gate the subject and have maps made
for the selection of reservoir sites.
Governor Toole does not claim.
and his friends do not claim for him,
that he is the father of irrigation, but
when 1t comes to question Of par
entage, Governor Toole has better
claim than either Roosevelt or Car
ter. Summing up his first speech III
favor of an appropriation, Delegate
Toole drew these conclusions:
First, that agriculture can be
promoted and made certain on what
is now sterile land, and thereby add
50 per cent to the area Of agricul-
tural lands of the United States.
Second, that the irrigation and
reclamation of this vast domain is
beyond the possibility of private en-
terprise, and a proper subject for
government control.
"Thlrd, that the increase in the
value Of the arid lands, thus reclaim
ed and now worthless, will more than
justify the expenditure involved"

"TOM CARTER, THE FATHER OF
lRRi0ATlON.''

Speaking at Denver recently, Sec
retary Shaw said President Roose-
velt Is entitled to the credit for the
irrigation movement. But Senator
Dolliver said at Glendive last week
that tom Carter is the father of ir-
rigation," and at Helena Senator
Fairbanks, the republican candidate
for vice president, made this state
ment: "The man to first bring the
attention OF the government to the
subject of national irrigation, and
the attention of the country also, was
the commissioner of the general land
office, who now sits on the platform
with me- In the future, when Mon
tana is developed and a great popu-
lation lives and prospers within ber

whom the citizens of Montana can
pay tribute for their work in re-
claiming the desert lands-Theodore
Roosevelt and L. II. Carter" !"
This is the first time that the peo-
Pile of Montana have heard that Tom
Carter was the first man to call the
attention of the government to irrl-
cation. Long before Thomas came
to Montana, Major Maginnis, when
delegate in congress from Mon
tana, made speeches in favor of ap.
propriating money for irrigation
The first speech was made in June,
the second in September, in favor OF
appropriating s25O,OOO of the sur.

SPEAKING OF COMPANY
EMPLOYEES.

Finding himself enmeshed by a
chain of facts that demonstrate CON
clusively that he has been simply act
ing as land agent for the Amalga-
mated Timber trust, instead of repre-
senting the whole people down at
Washington during the past two
years, Congressman Joe Dixon and
his stool pigeons are frantically seek
ing to extricate him by means of
gross misrepresentation and per-
sonal abuse.
Instead of explaining why he saw
fit to provide for the sale of the tim
Der on the Flathead reservation to
the Amalgamated Timber trust and
TO appoint one, Sherman, to the su-
pervisorship of the Bitter Root forest
reserve over the heads of numerous
deserving republican applicants, Joe
ducks and sidesteps.
Touching the matter of his ap-
pointment of Mr. Dwight Hughes, a
confidential man IN the Amalgamated
Timber trusts branch office at Ham
ilton, to the position of private secre-
tary, Mr.. Dixon said he wanted to
show his appreciation of Ravalli
county's vote in tie last election by
boosting "a Bitter Root boy" He
then sought to dlsarm the criticism
of The Western News by imputing
to it prejudice against the company
and it's employees.
Not on your tin-type, Joseph!
While emphaticaIly opposed to turn
ing the legislature, the judiciary, the
state house, the timber and Indian
reservations, etc, over to any corpor-
alton, The Western News most posit-
lively disclaims any prejudice against
the employees OF such concerns, or
the concerns themselves so long rs
they eontine their operations to leglti-
mate business or industrial lines.
None know better than the editor
of The Western News that the vast
majority of the employees of the A. G.
Nj. Co., for example, are among the
most honest, warmhearted, patriotic
and conscientious people on earth
but these are of different type than
Mr.. Dixon's appointees to Office from
Ravalli county!

