If the flag has no right in the Phil
ippines, will the democratic speakers
and editors kindly tell the American
people where is has a right to flaunt
it's glorious stars and stripes in the
breeze. The islands are ours by
right of conquest and purchase, if by
no other right, but in addition to
these rights recognized by the entire
world the flag flies there by virtue OF
the responsibility that became ours
when we destroyed the last vestage
of government that obtained there
and became responsible to the world
for law and order in the islands. I'm
til civilization shall have taken firm
root in the archipelago and it's inhabi-
tants are capable Of governing them
selves after the n OF civilized
and intelligent people the flag will re-
main where is vas hoisted by Dewey
and his brave men.

An indictment is considered as of
no value and is promptly thrown out
of court unless particulars concern
ing the offense charged are given
upon which a trial may be had of the
person accused. This is a fact in
law known to all men capable of un-
derstanding, except, it seems, to dem
ocratic editors. Some of these are
now charging President Roosevelt
with having "sold out" to the trusts,
the consideration being liberal dona-
tons to his campaign fund, but they
are careful not to mention specific
instances or TO name any of the trusts
with which he is alleged to have bar
gained. If they have the information
they pretend to be in possession OF
they should not withhold it from their
readers. The latter have the right
to demand names, dates and amounts
and all other knowledge of the re-
puted transactions possessed by
them.

rightly bring upon us the criticism OF
the world. The character OF the peoples
in the island with whom we are deal.
ing is such that makes impossible any
declaration at this time regarding
the date of their ultimate freedom
and absolute independence an utter
impossibility. Democrats, as we'll as
republicans, realize and appreciate
this and for this reason there is a
large proportion of both parties who
are determined that we shall dis
charge our obligation and do it we'll
and faithfully.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
Never since a local organization has
been effected has the republican party
had a stronger county ticket in the
field than the one submitted this fall.
Every nominee, from top to bottom,
is exceptionally qualified for the posi-
ton for which he is a candidate. All
are men of standing and each has a
claim on popular recognition that is
not to be lightly passed over.
Heading the ticket is the Honorable
Chauncey C. Bever, who for the Sec
ond time is before the voters for cleo
ton as the county's representative
in the legislature. Two years ago he
was chosen to I'LL the position and
did it ac~ceptably, h%onorably and ably.
The record he made is n that re-
Elected credit not only upon himself,

A POOR SOURCE.

Senator Patterson of Colorado has
performed the obligations of his m
tract with the state democratic COM
mittee of Montana and has delivered
three speeches-one in Butte, another
in Anaconda and the third at Great
Falls. In each of these places he has
told the workingmen what a tyrant
President Roosevelt is because he did
not see fit to interfere with the ad-
m~inistration of the state government
of Colorado. With all the forensic
oppression existing there and exer-
cised by a cruel and heartless COVER
nor, aided by a despotic military CON-
mander and upheld by a plutocratic
band of ~mineowners dominating the
rest of the citizens. 1t was a dra-
matte tale, told in a dramtic and the
atrical way. But it would have come
with better grace had it been told by
a man other than Patterson. While
pretending to weep at the ills and
tribulations of one class of wage
earners Patterson himself is notorious
for the manner in which he dealt with
another class employed by him. His
treatment a few years ago of the
miners working in coal mines owned
by him and his fight on the typo
graphical union in his efforts to re-
| duce the scale of wages that obtained
in Denver are all matters of Ia
Dor history in the west. In the latter
he was worsted and now he uses his
newspaper to denounce the mine
owners and to publish them to the
world as a class Of men who want to
force those in their employ to work
| for starvation wages and who have
gone to the extreme of invoing the
military to enable them to do SO.
Patterson is a shining example OF
the political demagogue and in en-
| ploying him the managers of the
democratic party in this state have
| given evidence Of the extreme to
which they find themselves driven in
their efforts to turn the state over to
the corporations that would dictate its
laws and control it's institutions.

