MRS. HOAR'S DEATH

Though the wife of Senator IIoar was
not one OF those women who occupied
large place in the public eye. though she
was little known outside OF the intimate
family circle her sudden death last night
at Boston will cause genuine and sincere
grief throughout the country. From all ac-
counts. charming and intellectual woman,
OF the highest type OF American woman
hood. Mrs lloar was content to devote
her life to home making rather than TO
striving for leadership in so-caled society
or in frrthering iads or organizations. But
the sorrow over her death is none the
less widespread for this. The fact that
one Of the most distinguished and patiotic
men in American public life has been be-
rcavcd is sufficient to cause mourning in
the land.
Few men stand so high in the respect
OF their fellow eountrymen as Senator
lIoar. The best evidence OF his purity
OF motives and rugged patriotism is found
in the fact that he does not hesitate to
array himself against. his own political
| party when he feels he is right The
| matter OF the correctness of his judg-
| ment in these instances aside, even his
most severe critics admit his honesty in
them and are forced to give him credit
| for the courage OF his convictions There
! is perhaps no living American who is en-
titled to higher honors than he for distin-
guishcd public services. His public life
has extended over an extraordinarily long
period OF American history making, and
through it all he has been leader His
| title TO classification as statesman is sound.
For these reasons the sympathy OF the
American people 50 out to him in his hour

these tears on the part of the Sun and
the opponents of General Wood.
Some light is shed on the controversy
by letter from General Wood, which
was written some time ago to a friend
who, very properly, has now made it
public. 1t contains tersc and specific de-
tails of close intimacy with Bellairs, of
having granted favors to Bellars, of hav-
ing been instrumental in securing promo
ton for Bcllairs--the things that had been
charged against General Wood. Really,
no denial was necessary, for the charges
were silly, far from grave and unworthy
Of any attention. 1t is as well, however,
that General Wood has set them at rest.
Perhaps the cowardly assailants OF his
character will cease their talk on this point

GRAND JURY INVESTIGATIONS

Presumably when the citizens who have
been drawn for grand jury purposes ap-
pear in Judge IIarney's court tomorrow,
the public as well as the jurors will be
enlightened with respect TO the character
OF oifenscs which have made the services
OF a grand jury necessary in the judgment
OF the court. The county commissioners,
in recognition OF certain rumors and gos-
sip affecting their official character and
reputation, requested Judge McClernan TO
call grand jury to learn the facts. Judge
McClernan declined TO act. for the stated
reason that he was informed that Judge
IIarney already had the subject Of a grand
jury under consideration. The last named
Judge has taken action, and the jurors are
TO report in his court tomorrow.
Whatever the scope Of the work outlined
for this jury to perform may be, II is hoped
that they will bring TO the important task
assigned them honesty Of purpose and the
thoroughness Of action which will make
their proceedings n real public service If
officials have earned the penalties of crim-
nal laws. instead of the appreciation of
their constituents in the conduct Of their
public duties, the fact cannot be known
too soon for the public welfare. On the
other hand if honest officials have been
magned, or attempts made by attacks
upon them TO distrac, public attention from
others more plainly culpablc, grand jury
should be able to learn the truth. and to
right the wrong. In any event. the sense
OF official responsibility to the public and
to the laws may be emphasized in every
possible and proper manner in this COM
munity without fear of other than desir-
able results

WOOD AND BELLAlRS

Every now and again some opponent of
the administration, some one OF that band
OF issue-chasers now snarling at the repu-
tation OF General Wood while that officer
is fighting the battles of his country on
the opposite side of the globe, says some
thing about one Edgar G.. Belars. Bel
lairs once was a convict; later, having
served his term, he induced highly re-
spectacle news gathering association to
take him into its employ during the Span
ish-American war. 1t did so not knowing
his past history He did good work as a
war correspondent and received promo
ton. Later the New York Sun, which
conducts a rival press association, un-
earthcd Bellars' record as felon and, in
an attempt to slander its rival, published
that record to the world. Now it is be-
ing rehashcd again on the prctense that
this man Belairs, who long ago was forced
out OF honest employment as newspaper
man by the Sun expose, was the intimate
friend and particular crony Of General
Wood in Cuba.

