NO ~"GRAFTERs" THERE,

In addition to being entitled to the
thanks of the American people fol
the very satisfactory manner in which
they decided the vexatious questions
submitted to them, the members OF
the anthracite strike commission are
also to be credited with no little
amount of praise for the manner in
which they resisted the temptation
that men of smaller calibre could not
have overcome-to make every cent
possible out of the opportunity to get
a little easy money" that was pre-
sented. Upon the recommendation of
the president congress appropriated
$4,000 to defray the expenses of the
commission. Notwithstanding that
the work of that body extended over
a period of five months, when it SUBJ
mitted it's final statement it was
shown that approximately only $685.
600 of the appropriation had been ex-
pended. The larger part of this was
for salaries.
1t is doubtful whether ever before
such important results have follow
ed any move on the part of the ma
tional government that cost so little.
Instead of taking advantage of their
position to travel about and make all
manners of e~xtravagant display, as
they could have done, the commission
ers contented themselves with earn
est, honest application to the task be-
fore them and did their work in the
shortest possible name con-
sistent with the Importance and gray
ity of the matter they were asked to
deal with. Aside from the value of
the services rendered by them, the
gentlemen showed c%onclusively that
not everybody who may be charged
with a public duty makes it the oc-
casion of squeezing the last penny
possible from the public treasury,

THE COMPOSED q A

Minneapolis Journal: The Cubans
have Just given us another piece Of
evidence that self-governlment in Cuba
is succeeding beyond the most ex-
IRENE expectations. The action Of
the Cuban senate in ratifying the reci-
procity treaty in the face of the most
exasperating circumstances proves an
ability for self-control and the direc-
ton of national policy by judgment
instead Of passion that is as surpris-
ing as it is gratifying to Cuba's
friends.
The action of our senate in ratify-
ing the treaty in special session, only
to refer it to the lower house, which
was not in session, was calculated to
arouse Cuban resentment. 1t was one
step in the game of procratination in
which the Cuban treaty has been toss
ed about for this long time. 1t was
one more triumph for special inter-
ests.
Blu the Cubans did not ratify the
treaty until they had assurance from
President Roosevelt that the treaty
would be referred to a special ses-
sion of congress. While without that
assurance they would have been justi-
fled in rejecting the treaty, it is re-
markable that even with it they we're
able to muster a majority vote in the
Cnnnfn in 70 ynr nf TIM .frontx n NIL
dispatches from Havana say that a
message from Secretary Hay
ing that President Roosevelt would
call a special session of congress be-
fore December l to pass on the treaty
turned the day. The faith of the Gu
bans in the president remains undis-
turbed, notwithstanding their cava-
lier treatment by congress-.
There are ominous predictions from
Washington that the special session
will avail nothing, INT that the dis
cussion of the treaty will continue
into the regular session and until it
is too late for the next sugar crop to
be benefited by it. These predictions
do not alarm us. Congress will meet
and at last meekly swallow the medi-
cine the people and the president have
been so long trying to make it take.

him point out the only way in which
they believe the desired result may be
obtained. The matter has resolved
itself to its original form. II an ex.
hibit is to be. made the expense Of II
must be borne by the people of the
state as a whole, rather than a few
individuals composing it.
Viewed fairly, this is no more than
right. The results to accrue, if there
are any, will come to all. The bene-
fits expected from an advertisement
of that sort must per force of their
nature be general, hence 1t is mani.
testify only just that all should be-
come contributors to the expense OF
making 1t. The men who are SO rich
that as individuals they could we'll
stand the cost of making such a dis
play as Is desirable do not need adj
vertising of that sort. Their incomes
are assured and their fortunes may be
said to have been made. 1t is only in
proportion that all others may be ben
Gifted that they will share in the gen
eral good. Furthermore a state that
cares SO little to take part as a state
in an enterprise as the one under con-
sideration, but depends upon theoe-
forts of a few of its citizens to bear
the burden that should fall upon all
need look for only little good to come
to it as a whole. A display made at
the cost Of the generosity of q hand
full would invite criticism of an in
vidious nature, and rightfully. A
commonwealth that fails to bear a
burden that by every reason and right
should be it's own and imposes it upon
a limited number of it's citizens does
not appeal strongly to the rest of the
world. Enterprising men looking for
fields of investment will not be drawn
toward it, but will go where a differ
ent spirit obtains. ,ss
Having failed to- vote the necessary
appropriation when assembled in reg
ular session the members Of the
eighth legislative assembly should
to act on the suggestion of the
honorary commission and tender free
OF charge to the state their services
for a day. and pass an appropriation
bill. Those" passes were issued and
the only expense to the gentlemen
would be the cost of a day at a hotel.
It would be a pleasant little diversion
and a reunion that all would enjoy.
Provided, of course, the governor con-
to act on the advice Of the
commissioners.

