thanks to President Roosevelt for the
stand taken in his message on Chi.

came from a non-partisan organiza'

this great body of toilers for the new
presidents position regarding the
welfare of labor.

SILVER BOW JUSTICE.

S hohtn pdSSto NllnOut u
cold-blooded murder occurring in Sill
yer Bow county, yet ii is rare that
conviction Is found in the first de-
gree. The most recent instance of
the miscarriage of justice was in the
case of n Patrick Hayes, who shot
and killed William ]. Mccain on Oct.
18th last. The murderer had been
whipped by his victim who came to
the defense of a woman and after
brooding over his discontinue he lay
In wait for Mccain and shot him
through a screen door as the latter
was on his way to work. Hays had
been on a drunken spree and was re-
garded as a hard character. All who
heard the evidence in the trial say
that a clean case of murder in the
first degree was made out against
Hayes, and In their judgment he
ought to be hanged" but, says q re.
port of the trial, "the verdict. how
ever, was no surprise. since people
who had the jury sized up expected
a disagreement or a second degree
verdict" The jury, after being out
seven hours. returned a verdict of 80
years in the p~enitentiary. which il
equivalent to life sentence unless
shortened by pardon, of which there
Is always some chance. Hayes was
a ~low-browed brute whose demeanor
during the trial was that of a tough,
or as the reporter of the trial puts it,
"a Hooligan or a man from the Bow
cry"
The Great Falls Tribune, Comment
ing upon this case. says:
This sort of thing has been going
on in Montana for a good long while.
Perhaps the l~eniency with which
murderers are treated In Butte is a
little worse than what is the Ease in
other counties, but it is bad enough
elsewhere. Such being the case il is
not about time for us to abolish the
death penalty and say that we regard
no murder as warranting the admin
istration of death as a punishment.
Let us at least be honest. If Mon
tana people have decided that hang
ing is a barbarous punishment and
should not be inflicted let us say so
in u laws. Why should we con-
tinue to have laws that are of NO ef-
feet? Practically the jurors are say
ing in these cases that murder does
not deserve hanging, and they are
supposed to represent the people of
Montana. From the evidence brought
out in the case in question there
could be no stronger substant1ation
Of the charge OF murder in the first
degree. II would be difficult TO i'm.
agine a more cruel and brutal muir
der. and here seems to have been nc
IlitiSdtAhs ClituIuSldnctS WuutcNtl
If he did not deserve hanging ther
NO murderer does"
Those who claim that the crime Of
murder is not lessened by the exact
ing of the death penalty may stant
on solid ground but the experience
OF some other states seems to dis
prove their position. We should like
to see the matter thoroughly discuss
ed in the next legislature. At pres
ent the law is a farce in a number o
counties in the state.
This case. as well as some others
would indicate that juries and tn
people Of Montana dread the infic
ton of the death penalty. II matter
not how grave the crime. II such !
the case, why not change the e,
IRENE penalty to Imprisonment fo
life?

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
q Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and IN
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged,
especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines, for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine. No secret is made of their
ingredients, although they are sold by all
druggists under protection of trade mark
but analysis shows them to contain the
natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic
pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal
bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act power
fully on any organ, but they cure indiges-
ton on the common sense plan Of digest
ing the food eaten thoroughly before II
has time to ferment, sour and cause the
mischief. This is the only secret of their
success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles, be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels
whereas the whole trouble is really In the
stomach.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there is
to II. Food not digested or half-digested
is poison, as 1t creates gas, acidlty, head
aches, pelpitation of the heart, loss of
flesh and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.

THE HOME.

''The tendency of modern life, says
a NewYorker, sis toward the abolition
of housekeeping in the city. People of
means have come to the conclusion
that 1t is better to dwell during the
winter season in good hotel than to
MAINTAIN a private domicile During
the summer they live in fine country
places, and their real home life IS cen
tered in these suburban abodes This
is getting to be more and more the or
der of things IN New York, and, on the
whole, it is about the best arrangement
under existing conditions"
Then the existing conditions are to
be regretted. While hotel life affords
conveniences and advantages, it is not
the kind of life family should be will
ing to live very long Neither the
hotel, boarding house nor the COM
munity flat can afford a true home;
least of all, family home. Those who
have been so unfortunate as to have
had no other, have never known what
true home IS. The family should have
a home to itself, where it can gather
around it's own freside and enjoy that
peace and seclusion, that sweet COM
munion and contentment known not
beyond its threshold The family
home is the altar of love and patriot
ism, the foundation stone of the repub-
lie. The family freside makes men
better and drawer and truer; 1t gives
them hope and courage when all else
fails, and tends to lead them from
temptation and evil ways. Children fly
the rooftree soon enough. They should
be taught the meaning and the benefits
of home, and there will ever linger
with them the memory of its beauty
and charm and sweetness. The hotel
may be a convenient eating and sleep
ing place; it may save household cares
and annoyances; but it is not home.
A man loves his home; he wastes no
affection on his boarding place. A man
will fight for his homel Imagine him
fighting for his hotel! And woman.
The woman who has no ambition 10 be
mistress of home is to be pltied.
Young man, never marry a woman who
is content with hotel life, who thinks
boarding place, where they rent beds
and sell hash, is-a home. There IS
theme for the preachers here. Let
them invelgh against the decadence Of
the family freside; let them encourage
the home-buiIder, the home-maker, the
home beautifer. Wherever possible
the home should have such eternal
adornments as trees and grass and
flowers. Within there are few limits
to the delights and beauties that may
be cultivated The home is the cradle
of virtue and liberty.
