Finlay M'Rae's Record as a County
Officer.

| . uUb0y AVA t<0S > NC&Obu 10 q ~OOuty
Officer.
Finlay McRae, the democratic candi
date for clerk of the supreme court, is
clerk of the court for Lewis and
Clarke county. At the end of each
year since he has been in Office MIR
McRae has had a tabulated statement
made of the work done in his office
during the year. He himself inaugu.
rated this practice in his office, SO that
the public may judge of the amount
of work done, the fees received, etc.
The amount of work has increa >ed
largely during Mr.. McRae's incum-
bency, but he has no more deputies
than his republican predecessor had
eight years ago.
That this increased amount Of work
has been we'll done is The opinion of
all who have business with his office.
The Helena Independent of January
2, 1902, published Mr.. McRae's report
for 1901, and published the comment
by Judge Henry c. Smith, a republi-
can, who has now been on the Lewis
and Clarke bench almost eight years:
II will undertake to say that the Of
fee was never in better shape than it
is today, and that there is not a clerks
Office in the United States that is in
better condition.
The Independent also published this
statement by Judge J. Nj. Clement,
who has been on the bench almost
four years:
'Mr. McRae and his deputies have
model office. 1t is kept in such
shape as to win the commendation of
those who have business with that de-
Partment."
Among the duties of the state exam
iner is that of examining the offices of
all the clerks of the courts in Mon
tana, so he knows their methods and
efficiency. In his report to the COM
missioners of Lewis and Clarke couu-
ty, October z, 1908, State Examiner
Hudnall said of Mr., McRae's work:
'The Office of the clerk of the dis
trict court is one of the best conducted
in Montana. Innumerable details are
Systematically handled, with excellent
checks against errors, and regard for
service to the public. The use of the
car d system for recording judgments
has just been inaugurated. By it rec
ords scattered through many years
will be so condensed that the public
can in five minutes ascertain what
hitherto required hours Of search"
Finlay McRae is the man we want
to keep the records in the office of
clerk of the supreme court.

land were made 10 railway enterprises
and the vast domain was set aside
for the support OF different, state in
stitutions, the bulk Of it comprising a
permanent school fund.
In the early sos three million acres
were traded to a syndicate of Chi.
cago capitalists for the erection of a
capitol at Austin, the land being
rated at fifty cents an acre. This deal
had the effect of attracting people
and capital from the north and the
sheep and cattle industry received a
great impetus, and lands were in de-
mand. BY the time the capitol was
completed in 1883, the land was sell,
ing at from So to IS per acre.
Much of the public land of the
state is leased to stock men. although
it is subject to sale to actual settlers
on thirty years time. Large portions
of it are valuable only for grazing
as the rainfall is too scant for agri-
cultural purposes.

EXIT LAW.

The act of the legislature creating
a plumbers board with power to
make rules and regulations has been
declared null and void.
Under its provisions all persons,
whether plumbers or not plumbers
were prohibited from doing any
plumbing.
While that is ridiculous, there are
plumbing laws in some states that
are nearly as contradictory as that.
Under those laws no person but a
licensed plumber is allowed to buy
or have plumbing material, or buy a
tap, or own a plumbing tool.
1t is almost a crime in California
to have a monkey-wrench around the
house, If 1t can be shown that it was
ever set to plumbing joint.
Some reasonable regulation of
plumbing is probably necessary, and
sanitary interests require reasonable
inspection.
But it should never be made so
stringent that no one can buy plumb.
ing material unless he is a member
of the plumbers union.
Such legislation should never be
passed and the next legislature should
scrutinize carefully all bills to create
new boards of all sorts.

IL Recent Years s~,,o "a 90 I,.ftsst,
Judge Reagan counseled thst con-
cessions should be made. = The
wisdom of his advice showed
clearly forth when he brought e.
view a notable precedent, where
in the party, as time had shown,
wisely made concessions.
Following the Civil war, said
Judge Reagan, the people of the
South were very much misunder-
stood. 1t was quite commonly be-
lieved in the Northern states that
they contemplated the overthrow
of the government. Horace Gree
ley, although he had proven HIM
self a friend to the South, enter
tanned many pronounced views
Numerically opposed to those of
the Southern people, and yet the
democratic party in 1872 accepted
him as its candidate for president.
The occasion demanded sacrifices
in order that the people of the
South might get respectful
hearing in the North. Mr.. Gree
ley was defeated for president,
but the South in supporting him
secured the attention of the Nor
them people, and carried to them
conviction that Southern motives
and intentions had been misrepre-
scented.
The argument is conclusive. If,
As Judge Reagan declares, and we
believe, Democratic success and
the triumph'of the cardinal prin-
ciples of Democracy are essential
to the preservation of Il free and
just government of the people,
then there seems abundant reason
for concessions as to politics and
other kinds of patriotic self-sac-
rifice at this time.-Galveston

THE WEEvlL.

The following from Mr.. B. w.
Marston from Bee county, is
taken from Farm and Ranch:
visited the cotton at BeevilIe
which we poisoned two weeks ago,
and it had the appearance of a
flower garden, it was so full of
blossoms and squares. Other cot
ton near there, not poisoned, was
bare of any fruit whatever. Yet
members of the Texas Commission
at FIoresville, | see, are reported
in the papers to have said that
paris green did little good. l met
the gentlemen there and the wind
was SO high that no work could be
perfectly done. ! proposed if the
owner of the field pay the expenses
(charges nothing for my OWN to
take charge of his poisoning and
make a test case of it. But little
if anything was done.
How any member of the COM
mission could report anything rs
accomplished, / can't see. Ger
tainly Mr.. Houston's field spoke
for itself. 1t had been poisoned
for five weeks and showed Wig
orous growth of bolls, blossoms
and forms, while fields that were
not poisoned showed a total de-
struction. The commission did
not seem to understand this, but
it showed as plain to me as the
nose on a mans face. But the
test of this whole business is IA
crop.
Thousands of people are now
using my remedy for poisoning
cotton and if they make crops and
their neighbors fail, who will not
poison, | suppose the tale will be
told. After two months of obser-
walton / am as sanguine as ever
that paris green, properly applied,
will destroy the weeyil and enable
any one to make a crop who uses
it

BRYAN'S POSITION.

There is nothing strange in
Bryan's position, as the HERALD
sees it. 1t is perfectly natural,
first, that as a good democrat,
honestly and sincerely inter-
ested in the welfare of his
party, he should be Jealous of
whose hands it falls into, and,
second, being human he has a
right to feel bitter toward the men
who by their treachery twice de-
feated him for the presidency. If
the New York aggregation, who
are promoting Parker, had been
democrats in 1896 and in 1900,
Bryan would be president today.
Bryan is in large company when
he distrusts Belmont, Hill and the
rest of the Wall street gang.
Even the New York World says
these are the same men, who with
Cleveland, formed and carried out
the great bond conspiracy and
looted the U. S. treasury of mil
lions of dollars. The World dis
trusts them, and while protesting
a strong liking for Parker, raises
a warning finger against the gang
who are backing him in New
York. As an evidence of the
feeling against the gang in their
own state, thousands and thou
sands of people were unable to
crowd into Union Square last
Monday night to hear Bryan
speak in opposition to the trust
movement and its candidate.
