A SUGGESTION.

Washington Post: Inasmuch as
there can be no reorganization of the
democratic party on the lines of 1896
and 1900; inasmuch as the %onserva
tive elements of that party will not
consent to allegiance with the popu-
lists On the money question:" would
it not be a good movement for all
concerned for MI. Bryan to go over,
with whatever of following he may
have, to the money theory of the pop
ulist? That would call for less sac
rifce on his part than the populists
have made in two campaigns in &C.
cepting a 50-cent dollar in lieu of a
dollar made of paper, and irredeem-
able. 1t is altogether probable that
the bulk of the populist contingent
would stand with the democrats on a
conservative platform. 1t is not i'm
probable that the democracy, on such
a platform, would draw a good many
republicans. Since, then, it is i'm
possible for Mr.. Bryan to squarely
break his solemn vow of loyalty to
his idol, why should he not arrange
to go with the %populists on a plat
form putting 16 to / second to the
paper dollar, but still paying due trib-
ute to the former? Why not recipro-
cate the twice-repeated concession of
his allies so as to be ready to do
something when "the money question
again becomes acute?"

or local ticket than it would be were
it the sole issue in elections which,
in any event, the political parties
would conduct.
All in all, the courts of Montana
those of the grade that appears to be
in the governors mind-are of excel
lent repute. There are some notable
EXCEPTIONS; there are well-known
courts in the state which, in the opin-
ion of thousands of citizens, are ut
terly unworthy of the respect or the
confidence of the public. Fortunately,
the number of these is very small.
Evils of that sort correct themselves;
that is sure to be the case in any
American community that is fit to en-
joy the blessings of representative
government. Otherwise, if our courts
must be saved from corruption, spec
ial elections won't save them, nor
will they be useful factors toward re-
lief.

NEWSPAPERS AND READERS.

Chicago Tribune: In talking about
newspapers not long ago a college
professor is reported to have said that
twenty minutes a day was all that
n ought to give to newspaper read
ing. 1t is to be feared that such ad-
vice will fortify the skipper and the
skinner in their helterskelter habits.
Not that there is no justification for
skipping and skimming.
There certainly is. The perfect,
ne plus ultra reader is the one who
can adjust his speed to the Importance
of the matter which he is perusing,
who can float lightly over passages
which do o concern him and plod
conscientiously through passages
which do concern him, who has &C.
quired the power of rapid survey
without losing the power, whenever
it is necessary to exercise it, OF ac-
curate insight. This kind of reading
machine, capable of being adjusted to
any required velocity and to any re-
quired degree of thoroughness, will
do more work in a day than any other
kind of reading machine hal can be
advised.
1t remains true, however, that most
people skip and skim unintelligently.
They fall into ways which are fatal
+> ~,ap+oJ hno1fh Tnnv ho1nrn ton
cursory. Such people should give
their paper more than twenty min
utes a day. They need not read ev-
erything that the paper contains. The
headlines will enable the INTO pick
out those articles which are of par
ticular value to them. Other people
will pick out other articles. That is
the plan on which the daily paper is
constructed. 1t is not meant in all
it's parts for all people. What it at
| tempts to do is to give each of it's
readers the things which he is inter-
ested in. When he has found those
things he should read them carefully.
Unless he does he will find that his
acquaintance with current events is
exceedingly unsatisfactory.
The farmer who plows through the
| columns of his paper with much more
care than speed is, of all men in the
country, the best informed on many
subjects of political moment. The
thing we need is, perhaps, not that
newspaper reading should be less alb
sorbing, but that it should be more
| discriminating.

others by opening a new field of in
dustry and adding to the industrial
and commercial prosperity Of a sec
ton of country which at the present
is lacking more or less in this respect.
Not only will dependence on the Penn
sylvania mines cease, but there will
also be freedom of dependence upon
the bituminous coal of the middle
states, for the supply of the new fuel
and the ease Of it's production and
transportation Ito the point of ulti-
mate consumption are such as to
make it available over an immense
area.
1t is also claimed for the briquettes
that they burn without smoke and
that in every respect they are super
ior to anthracite and bituminous coal.
In order that the new fuel may re-
ceive a thorough and practical test,
the 800" road has agreed to give it
a trial in it's locomotives. The re-
suits of this will be anxiously awaited
by many, to whom the fuel question
has assumed such proportions as to
transcend almost all others entering
into the question of domestic econ

Venezuelan Energy.

