COMPARISONS upon the weather
of the month upon which we have
just entered, and the October
weather of the past twenty years,
as furnished by the weather bureau
can be made with interest at this
time. The records show that the
warmest month was that of 1900
with an average of 40 degrees.
The coolest month was that of 1887
with an average of 39 degrees.
The highest temperature was 80 on
the 2nd, 1897. The lowest tenn
perature was 3 on the 29th, 1895.
Average date on which first "kill-
ing' frost occurred, Sept. ~. The

LOOK over the list of star mail
route contracts, which will be let at
the time of opening of bids, Decem-
Der 3rd. Those interested in routes
in their respective localities should
put in bids at living prices. There
is no longer cause to fear the big
contractor from the east as the
government now requires that the
party to whom the contract is let
shall live on the route which he
intends to operate. These cut
throat concerns, who in the past
have bid them in at a good figure
and then sub-let them to local
parties for less than half what thew
are worth have been ousted from
their sinch. No one should take
a contract for carrying the mails
for less than three or four dollars
for every twenty miles travelled
on each trip. The service render
ed is worth it whether the one who
pays is the United States govern
ment or a private individual.

NEVER in the history of the
nation has there been a more
urgent need for the democratic
party than there is today. The
republican party has.become the
party of organized wealth, of i'm
perialism, Of a tariff that protects
and enriches the few at the ex-
pense of the many, of an industri-
al system which piles up wealth
at the feet of the millionaices
while the toiling masses struggle
for the barest comforts of life
The unjust distribution of wealth
is the greatest menace to the re.
public. At this time, as always in
the history of the United States,
the democratic party is the
champion of the masses, of the
common people, and to that party
the country must look to prevent
this nation from departing from
the wise principles laid down by
the fathers who wrote the con-
stitution.

IF the republicans had any ma
tional pride they would not exag-
gerate the number of anarchists in
the United States, but for partisan
purposes they try to make it ap-
pear that all who oppose republi-
can policies-nearly half the people
in the United States-are at heart
in sympathy with assassins. Along
this line it might be we'll to direct
the attention of these republicans
who have seemingly allowed their
partisanship to run mad to the
fact that Patterson, the capitol
city of New Jersey, located in a
republican congressional district
and in state whose governor is
republican, has gained the un-
enviahle reputation of being the
Observation-Disclosures of the Unit
Cd States.

The St. Paul Globe which
aspires to the leadership among
the western democratic press, has

cally wrong" The Globe will

up a following among democrats

Germ to our'St. Paul contemporary.

connection with the steel and

There may be some questions on
which there is uncertainty among
democrats, but favoritism of trusts
and imperialism are not included
in the category. ....

THE COAL TRUST.
The anthracite coal trust ia

The anthracite coal trust is az
greedy, grasping and monopolistic
a trust as there is in the whole
category. The present high price
and the prospective higher price
of hard coal is due not to any fall
ing off in the amount produced,
not to any strike or increase of
wages to the miners, not to any
difficulties or any increased ex.
pense of mining, but solely and
exclusively to the desire of the
trust managers to win increased
dividends.
The operators of private hard
coal mines, of which there are still
few left-who are obliged, how
ever, to sell their output to the
trust or close-are allowed SITS
ton for their product. At that
price anybody can buy coal in the
coal fields. But this is a small
matter so far as results are con-
cerned, in view of the fact that the
anthracite trusts control all the
railroads which haul their product
from the mines of Pennsylvania.
If it wss>decided to charge $l2
instead of $40 q ton for coal, the
price of mining would still remain
at SITS a ton, and the necessary
difference would be made up by
raising the freight rate. This is
the situation in brief, and the
trust defenders will probably have
difficulty in explaining it away.

In the naval inquiry now in
progress, the Sampson crowd,
which is composed largely of high
naval officials, are determined that
Schley shall have nothing lef,

The latest is the claim that he did

how man could manage to make
SO many mistakes as did Schley.

DURING the week President
Merrifeld of the state university
has declined the principalship of
the state university of Maine.
The offer WAS declined although
the salary was $1,000 in excess of
that paid at North Dakota's uni
versity. The work done at the
state GU during the incumbency
of President Merrifeld has turned
out to be quite successful. His
Indifference to the offer made by
the board of the university of
Maine may arouse the curiosity of
some however, until it is recalled
that both President Mortified and
Prof. Babcock of that institution
have heavy commercial interests
and capital invested in the Penn
bina cement mines, which of late
have developed into pretty good
thing. All who have watched the
growth and progress of our state
university will hear of President
Merrifield's determination to re-
main in charge with satisfaction.
It is likely that his mining profits
at the cement works will make tie
paltry increase offered by the
educators of Maine look pretty
small. The act itself of Principal
Mortified declining their offer
gave the opportunity for what in
base ball parlance would be term
ed a grand stand play. The
whole state will with emotion
approve and acclaim the unselfsh
love of President Merrifeld for
his life's work and bear wreaths
and garlands to one capable of
such patriotism and sacrifice.

