The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-06-07

Not long ago st. Petersburg dis
patches announced that the Russian
war department was experimenting
with bullet proof breast plates for
use of the army. In view of the
events that have transpired since then
at Kin Chou and several other places
in that region it would seem that
sound judgment, based upon expe-
rience, would prompt attention in the
direction of producing a bullet proof
covering for another portion of the
Slav anatomy which seems to be in
greater danger from Japanese fire.

Mr.. WEIGH having at last prepared
his testimony, it is now to be hoped
that we will hear less talk from the
Office of state superintendent of pub

that evidence where it may be used in
the direction of aftording relief to the
people who have to pay for the books

A contemporary comments on an
article that it says Russell Sage "con-

wrote the comment evidently pos
sesses only a hazy knowledge of the
great financier. Sage was never
known to contribute anything.

who shall make. the speech nOmlnat-
ing him at Chicago, but who shall
succeed Senator Hanna as chairman
of the republican national commit
tee." Other democratic organs in
dulge in a similar vein of criticism.
Everyone familiar with our political
history knows that it has beer the
rule with presidents having the legit-
innate desire to succeed themselves
to offer suggestions to the party and
to make known their wishes in GER
tain respects. Andrew Jackson care.
fully planned for his denomination
and no president was ever more ac-
tive in this regard than Grover Cleve-
land in 1878 when he permitted the
heads of departments to freely dis
regard the civil service law in re.
placing republicans with democrats.
1t is we'll remembered that in this
way the postal service was almost
utterly demoralized. Moreover Mr..
Cleveland had a good deal to say in
connection with the platform and the
selection of the managers of the cam
paign in 1888. 1t is not forgotten that
some of the democratic leaders at
that time were greatly displeased
with what they regarded as the arbi-
trary course of the president.
Mr.. Roosevelt has selected former
Governor Black of New York to make
the speech nominating him at Chi
cago. 1t is proper that the presi-
dent should be placed in nomination
by a delegate from his own state
and no one is better qualified to do
this than Mr.. Black. There has been
no dictation in the matter on the
part of the president, whose prefer
ence for Mr.. Black is due to both
personal friendship and the fact that
he is a fine orator. AS to the express
ed desire of Mr.. Roosevelt that Secre.
tary Cortelyou shall be chairman OF
the national committee, he is simply
following a precedent set by candi.
dates for the presidency for the last
half a century and it is a perfectly
proper and legitimate custom. The
chairman of the national committee
must of necessity come into frequent
personal intercourse with the candi
date and he should be a man who
has alike the esteem and the conf
dence of the candidate. MI. Roose
welt does not dictate the election o
Mr.. Cortelyou by the national commit
tee, but the committee will very pro
perly respect the presidents wish il
the matter in compliance with a long
observed practice.
Democratic efforts to discredit MI
Roosevelt are for the most part ex
ceedingly tenuous and feeble and non
more 81 than the kind of criticism
above noted. The president has com
mitted no improperly in the the in
terest manifested in preparations TO
the coming campaign and is entirel
in line with well-established prece
dents.

Omaha Bee: Democratic newspa-

President Roosevelt for the interest
he is manifesting in the preparations
for the national campaign, as if this

which has never been paralleled by

as in other communities. The Ga
zette was told on authority that is
reliable, months ago, that some Of the
book concerns were violating their
contracts by overcharging. When
asked why nothing was done in the
matter the person quoted replied that
if. seemed useless; that the people
hereabouts were not the only ones
who were victimized, but that the
practice of o~vercharging extended all
over the state, with no one having
power in the case apparently willing
to take the initiative in the direction
of securing strict compliance with the
terms of the contract held by the
publishers.
WEIGH Favors a Change.
At the meeting of the textbook
commission, which is to be held at
Helena July S, Superintendent WEIGH
will urge a change in the method OF
supplying books for use in the high
schools. Instead of permitting them
to longer remain on the open list,
he thinks such books should be sup
piled in the same manner as are those
in the lower grades. At present he
says overcharges are made in many
instances and because of the absence
of contracts no remedy is to be had.
Illustrative of his charge of extor-
ton he cites n book, an algebra.
For this Montana dealers are COMPEL
ed to pay in excess of 81 at Chicago,
yet the same book is supplied to the
schools of Kansas at the nominal rate
of As cents. Other instances of like
overcharges are said not to be lack
ing.

A Painful Obituary.

It Is always shd to see the taking
off OF strong, valuable life In its
early vigor. II the untimely end is
due, either wholly OF in part, to the
use Of tobacco land alcohol, we nat.
uraly feel still m ore sorry to see such
an unworthy shipping out OF a useful
and potentially great life. We note
that Noah Rabys Of Eatontown, N. j.,
recently died, and under crcum-
stances that make his death particu.
larry sad Mr.. Raby, according to his
own statements, which seem to be
pretty well confirmed, was but 1856
years old. and there can be little
doubt that his untimely death was
due TO his consumption OF liqnor dur
ing 1870 years of that time. He was a
constant user Of alcoholic beverages
and tobacco, and had 1t not been for
the deadly effectsof these poisons upon
his strong and vigorous system, Mr..
Raby might have lived to a good old
age. Too bad!--California Journal Of
Medicine.

been more cordially welcomed than
now. We have had quite enough OF

ports from all parts OF the country
seem to show that il was the most Sc
we're In years IL not the worst on rec
ord. The mean temperature Of the
winter for Boston was 400 degrees r.
above zero, with sixty-six inches Of
snowfall. In New York the season was
the coolest on record. with mean tenn
perature OF 20 1-3 degrees above zero
This Is Is degrees lower than In any
winter for more than thirty years and
l degree colder than that OF lS74-75,
hitherto the coolest on record. Bills
yards and heavy snowstorms were re-
sponsible fer fall of twenty eight and
one-half inches, which cost more than
100000 TO remove. In fact according
to the officials of the street cleaning
department, no such amount OF snow
