PREDICT LONG STRUGGLE.
London Papers Think the War Ha
lust Begun.

Just Begun.
What is termed the Japanese inpene-
trable silence reduces English comment
on the events. at the seat of war to a
minimum. As dispatches to the Assoc
ciated Press from st. Petersburg have
continuously pointed out, every develop
mcnt now lies with the Japanese, in
whose hands is the initiative. The ia
natical disregard for death displayed on
both sides and the ability to keep an
army in being. either from offensive or
defensive point of view and under con-
ditions considered to be prohibitive, has
done more to convince the English press
of the desperate character of the struggle
being waged in the far East than all the
dispatches that have emanated from
Toxic or st. Petersburg declaring that
neither the Japanese nor the Russians
will ever give in.
In place Of endeavoring to follow the
minute progress of the campaign, London
newspapers somewhat hopelessly devote
editorials preparing the English public
to be witnesses that the war will be
longer drawn out and more terrible in
every respect than any within recent
centuries

The stone blocks composing the ruins
of houses, temples. etc, in these upper
strata are of remarkably exact area,
square proportions and excellently
dressed. The more solid constructive
work is, however found in the remains
of the original city. At this depth
there was unearthed a perfectly pre-

jars or vases had evidently contained
red wine, now turned to light pow

valuable antiques in gold, marble and

THE HEARST

One of William r. Hearst's polit-
ical patent medicine circulars and
letters has accidently fallen into our
hands. The circular, which has the
appearance of a Little Early Riser
advertisement, contains interviews
with Mr.. Hearst on national questions
as well as testimonials from men who
have come out in favor of his nomina-
ton for the presidency. In most
part they are the names of men un-
known to fame although now and
then a prominent senator and con-
gresham appears
The letter makes an appeal to the
readers support on nine different
counts. The first is his great and
well proven executive ability which
the people have no knowledge of
whatever. Second. lis his party 10y
alty"-a capacity for taking straight
every dose prescribed by his party
conventions. Third, the value of his
work for Democracy as the publisher
of seven of the greatest, and almost
only, metropolitan newspapers, enab-
ling the party to reach and educate
the people along true Democratic
lines" Fourth. the logical nature OF
his candidacy as a trust buster
Fifth. his great strength at the polls

The failure TO convict T. r. Car.
SON., the Great Falls gambler, demon.
strates the folly of trying TO check
gambling when the public stands in
with the game. There is not the
slightest doubt about Carson's guilt.
Every intelligent mar in Great Falls
knows he runs a gambling joint. But
when brought up before the court for
trial. three or four juries in success
sion find him innocent. Yet We hear
much of our boosted jury system.
Such comic opera proceedings are a
disgrace to Il civilization. Gamb-
ling is an evil and is carried on in
defiance of the laws of the state. But
as long as a perverted public senti-
ment sustains it there is little use
Of going into the courts for redress.
Possibly in fifty years there may be
sufficient decency and respect for the
law in this state to suppress gamb-
ling.

The MERGER DECISION.

The supreme court decision in the
merger case is a great victory for the
government and the people Of the
United States and a credit to the Re-
publican administration which pushed
the issue TO a final determination.
That the vote was close only accentu
ates the knotty problems of constitu-
tional law with which the eminent
iurists had to wrestle. The strength
OF the opposition should also make it
clear to those who would wipe out
corporations and trusts at one fell
swoop. that they have certain rights
under the laws of the country. This
merger would never have been at
tempted without the owe first con-
sulting some of the ablest lawyers in
the country. hence the greater the
victory after the fierce contention of
intellectual giants.
The people generally care but very
little for fine spun interpretations of
the law and technicalities when the
public good is at stake. and while a
supreme court justice may take pride
in his legal knowledge and in the
soundness of his opinions, he UNI
doubtedly has some latitude or at
least exercises it when wise public
policy demands il.
Ii there eve was a case before the
court which demanded the exercise OF
broad views. in the determination OF
the rights of the government and that
of the merger this was one. The de-
cision will be ~far-reaching in its eff,
fects.
Justice Harlan, who rendered the
majority decision. says:
mo scheme or device could Ger
tainly more effectively come within
the prohibition Of the antitrust Law
and it is. within the meaning of the
act. a trust"
The Democratic press has never
lost an opportunity to accuse the adj
ministration of i~nsincerity in oppos
ing the trusts. never making allow
ance Tor the TACT that such cases
make slow progress before the court
of last resort.
This decision may not please some
sleek individuals in Wall street wht
wanted unbridled license in the for
nation of trusts. but il will be hail
ed with satisfaction by the rest OF the
country.

national convention to be held in Chi
cago on June 2lst.
In order TO avoid the trouble of call
ing primaries throughout the county
at this early season of the year it
has been deemed best to call as many
precinct committeeman and Republi-
cans generally together as can con
veniently attend the meeting.
II Is particularly urged ,Iat every
precinct in the county be represent
ed either by the committeeman or
some one authorized to represent him.
These, together with the central COM
mittee, will choose the delegates to
the state convention.
Fergus county Is entitled to a large
delegation and II should be complete.
Generally there Is very little desire
to attend the first state convention
when there are two to be held the
same year, hence il becomes almost
a matter of duty on the part of those
who do attend.
While there is no doubt as to the
choice of Montana Republicans when
1t comes to the presidential candidate
it is important that the convention
be made a representative one. Here
tofore Fergus county has been well
represented at state conventions al
though the distance and means OF
transportation entailed some hard
ships. It is reasonable to suppose
that the Montana railroad will be
running its trains by the date of the
convention and in all likelihood re
duced rates will be extended to dele
gates, in which case there should be
a full delegation from this county.
If there are any Republicans in the
county who can spare the time and
are willing to make a little sacrifice
for the party by serving it as a dele
gate they would confer a favor upon
,ae committee by sending in their
names or making their willingness
known. iere will be a chance foI
all who desire to attend.
Not only precinct committeeman
but as many Republicans as can are
requested to attend the meeting on
April 5th, as matters of Importance
to the party are to be discussed and
plans adopted for carrying on the
coming campaign. Give a little time
to the party of your choice.
