for one of it's departments and ap-
pointed IL o'clock for arrangement of

announced that they could not engage
a subordinate who had wasted an hour

the chairman explained that each di-
rector had wasted five minutes and
that made an hour in all.

The gentlemen having in charge
the promotion of the Flathead County
Fair association are meeting with
satisfactory treatment in their deal
ings with the public and are assured
that the association will be in shape
to have a successful exhibit and
races this fall. The proposition is
to have the first fair and race meet
ing some time during the early part
of September, but the track will be
completed and ready for use by July
4. On this date it is proposed to
have a summer meeting, not on an
elaborate scale but preparatory to
the big events of the September
meet. The grounds are convenient
ly situated and arrangements could
be made to hold the speaking and
other assembly exercises at the fair
grounds on the Fourth of July, thus
removing one of the chief obstacles
the Fourth of July committee will
find in their way. For more than {
week men and teams have been al
work on the track, ploughing and
grading and the plans for the grand
stand stables and other buildings
have already been outlined. Flat
head county is possessed of all the
stock and produce which are the
main features of a successful agri
cultural exhibit and all that j,
needed is for the farmers and stool
raisers to lend a helping hand to tn
enterprise by pledging exhibits an
subscribing to the stock of the assc
citation. They and the merchants Q

The success attendant upon the ex-
ercises held in Kalispell on Decora-
ton day, and the large crowd of
visitors from the country and sur
rounding towns and camps, when
practically no attractions were offer
ed, exploits the possibilities of a
great celebration of Independence
day in Kalispell. The business men
and citizens are all ready to move
toward a rousing celebration if only
the preliminaries are arranged. The
mayor might advance the PROPOSE
ton by calling a mass meeting of
citizens at an early date, the board
of trade having seemingly gone out
of business.

A TARIFF COM MISSION,

Congressman Fowler evidently be-
lieves in publicity. He is lombard
ing the newspapers of the nation with
copies of bill he has pending in con.
gress, and also his arguments for the
measure. The bill provides for the
appointment of a commission to take
charge of the tariff. The commission
is to consist of five members, appoint
ed for a term Of twenty years, one
member going out every four years.
It would thus take three presidential
terms to change the majority, but as
the proposed law requires the agree
ment of four of the members to make
a change in the tariff laws it would
take sixteen years to make an effective
change in the board. Whenever four
OF the members agree they can report
to the president that they give him
authority to remove or reduce any
particular duty, and he can then do
as he pleases about the matter. Thus
the matter of reducing the tariff would
be- entirely removed from congress
and placed ia the hands of the com.
mission and the president. The COM
mission can also arrange reciprocity
treaties, but these must be approved
by the senate. The house of repres-
entatives, which is elected for shorter
terms and therefore more liable to re-
spond to popular feeling, is thus en-
tirely cut off from having anything to
say about reducing the tariff, but it is
not hindered from taking a hand in
raising it. That scheme ought to find
high favor among the high protection
lists, but it is very doubtful if the peo-
pie will thus allow this important
power of the government to get into
the hands of a commission that on
popular upheaval can reach in less
than sixteen years.
The president of the commission is
to have an annual salary of $4,000,
and the members are to to have 81, 500
each. Each commissioner has carte
blanche for travelling all over the
country and for sending one it's mem
bers to any part of the world where it
has a suspicion that it can get hold OF
some fact that will throw light on the
tariff question, aud all expenses are

THE REFORM MOVEMENT.

Had the peoples party state COM
mittee had the same means-money
and volunteer speakers-that the pro-
hibition or socialist parties possessed
and expended in this state in the last
election, the result might have been
different. While the Peoples state
committee spent less than $4,000, the
prohibition party spent in the neigh
borhood of 81, 900. We do not know
how much the socialist committees
spent, but judge that it must have
been considerable. The same effort
made for a populist campaign as the
prohibitionists made would have
rolled up big vote. In these small
reform parties the members contribute
cheerfully for their propaganda, ex-
pecting nothing in return except the
feeling of duty we'll done. They not
only sacrifice money, but time and ef-
fort. That is the way the peoples
party won its first glorious growth.
And when the members of the party
are again ready to give it the same
kind of support it will grow again,
AID faster than ever because the times
is ripening for the movement. The
principles are being vindicated by the
trend of events day by day. When
reform comes, it will come from the
country. When the farmers begin to
see the necessity for organization for
their own protection and act upon it
they will establish safeguard for the
rights of the people. Such q party is
much needed balance of power at
the present time. Now is the time to
discuss what ought to be done. Our
free forum is open to all. Circulate

INHuMANIrv IN COAL REGIONS.

