LEGISLATIVE DOINCS.
Continued from page ~

the name of the deaf and dumb
asylum.
There was no opposition to the Mil
Ter judicial bill.
Self sent up and read a petition
protesting against the passage of the
bill signed by a number of members
Of the bar association. Letters were
also read from Judges Smith and
Clements in regard to the bill. They
each said that they had been quoted
as saying the number of judges in
the county could be reduced without
detriment to the interests of the
county. Emphatic denials were made
OF the statements. Miller said it was
little remarkable that no one was
opposing the bill but the lawyers.
Last year" said Miller, "one of
the judges went east and spent about
| four months. The other has been
| east also. and. in addition, he has
gone all over the state, holding court
| for other judges and making a repu-
tation for himself. He is an excel
lent gentleman, but if he had more
| work to do he would not be able to
| travel so much
The last bill considered was num-
Der 112, appropriating $57,25s.59 to
pay the Montana Building company
for extra labor and material on the
state capitol. Miller moved that it
be favorably reported, and there was
but one protest. by Self. He said he
was not sure in his own mind that
| the bill was constitutional.
Conner, chairman of the appropria-
ton committee, explained the bill.

from Ravalli. that there is misap-
prehension in the minds of some

OF O'Neill. no comments are neceS-
sary. He is generally conceded to be
the champion of the west, and his
reputation extends all over the coun-
try. He has numerous friends here
who are willing to back him to any
extent. 1t is conceded. however,
that he will hardly be able to show
his true form in the coming contest
on account of the short time in
which to prepare. especially as he
has done no wrestling for several
years.
This will be the most important
event in the athletic line in several
: years, and will no doubt draw a
crowded house.

A good story is being told at the
expense of a dentist residing in the
suburbs of Portland. A few nights
ago the gentleman and his wife, some
hours after retiring, We're suddenly
awakened by hearing a sound of
crashing glass in the rooms below.
The man was confident that burglars
We're entering the house and was for
going below and graphing with them.
His wife demonstrated and declared
that her husband should not risk his
life in a conflict with the bold, bad
burglars. For some minutes the couple
were undecided what action to pur-
sue. Suddenly q happy thought struck
the man. There was q telephone in
he sleeping apartment and. stepping
to it, the dentist rang up the head
quarters of the Portland police and in
formed the officers in charge that
burglars were in his house and their
presence was desired post haste. 1t
was long past the hour of the last
trolley car and two husky police Off
GERS spent an hour walking to the
residence of the dentist. They forced
an entrance and upon examination
found that a plate glass mirror, which
mad been placed upon a table in tie
hallway, had fallen down, and the
glass in it had been broken to bits.
Simply that and nothing more.

The origin Of this sobriquet was an ex-

learned Doctors lectures. In speaking to
his senior class on the subject of the Sc
lection of prepared foods for patients. he
said: People have been endowed with

a useful purpose. An offensive odor in
food is danger signal. and the nose
should be on guard. IN Duylng cereals
you should not only look at them, but you
should also smell them. Many products OF

and become unfit for food in short time

Sunday Baseball Next?

Sunday baseball is moving eastward,
and the decision of a New York judge,
last week, that it is a perfectly legal
and harmless amusement for Sunday
recreation is not without its signifi-
canoe as showing the trend of the
times. Sunday ball games have long
been played in the cities of the West,
even in the big leagues, but out there
Sunday horse racing and Sunday
theatres are also the usual order of
things. If Sunday baseball is to be al
lowed in New York, it will soon be
played in New England, and after the
first outburst Of opposition it will be
tolerated and the defenders of the old
time Sabbath will have to withdraw to
some other line of defense.
The old-fashioned Puritan Sunday
has suffered some rude knocks in re-
cent years. When the bicycle attained
its great popularity, there was vigor-
Gus cutlery against it's use on Sunday.
Now a bicycle attracts no more notice
on Sunday than on any other day,
though its use on all days is much less
than formerly. Then there was the
battle against Sunday golf, but now
golf is played on the links around the
big cities without interference from
the police or comment from those who
do not play. Sunday fishing has long
been a goodnatured joke, though in
this State, at least, Sunday is "a close
time when the law, as well as the Sab
bath. is broken by the fisherman.
However. he doesn't mind as long as
he has good luck and is left alone by
the wardens and officers.
With the traditions of the Sunday of
an earlier generation so far lost sight
Of. that the Sunday bicycle, Sunday
golf, Sunday excursions and Sunday
fishing are accepted things, it will not
be a long step to Sunday baseball.
viii it stop there or will Sunday horse
races and Sunday theatres follow as in
the West? 1t is hard to say where the
dissertation of the day will end There
have been signs of reaction, but
they can hardly stem the tide, even
here in New England. In the mean
while. church congregations become
smaller, particularly in the number of
men.

The Anti. Mercer Decision.

1t looks as though Wall street has
recovered from the firsh shock of the
decision against the Northern Securi-
ties Company, and is finally inclined to
take better balanced view of the con-
sequences. In his weekly letter Henry
Clews. the banker says that it is now
recognized that while this decision is
likely to be confirmed by the Supreme
Court of the United States, and while
it will force financial leaders to ADAM
don the contemplated series of mergers,
Como other more lawful method will be
found of preventing suicidal COMPETE
ton between the railroads. The first
object of this Northern Securities plan
was to give the community-of-inter
idea some permanent form, it being
recognized that shippers wanted stable
and reasonable rates, while stockhold-
ers considered themselves entitled to
fair returns There is no question but
that these objects can be secured by
less Objectionable and by more legal
methods than through the Northern
Securities Company or the security
holding corporation. The latter device
possessed highly dangerous possibili-
ties. Carried to the extreme, it would,
in time, place the whole railroad sys-
TEN of the United States in control of
very few men; in fact single master
mind might control the whole. Such
a possibility is staggering. If power
of this sort fell into the hands of men
not to be trusted, what would be the
consequence? And how would the
masses of voters in the United States
view the growth of power within the
United States rivalling and capable of
defying the national government? 1t
is quite unnecessary to go farther.
Says Mr.. Clews, THE Northern Sc
curities Company if sustained by the
courts. would certainly have resulted
first in wholesale mergers of railroad
and other corporations; then a specula-
tive boom of unknown dimensions
would have followed; and this would
Just as surely have been succeeded by
violent political disturbances and
stock market reactions, the conse-
quences of which no one could predict.
There can be no doubt, now that sober
second thought has the sway, that this
decision has saved the country from
serious financial and political eX-
cesses For time Wall Street would
have enjoyed high degree of seeming
prosperity, a sort of speculative de-
bauch. the penalty for which would
fall chiefly not upon it's promoters but
upon investment classes and the people
at large. Our escape is a subject for
honest self-congratulatiOn.'
