There are eight or ten daily news
papers that would be a credit TO any
city in the United States. and yet the
whole population of Montana is not
as large as that of Milwaukee, Wis,
and that city does not produce a
newspaper that will compare with
some of those issued in Montana
Independent.
The above is absolutely true of a
majority of the dailies published in
this state. While the principal dai.
lies are a credit to Montana from the
point OF ability and w service the
population and advertising patronage
do not warrant such a high standard.
II millionaires and wealthy corpora
tons desire to spend their money in
maintaining such papers it is their
business and the public is gamer.
provided the power of the press is not
used to accomplish personal and cor.
porate ends to the detriment Of the
people.

A JAPANESE GAME.

A very popular game is kotoro. In
this there is long line OF children, one
behind another, each holding to the
child in front OF him. The biggest boy,
who is the leader, is at the head Of the
line. aud at the end is the smallest boy.
Then there is big boy. the catcher,
who tries to seize the little fellow at the
end OF the line. 1t is the duty OF the
leader to face the catches constantly,
and go prevent him from running to the
end of the line and grabbing the small
bsy. As the leader moves so must the

ONE CONVENTION.

The county Republican central COM
mittee meets at Montesano next Mon.
dav, when the matter Of holding one or
two county conventions will be decided.
The two leading counties OF the state,
King and Pierce, have decided in favor
OF one convention. and we believe their
decision meets with the approval OF q
large majority of the people OF Washing
ton. Why hold two conventions when
the same results can be attained by one?
The only argument against The one con.
vention proposition comes from candi-
dates who belive the extension of time
between the convention and the election
would be too long a strain on their glad
hands, private and public records.
While the feature OF the one convention
may be unwelcome to the political job
chaser, his constituents will have an OPP
portunisy to get better acquainted with
him, md if necessary, enfold to him one
of the many hard lvck stories so prevail
ent on the eve Of election. However,
there is one consolation.in store for the
men who are so eager to sacrifice their
time for the public welfare, and that is,
there is no compulsion, an the dear
people will not want in vain for political
benefactors who will take chance
