SENATOR german has outlined
the issues of the Democratic party
as modern tariff reform, economy
of public administration and hon
esty of public officials. 1t may
have been unkind of the Senator to
select in every instance, the antith-
esis of Republican practices, but
he doubtless felt that his first duty
was to his party.

WANTED-h PRESIDENCY.

1t pays to advertise. This fact has been
demonstrated by the majority of men sue-
cessful in business life aud in innumerable
ways. Each individual has a variety Of
wants and all that is necessary is TO make
them known to find persons ready to satisfy
them. Is there any limitation to the pos
siblitcs in this direction. Is the presi-
denoy Of the United States TO be secured
by judicious and skiliu advertising, re
gardlcss Of everything else and all other
considerations
That is the problem which Mr.. William
K. Hearst is trying to solve. He wants to
be president, in which respect he does not
much differ from many others more dis
tinPuishcd among his fellow citizens. He
is endeavoring to secure by virtue OF the
powers Of advertisement exclusively. Aud
we are bound to applaud his sagacity in
selecting the newspapers Of the country in
preference to any and all other means Of

His work is systematic aud thorough.
Ic has special advertising agents. just as
il he were trying TO market cure for
catarrh or TO cultivate a new field for
atrocious journalism. Today wc pick up a
weekly paper from Oklahoma and hud
carefully prepared article designed to con
vince the reader that the election Of Mr..
Hearst TO the presidency, or perhaps mere
ly his nomination by the democratic party,
will serve TO relieve the people OF the
entire country Of many of the ills with
which the populist party has taught them

an Eastern paper commented on the fact

cratic committee appeared to have been
employed on the Hearst advertising staff.

the government is building up splendid
modern post which is served by the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, o. X K N.
and numerous branch lines. Historic as
socations will not stand against modern
necessities, and hence the proposed dis
appearance Of Fort Walla Walla, despite
the protest Of Senator Levi Ankeny who
is resident of the little city that lies
beside the post.
Fort Walla was name to conjurc with
in the old times. From it set out the
great number Of god-seekers, pioneers and
trail-blazers who came to Montana i'll the
early days. Ii was the Quitting point and
base Of supplies for Bannack, Virginia
City, Last Chance Gulch and other early
camps Senator w A. Clark laid a por-
ton Of his fortunes foundation in con
tracts for carrying the mails from Wala
Wala to Montana points. Away back in
the SOS, when rumors OF civil war were
yet faint and ndistinct, Capt l. ). Grant
served as post quartcrmastcr at Wala
Walla and the old quartermastcr's records
on file there bear his signature. Second
Lieutenant Phil Sheridan came to Fort
Walla Wala as a "shavc-tail" from West
Point and from there went campaigning
with Colonel Wrigh, in the march against
the palousc and Spokane and Colyile
indians in 1854. Mcclellan was there also
in the -bcllum days, and many another
officer, since famous on the batilcllelds
Of the nation, saw early service at the
post which is now crumbling into ruin.
Like Fort Benton, Wala Nala was an
outpost of civilization. That il is 10 be
abandoned is matter OF regret. but

OUR DlSlNTERESTEO MAYOR.


"My actions in the future will be the
same as they have been in the past, and
| am not afraid OF being removed from
office by any impeachment proceedings"
That is the language accredited 10 Mayor
Mullins in morning paper. There is
much more, mostly irrelevant to the
charges preferred against the head of the
city government by the report of the alder
manic investigating committee Some OF
it is interesting enough, as where the
mayor is quoted as not caring the snap
OF his finger what the action of the council
judiciary committee may be, but it is
chiefly important as additional evidence
OF the executives indifference 10 every
thing except what he appears to regard as
the official right OF the mayor to ignore
the laws enacted to regulate and direct
the conduct OF his important Office.
Fortunately for the city, Mr.. Mullins
conclusions with rSV<ct to the matter of
official lawlcssncss in Butte are not final
His ability TO nullfy the laws which re-
late to the procedure to be taken in the
case now pending has not been demon
strated. His declaration that his actions
in the future will not be changed, if true,
will mean nothing more serious than a
continuance OF official protection of vice
and crime in Butte until such time as more
scrupulous and faithful officials shall en-
force the laws for such cases made and
provided. Whether the mayor does or
does not fear removal from Office can in
no way affect the proceedings under the
law