In his speech at Anaconda a few
nights ago the democratic candidate
for lieutenant governor took particu-
lar pains to laud Governor Toole for
the message he sent to General Carlin
at the time of the dynamite outrages
in the Occur 'dAlenes, in which he
notified the commander of the United
States troops called to restore order
that the soldiers would not be per-
mitted to make arrests in Montana.
Others beside Mr.. Norris have occa-
sion to remember that message, and
with better cause. Had it not been
sent men now prominent in demo-
cratic politics in the state would
probably have seen the inside Of the
~penitentiary, where they belonged.

To make the indictment more COM
plete, the men who are now criticiz-
ing and condemning the president for
refusing to interfere in the process
by which the people of Colorado rid
themselves of a lot OF anarchists,
Molly Maguires and assassins should
communicate with their allies in some
of the southern states and have them
burn a few negroes and then indict
him for not interfering there.

PARKER BECOMES MENDAclous

PARKER BECOMES MENDAcloUS.
Having cut loose from his old en-
vironment and entered the arena as
a democrat in quest OF Office, Judge
Parker has concluded to play the
game to a finish and profit by the les
sons taught by the men who have
taken him under their protection
and whose political protege he is.
Truth is no longer regarded by him
as something to be respected and
facts melt as thin air when he han
dies them. Calmly he lies about the
national administration and expects
the public to believe him. But his
u~nwarranted statements are not per-
mitted to pass u~nchallenged. Sena-
tor Fairbanks effectively exposed his
mendacity at Troy a few days ago.
Piecemeal he dissected the judges
recent speech on the Philippines and
showed how barefaced he mis-
stated matters. Instead of the hum
dreds of thousands of lives the demo-
cratic candidate said had been sacri-
feed in the islands in the nations eff
forts to establish peace and law many
fewer than that number have served
there altogether, counting enlisted
men, regulars and volunteers, and
the officers required to command
them.
Parker's other pre%varication in ref
erence to the amount of money the
government has expended in the is
lands was also refuted. Judge Par
ker solemnly asserted that over
six hundred millions had been spent,
in addition to the original purchase
price paid to Spain. Taking official
figures, Senator Fairbanks proved
that the actual cost thus far has been
less than one-third of the figure given
by Judge Parker. But this will prob
ably make no difference to the Judge;
he will continue his misrepresenta-
lions until election day. He wants
to be president of the United States,
and he is a democrat.

"Finley McRea's record as a county
officer is the heading of an article
furnished by the democratic state
press bureau just now making the
rounds of the newspapers Of that po-
litical complexion. Instead of the
lengthy and labored screed that fol-
lows a fews lines would suffice. The
record made by the democratic candi-
date for clerk of the supreme court
is that of a chronic office seeker, a
mar who has lived off the public
crib coeval with his acquisition OF
citizenship.

Much is heard just now in Montana
OF the men who were depOrted from
Colorado for Colorado's good, but not
a word is said concerning the miser-
able victims Of dynamite fiends who
were hurled into the hereafter while
~peaceably and lawfully exercising
their rights as citizens and feeling Sc
cure under the guarantee of the laws
that were supposed to afford them
protection. The men who were assas-