WILL BE

Cleveland and Judge Parker and al
The other receptive candidates for the
presidency, be they democrat or re
publican. may plan and carry out al
the western tours they wish, but il
they are undertaken with the hope
and belief that they will result in at
tracing to themselves any of the
popularity enjoyed by President
Roosevelt in the transmississippi
country they might as we'll abandon
them before they are begun, for they
will only pave the way to disappoint-
ment. No man before the American
people today has the same secur hold
on the affections of the western men
and women that Roosevelt has. This
is admitted by men of all parties. The
personality of the man, his honesty
and candor in all things and his dis
'pisal of all that savors of trickery or
deceit have won the brave, frank
men of the plains and mountains and
they are true to him. No president
ever occupied the seat in the white
house who was so nearly n OF them
and one has ever o their conf
dence and esteem so completely. They
have learned to trust and believe in
him. From the first day that he be-
came the nations executive he allow
ed the people of the west to know
that they had a friend in him and that
he would guard their interests ever
las he would guard the interests of
the east. To his strong will and en-
ergy they are indebted for about all
the important legislation passed by
the last congress designed especially
for the benefit of the west. But for
his efforts it is doubtful whether
there would have been any national
aid to irrigation and the reclamation
of millions of acres of arid land would
be still as far off as ever it was.
The fact of his immense popularity
with the people of the regions that
lie in the Mississippi valley and be-
You'd is beginning to be appreciated
in the east. Whatever a~ntagonism
he may have at times aroused in the
east strengthened him in the west,
until today there are almost as many
Roosevelt democrats in the western
states as there are republicans who
acknowledge allegiance to him. This
may seem a broad statement to make,
but a little inquiry will show it to be
true. Many men who have heretofore
voted for democratic candidates will
next year vote for Roosevelt, not be-
cause they have turned republicans,
but because they admire the man and
his personality and intend to give him
their support.
Commenting on his immense popu-
larity in the west, a New York paper
of recent date says: LAS the case
stands today he (Roosevelt) could be
elected. hands down, without the aid
of New York, were this state to be
capable of the folly of refusing him
its electoral vote"

Bryan's Des Moines speech must
have caused chills of arctic frigidity
to chase themselves up ana down the
spines of the harmony" democrats.
What hopes they may have entertain
ed that the day that was to bring
peace and concord to the ranks of the
party was beginning to dawn must
have vanished and given way to des-
pair and gloom. The colonel wants
1t distinctly understood that, no mat
ter what the others may think Or
wish, he is not engaged in a hunt for
the elusive bird known as harmony,
for he declares that it is not to be
found by hunting. 1t comes only as a
reward of right doing, and is to be
felt, rather than to be talked about.
To remove whatever lingering
doubt may have encountered the,
minds of the men who believed that
he might be induced to put a pad
lock on his mouth and keep quiet long
enough to let the dove of peace find
a roosting place on the rafters of the
old democratic barn, he once more
put himself on record as being oppos-
ed, unequivocally and for all time,
to granting amnesty to the men who
refused to support HIM and what he
insists was the democratic party in
1896 and again in 1900. He wants no
harmony bought at the price OF
reconciliation with those fellows. By
their %treachery and the comfort they
gave the enemy they placed them
selves beyond the pale. Unless they
recant and confess their sins they
need not hope for dissolution from
him: Their adherence to the idol OF
a sound and stable currency, instead
Of giving worship to the diety of six
teen to one, removes them beyond all
possibility of redemption.

says it, and that is final. Rather than
yield one iota from the position he
assumed when. he endeavored to lead
the democratic hosts from the barren
desert onto which Cleveland had pill
oted them back to the feed troughs
of public Office and power, the Ne
braskan says he will gladly continue
to go down with them to defeats I'M
counted. He wants no reorganization,
he wants no realignment of forces.
In fact, he wants nothing, except
Bryan at the head and acceptance by
the others of all he advocates and
The principles he stands for
are all right and all others are wrong.
If those who persist to differ from him
expect him to surrender simply for

THE COMMISSION HALTs.


In the opinion of the gentlemen
| whom Governor Toole named as, ar
honorary commission the wrong way
has been chosen to raise the money
necessary to make a Montana seX-
hibit at the st. Louis exposition. They
met at Helent last Saturday and so
resolved. While the commission has
not been in existence a long time,
still those composing it have learned
enough to satisfy them that if re-
lance is placed on the generosity of
individuals the money needed viii
be forthcoming, much as col
lectively the people may wish to have
a proper representation made of their
resources and wealth. The proper
and about the only way to bring this
about, the commissioners believe, is
for the legislature to owen and by
law make an appropriation. To do
this as cheaply as possible they
suggest that the members of the leg
islature donate their services for the
special session of a few hours that
would be required to enact such a law.
While the action of the commits
sion will undoubtedly prove a disap-
pointment, yet it can not be said to
be remarkable Or surprising. The
amount of money needed is large,
and those whose doubt as to the beneL
fits to be derived from such an ex-
hibit is strong enough to prevent them
from becoming subscribers to a fund
OF the kind proposed to be raised is
also large enough to make them
worthy of consideration in the de-
visement of ways and means. 1t may
be said that the men in the state rich
enough to give individually almost
the full amount required without dis
commoding or inconyeniencing them
selves are many, and it may be fur
Their said that there are those who
profess to be surprised at the lack of
patriotism on the part of the rich
ones in not coming forward with
munificent subscriptions and showing
their loyalty to the state by taking
the load on their broad shoulders.
The latter class speak without think
ing. 1t is only in notable cases of
extreme need or urgency that men,
no matter how wealthy, feel called
upon to render public service to the
extent of giving largely from their
means, be they lever so rich. 1t is
not right or just to expect them to
think or feel otherwise. Their obliga-
tions as citizens require nothing of
the sort from them. Neither does
patriotism make call for such action. |
Particularly is this so when there is
an easy way to reach the end wished. |
as was the case in this instance. The
people had signified their desires to
the legislature and it was The duty OF
the latter to give heed to their wishes.
This it did not do and rather than that
they be wholly disappointed, the gov.
ernor had recourse to an expediency |
he believed would be successful. i
it seems that he was mistaken !