One of the curiosities in tho
wheat crop situation is that the
price 10 some z cents lower than .
year ago and there is estimated as
being 22,0OO,OOO bushels less in
the visible supply than year ago.
In North Dakota this year oats
and barley are worth relatively
more than wheat and the prices of
nearly all other farm products aud
stock are much better than that of
wheat. It would seem that the
North Dakota farmer had had
enough experience by this time to
diminish his wheat acreage and
put his time into some other branch
of labor that will bring him better
returns; for under the ordinary
conditions of the wheat crop
throughout the world, together
with the machinery that has been
created for the buying of his grain
and the system of marketing the
surplus crop, he can never expect
to get really paying prices for
wheat one year with another. He
may ge; high price one year for
a short time after the bulk of the
grain is marketed, but the chances
are all against him in the matter
of price to say nothing of the I'M.
certainty of the yield. There is
more profit in other things that
the farm will produce, one year
with another, than there is with
wheat, and in most years the wheat
raiser after figuring in all legiti-
mate items of cost in the crop, has
actually paid other people to eat
the wheat he raises for them.

WEATHER prophets Hicks and
Foster have figured out that the
weather of the next year and a
half is likely to be quite badly
mixed which is not altogether
different to what has been exper-
fenced in the past. Hicks also
gives us severe rain and snow
storms for the last of CHS month.
The average weather prophet Is
onto his job at least half the time

these two have been mixed of late
leads to the idea that they must be
sadly in need of their annual va
cation. It would at least have the
beneficial effect Of giving the pub.

Mr.. GIBSON.

Senator Paris Gibson, Montana's
senior representative in the upper
house of congress, is at Washington.
OF course, he did not escape the keen
sight and prying tongue of the inter-
viewer and what he said was prompt
telegraphed to one of the newspapers
OF his own state. In the part of the
Interview which has been wired to
the Anaconda Standard the senator
exhibits a rare combination of ingen-
uousness and diplomacy. The skillful
manner in which he avoided a direct
answer to an awkward question would
do credit to one less new to the posi-
ton in which he finds himself, as he
very modestly admits himself to be-.
While disclaiming any intention or
desire to launch into any discussion
OF public questions, the senator at the
same time acknowledged that he has
always been a free trader, but admit
ting that the situation regarding the
tariff has changed. 1T is now largely
a business proposition" says the SEN
t T me it appears that we have
made such giant strides in
and industry that we are able to COM
pete with the world without protec-
ton"
Eminently correct is Mr.. Gibson
When he says that the tariff is a bust
ness proposition. 1t was proper con-
ceptlon and appreciation of this fact
that caused a republican %administra-
ton to repeal the tariff laws it found
IN existence when it assumed the DOW
ers of government. 1t was realization
OF the fact that as a business proposi-
tlon 1t was essential to the welfare
OF the entire country that a new tariff
should be enacted at once and it was
also the further realization of that
1act mat unless something of the kind
were done the business of the country
would neve revive from the stag

sense and judgment that caused tn,
wonderful strides in commerce an,
industry of which Senator Gibson nov
speaks 81 proudly.
But it was to the next question
that Mr. Gibson made the answer
which instantly gave him first place
among the diplomatists in the politi
cal arena of the country.
do the woolgrowers of Montana
still want a TARIFF" he was asked.
Mark the reply the gentleman made.
1T is very satisfactory to them" he
cautiously answered and then began a
dissertation on the superiority over
all others of the wool grown in the
northern part of the state, adding that
there was nothing in the United States
that could compare with it in quality.
Incidentally he said that Montana
also leads in the quantity of wool pro.
duced.
Acknowledged free trader that he
is, Senator Gibson did not have the
hardihood to fatty say that the wool
growers of this state do not want a
continuation of the tariff on their sta
pie. By the same token he was not
willing to go on record as saying that
they wanted a tariff or that the exist
of the present tariff made it pos
sible for them to build their branch
OF business and industry to the mag
nitude that now marks it.
Mr.. Gibson seems to be a free trader
in spots only.
