The president desired to have one Of
his ministers as representative of the
business interests of the country.
Metcalf's appointment was determined
upon by the president shortly after

lican committee. Metcalf was mem

WHAT GEO. KNIGHT
SAID OF ROOSEVELT

CHICAGO, June 23.-George A
Knight of California said The time
is ripe for real Americanism. That
liberty for which the Minute Men
fought, the liberty of Lincoln, should
be taught the people. Tell the world
that the republican party was the first
organization that made the laborinl
man true quality of himself.
Socialism can never live in this
republic, and the anarchist has nc
home with us.
Follow the light of our Washington
for its purity of purpose, of Jefferson
Lincoln and Mckinley and all the
patriots of old. We want a president
who will fight the wrong and, Theodore
Roosevelt. thou art the man! The
party needs him more than he needs
the party.
Dishonesty, duplicity and cowardice
are never impulsive. Roosevelt il
impulsive. The democratic censors
also opposed him in the Panama canal
They have been quietly laid aside in
the democratic graveyards.
Roosevelt stands as representa-
tive of a type that is not to die out
for all time to come. After he has
given the best years of his life to the
people he will take the flag, as pure
and unsullied as he found it, and hand
it to the American patriot who is next
in line"

POLITICIANS HERE

]. r. Creighton and Miller Borglum
are on their return home from vaca.
tion trip TO the coast. Mr.. Borglum is
modest and unassuming. He accumula-
ted the habit while holding the posi-
tion of chief clerk for the Butte Water
company. Mr.. Creighton is one of
the best known policeman in Western
Montana, but would probably lose his
prestige with the rank and file Of the
smoke-eater if they Were to hear his
comparisons between Butte and Spo-
kane as desirable places OF residence.
He denied the soft impeachment when
charged with being Heinze follower,
but the way he devoured the contents
of copy OF the Butte News given him
from the exchange table Of the Press
tipped his hand.
The News Is the new evening paper
that gives its Butte readers the news
as secured by the Scripps News asso-
citation, and is Mr.. Heinze's personal
organ.

FIGHT OVER STREETS IN
BROWNIES ADDITION

In a communication which John NJ.
Bum, division counsel for the North
ern Pacific company, sends to the city
council anent the closing of streets
in Brownies addition, he undertakes
to presume on the meeting and con-
ference between representatives Of
the city and railway company on the
2fst of last May. In the communica-
tion he says he sends 1t to the coun-
Gil in compliance with an understand
ing reached on that date regarding
the opening and closing of certain
streets. This matter has for long
time been the subject of much con-
troversy and even now there is pend
ing a suit in the courts regarding
to open Oak street. If the courts de-
eide 1t has, then it will settle the
matter and the city will have a per-
feet right to open all of these streets.
The meeting last May was at the
request Of the railway officials who
wanted to make a proposition. They
made one proposition to close the
east and west streets, but the repre-
sentatives of the city would not hear
of it. Then another proposition was
talked Of In this the officials of the
railway company offered to close
Sixth avenue and Chestnut. CanINn,
Elm and Ash streets and leave open
Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues. No
definite understanding was agreed up
on in connection with this PROPOSE
tion either.
Now comes Mr. Bum and in a
communication to the city council and
the city commissioners presumes on
the meeting and says he again wishes
to take the matter up according to
the tentative agreement made at that
time.
1t is hardly likely the city will
agree to anything but the opening
of all those streets and avenues. 1t
is generally believed the railway peo-
pie have come to the conclusion the
city will beat them IN the sgit now
pending and If they make a hasty
effort to get some of the streets clos
ed and tied up by an agreement they
will be gaining something of an ad-
vantage anyway. Something is bet
ter than nothing. they figure.
The communication also says the
railway officials waited one month
before again taking the matter up
so the public and press could not crit
icize them for undue haste in any,
thing which was done in the matter.
Regarding the Browne street cross
ing there was an understanding
reached on that day and Mr.. Bum
embodies this understanding in his
communication. Haste is exactly
what is wanted In this matter, but
as The Press said after the May con-
ference the matter would drag along
for an indefpte period, and that
seems TO be just what Is happening
The matter of the Browne street
crossing can be settled in a very little
time, II the railway people will act.
However. this Is not what 1t wants,
but the company wishes to hold the
Browne street matter as a club to
try and force the city into an agree
ment regarding the streets in
Brownies addition.
