freely about the Sweden-N orway union

his remarks with. the statement that
he believed that "justiee-loving Amer

with Sweden when the facts should be
presented to the United States in an
unbiased form.

FREE TRADE STARVATION.

American Economist The story
of how the wives and women relatives
OF vast army of unemployed British
workmen formed in procession and
marched to Lord Balfour with de-
mands for work and wages is graph
ically told and pictorially illustrated
in another part of this paper. This
torlorn mass of poverty-stricllen wom-
en- pointed out to the premier that
unless something was speedily done
to alleviate their suffering there
might be bloodshed The hungry
men, they said were desperate; they
were out of work; their wives and
children were starving, and they de-
manded that the government provide
some kind of work by which they
could make a livelihood. Mr.. BalfOur
replied that the government could not
employ men and become a competitor
of legitimate business men. The prob
lem was one he confessed his inability
to solve. He said he felt most acute
ly the magnitude of the evil from
which the poor were suffering and
expressed the hope that private char
ity might provide the relief which
the government was powerless to ex-
tend. Thereupon the queen took up
the matter, and through her appeals a
charity fund of $l,O00,OOO has been
1t is not solving the problem. Work
1t is now solving the problem. Work
and wages. not charity, can do that.
But work and wages are not to be
had. Why? Because British labor
has been supplanted by foreign la
Dor. Because the British market is
occupied by foreigners to the exclu-
sion of home labor and production.
Because British merchants are per.
mitted to buy in the cheapest mar
kets. Because the British laboring
classes are suffering from the blight
and ruin of unrestricted competition
Because Great Britain clings to the
destructive policy of free trade.
This is why every third person you
meet in London is out of work and
suffering for lack of the necessities
OF life, In 1900 pauperism in London
amounted to 26.4 per cent of the pop
uation. That rate has greatly in
creased in the past five years. 1t is
now estiamted at 33 1-3 per cent. and
may be even greater than that.
The story of the starving poor OF
London supplies its own moral. |,
illustrates as nothing else could the
wide difference between two fisca
policies, two economic systems. Pro
lection insures employment and gooG
wages for all. Free trade converts
millions of workers into oilers ant
starving papuers. The queens char
ity fund, even though it We're twent,
times 100000, could not repair the
wrongs and horrors resulting from
free trade.

AN INCENTIVE TO CRIME.

Under the heading Society Large
ly Responsible" the Butte Miner con-
tains the following well considered
editorial regarding Lewistown's re-
cent sensation, and which presents
phase of the matter not heretofore
discussed by the papers of the state
in their comments on the Sherman
case:
There is food for some reflection
in the crime that James Sherman, the
Lewistown young man, has just con.
fessed to having committed several
months ago.
HE had stood high in his commun-
ity, and he is evidently youth who
had been well brought up, but the
temptation to gamble was placed in his

One of the good resolutions for the
new year is the action taken by the
representatives of all western railroad
lines. They will visit Washington
this week for the purpose of pledging
themselves and their companies to as
sist the interstate commerce COM
mission in every way possible to pre-
vent and punish violations of the act
to regulate commerce regarding the
giving of rebates. 1t is an admission
that rebating and determinations
have existed. AS railroads have been
known to break their traffic agree
ments there is not much assurance thai
they will stand by this one, although
1t is claimed that in the long run
determinations injured the business
Of the roads.

Representative Longworth has in
troduced bill providing for the pur.
chase at cost of not over $5,O00,-
600 of buildings for the United States
missions at all foreign capitals where
this government maintains ambassa-
doris or ministers. Mr.. Longworth
explained that the underlying purpose
of the bill 'is to remove the neces-
sary qualification of great wealth for
the holding of high diplomatic office
under the United States.' This is a
meritorious bill whether it meets the
approval of congress or not The sal
aries paid to our diplomats are small
in comparison with those of other
countries and only men of independ-
ent fortunes can afford to accept such
offices. Possibly with our represen-
tatives furnished with suitable resi-
dences their salaries would be ample
to meet all reasonable demands upon
them. House rent is a big item of ex-
pense at the more important foreign
posts. Certainly it is unfortunate
that such positions must be denied to
men of brilliant attainments simply
because they have not the wealth to
keep up the appearance that is ex-
pected of them. This might work an
injury to the service some times.

way and he did not resist it, but fell
THE gaming mania seized him, and
in short order this young man. under
its influence, became first a burglar
and then a murderer simply because
he could not overcome the craving to
get money with which to gamble.
Even today this boy does not seem
to be all bad. and there is no question
that there is redeeming trait that
has not been destroyed. and that is
found in the love that he bears his
mother.
He is pretty sure to receive the
punishment which the law prescribes
in such cases, and under the circum-
stances that mother will have a just
grievance against society and the adj
ministration of the law.
Because the law in Fergus cOun-
ty was not enforced this mother will
lose her son by the same law which
was derelict in one case, but which
1t is only fair TO suppose will be very
active in prosecuting the boy.
'Those whose duty it was to sup
press gambling in Lewistown by fail
ing to do so brought about the down
fall of young Sherman and made
felon and a murderer out Of him.
There is every reason to believe
that if they had not permitted this
temptation to have been thrown in
his way. and under the law he should
have been protected from it, he
would have gone through life fairly
honest man.
Society is responsible for bring
ing Sherman into his present plight,
and it is it's duty to protect other
young men from temptations of this
kind by seeing to it that the law
against gambling is upheld and en-
forced
Every Montana mother has right
to demand that much.
They know that when through
gambling their sons are led to COM
nit crimes the law will not spare
their boys, and they have an unques-
toned right to insist that the law
be equally effective in protecting their
sons from such temptation
There is no room for argument
over this matter, and the Lewistown

pected to enforce the law may lead

csc Were Not Successful.

| Sakhetun. Manchuria, March A.
Stubborn fighting was in progress all
day long Friday. Four japanese divi-
sions are about eleven miles west o.
Mukden. The japanese Friday made
! two infantry attacks on Putiloff ahill.
| but were repulsed. They resumed the
| bombardment of the hill.
The Japanese attacked the Russian
! extreme left wing at two points as well
| as at Gauto Pass. where during the
| morning Notifications had previously
been abandoned, were captured by the
Russians. The bombardment Of the
Russian positions on the left and rigat
| tanks continued, while the. Japanese
swept Putiloff hill with at least $500
shells from siege guns and nortars, the
latter projectiles being recognizable by
the enormous explosives and massive
splinters. Toward evening the Japan-
csc advanced on the right wing, where
stubborn fighting continued, though tho
japanese were pushing forward on the
left bank Of Hun river, the Russians
maintaing strong defense. Four Jap
ares edivisions engaged in turning the
movement on the Russian right on Lao
river reached Sawnipu. about eleven
miles west Of Mukden. but Russian re-
Inducements were sent out and check
ed the advance. Japanese attacks on
positions east Of Erdagou at 1 o'clock
Friday morning were repulsed.
Under cover of artillery fire and in
a mist the Japanese opened an In
rantry attack OF Putiloff hill at Z
o'clock Friday morning, but were beat
en- off by devastating fire of Russian
guns. A second attack at noon was
similarly repulsed, after which the jap
anese resumed the bombardment Of the
hill with siege guns preparatory to
making a fresh assault.
