During campaigns Of the past few
years Governor Toole has advocated
railroad commission. In fact, dur
ing the campaign of 1904 the greater
part Of his speeches we've devoted to
this important topic. The last legis-
lature passed railroad commission
bill but it was vetoed because it was
not the measure advocated or planned
by Governor Toole. It does not look
to us that the governor has given the
people square deal in regard to this
bill, but rather that his advocacy of
a railroad comission was merely cam
paign thunder and that he considers
the so-called rights Of the railroads Of
greater importance than the inherent
rights of the people. Had the COVER
nor been as sincere as he would have
the people believe, he would have re-
turned the bill to the legislature for
amendment-he had plenty OF time
to do it before adjournment of the
law-making body.-Gallatin County

PrOphets at Work Again.

For a year or more the prophets OF evil
were fIee with their expressions about the
ill-aeyised work which the editor OF thlf
paper was having done on the building now
occupied by the Press and Banner. The
kindly expressions since the completion ol
the work however, has done more than 10
even up things. And all now seems well.
The ink had scarcely dried on the check
which paid for the old depot Of the Southern
road, until remarks began to be heard, both
as TO the price and as 10 the quality ana
number of the brick. One man said: The
road would have taken SIS for 1t, and that In
the whole structure not over 5,OOO brick
could be had. The most extravagant remark
as 10 the probable profit in the trade was
placed al ,lOO. Between these extremes the
estimates have varied, some thinking ita
''fair trade" and others balieving that 1t was
'worth the money" $500.
Ofcou1se IT is all guess on our own part, al
we'll as on the part OF others. We think 1t ia
worth the money, but We will wait further
DEVELOPMENTS before making an estim ate.
We will know more about II when II Is torn
down and put mp again. The roof Is most
excellent one now, but what II will be after 1t
is torn down and placed on The new house is
question which we cannot answer. 1t now
looks ss II the cost Of taking it down and
putting II up again including the cost OF re-
placing ir jured tin, will be about s2cO. The

would indicate the profit or loss.

A New Language Method.

II a person has, as the Celts say,
Honly one side to his tongue" and
wishes to add to his resources In the
matter Of language 1t might be well
for him to apply to an old man IN
Scotland, whose methods Of instruction
are simple. They are described In
Scenes In Scotland" by Mr.. Sinclair.
A lady visiting in the north Of Scot
land wished to get some idea Of the
Gaelic and employed an old native to
give her course of language lessons.
The Scotsman took the Bible for the
text book. and. opening it at the be-
ginning Of Genesis, he said:
Now, Dla'am, III read this to you
I'm the Gaelic, and you'll see yourself
how it will 20"
With solemn intonation and an ap-
pealing. triumphant glance toward the
lady at the end Of every clause, he
loudly read the first four verses and
paused to watch the effect. Then he
said in Il tone of deep conviction:
Now, ma'am, if you'll take your
own Bible and turn to that chapter and
read it in English you'll see it's just
the selfsame thing"
The old man was much surprised that
the lady did not continue her lessons.
