check the too general practice OF pa
tronizing eastern mail order houses.
We don't believe there is as much OF
this done In Lewistown now as for
merly. It should be reduced to the
very minimum. II these purchases
were confined to the articles or goods
that cannot be had here there would
be little cause for complaint, but pur-
chases made on the score Of economy
are unfair and unjust to local dealers
who pay heavy taxes and and are In
many ways identified with the growth
and prosperity OF the city.
Money sent east never returns and
the mail order and department stores.
OF the large cities have no concern for
the welfare of their distant patrons or
the town or county in which they live.
Our city is growing and u mer-
chants every year are adding to the
variety OF their stocks. Possibly they
would welcome a few suggestions as to
the particular articles desired and
would aim to keep them In stock.
Tastes differ and 1t is always their aim
to please their old customers as well
as to gain new ones. n Garl
II there is a little margin to be gain
ed give 1t to the local merchants in
stead Of eastern houses who have no
interest In you. other than to get your
money.

At a recent meeting OF the National
Live Stock association in Kansas City
a resolution was adopted favoring the
passage of a law by congress which
will allow cattle to be carried on the
railroads for forty hours instead Of
twenty-eight without food and water.
This proposition has brought a pro-
test from the national officers Of the
society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals. II is said nat the rail.
roads are asking for this change as it
will enable them to MAKE better time
and reach Chicago from some points
without unloading II permitted to run
continuously for forty hours. Aside
from the cruelty involved in such long
runs without food and water. and this
is a feature worthy of the considera.
ton of all people of fine sensibilities,
1t would seem to be a change unde-
sirable to all far west shippers Of
beef cattle. To them haste should not
be as important as the placing of their
stock on the market In good condi-
ton. which could hardly be the case
under the proposed change.

Our contemporary Is exercising
needless concer about Chairman
Phillips expenses to Helena to attend
the meeting of County Commissioners
and Attorneys called for the purpose
Of framing a road law. Mr.. Phillips
went of his own volition and will bear
the expense incurred. Even II he were
reimbursed IL would be money well
expended. His journey was the long
est and most d~isagreeable considering
the mode of travelling. The meeting
was an important one and the COM
missioners and attorneys received the
thanks Of the governor and the legis-
lators for the valuable assistance rem
dered toward securing a common
sense road law. However. Mr.. Phillips
is a public-spirited official who has
given the county good service and 1t
is safe to say he will present no bill
for his expenses whatever course the
chairmen OF other county boards may
take as regards reimbursement.

having accused the man Of committing
a murder. 1t was shown during the
trial that no malice was attached and
the jury. while finding for the plaintiff,
placed the damages at six cents. A
confusion OF names probably led to
the mistake, or even transformation.
The verdict seems to be in keeping
with law and common sense. All
ne wspapers have their enemies and II
is an easy matter to find a lawyer or
lawyers to take such cases on shares
of what they can recover-especially
il they think the publisher has any
property. 1t is time Montana had a
decent libel law.

Attorney General Knox says in his
letter to congress: In my judgment a
monopoly of any industry would be i'm
possible II competition were assured
in a fair and open field" That Is pre-
cisely the reason the democrats ask
the removal of the tariI BARRIERS

In the above Mr.. Knox was dealing
with the trusts. OF course, II the pro-
ducts of this country can be produced
as cheaply as those from other coun.
tries with which II would have to COM
pete. then the tariff barriers" could
be removed, but mauifestly. all condi-
tons must be equal. Everything that
enters into the cost must not very ma.
terially. The cost of labor alone in
some lines of manufacture In this
country is double that paid in the pro
duction Of the foreign article. II Is
even so in the production OF much that
is classed as raw material" When
the artisans and laboring men oil
America are willing to accept the same
wages and conditions as their foreign
competitors then 1t will be time tC
talk of free trade. We hope 1t will no
come soon.

FIRE APPARATUS NEEDED.

