their sacharine qualities have been
raised in the Yellowstone valley.
Why not make a test of the soil and

According to the Butte papers
there were tears and signs and floY
ers galore at the funeral of murderer
James Martin last week. In fact there
were greater exhibitions of sorrow
than at the funeral of the man he
murdered in cold blood. But this
murder was committed nearly two
years ago. The victims name was
John II. Williams, a railroad employe.
Ii has been so long since the crime
was committed that not only the

tending the crime have been forgot

state, hence these tears, signs and

an honest, hard working man. He
may have had a family or a mother
dependent upon him for support. But
his occupation was hazardous and he
was found one night in an isolated
spot at Silver Bow Junction and muir

one of them. Both were convicted OF

The senate ratified the Panama

The reservation In the above is

litical advantage than 1t does for

the opposition there was to the canal

methods used 20 secure the treaty"
The facts are the methods were per,
lcctly honorable and justiiable and are
sustained H. Democratic treaties and
precedents when the party stood for
something worthy of the confidence
Of the people. While pretending "a

anxious to make a little capital
against President Roosevelt because
he was alert in recognizing the in
dependence OF Panama after the at
tempt of the Colombian government
to buncoe the United States and de
lay indefinitely any action toward Sc
curing a canal at all.

America in respect to the building

America in respect to the building
and equipping of war vessels.
Unless the United States is willing
to permit invasions of South or Cen
trail American countries or of a West
Indian island like Hayti by Europe
powers. it must adhere to a policy of
liberal additions to its navy. There
must be no thought of retrenchmen'

Herbert Spencer was a pacific phil
osopher, who thought himself COM
petent to give advice to nations as
well as to individuals. He gave adj
vice to Japan after the war with Chi

mercy of Russia. China did what
Herbert Spencer wished Japan to do
and is now dependent for existence
on the mercy and ~forbearance of for
eign nations. If the United States
were to cultivate the ~Spencerian
philosophy and neglect the manly art
of self-defense we would have to retire
from the councils of the world into ig-
noble isolation. We can not assert
a policy admittedly distasteful to
many foreign powers unless We are
in a position to show a fleet as strong
as that of any nation we may have
to contend with. In the last analysis
na,.onal policies are maintained and
respected only when the thunder of

behind them. browns the protests of

OUR NAVY.

Congressman Bede of Minnesota
said. in the speech which introduced
him to the house and the country:
Il would like to suggest to this
house. not alone to one side of ii, that
the Monroe doctrine is just as big as
the United States navy. and no big
ger. Ii you should destroy u navy
today you would have no Monroe doc
trine tomorrw. If you build up the
navy you can extend the Monroe doc
trine, and you can do as you will with
it."
The new representative from Min
nesota abounds in wisdom. The
United States cannot assert any au-
thority over this hemisphere unless
1t is prepared to back 1t up by force
and to resist invasion. no matter
from what quarter II may come. In
all probability, If the war with Spain
had not demonstrated that the Ameri-
can navy was efficient in its per-
sonnel-that we had men behind the
guns, and that the guns were good
ones-there would have been before
now some attempt by a European
power to establish itself by force on
the South American continent or in
the West Indies. We should have
been called upon 10 make good our

to believe that the Spanish war saw.
ed us from another, whose result
would have been far o serious and
whose issue might have been in con
siderable doubt for a time.
1t is worse than foolishness-it is
criminal madness-to talk either OF
diminishing our navy or OF permit
ting IL to stop where II Is, and thus
allow 1t to deteriorate, so long as the
other great powers of the world are
adding to their sea forces. The Ger
man navy is and for q lumber OF
years will continue to be superior to
the American navy in tonnage, arma'
ment. and number of e While
IT might not be able to cope with
ours in our own waters, owing to Its
distance from the base OF supplies
and its lack of coaling facilities, II
would be quite equal to doing SO In

facilities for obtaining supplies and
making good losses were the same
There is no reason to believe that
the German navy is inferior to ours
in point of personnel. The Germans
are as much a seagoing race as the
Americans. The ability they nave

The shipment Of beef and mutton
to Pacific coast points is a matter
that should be given careful atten-
ton this year. Idere is a growing
demand for beef and mutton on the
western coast and the day will be
hailed with JOY when the Montana
stockmen will not be altogether de-
pendent upon the Chicago market in
disposing Of their shipments. 1t may
be some time and a good many it
ducements will have to be offered
before many shipments to the west
are made from this state, because
shippers, above all things, must have
a sure and ready market, such as
they now have in Chicago, even
though the price is not always salts

ton. There is not much chance for

The manufacture of print paper is
under the control of a trust and the
price is about double what II should
be. At a recent meeting of the News
paper Publishers association in New
York City resolutions were adopted
requesting the government to insti'
tute proceedings against the trust.
Because there is a tariff on wood
pulp, from which practically all print
is made, the Butte Miner sings the
familiar song about the tariff being
the mother of trusts and accuses
Republican editors of being silent on
this matter OF vital Importance TO
themselves out of fear of appearing
inconsistent owing to the protective
feature. There is nothing to show
that the small duty on wood pulp Is
in any way responsible for the extor'
ton practiced by the print paper
trust, If 1t can be demonstrated that
such is the case we believe every Re
publican newspaper publisher in the
country would favor the removal 81

any other semi-raw materials used by
the trusts. Protection can not right
