WOOL AND POLITICS,

During three years of the Wilson
German Democratic free wool legis-
lation there we're imported into the
United States nearly 800, 900, 900 lbs.
of foreign wool. This made an &C.
emulation of stocks in this country
and w have not yet got entirely rid
of them.
Notwithstanding this handicap of
foreign raw material the Dingley tar
if has been the means of giving our
wool growers the largest markets and
the best prices they have ever had
for their product. the effect of the
working of this Republican policy
with respect to wool was clearly dem.
onstrated in Montana this year when
our wool growers practically had the
market in their own hands and receiv-
ed the highest prices ever paid for
raw wool in this part of the country
"A price that was about double that
received under the Wilson-G orman
regime. That was a period when the
foreign wool men had possession of
American markets.
All this has been an object lesson
that Montana woolgrowers. together
with the woolgrowers of the United
States. will not soon forget. They
will vote the Republican ticket this
fall, particularly IN Montana, almost
to a man.-Inter -Mountain.

state in order that he might use 1t to
promote his personal ambition and
the ~pecuniary interests Of the United
Copper Company. of which he is the
head. F. Augustus Heinze on July 4th,

The natal day had nothing to do with
this declaration. Champaign. rather

doubtless had matured and well laid

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
AT the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while il
can be checked.

So Faug. Heinze, the adventurer,
is out to capture the supreme court
of Montana at all hazards. 1t re-
mains . be seen whether the voters
OF this state have so little regard for
their liberties and the purity Of the
judiciary that they will aid and abet
such ~rascality. II Montana did not
have the name OF being a ''rotten
borough" no man would dream of con
trolling our supreme court. Heinze
should be sat upon hard.

A few days ago Henry Watterson
announced that he could not accept
the governorship of Kentucky owing
to his conscientious scruples-he was
an honest man. Now his son, Henry
Watterson. Jr.. first lieutenant In the

escape court-martial for duplicating
his pay accounts for three months
Having reimbursed the government

Faug. Heinze, although a Democrat
of sixty days standing, gives promise
of being the whole thing" as a ma
nipulator. in a short time. He al
ready controls half of the members
of the Democratic central committee
including Ibis friend, Governor
Toole." The Democracy of Montana
is always in the market. to be sold
out to the highest bidder.

Tom Johnson is the new Democrat
ic dictator in Ohio politics. He has
ambition to be president of the Unit
ed States and II would not be surpris-
ing to see him become the leader Of
the national Democracy in 1904. He
is a man of some ability but a good
deal of a demagogue. He would lose
a good many votes among conserva-
tive Democrats.

The workmen of the country want
the president to make good his pro-
LESSONS of friendship to organized
labor by interfering in the Pennsyl-
vania coal strike and the president
does not dare heed their appeals
Democrat. Something like the above
was expected. II is the demagogue's
chance. Every fair nan knows that
the president cannot take direct ac-
ton. If he could. the coal strike
would quickly be brought to an end.
His fiat would have no more effect
upon the strike than it would upon
the eruptions of Mont Pelee, and to
make an attempt without power
would subject him to the charge of
playing politics." The fact is these
giant corporations exercise too much
power and laws must be enacted to
curb them and place them under fed
eral control. President Roosevelt is
cognizant of the injury being done
and the dangers that threaten the
future and has declared II as his pur.
pose to recommend legislation for
their regulation, and no one will &C.
cuse the president of insincerity of
motive or action. II is to be hoped
that If the legislature of P~ennsylvan-
la has the power it will be speedily
called in extra session and pass laws
that will compel the coal barons to
arbitrate. Enact a compulsory arbi-
tration law II necessary.