The New York Sun declares that
"Judge Parker stands without reserve
or qualification for territorial re-
trenchment and general down haul
ing of the flag in both oceans' The
Sun knows better, but elects to make
its campaign on falsehoods. Judge
Parker stands for territorial honesty
without the sham of "benevolent as
similation" or the hypocracy of "our
duty to the Filipinos' He stands
for the real meaning of the flag-hon-
esty, freedom, self government, no
taxation without representation and
no carpetbaggism. There is no dis
honor in refusing to retain stolen
goods, and no ''little Americanismo
in insisting that the American flag is
too sacred an emblem to float over a
country ruled outside of the consti-
tuition and in direct contradiction of
the spirit of our free institutions.
The hauling down of our flag in Gu
ba and Mexico reflected vastly more
credit upon this great republic than
can ever be reflected upon it by keep
ing 1t flying in the Philippines IN Vi
olation of every principle and tradi-
tion upon which the republic is

George Frisbie Hoar, U. S sena-

into the unending sleep. The vet

him appeared right. The passing

DEr1OCRATiC TICKET AND
PLATFORr1.

Our state ticket commands the
hearty support of the democratic par
ty and the various reform forces en-
rolled under it's banners. 1t IS com-
posed of clean and capable men,
wearing no corporation collars, and
It's candidates stand upon a plat
form which means what it SAYS:
which has no ifs and and's or plan Ii
respecting reform measures, whose
adoption is favored, ''if properly safe
guarded" Anyone able to read can
readily understand every demand
and pledge contained in the demo-
cratic state platform. It is not sus
ceptible to misconstruction or ev;
sion.
But what counts for great deal
more Is the fact that the candidates
fit the platform and the platform the
candidates. From Governor Toole
down, the candidates are ardent ad-
vocates of the reform measures incor-
porated in the platform-there is no
eleventh hour repentance business
IN their records.
That such ticket, under the mag
nificent, capable and aggressive lead
ershlp OF Joe Toole, will command
the support and confidence of the
masses and sweep the state is fore
gone conclusion. The maiorities of
all the democratic candidates will be
decisive ones. 1t will not be nee
essary to wait for the official count to
determine the result. Dillon Ex-

Her throat was cut from ear TO ear. and
when discovered by Mrs. Mayhem, a rusty
razor lay alongside the seemingly lfeless

have been severed and death would have
been almost instantaneous.
Just what prompted her to attempt her

BUSINESS MEN BALK
At THE METRIC SYSTEM
Committee Submits Report to Gov
ernorS of the Board Of
Trade.
TEN FOR, TEN AGAINST
Board Will Refuse to Indorse Bill
Before Congressional Deal
erS' Plea.

Considerable discussion was occasioned at
the meeting of indianapolis Board of Trade
governors last night by a committees re-
port which was in opposition to bill now
pending in Congress to adopt the metric
system of weights and measures in prefer
ence to the system now used.
The discussion was evenly divided. Those
concurring in the report contended that the
adoption of the metric system would cause
a great deal of confusion i'm business circles
by forcing business men to learn a new
system, of which there was no need. Those
who were opposed TO the report and sane
toned the passage of the bill held that
sooner or later the metric system would
become universal and that IL would be as
well TO adopt IL at once. After discussing
the matter at great length a vote was
taken, which stood ten for and ten opposed
10 the adoption of the new system. The
against the adoption and the report OF the
committee was approved.
communication was received from the
Indiana Grain Dealers Association askins
that the Board of Trade cooperate with
the association in securing legislation fol
the betterment of car service for the trans
pOrtation OF grain and the board voted In
favor of the request. A communication was
also received from the Boston Chamber OF
Commerce suggesting that as the United
States had treaties of arbitration with
number of foreign countries such a treaty
should be consummated between This coun
try and England and that the matter b'
placed before the International Peace Con
ference, which will sit at The Hague. The
movement of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce concurred in by the Indianapoli:
Board of Trade.
The chairman of the convention of grain
dealers, which recently met in New York
sent a letter to the board stating that tn
convention had voted to place the grading
OF grain under the control of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture at Washington and tn
board voted in favor of the action of tn
convention.
Resolutions on the death of Mr.. Justu
G.. Adams, who died recently, were rea'
and adopted. IL was voted to send a cop,

cedent. Mr.. Adams had been a member o
