Judicial Decree Declares Steel Truss
Bond Issues Unwarranted

At Newark. N. j., Vice Chancellor
Emery decided the suit brought by
Hodge and others against the United
States Steel corporation in favor of the
compliments. and allowed the order
restraining the bond issue. The vice
chancellor decided that the meeting of
directors at which the resolution was
adopted providing for a bond onver-
sion. was p~rematurely called and that
the retirement of stock must therefore
be enjoined. The decision agrees with
that of the court Of errors.

It is to be hoped that interest in
the success of their favorite candi-
dates will not prevent the voters Of
the county from giving due considera-
ticn to the fact that they will be ask.
ed to express their sentiment in the
matter of bonding the county for the
purpose of erecting a new court house.
On several occasions The Gazette has
referred 10 the matter and given it's
reasons for believing that such a build
ing is needed and should be erect
ed at the very earliest possible time.
Those reasons still hold good and nc
valid argument can be advanced
against the proposition. Everybody
recognizes the urgency of the need
and everybody should vote for the
bonds. Once before the same matter
has been submitted and although it
received a majority of the votes cast
on the question, because of a techni-
cality the court. ruled that it had been
defeated. Since then the law has
been SO amended as to make another
such occurrence impossible and this
time the question will be definitely
settled one way or the other. Vote
for bonds and show your public spirit
edness and progressiveness.

Judge Holloway is in every way
qualified for the position for which
his party has named him and is en-
titled to the support of all good cit
liens. His record as a district judge
shows him to be a man ct ability and
unimpeachable honesty and integrity.
Furthermore, he is a republican and
as such all the more worthy of col
sideration, as he represents the party
which has done more for the state
and nation than the party Of those
who are endeavoring to compass his
defeat by the questionable and dis
creditable methods to which they have
seen fit to resort.

Some of the democratic newspapers
are giving evidence of the frame of
mind in which the popular acceptance
of the candidacy of the Hon. Joseph
NJ. Dixon has placed them. They are
calling him Joe and attempt to be-
little him in every possible way. Mr..
Dixon stands for principles and is
conducting his campaign h%onorably
and honestly and need not stoop to
the methods of his traducers. He is
the candidate of the party which has
given Montana the unparalleled degree
of prosperity it enjoys in every branch
of the multifarious industries repre-
scented within it's borders and appeals
fer support on that ground. He is the
candidate of the party that has given
the tlocks and herds of the state the
value they possess and has made it
possible for producers of the raw ma
terial to sell their products at living
rates and pay to their employees wages
better than are paid to the poems of
the southern lands. The party that
caused the ranges of the state to be
covered with sheep and cattle and to
displace the coyotes that held sway
under democratic administrations.

The adage concerning the congen-
iality existing between similar plum
aged fowls is finding fresh vertical
ton in the refusal of some of the
eastern railroads to carry supplies for
warded by benevolently disposed per-
sons for. the relief of the striking coal
miners. A few days ago it was found
necessary down in Kentucky to ap-
peal to the judge of a federal court to
enjoin the Chicago & Ohio railroad
from further delaying several cars
loaded with goods intended to relieve
the miners who are on strike in West
Virginia. The injunction was issued,
but as it applied to the particular
cars mentioned in the complaint, the
company since then has again been
holding back other supplies fer the
same persons. A motion to extend the
Injunction to all shipments has been
denied by the court and now it will
probably be necessary to make almost
daily motions for injuncticns, as there
is no prospect of the strike ending or
the subsistence of relief for the strik-
erS.

Two years ago when the same ele-
ment which is now on record as hay-
ing endorsed the candidacy Of Judge
Holloway was working in harmony
with the other faction OF the demo-
cratic party to- secure the election Of
Judge Milburn nothing was heard
from the self-appointed guardians Of
judicial purity concerning Interior and
unworthy motives. It's assistance was
gladly accepted and the men who are
now being so roundly denounced by
their erstwhile allies were held UP
to view ais the embodiment Of all that
was noble and unselfishly patriotic
and manly. Taking the word Of those
same judges of purity of the judiciary,
Judge Milburn should long ago have
proved himself unworthy Of the ex-
allied position which he honors by oc-
cupying it, but so far nothing has
been heard against that most estima-
bic gentleman, Notwithstanding that
those who are now aiding Judge Hol-
loway then aided his candidacy.

The recent decision of the Nebras-
ka supreme court in regard to the mat
ter of reading the bible or singing
hymns in public schools is likely to
cause widespread comment and dis
cussion. The court holds that it is in
violation of the constitution to do
either. The decision vas rendered on
the appeal of a man who objected to
have the bible read before his chill
dren. who attended one of the public
schools of the state. His original
suit was a prayer for an injunction.
This was refused by the district court
and he appealed, with the result men
toned. What the good people who
have long been leading a crusade to
have the bible read in the public
schools will do to overcome the vic
tory won by the atheistic gentleman
of the grasshopper state remains to
be seen.

in Session.

