SPEAKING OF TREES, ETC.

Well, the tree-planting proposition
manifestly meets with the marked ap-
proval of the citizens of Hamilton.
The opposing candidates for mayor
and all but one of the aldermanic
candidates pledged themselves in
favor of the proposition hence it
couldn't lose.
About the only opposition mani
tested to the tree planting proposition
during the campaign was that accord
ed by our esteemed contemporary, the
Ravalli Republican and it's dwindling
clique. That paper, in the course OF
an extraordinary, double-column
triple headed exhibition of personal
spleen directed at Mayor Romney,
denounced the tree-planting project,
taking the high moral grounds that
1t would enhance the value of numer-
GUS vacant lots owned by the Ana
conda Copper Mining Co!-seeming-
ly oblivious of the facts that if the
property Of that concern were to be
enhanced in value other peoples
property must of necessity enjoy a
corresponding benefit, and that the
shade, like the dews of heaven, must
fall upon the just and unjust alike!
In it's anxiety to tar others with the
same stick that has so sadly be.
smirched it, the Republican has man
aged to place itself in ridiculous
attitude. Its insincerity in this con
nection Is so obvious that by the
time it's company ISSUE boomerang
has bounded back to place, the con
temporary will probably be in a pitt

trees why didn't they plant them

ne matter was never considered
during Mr.. Rawlins' term-that gen
tleman had other troubles.
Nr. W. W. McCrackin assumed
the mayoralty in the spring Of 1898
and served four years. During that
time he not only had charge of the
company bank, but also managed the
company townsite and the company
water works plant. He and the coun-
ell, which contained several company
employees, were on harmonious terms.
Had the company desired TO set out
trees to enhance the value Of it's va
cant lots at the public expense, then
was golden opportunity. But the
trees were not set out. Why?
Last November, when the resoiu-
ton authorizing the planting Of trees
was brought before the council by
the mayor, Alderman Taylor, who for
ten years past has been manager of
the furniture department of the CON-
pany store, vehemently opposed the
measure, which finally passed with
ont his vote A few weeks ago when
tree planting time came Mr. Taylor and
three other aldermen, two of whom,
Messrs. Peterson and Trosdahl. are
not violently opposed to the company
by any means, blocked the improve
ment by notifying all concerned that
they would disallow any bills that
might be presented for carrying out
this work. An election being at hand,
the mayor suspended action and re-
ferred the whole matter to the people,
to be disposed of as they might see
fit. All but one of the candidates on
both tickets before election declared
in favor Of tree planting. 1t is worthy
of note that neither Messrs. Taylor
or Trosdahl were candidates for re-
election. If the company wanted
trees why did Mr.. Taylor SO strenu-
ously oppose the measure?
AS final "horrible example," take
the Ravalli Republican. The tree
planting project had been before the
people for months when suddenly
the Republican became almost hys-
terical in Remuneration of this i'm
provement. Does anyone recollect a
single instance when the Ravalli Re-
publican ever opposed a proposition
that the company wanted?
The Western News hereby offers

wherein "Proprietor" Sherman of the
Ravalli Republican was ever opposed
to anything that the A. G. M. com
pany really wanted-since the time

The Greatest Error of His Career
Was Charles' Execution.
The greatest error of Cromwell's life
was the execution Of the king. Not
that in this he showed himself a man
of blood. There was in him not a
particle of the terrorist Or of the pas
sion for regicide which slew the help
less king Of France. He had been pro-
voked no doubt by Charles double deal
ing, but he did not hate him; on the
contrary, he vas inclined to him and
had wished to come to terms with him.
Himself trimming with family affec-
ton, he had been touched by the sight
Of Charles with lis children. lie was
impelled to the f;t<l act by what seem
ed to him fell necessity and by the un-
comfortable wrath Of the army against
the king, whose %perfidious machina-
lions, while lie was treating with the
parliament for Il settlement. had kim
died the second civil war, with the
Scotch invasion, and brought them and
their cause once more into the extrem-
ity Of peril. 1t was at the prayer meet
ing of the soldiers ut Windsor, before
they marched against Hamilton, that
the kings doom was really pronounced.
The secret treaty with the Scotch for
the invasion of England brought
Charles to the block, and his offense
surely was capital, though its punish
ment was most ill advised. The death
of the captive king set the king free
and absolved the monarchy; it put in
expiable blood between the regicides
and a great part Of the nation, and
funk yism, far from being sickened, as
Carlyle says it was, tourished on the
