About 100000 of the issue of Kala-

there is very little left in circulation.
1t is estimated that there is something
like a hundred thousand dollars left,
part of which will never be redeemed.
When it ceases to be legal tender it will
still be redeemable at its face value.

THE sHERIFF's GRAFT.

The bill appropriating $4,000 to pay
the unpaid bills Of sherifs has been
turned down by the legislature. Ii Is
decided that this is not a state charge.
Under these conditions the deficiency
bills OF the sheriffs will have to be
thrown back upon the counties, and as
they are. according to the allowances
counties will have TO pay them.
These conditions emphasize the ne.
cessity for a change in the present
laws providing for allowances to sher.
IFS for conveying persons TO state in
stitutions. The law should not only
fix the compensation but specify who
should pay the bills. and not leave the
sherins, like Mahomet's coffin. sus-
pended between heaven and earth
the state and the county.
What should be done in the premises
is TO pass a law making these expenses
of sheriffs allowable at actual cost, as
shown by vouchers, upon which set
Element should be made. The time has
gone by when a sheriff should receive
10 cents a mile for himself and a pris.

3 cents a mile for the prisoner. and

TO INVESTIGATE GAMBLING.

According to reports of the legisla-
tive proceedings a committee will be
appointed from the house to investi-
gate charges that state and county Of
ficers are violating their oaths of Of
flee in connection with gambling, and
that they are enriching themselves by
a system of grating"
When Representative Dwight's reso-
luton was offered in the house a few
days since, Attorney General Dono-
van. believing mat the charge reflect
ed upon his office made prompt reply
in yindication of his course. 1t is well
known that Immediately upon taking
office the attorney general started a
crusade against public gambling that
was hopeful of good results, but the
impression was soon gained, whether
justly or not. that he was not sincere
and that his efforts would amount to
zero.
For some time nothing has been
heard from the attorney general in his
efforts to suppress gambling, and it
was supposed that ne had given up
the fight in despair.
1t Is not our purpose to impugn the
motives of Mr.. Donovan. 1t Is easy to
make charges but sometimes difficult
to prove them. Possibly he has been
u~nceasing in his efforts to suppress
gambling. But the impression that he
had given up the fight was not en-
couraging to those holding positions of
less importance and power in the
state.
However, Mr.. Donovan, in his let
ter, states clearly some OF the OBJ
stacles that he had to contend with
and as they are facts incident to near
ly every town and city in the state
we give a brief extract. Mr.. Donovan
says: In many instances | have met
with success. In many sections OF the
state | have been unable TO have the
law enforced, because the county Of
fcials. whose duty IL was to enforce
the law have failed to do so. In many
instances | have gone to the different
counties OF the state and given the en-
forcement Of the law my personal at
tention. ! have not always met with
success, for the reason that in many
sections Of the state public sentiment
was against the enforcement Of the
law. have repeatedly written to sher-
iTs and county attorneys and urged
them in every way 10 enforce the gam
bling law In most of the instances
the Officers have CARED out my in
%strnctions. But when persons were ar
rested for violation of the law ana
brought before the courts. the Wit
nesses relied upon TO prove the
charges have either declined TO TESTIFY
or have testified to an absence OF any
knowledge hat gambling was going
on. have received a great many

1t would have been far better IL the
Montana Legislature had not commenc-
ed impeachment proceedings against
Judge Harvey. The iiasco will do
more harm than good, Harvey and
Heinze may make a pretense OF being
indicated but the action of the house
judiciary committee will fool no one
who has read the evidence that has
been produced against the Butte Judge.
The Heinze people worked hard to Sc.
an aequittal and If they produced
evidence to cause a unanimous report
the people would like to know its
character. There vas no minority re.
port and the house acquised in the re-
port of the full committee, although
there were members prepared to vote
for Impeachment.

anonymous letters callig my attention
to gambling, but the writer's of the let
tiers refused to give their names for
the reason that they did not want to
be known as prosecutors Of the gam
bling act. In many instances | have
received letters signed by fictitious
persons, giving a list of witnesses who
would support the charge of gambling,
but when | called on these witnesses
they declined to give me any informa.
tion and refusing I o testify"
Under the conditions which Mr..
Donovan depicts, and they are not
overdrawn, public gambling is hedged
about with obstacles that seem I'm.
~sumountable.
If there is to be an Investigation let
it be thorough and free from political
bias or prejudice. In some counties
the official responsibility is divided
about evenly politically.
We are not prepared to charge any
officer in this county with grating"
or receiving hush money" Whatever
ground there may be for suspicion in
some other parts of the state we are
inclined to the belief that non-enforce-
ment of the law is altogether due to
a lack of strong public sentiment or
for political reasons. II an officer real
ly felt that he had the support of a
great majority of the voters of the
county, regardless of party, we believe
he would come nearer to doing his
duty.
But when a majority of the people Of
a city, town or county are utterly in
different as to what is done with gam
bling, neither the attorney general, the
press, nor the local officers, find much
encouragement in their attempt to
suppress the vice.
If gambling can be suppressed it
should be done. II allowed to exist
then the state should get some revenue
from it. No doubt grating" is car
ried on in some of the large cities Of
the state. 1t is said that some of the
proprietors of gambling houses have
expressed a preference of paying a
license of 5000 per month rather than
submit to a graft"
While it would seem to be bad policy
for the state to recognize gambling by
establishing a system of licenses, yet
it could hardly be much worse than
the present conditions under which
1t is allowed to exist.
1t is to be hoped that this commit
tee will be provided with every Means
for accomplishing something when it
starts on its tour Of investigation. But
it may run up against the same snags
that have confronted Attorney General
Donovan.

