SCARCITY OF RADIum.


THOSE OF. Us who had been hoping
L to save on our coal bills by install
ing a chunk Of radiurn in our furnaces
this winter will have to figure out an
other way of ~eutting expenses. Sir
William Ramsay Of London, said to be
the worlds most eminent chemist, says
there is not one tenth of an ounce of
radium in the whole world Sir VIII
liam may be depended upon 10 know
what he is talking about because he
has just finished an exhaustive inquiry
into the matter Of the worlds supply Of
radium. He says.
An previous calculations in science are
likely 10 be upset by radium. We may
soon be competed 10 revise some Of the
theories OF physics that are now regarded
as cardinal. Nobody can tel. The future
open TO the diiigenr laboratory student, is
traught with mysteries. One thing lis
certain-nobody is likely 10 discover a
mine Of Tadium. Some statements made
about the quantity of that precious sub
stance In existence are absurd
Few persons who talk about radium
and its components realize the great
scarcity of the raw material for Yield
ing radiums of the exceedingly minute
particles used in experiments that have
astounded the world. 1t is impossible to
say where the future supply Of the raw
material is To come from. l believe that
In America carnotitte looks promising as
abe basis for it. Cleavite. 3 mineral
found in Norway. is also looked upon as
a favorable source of supply.
Sir William is responsible for the
statement that ene-tenth of an ounce
Of radium contains as much energy as
$50 tons of dynamite When it is re-
membered that considerable damage
can be done with pound of dynamite
1t becomes apparent that radium is the
most powerful agency in the world.
And, while a little of it goes. a long
way, it is disappointing to note that the
greatest of experts believes it will be
a very long time before the general
public has a chance at it. @.

Some Republican papers are making
a great hullabaloo over the fact that
Senator German is going to devote
practically all of his time from now on
to the Democratic national campaign.
We suspect that some fright is con-
cealed behind the noise. Certainly
Senator German has every right to
take part in the Campaign if he so de-
sires. He is. recognized as an astute
political manages, hesis competent to
give good advice and, besides, Henry
Gassaway Davis is his cousin.

Whereas, Conditions in Colorado

being denied their constitutional
rights. their lives endangered ana
property destroyed, their homes

bands exiled by force Of arms and
opportunity denied for recourse to
the regular constituted courts OF JUS
tice; and
Whereas. Many citizens have been
forbidden the right TO earn their live
lihood in the said state of Colorado,
solely because of their afiiliation with
labor organizations, as evidenced by
the unwarranted and unlawful clos
ing of the Portland mine, the de-
struetion Of the plant Of the Victor

acts Of an anarchistic organization

Whereas, Being fully convinced
that these conditions have been

the connivance and assistance of the
executive officers of the state Of Col

excess OF the rates he is actually re-
quired to pay.
Very few are the men who are elect
ed to a public position are a
urally and downright dishonest, and
few are those, especially IN Montana,
who would knowingly permit them
selves to, be corrupted or bribed, par
ticularly when a bride was no greater
that would be afforded by the priv
ilege of a free ride on a railroad with
in the limits of the state. But men
holding public offices are human just
the same as other men, and are not
insensible to favors and %courtesies.
The man in whose pocket reposes an
annual would probably resent as
an imputation on his honesty and man
hood a bare hint that as between the
giver of n courtesy and one in no
position to grant a favor of that sort
he would permit his judgment to lean
in the direction OF the first, should
occasion arise when he would have
to decide between them in a situation
where their relative rights were so
nearly equal as to make arrived at a
decision difficult. Yet he would, un-
consciously, favor the one to whom
he felt himself IN a measure indebted.
To do otherwise would be going con
trary to one OF the instincts OF hui
man nature.
The men nominated by the republic
a party should stand upon a plat
form giving notice to all that if elect
ed they would not be placed in apo
sition where they might thus uncon-
.sciously be impelled to do a wrong
to the humblest of the states citizens.
No passes for officials and a law pro-
hibiting their acceptance by any OF
them upon the pain of dismissal from
office would be a slogan to c%onjure
with. No honest, sel~f-respecting man
would decline to become a candidate
upon such a platform; on the con-
trary it would act as an incentive to
many to seek a nomination, we'll
knowing that in case of their success
and that of their party one of the
first acts of the legislature would be
the enactment of a law whereby it
would be made impossible for any
one to truthfully make the charge OF
partiality to railroad interests because
of a feeling of obligation.

AN AWKWARD PROBABILITY.

Should either Cleveland or Parker
be nominated at the St. Louis con-
ventiOn some of the democratic news
papers of Montana would find them
selves in an awkward position, to put
it mildly. Because of his course in
certain matters when a former occu-
pant of the presidential chair, Cleve-
land is most cordially hated and. de-
spised by a large majority of them,
as we'll as by those for whom they
profess to speak. The most bitter
and cruel things said against the ex-
president have been by democratic
writer's of this state.
Nothing written about Parker in
Montana has equalled in bitterness
and condemnation the u%tterances OF
democratic scribes. 1t is true that
the enmity entertained toward him
by them is not so much of a personal
nature as that cherished against
Cleveland. Their opposition to him
is engendered because of the men
who are promoting his candidacy.
The friendship for him manifested by
Wall street damns him in their minds
and eyes and they loudly protest
against his nomination. The publish
ed statements in the eastern demo-
cratic papers that the Montana dele
cation is friendly disposed to the
man of the ossiied jaw and paralyz-
ed tongue has evoked a perfect del
uge of denials from the democratic
press of the state, and the resolution
adopted at Great Falls giving adher-
ance to the Kansas City platform is
quoted as showing the utter absurdity
of any claim that Montana would as.
sist in nominating the judge. Atten'
ton is called to this and the question
is then asked, pertinently so, how any
sensible person, conversant with the
English language in it's most rudi
mentary form can interpret that dec
laration as a promise of aid or com
fort for Parker, or Cleveland, fol
that matter.
But suppose either of those distin
guished gentlemen is nominated, what
will they do then? Will they bolt
will they remain neutral and take NJ
side in the fight, or will they try t.
