1t is very refreshing to read w. A.
Clark's Helena Independent. Its edi-
tor is so quaint and original in his
reasonings and so very rash in his
statements that one would imagine he
had just emerged from a f~rst-class
preparatory school of nineteenth cen
fury prophets. He wisely and sagac-
iously remarks that the leading Demo.
Gratis of the country wants Theodore
Roosevelt nominated for president ON
the Republican ticket and that the
aforesaid Democrats are doing all in
their power TO help the good work
along. When next November comes
around the Independent will find that
sure enough, many Democrats will
have voted for Theodore Roosevelt
for president, and that he will have
been elected without the aid or con.
sent of Wall stree or the Tammany
tiger, and in spite of Democracy and
it's allies, the trusts.-Gallatin Coun.

One thing which materially affect
ed the price Of beef from this state
was the fact that the grass did not
mature as early as usual, but owing
to frequent rains kept green nearly
up to the period OF shipping, thus
preventing the meat from hardening
and getting into prime condition.
The low prices prevailing prevented
a good many from shipping at all, pre-.
fering to wait for a better market
this year. It Is to be hoped that they
have figured wisely and that condi-
tons and prices will prove better for
our stock interests than they did dur
ing the year 1903.

As TO HIS

Having nothing else TO offer as an
excuse the money changers and trust
promoters affect to believe that Pres.
ident Roosevelt is unsafe because Of
his 'rashness." This may suit the
brigands OF commerce In their futile
attempt to conceal their true
motive, but facts cannot be found to
give ground for any such suspicion
on their part. The New York Trib-
unr, In a recent editorial on this ques-
ton OF ~rashness. among other things.

when the administration of this
rash man is calmly reviewed it is
not easy to find evidence OF that rash
ness. He has, indeed. done many
things that have aroused opposition,
and any president who does anything
positive always will. But there 10 a
great difference between positiveness
and rashness. His actions, though On.

OF the American people in a fashion
which suggests that they we're taken
with anything but rashness. II it is

of inactivity, suddenly appeared on
Gensan, on the east coast Of Korea,
Monday morning and sank the Goyo

that this Russian naval movement was

The Vladivostok squadron consists
of the cruisers Rossia, Gromoboi, RGrik

These mines drifted away from Port

light Is dangerous, because some OF
these mines float slightly below the
surface of the water. Various expedi-

have been suggested for freeing the sea

other things, a proposal that neutral
warships search for these mines out
