WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE.

AS will be seen elsewhere in our
columns, Hon Joseph NJ. Dixon an
nounces that he will not again be a
candidate for congress, but has asplr-
ations to succeed W. A. Clark in the
senate. While the frankness of Mr..
Dixon is most commendabe thousands
of Republicans throughout the state
will regret his decision not TO stand for
denomination. In his two terms in the
lower house Mr.. Dixon has earned a
most enviable reputation for doing
things and in the doing of them he has
strengthened himself to such an eX-
tent with the voters that his election
would have been foregone conclu-
sion, without waiting for the counting
of the ballots. From a party stand
point and for the best interests of the
state we are among those who would
have preferred to see Mr.. Dixon de-
fer his senatorial ambition for the
present. believing that The honor would
certainly come 10 him in due time.
We believe Mr. Dixon could accom-
plsh more for the people Of This state
in his present position than he could
in the seat vacated by Senator Clark.
Nevertheless Mr.. Dixon has an UNI
questioned right to aspire to any po-
sition III the gift of the people of this
state and should he succeed in his
ambition he will, by his ability and
clean record. remove the stigmy that
has rested upon the state for the past
six years.
Since the above was written the
Hon. Lee Mantle of Butte has announ-
cel his candidacy for the senate to sue
coed w. a. Clark, provided the coming
legislature is Republican. Mr. Mantle
has seen service in the federal senate
and thinks his claim for recognition
is entitled to consideration by Repub-
licans, but regards success of the party
in the coming election of the most
vital importance at present
With two such eminent Republicans
seeking to succeed Mr. Clark, the vot-
ers Of this state will know that Mon
tana will be ably represented at Wash
ington whichever succeeds in winning
the prize.

a reform in the method of conducting
campaigns and carrying elections.
If large contributions by corpora
lions and men of wealth have tended
to debauch the electorate and endan-
ger the liberties and we'll being of the
people, then it is up to the latter to
show how much they are interested
in dispensing with their financial aid.

quite another to- give assistance in re-

not contribute little to the party

There are heavy expenses of leei-
innate character that must be met in
every campaign and if voters and good
party men would do their share in
meeting them the cry Of corruption
in politics would soon be lessened one
half. The voters themselves have been
largely responsible for conditions that

THIS YEARS WOOL PRICES.

While there is some disappointment
among woolgrowers that prices ranged
several cents less than last year they
are not disposed to accuse the buyers
of being responsible for the failure TO
fully realize their hopes from the out
look presented early in the year. Grow
ers are reluctant to believe that the
buyers entered into a combination to
keep down the price, and in some of
the competitive bidding in the Lewis
town market, it did not appear as if
there could be any collision. Yet it
might have looked that way to the I'M
initiated and there still have been a
secret understanding as to the maxi
mum price to be paid.
Many things entered into the stu
alton to bring down the price of this
years clip. Some growers admit that
the quality of the wool was not as
good, on the whole as last year. while
buyers contended that they paid higher
prices last season than the market
warranted, and still had some of the
chps on hand; they made contracts
al big prices without examination and
the woods, owing to heavy shrinkage,
dld not come up to expectations. There
was also a slight fear of tariff tinker
ing by congress.
Yet it is possible owing to the IN
dependent attitude taken by Woodrow
ers in other parts of the west early
/ IN the season that a combination or
conspiracy was entered into on the
part OF the buyers to hold down the
prices and bring growers to their
terms. But this is only suspicion.
What is needed is some proof The
Measher County Republican in re-
cent issue says: THAT a combina-
ton exists, and has existed during the
wool buying season, throughout the
state of Montana, there can be no
question. There is ample evidence
TO substantiate the charge" 1t says
that it got its information from "al

10 know the facts.
If the Republican and its informant
can make good there is a chance to
cinch the woolbuyers for entering in
to a conspiracy in restraint of trade
in violation OF the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust act. If our COZ
temporary had any assurance of sue
cess help would be forthcoming from
the woolgrowers, but we opine it would
be a difficult and expensive matter
10 prove after all of the legal machili-
cry was set in operation. The Repub-
lican also takes that view of it and as
a source of relief suggests that next
year the growers get together and
handle their wool Independent of the
buyers.

