WILL SUPPORT ROOSEVELT.

Another honest democrat has been
found. He. is Frank A. Kennedy,
who until a few days ago was editor
I of the Western Laborer and general
organizer of the American Federation
of Labor, which latter position he
has resigned in order that he may
enter actively into the presidential
campaign in support of Roosevelt. In
a sensational editorial last week
Kennedy, who for years was an ar
dent supporter of Bryan, exhorts la
Dor unionists to support the republi-
can nominee. Among other things he
says:
EFFICIENCY and political policy com
pei Bryan to remain in a party which
we think he must despise in his heart.
We cannot follow him in the support
of a nal who has been a dummy, who
has pilfered a national nomination
through the management of men pos
sessed of all the evil traits of Benedict
Arnold, but having none of his vir-
tues" Again:
"The time has come when the unions
must take an active part in politics,
not as unions or a third party, but
in defense of their very existence.
Organized labor now knows just where
it stands and what relations exist
between it and those obligated to
destroy it. We have now come to the
parting of the ways, when the office
seeking politician must herd with his
class, while labor presses onward in
its own way toward the goal of it's
emancipation in Gods own time. The
Western Laborer will support Theo.
dore Roosevelt with all the power it
possesses and will do it's best to show
the Bryan men of 1896 and 1900 a way
to rebuke his enemies"

WHY IT so

Stress is laid by a democratic con-
temporary upon the fact that a ma
jority Of the st. Louis boodlers sen.
to the Missouri ~penitentiary through
the efforts Of Joseph w. Folk are re-
publicans. This is probably SO, but
it does not prove the impression
sought to be conveyed by the state
ment. In his capacity as circuit at
torney Mr.. Folk made no distinctions.
He prosecuted dishonest men regard
less of party affiliations and succeed
ed in c%onvicting most of them, but
a democratic supreme court of the
state saw fit to throw the cloak Of
it's protection about the democrats
and upon the most trivial TECHNICAL.
ties ordered their release. The case
of the notorious Colonel Ed" Butler
affords an excellent example Of this
judicial prejudice. Although acknowl-
edged to be the chief of the unsavory
gang, because of his political power he
was enabled to escape punishment
through the connivance of the court of
last resort. Had he been a republl-
can instead of a democrat he would
undoubtedly be now at Jefferson City,
along with some of the others.

PARKER DEscENDs TO EARTH.

Being assured Of the support of
Wall street, Parker has gone into
the Bowery and the Tenderloin and
made his peace there. He has had
a talk with the big ones of Tammany
and has received assurances Of their
support. In return he has pledged
himself, in the event of his election,
to give the tiger full and fair recogni-
ton in the distribution Of federal
patronage and that he will give no
countenance to any movement having
for it's purpose the upbuilding Of a
rival party organization. Further
more, he has promised that he and his
closest friends will exert all their in
1uence to prevent the anti-Tammany
element from obtaining control of the
state convention in September.
OF course, this is good politics,
but it shows that even a man of the
judges unspotted honor and high re-
gard for all. that goes to make good
citizenship may become so greedy to
hold Office that he is willing to take
a few steps in the direction of the
earth and turn his back on the pedes-
tai upon which he has elevated himself
for the sake of securing the support
of the rabble.

cEDED PORTION WILL BE OPEN
ED NEXT YEAR.
STATEMENT BY Mr.. DIXON
Congressman Has Something to Say
Concerning the Allotment
Of Claims.

