the nation from the industrial
paralysis which was threatened as a
result OF democratic incornpe tenee. 1t
has fought democracy for every foot Of
progress the county has made since 1895
From the time when Cleveland borrowed
%-o-,OVo,uVV ana PROFESSOR Wilson put
through congress his monstrous iniuuity
which took away the work and wages
from 100000 American citizens and
converted 100000 into wandering mendi-
cants; from the time when a thousand
banks and an hundred railroads went
INTO the hands of receivers, the people
OF this country have studied the bitter
lesson of democratic fraud and failure.
On the first chance they restored the re-.
publican party to power. They have
Kept it in power ever since. They viii
keep it in power as long as it shall be
true to itself and to the flag.
Republicans have right to rejoice.
Ihey advocate principles which are the
basis of national prosperity and which
neither the orators nor organs Of de-
mocracy are able successfully to attack,
They are principles which have rescued
the nation from the democratic Is1ou gin
of despond and enabled it to take
front rank in the march of progress
Republican policies and republican
diplomacy have brought to the nation
peace and plenty at home, honor and in
fiuence abroad. That is why republicans
are jubilant.

SENATOR ClAQk,S RAILROAD FIGHT.

Circumstances may yet compel Sem
ator w. A. Clark to become prominent
figure in the railroad world and contest
with railroad kings in the East for the
right to do business in the West. No
sooner had his business judgment con-
WINGED him that a cutoff line between
Salt Lake and Los Angeles would cap
ture the business Of Southern California
than the magnates of the East, who had
ignored or overlooked the opening for
20 years, began to combine against him.
He originally desired to build only be-
tween the two points named, and posi-
bly, northward from Salt Lake to Butte,
to connect with the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, but now that the war
has opened, he may be compelled ito enter
the Colorado field in self-defense. He
has the money and the nerve, and if
there be truth in the report that Colonel
Dodge has Joined hands with him there
will be sparks flying before long, a
Chicago dispatch of the 30th ult. says:

Whatever may be the causes operating
to depress Amalgamated stock, it is Ger.
tain that none but the enemies of Butte's
business and labor interests derive any
pleasure from the decline. 1t is equally
certain that both the company and its
employees are anxious to continue work
as neither can make money by closing
down or curtailing the supply. Enlbar-
rassment and delay from whatever
cause injure the company and it's en-
ployes no less than they do every real
estate holder and every business and
professional man in Butte

the SENATOR'S IN HARMONY.

In the upper house at WASHINGTON yes-
terday Senators Clark and Gibson walked
arm in arm to the presiding officers seat
to be sworn in. Their seats in the cham
Der are side by side, which is true of the
delegation of no other state.
The harmony of the Montana senators
as to their personal relations will, it is
hoped, be continued in their official
work. In all matters affecting the in
terests Of Montana it is the hope of
the Inter Mountain that the two sena-
tors will work in that spirit of amity
which alone assures success. Whether
they propose to act with their party in
opposition to protection, reciprocity and
expansion will appear later, but on every
non-political issue affecting the interests
of their constituents they are likely to
cooperate to accomplish the best results
for the people. On the question of irri-
cation and all other rights and needs Of
the people of the west the Inter Noun
tain confidently expects them to labor
with single purpose in view and with
out faint Of personal or partisan bit
terness. Their interests are bound up
with those of the people, and the re-
publicans of Montana though opposed
to them earnestly and honestly on politi-
cal principle, bespeak for them the con-
fidence of all good citizens, and unite in
the wish that their terms of senatorial
service may be both pleasant and sue

County Attorney Peter Breen is maxi
ing a most creditafble record in his Cruz
SADIE against public gambling with cards.
Well meaning men who said the vice
could not be suppressed have had recent
occasion to change their minds. How
ever, Mr.. Breen has had to make the
fight alone, which is very much to the
discredit Of the city administration. The
reform tendencies of the city administra-
ton are not much in evidence these
DAYS.

When the large body of agricultural
land now held under lease is offered next
year it is practically certain that it will
be all sold at good prices. The estimate
of Register Long that sale next year

to see the land go into the hands of peo-
pie who will make their homes on them.

There is disposition to view with
alarm any prospect of an extra session
of the legislature. Neither the ST. Louis
exposition fund nor the threatened rail-
way combine have been regarded as
causes great enough to justify another
session of the Montana lawmakers. The
state is not eager for another season Of
legislating, and there appears to be a
general disposition to frown upon extra
sessions.

The gist of the presidents message on
the subject Of trusts Is that their busi-
ness affairs should be made public by a
system of quarterly or semi-annual or
annual reports. He advises discrimi-
mating legislation to regulate trusts so
that those which do good NAV be pros
tected from injustice and robbery and
those which do evil may be compelled
to mend their ways. p.

The remarkable growth Of the postal
! service is commented upon. and for the
first time in his extended review of ma
tional affairs the president uses figures
to illustrate the changes that have taken
place with the growth of department
of government. He makes cheerful note
of the fact that in 1897 the annual deficit
of the postal department was $11, 4f1,,7?
ana this has been reduced to 49, 1928, ~
in 1901. Revision Of the rules of the de
partment with respect to second-claks
mail matter is suggested, and free rurh
mail delivery is earnestly recommended.
A comprehensive review of the troubles
with China and their settlement is given,
and the message mentions tho Pan
American congress and recotilitenas
suitable restitution in the case of he
Well and La Abra awards against
Mexico.
In conclusion, the president q, rels,ts
again to the nations loss in the death of
President Mckinley. He acknowledges
expressions of grief and regard from,
rulers of other countries, and the deaths
Of Queen Victoria and of the Empress
Dowager Frederick of Germany are men,
toned with respect. A hearty expression
OF gratitude to the Almighty for the
peace and good will with which the ma
ton has been signally blessed brings the
message to an end.

No intelligent citizen who desires a
clear comprehension of the domestic ana
foreign policy Of this government should
fail to read the presidents message en-
tire today. 1t is a most accurate meas
ure Of the presidents character. and
ability. 1t is up to expectations and is
a document that will make all republ.-
cans and many democrats thrill with
pride.

The up-to-date practices Of officers of
the law in Oklahoma territory are adj
mirable. Saturday a sheriff chained a
railway train to the track and compelled
the payment of an employees salary
before the cars We're allowed to move.
In a state where a sheriff is able to
handle train with only a log-chain to
prevent it's escape, the governor with all
the machinery of the courts at his back
should find it an easy matter to put
railway combine out of business.

Let every workingman in Montana read
what the president says in his message
upon the subject of honest labor and

verely condemns.

The president strikes a telling blow
for the West on the subject of irrigation.
Congress must do something for the arid

do nothing for the rivers and harbors of

gatten in Washington while the arid
lands remain arid.
