DEMOCRACY UNITING.

Senator John T. Morgan thus ex-
pressed himself the other day regard
ing politics:
president Roosevelt has gone into
his hole and pulled it after him, 80 to
speak, and none of us know what is to
be the result. The political situation
at large strikes me about this way.
"The democratic party has had it's
differences, its dissensions, it's wran-
giles until it is we'll satisfied to come
together IN movement for success,
"The republican party is now enter
ing this rocky road that we have
abandoned but it will likely get several
knockdowns before it is through. It
is beginning its internal dissensions.
We are through with ours. We must
agree on a settled policy"

CARNEGIE'S LATEST.

Andrew Carnegie has just donated
81, soc, 900 for a temple of peace for
the permanent court of arbitration at
The Hague. The gift was made with
the understanding that Holland would
be responsible for it's administration.
This gift will of course be accepted,
but Mr.. Carnegie would probably en-
dear himself little more in the hearts
of the American people if he would
establish few widows and orphans

Business men in Butte as we'll as
outside have suffered and are still
suffering because of this unwarranted
action upon the part of the messenger
boys. And this action of the messenger
boys is being approved ana upheld by
the labor unions of Butte and the COM
pany has been boycotted by them and
driven out of business.
No one denies that trades unionism
is good thing if it is not carried too
far. But when the legitimate labor
organizations of Butte allow a few
tough street gamins to drive concern
like the Western Union Telegraph
company out of business they are doing
themselves great injustice. For the
good of their own organizations they
should lose no time in disappearing Of
the action of the messenger boys.

THURSDAY APRIL 80, 1908.


"Stinking Water" Carroll and the
other members of the so-called presi-
dental reception and entertainment
committee in Butte, and the Butte
Miner, Anaconda Standard, Butte
Inter Mountain, Helena independents
Great Falls Tribune and the other
coal-oil sheets in Montana, are making
laughing stock of themselves through
out the state on account of the howl
which Psesident Roosevelt shall be
received in Butte, and with whom he
shall dine.
When Mr.. F. A. Heinze learned that
President Roosevelt was to visit Butte,
he called upon him and rendered him
4 banquet in that city. The president
accepted. AS soon as Carroll and
other Standard Oil hirelings of his ilk
ascertained that the president was to
dine with Mr.. Heinze, they started to
make political capital out of it.
Malcolm ellis, who pretends to be
laborite, and who has done nothing
but draw pay from the Amalgamated
company as a cheap political hire.ing,
attempted to poison the mind of Secre-
tary Loeb against Mr.. Heinze by vicious
and unwarranted falsehoods, and
sought to have the president reconsider
the matter of dining with Mr.. Heinze.
MIR. Heinze never thought of politics
when he asked the president to accept
banquet from him. He did what
every other Montanan, proud of his
state and of his city, would have done.
He desired to give the president the
opportunity of meeting Butte's promi-
nent citizens. He desired to show him
Montana's hospitality, but this was
too much for the Standard Oil.
Now the Amalgamated- Standard Oil
is seeking to do just the very thing
they accused Mr.. Heinze of doing.
Smarting from the whipping they re-
ceived at the last city election, the coal
Oil tools want to parade the president
for the sole benefit of the kerosene
crowd.
But we don't believe Mayor Mullins
and the respectable citizens of Butte
will allow it. 1t will simply be the
fourth turning down of the Standard
Oil gang.

The Butte Miner and the Great Falls
Tribune, both owned by Senator w. A.
Clark, have been busily engaged at
tempting to read F. Augustus Heinze
out of the democratic party. There
isn't any reason why they shouldn't
do this. They know, as does Senator
Clark, that Mr.. Heinze has a greater
following among the democrats of Mon
tana than any man in the state. It is
to their interest to try to shove Mr..
Heinze into the republican party and
make the people of Montana believe
that he is not a democrat. Mr.. Heinze
is not a political juggler, as is Clark,
and he has never done anything since
he came to the state of Montana, ex-
cept to protect his own rights. He has
been true to his friends who helped
him when he needed help. He never
"gold-bricked" anyone. He has bit.
terly fought those who attempted to
steal from him that which he lawfully
obtained and he has triumphe1 And
he will again triumph. The campaign
of 1904 will see him more powerful
than ever in Montana politics.

