The usually precise and correct

The usually precise and correct
Rosebud County News is in error when
it states that a Helena newspaper is
entitled to the credit of being the first
state paper publishing the Associated
Press news to enter that part Of Mon
tana on the same day j. is published.
The Gazette has been reaching For
syth, Miles City and the other towns
and cities Of the extreme eastern part
of Montana on the day Of publication
ever since it entered the field as a
daily. What is more, it publishes a
complete report as furnished by the
Associated Press and does not work
the ''grape vine'' line to pad it's tele-
graphic columns, or date old matter
two or three days ahead. The Gazette
reaches every town in eastern Mon
tana on the day of publication and
may always be relied upon to have a
full and reliable Geographic news SER
vice, printed on the day of it's receipt
and given to the public while it is
still news and not ancient history.

tasks allotted honestly and we'll. A
spirit Of communal interest is estab-
lished and instead of grudgingly rem
dering toll in return for the pay re-
ceived, the men feel that as they
strive to promote the interests of the
employer so do they in a correspond
ing degree promote and further their
own. This is something, apparently,
that the operators Of the anthracite
mines of Pennsylvania have not yet
learned, but they will learn it in time,
as President Mitchell truthfully says,
and until that time comes the miners
will gain more by appeals to judg-
ment and good business sense than by
all the strikes they might undertake.
Often victories are won by diplomacy
that could not be achieved by force.
This MI. Mitchell shows he under
stands and intends to wage his fight
along those lines.

KELLY FOR CITY TREASURER
Mann Re-elected-Cothron, White,
Thorsen and Stoddard the
New Aldermen.

Another city election has come and
gone, but it differed some this year
from that held in previous years in
that it occurred on the first day of
April, which truly served as an April
Fools day for some of the nominees.
1t was one of the hottest campaigns
ever contested in the city, which be-.
gan from the time that tickets were
placed in the field, some ten days ago.
The chief interest centered around the
nominees for mayor, treasurer and
police judge, and these candidates, to-
gether with their friends were very
active. They saw to it that there was
a large registration, and then they
made it a point to see that every ror-
son registered was gotten to the polls
to vote. The day was quiet and a per-
feet one for an election. Considerable
money changed hands on the outcome,
some bets being as high as 800. The
heaviest vote was polled in the after
noon, less than $50 persons having
voted up to noon.
The vote was as follows:

lppines must be annoying to those
who have been holding him up as the
Washington Of his country. On the
other hand it only supports the con-
tention of those who have been on the
side of the administration since the
trouble in the islands began and
shows him up as he really is, a man
prompted by personal ambition and
desire for power and without one of
the noble motives which actuated the
patriot with whom the antis have
been comparing him.

AGAIN STATED BY DEWEY.

1t is now again in order for the
Atkinsonians to declare Admiral
Dewey is unworthy of credence.
When informed of the capture of
Aguinaldo the admiral took occasion
to repeat his assertion that at nc time
were the Filipinos considered by him
as the allies of America or treated as
such. In speaking of Aguinaldo the
admiral said: 81 think it was simply
a case of success turning a mans
head in the case of Aguinaldo. / don't
believe at first he had any idea of at
tempting to set up a republic. AS to
the matter of our relations with the
Fi1ipinos, the history has never yet
been written. l have all the letters
and documents pertaining to it and 1
expect some day to write the history
of the affair. When all the documents
are published it will be perfectly clear
that no obligation rested upon the
American forces to treat the Filipinos
as allies
This is certainly plain language and
should for all time set at rest the
absurd claims that the ants have
been making concerning "broken
faith and misrepresentation" 1t
would be quite natural for Aguinaldo
to attempt to show the opposite to
be the fact, but the admiral has the
documents and the letters to prove
his assertions and for the sake of
truth and history it is to be hoped that
he will not long delay his Intention
to make them public.

A country that a continue to pros
per and a government that can con-
tinue to exercise it's functions, wage
triumphantly a foreign war, overcome
rebellion and successfully administer
the affairs of state, with an army of
enemies at home plotting against it,
as have this nation and government
during the past two years, should not
find it difficult to take care of a rebel
prisoner on an island thousands Of
miles away. All these the United
States and the administration have
been doing and the question Of the
final disposition of Aguinaldo should
not stagger them now.

Pettigrew has been heard from.
He does not see wherein much has
been gained by the capture of Agui-
naldo, and like his fellow Tagal of
Minnesota is sure that the Filipinos
will not stop fighting. He is also
much worried over the future Of the
prisoner and hopes that the govern
ment may not deal too harshly with
him. Another source of trouble to
the gentleman Of the intellectual
teeth" seems to be as to what the
government should do with his chief,
now that he occupies the position of
prisoner, instead of, as he hoped
would prove the case-be the dictator

tween Aggie and the representatives
of the president would occur. Petit

At the last moment, when it seemed
that the deadlock in the Nebraska leg

that reason be compelled to be content

the upper house Of congress, and he a

atty of the active candidates for se1a-
torial honors asserted themselves and
the danger which threatened has been
avoided. First Thompson withdrew
for the sake of harmoy and then Rose
water announced his withdrawal and
like Thompson asked his supporters to
give their votes to a man whom he
named. Thompson's choice was Gov
ernor Dietrich, while Rosewater
named J. H. Milla1d, an Omaha bank

haps, Dietrich is the better known out

among the earlier settlers of the Black
Hills is he we'll known. He was one
of the pioneers of the latter section of
the west, while his acquaintance III
this part Of Montana is due to his
connection with mining enterprises in

the Clarke's Fork district. Many of
the people of Billings know him, it
might be said, intimately and to them
his election is a source of particular
qualification.
Aside from his personal worth, Gov.
ernor, now Senator Dietrich is held in
high admiration for his party loyalty
and his splendid executive ability.

LEARNING A LESSON.

The announcement that the miners
of the anthracite regions have decid-
ed not to strike comes as a welcome
bit of news Oh top of the many dis
quieting reports that have been COM
ing from the same territory during the
past few weeks. To have struck at
this time would have meant untold
misery and hardships for the miners,
while the operators, even though
they undoubtedly would have been
heavy losers, would have regarded a
strike as of less importance than if
inaugurated later in the season, when
the demand for their products is the
greatest.
Aside from the material effects of
the decision of the miners to continue
work, there is another side to the
question which is of even more i'm
po1tance than the decision o to
strike. It shows the existence of a
spirit of tolerance, a better under
standing Of men and conditions and
a larger comprehension of the effects
of moral forces rs agents for the better
accomplishments Of results in GER
tain directions than the application
of mere physical or brute force.
President Mitchell showed himself
possessed of a better grasp of the sit
uation, when he held out against a
strike than did his more radical asso-
ciates, who insisted upon the adoption
of extreme measures. Not long ago
he was one of those who favored a
strike as the only means Of gaining
the end sought for by the men whom
he guides and directs. Discussion
and thought seem to have convinced
him that there other ways of attain
ing the sought for end. He has ar
rived at the conclusion that no matter
what their position, men are not SO
cruel or Indifferent to the welfare OF
others but what they may be reasoned
with, especially when it can be shown
that it is to their own interest to
grant certain rights and concessions
to those who to a certain extent are
dependent upon them.
The trend of recent events has ali
been in the direction of a closer afili'
alton between labor and capital.
