EX-SPEAkER REED.

With the death of ex-Speaker Reed
America loses one of her unique
characters. Probably no other Amer
lean ever eXerted a more potent in
fluence over national legislation than
did Mr.. Reed during the last eight
years of his service in congress. AS
speaker of the house he formulated
and enforced the rules which bear
his name and which gave him the
title of czar. Mr.. Reed was the sub
ject of much criticism at the time,
but with the lapse of years his rules
have come to be looked upon as a
necessity, in order that the house
may be master of it's own acts and
not be at the mercy of the minority
Mr. Reed was not a good mixer nor
popular with his associates. Men
followed him because of his strength
of character and good judgment
rather than because of any magnet
ism or personal popularity. Always
uncompromising he was often called
arbitrary, and had he been more
willing to cater to his party asso-
ciates he might easily have secured
the presidency but, in his own
words, he Never trimmed a sail to
catch passing breeze or ever flew
a doubtful flag"
After % years of public service,
Mr.. Reed resigned his position as
speaker of the house, because in all
probability he saw that public life
could give him no higher reward and
because he desired to devote his re-
naming years to securing a compe-
tency for himself and family. With
the passing of years, Mr.. Reed will
take high rank in American history,
and his fame will be lasting, for it
rests upon his fearless honesty and
his purpose to do right regardless of
the effect upon his personal fortunes.

in this protection, you haven't time
to hunt, don't care to. Let the
game take care of itself. For this
reason the game warden has Difficult
ty in making convictions, the com
mon people who know raids are be-
ing made on this game keep it to
themselves. A statute prohibiting the
disposal of lawfully acquired personal
property is not good law, even if it
does meet with the approval of the
"sportsmen's" clubs. Sufficient and
adequate protection was found in the
old law, which limited the season
for hunting and established the hook
and line as the only legal way of
catching trout, made attractions mis-
demeanors and left it all with the
sheriff, as other offenses. The work
ing people have vested rights as well
as the rich sportsmen.

Whether or not Zewadke, the man
convicted of killing Otto Theirsch over
land quarrel last spring fired the
first shot, the punishment meted out
to him by the jury, conviction of
manslaughter, was deserved. Six
shooter titles to land do not go in this
country any more, and had the other
man been the survivor his just de-
serts would have been the same con-
viction. Gehler was evidently not
a participant in the affair, other
than sort of body guard to take
care of the other man, but it would
not have been a miscarriage of JUS
tice had he also been punished to
some extent. All four of these men,
the dead one and the three living,
were out looking for a fight that
peaceful June morning, and it was
only one mans luck against anoth-
er's that there was only one dead
carried from the field. The lesson is
a severe one and sternly notifies all
murderers at heart that in this coun-
ty such acts cannot fail of due pun
iShment.

FIRE PROTECTION.

Probably satisfactory advance to-
ward insuring better protection to
the outlying districts of the city will
be derived from the new code of sig
nails. Extension of the water mains
to embrace additions west of the high
school would be a further move of
benefit, and with fire alarm boxes
every block or two, and men always
on duty at the fire hall, there would
be less danger of Iire getting such
Roadway as is now possible. One of
the great inconvenience has been

TOO MUCH PROTECTION.

AS usual, the legislature will be
importuned to make some new game
laws and various changes in the
L ethod of protection have already
been advanced in the interest of the
sportsmen of Butte, Helena and
Great Falls. They want more game
wardens more sleeves for the head of
bitches, and more game for the ollie
tantes to destroy with the aid of a
professional hunter. 1t is respectful
ly submitted by the 80 per cent of
Montanians who are not rich sports
men, able to take a run to the moun-
tains during the season, that this
state should not be cultivated as
game preserve for the qualification
Of the illustrious sons of millionaire
fathers. There is already too much
protection in their behalf. Speaking
for the common people of Flathead
county the best game county of the
state, the so-called protection which
now ties numberless bands of red
tape about every deer, grouse or
trout taken in this section is becom-
ing onerous. The sportsmen can
come over here and corral a pot
with the help of the before men
toned professionally and take them
back to the cities and rejoice the
hearts of their friends because they
have the price. Right here at home
the community is suffering for a
haunch of venison, a brace of
grouse or a dozen of trout. because
not one in twenty has the leizure, OPP
portunity or money to go out on
such trips and cannot buy the small
portion they may want because of
the rich mans law which, while legal
izing the taking of game during GER
tain seasons, makes it misde-
meanor for the hunter to dispose of
the proceeds of the chase for a
money consideration. 1t is not a lust

the uncertainty of the location Of the
fire. after the alarm has been trans
mitted. One time last spring the
boys hauled their hose carts and
ladders four blocks in the wrong di-
rection before the error was dis
covered. An electric system for the
alarms is absolutely necessary now
that the city is spreading out so ex-
tensively. The cost is considerable
for such a system, but the salvage
at one fire would almost pay for it.
If the council decides upon employ
ing two paid men, as suggested by
Chief Kerr, and get team of horses
to haul the new engine, in a short
time the efficiency of the department
would be doubled. But it should not
be lost sight of that the extension of
the water mains would also be of
great service.

WANT BETTER FIRE SERVICE.
Residents of Unprotected Parts of the
City Ask for improvements.

City ASK for improvements.
The fire on the west side Sunday
morning that completely destroyed
the residence of J. H. Gilbert, with
all it's contents, has renewed the agi-
tation of the citizens there for fire
protection This fire revealed the
state of utter helplessness of the
residents of that part of the city and
the inability of the fire department
to render aid in cases of fire in chat
vicinity 1t also showed the desirable
ity of a fire alarm system by which
the department can be quickly mott
fed of the whereabouts of a fire. For
instance, at the last fire. when the
flames were first discovered, it was
necessary for man to run a distance
of over nine blocks to reach the fire
station to ring the bell and summon
the fire department. Then the long
run the fire fighters had to make
took up much of the time dragging
their heavy apparatus. By the time
they reached the scene of the fire
the flames had the house completely
quilted and it was impossible to gam
an entrance to save a stick of the
furniture.
If fire alarm system was in vogue
all that would be necessary was for
the discoverer of the fire to run to
the nearest alarm box and press the
button, causing the gong in the fire
station to ring, giving the number
of the district in which the fire origi-
mated.
The question of adding the fire
alarm system, as we'll as the purchase
of combined chemical and hose en-
CINE with team of horses, will come
up for disposal at the next meeting
of the city council, and if the sentf-
ment of citizens generally is to carry
weight, and especially those living on
the west side, as we'll as other parts
of the city where the conditions are
the same, the improvements will be
made regardless of the slight in
crease levied upon the taxpayers.
