The Times Not Out Of Joint.


Saturday Evening Post.
If American history were truthfully
written and conscientiously taught,
we should hear less ignorant lament
ing over the degeneracy Of the present
and the dreadful outlook for the fu-
ture. The melancholy but cheering
truth is that our ancestors, with all
their good points, had many failings.
Lynching, tar and feathering, dis
heartening miscarriages of justice, un-
worthy public conduct of all kinds,
were painfully near to characteristic
of us in all our past.
The journey to the lofty goal Of self.
government and profound rev erence
for ones neishbor's rights is long and
steep and full of dips and twists. Bu;
we are headed in the right direction
and eighty millions strong. we march
more rapidly than we did when we
were but two or three million "revolu.
tiOnary heroes.

ALDER MANIC TYRANNY.

The reform wave that has been
sweeping over various parts of the
country has struck the town Of Dillon,
and many things which the great and
good aldermen Of that city were in =
clined to regard as a necessary evil
have been prohibited by ordinance.
One Of the reforms contemplated by
the municipal authorities Of Dillon is
the subject OF these remarks by the
Butte Inter- Mountains:

American citizen, the city council of
Dillon has passed an ordinance pro.

council is it that would attempt to dc
this revolutionary thing: Is the town
loafer to be compelled to remove his
picturesque figure from the land sea pc:
Is the precinct politician to have tax
en- from him that cherished privilege
of holding conferences on the spot re
served to him by ancient tradition,
Is the "kuocker' to be compelled tl
find another rOstrum from which t(

Alleged to Have Had a Scheme TO Vic
timize Wealthy Cattleman.

HELENA, Oct. 13.-Fred Mason, al
legged to be one of the slnoo:hest men
OF his kind who has been in these quar-.
ters for some time, was arrested Satur.
day by Police Sergeant Hays on the
charge Of forgery, alleged to have

Sheriff James Barden, of Powell coun.
ty. n. Bielenberg, one of the most
prominent cattlemen in Montana, is
said to have had narrow escape
from being swindled by Mason for a
large sum. It is said that he is al
ready out 5000 as result of the deal.
After Nason's arrest investig alton
revealed that he was attempting opera
tions on large scale in Helena. He
had interested Mr.. Bielen berg in a

THE FIRST AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

AS sort of preface to the St. Louis
Purchase exposition, many interesting
chapters relating to early American
history are finding writer's and read
the first republic in America; few liv.
ing Americans there are who ever
heard of it. Our own republic is, of
course, the first one on this hemis-
phere that succeeded. The little re.
public that is just now getting notice
was an interesting venture.
1t was the republic of Louisiana: it
lived ard died before the fathers of
our colntry concluded to take up arms
against England. This is summary
Of its history:
In 1864 France ceded Louisiana to
Spain. The dwellers in Louisiana re-
fused to be ceded with their consent
not having first been sought. Under
the leadership of Louis Chauvin de
Lafreniere revolt was started.
A convention Of the people of New
Orleans was called at the time when
the new Spanish governor was on his
way to the colony. This convention
selected delegate who was sent to
France to try TO dissuade the French
king. Louis NN. would not listen to
this delegate: he sent word TO his
transferred subjects that they must
yield.
Then the Louisiana people resolved
on a radical course. On the night OF
October IS, lI6S, the rebels took pos
session of the forts and the gates OF
the town, aud they proclaimed the re
public of Louisiana. The ola French
governor did nothing: the new Span
ish governor sailed for Havana. Mex
day formal declaration Of indepen
dence was adop,ed: soon writer
was elected to the office of ''protector.
A few months later a Spanish squad
ron arrived at New Orleans. |
brought two thousand soldiers. Thu
republic was overthrown; several 0
the leaders, Lafreniere included, wer'
put to death: the written constitution
and other official papers were burne'
in the public square. The anuiversar,
of the starting of this republic of Lou
isiana will be celebrated in October Q
next year, and the cornerstone of
monument to Latreniere and his com
panions will be laid.-Auacouda Star

Compliments the Police.

Endless stories of Charles H. Hunt,
chief of police of ortland, Me-, are
told by his admirers, and among them
is one that illustrates the ready humor
of the old man. AT dinner given by
prominent citizens of that place, the
chief was the principal guest, and in
the course of the feast he was called
upon to respond to the toast, 1.-THE
Police.' Amid applause, Mr.. Hunt
arose in the full dignity of his gor.
geous uniform and in silence indie
ative of the affection felt for him, said
with a comical wink: "Here's to the
police: first in war, first in peace, first

THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS.

