IOung Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.

easy way out of the difficulty.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

The greeting extended to President
Roosevelt by the people of Montana
through two Of their representative
cities has not been surpassed by any
other state in the Union. What was
lacking in numbers was more than
made good in genuine enthusiasm
and hospitality. From the presidential
party came the statement that not
since ii left Milwaukee had 1t seen
such crowds. enthusiasm and elaborate
preparations. unless an exception be
made of San Francisco, than were
witnessed at Butte.
The people OF Helena gave the pres.
ident a most cordial reception. Many
business houses and residences were
decorated with flags and bunting and
thousands of people crowded the
streets and capital grounds to see and
hear him. The school children were
strongly in evidence and greatly pleas
ed the head of the nation by their
songs and cheers. But the program in
Helena might have been arranged a
little better, There was some fric-
tion and misunderstanding which was
partly due to a lack of harmony. the
young and ambitious mayor of that
city apparently desiring to be the
whole thing" It was painfully evi.
dent that the president did not like
the situation. for when freed from his
obligation to the reception commit
tee he gave an informal and hearty
reception to a number of men of pc.
litical prominence in the state, some
of them accompanying him to Butte
at his own request. The president
evidently had but little regard for q
man who would use such an occasion
to boost his own political fortunes. II
was mighty small politics, to say the
least.
But Butte, wicked as she is, was
good on Presidents day. In fact al
factions laid their differences aside
and gave President Roosevelt a re

The great, plain, persistent, un-

Commissions report is the huge
and perilous folly of the trouble
that brought the commission into
being.
So easily it found its report; so
easily it struck middle ground
where, by making concession on
both sides, practical working
basis was reached; so easily it
swept aside the fabrications of the
mine owners!
Why then was there II strike
Why should it not have been as
feasible to find this middle ground

Why should the country have
been made to endure this fright

the cold and privation, the damage
to business and industry, the un-

vented it.
"There is nothing to arbitrate, "
reiterated these long-eared don
keys over and over again: "there
is nothing to arbitrate." The
country threatened with one of the
great disasters in it's history and
"nothing to arbitrate." Thous-
ands of people likely to freeze and
many more thrown out of work
and there was "nothing to arbi-
trate." Monstrous suffering at
hand in thousand communities
and there was ''nothing to arbi-
trate."

yond controversy that there was
much to arbitrate, because it has
been arbitrated, and its arbitra-

for it and the mallet- headed

to being robbed that we should
not know what to do with our
nancy if the robbery were stopped.
If we could get coal or ride on a
railroad or buy beef or eat salt
or burn oil or wear clothes or ride
on street car without paying
tribute to some gang of highway
men we should be lost in the novel
ty of it.
We must have Baers, we must
have men to plumber us, we must
have the natural recources Of the
country il the hands of men especi-
ally privileged to use them as
means of extortlon. In other
countries coal mines, railroads,
gas works, street car lines, tele-
graphs and telephones are owned
and run by the people. None of
that for us. We know what we
want and the thing that we want
most of all is the privilegs of pay
ing a billion dollar strike and,
next to that, the privilege of pri-
vate ownership of public affairt-
But dear and delightful as these
things are, sweet as is the boon of
the Baers and their kind, much
as we love billion dollar strikes
| and traction bosses and tribute
paying all down the line, we may
not always like them. In fact,
| there are some reasons to think
that we shall not like them very
much longer. Therefore we think
that the next time Mr.. Baer or
any or his faith are met with re-
quest to arbitrate, it will be best
to arbitrate. They can still talk,
if they wish, about their divine
right and the matters that Provi-
dence in His wisdom has commit
ted to their absolute rule and arbi-
trate at the same time. Any way
it will be best to arbitrate. AS u
nation we can stand great deal
of sublimated tomfoolery, but bll-
lion dollar strikes seem rather too
much of a good thing and we doubt
if many more will be partaken of
with relish.
The way to stop'all these things,
also, is too plain and straight. We
know quite well that with public
ownership of public utilities there
would be no strikes, no coal short
age, no interference with business,
no tribute paying, no bossing by
corporations, no corrupt interfer-
ence with legislation, no robbery,
no piracy, no special privileges
for favorite few. And with a
few more object lessons at thump-
ing price for tuition we are quite
likely to apply this simple, easy
and effective remedy. Whereup-
on Mr.. Baer is likely to find that
there are worse things than arbi-
trating dispute or recognizing a
miners union.

But this is only small part of
the money loss. Add to this the
damage to business and manufac-
turing, the losses occasioned by
the increase price of hard coal In
the East, the losses occasioned by
the increased price Of soft coal in
the West, the money stolen from
the public by Mr.. Rockefeller S
Standard Oil Company when he
put up the price of oil at time of
general necessity, the money stolen
by the railroad companies that
followed Mr.. Rockefeller's gener-
GUS example-add all these tegeth-
er and it will be seen that this
country has paid probably a bill
lion dollars for the privilege of
letting Mr.. Baer assume that he
had a divine right to be a blather-
ing idiot.
One billion dollars that's all.
The Baer luxury comes high, the
luxury of having public utilities
owned by private greed is pretty
dear, the luxury of having public
necessities football for private
spectators is costly, but we must

them. Other people may be able

barons and railroad pirates and
