WALK INTO MY PARLoR."
Invitation Extended by Antitrust Par
ty to Crawl into Band Wagon. Il

~ " STdWu lHIo 6dn0 wagon.
The antitrust party, organized al
Helena last winter, has issued it's frs.
formal invitation to all those who are
politically weary and are desirous ot
busting the trusts and corporations
to join the movement by sending their
names to the secretary of the organi-
zation at Butte.
The invitation is sent out over the
signature of Mr.. George OF this city,
who is chairman of the committee on
ways and means to bust the trusts in
Montana. The document reads like
the old story of the spider and the
fly. 1t says:
Dear Sir: Your name has been
presented to me as man who is
friendly to the principles advocated by
the antitrust party, and as having
considerable influence in the vicinity
In which you live. l therefore take
the liberty of addressing you and ask.
ing you to correspond with me, Civ
ing any suggestions you may have as
to the policy to be pursued by the
new party. You, Of course, know the
political conditions existing in the
state of Montana at the present time.
You are undoubtedly aware that both
old parties are under the control of
powerful corporations. The policy of
the antitrust party will be to pro-
tect every mans political rights It
will ask no man to forego his political
principles in national affairs, but re-
quest that all good citizens, irrespect-
i've Of party, unite in saving the state
of Montana from corporate control.
II respectfully request that you
write me, giving such information and
advice as you see fit, and also furnish
me with a list of names of men who
are friendly to our cause and who are
influential in your vicinity. All cor
should be addressed to
Mr.. H. F. Collins, secretary of the
antitrust party, Butte, Mont, and will
be treated as confidential, il requested.
Il will be very glad to hear from
you and consider any suggestions you
have to make. Any time you happen
in Butte, please call at the antitrust
headquarters, where you will be well
come. Yours very truly,
wv. B. GEORGE"

residence at Helena.

IN nOMnern Montana since his brief
residence at Helena. M
The democrats ought to fuse again
with "Jim" Donovan. His knowledge
as successful livestock farmer, gain
ed during the last few years while at
tending to the duties of the people at
the state capital, would be a great
aid to the success of the party ticket
at the polls.
Some Want Antitrust Chairman.
While no statement is obtainable
from that gentleman, it is claimed
that State Chairman George Of the
Heinze antitrust party would be will
Ing to shut up shop and go back to
his first love, the democrats, providing
that party would give him the nomina-
tion for state treasurer.
1t is generally conceded that the ex-
perience Mr. George has had during
the past year in financing the anti
trust party fits him admirably as q
candidate for the office of state treasA
u1er, and it is also conceded that.
should he be elected he would be ablA
to make good many Of the promjZes
which have been given out in order
to get men to join the trust busters.
The control Of the state funds would
be great panacea for the politicaI
ills of some peOple in this state Wild
have been 80 discontented, and 1t ID
believed that the nomination Of thA
Billings gentleman for that Office
would preclude every possibility OF
placing a third state ticket in the
field.
1t would also make fusion complete
at the democratic state convention at
Helena and make the track the more
clear for complete republican victory
in the state next November.

SAME OLD GAME.
Ben Haser and Livingston Taxpayer
Lock Horns.

Ben Hager, known to the people of
Billings as cement walk contractor
and sewer builder, as well as mixer
on every side of politics, has turned
up against an injunction issued out
OF the district court of Park county
at Livingston, at the instance of John
r. King, also a former resident of
this city.
Hager has faculty of getting
next" to the men directly in charge
of city governments in Montana when
there are contracts to let for public
improvements. He has operated in
a good many towns of the state and
his latest venture is at Livingston,
where the town council concluded to
go into the cement sidewalk business.
OF course Hager in some way got in
ON the ground floor with his bid, al
though 1T is said that the bid he sub
mitted to the council of that city
was rs per cent higher than any Of
the other bids for the work, but the
job was knocked off to Hager just the
same.
This raised the ire of Mr.. King.
who is never happier than when en-
gagged in a scrap, and the result is
that the action of the Livingston city
council in letting the contract to
Hager is to be reviewed by the judge
OF the district court before the peo-
pie shall enjoy the pleasures of put
ting up for LIE Hager graft.

PASSING OF FREE RANGE.
New Mexico's Delegate Gives Good Advice to Those uyins on tine Public Domain.

In a recent letter to a New Mexico newspaper Delegate to Congress Rodey gives some advice to the people of New Mexico which is applicable to other portions of the west:
 'Now that the session of congress is over, and am getting little time to look around me, l thought perhaps a few words from me with reference to the public domain generally in New Mexico, might not be amiss.
 ''In my session and a half of ser vice in congress here, and my three years service around the departments, for the territory, I have become con- vinced on few points as to the policy of the government. The day of free things in this country is passing fast, but short time and no land will be permitted to be entered by anybody, save as homestead. In short time every available bit of forest in the na- tion will be included in forest re- serve, and the range rider will be as numerous as cowboys were few years ago. Free water, free grass, free coal and free timber will in a short time be things of the past. The policy of the government appears to be to get revenue for almost every available asset the government has. Forestry has come to stay. Free range will soon beno more, and every bit of available land for pasture, or for minerals, will be let out by the government to settlers and rangers the same as though it were private prop erty.
 "My advice to the people of New Mexico living upon the public domain, or using it, is to bestir themselves and get title to their homes, to their water rights, to their timber rights, to their coal lands, and to their range ground. Otherwise, they will, in a few years, lose it.
 "The reclamation service will do a great deal of good to the west; but it will take few years before the real magnitude of it will be seen, and the progress that will follow will surprise even the old residents of the vest"
