THE HORSE is NOT OUT OF

The automobile is not sending
"Dobbin" to the boneyard. Contrary
to predictions. it has not driven the
horse out of business. If he is turned
adrift to exc out an uncertain liveli'
hood from the Canadian thistles and
mulleins that grow along the high
ways it is because he is too old and
decrepit for service and not because
the automobile has destroyed his use,

The automobile has indeed not ey

10 PROTECT The PRESIDENT.

The Anaconda Standard calls atten-
tion to the fact that the last session
of congress failed to pass the bill Civ
ing protection to the President of the
United States from anarchists, cranks
and others who may seek his life.
Probably one-half the people of the
nation were under the impression that
such a law vas enacted. Certainly af-
ter the great tragedy that shocked
the nation and the civilized world IL
was supposed that the passage of such
a law would be one of the first duties
of congress. The matter was taken
up early but there was some difficulty
in reaching an agreement between the
two houses. Conferees were appoint
ed and in the closing hours of the
session an agreement was reached
but too late to secure the passage of
the bill.
As agreed upon the bill prescribed
the death penalty for the killing of
the president or vice president of the
United States, or any officer upon
whom the duties OF president devolv-
ed by the constitution and law. The
penalty also extended to any ambassa.
dor or minister OF a foreign state or
country while on duty. Attempt TO
cause the death of any of these per
sons was made punishable by death,
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1903-10-28

or at the discretion OF the court I'M
prisonment for no less than ten years
The bill provided also that any II
within the Jurisdiction Of the united
States who should aid. abct advise or
counsel the killing Of the president or
vice president, or other officer upon
whom the powers of the president
would devolve or who should counsei
the killing of the sovereign or chiei
magistrate of any foreign country or
who should %conspire with any person
to accomplish the same, should be
deemed a principal offender. persons
who aided in the escape OF any n
guilty of the foregoing offenses should
be punished as a principai. Any per-
son who advocated the propriety or
necessity Of killing the head OF any
civilized nation or who openly justi-
fed such killing, should be fined not
more than $4,000, with Imprisonment
from one to twenty years. No per-
son who opposed organized govern
ment or who was affiliated with any
society opposing II should be per-
mitted to enter the United States or
any place subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, and no such person should be
naturalized or made a citizen of the
United States.
This or a similar bill will undoubt-
eddy become a law at the next regu-
lar session of congress. While it
might not prevent a crank from seek
ing the life of the president or others
high in authority il would serve as
a deterrent among those capable of
realizing the seriousness of such a
crime. Furthermore, 1t fixes penal
ties under national authority which
will take precedent over state laws
when ii comes to putting them in
force. The killing OF the president in
a state which has abolished capital
punishment would result in conse,
quences of a very serius nature.
Then. again, the above bill provides
for the exclusion OF persons opposed
to organized government. a feature
that should be enforced as rigidly as
possible.
Even with this law or any other
that may be enacted the presidents
life will always be in danger and toe
many safeguards can not be used.
Certain newspapers throughout the
country have ridiculed the idea OF
having detectives accompany Presi
dent Roosevelt in his movements. Ne
one dislikes their presence more thar
he. If choice were given him in the
matter he would have no body guard
But it would not be safe to dispense
with them as recent events hav,
fully demonstrated. These fault find
ers may have occasion to regret theiI
censure. An ounce of prevention il
better than a pound Of cure.

ton. Take Montana, for instance.
The catalogue houses of the east
have not a dollar invested in this
state nor do they pay a cent in taxes
here. They pay the lowest scale of
wages of any business in the United
States. hence are enabled to sell very
cheap. They invariably employ won.
en- and girls instead of men and drive
small merchants out of business in
the cities where they r located.
With these things to their advantage
they still want the government to car
~ their wares for almost nothing,
thereby becoming. We believe, a great
err beneficiary than those purchasing
their goods. Certainly so when the
laboring man will look at the question
from the standpoint OF community of
interest. You destroy the business of
the merchants OF a town or city and
you will not have much business of
any kind. His prosperity is a good
index of the prosperity of all the peo-
pie. When h. fails there will be no
need Of more buildings. There will
be stores to let. The pay roll OF the
local merchant goes TO swell the
money in general circulation. He

rs and is interested in every move
ment for the advancement OF his town
or city. The foreign merchants only
interest is in getting payment for his
goods. which are often shoddy and but
little cheaper than those OF the home
merchant.
The labOring man should remember
that about the quickest way to reduce
the wage scale to that paid in the
east is 10 buy goods Of those houses
that pay about half: yes, in some in,
stances less than one-third. of the
scale paid in Montana. We don't be.
Iteve the wage workers of this state