The press dispatches of few days
ago made the startling announcement
that labor union men may cause a
financial panic by withdrawing three
hundred million dollars from the
banks. Mr.. Thomas Kidd, vice presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor, is said to have threatened this
action by members of labor organiza-
tions, should they find it advisable to
take such a course in their contro-
versy with associations of employers.
It appears, on the testimony of Mr..
Kidd, that the average American
workingman is somewhat of capital
ist himself. BY combining his fnan-
cial resources with those of his fell
low laborers he has control of three
hundred million dollars, and the cap
tains of Industry and kings of finance
are paupers in comparison with this
great aggregation of wealth.
This estimate of the wealth of mem-
bers of labor organizations may be
accepted as coming from official
sources. Mr.. Kidd is in position to
know what he is talking about. and he
says their savings are represented by
three hundred million dollars on de-
posit in the banks.
This announcement will be received
with qualification by the public at
large, but it will cause surprise to
many. 1t has been customary for pO-
litical alarmists and pessimists to rep
resent the American workingman as a
victim of oppression and capitalistic
greed-an unfortunate atom Of human
ity chained to the chariot Of monopoly
and avarice. On one memorable Oc'
cason the peerless leader of a great
political party declared that some
body was trying to "press down upon
but he has lived to see the day when
labor has a crown Of thorns with
which it threatens TO decorate the
brow Of its alleged oppressors.
This stupendous aggregation of
wealth, the savings of the most highly
paid labor IN the world, should be
viewed with admiration and pleasure
by those who formerly regarded Am.
erican worIzingmen as downtrodden
unfortunates. The exhibit shows they
have prospered abundantly. They
have a bank account that is three
hundred million dollars strong, and
is still growing.

THE RAVALLI LYNCHING.

The lynchlng of a convicted MUIR.
derer in Ravalli county is not a good
advertisement for Montana. 1t shows
the prevalence of spirit of lawless-
ness that only needs a little provoca
tion to develop into acts that are a
crime against the state.
Walter Jackson, the convicted mur-
derer who was lynched by the mob,
was under sentence of death for most
diabolical deed, and in the ordinary
course of events would have paid the
penalty for his terrible crime. There
was no delay in bringing him to JUS
tice and proving his guilt, and his ex-
ecution was to take place on October
l3, just two months after the murder
of which he was convicted. But at
this stage of the proceedings occurred
the hitch that prompted action on the
part of citizens who demanded that
swift and certain justice be done. The
case was appealed to the supreme
court upon apparently technical
grounds, this operating to postpone
the execution, and mob Of impatient
and exasperated citizens decided to
take the matter in hand, reg ardless of
courts and fine points Of law raised
by attorneys for the defense.
In this case, as in many others, de.
lay in carrying out the decree of the
court was the cause of the lynching,
and while it was not legitimate ex-
cuse for usurping the duties OF the
regul arly constituted authorities, it
indicates feeling of satisfaction
with methods of procedure that delay
if they do not defeat the administra-
tion of the law. AS long as a con-
victed murderer is able to keep away
from the hangman's rope, there is just
a possibility that he may succeed in
escaping the sentence of the court.
1t was probably a feeling of appre.
hension to this effect that prompted a
of RavaIli county citizens to
resort to mob law and execute mur-
derous iend of whose guilt there was
not shadow of doubt. 1t was a law
less act, however, and is to be deeply
The legal execution of their
victim was an almost absolute certain.
ty, and the lynching will be considered
by outside communities as an evidence
that the people of Montana lack conf
dence in the ability or determinatio
OF courts and public officials to en-
force the laws Of the state.
Fortunately for the reputation OF
Montana citizens as a law. abiding
people, instances of mob law have not
been so numerous here as in many
other parts Of the country. In vigi-
lante days, of course, lynching epi'
sodes We're quite frequent, but they
were justified by the peculiar condi-
tions existing at that time. The
suppression of the lawless element of
early days was followed by dispen-
sation of justice through regular pro-
cess of law, and very few guilty men
escaped.
In the early eighties, it will be re-
membered, there was wholesale
lynching of alleged horsethieves in the
Musselshell country: and in Helena a
horsethief suspect was taken out of
jail and hanged. About two years
avO a. raDe fiend was lvnched in Hell
eua, and murderous Jail breaker at
Glasgow met a similar fate last July.
These are few instances of disregard
for the law which, like the Ravalli
county fair, reelected upon the good
citizenship of Montana.
The river press., 1903-10-21

declares that this thing must stop.
With brutal disregard OF that senti-
ment which hallows the things that

men. putfed up by a little brief au-
thority, moved by this new tangled
idea called local pride, seek to tear
down that which tradition has wrought
and 10 snatch from the free born citi-
zen a cherished right and privilege.
Will the people of Dillon stand for it?
The Inter Mountain is of the opinion
that they will have to.
