The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-08-22

There will be no regret among the
business men over the wind up of the
races 1t has been a good meeting, re-
fecting credit on the race track officials
and has given the public plenty Of legit.-
mate sport. But enough is as good as a
feast. The people are getting tired of
the game. A good deal Of money has
been distributed, but no one seems to
have got much of it. The horsemen are
hard up, the players are losers. the
books plead poverty, and the association
claims little better than a stand-on.
Still it has been season of good sport.
so there is nothing to regret. A 3O-day
meeting. however, is long enough.

MORE CAPITAL FOR BUTTE.

The people of Butte want more min
ing companies to come here in order -
diversity business. Our labor organiza-
tions want more labor at good wages
provided for the men who toll, in Order
that they may feel certain of steady EN-.
ployment, strengthen their fraternal ties
and better comply with their benevolent
and protective obligations. The business
men want more customers and the GUS
toners want more business houses. Many
of our citizens have property holdings to
dispose of, and desire them to keep pace
in value with the city's growth. Many
more have mining claims and interests
developed and undeveloped, and natu-
rally desire those claims to be converti-
BILE readily into money whenever they
wish to sell them. These various classes
OF citizens, instead Of antagonizing ana
opposing the men of the east who have
bought mines here, and those who are
willing to buy others under proper con-
ditions, realize the Importance OF honest
government in Montana. justice in the
courts and the protection of property
rights. It is a brainless demagogue, in
deed, who, having mines to sell, ira
duces the men whom he expects to buy
and develop them. 1t is foolish COM
munity which. depending on outside cap
ital for increase and prosperity AMI
on large concerns for the maintenance
of the price Of it's sole product, still
takes up arms against such capital and
such concerns after they have created
every condition of prosperity and given
added value to every house and lot,
every mining claim, every business in
terest, and are willing, under the just
and equal administration of the law, 70
bring in more money. enlarge the pay
rolls, encourage immigration, make a
demand for every mans labor at his
own wages and a market for every state
product at the producers figures. Is it
strange, therefore, that the people of
Butte are jealous of the good name of
the town, that of late they have begun
to think along broad lines and to realize
the Importance of law and order ana
justice here. If they would have more
mines opened and more money invested?
Is it strange that the men who would
drive from the state the very capital
we have always invited and encouraged.
by succession of criminal assaults on
the statutes-is it strange they show
signs Of weakening, now that the COM
mon people have opened their eyes to the
conditions affecting their own welfare?

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE

Opelika News: The organic law of the State should. above all things, be free of the taint of partisanship. On this es- seatially important matter each individual citizen should be left free to express his convictions. The committee should keep hands off It has no party authority to take radical and unprecedented action on this matter. It is beyond the province and power of committee to dictate to the people how they shall determine such an important public matter.
 Huntsville Mercury: The Birmingham Age-Herald comes out strongly in favor of the new constitution and as strongly opposes its adoption being made a party measure by the executive committee. The Age-Herald desires that the Populists and Republicans should be given an op- portunity to vote for the document, which they will not do If 1t Is made a party measure.
 Mobile Item We believe that if the new constitution is intended to be a political instrument in any sense it should not re- ceive the approval of the people, and liidt any eilorl lo hiahe ilS duopeioh d political issue should be condemned by defeat. This country does not need party constitutional law. we need laws under which every American citizen of whatso- ever creed shall be guaranteed equal rights and privileges and any effort to perpetrate the power of any political party, or to give 1t any special privileges by fundamental law, Is contrary to American ethics, and should be defeated"