In discussing the present status of
affairs in Venezuela, a New Yorker
recently returned from that much
troubled meek O. woods expressed
surprise yesterday at the apparent
energy displayed by President Castro
and his followers.
"The morning before came away"
said the New Yorker, II walked into
a small cafe in La Guaira for an eye
opener of native guara, a liquor dis
titled from sugarcane, and known,
from it's color, to the Americans and
English, as white eye | considered
that the only real live thing I al
across during my years stay threre.
"As | was about to down the guara
each side of a low table, on which
reposed a dice box. Neither so much
as blinked an eye and l asked what
they were doing.
"'Oh, they are shaking dice for
the drinks he replied.
Late in the afternoon | went into
the same cafe for a farewell bowl,
and, to my surprise, there sat the
same Venezuelans at the same table,
silently contemplating the unmoved
dice box.
"'Have they been sitting there all
day like that?' | inquired.
"'Si, senor,' was the reply. They're
shaking dice for the drinks
".Well why on earth don't they
| shake them?' I persisted.
"'What would be the use, senior?

them the trouble

GOOD BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

OF the several outside parties who
have been heard from in regard to
the establishment of a wooden mill in
the city none has submitted a propo-
sition possessed of greater merit or
which seemingly has been more bust
nesslike and direct than the one men,
toned in yesterdays issue of The
Gazette. The gentleman with whom
DR.. Allen is in correspondence, unlike
some of the others who have been
heard from, does not want any unrea-
sonable concessions. All he asks in
the nature of a gift, or bonus, is a site
for the plant. 1t is true that he also
asks financial support, but merely in
the way of an investment for those
who may subscribe. He is willing and
prepared to become an equal partner
with the people, asking only that they
furnish one-half of the money needed
tc erect and equip the plant. Roughly

1t may surprise Governor Toole, but
his recommendation that the cleo
ton of judges of the district and SUI
preme courts be made the subject of
separate polls does not meet with the
enthusiastic endorsement from the
press and individuals of the state as
he probably hoped for. Had he con
tented himself with merely advising
this one addition to the already large
number Of elections held, the criti-
cism aroused might have been less
general, but adding to this the other
polls necessary in connection with
his advocacy of the initiative and
referendum has caused a feeling of
tiredness and dissent and which will
undoubtedly find expression in the &C
ton of the legislature.

MAY 1T BE TRUE.

From ST. Paul the news OF
a discovery said to have been made
by a resident of that city, which, IL
substantiated by further develop
ments, will prove of vital interest to
the people Of the country at large
who are dependent upon coal as a
fuel. while to those of eastern Mon
lana and the Dakotas it will be OF
even greater interest and Importance.
The reputed discovery is nothing less
than the ability to make into brl-
quotes the Ignite which exists in
practically inexhaustible quantities
in Montana and it's two eastern neigh
bors. In behalf of the inventor it is
claimed that by combining the Ignite
with certain other substances he has
succeeded in making briquettes which
cost. to manufacture, $1.25 a ton. Elk
periments made at the Minnesota
STATE university developed from like
weight quantity of Ignite briquettes
md anthracite 1928 heat units from
the former and only II 200 heat. units
from the latter, with an ash residum
Of four pounds from the anthracite
and one pound four ounces from the
briquettes. incidentally an excellent
qaulity of coke is said to have also
resulted from the %briquettes.
1t now remains only for the discov-
erer to demonstrate that his discovery
can be made commercially practical
BILE. If this can be done it is safe to
say that no invention of recent years
is of as much Importance to the en-
tire northwest as this. With Ignite
marketable at, say So a ton, which
is placing it at a high figure, even for
| points hundreds of miles beyond the
field of it's production, and converted
into briquettes at an additional cost
of SIPS, producing a fuel equal and
even superior to anthracite costing
in many instances double and more
that amount, a revolution will be
wrought, the consequences of which
are fairly beyond computation. In adj
dition to affording a relief to thou
sands from the expressions of the an
thracite barons and thereby adding
to the comfort and welfare of a large
class, the new discovery will also
! bring wealth and happiness to many

COURTS AND ELECTIONS.

