NEEDED RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

Although defeated before, the pro-
posal to establish a state railroad com
mission will come up before the next
legislature, and it will be presented
in a stronger manner, in a way that
if not successful will at least convince
the railroads and their friends that
they have been in a fight. Public
sentiment in favor of such a body is
growing and crystalizing, and on their
position on the question will undoubt-
eddy depend the support legislative
candidates in many districts will re-
ceive next fall. Particularly does this
apply to the parts of the state where
agriculture and the stock interests
predominant. The arbitrary manner
assumed in many instances by the
railroad companies in dealing with
lne public is responsible for this feel.
ing. Shippers who in the past have
been satisfied to allow matters to
take their course without state inter
ference have come to consider that the
time is at hana when it is necessary
that the state shall exercise the rights
1t possesses and by stringent laws and
their strict enforcement compel the
companies to deal honestly, just
ly and literally with those from whom
they receive their support.
While they may not have so regard
ed 1T, the companies materially
strengthened the hands of their enc.
mics when they put into force the

these members were never candidates
for further political honors and pre-
ferred to engage in private pursuits.
Many of the men who served in the
legislature which elected Mr.. Carter
consented to become candidates for
legislative honors purely on the
ground of friendship for Mr.. Carter
and they well accomplished the OBJ
ject which prompted them to take
such an active part in the affairs OF
the party during that period.
Ask these same gentlemen who were
instrumental in sending Mr.. Garter to
the senate, what they think of help
ing Mr.. Carter again and note their
answer. If the exact truth could be
obtained The Gazette would CUES
that at least 80 per cent of the mem
bership of the legislature that sent
him to Washington as a senator are
opposed to him, and it is also a safe
guess that Mr.. Carter has never made
a personal fight on many of the men
with whom an interview is suggested.
The Gazette is satisfied that there
is something wrong in the state re-
publican family and while it does not
wish to place all the blame upon the
shoulders of Mr.. Carter, it believes
that that gentleman is responsible for
part of the difficulty with which the
party is confronted. AS a republic
can iMr. Carter has just as much right
to aspire to leadership as any other
in the state, providing he
has the confidence of the rank and
of the party. If he lacks the con-
6dence of the party and has by his
acts estranged thousands of its
members, then Mr.. Carter owes it to
himself, Us we'll as his party, to shift
his sails in a direction which will
serve the best interests of all republi-
ans regardless OF the ambitions of a
few individuals.
AS the immortal Lincoln well said:
"A house divided against itself can
lot stand" So it is with the republi-
party in this state. The republi-
voters in Montana are %unquestion-
in the majority, but if we are
% have constant internal dissension
for the party's state and legis-
alive tickets next fall is a matter
If grave doubt.
Mr.. Carter should throw himself
INTO the breach and seek to heal the
party animosities and bring about an
era of good feeling, ever if for the
line being it should become necessary
or him to withhold his own ambition,
After the love feast Mr.. Carter could
again present himself for further
1onors.

THE PARTY AND Mr.. CARTER.

THE PARTY AND Mr.. CARTER.
The Gazette has noted with a great
deal of interest the recent political
discussion which has gone the rounds
of many of the republican newspa-
pers of the state, especially the dis
cussion INDUCED in by the rural re-
publican press, concerning one
Thomas H. Carter in connection with
that gentleman's alleged leadership of
the republican hosts.
In the discussion of a subject Of this
character The Gazette desires to be
understood that it aims to be perfectly
fair with Mr.. Carter and does not care
ito take up questions more or less of a
private concern between the former
United States senator and this news
d. V0pO1s II IL IAC plCoCAL IdIu0I pSCu-
liar situation within the ranks of the
republican party and the connection
of Mr.. Garter with that organization
that this newspaper wishes to deal
with at this time.
Going back to the period when Mr..
Carter for the first time entered the
arena of state republican politics, and
refreshing the memory of the rank
and file of the party who participated
in state campaigns of that period, it
will be recalled that in those days
the party heard nothing of cliques and
factions as compared to the many ugly
and ~disagreeable things charged in
these latter days within the organiza-
ton in the state. In former days,
and especially about the period when
Montana was admitted to statehood,
republicans were looking around for
leaders and wise counselors and they
thought that in Mr.. Carter they found
a man worthy of their respect and
confidence and one who would be a
credit to the state at Washington I'M
der any and all circumstances.
Acting upon this belief, the republi-
cans elected him to serve the people
In the lower house of congress and at
the first opportunity the republicans
in the legislature, backed by the
masses of the party, sent Mr.. Carter
to Washington to serve the state in
the senate. z
AS far as this newspaper knows, and
1t has a fairly good memory, Mr.. Car.
ter made a ~creditable record while
serving the people and his party at
Washington. But before he ended his
term of service there, there began
to spring up all over the state a de-
termination that MI. Garter should
never again be honored by his party
to an election for a seat in the senate.
Friends of Mr.. Carter may contend
that a determination to defeat that
~gentleman's ambition to return to the
senate is the outgrowth of a bitter
feeling Matched by disappointed Office
seekers, but a little investigation will
show conclusively that a very small
percentage of the republicans now in
opposition to Mr.. Carter ever thought
Of being favored at his hands with
appointment to Office. The ground
for the opposition to Mr.. Carter lies
elsewhere.
There are today many republicans
In the state who were members OF
the legislature which elected Mr.. Car
ter to the senate. a vast majority of

With four good outfielders, includ-
ing Lally bunch of fast men from
which, to pick the infield, four catch
ers and nearly a dozen twirlers, the
millers now appear certain to make a
strong bid for the pennant.
1t is reported that Lewis. who last
season pitched for the Baraga. Mich,
baseball team, and Savage, who was
one of the box artists for the Hancock
| team, will not be- seen on copper