The matter of organization for fire
protection and facilities afforded is not
one which has in the past very much
concerned the average citizen of Lew
town; there has apparently been a
disposition either to trust to luck" or
entirely to the OF young men who
have taken an active interest in the
volunteer fire company and have done
their best with the inefficient appara-
tus furnished them and the slight sup
port they have received from the citi-
gems generally. III

a favorable report made oy competent
insurance men who will soon be sent
to Lewistown to investigate condi-

the insurance companies will merely
inquire as to the capacity Of the pump,

OF hydrants and the pressure develop

agents inform us that inquiry will be
made As to available apparatus for

that President Roosevelt will also be

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young ;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump.
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. II
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump.
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rightly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment anc
that's the best treatment.

DON'T FORGET 1T.

The people of Fergus county should
remember that in the Democratic con
vention last fall and in the campaign
that followed, the regular, or Clark
Democracy, was ignored and the party
went into the contest under the banner
and leadership of F. Augustus Heinze
and his local ~lieutenants. Not satisfi-
ed with this Heinze emissaries of the
most disgusting character were sent
here to stump the county and by other
means work up a sentiment that would
elect a legislative delegation favorable
to the interests of their master. For
tunately for the good name Of Fergus
county, only one man was elected Thy
Academy who is in any way obligated
to MI. Heinze and it is to be hoped he
will have the courage to break away
from his foul environments at the
first opportunity.
No wonder the veteran actor, Ma
guire, finds in the Shores disbarment
proceedings the plot for a drama. The
revengeful intriguers of the Montana
Ore Purchasing company in their ef-
forts to disbar an attorney for the
A~malgamated Copper company, put
upon the stand as witness the no.
torious and discredited Judge Harvey,
of Silver Bow county. Under cross
examination OF Lawyer veile he be-
came as plastic as putty and by his
own evidence proved himself the
evil-doer instead Of the accused.
AS he has proved a very soft mark
for Heinse and his gang in the past
80 he proved to be In the hands of the
shrewd Denver lawyer. So damaging
was his testimony to himself that i'm
peachment proceedings have been In
stituted against him in the legislature.
At first In their dismay, It was pro-
posed to desert the Judge and allow
him to be impeached for drunkenness
on the bench. But as tough "a the
gang is, this was thought to be dia-
bolical. so they r rallying to his de-
Tense and giving him certificates of
Understanding that would be
heavily discounted anywhere outside
of, Silver Bow county. r.u,e.l

fiunkies and hirelings are now in Hell

shame and disgrace of impeachment

pie of Fergus county were asked to

votes last fall. Think of 1t!

The senatorial fight has been set
tied in Colorado by the election of
Henry M. Teller. Senator Wolcott,
who was his opponent, accepts the sit.
uation gracefully, although he init
mates that Teller's election was Sc
cured by fraud and a betrayal of party
trust on the part of some Republicans.
There is a strong probability that Tel.
Ter may get too old to hold office
eventually and still stronger assur-
ance that the people of Colorado have
witnessed the last of Democratic con.
troll for some time TO come. IL was
once the banner Republican state and
there is every indication that it will
be back in line again next year.

IL Judge Harvey was drunk on the
bench he should be impeached. This
may not seem a great offense in Silver
Bow county, which is h~oney-combed
with all kinds of rottenness, but to the
balance of the state it will appear as
a disgrace and an offense that cannot
be condoned. But drunkenness seems
to be the smallest part Of Judge Har.
ney's offending against the state and
judicial decency.

OF Andrew Jackson in the least, the
one great battle which gave him fame
as a military chieftain was fought
neal New Orleans, January s, 1916,
when the British forces under General
Packenham met with a crushing de-
feat. But this battle was fought eight
days after peace was declared and had
no effect upon the result. At this time
General Jackson held the commission
of major general. 1t is plain to any
one that his operations in the far
south, however creditable. could not
have entitled him to the distinction
accorded him by the Miner. History
says his life as a planter was
chequered with disputes and duels."

trary, vindictive and subject to the

Roosevelt made no mistake when he
refused to place Jackson in the 'larg-
er mould occupied by Washington,
Lincoln and Mckinley.