The bill of Representative Miller of
Lewis and Clarke looking to the con
solidation of the clerical force of the
different state boards seems to be
in the direction Of economy without
~endangering efficient service. This
move in the interest of economy was
brought to the attention of the legisla.
ture by Secretary of State Hays and
by him shown that there was less than
a hundred days work all told before
these boards in n year and that the
work could be performed by one man.
Fearful of losing their jobs the clerks
affected have gone to lobbying and
there is said to be danger of the Miller
bill being defeated. If the present
Legislature is going to make a record
for economy here is a good chance to
begin.

Weeds

Consumption is a human
weed hourishing 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. If
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
rigidly regular in your treat
mcnt you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

There was a report current in Glen.
dive last week to the effect that a
committee of North Dakota legisla-
tors were in that city a few days ago
for the purpose of taking steps to the
formation of a new state to be made
up from a large slice of the eastern
part OF Montana and a similar expanse
OF territory from the west side Of
North Dakota, with Glendive as the
capital. or course, this may have been
all a pipe dream, but IL the day ever
comes when central and eastern Mon
tana can be segregated from Silver

an officer felt disposed to do so.
There is no question but what ten
cents a mile is too high, considering
that passenger rates have been re-
duced to three cents a mile on the rail
roads of this state. and sheriffs ride
on passes. or course, the fare on
stage coaches is much higher. But
few sheriffs are compelled to travel
by coach in order to reach the peni-

The Home Industry association Of

necessity of supplying the home mar.
ket with their products. II "a be
done and will be done at no distant
day. Thousands of dollars are sent
out every year for products that could
just as well be raised in Montana and
the money retained at home. Even
ii there has been but little encourage
ment TO the farmers of Fergus county
in the past they should be awake to
the opportunities that will be present
ed in the future and take advantage
of them. Everything that can be rails.
ed on the farm should be turned into
money. Diversified farming has prov.
ed the best in every state. II is rarely
ever that a failure occurs in all pro-
ducts. To trust to two or three is
dangerous and unwise. To extend the
variety may mean greater arr and la.
Tor but the harvest brings greater com.
pensation. This home industry move
ment is a good one. even though some
radical views are expressed by some of
its advocates. Push il along.

AMENDING THE BOUNTY LAW.

Representative holman Of Carbon
county has introduced a bill
In the legislature amending the anil
NAL bounty law which has some very
good features. The bill repeals the
present bounty of 81 on Mountain lions
but retains that of S. on wolves and
coyotes and their pups. 1t also short
ems the length of time in which boun-
ty may be claimed after the killing
from ninety to sixty days, compels
the exhibition OF the entire skin, in
Guiding both the upper and lower jaws
and changes the form of affidavit to
be presented to the county clerk by
eliminating the words, "or caused to
be killed." thus compelling the appli-
cant for bounty to show that he him
self killed the animal. Instead OF the
oath of two resident freeholders, Rep
resentative Tolman's bill requires the
affidavit of two resident s~tockgrow-
ers," and continuing making the afr
davit read that these st~ockgrowers re-
side in the vicinity in which the ami
NAL was killed: that they are taxpay-
ers on livestock within the county;
that they are personally acquainted
with the person presenting the skin,
and that to their certain knowledge.
said person was engaged in hunting
or trapping in that certain locality,
giving the date thereof.
Tolman's bill also adds the follow
ing clause to section 3O71: 1T shall
be the duty of the stock commission.
err of each county. together with a
stock inspector furnished by the
board of the stock commissioners of
each county, together with a stock in
spector furnished by the board of
stock commissioners, as provided in
section 1870 of the political code, to
carefully examine the records herein
after provided for at any time they
may so select, but not less than twice
each year, and If they have reason to
believe any of the provisions of this
act have been evaded or violated to
obtain the bounty unlawfully, the
said stock commissioners shall at once
notify the county attorney of the coun-
ty in which such inspection is made,
and also the secretary of the board of
stock commissioners"
The only amendment made to Sec
ton 3076 of the present law is an in.
crease of the special annual tax levy
on livestock valuation, raising the
amount from three to four mills.
The change eliminating "or caused
to be killed" and providing for two
resident freeholders" and the clause
relating to the duty of stock inspectors
will aid materially in preventing fraud.
There is no question but the matter
of requiring competent proof of kill
ling has been neglected. The gener.
al knowledge that a man has been en-.
gagged in "wolfing'' may have been suf.
flcient in many cases This require
ment of proof should he made even
stronger IL possible.