Anaconda Stand: Were the mem
bers of the legislature to consider all
the suggestions contained in Gov
ernor Toole's message, the sittings
a. Helena would be a continuous Per-
Torrance for two or three years, at
the shortest. In fact, the governor,
in writing his message, seems to have
had always in his mental eye a con-
vention for the exhaustive revision OF
the constitution rather than the out
line of a policy for legislative work
in a siXty-day session.
In instances, the governors sug-
gestions appear to be the expression
of personal opinion rather than a
record OF what is recognized as pre-
vailing public opinion. There is, for
instance. the matter of the election
of Judges. 81 have long been of the
opinion" the message says, that the
election Of judicial officers should be
removed as far as possible from the
influence of politics. That is an
opinion which a great many people
share, and the opinion itself ought
effect with all patriotic citizens. I'm
der the conditions. just as they exist
at this moment, the separation of The
bench from partizan considerations
would be speedily accomplished ii
well-ascertained public sentiment
were to assert itself.
But Governor Toole would seek to
accomplish this greatly-desired resuit
through the agency of SPECIAL eicc-
:icns for members of the judiciar!
That course, as the Standard believes.
would be quite as apt to intensity
p~artisanship in the election Of judges
as to operate in the desired way. The
political parties would hold state con-
ventions for the nomination of can
didates, and it often would occur that
the judiciary election would be made

BY RuFFlAN.
Mrs. N. J. BieIenberg Seized by the
Throat and Choked.

Deer Lodge, Jan. 1O.-About 10
O'Clock yesterday an unknown man
with a white handkerchief over his
face knocked at the back door of the
residence of N. j. Bielenberg. Mrs.
~Bielenberg responded and upon open
ing the door the man stepped in. The
lady was badly frightened and began
to scream.
The man grabbed her by the throat
and choked her, presumably to stop
her cries. MI. Bielenberg, who has
been at home sick for a couple of
days, appeared and the man left. Mrs.
%Bielenberg tainted and in administer
ing to her Mr.. Bielenberg let the man
get away without being noticed even
by any of the neighbors.
Sheriff Barnden was notified at
once and with his force has been
searching the town and outskirts.
but as yet there is no clue. Mrs.
~Bielenberg was unable to give the
officers any description of the man
or the clothes he wore.
This is the third time in three years
that Mrs. ~Bielenberg has endured
about the same experience. A year
ago, while she was going out to see
one of her ~neighborss in the evening
she was attacked by a mar and badly
frightened. Her cries frightened him
away and in running the lady fell
on some wood, causing a number of
ugly bruises.
Some time prior to this occurrence
a man entered the house at night but
the family was awakened and he got
away without leaving a cue. Mrs.
Bielenberg seems to be the unfortu-
nate one in this line and the feeling
here is intense and should the party
be caught the matter will probably
not be taken into court.

Basing their opinion upon recent
experience, the people of Yellowstone
county respectfully beg the privilege
of differing from the governor in the
matter of beauties and joys of often
occurring elections. They had the
pleasure of indulging in two of these
little pastimes this fall and are sat-
isfied with the regular biennial events
of that sort, with an occasional city
and school election thrown in by way
of variety and diversion.

VOLCANO IN UTAH.
One Discovered in the Eastern Part of
the State.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 11.-A special
to the Tribune from Moab, Utah, says
that a small active volcano crater has
been discovered by prospectors in
the Dome plateau region, near the
Grand river, 20 miles north of Moab.
From the crater, which is in the solid
sandstone formation of the mesa,
arises a column of steam that can be
seer for miles. The appearance OF
the volcanic vent indicates that until
recently it has been dormant for many
wears. Moab is in the extreme east
ern part of the state, not far from the
Colorado line.
