CHARACTER--DEFAMINC!

Two weeks ago there appeared on
the first page of this paper an article
from the pen of Vernie Beeman con-
corning the republican caucus that
stirred up the monkeys locally. 1t was
written in bur1esque style and every
sane man in Rosebud county except the
management of the opposition paper
understood it in that light. No sane
man believes that J. c. Aud actually
drank kerosene from a pail, or that
Jas. Kennedy was foolish enough to
want a bridge across the Yellowstone
In return for his support this fall.
There is world of difference between
roasts of this type and actual charac-
ter-defaming. 1t will be in order next
week for the opposition paper to wager
one hunderd dollars that J. c. Aud
did not take kerosene internally into
his system, or that James Kennedy did
not demand a bridge for his vote.
A wider field however would be to
wager 500 that the writings of Bill
Nye, Josh Billings, Artemus Ward,
Baron Munchausen and Jules Verne
are untruthful.

is also the call for the primaries to be

conventions.

DAN'L WEBSTER'S PROPHEsY.

DAN'L WEBSTER'S PROPHESY.
Daniel Webster once declared that it
was ''the part of political wisdom to
found government on property and to
establish such distribution of property,
by the laws which regulate it's trans
mission and alienation as to interest
the great majority of society in the
support of government.
With all his wisdom Webster did
not-cou!d not-forsee that wealth
might be concentrated in the hands of
few despite the wisest laws respect
ing its transmission and alienation. "
The following quotation is from his
famous speech delivered in 1920, the
second anniversary of the landing of
the Pilgrim Fathers.
Improved machinery had not then
crushed out the independent artisan;
labor had not then become the helpless
bondslave of capitalize creator still
stood erect in the presence of the, crea-
ture. Class legislation and Doodle
bribing 1obbles were practically un-
known, and men were equal before the
law. Vast railway corporations oper-
ating parallel lines did not then exist
to control legislation and merging
themselves together, break it off into
the producer and shipper to eastern
markets, where the bottle got the cork.
Quite naturally Webster cast his eye
along the vistas of European history
seeking to gather from the mistakes of
the past lessons for the future. Quite
naturally he imagined that the abolition
of the baneful law of primogenture and
the equal division of inheritances
among heirs would assure something
like an equality of wealth. proportion
ate to commercial talent. While he did
not see the rocks in the path of the new
Republic he realized full we'll that
nation could not long endure if it's in
habitants were divided into two classes
the very rich and the very poor. This
additional extract from the speech al
ready quoted, will be read by thought
full men of Montana today with interest.
'The freest government if it could
exist would not be long acceptable, if
the tendency of the laws were to create
rapid accumulation of property in a
few hands and render the great mass
of the people dependent. In such a
case the popular power would be likely
to break in upon the rights of property,
or else the influence of property to limit
and control the exercise of popular
power. Universal suffrage for example
could not long exist in community
where there is great irregularity Of pro-
perty. The holders of estates would
be obliged in such case in some way to

THE RECORDS IMBECILlTY.

If there is mule in the state of Mon

insipid idocy the article "To the

Listen to the twadd1e. elm 1896 under

soning thinking men feel like hunting
up the author and picking up good
! sized, able-bodied, adult fence picket,
slap it across his main entrance with
sufficient force to cave in his whole
countenance.
The Records idiotic ink singers do
not mention the fact, that there have
been famines in India that have taken
large portion of our crops, that the
war in the Philippines and in South
Africa has opened new markets and
stimulated prices to a large degree.
No mention is made of the fact, that by
the natural growth of our country, hum
dreds of thousands of acres both out
side and inside the arid districts which
irrigation has brought to the front,
have been put into cultivation which
heretofore were idle. The whole seven
hundred million is an increase due
totally to wise republican rule. Ac-
tually the Record owes an apology to
every citizen of Montana for insulting
them with such rot with the belief that
they will swallow it, hook, bait, line
and all.
Yet the above is only sample of the
slime which the Record will spew upon
the people in this campaign. Give il

restrain the right of suffrage or else
such right of suffrage would before
long, divide the property. In the ma
ture of things, those who have not pro-
perty, and see their neighbors possess
much more than they think them to
need, cannot be favorable to laws made
for the protection of property. When
this class becomes numerous it grows
clamorous. 1t looks on property as it's
prey and plumber and is naturally
ready at all times for violence and
revolution
Had Daniel Webster lived about
eighty years later and moving into,
Montana made that speech he would in
all probability have had the pleasure of
seeing himself denounced in the COL
umns of the Helena Record, the Butte.

