BREEDERS OF SOCIALISM.

New York Tribune: The chief
teachers of socialism in this country
are those who have ostentatiously
paraded their power under present
conditions to c~onjure enormous
wealth from combinations, from
trusts, from water, from railroad dis
elimination, from legislative favor.
When people see vast corporations
built up by secret contracts with COM
mon carriers in violation of law, when
they see other corporations permit
ted by ill-adjusted tariff duties to sell
their goods here for so much that it
is profitable to purchase abroad those
same goods manufactured here m
freight them back, it is no wonder
that they grow discontinued. We
firmly believe that a plunge into So
cialism would be the ruin OF this
country. It's salvation must be found
in free initiative and enterprise as
of old. Whatever seems to large bod
les of the people to trench upon thai
freedom by granting special privi-
leges tends to provoke demands for
such regulation Of equality as will
kill such individualism and enter
prise. Those who stand as leaders
of the recent great developments OF
private enterprise should be the first
TO use their power, with moderation,
and, above all things, should remove
every ground of complaint, if they
wish to see long-continued the indus
BILE this country's phenomenal growth
in wealth.

surface, made so plain that all may
understand it, regardless of whom
may be injured thereby. The machin-
cry placed at the disposal of those
whose duty it is to probe into the
nasty mess is powerful enough to
make it effective and now that inquir-
les have been instituted in both di-
rections they should be prosecuted to
the end. Let justice and righteous
ness prevail and let no guilty n es-
cape, whether it be a Judge or an at
torney practicing before that judge.
The people demand nothing except
that which is right and this demand
should be needed.

PROBE TO THE BOTTOM.

Thanks to a republican house OF
representatives there is going to be
an investigation into the manner in
which at least one of the courts OF
Silver Bow county has been conduct
ed and the state is to know whether
any truth exists in the many charges
of judicial corruption and malfeasance
which have been banded back and
forth until the people have become
nauseated. The high nature OF the
body before whom the trial will take
place is guarantee sufficient that the
inquiry will be fair, honest and thor
ough and if proved guilty that Judge
Harvey will be dealt with in the man
mel he deserves.
Too long have the courts of Silver
Bow been the objects OF suspicion
and the faint that has been caused
to attach to the actions OF some Oh
them has been a disgrace to the state.
The Gazette will not say that all that
has beer said about them and charged
against them is true, but the fact re
mains that they have not been regard
ed with that esteem in which courts
should be held and have no enjoyed
tie respect and confidence of litigants
and the public that should be com
manded by the courts. The same may
be said concerning some OF the men
who practice before those courts. The
Judge who is now on trial before the
people of the state caused to be In
stituted proceedings against some OF
the lawyers of his court, which, II
successful will result in their disbar'
ment. In turn he is arraigned, the
one being the outcome of the other,
and all are in a position where they
must nrove their innocence or abide
by the consequences. Some may say
that where there are SO many charges
and counter charges there must be

the country demands that something

that no administration is strong
enough to go before the people for
endorsement which has not been
able to do what it has promised to
do. There are plenty of men in con-
gress who see the situation as it is,
and there is an aroused public senti-
ment throughout the country behind
the president. But it is now doubt
full if his personal efforts will suffice
to secure anything at this session,
an extra session is always extremely
hazardous if the opposition is defiant,
and when the next regular session
meets, it will be on the eve of the
presidential campaign. 1t is not too
early for a strong expression of pub
lie sentiment. Something should be
done at this session, and no ordinary
excuse should be allowed to pass
for the members of either house who
fail to respond to the presidents
call. The republicans of the nation
should make a demand on this con.

THE oBsTREPERous KAISER.

Just what it is does not appear to be
so very clear, but it is evident that
Germany has some sort of motive in
continuing to lombard the Venezue-
submit the dispute between his gov
eminent and those of the powers
claiming to have grievances againss
Verezuela and their acceptance n
truce was practically established, not
withstanding that the blockade in
stituted by Germany and Englond
still continued. Since then so far
as Venezuela has been concerned &C
tive steps have been taken to arrange
matters so as to place the question
before The Hague tribunal as speed
ily as possible. Minister Bowen, who
represents Venezuela. is even now in
this country for the purpose and has
arranged to meet the ministers of the
European governments at Washing
ton to settle the preliminaries. Eng
land has recognized the situation
and has consistently refrained to act
further with it's ally il conducting
hostilities and is awaiting the results
of the arbitration. Germany, however,
continues to lombard forts and ap-
parently is determined to keep up tho
irritation and prevent a settlement as
long as possible. In doing this the
kaiser is giving little proof of his
protested friendship for this govern
ment, neither is he emphasizing the
declaration of his new minister to
Washington that it is the aim OF the
German government to strengthen
the friendly relations existing be-
tween the two and bring about a bet
ter understanding between their re-
spective people.
Whatever plea in justification OF
his acts the kaiser may set up, he
| cannot satisfy the American people
that he is acting fairly or showing
due regard for the feelings of the
American government, whose services
in bringing about an adjustment have
been sought and which has done all
it could to restore harmony between
the contending states. The admins
tration may take the same view OF
the situation and cause it to be In
timated to the "war lord" h a a lit
tie less cannonading down along the
shores of Venezuela and more regard
for international usage might he &C
cepted as better proof of his loudly
professed friendship than the mere
expressions from himself and his
minister, who, if he is to be believed
comes at this time as a messengel
of peace and the bearer OF good VII
and amity.
