M0NTANANS LIKE
GOV. VAN SAINT
Common Run of People Would
Gladly Support Him for Vice
President.
Merger Decision Relished by All
Except the Democrats and
Amalgamated Men.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, March 19.-There is
almost universal rejoicing in Montana
over the decision of the supreme court
of the United States in the railroad
merger case. Business men, stock
men, railroad men and people in every
walk of life recognize that the opera
ton of the Great Northern, the North
ern Pacific and the Burlington rail-
roads as distinct corporations means
far more for the advancement Of the
state and the entire northwest than
would be the case if the consolidation
and joint operation Of the three roads
were permitted.
The people Of Montana are not given
to batting corporations, at least not
railroad corporations; they realize that
the railroads are the most important
factors in building up the state; but
at the same time they desire all of the
benefits that accrue from competition
between common carriers.
AS might be expected, the news
papers Of the state controlled by the
Amalgamated Copper company are
not bubbling over in praise of the
courts decision-there is too much
of similarity between the position
Of the railroads and the copper hold
ing company to expect anything Of the
kind. There is a covert attempt on
the part of these papers to discredit
the Importance of the decision.
Democrats Question Motive.
The papers Of democratic proclivi-
ties say that Roosevelt and the ad-
ministration will attempt to make po-
litical capital out of the decision. The
republican evening paper of Butte in
dulged in about a column Of sneering
at Governor Van SAINT, winding up Its
TRADE by :ntimating that the, Mime
sofa governor took action for political
reasons and expressing the doubt
whether he will be helped thereby IN
political way. For a paper processing
to be republican this struck many as
a remarkable statement, in view Of the
| fact that President Roosevelt took an
| advanced position against the merger.
incidentally it might be remarked
| that the outcome Of the agitation
against the merger has won host OF
friends and stanch supporters IN Mon
| tana for Governor Van SAINT and many
| are heard to express themselves as OF
| the opinion he would make excellent
vice presidential timber. Governor
/ Toole is also coming In for unst1nted
praise.
Shippers and Railroad Men Pleased
Shippers generally rejoice over the
decision, especially in Butte, which is
the largest freight shipping point be-
tween the twin cities and the coast
and naturally the most interested
The railroad men of the state are not
a bit backward in praising the de-
cision, as almost to a man they feared
that a combination Of the roads might
bring about a reduction in salaries OF
a. cutting down of the force Of en-
ployees.
The sentim ent of the Minnesota gov.
ernor that the decision is the most
important since the civil war finds
hearty Endorsement in Montana, which
has been learning something Of
merger tactics. So

FOODS WORK
How 1t Cured Paralysis.

Paralysis comes from weak nerves
and bad blood and is often cured now
adays by proper feeding.
For fifteen years I was an invalid,
haven't walked a step for over twelve
years, not able to move my feet, or
even my toes"
But recently a wonderful thing has
happened, for I had never expected to
have the use Of my limbs again; q
four months diet of Grape-Nuts Food
for breakfast and supper, made the
change and now just think Of it. + can
move my toes freely on my left foot
and little on the right foot, and can
let the foot piece of my chair down
and swing my feet vigorously, which 7
think Is wonderful Improvement for
the time have used the food. $
"And that Is not all. My blood and
my stomach are so much better I am
confident my trouble came from too
much rich food and an overstrain of
the nerves, but my nerves are much
better, my mind is clearer and I don't
forget things like T did. 1t must be
cine years ago for the paralysis.
"Of course have the sympathy and
prayers of many Christians but it is
wonderful what good pure food will do
for one out of health, and why would
1t not be as good to keep ones health
up? I have heard lots of others praise
Grape-Nuts, but I for one cannot
praise it enough" Name given by
Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.
Here was q well-defined case of
paralysis which came from weaken
ed nerves and blood trouble, and
which began yielding almost imme-
diately when proper food Grape-Nuts
was substituted for improper food.
There's a reason.

little book, THE Road to Wellville."

MAY IR0T MILE IN 'l:4O
HORSE REVIEW SAYS THE LIMIT
HAS NOT BEEN REACHED BY
LOU DILLON.