Philip M. Gallaher, republican NOM
inee for country surveyor, is not
only n of the oldest civil engineers
in eastern Montana, but admittedly
also n Of the very best and most re-
liable. His skill and reliability re-
ceived the highest recognition when
he was selected as engineer OF the
extensive works constructed by the
Amalgamated : Copper Mining COM
pany in Gallatin county a couple OF
years ago. Only a man possessed OF
exceptional qualifications could be
entrusted with so responsible a posi-
ton, for upon his correctness and
precision depended the successful e
penditure OF immense sums OF money.
Mr.. Gallaher is an ideal man for the
office of county surveyor.
w. F. Sylvester is the party's can
didate for public administrator. While
regarded by some as a position OF
minor Importance, yet it is one that
often exacts much from the incum-
bent. Competency and honesty are
required, together with business abil-
ity. These qualities are all possessed
by Mr.. Sylvester.
Every one in the county knows Doc
tor ]. H. Rinehart and every one
also knows how well and ,capably he
has filled the office of coroner during
the term now drawing to a close. He
has never uselessly incurred expense
to the county and has made careful
and painstaklng inquiry into every
case of which he has taken official
c~ognizance. To continue him for an
other two years will mean an extern
sion of an able and c~reditable admin
%istration.
Once more is Judge Alexander Fra
ser before the people as a candidate
for justice Of the peace OF Billings
township. The many years in which
he has been continued in that posi-
ton speak better than words the
manner in which he is regarded by
the people. Associated with him on
the ticket is A. P. Hart, recognized
for his sound, sober sense and unim-
peachable honesty.
C. E. Mowre and George w. Stod-
dard are candidates for constables OF
the township. Both are deserving OF
the support of the people, for both
are in every way fitted for the posi-
ton.

The Christian Endeavorers of the
city are beginning on their plans for
the coming state convention to be
held here June 2O-22, 1905. There
are several reasons to believe that the
local union will do the city honor in
the entertainment of the several hun

be attracted by this three days meeting
of Christian Endeavorers and their
leaders.
The state organization is growing
this year. There are go societies re-
porting to the state secretary, SIS hav-
ing been added since September. 1t is
probable that the convention next year
will be more largely attended than any
in the past five years. The members
in the city are intending to furnish
lodging and breakfast in their homes
to delegates properly provided with
credentials.

CHASED BY SHARKS.
Shipwrecked Sailors Spend fl Days in
an Open Boat.

San Francisco, Dec. PA voyage of
200 miles by oars, almost destitute of
provisions and water, and pursued by
a horde of giant sharks that threaten
ed momentarily day and night to cap
size the craft and devour it's occupants.
was the experience of Captain Sam
Harris and four South sea islanders
who composed the crew of the little
trading schooner Victor, wrecked on
Apatah island on November 80. Apata-
XII is 200 miles from Papeete, the port of
Tahiti. This is tale of the sea brought
here by the liner Mariposa, just arrived,
which left Papeete on the day Captain
Harris and his men landed there, enac-
lated and nearly crazed but still alive.
When the Victor ended her career by
striking the reef, the shipwrecked crew
had barely time to put off in the boat
for their long voyage, made without a
compass and no sail, with one days
provisions on board and half a dozen
cocoanuts. The milk from the latter
was all they had to drink during the
eleven days it took to reach Papeete.
The passage was enlivened by a con-
slant combat with the sharks. In veri-
fication of their story oars were shown
splintered in repelling the attacks of
these ferocious fish which gave them no
rest. The Victor was a trader among
the Friendly and Society islands.

DEATH OF MISS FEE.
Noted Kansas Musician Passes Away
in Paris.

Fort Scott, Kan. Dec. 24.-The news
of Miss Fees death came in a letter
from Mrs. ]. c. Cuthbertson to the fam
lily of c. w Penniman yesterday. Miss
Fee appeared here less than two years
ago in a concert given by the Christian
church. She was also here a few months
later for a day. But little of the par
ticulars of her death are known as yet.
1t is presumed that she was in Paris,
her home at the time of her demise.
Miss Fee was born in Pittsburg, but
came to this city at an early age and
made her home with Mrs. Lamb, now
of California. She began the study of
the violin at an early age and was sent
to Chicago to study with a noted Po-
lander. Later she went to Paris, where
she appeared before crowned heads. Her
playing proved a sensation and it was
not long ere young French nobleman
sought her hand in marriage. The mar
riage occurred a few months after her
first appearance at the French capital.
Miss Fee continued her concert work
and always appeared under her girlhood
name. AS Violinist she had few equals
anywhere.
