Walter Wellman. in a recent let
ter to the Chicago Record.Herald re.
latos the following incident in con-
neclion with the postal frauds:
President Roosevelt has had a deal
of trouble with the friends of State
Senator Green, the New York man
who was recently indicted for com
plicity in the postal frauds. Mr..
Roosevelt aud Mr.. Green are old-time
friends. and when danger arose that
the state senator was TO be- indicted,
his friends raised heaven and earth,
as the saying is, 10 save him. They
not only went 10 the president and
begged him to intervene in behalf of
his old friend. but according to com
mon report. they induced Governor
Odell. Senator Plat and other prom
inent men to do the same thing. Pres
ident Roosevelt would not bulge an
inch. He declared that justice must
take its course, and that he would
not use his authority to relieve from
prosecution the best friend he ever
had in the world if there was any
ground for suspicion that he had been
engaged in attempts to defraud the
government
The above is only another proof OF
President Rooseyelt's honesty of pur.
pose in dealing with the affairs OF
government. In the past few months
such untruthful and characterless
sheets as the Butte Miner have accus
ed the president of insincerity. spec
tacularism and moral c~Uwardice. But

4 MEM HuMORIST.

In the dull mOnot0ny of every day
life there is nothing so refreshing as
something original and humorous.
Few men are born with the gift TO
amuse their fellows. Now and then
one hobs up ~serenely, The latest one
10 appear upon the scene is G.. w.
Knarr. OF Wheeling, West Virginia.
What Mr.. Knarr has to say will not
amuse the nation as il does the people
OF Montana. but ii may provoke a
smile everywhere. He wants Sena-
tor Clark, of this state TO be the
Democratic candidate for president in
the coming national contest. Whether
Mr.. Knarr ever lived in Montana or
not We do not know: whether he Is
familiar with the recent political his
tory OF this state is also a question.
Like the Hon. David b. Hill he first
gives assurance thai he is IA Demo.

He further desires 10 impress the fact
that he is very much interested in
the question as 10 whom the Demo
Gratis will nominate" He says he has
Just returned from a trip through the
west and while he does not admit
of having @ q the object of his
hearts desire he says that his "at'
tention was called TO a man whom
| believe to be a practical, powerful
man. and one who will bring more
votes to the Democratic party than
any other man who could be named
He does not say how those votes
would be- obtained. the inference be
ing that the fetching process was
well understood-and so it is-iT
Montana.
Mr.. Knarr then goes on to explain
or give reasons why he thinks Mr.
Clark 4 strong candidate. Amonl
other things he says:
Senator Clark is a well educated
man, broad in both thought and IN
p%eripnce, not only in the business
world. but in the political and econom
zeal world. as well as i'm literature anC
arr. He was at the head Of the organ
%izatiOn of the state of Montana. HI
represented the state AT the great ex
position at New Orleans. His patriot
ism and money have several time:
saved the state of Montana from dis
aster. Senator Clark is a stroni
fighter, If he espouses a cause. h,
always fights to win and that is jus
what the Democratic party needs a
the present time"
II would be interesting to know jus
how many times Mr.. Clark has save
Montana from disaster by his "ps
triotism and money" II is probabl
true that he has done more to plac
Montana in bad repute than all of tn
rest of the men within her borders
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1903-10-07

be better TO leave them as they are
than TO repeal them altogether. That
these laws have made Montana what
she is today can not be denied. II
We had waited for the farmer TO come
here and settle on 100 acres or
eighty acres" which some claim is
enough, Montana would not have had
the population she has now in one
hundred years. Every ranchman
knows that, and he is not a land
grabber," nor a LAND theft" generally
speaking. We are not solicitous
about the latter. If there is any way
10 prevent fraud It should be done.
II there was closer inspection on the
part of the government and a few en-
trymen prosecuted and deprived Of
their land, abuses OF the law would be
fewer. Repeal the continuation
clause OF the homestead law if neces-
sary. It is not as essential rs 1t has
been In the past. II we are going TO
have general irrigation every honest
cntryman will want his land for his
own use. But it is strange to hear
now. after twenty-five years OF settle
mcnt and after a constant search for
agricultural and pasture lands that
large tracts are being taken up on
the plains and in the valleys and held
by spectators in anticipation Of their
reclamation by national irrigation
II true. some men are going 10 wait
a good while to realize upon their
holdings. II the government can set
aside timber reservations why does
M it make selections aud withdraw
from entry lands that are to be.
or that can be-. reclaimed by irrigation
projects? Where lands al not be re.

making il impossible to obtain them
by the repeal of all oil the land laws?
II is nothing more than a determine.

The PRESIDENT FIRM.

President Roosevelt has again made
clear his attitude in the Miller case
as well as that relative to the open
door in the matter Of government
employment. Ii is plain to any fair
and reasonable man that any other
position would be unjust and unlaw.
full. Whatever course may be pur-
sued by individuals or others employ.
ing labor the president of the United
States cannot discriminate. The presi
dent states the case very clearly to
the committee representing the con-
federation Of labor. He says among
other things:
AS regards the Miller case | have
little to add to what, | have already
said. In dealing with it | ask you to
remember that | am dealing purely
with the relation of the government
to its employees. | must govern my
action by the laws of the land, which
| am sworn to administer, and which
differentiate any case in which the
government of the United States is a
party from all other cases whatsoever.
These laws are enacted for the bere-
fit of the whole people. and can net
and must not be construed as permit
ting discrimination against some of
the people. | am president of all the
people of the United States, witioat
regard to creed, color. birthplace, &C.
cupation or social conditions. My
aim is to do equal and exact justice
as among them all
In the employment and dismissal
of men in the government service |
can no more recognize the fact that
a man does or does not belong to a
union as being for or against him
than | al recognize the fact that he
or a Gentle, as being for or against
him"
That the enemies and political op'
ponents of Mr.. Roosevelt will take
advantage of his stand in the matter
is true. 1t is being done already. But
we don't believe. the great labor or
CARNATIONS of the country, after due
elaboration. will array themselves
against the president. They have q
great deal to lose and nothing to gain
by such a course. The president is q
good friend OF labor and favors legis
lation of more Importance to theil
welfare than anything that could bc
gained by forcing this issue. Then
again, any man fit to be president o.
the United States could not do other
wise than take the same stand tina
Mr.. Roosevelt has taken himself.

The Esup In KENTUCKY.

The recent conviction of Curtis
Jett one of the most notorious and
desperate of Kentucky feudists, after
he had been freed by a jury in his
home county, calls public attention to
some amazing facts concerning the
homicides that blacken the history
of that commonwealth and the rea.
sons for the apparent inability OF the
state to check them.
The killing at J.. b. Marcum, for
which Curtis Jctt has been given a
life sentence In the penitentiary. was

with the crowd. viewing the remains
OF the dead attorney. Scores saw
Jett go in tho side door of the court
house Just before the shooting and
come out again Immediately after

The murder was the result of an
