SOBER JUDGMENT.

In the good city of Boston a decision
has been handed down by court in
which dictionary was used as a
foundation for legal opinion. 1t ap-
pears that a certain Michael w. Brick,
ex- alderman, local political leader and
all round public character, was taken in
tow by the police, charged with drunk
enness, and brought before the munich
pal court to square matters with the law
by paying the usual fine. Realizing that
he had no defense in law. the willy Brick
sprung a dictionary on the court. Ac-
cording to the technical description of a
plain drunk in the volume produced for
the enlightenment of the judge, it was
necessary for Brick to be overcome,
stupetied or frenzied by alcoholic liquor"
1t was the testimony Of the officers who
overcome, and that at the time of his
arrest his actions indicated that he was
frenzied, but upon cross-examination
they were unable to state positively that
this frenzy found its cause in the pota-
tons which Brick had imbibed. Unhesi-
tatingly the officers said that the form
of intoxicat ton in which Brick had In
dulged possessed nothing resembling a
stupefied condition. Upon this showing
it being plain to the court that mis-
take had been made in some quarter
the defendant was discharged.
This episode in the Boston court opens
up a wide field for speculation. Should
courts continue to take the dictionary
for a guide, the kind of drunkenness
which stops short of stupefaction may
be expected to increase alarmingly. A
spree which has the characteristics Of
the one in which Brick distinguished
himself, and which enables it's possessor
to take refuge behind the dictionary. IL
likely to become the fashion. There is
reason for courts to become mystifed,
police discouraged and prohibitionists
disguised in the turn of affairs which
introduces the dictionary as the chief
bulwark of intoxication. The bat in
which Brick INDUCED has apparently
made a decided and sensational hit.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

It is not too early at this time for
those engaged in agricultural pursuits
in Montana to prepare for holding in
stitutes in the various sections of the
state. During the past few years the
winter season has been made profitable
to the ranchers of the state by meetings
at which a variety of topics pertaining
to farming were discussed. From the
various schools of the state, principally
from the college at Bohemian, men
skilled in matters relating to scientific
farming have attended the farmers in
statutes and stimulated interest in ques-
tons concerning which every man who
tills the soil of Montana should be in
formed. Irrigation. weeds peculiar to
Montana soil, stock raising in all its
branches, grasses suited to arabic lands.
labor saving farm implements, adul-
teration of foods-these were some Of
the matters discussed at the institutes

To The Philadelphia Records current

full and the discouraging aspects of the
effort to reach and punish. under oar
system OF free government. those WHO
plot to strike through the head of the.
state at public security and public orders.
Mr.. Beck does not minimize the diff1cul-s
ties in the way of any thoroughgoing
crusade against anarchy and anarchists.
Sternly repressive legislation he admits,
has failed in one European country afeer-
another to stamp out anarchist conspifasr
cies. Indeed, the fires Of persecution
have uniformly stimulated the arlor Of
these fanatic enemies of society. on
whom punishment has ceased in many
cases to exercise it's normal terrors: and
in the assistant attorney generals view.

open anarchistic propa ga ntta, conducted

be with one conducted with the secrecy

last year. Concerning the last mention-
ed topic so much was said that it was
brought prominently before the state,
legislature and action taken by that
body relative to food adulteration. Each
year sees interest in questions dis
cussed at farmers institutes increase.
For the coming season there are mat.
tiers of interest, not only to Montana
but to the people of the whole North
west, to engage the attention of Mon
tana ranchers when they NEST in insti-
tute gatherings.
Another phase of the question which
should appeal to those who are concern
ed in the development of Montana re-
lates to the new settlers who have taken
up their residence in this state. In the.
main these recent arrivals are unin-
formed respecting the things they
should know to make ranching in Mon
tana a success. In the states from
which they have removed irrigation is
not understood; the methods of tilling
the soil. dates of seed time and harvest
and even the implements used in the
commonest operations Of fanchng, all
are different from what they have been
accustomed to in the Eastern states.
It is in the interest Of agriculture and
in line with the best course of Develop
ment of the state, then, that the knowl-
edge which may be gained at farmers
institutes be spread abroad each winter
Each agricultural section of the state
can furnish local talent to make the in
stitute programs profitable and inter-
esting. Well-known residents of the
state who are able to entertain public
gatherings seldom refuse to journey to
sections, near or remote, and add what
ever their abilities will admit to the
success of the Institutes. There are op-
portunities to make the institute season
in the state time of profit to all who
are concerned in the development Of
Montana, the upbuilding of it's agricul-
tural interests and the promotion of
public spirit and good feeling. It is not
too early at this time to arrange dates
for the Institutes to be held this winter.

Or. Rlxty'S REPORT.

A feature of today's news is the report
Of Dr. Rixey on the death of the late
president 1t is a final and authorita-
tive statement and should set at rest
discussion upon The many mooted points
in the celebrated case. The tone of the
statements made by the physicians in
the case has not heretofore been raised
above an apologize strain. In the
newspapers and in magazines published
to further the advancement of the SCI
ence Of medicine what has been said has
been mainly of service in obscuring the
view of the public. 1t is somewhat
amazing that no clearly defined state
ment, stating the immediate cause ct
death as revealed by the autopsy, has
heretofore been made by any one con-
nected with the case. There has been
plenty of argument published, but it has
lacked in conclusions which might natu
rally be expected to follow learned dis
QUESTIONS upon a theme of public in
terest.
The main concern of tine public has
been with regard to the contributory
causes of the presidents death. 1t is,
to some degree, a comfort to learn from
high authority that it is the judgment
of medical men that from the first
death was inevitable. and that weak
heart and feeble recuperative power
caused the chances of the distinguished
patients recovery to lie beyond the help
of medical skill. From the first recep
ton of the injury the danger to the
presidents life was beyond the possibii
ity of repair, and the result could not
be avoided by any means within the
doctors power The public entertained
a suspicion that the doctors did not
know their business, and it now. and
justly, too, holds the medical men to ac-
count for inspiring hope when there was.
as subsequent events proved. not the
slightest ground upon which to base the
cheering messages to the anxious public.
It must be acknowledged, in view of
all the facts, that medical science has
fallen far short of what was claimed for
it, and the results of the physicians
efforts in the late presidents case were
distinct and sorrowful disappoint-
ment.