manner is far-fetched. The fact that there
is nothing against Bellars but his past
record-it is not charged that he acted
dishonesty in his employment as re-
porter Of cvents-is something that might
be mentioned incidentally SO might the
fact that Wood knew absolutely nothing
about Bellairs' criminal career Both of
these, however, are overlooked by Woods
critics. "He consorted with felon," shout
these noisemakcrs, "hence he must be q
bad man."
As a matter of fact there has neye,
been the slightest thing to justify the
association Of the names of Wood and
Bellairs save that Wood, while in higl
position in Cuba, was ordinarily polite tc
an accredited newspaper man. That he
was not equally polite to the representative
of the Sun is not even charged. It Is
possible that Bellairs was more enter.

continue their Christmas joys for no bet

the man on the farm.
In meditating upon the beautiful thought
that God made the country, and man
made the town" it is just as well to re-
member that God did not build the
ugly rail fences, straw sheds, or
chilly habitations in the country,
and that he does not plant the
crops, pick the potato bugs, pay for
failed crops or do the chores. We venture
the opinion that there is not a wage Garner

several years" and who has practiced as
careful and painstaking economy, deprived
himself Of as many Of the luxures of life

position to buy almost any ordinary farm

FRIDAY, DECEMBER IS. 1903,
INDUSTRY OR CRIME?

Inspection OF the Michael Dewitt mining
claim yesterday, as ordered TO be made by
Judge Beatty OF the United States Court,
confirmed the belief that the United Court
and Copper Corporation crowd were de-
pleting that property Of its rich ores, in
defiance Of court orders, and without cs-
tablished rights of ownership. The work
OF inspection is not completed, and the full
extent OF the lawless operations has not
been asccrtaincd. Indeed it may be never
asccrtained, owing 10 the difficulty in irac-
ing the ores, and III part to the destruction
OF workings done by the operators in ef-
forts to destroy evidence OF their wrong
doing.
Reasons for the desperate efforts OF
lleinze and his associates, in aud out of
court, 10 prevent inspection OF the mining
operations carried on through the Rarus
mine workings are thus made plain. At
tempis to jugglc the evidence and shift re-
sponsibilty before Judge Beatty. require no
further explanation. The unprecedented
arguments OF Judge Mediation. in jusifica-
tion OF his plea that his clients could not
be compelled to furnish evidence to incrim-
mate themselves by permitting the inspcc-
ton OF property in the care of the court
when they were charged with contempt of
court through despoiling such property, in
fagrant dsobedence OF specific orders Of
the court, find some justification in the
ascertained facts Apparently it was the
only argument and the only defense posi-
ble by those with knowledge Of the actions
Of the defendants.
II these IIcinzc methods OF mining can
be sustained and continued in Montana, the
usual and more honest methods will have
to be abandoned. Instead OF purchasing
mines al their established value with re-
spect to their development and security of
title, all that will be necessary will be to
sink a shaft adjacent to the richest dis
covered veins, tap the ore at convenient
levels, carry II out through the new work
ings, deny entrance to their property to
the mine owners whom you are robbing.

FARMERS AND THE REST OF US

Stand upon any street corner of
Butte, we quote from letter by Mr..
W. NJ. Woodbridge, who is conspicuously
interested in agriculture il not in agri-
cultural lands--"whcn the 6 o'clock whistle
blows and watch the hundreds of work
men hurrying to their respective stations,
and ask yourselves how many OF these
could provide the necessities OF life for
themselves and families for any length
of time if out OF employment. Compare
their condition with that of the most in
different farmer OF our rural districts
he has plenty to eat for himself and
family, enough to wear to keep out the
cold, even il not the latest cut of fashion,
and house over his head and fuel in
plenty; his children attend school, and
in all probability are as far advanced in
their studies as children residing in the
large towns or cities. Those farmers
who have been established several years
will be found enjoying comforts Of which
the wagc-ca -carners does not even dare
dream"
The importance of agriculture cannot
be too often impressed upon the people,
and it is not easy to oyer-estimate it.
The farmer is a good citizen as rule,
and it is pleasant to learn that he has
| nice time in the world. As the old
grange song used to run:
| "IIis patent was granted in Eden, long ages
and ages ago;
The Farmer, the Farmer, Forever! Thre.
| cheers for the plow, spade and hoe"
But it is not necessary to exaggerate the
| joys of farm life III order to find occu,
| pants for the comparatively small acreage
! OF unoccupied land in this country suitable
| for farm purposes Certainly there is nc
excuse for preaching discomfort among
| people who are doing we'll in other
branches of industry or for inviting the
wellpaid wage earners of Montana to dis