1t is the opinion OF Congressman
Dixon that the recently restored lands
of the Grow Indian reservation will
be opened for settlement sometime
next year, as the survey is to be made
this fall.
He is quoted as having expressed
himself to that effect at Helena last
Saturday, where he was on his way
home from the east, after a short stop
at Butte.
Allotment of Claims.
In an interview he is quoted as
having said:
"The manner in which claims will
be allotted on the Crow reservation will
be somewhat different to that hereto
fore observed, and it will, in all like
lihood, prove more satisfactory. APP
plications are now being made. When
M is submitted the applicant is CIV
en a certificate permitting him to go
upon the land and select a claim. He
has 80 days in which to do it.
There will be $4,000 claims in all,
and when the time arrives the work
will be done with a wheel on the lot
terry plan. There will probably be
100, 900 applications, and, in view OF
the fact that the number of claims
will aggregate only a quarter of this
number, there will be 100000 tickets
with the names of the applicants on
them, and another 100000, of which
$4,000 will be blank and the remaining
25, 900 winners.
"The man who operates the wheel
will be blindfolded while the drawing
is in progress, and the first man who
draws a claim will have his choice of
the entire reservation. The second
will have the second choice, and the
others will come in rotation.
"The commissioner of the general
land Office said while I was in Wash
ington that this method would be
adopted because of the trouble that
came about by the great rush when
the Oklahoma and other reservations
were thrown open. The plats will
be OF hand and the selections made
as the drawing progresses.
ut is quite likely that the govern
ment will provide means of irrigating
the Grow reservation and charge the
amount in equal proportions to the
claim holders"
Will Increase Population.
with the two reservations open to
settlement and the national irrigation
act in actual operation, l believe the
population Of the state will be increas-
ed at least 10 for each one now in the
state. The prints showing the town
sites on the reservations are. now in
Washington and should be returned
to Helena in a few days. AS soon as
they arrive bids for the survey will
be sent out, and in q month or six
weeks the contract will be let and
the work begun.
"The Flathead reservation will not
likely be open in less than two years,
for it will take at least a year to
complete the survey, after which the
commissioner will have to allot and
survey the surplus land. Each Indian
will be given 80 acres, a total Of about
100000 acres, which is about one-fif-
teenth of the land. The Fathead
reservation is a large one; it contains
100, 900 acres more than the state OF
Delaware, and is very fertile"

SOMETHING THEY OVERLOOKED.

Probably the haste necessary to
get to press with their early mail edi-
lions is responsible for the oversight
on the part of some, and the import
ance of the news sem in from Red
Dog, Chicken Flat, He'll Roaring and
Stringtown crowded it out from
the others, but whatever the reason,
it is certain that none of the demo-
cratic dailies of the state has publish
ed the dispatch contained in the east
ern newspapers under Washington
date of the 18th inst. This gave out
the information that President Roose.
welt had ordered the department of
justice, through Attorney General
Moody, to advance the beef trust case
on the calendar of the United States
supreme court, so that it may be tried
early in October. Neither was men
ton made of the fact that the beef
trust had notified the president that
because if his action it would not use
any influence it might have toward
settling the strike of it's employees,
Another important matter overlooked,
and contained in the same dispatch,
was that the president had already
received the reports of three special
agents of the department of labor
and commerce, who had been investi-
eating the beef trust and it's meth
DDS for three months preceding, or
that their reports showed conclusive.
ly that the trust was disregarding the
injunction issued by Judge Grosscup
OF Chicago and that it had made itself
amenable to the Sherman antitrust
law.
That it's readers may know the sub
stance of the reports of the agents OF
the government, The Gazette herewith
reprints a summary of their findings,
which show:
First-That the beef trust is liable
under the law for contempt of court
in d~isregarding the Grosscup injunc.
ton.
Second-That the beef trust is an
illegal combination in restraint Of in
terstate trade.
Third-That the beef trust is. or
ganized and controlled by a holding
company, similar to the Northern Sc.
curities company, known as the Ma,
tional Packing company, capitalized
at $4,000, 900 and organized under the
laws of New Jersey.
Fourth-That the beef trust abso-
lutely controls the price of dressed
beef and arbitrarily fixes the price to
be paid for beef on the hoof.

A BROOKLYN TRAGEDY.

Rich Old Reeluse and His Helper
Found Murdered In a Hovel.
New York, July 13-Discoyeiy Of a
blaze in a ramshackle alley in Brook
lyn which has long been known as
te tracking place Of thieves led to
the disclosure of a double murder
which furnishes the climax TO the
drama of crime which has been played
in the locality for many years
One Of the victims Of the murder is
George +. Abbott, a strange old man
of uncouth and weird appearance, who
had accumulated a large fortune, os-
tensibly as a junkman. but the police
say as a receiver of stolen goods. and
still lived in utmost penury in a stall
that was not At for a horse. and the
other was Frederick Van Buskirk. a
middle aged man with a better past
whom he employed as a helper
The bodies were found by firemen
who had been sent on a still alarm tc
extinguish a blaze which undoubtedly
had been started to destroy the evi
dence of the grewsome deeds.
While the body of Abbott was lyins
in the hovel in which he had lived and
in which he had made a fortune by
acting as a fence" for criminals, his
wife, it was said, was travelling il
luxury about the country, her lavisl
mode Of life in strange contrast 4
the miserliness Of her husband.
