CHANGE IN LAW FIRM.
Cort & Worden Dissolve, Huntoon
Worden & Smith Succeeding.


Announcement was made this noon
that the law firm of Cort & Worden,
for many years prominently identified
with the bar of the Tenth district, had
been dissolved.
Succeeding to all the interests of
the firm of Cort G. Worden Is the new
firm of Huntoon, Worden & Smith.
The senior member, Mr.. Huntoon. is
well known. practiced law many years
in Great Falls and for two years has
been in charge of large woolgrowing
interests at Utica. Mr.. Worden be-
comes a member of the new firm and
the third Is w. II. Smith, late of Great
Falls, but who located in Lewistown
a month since. The partnership
should be a strong one.
Mr.. Cort says that while he retires
from the partnership with Mr.. Wor'
den he may decide to remain In Lew
istown. His wife's health has not
been good for many months and he
thinks possibly he will locate In a
lower altitude, though this has not
been determined.
The lateness of the hour prohibits
the extended mention of the change
which the prominence OF those inter
ested would warrant.

to the robber.
Twice within a month the desk In
the business office of the Argus has

thought to be by meo who had
secured a key to one of the doors, sew

Last week the desk at the Democrat

THE TYRANNY OF TIE TRUSTS.


Jefferson oounty.U MON. Gov, Hoard's PaDer.l
The government Of the United States
was conceived in u spirit of universal
liberty Reason and justice was TO be
| its foundations Our forefathers rightly
understood that tyranny usually hides
| itself in three places in the form of re-
| ligious tyr tnny in the church; IN the
/ form Of judicial tyranny where the law
and the courts are the creatures of aris-
! tocracy end in the form of commercial
| tyranny where the wants Of the people
are made the prey Of unpatriotic wealth
I In the form Of trusts. And so through
orr whole history have we heard the
voice Of liberty proclaiming freedom OF
religious worship, freedom of the indi-
vidual in speech and action; and free
dor to buy and sell These three
! guarded well, political freedom follows
as natural sequence.
! The people or the United States are
right in their feeling of hostility TO com
mercial slavery in the form Of trusts
and all selfish combinations of greedy
capital Enslayed here, quick work
will be made If their liberty elsewhere.
They have seen how this corporate cap
| ital has invaded Congress and State
/ legislatures and corrupted the very
fountains of law how 1t has brought to
bear its malign inAuents on the courts
and corrupted the administration Of law
how it has debauehed the pulpit and
silenced the tongues of subservient
| priests how 1t has fought like tiger
20 prevent justice in the form OF taxa
ton and hired leading politicians by
the thousands 10 champion and excuse
Its shameless selfishness. how it has
bought mp newspapers and editors bod.
lily and clothed orr boosted Liberty Of
the Press with the garments Of hired
prostitute.
All this encroachment on the spirit of
American freedom the people can see.
They can see also how political parties
can be debauched and used as agents in
the furthsrance of this conspiracy for
the destruction of commercial freedom
If the people will look close they will
SEQ how leading politicians can be raar-
shAlled az one man to oppose all legisla-
ton in their own behalf how corporate
wealth can corrupt their yer selves at
the ballot box and lead them Ike sheep
to their own slaughter Victor Hugo
said
Whoever says today might makes
right, performs an act of the Middle
Ages and speaks 10 men three hundred
years behind their time
The trusts mqintain their hold very
largely by their control Of the politicians
and the machinery of politics. The peo-
pie are powerless la their own house.
The movement for Primay Law
whereby every man can vote rs he
chooses in the nomination of officials is
being fought by corporate capital and
its tools, the Interested politicians, 1t
means more power for the people That
means less power for concentrated or
ganized wealth and the politicians it
has in its employ. Can we wonder at
the opposition it is creatingg

The FREE SEED CRAFT

A circular letter has been issued at
Washington for distr button throughout
the country protes eng against con-
tinuation of the free seed graft
Every spring, the members of congress
distribute aeeds among their constitu
ents. There is no more reason that the
United States government should sup
ply a part of tue people with garden
seeds tia2 there is that it should distrib-
ute raw oysters Gr picked pigs feet
As or ginally designed. the free seed
distribr ton had much to commend it.
The purpose of the originators of the
plan was to have the department of
agriculture conduct experiments with
view Of introducing new plants, grains
and vegetables in sections adapted to
their growth Instead, however of
limiting the distribution TO rare seeds,
congress has appropriated large sums
Of money with whiah to purchase ordi-
nary field and garden seeds and there
are being distributed seeds that may be
purchased at any corn -r grocery.
II the public benefited by the distrib-
ution there might be justification for
it, hut ~ it is, only u comparatively
small part of the people receive seeds,
while the whole of the people are called
upon to pay for them It is a congress
sional graft that should be abolished
but which IS not likely to be abandoned

butes among his constituents the better