On the appearance of every cham
pion there are those who say that he
or she Is a phenomenon and that their
equal is not likely to appear again in
many years, says the Horse Review.
Just at present this is being said Of
Lou Dillon. Granted that she is
ahead Of her time, still the past
prompts us to hope that greater trot-
ters are in the womb Of the not too
distant future. I believe that Lou
Dillon will trot in 1855 this season,
and I am not alone in this belief.
Nevertheless, hold that there may be
in the decade a faster trotter.
In discussing this not long since.
a friend asked me Where in the name
of sense did I expect trotters to
reach" Coming back to the first
part Of this story, and having the
knowledge that trotters, like runners,
have the faculty Of pure flight, told
him that I reckoned the future to fur
nish a mile by trotter in LAO or bet
ter, and 7 seriously meant it, too.
So far as breeding is concerned, the
best of our trotters are veritable
plebians, having but five or six gene
rations of trotting ancestors behind
them. Even SO we are closing on the
runners with great leaps and the most
sanguine hopes are not impossible of

HEARST DEMANDS
TRUST INQUIRY
Candidate for Presidency Asks
for Sweeping Investigation
by House.

Washington. March 19.-Represen-
tative Hearst Of New York has intro
duced resolution providing for an
investigation of the trust question by
a committee Of five members of the
house. The resolution contains ten
clauses, reciting the evil effects of the
trusts upon the country, among them
being the following:
Numerous illegal combinations known
as trusts have been formed to absorb or
eliminate competition and establish vir-
tua1 monopol1es with a view to controlling
production and raising the price Of their
products. ." ~ "
Such extortionate trusts as the beef
trust and the coal trust and the ice trust
have arbitrarily increased the cost Of
those necessaries Of life to the public.
Such speculative trusts as the ship
yards trust and the steel trust have in
fated their stock to many times it's ac-
tual value and sold to the public. trans
ferring the peoples money from banks
and legitimate investments into the pock-
cts OF trust promoters and spectators.
Industrial unrest has been fomented by
the increased cost Of living and by the
consequent necessary efforts of labor tc
make it's wages keep pace with the in
creased cost of living.
Such trusts as the steel trust, in spite oil
the increased cost of living, have ruth
of thousands Of employees in order to pay
dividends on watered stock, and othel
trusts have wholly collapsed, throwing
hundreds Of thousands of workmen out O.
! employment.
The purchasing power of the community
has been diminished by the increasing O
the trust prices and other reprehensiblt
methods, by which they have misled thu
people, swindled them and robbed them O.
their savings.
All classes of the community are being
made to feel the influence of unrestrainet
greed and lawless practices Of the trusts
The committee is directed to inform
the house fully on the trust situa
ton, to the effect that more effective
| laws may be prepared and passed by
congress regulating and restricting
| trusts.
An additional resolution states tha
'it Is the sense Of the house, and i
does so recommend, that the laws al
ready existing against the trusts b,
in the meanwhile enforced by the ex
ecutive branch Of this government ant
the legal representatives thereof"
The resolutions were referred to thu
committee on rules.

NAV Prove Effective In Bringing
Turbulent Elements in Har-

Washington. Oct 81. - American
marines will be retained on the isth'
mus of Panama for the present, pre-
pared to meet any emergency winch
NAV arise as the result of the DIS
gruntled elements in the new repub-
lie. This decision was reached yes
terday and orders have been Issued
for a new battalion Of marines to go
to the isthmus about November 10 to
relieve the battalion which has been
there for a year. The new battalion
will be commanded by Lieut.. COL
Thomas Wood.
That the situation on the isthmus Is
still not all that could be desired IS
the news which came to Washington
in a personal letter from an oficial
now in Panama. While the Panama
government is entirely loyal, 1t seems
that there are certain disgruntled ele-
ments in the isthmus and In view OF
the ease with which revolutions are
started in Central and South America
II is the official opinion here that the
marines should. remain there for the
present.
II is hoped that the mission OF Sec
rotary Taft will have a far-reachlne
effect in bringing all elements on the
isthmus into harmonious accord with
this governments policy.