A BADLY WRECKED BANK.


The recent failure and looting of
the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank of
Chicago reveals moral rottenness
scarcely without a parallel on the
part of those entrusted with the saw
ings of thousands of depositors. The
collapse of the bank is said to be due
to wildcat real estate speculations on
the part of the president of the bank.
in which the accumulations of $4,000
This failure, with all of its crooked
revelations, naturally calls attention
to the defects in the present methods
of bank examination, and raises doubt
as to whether they offer any security
for slepOsitOrs or not. 1t would seem
that if those in charge We're determin-
ed to conceal the true condition OF
bank they can cunningly devise plan
to do 50, hence there is no sure way of
detecting crookedness in its manage
ment.
Four deaths have followed the clos
ing of the Chicago bank, and there is
sorrow in many homes over the losses
sustained by a base betrayal of trust
The Chicago RecordHerald, while
speaking of the situation as one ap-
pealing most powerfully to public SYM
pathy, and at the same time exciting
public Indignation, comments further
as follows:
For relief people denounce the
wrongdoers, criticise the laws and at
tack the administration of the laws.
But swindling will not be prevented
in the future by the denunciatiOn, and
the legal problems that are presented
are puzzing. In a case of the sort
there is however a suggestion that
would be safer if it were more
Of a monopoly than it now is. Small,
outlying institutions are valuable as a
convenience, but they would offer far
greater security and protection if they
We're managed from the large bank
ing houses. In travelling about Ca
madam city the American is struck
by the number of branch banks that
he sees. They are parts of splendid
financial institutions that command
universal confidence. They serve the
purpose both OF convenience and Sc
curity and they must be of great ben
eft to the people"
There is a great deal of truth in the
above. Such prejudice exists against
a monopoly that it is more than likely
that a branch from one of the great
banking houses of Chicago would have
been unable to compete with the in
stitution that has closed its doors on
Milwaukee avenue and whose presi-
dent is a fugitive from justice. And
yet the savings Of the poor would have
been as safe in the branch bank as il
they We're deposited in the Bank of
England, by it's large connection and
unlimited security.
There is some prospect that The

cier purposely left it to his wife for dis
tribution. Mrs. Sage's record as a
philanthropist, and her long conncc-

lent and educational enterprises is
held to be sufficient assurance tina,
she will make most generous bequests
in her will for their relief and support.
Mrs. Sage is said to be "a kindly and

air. 1t was delivered in the most time.
ly manner to affect the result in the
Illinois primaries This shows that
Colonel Bryan even while willing away
the time in India or scudding across
Judea on mule, kept in close touch
with the party in America. Few out
side of Illinois knew when the pri-
mary would be held, as it was under a
new law, and the date fixed was ear

Likewise it appears that his appeal

thrcefourths of the delegates to the
coming state convention, and it now
rests with Mr.. Roger c. Sullivan to
say whether the titanic commoner shall

ANCIENT PALM
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 16.-SOme days
ago wOrISmen started to excavate for
the basement of the new Meyer build
ing. This fact was made peculiarly in
teresting because in almost the center
of the site is growing one of the oldest
palm trees In Pasadena.
Ever since business encrOached upon
this section this tree has had small
sign upon II announcing that 1t is for
sale, but up to the time of the starting
of the new building the tree has re-
NAMED Unpurchased.
The wOrkmen were instructed to ex-
caYate close TO the tree and II is the In
tentiOn of the owners to haul away and
replant the palm as soon as it's roots are
uncovered.
Day by day the owners have been ex-
pecting the wOrkmen 10 get down to the
bottom of the tree, but after ten days
they seem as far removed from lis lower
extremity as ever.
The excavation Is already about
twelve feet below the surface and az
yet there is no sign of the end of the
roots.
As an example of how deeply palms
become rooted the big tree within IA
stones throw OF the city hall is watched
daily with interest by hundreds.
