Most any other man might have
criticised President Roosevelt's ex-
penditure of 100000 more than any
of his predecessors in office and caus-

Bailey declared that Roosevelt hal

other president We have ever had"
he aroused storm of protest.
Seeking to say something very force

very foolish.
For the sake of rounding out a pun

he would never have permitted him

The idea that Roosevelt is worth
less than any other president we have
ever had is not only untrue but stupid

1t is because of him that fines ag-

It is because of him that fines
amounting to $4,000 We're imposed

Eugene Y. Debs, the noted social
list, interviewed recently on Bryan,
said that he would not succeed Roose-
welt to the presidency; that it was
impossible for him to be elected. He
put it this way: There are two ele-
ments in the Democratic party. one
of capital and the other labor. In
1896 and in 1900 the labor element con-
trolled and in 1904 capital dominated
the party. There is no candidate who
can unite the factions AS to the
trusts Debs said: "Mr. Bryan says
he will remove all obnoxious features
from the trusts, but does not say how
he will do it, Evidently Mr.. Debs,
like a good many others. takes but lit
tie stock in Mr.. Bryan's promises of
word of mouth. He wants to be

1t is now proposed to build an cleo
trio railway line between Chicago and
New York. The line would be a di-
rect one and so shortened that the
distance could be made in day with
a powerful electric motor speeded at
one hundred miles an hour. The fare
one way could be reduced to ten dol.
lars, with a good margin of profit.
At present this enterprise is mostly
on paper. Anyone who wants to take
stock in it has the opportunity.

Even the Democratic press is I'M
able to size up correctly the gyratiOns
of Mr.. Bryan. 1t has frequently de-
clared of late that Mr. Bryan has not
changed his views, but that the SEN
timent of the country has caught up
with him. That seemed very pat for
awhile, but now Mr.. Bryan declares
that he is more radical than ever
and we here nothing more about this

Robbers Get $4,000.

Rostov-on-Don. July 23.-While two
clerks employed in the government
bank here were carrying from the
postoffide 100000 which had been
received in the registered mail, they
were attacked by band of six armed
men and robbed. The robbers made
off, but with hot pursuit by Cossacks
they sacrificed 100000 of the booty
and escaped.

pearl was taken out of the back chan

An expert pearl buyer who negotiated

LEWISTOWN, MONT, July "a, 1906
A PRESSING NEED.

IL any llllUS Was ldCkluS W SHOW IHt
need of new court house TO take the /
place OF the present structure, which .
has outlived its usefulness, it was
found in the recent report of Assistant
State Examiner Ray, which was given
in our last issue.
While it is the principal function
OF the state examiner to look into
the condition OF the various county
officers, to criticise the methods en-
ployed and check up any Delinquent
cies ne may find, he would be found
derelict in his duties did he not call
attention to anything that injured or
endangered the records of the county.
Should he fail to do this and the rec
Ords became damaged by fire or lack
OF proper care he would be open to-
censure.
Through d sense of duty then i'll
must be seen that Examiner Ray call
ed attention to the inadequate prOtec-
ton afforded the records of Fergus
county and the want of space TO prop
erly mouse them.
In his report Mr.. Ray says he found
many of the most important county
records without any protection against
fire and considered the danger very
serious one. He found that neither
the assessor nor county surveyor have
any vault or safe, while both officers
have records that are Indispensable
All the other officers vaults being
crowded the records of these officers
could not be accommodated. In the
office of the clerk of the court as we'll
as in that of the county clerk and
recorder he found things overcrOwd-
ed, the vault of the latter full to
overflowing."
The examiner found the treasurer s
vault to contain wooden shelves and
expressed his doubt as to its being
fire proof. He also found some of
the offices small and the facilities i'll
adequate for the work to be perform
ed
In concluding his report as to the
existing conditions the examiner says:
The fire hazard is very great in an
Old court house. with electric wiring,
fires are left burning and the build
ing unoccupied after Office hours.
Should fire occur it is certain that
many valuable records would be de-
CT To h,,c
ible records would be extremely cost
ly and in some cases impossible
was told that there is no complete set
of abstract books in the county. and
that daily it is necessary to refer to
old county records. II any of these
were destroyed, the difficulty of as
pertaining titles would embarrass and
annoy your citizens greatly"
1t will be seen that great risk is
being taken in the present building.
1t is a chance that should not be TAX
en- any longer than is absolutely nee
'essary. Not only is the business of
the county outgrowing the capacity
of the court house. but there is lack
of security for the valuable records
as we'll
The findings of the state examiner
are timely and should be given careful
weight and consideration by every tax
payer in the county. We believe their
fair and impartial judgment will be
that Fergus, county is in need of a
court house that will meet the de-
mands of the future for all time and
one that will insure safety TO the rec.
Ords against fire and all other ele-
mentS of destruction.
