coNFEssEs TO MURDER CON-
MITrED AT BUTTE.
SENT TO PRISON
Haunted by Conscience Scranton Man
Makes Confession to One He
/. sWronged.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. S.-Twenty
years after Thomas Hanley and Luke
Kelly were sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for nine years for a crime they
did not commit, one of the men who
actually were guilty has confessed.
He is b. w. Tonery CT Scranton.
and he walked IS miles to this city
today to ease his conscience. He
found Hanley, confessed and begged
his forgiveness.
Kelly is now in Butte, Mont. Ton
cry says that he and a man named
Patrick Clark committed the crime.
They needed money, he says, and held
up<a man named Rosecrantz.
Clark's pistol, which had a hair
trigger, went OFF, the bullet entering
Rcsecrantz's head. They got $28 and
escaped,
Il was Sc. mad at the shooting"
said Tonery, ''thatsI felt like shooting
Clark. He was frightened and went
away and | never saw him again. For
many years it did not worry me- much
that other men were convicted. but
of late it has preyed upon my mind.
l never knew Mr.. Hanley, but l felt
ii was my duty to find him. Thank
God, my mind is now free"
The two, came to the office of Dis
trict Attorney Jones and made the
statement.
Nothing will be done by the author
titles or by Hanley.

is o THROUGH.

Although the conference he called
at the white house was not resultant
of the things he hoped for, those who
know President Roosevelt and have
kept their eyes on him since he be-
came the nations head are satisfied
that he has not yet given up. Once
having put his hand to the rudder he
will not cease his efforts until some
thing tangible and real shall have
been accomplished. Having done all
he could in his capacity as a private
citizen he may be relied upon to do
something in his capacity as the chief
executive of the nation.
By their refusal to accept his good
offices and make concessions to the
extent of making possible a settle
ment of the difficulty existing between
themselves and their employees, the
coal mine presidents have strengthen
ed the hands of the president in a
direction he has been seeking ever
since he assumed the position he now
occupies. Their conduct from the
first day of the strike until the pres
ent has but emphasized the wisdom
of the presidents arguments in favor
of some measure by which the general
government shall have supervision Of
what are commonly designated as
trusts and corporations of all kinds
engaged in interstate commerce and
upon which a large proportion of the
nations population is dependent for
the nec~essaries of life.
Trust legislation is coming, and
coming fast. If the necessity there
for has never been apparent it is GER
tainly apparent now and the men who
insulted the president when he ask
ed them as patriotic citizens and hon.
orable men to do something to end the
unnatural conditions o prevailing
in a large part of the country will
probably wish they had been more
reasonable at a time when it would
have been policy for them to have
acted with reason. Though he may
not now possess the power to compel
them to act humanely and honestly,
that power will not be withheld much
longer.

CONVICT THEMSELVES.

One of the prominent democratic
newspapers of the state is affOrding
an excellent example of the i%nconsist-
ency for which the party it repre-
sents has been always famous. After
seriously proclaiming that the repub-
lican party has never done anything
in the least contributive to the pros
perity of Montana, it keeps up al in
cessant clamor against the president
for daring to advocate reciprocity
with any foreign nation. By advocat-
ing this policy, it asserts, the presi-
dent is aiming a elbow" at the waol
industry CT the state by working for
the removal of the protective tariff on
that product, forgetsul of it's asser-
lions of republican. r%ecreancy to the
welfare of the state.
If the tariff, a republican measure,
has not proved of benefit to the woof-
growers of the state, why then should
there be any opposition to it's remov-
al? and above all from a democratic
source? Protest against any change
in the schedule as it pertains to wool
must be accepted as proof conclusive
of the beneficence of the tariff. Con-
s%equently it is but carrying the argu-
ment to its logical conclusion by as
sorting that the republican party has
added to the prosperity of the state
in this respect, if in no, other. Then
! there are several other products OF

Although he recommends the Kan
sas City platform as a pretty fair
remedy, Colonel Bryan's advice to the
democrats on the question seemingly
is that they continue to adhere to
the old position of critics and fault
finders and allow the republican par
ty to wrestle with the trust and mod
ifcation of the tariff as a cure for the
evil. He intimates that it is a much
easier place and one from which moth
ing is expected and consequently has
the utmost confidence in the party's
ability to fill it.

| the state to which the tariff applies
and by reason Of the protection It af
fords them contributes materially to
the prosperity of Montana by enabling
those engaged in their production to
pay a higher rate of wages to their
employees than they could were it
not for this protection, But, then,
the matter Of wages probably does
not enter into democratic editorial
computations of degrees of prosper.
ity and as they see things times
would be equally as good with a1pecn
scale of pay for laboring men as I'M
der the present high one.
Those who may be inclined to &C.
cept as true the democratic assertion
that "the republican party is to lie
credited with nc legislation that has
contributed to the prosperity Of Mon
tana" should not forget the fact that
both Senators Clark and Gibson, fair
ly good democrats, admit that the pro
,ductive tariff has proved Of benefit
to the people Of Montana because of
the increased value it has given wool
and livestock generally throughout
the state. 1t should also not be for
gotten that they and their party, as
expressed by the platform of the state
democracy, are in favor OF retaining
the present protective tariff On the
raw products of the state and have
pledged themselves to its mainten-
ance.
Only for political reasons do the
democratic organs refuse to acknowl-
edge the beneficent effects the .repub-
lican tariff Of protection have exert
ed on every article produced in the
state. The fact that they are opposing
what they affect to believe is an effort
to change the tariff in this regard is
evidence of their insincerity when
they allege that nothing has been
done in the way of republican legis-
lation that has added to the prosper
ity of the state. N,
