In scanning over the election re-
turns in Graham county, where
popular men were running against
popular men, in which the en-
tire democratic ticket was elected
with majorities ranging from 1874
TO 900 we find that County Re-
corder Nit Simms made the phe'
nomenal race of any candidate in
the territory. No other candidate
in any county in the territory got
the tremendous majority that he
received. On the Office of record
er there were 1000 votes cast and
out of this mum Der Nit Simms re-
ceived l495, giving HIM clear ma
iority of 800. In receiving this
handsome majority the people
have certainly given evidence of
confidence in Mr.. Simms for he
was pitted against the strongest
man the republicans could get to
accept the nomination.

Judge Ksnt's Decision.

In the case of the Phoenix 4
Eastern railway, applying for
supersedas to stay carrying out
the judgment of the district court
of Pinal county, granting the Ari-
zona Eastern railroad permission
to take possession of the right of
way held by the former company,
Chief Justice Kent of the supreme
court of Arizona, while doubling
bis right to issue supersedas, de-
cided that pending full hearing
of the case by the supreme court
the Arizona Eastern should not
take possession Of the right of way
in dispute and that the Phoenix &
Eastern be not allowed to operate
trains beyond Kelvin. The Phoe-
nix 4 Eastern is allowed under the
decision, to operate the line as far
as Kelvin.

The territorial council of the

not surprise us if the honorable

One of the commission is to act as

is empowered to purchase such breed

to secure the services Of others pri.

probable that the measure will be an

However, the plan is along the lines

for the army.

Mr.. Bryan was rendered a banquet

while his homecoming may have al
forded sufficient excuse for the feast
no doubt the tepec talk by the east.
ern tribe a few weeks ago was an
additional inspiration. In any event
Mr.. Bryan embraced the opportunity
to read the riot act to- those who
would be glad to get as far away
from the recent declarations OF the
party as possible. But Mr.. Bryan
will not have it tnat way without a
fight. On this point he says: THE
Kansas City platform is sound in e-
cry plank. and the first act of the
next Democratic convention should be
to reaffirm it in its entirely and its
next act should be the addition of
new planks in harmany with 1t and
covering such new questions as de-
mand consideration. Then the conven.
ton should select candidates who be-
lieve in the platform; candidates
whose Democracy will not be an Is
sue in the campaign and whose fidel.
ity to Democratic principles will not
be doubted at the election. And then
the convention should announce that
it will neither ask nor receive con-
tributions from those who are en-.
trenched behind the bulwarks which
we are attacking. And then let US
defend our position, not upon the Low
ground OF dollars and GEMS. but by
showing how Republican policies vio'
late moral principles and invite the
punishment that eventually overtakes
the wrong-doer."

getically and practically in some one
movement they do not report for duty.
They hold meetings enough, pass res
olutions, appoint committees, and
there they quit and let the commit
tees struggle on utterly alone. What
Chicago needs is n brave. strong
brainy, uncorruptible man, who has
force Of character enough, unselhsh-
ness enough. moral courage enough
to unite and crystalize all this dis
content with existing conditions. and
then, when organized, to lead the
forces against the politicians, the
ringsters of all kinds, the business
men who corrupt the officials, the
pluguglies and all the rest of that MI
nority of bad people who infest the

S~ixty-six prominent citizens Of
Michigan, under the leadership of
Governor Bliss, were in Washington
last week for the purpose of inviting
the president to participate in the
celebration at Jackson July 9th. of the
ffticth anniversary Of the birth of the
Republican party. They said that
they could prove that the Republican
party was born under the oaks at
Jackson July 6. 1854" This claim
has frequently been made and well
substantiated while other states have
also claimed the honor. While the
question Of location may never be
definitely determined every Republi.
can should take pride in the fact that
the record of his party is such that
the place of its birth Is a matter of
friendly rivalry.

MONTANA IN THE LEAD.

AS a wool growing state Montana
still takes the lead-a lead which il
will doubtless maintain for some
years to come although there may be
some decrease in the number of
sheep.
AS was shown last week this state
is credited with $780, 900 sheep. Wy
oming next with 100000. The yield
Of wool for 1903, according to this re-
port. was 10000. 600 pounds of wash
ed and unwashed, with a total value
of $5,5i7. $50.
While this is a good showing in
comparison with some other states
and represents a snug sum of money
for one industry. still the year as a
whole was an %unfavorable one for the
industry.
Conditions were not normal. At
least a loss of fifty per cent in lambs
was sustained by growers throughout
the state. while there were instances
of heavy losses in old sheep during
the winter and spring months. In ad.
dition to these misfortunes the NUT
ton market ruled low all through the
shipping season although there is now
marked Improvement.
Notwithstanding the drawbacks OF
last year we believe the future offers
encouragement to the Montana wool
grower, unless he is the victim of un
favorable national legislation. By
changing his methods somewhat he
can get on a safer basis in the con-
duct of his business. 1t has been said
that the small owner cleared the most
money last year. II true 1t shows
that he is not operating at so great
an expense, yet getting the very best
results from his holdings, suffering
slight losses in old and young sheep
and getting as much wool per fleece
as possible.

II is thought by some that Montana
has reached the top figures so far as
the number of head is concerned, ow-
ing to the limited range and other
reasons. This might be true and still
not diminish the output of wool IL
prompt and careful attention is paid
to breeding for wool instead of NUT
ton. at least there would only be a
brief period in which a shortage &C.
Cured. We believe the chief aim
should be to cur the very largest
and finest clips of Merino wool. the
best possible results per fleece in
weight and. quality. Possibly the
number of sheep in the STATE could
be reduced one-third and yet not re-
duce the output of wool materially
from the showing of 1908, which was
&c, 900, 900 pounds, or six pounds to
the fleece. The saving in help and
other expenses and the salvage of
lambs and sheep in the winter and
spring months together with the fact
that mutton would enhance in value
due to shortage ought to make up
the difference in numbers to wool
growers, especially to those who
have been breeding largely for NUT
ton sheep. Six pounds to the fleece
is not a good average. The time is
coming when Montana sheep will
shear nearer nine pounds.
In any event, whatever changes may
take place as to methods. Montana
will always be a great woolgrowing
state and should continue to lead all
rivals for an indefinite period.
Fergus. led only by Chouteau coun'
ty in the number of sheep and in the
amount of wool, will still prove a
close second If she does not again
take first place. In quality of wool
Fergus county easily leads all other
counties in the state.
The outlook for the industry is not
discouraging. With a good Landing
season and fair prices for wool and
mutton growers will have no kick
coming.

HITS THEM HARD.

some palpable truths that might apply

justices, her parole system or any
other overt or secret acts of her law

Consumption is a human

The best lung fertilizer is

The time to treat consump-

Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO

forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-

cured at once, but if you will
