DEATH OF COLONEL SANDERS.

The end has come. After years of
suffering with cancer of the face. Col.
Wilbur F. Sanders passed peacefully
away at his home in Helena last Fri
day afternoon, surrounded by the
members of his family.

territory needed men of high courage.

and order should supplant chaos ana
the reign and power of the desperate.
How we'll he and his determined fol-
lowers succeeded is an oft told story
and one that will be read with thrill

But the chief performer in those

divide to a land where all is peace
and joy. where physical suffering and

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
To Petition for a Special Election in
Cascade County.


Great Falls, July lin a short
time, a petition will be submitted to
the county commissioners, Endorsed
by the Trades and Labor assembly of

members of unions affiliated with that
body asking the commissioners to or

affiliated unions for the necessary
number of manifestation $50. This
committee reported, at last evenings
meeting of the assembly, that the pc,

The downfall of Senator John H.
Mitchell, of Oregon, was swift and
certain. The verdict against him was
unquestionably deserved. Yet many
will regret to see the aged senator
now past 70-enter the prisons door.
The early career of Senator Mitchell
was somewhat checkered, but he atom
ed for much of it by his conduct in
after life and in the brilliant services
rendered the state of Oregon in the
upper branch Of congress. It is not
thought that Mitchell's greed for gold
led him to abuse the advantages of
his high office, as the stakes were
small, but that he was too willing to
serve his friends in order that they
could better serve him. However this
may be, it affords no justification for
his treachery to the government he
had sworn to protect and defend in
aiding and abetting those who would
rob it of it's lands. The law should
be the same for the rich and the poor,
the high and the low. Mitchell was
old enough to know better and the
time was propitious for an example,
considering the rottenness in high
places in other parts Of the country.
This doubtless had something to do
with the jury's verdict.

SECRETARY TAFT'S PHILIPPINE
TRIP,

The visit of Secretary Taft and the
distinguished party accompanying him
to the Philippine islands will not be
called junket by those who took the
trouble to infor mthemselyes of its
objects. In an interview published
in New York several days ago MIR. TAFT
expressed regret at the popular indif-
ference to the whole Philippine stu
alton, an Indifference which is re-
flected in congressional reluctance TO
pass the relief Legislation that the
archipelago needs. The developments
elsewhere-in Panama especially
have so engrossed attention that the
Philippines may almost be described
as forgotten islands"
I'VE owe" said Secretary Taft, ITO
ourselves as a nation and to the Fill
ipinos as a people debt" and the
trip was planned with view to a
partial discharge of that debt. Tangi-
ble results are expected from it by
the secretary, who goes to the dis
tant dependency for work, not for
rest or pleasure.

Four or five important matters are

isfactiOn, and the Eilipinos want 1t
disbanded. The friar lands questions
have not been wholly adjusted, and
where the titles to large properties
claimed by the orders are clouded and
uncertain compromises have to be
reached. Then there are the tariff
and shipping laws.
The last but not the least of the
matters on the secretary's list is that
of transportation. Bids are to be
opened shortly for the construction of
over 1000 miles of railroad, and &C.
ceptance of them will mean much to
the future industry and prosperity of
the archipelago, as the projected lines
will open up imemnse tracts of vir-
gin territory.
Rather large and "dry" program
for a visit which the secretary, with
a smile, says has been treated as a
pleasant junket. The legislators who
accompany Mr.. Taft will doubtless ac-
quire a new idea of an official Junk
et." Incidentally they will learn some
thing regarding the needs of the is
landers, so long neglected by con-
gress, and the progress that the civil
government has made in spite of the
difficulties encountered.
Tariff reduction and "coastwise'

pine questions before the next con-
gress. They will be handled more in

In a recent editorial on the subject
of advertising the Helena Independent,
among other things, makes the fol-
lowing trite observations: 1.-THE deal

mentioned in his local newspaper in
vites obscurity and, by inference, pro-
claims himself a neophyte in a bust
ness which he is supposed to under
stand. The small-town merchant who
doesn't advertise has his light under
a bushel; his blinds are down, his
hawk is hooded, his dog is muzzled,
his powder is wet. his bait is missing
and his we'll is dry In nine cases
out Of ten, if he were to advertise
judiciously in his local newspaper, the
cost of the extra investment would
yield him a hundred-fold more pro

ROOT THE MAN.

The selection of Elihu Root to sue
coed John Hay as secretary of state
will give universal satisfaction. Mr..
Root is man of great ability. AS a
lawyer he has few superiors in this
country. He was member Of the
commission chosen to settle the Alas
kan boundary dispute and in that ca
pacity rendered his country distin.
guished service. Accepting the posi-
ton of secretary of war in August,
1899, he at once exhibited great abil.
ity and force as a cabinet officer in
this important branch of the govern
ment service, undertaking and accom-
plishing the reorganization of the
army and placing it in its present
high standard of efficiency. He re-
tired early in 1904 and was succeeded
in Office by Judge Taft.
Mr.. Root was born at Clinton, New
York state, in 1S45, is graduate of
Hamilton college and the University
Law School Of New York City. He
was admitted to the bar in 1867.
Not until recent years has Mr.. Root
taken a very conspicuous part in poll
tics, preferring his profession to the
government service. But like his la
mented predecessor, he stands for all
that is best in our political and nation
-. g. 81 IL i
AS a Republican he is an honor to
the party with which he has long been
identified, representing as he does, it's
highest aims and purposes. AS tenn
porary chairman of the last national
convention he delivered masterful
address, the inspiring words of which
served as keynote to the campaign
which followed.
Mr.. Roots ability and wide knowl-
edge of affairs we'll fits him for the
office of secretary of state. Not only
in our domestic affairs but in our deal
ings with other nations, we believe Mr.
Root will prove equal to the occasion.
Like Mr.. Hay he believes that fate
and circumstances have made the
United States a world power, and the
policies so auspiciously established by
the former will be maintained. Hav-
ing taken this position it needs a
strong and capable man at the helm
to guide the ship of state Alright and

BICKNELL'S
INTEREST

SOLD FOR
$4,000

Pshaw! It's too bad! Here all Ho-
nolulu had a mental picture of Jimmy
Bicknell, County Auditor, as the new
king of an undivided half interest in
the Cannibal Islands. Imaginative peo-
pie could see the usually mild-man-
nered auditor clothed simply in an un-
divided half-interest of a string of
beads and broad smile sitting on an
undivided half of pile of skulls while
the victims frizzled on the undivided
half of slow fire in front of him.
But the pipe has gone out.
Some time ago the news came that
Bicknell's claim to the undivided half
of Washington and flaming Islands
had been held good, the Greigg's being
awarded the other half. E. B. Nc
Clanahan went down to Suva to argue
before the British High Commissioner
for the Western Pacific the claim Of
Bicknell to the property. The case was