FlGhT-hOUR DAY IN FRANCE.

Recent labor troubles in France and a
demand for an eght-hour day and other
concessions for the miners employed in
the Monteceau les mines, have brought
tie internal affairs of the French republic
under the careful scrutiny Of those in
terested in practical examples of politi-
cal economy. The preparation for armed
resistance on the part Of French miners,
has brought prominently to the front
many details Of the government, which
otherwise would remain hidden from
public knowledge until called forth by a
CONFUSION of the elements of the restless
population of the decadent republic.
France has been living beyond her in
come for a number of years. At present
at rate that threatens to carry the
government into the shoals of bank
ruptcy, and troubles among the indus
trial classes gather force as the times
grow harder. The estimated revenues of
the present year have not been realized
by some 10 millions of dollars, and re-
ceipts have fallen off fully % millions
French ministry appears inclined to let
things drift, and it is more than likely
that crisis will be reached in the af-
fairs Of the nation, unless those who are
responsible for it's present plight awaken
to a realization Of the national needs.
Looking out from prosperous coun-
try, in whose treasury over 70 millions
of dollars surplus has accumulated, it is
not hard for American citizens to SYM
pathize with French workingmen. Their
country bears debt Of $500 millions OF
dellars, the largest national debt of any
country in the world. In that country of
poorly paid wage earners an average tax
for the current expenses OF government
and meet the interest upon the enormous
public debt. The 81 millions who form
the country's population contribute
nearly as much to the expenses of gov
eminent as rs million Americans.
With all these conditions to battle
against, France is making an ambitious
but vain attempt to remain in the list
of the foremost world powers. A third
of all the national income goes each year
to provide for the expenses of a military
establishment which will rival that Of
Germany, and navy that will measure
up to the standard raised by England.
It is to this devotion to the arts of war,
rather than attention to peaceful pur-
suits, that France owes her present
melancholy condition.
The present industrial troubles OF
France arise from an attempt to increase
the revenues by allowing a greater por-
tion of the national burden to rest upon
the poor. From each family $37 is ex-
acted. to pay interest upon the huge debt
and there appears to be no means of
meeting the approaching crisis. but by
diminishing expenses, floating a loan to
raise funds for immediate use and drop
ping back into a less expensive class OF
nations, where proper remedies may be
applied to revive the failing fortunes OF
the country. France is suffering from
industrial ills, such as this country mar
rowly escaped few years ago. and the
result of intrusting the government to

Contractors Say Present Boom Is Al

together Unprecedented.
Pedestrians in the city have of late ac-
customed themselves to vending in a
zigzag path. through the public high
ways, owing to the present boom in
Buttes building business.
In certain thoroughfares people find
themselves in the middle of the street
quite as much as upon the sidewalks.
With every passing windstorm the public
eye Is filled with sand, bricks and
crumbled mortar.
Many of the big buildings in the heart
of the city are fast nearing completion.
The imposing structure being erected by
William Clark at Park and Academy
streets for office purposes will be ready
for occupany about the first of the year.
A building to be devoted to business
and lodging purposes. in course of con-
struction by Senator Clark, west Of
Main, on Park. will, it is anticipated, be
finished by April. 1t is said that the
main floor, which is Of immense area,
will be occupied by the Kennedy Furni-
ture company.
The Miner building, West Broadway, Is
also expected to be completed about the
first Of the year. The two lower floors
and the basement, however, which will
be used by the Butte Miner, will be
ready for the press sometime during the
next fortnight. The paper will then take
possession at once.
Work on the skyscraper at Broadway
and Main, Shackleton & Whiteway, con-
tractors, is progressing rapidly.
The method employed in building from
the roof down has been the cause of
much curious comment. The reason Is
given, however. that the three lower
stories are to be finished in terra Gotta.
AS each story is constructed separ-
ately, having no relation with the other
parts, the construction from top to bot
tom is an easy matter.
The boom in the building district Is
but situation Of what is taking place
all over town. Lodging houses. apart
ment houses, fiat buildings and private
dwellings are in course Of construction
wherever the eye may turn.
1t looks as IL the predictions of old
timers that Butte is going to double in
size is about to be realized.

comforts and disagreeable circum-
stances connected with it.
During the reign of Frederick the
Great an old woman was granted the
privilege by that grand sovereign to sell
refreshments of various kinds during
the summer months in that part of the
Thiergarten, which was then in very
wild state and covered several times the
area that it does today, To protect her
wares from the effects of the rain and
the sun the old woman spread a canvas
roof over them, and Immediately the
place was given the name "'Das Zelt."
One day, the story goes, the woman
and her husband had a quarrel which
terminated in the husband finding him
self out of job. To show his unamiable
spouse that his head was as level as hers
he sought and gained permission of the
king to start a 'Zelt' on his own hook,
and so 'Das Zelt'' became die Zelten.'
Both places thrived, and as their popu-
larity grew from year to year, and the
people manifested desire to continue
