The Country Press.
WILLIAM M. BOLES,
Secretary of the Publishers Association Of
Eastern Montana in the Bozem0n
ChrOnlcle.

The meeting of the publishers of the
country newspapers along the line OF
the Northern Pacific from Bozeman
east to the Dakota line, which took
place at Billings last Saturday, may
mark the beginning Of a movement OF
no little interest to the general pub
lie, though its object was mainly a
business which the newspa-
per publishers themselves.
The country newspaper publisher
finds himself of little account when
the distribution OF state patronage
is concerned. The tendency has been
very marked of late to concentrate
offices of the great newspapers at
Butte and Helena. Letters have been
written by Attorney General Donovan
to the local boards of the various
state institutions giving it as his legal
opinion that the little jobs OF printing
they may require for their use, should
be sent to Helena, though heretofore
they have been done by the local PRINT
ing offices in the several towns where
these institutions are located, to the
manifest advantage and convenience
of the institutions mentioned.
The clerk of the supreme court has
for years sought to deprive the oun
try press of the work OF printing
lawyers briefs and solicited the pat
ronage of all attorneys, using the IL
brary of the state and the office of
the clerk of the supreme court, paid
for by the taxpayers money, to com.
pete with the country publishers who
supported him for election, and so far
as in him lies deprive them OF a part
of their means of living. Though not
a printer or the owner of a printing
office, this official, for a consideration
in cash, lends all the weight of his
state Office to the work of depriving
country printers of their legitimate
patronage and concentrating it in
printing'of1ices in the state capital.
The Worlds Fair commission, we
are informed, has appropriated $4,000
for printing and a further sum of
$1,000 for Stationery and incidentals.
This money is largely furnished by
country taxpayers, but it is likely t o
go into 1.-the cash box of one or two
or three of the big daily papers OF
Butte and Helena, though much OF the
printing could be done quite as well
and quite as cheaply in many Of the
country newspaper Offices. It is to
take cognizance Of such matters and
remedial action thereon, that this ats
sociation has been largely formed. SO
far, the purpose of the association
may be thought to concern themselves
and emily in a very general and indi-
rect way concern the interest of the
public.
There is, however, another way in
which the interests of the public are
affected by all that affects the status
of the country press. The country
press of Montana is all that remains
of a free and untrammeled public
press in the state. VIGOROUSLY the
great daily press of the state has
passed into the ownership and control
of giant corporations and multi
millionaire individuals. They are
published at an enormous yearly loss,

nearly every country publisher. 1t Is
constantly growing in keenness. A
few country newspapers, driven to the
wall by their financial necessities, are
charged with having joined the list OF
the subsidized press. Others owe
money to individuals or corporations
having an interest in politics and not
in anywise scrupulous about exerting
the power such fact gives them. Such
conditions strike a vital blow at that
liberty of the press" which Jeffer-
son and all the great statesmen since
him have recognized as the most es-
sential condition of democratic gov
eminent. The taxpayer and good citi-
zen has, then, a vital and immediate
interest in the prosperity of the un-
subsidized and free country press.
Amy tendencies that aimed at
driving them out of their field OF local
activity or compelling them to seek
aid and support from special interests
in order to live, concerns the citizen.
Emphatically it is a part Of their bust
ness If the state patronage is SO
manipulated as to discriminate in
favor Of the great daily press now
by special interests and
against the country press owned by
private citizens, whose interests are
their interests and who live among
their constituencies welding such in
fluence as moulders of public opinion
as their reputation for brains and
honesty Of purpose may give them.
Citizens of Gallatin county, eastern
Montana and the state, you can make
no better investment than to uphold
the Legitimate interests of your local
newspapers. What they gain in finan-
cial independence will be reflected in
political independence. The financially
independent country newspaper is
more apt to expose bad men and bad
inside it's own party lines
and outside Of them. 1t will be more
fearless, more effective, more useful
to you, more beneficial to the country
at large, if you put your back against
its back in every battle Tor legitimate
patronage. It is willing to fight the
battles of the people, it not discour-
aged by their Indifference, and the
isolation that often meets efforts for
and better government in city,
county, state and governmental at
fairs. The Publishers Association OF
Eastern Montana have emphatically
disclaimed any political purpose in
their organization. This is true and
honestly meant. 1t is composed OF
republicans, democrats and men of all
shades of political opinion, who could
not agree on any proposed line of po-
litical principles if they tried to do
so, yet if the organization succeeds in
carrying out it's business programme
most unquestionably such success will
have its political effect in an increase
of political independence on the part
of it's members, a thing much to be
desired from the standpoint of all
good men.

THE BOUNDARY DECISION.

THE BOUNDARY DECISION.
Like most losers, Canada is dissat-
and taking the expressions of it's
newspapers as a fair reflex of the con-
dition of the public mind across the
border it is difficult to determine to-
ward whom the feeling is the bitterer,
America or England. The complaint
made by the Canadians is that they
did not obtain justice and that to pla-
cate their powerful neighbor to the
south the mother country very anna
bly, surrendered all their rights and
cheated them out of what they say
Tightfully belonged to them. They
lhark back to the fact that when the
commission was created they said that
It's decision was foregone and that
the contentious of the United States
would be maintained and upheld.
True it is that they said this, but
it is also equally true that because
they were aware Of the righteousness
and strength of the American claims
in the premises they were prompted
into that utterance. knowledge OF the
weakness of their W ~pretensions

officers of a republican administration
to participate in political campaigns
to the extent of making speeches,
but when done by those under a dem

COMMISSIONERS DID. RIGHT.

COMMISSIONERS DID. RIGHT.
Occasionally a newspaper is still
to be found in the state that
the recent order of the commissioner
of the general land Office in regard to
certain entries made at the Great
Falls land office. 1t was to be sup
posed that for the present at least
discussion of the matter would cease,
as it has arraived at a stage where
nothing is to be gained one way or
another by discussion. Acting on in
formation that he could not ignore,
the commissioner ordered a number
of entries to be held up until inves-
tigation could be made into the char
ges of fraud preferred in connection
with them. The agent sent out from
Washington seems to have discovered
ample evidence that the charges were
not without foundation ana the COM
missioner took the only proper course
open for him. If further investiga-
ton should show that the entrymen
have complied with the law and that
no attempt was made by them to de-
fraud the government by making lille
gal proofs in support OF their entries
they can rest assured that nothing
will be done to deprive them OF that
to which they have a lawful and
proper claim. Should it be shown, on
the other hand, that there has been
perjury and deceit, those guilty OF it
will not be wronged if they are forced
to vacate the land they are holding.
The most that may be said is that
some innocent persons will be com
PEELED to wait longer before patent is
issued to them for their land. This
can hardly be characterized as a great
hardship, for they will lose nothing.
Commissioner Richards is a western
man and as sucn fully understands the
conditions obtaining in the west with
regard to the public lands. He is
himself a large owner OF land title to
which he secured from the govern
ment and knows the prerequisites es-
sential to the securing OF patents
under any of the existing land laws.
1t cannot be charged against him,
as has been against some OF his pre-
decessors, that his action is based up
on an eastern mans preconceived
notions and that he considers every
person settling on lands belonging to
the government as a conspirator and
rascal who is seeking to obtain by
fraud and deceit something to which
he has no right. Those who have been
inveighing against him should suspend
judgment and await the results of
the Investigations now making. The
commissioner will see to it that every
one. shall have an equal and exact
justice in the premises and that wrong
shall be done neither to the settler
nor the government.
