PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

Under the most %grievous circum-
stances Theodore Roosevelt suddenly
succeeds to the presidency of the United
States and we believe the American
people will, without regard to party
wish him well in the trying ordeal
The third death OF II president at the
hands of an assassin should admonish
political parties of the necessity of
making wise selections for second place
on the tickets. Nicc-prcsidcnts have
not always been chosen for their special
fitness for first place, in ease Of death
but too often to placate factions or out
of Difference TO locality. and some have
been disappointments when called
to assume the leadership, a notable in.
lance being Andrew johnson. who
succeeded the martyred Lincoln.
In Theodore Roosevelt the country
has II man VI the purest character u
vigorous and rugged American. Il man
of physical and moral courage and one
who, at the age Of 80, has a wide
range of experience in and knowledge
Of public affairs. lie has long enjoyed
the confidence of the conservative and
reformative elements in his party be,
cause of his sterling integrity and hon.
esty of purpose.
OF n different mould from that of hi,
lamented predecessor. he is not lacking
in patriotism or a lofty conception o.
duty. To some he may seem vain ant
spectacular but this may be due to tn,
enthusiasm of youth. In the sad even
which has thrust grave responsibilities,
upon him we believe this tendency, /
1t existed, will disappear. His eager
ness to meet the expectations of hi
countrymen will bring out the hes
that is in him.
His determination TO carry out tn
policies of President Mckinley is re
assuring and will meet the approval O
a majority of the American people
Few, II any, changes in the cabinc
will be made, and with such wise ad
visers, several of whom are ht pres
Dental timber, there is little DANCE
TO the ship of state which will sail o
majestically checred and sustained b
millions of loyal Americans.

From the time Of the assassination OF
President Mckinley until the last news
concerning his death was at hand the
Argus kept the people of Fergus county
well posted by the mea Of bulletins
issued several times each day. This
was made possible through the kindness
of the editors of the Great Falls Tribune,
the Great Falls Leader and the Mon
tana Daily Record, and to them we
desire to publicly extend n thanks.
Mistakes sometimes crept in, but these
were owing TO the difficulties of trans
mission. Those postofiices connected
with Lewistown by wire were promptly
given the news by telephone and TO the
others bulletins were mailed. For the
many expressions of appreciation we
are grateful. While this service has
been an item of considerable expense To
the ARGUS we are satisfied in knowing
that our efforts have been appreciated,
aud though it is To- be earnestly hoped
that another such occasion will not
arise within this generation, If ever,
the ARGUS may be depended upon TO
furnish the news promptly.

According TO the dispatches the grea,
steel strike is off and the men have
gone to work on the best terms they
could get. 1t now appears that the
strike was i'll advised originally and
President Shaffer has not proven apru-
dent leader. There was not that unan-
unity in the matter essential to sue
cess. Some unions refused to brcal,
their contracts with local mills, while
sympathetic strikes and aid did not ma
terialize to the extent anticipated, Had
the steel workers accepted the first
terms offered and then quietly but
gradually worked among the men they
would soon have secured more union
mills and accomplished their object
without the loss of thousands OF dol
lar, in wages and prestige as regards
their organization. Strikes are deplor-
able at all times and when not caused
by a just grievance. which arouses the
sympathy OF the public, are likely Ia
fail.

ARRISTID At CH0TEAu.
Dewolfe Charged With Horse Stealing in
Alberta and Northern Montana.

The notorious Percy DeWolfe IL
again in the clutches Of the law. He
was arrested late Wednesday after
noon at Choteau, where he was to
appear at the present term Of court
To answer to- the charge of stealing
cattle from Bourne & Hamilton. He
was under 81 900 cash bond to appear
there and the local authorities. who
have been looking for him ever since
last July, knew that he would surely
be there at this time. They were not
disappointed, for when Deputy Joslyn
arrived he found his man, who eX-
pressed no surprise that he was
wanted here. Yesterday morning the
Choteau case was dismissed on mo-
ton OF the comfy attorney, and I'm
medlately thereafter Joslyn and his
prisoner started Tor Great Falls.
This Is the third trip Joslyn has made
after DeWolfe. Both Of the previous
trips were to the Blackfeet coded strip.
where DeWolie lives with his wife. a
quarter.breed daughter OF John Por-
ter, one OF the wealthiest residents Of
hat section.
Each time the deputy put In an ap-
pearance DeWolie had just left the
country and no trace OF him could be
had.

