Unless he gives speedy evidence of
a better understanding as regards the
details of regimental organization the
military editor of the Anaconda Stand
ard may never hope to gain distinction
in his special line of work. A regi-
mental commissary sergeant with the
rank of corporal may be common
enough where. the Standards scribe
comes from, but in the United States
service he is a stranger.

TIMELY AND PROPER.

By the very decided stand he took
at the meeting of the state committee,
Chairman Lindsay succeeded in estab-
fishing a precedent that must meet
with the earnest approval of every
republican in Montana who places
party above individual and who is ami
mated by political desires more ex-
allied than the advancement of per-
sonal ambitions or qualification of sell
fish wishes. In insisting that the COM
mittee should act upon the resolution
which was provocative of the very
plain declaration from him he gave
notice that SO far as he was con-
cerned the organization would always
be regarded as paramount to the unit
entering into it's composition and that
the duty of managing the party's af-
fairs and the responsibility assumed
by the body selected for the discharge
of those obligations also carried with
it certain rights belonging to it and
which it should be permitted to exer-
else in it's discretion, if thereby the
probability of success was enhanced.
1t must be admitted that in this he
was right, Notwithstanding that in the
past the principle for which he con-
tended has often been ignored by the
assumption of authority by individuals
in total disregard of the wishes of the
advisory body and in violation of the
prerogatives vested in it.
Although upon the state and local
organizations the burden of manag
ment has always been placed, in.
stances are only too plentiful, when,
after the battle was over, those who
had borne it's brunt were ignored in
the matter of making recommends
lions for federal appointments and
Individual dictation presumed to be
superior to party wishes. Mr.. Lind
say has given notice that so long as
he is the accepted official head of
the states party organization this
course will not be permitted without
a vigorous protest. If rewards are
to be bestowed they shall be given
as merit demands and in RECOGNITION
OF services performed-not for the
benefit of individuals, but for the
benefit of the party. This rule adopted
and strictly adhered to will be result
ant of renewed activity, an arousine
OF enthusiasm and an earnestness ri
endeavor that a have but one end,
an overwhelming victory by the party
In every future campaign. 1t will
place all upon an equality and mini
mlze the possibility of personal resent
ment and go a long way toward reduc
ing the danger of defeat incident to 9
growth of factionalism.

A VOTING TRUST.
Hills Scheme if Decision Is Adverse
to Merger. -.

New York, Feb. 24.-James j.. Hill
said to some personal friends that he
expected a decision in the Northern
Securities case next Tuesday and felt
confident it would be favorable to the
company.
Other men who are prominently
identified with the company, however,
do not hold this view. They expect
the decision will be adverse and that
it will he necessary to wind up the
company's corporate existence.
In that event it is practically GER
tain that a voting trust will be organ
lied and that control of the stock for
a period of years will be placed in
the hands of certain men now promin-
ent in the company.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Hill will be on
the voting trust, if it is necessary to
organize one, and E.. H. Hartman
will be included personally or by rep
r~esentation. Not more that three men
will be placed in control.
There will be a pro rata division of
the stock of the Great Northern and
| Northern Pacific, now held by the
Northern Securities company, to the
holders of the stock Of the latter cor
poration.
The control of the Burlington goes
| with the Northern Pacific and the
| Great Northern so that the present
control of these three companies prac-
ticalIy will be unchanged.

ATE POISONED BREAD.
Five Members Of a Family Dead at
cayuga, l.. T..

Cayuga. l. r., Feb. 25.-Five mem
bers of the family of P. S. Crawford
are dead as the result of eating bread
in which arsenic poison had been
mixed by mistake for baking powder.
Crawford bought the arsenic to be
used in medicine for hogs and placed
it in an empty baking powder can.
His wife thought it was baking pow
der and used it in making bread.
Bert Crawford, a son, is the only sur
viving member of the family. He did
not eat any of the bread.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

Billings takes off it's hat to the
gentlemen composing the republican
state central committee and makes
grateful acknowledgment of the honor
they have accorded it in selecting it
as the place for holding the onven
ton which shall nominate the next
state ticket to be put in the field by
the party. 1t is IN honor of which
to be proud and one we'll worth striv-
ing for by any city, whether great
or small. 1t carries with it a two
fold distinction-recognition of the
city's hospitality and the loyalty of
the republicans of eastern Montana,
proof of which has been given on too
many hard fought fields. 1t will be
Billings greatest pleasure and pride
to show its worthiness Of the tribute
given it, and the delegates and all
others who may come are assured
night here that they will have no
cause of regret at the decision of the
committee.
While not so large. as some of the
other cities that would gladly nave &C
cepted what was given it, the Magic
City will afford an opportunity to
many to see with their own eyes what
their ears have only heard. The guests
will be cared for, generously, hospita-
bly, and unselfishly, and their pleas
ure will be our command. No fear
need be entertained by any that Bill
ings will prove unequal to the occa-
sion. There will be ample shelter
and fare for all, and on top of this will
be a welcome as cordial and as hear.

Lindsay was its supporter, not covert
