The supreme court of the United
States is asked to enjoin Senator
Thomas c. Platt of New York from
occupying his seat in congress on the
ground that he does not do his duty in
accordance with his oath. He was
elected to his position through the in
11uenCe of the express companies, and
he is opposing the postal check money
bill because it is contrary to the in
tere SITS of the express com
panies. In other words, after hav-
ing taken oath of Office to represent to
the best of his ability the people of
New York he ignores their interests or
the interests of the public where those
interests conflict with his own com
pany and would directly affect his own
earnings. In still further words, he
is drawing two salaries, one from the
express companies and the other from
the people. The outcome of this pro-
ceeding in the court will be watched
with interest by the people. -Sheridan

train of events which led up to the
storming of the bastile was by no
means the same that urged the Russian
mob to make their frenzied appeal to
the car. Yet in both cases it was the
elimination of long continued oppres-
sion. The spirit of the Russian, slow
to forget the cold and famine OF the
Siberian steppcs and the crushing
hardships of war, was aroused, as was
the spirit of the French peasantry
when forced to go hungry and naked
to pay the "sat taxi and supply funds
to crafty the expensive whins OF an
alien queen. The underlying princi-
pie is the same. 1t matters not that
the spirit of the French peasant was
goaded by the licentious and unjust
demands of the French court upon him
self and his family and that the heart
of the Russian peasant has been embit
tered by unjust religious and political
prosecutions and the duties of an iron
clad military service. In either case
there S demonstrated an unjust auto
cratic oppression, which a people are
bound to resist. 1t is that same spirit
which has exhibited itself from the
time the Swiss Cantons fought to gain
their l!bertp, up to the present day.

judicial District Division.

During the past week two bills have
been presented in the lower house of
the Legislature having for their object
the creation of a new judicial district
in eastern Montana-one by Johnston
of Yellowstone to unite that county
with Carbon, and the other by Leiper
of Dawson to cut the seventh district
in two and place Yellowstone and
Rosebud in a district to themselves.
This is an echo of the rearranre-
ment proposition urged so strenuouslv
by the people of Billings two years
ago. The plan then was not to create
a new district, but to unite Fergus.
which is district by itself with
Meagher, Park with Gallatin and
Broadwater and Yellowstone with
Carbon and Sweet Grass. So quietly
and eXpeditiously was the scheme en-.
gineered by lis promoters that it came
within an ace of being railroaded
through. The bill passed one branch.

was quickly brought to bear that i

new judicial districts should be created
as the counties become more populous;
litigation increases with population.
In time there will doubtless be twice
the number of districts as now exist.
Right now there is probably good
reason for dividing the district COM
prising the four counties OF Yellow
stone, Rosebud, Custer and Dawson
and creating a new district, but there
is no urgent demand for the dismem-
berment of the district comprising the
counties of Carbon, Sweet Grass and
Park; the Leiper bill has considerable
merit; the Johnston measure has moth
ing to commend it. If Billings must
have a resident Judge the Leiper plan
is the only logical one. Certainly
neither Carbon, Sweet Grass nor Park
will oppose that proposition, but they
are all unalterably against the John
ston prog ram. Picket.
The plan for judicial district division
as provided in the Leiper bill will
appeal more strongly to the people OF
Rosebud county than the one by John
ston. The four counties-Dawson
Custer, Rosebud and Ye1lows stone
now composing the seventh judicial
district have entirely too much bust
ness for one judge to handle and do
justice to himself and to his constitu-
ency. If the district is to be divided
let us, by all means, have the division
as provided for in the Leiper bill, as it
will better serve the interests of the
people of all four counties.

The president of the largest express
company in the United States is also
senior senator from the most populous
and richest state in the union. He has
for years been the acknowledged boss
of his state and has welded an in
fluence second only to that of the presi-
dent of the United States. He is pre-
stunned to represent and be chiefly con-

the country at large, but as a stock
holder and president of the express
company he has worked for the advant-
age of private corporation and
against the interests of the people OF
the United States and the country at

Again death has entered and taken
from our midst one who, though old
and feeble, was dear to the hearts of
many. Although Mr.. Robert Duff had
been in failing health for some time
past it was not until a week or ten
days ago that the end was anticipated
by the anxious watchers. His death
was the result of the inf rmities of old
age and the end was calm and peace
full.
Robert Duff, aged "a years, month
and Ia days, was born at Belfast.
Ireland, December II, 1920; came to
sided in Canada for number of years.
In the early SOS he settled in Clinton
county, Missouri, and in 1853 was
married to Elizabeth Price, who died
in 1882. Three sons and six daughters
survive him, all of whom, except one
son in California, one in Oklahoma,
and one daughter in Missouri, were
with him during his last sickness. He
came to Montana in 1901; died Wetlnes-
day at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
! l.. h. Terrett. The body was shipped
today to Keytesville, Mo-, for inter.
ment, accompanied by Mr.. C. II. Duff
and Miss Belle Duff.
The sympathy of the entire commu,
nifty will be extended to the relatives
in their sad bereavement.

DALLAS TO BE
TAPPED BY ROAD

The Colorado & Southern is to be ex-
tended to Dallas, Texas, according to
an announcement just made by b. F.
Yoakum, who Is at the head Of the syn
dicate which owns the Colorado &
Southern railway, says the Denver
Post.
The Yoakum-Hawley people have
concluded deal for the purchase of
four blocks of ground at Dallas to be
used as terminal for the Colorado
& Southern and other Yoakum roads.
Royal A. Ferris, one of the most promi.
nent Dallas bankers, and a committee
of citizens made the sale for $500, 900.
They at first wanted $500,000, but Mr..
Royal, who went to see Yoakum in
New York, was turned down, as Yoa-
KUN believed the price excessive. The
committee Topped off 100000 and the
deal was made.
The terminal site includes some of
the most valuable land in Dallas. The
railroads will boom that town.
Yoakum has promised the Dallas
people that the Colorado & Southern,
the Trinity & Brazos Valley and the
st. Louis & San Francisco shall be
built to Dallas. The last named road
is one of the most valuable roads in
cluded in the Frisco system.
1t is evident from recent announce
ments by the YoakumHawley people
that the Colorado & Southern will be
the one great railroad and that it will
receive more attention than the Frisco
system. OF course, the Rock Island 10