by the recognized leaders of the
party, but on the other hand with well
grounded suspicion. They knew he
wanted something, and 1t was not the
promotion of the principles of the
party for the public good. Suspic-
ion gave way to alarm and secret
forces were put to work to check his
cunning, but Mr.. Heinze was alert
and when the state committee met
in Helena 1t vas revealed that he,
by the aid of his friend, Governor
Toole," was able to control half of
the committeemen-or make an even
break. In sixty days time as a DEM
ocrat Heinze had become as powerful
in the councils of the party as W. A.
Clark-"or any other man."
What does it mean? Is the Democ-
racy of Montana the cheapest kind
of merchandise. always for sale?
Why is it that this party, which is
always decrying trusts and corpora
tons, is always ready to surrender
to the Establishments or influence
of their representatives? There is
nothing attractive in the personality
of Mr.. Heinze; what he stands for
should repel every man of honor who
seeks the welfare of the state. He
represents a New Jersey corporation
capitalized at $4,000, 900 and doing
business" in Montana.
MI. Heinze gives it out cold that
he expects to control the next legis-
lature, and in that event he will have
a bill passed creating two more jus.
tees of the supreme court who will
occupy seats through appointment by
his friend, the Governor" In two
years this company could be given
the dead immortal cinch" so far as
litigation goes, after that what would
Mr.. Heinze care whether Montana has
three justices or a dozen? The state
doesn't need any more at present
| Supreme court business is behind in
most of the states of the union.
1t is strange that Governor Toole
would lend himself to such base pur
poses and 1t will be stranger still II
the Democracy of this state does moi
repudiate him and his newly found
friend. 1t would II it had any NOR
al stamina. But when F. Augustus
Heinze can control 13 out of 26 com
mitteemen without serving any proba
tionary period in the party the out
look is OMNIBUS. There ought to BE-
enough decent Democrats in Montans
to turn Mr. Hoinze down in the stare
convention. where the fight will b.
carried. The outcome will be watch

There are thousands of people in thi.

Is Fact in SistersviIIe Today. The Gentlemen
Have Positively Decided to Build the Road
FROM SDTERsvILLE TO MlDDLEBOURNE
Once No Delays on the Work. Road Will be Completed in
Six Months if Weather Permits.

We are more than pleased to an
nounce to our readers that the long
talked of, the much cussed and dis
cussed Electric railroad from Sis
tersviile to Middlebourne Is to be
built at last. Yesterday Mr.. Miller
and a civil engineer went over the
route and made careful estimate
of the route. The company will
follow the Macadam turnpike as
far out as the iron bridge across the
Pursley creek, leaving the pike
only for turnout switches and to
cut off sharp bends In the road.
From the iron bridge the line will
90 up the run, over the Evans
farm, down Engle's run and on
into Middlebourne which will make
the road less than nine miles long
and very easily constructed. Mr..
Miller and his engineer came into
the city late last night from the
trip and more than pleased with
the prospects of building the road.
Mr.. Miller says nothing that he
can imagine will prevent them
from building the road. He says
the Tyler Railroad company can
have everything they want In the
way of positive assurance his com
pany will build the road, for that
IS exactly what they intend on do
Ing. He further says work on the
road will begin at once and COM
pleted as rapidly as possible. II
this Is done inside of the next six
months at the farthest the road will
be In running order If the weather
Is not too bad this winter. Some
farms will be touched here and
theie and we hope all land owners
will promptly sign the rights OF
way. 1t will make every farm the
road goes through worth great
deal more money than 1t would
bring now. Every farmer can well
afford to give the right of way or
anything else the company will ask
for. Land on Pursley and along
this road will be worth 500 an
acre inside of the next five years
af,er the road is built. We are
more than pleased with the recep
ton which is being given by our
people here and at Middlebourne.
Every man woman and the child
rem even ere ready, willing and
anxious to do everything In their
power to get the road. Mr.. Miller
is more than pleased with the re-
ception the people have given to
him and we hope the encouraging
work and words will be continued.
This road means so much tor our
people throughout the county. Its
the beginning of a railroad system
that will In time extend from one
end of the county to the other.
Men are at work on the road today
and will continue to work until 1t Is
completed There Is considerable
preliminary work to do but 1t is be
ing pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. On to Middlebourne,
&C ar reiohbors crv. Is all right,
but It's on to Middlebourne via
Sistersville. If those Five" com
panies the Martinsville liar talks
about want to build a road to MID
dlebourne, all we'll and good Not
a man in this city will say aught
against 1t.
