that Senator Plat who is the rep

advocates. Now that he has re
turned from Hot Springs in better
health and has denied that he will
retire, it is clear that favorable leg
islation on this subject will not take
place.

GOOD ROUTE EAST OF SNOWlES.

While there is scarcely any doubt
that the public will know more about
the route the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul will take through this state
in another month there can be no
harm in speculation as to its course
OF in pointing out the advantages of
certain routes through Fergus county.
Unquestionably the Milwaukee Off
Gals are seeking the best and most
direct route to the west that will in
clude Butte. The road has men in it's
employ whose business it is to get in
formation as to tine tributary country
along the proposed line, and while it
is important to cover and control such
regions it is a secondary considera.
ton compared to directness and grade
as regards the main or trunk line.
This being true it is easy for people
in some localities to indulge in hopes
that can never be realized. But if they
cannot secure all that they want it
does not follow that they should give
up trying to secure some advantages.

AN ANTlCORRUPT PRACTICE AG.
|TATION.

RecOrd-Herald: AT Washington re-
Gently a national committee was or
eanized 10 work energetically for ma
tional anti-corrupt practice legisla
ton. A so-called publicity bill drawn
by Mr.. Perry Belmont-now the perm
anent chairman of the committee
was some time ago introduced in the
senate by Mr.. Patterson of Colorado
and in the House by Mr. Mccall of
Massachusetts, and this is the meas
ure the national organization will
urge before the proper committees of
congress. 1t embOdies the recommen-
dations of the president with regard
to campaign expenditures, reducing
them to concrete legal provisions. 1t
provides for public accounting of
all moneys received and expended by
national campaign committees, and in
all other of its various features it aims
at full publicity.
In the New York legislature two
bills are pending which are to do for
the state what the congressional meas
ure is intended to accomplish in ma
tional elections. One is an anti-cor-
rupt practice bill proper, which,
among other things, prohibits any cor.

any contribution to a campaign fund:
the other is a publicity bill which
strengthens the present statute call

gins advocated such legislation in his
message. He expressly recommend
ed that ''the making of political pay
ments by corporations be made a pen
al offense" An association of prom
inent citizens was organized in New
York in September to secure the enact
ment of stringent anti-corrupt prac-
tice and publicity legislation and to

In Pennsylvania the legislature,

There is little likelihood of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul overlook
ing this great region, of which Lewis
town is the commercial and geograph-
ical center. It's officials are advised
as to it's present productiveness and
its future possibilities. Whether it is
to be penetrated by its main line or
be reached by branch few weeks
will determine. Doubtless some i'm
portant moves will be made on the
railroad checker board in that time.
The attitude of the Montana road,
that is. whether it is to be operated
as an independent line as now, or
whether it is to be absorbed bys the
Milwaukee road, or the Hill system,
seems to be, as yet, an unsolved prob
lem. If taken over by the Milwaukee.
as has been before stated. the Mon
tana road from Lewistown tn Harlow
ton will constitute our Milwaukee
branch. but if the Montana is being
pushed to Forsyth to checkmate the
Milwaukee the latter may seek a
route farther north, or east of the
Snowey range of mountains on its way
west from Miles City. By this route
the road would open up new coun-
try and obviate the necessity of par
alleling the Northern Pacific and
would pass directly through Lewis
town.
Surveys have been made. though not
recently. for route from the Mussel.
shell east of the Snowies and it was
found that a route could be secured
al one per cent grade or better to
Lewistown. Whether the Milwaukee
will make new survey of this route
remains to be seen. The fact that
there are no developments in that di-
rection supports the prediction made
by many that the Milwaukee company
will secure the Montana in due time
if il has not already done so. Still
there is plenty of time for a new sur
vey and men may be put in the field
any day.
One thing seems quite certain and
that is that Lewstown will have two
spurs or branches, which will give am
pie railroad facilities and prove more
advantageous in many ways than to
be located on a main line. The devel
opments of the near future will be
watched with a great deal of interest

Cars Bodyuuard of Spies.

Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of official life in st. Petersburg is
the elaborate system by which the
Emperor Nicholas is guarded night

aware that their movements also are

Farlow in Harper's Weekly. Is it any
wonder that the car Of all the Rus

at that he is timid and nerve shaken

and since the tragic death of the
Grand Duke Sergius the spy system
has become more complicated than ev-

there are whole regiments of officials

who guard the czar. These officials

1t is to be hoped that the difficulty
which has arisen over wages at the
Spring Greek Coal companys mine
will be amicably adjusted and work
resumed in the near future. There
is no doubt of extensive coal fields
near Lewistown and any delay in op-
ening them up and placing the product
on the market will be deplored. While
there is at present good local de-
mand for coal it is not a far cry to

what patronizing way, several of the

say concerning the recently discover

to give Miles City the cold shoulder
by speeding in an airline across the
bad land divides that intervene be-

of Rosebud on the Yellowstone, which
route, if adopted, would locate the