WESTERN UNION DIFFICUT.TTEs

The curtains of the Western Union
telegraph office in Butte are drawn.
the doors are closed and not a sounder
has licked in that office since midnight
last Wednesday. All leased wires
have been cut out and the commission
houses and poolrooms are cut off from
Geographic communication with the
outside world. The newspapers are
compelled to get press reports over the
Postal Telegraph company's line and
with considerable inconvenience. No
business man in Butte can reach a
Western Uuion Office outside of Butte:
and no person outside of Butte can have
Geographic communication with BUSH
ness men there. All over the country
notices have been posted in the West
ern Union offices, stating that no mes
sages for Butte will be received for
transmission. Business, from a tele-
graphic standpoint, is dead so far as
Butte is concerned, and all over a
handful of irresponsible boys.
The difficulty arose out of misun-
derstanding between the company and
the "A. ID. L. messenger boys. Some
time ago the messenger boys formed a
union, which is not an uncommon thing
IN Butte. They demanded an increase
in wages from $50 to SIS per month.
This was conceded to them. Suisse
quently they demanded thatthe hours
OF labor be limited to eight hours a
day instead of nine. This demand
was refused by the company and a
strike of the messenger boys resulted.
The company attempted to continue its
business, and employed girls to deliver
its messages, but this experiment
failed. The girls were insulted upon
the streets by the striking boys, and
any person attempting to deliver a
Western Union message, Immediately
upon appearing upon the street, was

THE HAYDEN MURDER TRIAL

THE HAYDEN MURDER TRIAL.
That ''palladium Of liberty" trial
by jury, has again triumphed. Lewis
M. Hayden, former member of the
Billings police force, while in the dis
charge of his official duties, was
charged with having murdered John
P. Mcbride. On Friday last twelve
trustworthy citizens of Yellowstone
county, after celebrating five hours
upon the evidence submitted, rendered
verdict of "not guilty." and gave
Hayden his liberty. No one CONVEX
SAINT with the facts in the case can
doubt the justice of this verdict.
Hayden had been detailed for special
duty on the night of the 18th of Novem-
Der last. He had also been cautioned
to keep a lookout for suspicious char
acters. Mcbride was on his way home
after having paid a visit to friend in
Billings. Hayden thought his actions
were those of suspicious character
and commanded that he halt, where
upon Mcbride started to run.
The theory and evidence of the de-
Tense was that Hayden started in pur-
suit, that he fell over a low fence and
that in the fall his revolver was acct
dentally discharged, the bullet strik-
ing Mcbride in the back of the left leg
above the knee.
The jury evidently took this view of
the case. Mcbride died five days after
the shooting. Hayden was at first
charged with assault in the first de-
gree, but subsequently, after McBride's
death, he was charged with murder in
the first degree. Hayden was dis
charged from the police force shortly
after the accident.
1t is to be regretted that the city of
Billings and its worthy mayor did not
see fit to stay with Hayden and render
him all assistance possible in his
defense.
Had Hayden deliberately shot Nc
Bride while pursuing him and after he
had called upon him to halt, the shoot
ing certainly would have been iusti-
fable. Hayden was employed for the
sole purpose of preserving the peace of
the city of Billings, and seeing to it
that the property rights of it's citizens
were protected. Divest policeman of
his power and authority, and you
simply have him as a blue. coated orna-
me mt on your streets.
This case, which should never have
been tried, has been an unnecessary
upon the taxpayers of Yellow
stone county. The state saw fit to
employ eminent counsel to assist the
prosecution and to perform services
which it was the duty of the county
attorney to perform. The defendant
was put to great expense in
counsel to defend him
against a charge of which he was not

GOV. TOOLE's POPULARITY.

