SHORT But TO The POINT.

One of the best speeches and prob
ably the shortest made during the
last term of congress was that of Joe
Cannon of Illinois. IL was delivered
during the closing hours in the house
and in reply to Congressman Richard.
son of Tennessee the Democratic
floor leader, who had RECALLED the
house with a set speech. Mr.. Cannon
said:
I'VE are not perfect and we do not
claim to be. We pull the wagon and
we do the work and you find the
fault. You have been at ii now for
over a generation and still we have

scold. We cannot help It. It does
you good, and | do not think ii hurts
us. Great God! Think of 1t! You hal

came into power partially. from time,
to time, but then you had full power.

you not wish you could blot out the
recollection of the manner in which
you exercised it? And for gall and
cheek, with that recent performance,

cannot perfect-meeting every obli-
cation, the country prospecting, passed.

through the war with justice, solving
the questions that grew out of the

Notwithstanding the criticism and the

of the world. Go on; | do not think

Henry Peterson. a farmer residing a

The ANIMAL BOUNTY LAW.

The destruction of 10000 wolves and
coyotes during the past year, entail
ing a cost Of $150.00O, is regarded
with some alarm at the state capitol,
particularly as the annual revenue
realized for that purpose is about
$4,000.
Inasmuch as stockmen and farmers
bear the burden ct expense in x
terminating stock.destroying animals
they should be the first to complain.
Under the old law 1t was thought that
the bounty wasn't sufficient to stimu-
late or encourage a destructive cru
SADIE. so the amount was increased
from $500 on coyotes and the same
on wolf pups to $500 straight on both
animals. the former price being $500
IN grown wolves, as now.
Evidently the increased bounty has
had the desired effect, judging from
the number of scalps offered. But
Just here is where the alarm comes
in. There is suspicion that gross
frauds have been practiced. but little
II any evidence has been produced to
prove that such is the case. II it Is
true that the scalps of animals have
been brought in from other states or
that some individuals are breeding
coyotes and wolves as an industry
then there is cause for alarm. The
law should be amended in some of its
features and greater effort made to
detect fraud and bring offenders to
justice.
If, on the other hand. the work OF
destruction has been carried IN le-
Ultimately the result should give uni
yersal satisfaction. for what IA de-
sired Is certainly being accomplished
and we doubt ii the number for the
current year would equal that of the
past owing to the lessening OF the
number. In the older states as such
animals grow less in number the
bounty is increased and Montana will
have to pursue that course to get rid
of the pests. though 1t must be ad.
mitted that the bounty is high enough
for the present.
The loss that 10000 wolves would
have wrought upon the stock interests
of the state is best known to those
who are familiar with and have suf.
fered by their depredations.
There must be sufficient inducement
offered to keep men on the trail. To
stop now would mean a loss Of the
ground gained. The law should be
hedged about so as to prevent fraud.
Certificates should De issued only to
those who do the killing and strong
proof of the fact must also be re-
quired.
The matter will doubtless receive
the attention OF the next legislature
and whatever IL done we don't be.
lieve the law will be rendered value
less

with "~militarism," which has gone In.

city, which he frankly c~onfesses ia

inhabited by better people than any
other city he visited in his entire trip
which is Butte. Major Maginnis

years, and recently a citizen of the

He believes in unfolding American

Thirty thousand wolves and coy