tegrity and the best business capac-
ity OF those 10 charge OF these depos-
tories OF the peoples earnings.
"We have a vast and intricate bus
iness built up through years of toll
and struggle. In which every part OF
the country has Its stake. which will
not permit OF either neglect or Of un-
due ~selfisbness. No narrow, sordid
policy will subserve 1t. Our indus.
trial enterprises which have grown
to such great proportions affect the
homes and occupations of the people
and the welfare OF the country. Our
capacity to produce has developed
so enormously and our products have
so multiplied that the problem OF
more markets requires our urgent
and immediate attention.
"Only a broad and enlightened pol
Icy will keep what we have. No
other policy will get more. In these
times of marvellous business energy
and gain we ought to be looking to
the future, strengthening the weak
places In our Industrial and CONNER
cial systems, that we may be ready
for any storm or strain.
by sensible trade arrangements,
which will not interrupt our home
production, we shall extend the out
lets for u increasing surplus. A
system which provides a mutual en-
change of commodities IL manifestly
essential to continue the healthful
growth of ourexport trade. Wemust
not repose In fancied security that
we can forever sell everything and
buy little or nothing. II such a thing
were possible, 1t would not be best
for us or for those with whom we
deal. W. should take from our GUS
toners such of their products as we
can use without harm to our indus
tries and labor.
Reciprocity Is the natural out
growth of u wonderful industrial
development under the domestic pol
icy now firmly established. The per-
Tod OF exclusiveness is past. The e1-
pansion OF our trade and commerce
IL the pressing problem. Commercial
wars are Improbable. A policy of
good will and friendly trade relations
will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity
treaties r In harmony with the
spirit Of the times; of retail
iation are not.
"lf, perchance, some of our tariffs
are no longer needed for revenue or
to encourage and protect our indus
tries at home, why should they not
be employed to extend and promote
our markets abroad?
Then, too. we have an inadequate
steamship service. New lines of
steamers have been already put in
commission between the Pacific coast
ports OF the United States and those
on the western coasts of Mexico and
Central and South America. These
should be followed up with direct
steamship lines between the eastern
coast of the United States and South
American ports. One of the needs OF
the times Is direct commercial lines
from our vast fields Of produce to the
fields OF consumption that we have
but barely touched. Next in advan.
tage tn having the thing to sell, IL III
have the convenience to carry 1t tO
the buyer. We must encourage our
merchant marine. We must have
more ships. They must he under the
American flag, built and owned and
manned by Americans"

Two thousand socialists in Chicago
voted down "A resolution of regret for
the assassination of President McKin.
ley. The argument ofthose opposed to
the resolution is that Mckinley is the
representative of the capitalist class,
and thus his safety or dangers are mat
tiers of no concern TO socialists. II is
very easy TO discover that a socialist is
not so very much better than an an
archist.

Emma Goldman is in the hands Of
the Chicago police and, judging from
the talk in which she is permitted to
indulge, she is the worst of the spawn

condition. How anyone can quietly
listen tn their vile mouthings is difficult

SECOND HALE.

In the second half Georgetown braccd
slightly, but not enough to affect the
score. Twice V. p. /. was held for downs
in this half when the ball was inside OF
Georgetown's Vineyard line. The erect
of this good work was offset, however,
by failure on the part of Georsetown,s
lire to protect Edmonston in his attempts
to punt the bail out of danger.
Once Campbell blocked the kick and Sc
cured a safety, and the other time Miles
broke through and smothered the kick,
failing on the bali for a touchdown.
" p LIS last touchdown was made on
beautiful end runs by Wilcox, the backs
Interfering for him nicely. He carried the
ball to Georgetown's eight-yard line and
Mccormick carried it over.
A GOOD KICKER
Carpenter kicked all of the goals. his
second one being made from a difficult
angle Miles quit the game in the second
half. though he was not badly hurt. OF
the Georgetown cripples, Captain Barry.s
hurt was worse. He was carried from the
field with a badly wrenched leg.