The coal strike investigation has
brought to light some cases of inhu-
man treatment of the miners by the
operators that are really appalling.
How they make their men work in
dangerous places or in places where
the air is so filled with gases that the
lamps frequently go out; how when
death overtakes the miner while en-
gagged in his dangerous vocation moth

Henry Coil, another Markle miner
told how his family, including his
mother in law, who was 100 years old,
were set out on the road with their
household goods. He gave graphic
description of how he was Injured
many times in the mines. He said
one of his legs was no better than a
wooden one; he had only one eye, his
hands had been crushed, ribs broken
and skull fractured. The company
gave him nothing until after the en-
ployes took up a: collection for him.
Then he was given $50 after being on
the injured list for two years. The
company took out of the cOllection.the

istatement u literal ts'u the whole
truth and nothing but the truth Is Il
reasonable or likelyp Granting that
the men who enlist as soldiers in the
regular army are apt to be on q lower
scale morally than the general run OF
men, it is very harsh criticism to them
to say that the canteen is necessary to
maintain their moral standing. In
order to furnish an argument in favor
of the canteen Gen. Sanger of the
Philippines makes the statement that
practically all the soldiers drank in
toxicating liquors at the time of their
enlistment. We quote from the re-
port:
"To the fear, so often expressed by
the opponents of the canteen system,
that the sale of beer would initiate
or induce habits of intern perance, Gen.
Sanger showed from careful census
of the 342 companies of troops in che
Philippine Islands that in 60 compan-
les every enlisted man used vinOus,
malt or spirituous liquors at date OF
enlistment; in 1903 companies between
90 and 100 per cent; in So companies
between so and 80 per cent; in 20 COM
panies between go and 70 per cent.
Unfortunately quite number of men
habitually drank to excess, and as
this number will probably increase if
the men are obliged, as now, to resort
to native liquors in order to satisfy
what to macy of them is perfectly
natural craving, the result will be
most deplorable.
Gen. Sanger concludes with the re-
mark: ut is hardly probable, in
view of this condition, that congress
will continue the prohibition against
the canteen, when it is certain the sale
of liquors would obviate the PERM
cious habit of drinking outside the
post"
Conditions must be exasperatingly
bad when Uncle Sam is obliged to
dispense whiskey and beer to his SOL
diers in order to be able to mainta n
discipline. If that is good argument
why do not the railroad companies,
for instance, maintain exchanges 80
that their employees may have pure
liquors? They have on contrary
found that discipline cannot be en-
forced when drinking is tolerated at
all. The same argument advanced by
Gen. Sanger if applied to the home
should convince parents that the best
way to promote morality and temper.
ate habits among the children would
be to keep a good supply of liquor at
the home so that the young man would
not have to patronize the blind pig to
secure the same. What sane father
CT mother would think of doing such
q thing? There is something radical

II OAseQ upOnSS Ot0ee grounds which
may now be examined.
q It is said that III order to change
any schedule or any part of any sched-
ule, the whole tariff must be taken IN
and revised, the work of years dis
carded, aud a new law substituted. I
deny the proposition.
The argument most frequently heard
against touching the tariff in any par
ticular and against the agitation OF
the subject, usually begins with this
statement, that the people of the
United States are, is an unexampled
degree, prosperous. All this believe
to be true; and he is an enemy of man
kind who consciously or Intentionally
proposes a change of q single line or
letter of the laws that would destroy
or impair the prosperity which now
exists. After announcing the premise.
