ng the tariff question out of politics

ing the tariff question out of politics
by the appointment of a non-partisan
tariff commission to adjust schedules
will meet with quite general approval.
1t is a question too vast and intricate
to become the foot ball OF partisan
politics. The matter of schedules
should be revised by men who have
made a study of economic questions
and have no other ambition than the
promotion of the welfare of the peo-
pie as a whole. Upon the proper
treatment of this great question rests
the veal or woe of the nation and
the experience of the past has not
been such as to give assurance that
security rests in making ii a party
issue. Nothing so disturbs the busi-
ness interests OF the country as
threatened assaults upon the protect
i've system, and it is too apt to be
made an issue from selfish or political
reasons than from any abuses or ev-
lis inflicted upon the people. That is,
the people are made to believe that
they are injured by its operation
when in reality they have been bene-
fited.
Sudden changes in our Industrial
system should never be permitted If

JOHN BOYLE o'REILlY.

Republican and claiming membership
to the Seminole club of Butte. which
is quite probable, he doubtless belongs
to that large element in Butte when
has no party convictions but is simply
out for the mining litigant or corpora
tion that offers the best inducements.
Mr.. 0'Reilly has been in the county

A NEEDED AMENDMENT.

Again this fall the voters of Mon
tana are asked to pass upon an amend
ment to the constitution relating to
the terms Of office of county commits
sioners and it is sincerely to be hoped
that either the amendment will be
adopted, and legally go into effect, or
the subject be dropped, for it has be-
come considerable of chestnut in
Montana affairs.
The difficulty dates back to the
adoption of the state constitution in
1889. The constitutional convention
did not do what 1t intended doing and
ever since an effort has been made to
rectify the error. The proposed amend
ment has received the required two
thirds majority at three sessions of
the state legislature. Democrats and
Republicans have alike endorsed 1t
and but for official errors it would
long ago have been adopted. The first
time il was to have been submitted to
the people Secretary of State Rotwitt
neglected to advertise it as required
by law and its adoption was ineffect'
ual. Then another legislature provid-
ed for its submission. but failed to
have the amendment spread in full
upon the minutes of the assembly and
after being adopted, the point of error
was raised and the adoption annulled
by the supreme court The last legis-
lature ordered its submission this
year and they having spread il in full
on the minutes and the secretary Of
state having advertised It properly
the question will be legally upon the
ballots for the people to adopt or re-
ject.
The aim of the amendment is to so
arrange the terms of the county COM
missioners that not more than one
shall retire each two years-in other
words. always have two experienced
members remaining on the board. The
constitution providing four years as
the term of office of commissioners

1889, and the entire number have re.

fcrent than any other officers within

ter and will fool no one. He is here
in the interests OF Mr.. Heinze, who has
no politics.
We are reliably informed that Mr..
O'Reilly's mission in Fergus county is
to defeat the Republican legislative
ticket and il remains to be seen wheth-
er paid agent of the United Copper
Company and Mr.. Heinze can change
the political complexion of Fergus
county and turn it to the base uses of
the Butte intriguer.
Baffled in his attempt TO elect a
member of the supreme court OF the
state. Mr. Heinze's next move is to
secure a majority of the legislators
who will favor a bill increasing the
number of judges, and through the
aid oil his friend, the governor" have
two additional judges appointed who
will do his bidding. Knowing that the
men on the legislative ticket in this
county will oppose this high-handed
scheme Mr.. O'Reilly is here to defeat
them.
VIII the people of Fergus county
stand for this? Must this fight for
mining property in Silver Bow county
be carried into every county in this
state? Is the whole commonwealth
to be corrupted and prostituted to
further the interests of adventurous
mining sharks, who care nothing for
party or the people only SO they ac-
complish their own ends?
Mr.. o'Reilly will bear watching. He
and his boss should be taught lesson
on November 4th that they will never
forget. Let Fergus county take care
OF her own politics and stand true as
steel against outside interference.

The refusal of the coal barons to
arbitrate accentuates the necessity for
national and state legislation that will
place such monopolies under public
control They must be given to un-
derstand that the people have rights
tnat must be respected. President
Roosevelt has shown where his SYM
pathies lie in calling a conference OF
the officials of the road and the MIN
ers union. The course of President
Mitchell all through has been such as
to win the approval and moral support
of the people. He has been safe
and prudent leader and has met every
contention of the coal barons with ar
guments that placed them in a bad
light before the country. The self
anointed and divinely appointed Pres
ident Baer of the Reding railroad, Is
receiving the well-deserved censure
and ridicule of the press of the coun-
try. Whatever his qualifications for
the exalted position he occupies, he
has certainly stamped himself stupid
ass in discussing the merits of the
strike and contending for the rights
oil the company and the baron rob
bers he represents. The approach ot
winter and the growing scarcity of an
thracite coal makes the situation 9
critical one and it is believed some
measures will be found to end the
strike at an early date though the re
cent efforts are little discouraging

Those elected at the last election,

I'll November 9th last year and would
retire on November 9Th. 1905. As the

the preferred plan working right.

To- January 1, 1907-thlrteen months.
Al the election in 1904 no commits

ton in 1906, there would be elected
one commissioner for a term Of two
years. one for term of four years,
enc for term of six years, each of
whom would take office January /,
1907. At each subsequent election one
commissioner would be elected for a
term of six years.

DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

If the odium of being called rot.
ten borough" is ever to be removed
from the state of Montana it must be
done by the Republican party. While
it is true that the great mining cor
porations and multi-millioaires of one
or two counties exert certain amount
of influence over all parties in the
state il is nevertheless true that the
Republican party stands more firmly
for the best interests of the state
than all others combined. The dis
grace that has been brought upon the
fair name of Montana in the past four
years is almost wholly the work of
the Democratic party and its ambitious
millionaires. What the latter lacked
in talent and fitness and those person
al qualities which win the esteem and
support of men was made up in cash,
transaction that bound men only for
brief period.
1t is probably just retribution that
Senator w. A. Clark found himself
without any following in his own coun-
ty until he made his peace with the
Amalgamated Democracy.
Discovering the break in the armor
O. the cold and calculating million
aire. Mr. Heinze nearly secured con-
troll of the Democratic machine. While
his motives are not to be commended
he displayed cunning that wins ad-
miration from many and judgment In
trying to win his point through DEM
ocratic aid. This bold attempt to con-
trol the Democratic party of Montana
is evidence of its mercenary character,
an aggregation for barter and sale.
In order to maintain control Mr.. Clark
had to make peace with his old-time
enemies who had abused him without
stint
Such is the beautiful aspect Of the
Montana Democracy and its crooked
and devious ways in the past four
years. Coming into power by the aid
of the free silver craze it has been
conspicuous for its nastiness and cor
ruption ever since. It's chief senator
adds no luster or responsibility to the
state, its governor has dropped to the
level of a Tammany ward politician
and the leaders are all suspicious of
each other. Yet LAS Is the party that
comes before the people of Montana
for endorsement and support.
The Republicans of Fergus and all
other stock counties should go to the
polls determined to wrest Montana
from the disgrace placed upon 1t by
the Democracy of two or three popu-
lous mining counties.
The majority of the people of this
state are not concerned in mining liti-
| cation in Silver Bow county and 1t
should not control the politics of this
state.
On fair vote Montana is Repub-
lican state. Let every Republican do
his duty on the 4th OF next month
and it can be redeemed from Demo
cratic domination and disgrace.
