is its narrow appeal to class preju-

a share OF the wage-erning voters. but
in the past it has always worn itself
out in time. There is a latent re.
sentiment against this sort OF appeal,
which finally becomes manifest. Glass

There are some attractive features

DON'T PULL TOGETHER.

The Democratic papers OF this state
ale not an altogether harmonious
bunch, judging from the way the
Great Falls Tribune gets after the
Butte Miner for some editorial utter
ances relative to the initiative and
referendum. II is very evident that
the Miner does not favor any of the
proposed reform measures. In com.
menting, among other things, II says:
Most Of the alleged demand for
such things has been carefully worked
up into the dignity of an issue, and
the rank and file that insist upon
these alleged reforms. care little and
know less of what their practical ap.
plication may imply"
In reply to the above the Tribune
does not spare the feelings of polit.
zeal kinship in the following:
at may be predicted that II there
are any Republicans who would like
to bury the initiative and referendum,
and give the corporations unlimited
control of legislation. no paper in
Montana will give those Republicans
more hearty support tnan the Butte
Miner. II there are any Republican
leaders or corporation agents who are
.rying to devise ways and means to
hunco the people, they can count on
the active support of the Miner. unless
It reforms between now and the as
sembling Of the legislature.

1.-TWO years ago 40 per cent. of the
voters of This state petitioned the leg
islature to give them an opportunitJ.
To vote on an initiative and referen'
dun amendment bill. There was nc
public sentiment in that, according IL
the Miner. But when. is months ago
petitions obtained largely by duress
and representing 3s per cent Of tht
voters were sent To Governor Toole
asking for a special session Of the
legislature To give the ~Amalgamated
Copper company the No Trial legis
lation IL wanted. the Miner saw a great
tidal wave of popular sentiment.
THE Miner should adopt a motto
and print il in red ink across its first
page:
Everything for the corporations
nothing for the people"
While Republicans generally fee
that platform pledges should be KEPT
and there is nothing to indicate that
they will not be. the Democratic press
seems to be making it an issue and
are getting overheated in the discus
sion of the subject. Evidently the
Tribune and the Miner don't pull a.

Vi uhe law is to take Juvenile offenders

shield them from communicating in

edged by all students of criminology.
A sentence in the Jail or ~penitentiary

better surroundings, might have be.

against the law. II is a question
whether there is a demand for them
IN the rural communities or villages
oil a state. The working of the juven-
lie court in Chicago has received con.
siderable notice in The press of that
city and always with the greatest of
commentator. Speaking of these
courts in his message, President
Roosevelt says:
In the vital matter of taking care
OF children, much advantage could be
gained by a careful study of what has
been accomplished in such states as
Illinois and Colorado by the juvenile
courts. The work oil the juvenile
court Is really a work of character
building. 1t is now generally recog-
nlzed that young boys and girls who
go wrong should not be treated as
criminals, not even necessarily as
needing reformation, but rather as
needing TO have their characters form.
ed. N for this end to have them
tested and developed by a system of
probation. Much admirable work has
been done in many of our common.
wealths by earnest men and women
who have made a special study of the
needs OF those classes of children
which furnish the greatest number of
juvenile offenders. and therefore the
greatest number of adult offenders;
and by their aid, and by prohibiting
the experiences of the different states
and cities In these matters. it would
be easy to provide a good code for
the district of Columbia"
Possibly there is a demand in Mon

good people of Butte should be among
the first to discover 1t and t o urge
the matter upon the attention of the

WILL MARRIAGES DECREASE?

The American dollar Is the armor
from which glance all of the darts OF
the modern cupid says Judge and
United States Court Commissioner
John A. Daniels of Wisconsin.
Judge Daniels declares that a re-
markable falling of in marriage is
due to the high wages paid to girls
and women for labor. He says that
girls, able to support themselves in
ease. do not seek matrimony.
This. he believes. is proof thai mat
rimony vas eve the elimination Of
love, but the inevitable result OF the
dependence of women upon the stern
er sex for support. He holds that with
the continuing and advancing COM
mercial prosperity Of tho country mat
rimony gradually will become a thing
OF the past.
We fear the judges views are too
pessimistic by far. While it may true
that girls who are able to support
themselves are exercising a little
more Independence than formerly, 1t
does not follow that they are unmoy-
ed BY the divine sentiment Of love-
On the other hand their Independence
enables them to. place a greater val
ne on their own worth as well as saw
ing them from the awful consequences
of a too, hasty marriage in order to
remove the burden of their support
from their parents or other relatives
The girl who has the ambition and
ability to go out into the world and
earn her own living Will not be pass
ed up like a white chip when she
meets the man worthy of her hand.
There will be mutual reciprocation
and cupid will be right in evidence
with his darts and arrows, and he will
not have TO be tipped" TO give an en-
hibition of his skill with the bow.
A change of conditions or circumstail-
ces is not going to put cupid out of
business so easy as that.
There have been too many mar
riages merely for masculine support,
Raise the standard of woman's indie
pendence and she is less likely to
make a sacrifice for a home which is
only that in name.
Few will believe with Judge Daniels
that ''matrimony was never The culmi'
nation of love, but the inevitable re-
suit of the dependence of women up,
on the sterner sex for support" We
would rather have the testimony OF
Mrs. Daniels on that point. Such a
statement is lust too ean for any.
thing and will not be endorsed by
any woman's club in America.
The times have been so hard in
this country that young men could moi
AFFORD TO marry, but now comes this
Judge and says that II our prosperity
increases much more 'matrimon!
gradually will become a thing of the
past" Not on your life, judge. Cupit