Denver, Oct. 15.-The quadriennial
congress of the F'raternal Union was
called to order in the Fraternal Union
building in this city this morning by
Supreme President +. T. Roose OF
Omaha. Twenty-six delegates repre-
senting $4,000 members were in at
tendance. Sessions will continue DUR
ing the remainder of the week.
The chief business of the conven-
ton is to amend the constitution.
The principal change relates to the
extension of the clause covering ben
'efts, SO that disability from disease
may be classed among the causes en-
titling members to the regular pay
ments provided by the order.
The classification of persons insur-
ed, according to their occupation may
be abolished. The order was founded
in 1886.

me courteous manner in which the
ed bOtn the democratic nominee for
congress and the gentleman who is
running on that ticket for associate
justice of the supreme court is in
marked variance with the abuse that
their newspapers have seen fit to
heap upon the republican candidates
who are opposed to them. To read
some of the articles printed in the
democratic papers concerning them
one not acquainted with them would
suppose that they were highwaymen,
outlaws and renegades. Particularly
villainous has been the treatment ac-
corded Judge Holloway. Being un-
able to say anything against his pro-
fessional capacity they have under
taken to defeat him by making as
saults on his integrity and manhood.
Because element of their own par
ty has seen fit to endorse his can
didacy he is being charged by the
other faction with having entered into
an alliance having for it's sole and
only purpose the prostitution of the
supreme court. They ccuse him of
corruption and willingness to become
the tool Of the United Copper COM
pany in case of his election.
Such charges are not only a libel
On the man against whom they are

the other gentlemen who constitute
the high and honorable body of which
he is seeking to become a member.
No other construction is to be placed
upon the charges and accusations, ex-
cept that in case of Judge Holloway's
election he would control the court
and swerye his associates from their
path ct duty and rectitude and in
veigle them into becoming parties
to his own wicked designs. This is
certainly a serious charge for demo-
cratic newspapers to make against
the court when it is considered that at
least n of the judges is a democrat

are now openly and persistently de-
claring that if Judge Holloway is

that the average voter in the county
is not engaged in the present political
contest on the lines of county bank
deposits? It matters not where the
treasurer deposits the public funds,
SO long as the county is amply secur-
ed on the deposit.
Mr.. Burla is certainly attempting to
bolster up a very weak cause when he
publicly declares that he will "divy'

FEEs ACCORDING TO MEANS.

Minneapolis Journal: Little Lo.
lita Armour of Chicago is most fortu-
nate in her parentage. Because fate
gave her such parents she is to be
cured Of a congental hip trouble,
which would have crippled and en-
barrassed her all her life had the mil.
lions Of chances against her brought
her into life in any other family.
For a fee Of $150,OOO, DR.. Adolph
Lorenz, reputed to be the worlds
greatest orthopeodic specialist, jour.
neyed clear from Vienna to Chicago
to operate on the little girl, and do
for her what nature neglected to do.
The operation was performed yester-
day and bids fair to result successful
ly.
But it appears that ]. Ogden Ar
mour spent his $15O,O00 for other lit.
tie sufferers as we'll as for his own
little girl. He was not thinking of
them, perhaps, when he sent for DR..
Lorenz, but he was spending money
for a good purpose, and like most
money SO spent it has brought good to
others as we'll as to him. Being in
Chicago, On. Lorenz purposes to oper-
ate en- eight or ten other deformed
children, without charge. Thus, in
effect, Armour's $15O,0OO is spent for
many children, instead of one.
1t is a good rule of taxation that
the burden ought to be distributed ac-
cording to ability to- pay. DR.. Lorenz
seems to have followed that rule in
his practice. He made Armour pay an
imperial fee, but he gave his services
for nothing. to others. This is not a
bad rule for doctors. If the truth
were known, it would be found that
many a specialist, if not everyone,
follows it. The fee for valuable surgi-
cal Or medical service is, we imagine,
very rarely determined altogether by
the gravity Of the a S and the true
value Of the service, or even by the
doctors reputation. Mr.. Moneybags
doubtless often pays $1,000 for what
a man of moderate means receives
for 500 and what the very poor man
gets for nothing. The state of Mime
sofa maintains a hospital, where the
children Of the poor are treated for
deformities and m~alformities, and the
able surgeons who attend these un-
f%ortunates charge nothing for their
services. But a Park avenue or Sum-
NIT avenue child would hardly receive
the same treatment for any but a
very large fee.
BY exacting large fees from those
who can afford to pay, specialists can
we'll afford to charge others little or
nothing. This isl commendable means
of equalizing taxation for medical and
surgical purposes.