tons which he solemnly declared could
not long exist in conjunction with uni
versal suffrage, prevail today, and
that to an extent such as he could
scarce have dreamed of, while the
bloody labor riots in the cities of the
east and the mining regions of Penn
sylvania especially, the wholesale
destruction of property by the proIe-
talre, the assassination of President
Mckinley, the frequent attempts upon
the lives of millionaires, the spirit of
reputation rife among debtors and the
general unrest-not to say desperation
that is taking possession of the people
proclaim how accurately Webster rea-
SO med from cause to effects. If it be
true that revolutions never go backward
there are thousands of Montana's chill
dren in their teens that will live to see
more equitable division of wealth in
this country or else witness a monarch
enthroned in the chair at Washington.
We who toll with hand or brain and
hoard our wage against the proverbial

but wiz ether of glorious morn or CHM

''The old order changeth; yield

And God fultills himself in many

We know that here we cannot lineer

that as a people we cannot and will
not remain both political sovereigns
and industrial slaves. We know that
we must rule the wealth we have crea-

His Very Strange VIII.

Peter Isaac Thellusson, Genevese
merchant who had grown rich in Lon
don, left one of the most extraordinary
wills ever made and which necessi-
tated law proceedings, ending In the
House Of Lords.
This afiluent trader left 100000 to
his widow and the remainder of his
property-namely. f6OO,000-he left to
trustees to accumulate during the lives
of his three sons. and the lives of their
sons; then the estates that were pur-
chased with the produce of the accu-
INFLATED funds were to be conveyed to
the eldest lineal male descendant Of
his three sons. He also made the pro-
viso that should no heir exist the whole
amount was to be applied to the re-
duction Of the national debt. The viii
was contested by the heirs law, but
finally established by the House Of
Lords
On the death of the last surviving
grandson a dispute arose as to whether
the eldest male descendant or the male
descendant of the eldest son should in
herit the property. The latter won.
but the legal expenses of the case were
SO heavy that almost all the original
100000 was swamped. After this
trial the government passed a law pro-
hlblting any one to leave property for
the purpose of accumulation for Pc
riod of more than twenty-o one years
after death.

CANADA'S WINTER PORT.
Harbor of st. John Has Not Been Frozen
Over In Mans Memory.

The most important feature OF the
recent commercial history OF ST. John
is its claim TO the title OF being the
winter port OF Canada" Its ambl-
tlon to secure this name Is not of re-
cent origin 1t has been hoping and
planning for 1t for half century Some

fore the British provinces were united

fore either of the great railroads. the
Intercolonial or the Canadian Pacific.
has been constructed TO bring the wide
ly-separated provinces into communi-
cation with each other this prediction
was made concerning the future of the
city: Looking at its position with re-
gard to lower Canada, st. John must
yet become the winter pert of the coun-
try. If its people will work for 1t, In
few years 1t will be certain to rise to Il
position where 1t will be known as the
Liverpool of America
The first prediction of this prochet
was u long time In coming true, but st.
John did finally become winter port.
There Is no way OF telling whether 1t
will ever be the Liverpool of Amer
lea" or, II II really is going TO put the
other Atlantic ports out of business,
lust how many more years they will
be permitted to flourish. 1t Is proba-
bly, a question that the present gener-
alton will not have to bother itself
about.
For a great many years st. Johns
claim to Importance was not taken
very seriously by any one but her own
citizens, but they were certain that Its
location was such as to eventually
make II a great ocean port. The con-
federation of the provinces took place
Then the Intercolonial Railroad was
built. After that came the construc-

terminus. Then the prophets said. 81