GOV. TOOLE'S POPULARITY.
Lewistown Democrat: An evidence
OF the splendid popularity of Governor
Joseph X. Toole is afforded in the
action taken by the jefferson club of
Lewistown last Monday evening, at
which time, by unanimous vote. a COM
mittee was instructed to prepare reso-
buttons endorsing and commencing the
administration of Governor Toole, at
the same time pledging answering
allegiance to his magnificent leader
ship. FeIicitous addresses were made
upon this subject, and the most enthu-
siastic sentiments were expressed.
This action on the part of Fergus
county democrats will unquestionably
meet with the unqualified approval of
the genuine Democracy of Montana,
for it must be conceded that to Joseph
K. Toole we must look for both guild
ance and leadership. Of all men in
public life in Montana today he is the
one in whom the masses repose the
most implicit confidence, and he it is
to whom we must look as a Moses.
Politics in Montana is in a troublous
condition, corporations are seeking
with might and main to throttle and
crush the democracy, but with SO peer
less a man as Governor Too1e at the
helm there need be no serious appre-
tensions felt as to the ultimate result.
With him to direct our policy, and with
him to dismant1e the barriers erected
by invidious foes, we who are follow
ers and disciples of true democratic
principles can rest assured of the tri-
umph of the patriotic principles exem-
plified by the i1lustrious Thomas jeff
erson.
Although he has oftimes received
deserved recognition at the hands of
his party, there are other high political
honors to which Governor Toole is
justly entitled and the democracy of
Montana will not be content until ne
has been elevated to a United States
s9natorship. This is a position for
which he is pre-eminently qualified,
and his promotion to seat in the
highest 1aw-making body of the land
would win for the loyal democracy of
Montana the plaudits of the entire
land. With him in the senate, Mon
tana would be recognized as she has
never been before, and the most illus
trious statesmen of both parties would
pay homage to the worth, ability and
integrity of the man who now so dig
presides over the destinies of
Montana.
Next year the democracy of this
state can chronicle a sweeping victory
by giving issue to their advocacy of
Governor Toole for a United States
and with such an inspi-
ration to do battle with there could be
no question as to the result.
In this Fergus county has assumed
the initiative, and let us hope that her
may be enthusiastically emu
lated by the remaining twenty-five
of the state. A victory won
under such a banner would be some
thing glorious to contemplate, and
when the object has been accomplished |
every democrat can conscientiously feel |
that he has discharged a noble and
patriotic duty.

 The first night of the swimming con- tests at the Young Mems Christian As sociatlon pool brought out only small number of entries but all the races were close enough to be very interesting and the contests in diving were splendid. Nine men showed up last night for the events out of a total entry list of df- teen. Tisdale won the distance events rather easily, making the fifty-hve wards in 1 minute and IS seconds, and the 11O yard race in minutes and 45 seconds. All the rest of the bunch died out before the finish of the fifty-fve yard sprint. but Clapp stuck to the finish in the long race and was not far behind Tisdale at the finish. Clapp won the long dive. making twice the length of the pool, or seventy feet.

COURT HOUSE STAYS IN ELIZA Governor JelkS Decides Against Enterprise. COFFEE COUNTY FIGHT Petition for Election Commis-
 sion Not Bona fide. Controversy Between Two Progress. i've Little Cities for Seat of
 Government is Ended by
 Chief Executive.

Governor Jelks yesterday declined to ap- point a Board of Commissioners to hold an election to determine the location of the county seat of Coffee County and thus ended the fight between citizens of Elba and Enterprise with victory for Elba.
 Elba. the present county seat is near the center of the County but Enterprise, in the southeastern part of the County, Is progressive and being progressive the citizens of Enterprise coveted the court house and the honor of being the seat of government.
 Under the new Constitution the Cover nor is authorized to appoint a Commis- sion to hold an election on the county seat question when a majority of the citizens of a County petition him to do so.
 Citizens of Enterprise prepared such 6 petition to Governor Jelks but the validity of the petition was assailed by citizens of Elba who declared that fhe petition was not signed by bona fide electors of Cof- fee County.
 About week ago delegations from each or the little cities were given a hearing by the Governor after which he took the matter under consideration.
 Yesterday Governor Jelks announced his decision as follows:
 T referred the papers in the case of the removal of the court house of Coffee County from Elba to Enterprise to public examiner of accounts, and he re- ports, after several days study of the papers. poll tax list. registration list and other furnished data that the names of a majority of the qualified electors of the County are not signed to the petition of the people of Enterprise, calling for an election to change the location of the court house.
 T have also examined the papers care fully and am clearly of the opinion that . majority of such electors are not on the list furnished me. The law clearly pre- scribes that the Governor shall only ap- point an election commission on the pres entation of a petition, carrying a majority of the qualified electors.
 T therefore decline to appoint an cleo tion commission"
 The decision of Governor Jelks means that the county seat will remain at Elba
