NOTHING ELSE WILL DO.
butte Miner.)

1t is certainly within the province
of a newspaper to espouse either side
to controversy or to take a middle
course and advocate neither. But be-
cause every other paper does not
agree with it's views is no excuse for
descending to abuse or the calling of
harsh or disagreeable names. That
is as undignified as it is unjustifiable.
Such a course the Helena Herald
seems to have adopted in the Harvey
matter towards those newspapers
which have called upon the accused
Judge to defend himself by all the
means the law places in his power.
1t speaks of all these newspapers as
the coal OIL press and accuses them
in set terms of "defaming" the jurist.
Now the Miner wishes to say in it's
own behalf that it Is not in the class
the Herald is accustomed to speak of
as the coal oil press" No one &C.
quainted with the course Of this paper
in the past would for a moment sus-
pect it of being controlled by that
influence. At the same time the
Miner has, in common with others, in
sisted that the accused Judge take
what steps are necessary to clear his
good name and that of the judiciary.
It proposes to continue doing so, re-

inspired the assault on Judge Harvey
the fact remains that the assault has

make the defense right here at home.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY, AUGUST Is, 1901.
THE LEVY REDUCED.

The esteemed Inter Lake should not
overlook the opportunity for comment
upon the extravaganza of the county
administration furnished in the com.
parative tax levy for tie past few
years, as published in Tuesdays Bee.
The levy shows a steady decrease
since 1898 and decrease from last
year of 1.9 mills. The decrease in
the levy since 1898 is nearly one per
cent.
So far as the Bee can see, the county
commissioners, the county assessors,
the county officials generally and,
above all, the taxpayers, have reason
for congratulation IN this showing.
To reduce the tax levy from three per
cent to less than two per cent in four
years in a growing county with ever
increasing needs. is notable and
most commendable achievement.

an entirely different system of keep

IN the world. However, this is true.
and there are many Of the eastern
roads now considering the adoption
of our plan.
The system in vogue on the Great
Northern is from the brains of Mr..
Hill. OF course, many of the accounts
are developments of what Mr.. Hill
first suggested. but the foundation of

ABATlNG NUISANCES.

One by one the minor nuisances of
modern life are being grappled with.
The Butte papers tell that the city
officials will endeavor to enforce the
ordinance making it misdemeanor to
with this idea in view notices warn
ing the public will be tackled up on
telegraph poles all over the city.
When the ordinance was passed con-
siderable publicity was given it, and
pedestrians of their own accord
made trips to the curbing when they
wanted to expectorate. For a few
weeks everything moved smoothly,
and it was generally noticed that the
walks were much cleaner than they
had been. Police interference was
not necessary, as there was an evil
dent effort on the part OF the MAORI
of the people to observe the new law.
But of late there has been a tendency
to lapse into the former habit of
splitting and there have been numer-
Gus complaints from merchants, so
the police have received instructions
to see that the law is strictly enforc-
ed. On ratings that protect area
ways in the business portion of the
city men are inclined to loiter an
expectorate on the sidewalk in front
of them, and if they continue to do
it the police will take a hand in the
matter. The Miner says the ladies OF
the federated women's clubs were in.
strumental in having the ordinance
passed, and the delegates appearing
before the board of health promised
to do all in their power to assist in
suppressing the habit, but they have

eager to have the ordinance enforced
it is suggested that they might do a
little detective work and swear to
complaints against violators. They
would not have to don male attire, but
they would have to appear in the po
lice court against the offenders. II
they feel delicacy in doing this they
might call the attention of policemen
to anyone expectorating on the walks
and If the policeman is a witness to
the offense he will arrest the guilty
party, and, failing in this, will prob
ably deliver reprimand. There is a
provision of the ordinance which per
mits the judge of the police court to
impose q fine for each and every of
