MONTANA MANS DILEMMA.
Declines Invitation to Take Dime,
With President.


Washington, July 2.-President
Roosevelt had an unusual experience
today. An invitation which he ex-
tended to caller to take dinner with
him tonight at the White House was
declined.
John Willis, of Glasgow, Mont, was
the man who rejected the invitation.
He is an old-time friend of President
Roosevelt. 4ney formery ranched to-
gether on the Little Missouri River.
Willis. accompanied by Thomas
NJ. Everett, of Harlem, Mont, called
on the president, with Senator Carter,
to discuss what, they maintained, are
dilatory tactics by engineers of the
reclamation service on the Milk River
project, in Montana.
They said the engineers had been
on the work for four years and nave
not finished it, although it ought to
have been done in six months.
When the president extended the
dinner invitation, Willis pleaded he
could not accept it because he did not
have a dress suit. The president as
sured him that he need not worry but
Willis was obdurate The president
said he would be glad to entertain him
in suit of buckskin, but Willis in
sisted that he knew what was proper
and said that, while he would be glad
to join the president in a horseback
ride, he could not think of going to
the White House for dinner in any
thing but dress suit.

but his speeches will be opposed to
extreme and radical ideas like those
of LaFOllette, and he will be mOder-
ate in his expressions. as compared
with Mr.. Roosevelt. Instead of scor-
ing capital he will reassure. Trusts,
he will urge. should be curbed, but
curbed with no injustice to capitalists
or investors. 1t is just possible this
friend hasn't the right dope. He will
have to show Grover Cleveland. Bry-
an as conservative would be some
thing unique. That he will be mod
crate in his expressions as compared
with Roosevelt, is good, very good.
The radicalism of Theodore Roosevelt
is of the safe and sane kind and he
has the people lined up close behind
him in what he is doing and what he
intends to do. There is far more
reason to believe that Bryan will be.
come dangerous radical than there
is of his playing the role Of con.
servative. What he stands for and
socialism are SO closely allied that he
finds it necessary to make frequent
explanation of his position.
The trusts are up against it hard
in an unexpected direction if the opin-
ion of Judge Ryan, sitting in the cir
cult court at ST. Louis is sustained.
1t was case in which purchaser
bought bill of goods of the Cahill-
Swift Manufacturing Co. and refused
payment on the ground that the COM
pany was trust and hence an illegal
organization. Counsel for the defend
ant argued that the complainant being
trust their client did not have to
pay for the goods bought any more
than he would have to pay gambling
debt. The defense was based solely
on antitrust argument and the court
decision was in its favor II the trusts
are unable to collect their bills at law
it is likely to occasion them lots of
trouble.

A friend of w. ]. Bryan's down in
Lincoln, Nebraska, says the latter is
not going to be so radical as he has
been. He is not going to join in the
hue and cry against the corporations.

THE NEW LAND OFFICERS.

The changes in the local land Of
fee took place yesterday, Clarence E.
Mckoin succeeding Edward Brassey
as register and Wyllis A. Hedges l..
w. Eldridge as receiver. The new of
ficers enter upon their duties with the
best wishes of the people of the Jul
dith land district. The high character
and ability of the gentlemen is Stiff
cient guarantee that they will most
successfully fill the offices to which
they We're appointed by the president.
In the retirement of Messrs. Bras
sey and Eldridge, after eight years OF
service, nothing but the kindest words
follow them. During their tenure OF
office the business of the district has
grown many fold, but by strict appli-
cation to their work they have kept
up with the new demands upon them
in a way that reflects great credit.
Their decisions have been fair and i'm
partial and they have been generally
sustained by the department at Wash
ington. Courteous and obliging they
have won the high regard of all hav-
ing business in the local office. They
have set high standard which will be
the aim of their successors to MAIN
tain.
In the retirement of Messrs. Bras
sey and Eldridge is is a pleasure to
state that they will remain among us
to engage in other pursuits.

When it comes to doing things for
Montana as a whole, or for certain To-
calltles or interests, when the doing
OF them will not conflict with public
interests, Representative Dixon is gen.
orally there with the goods. AS proof
OF Mr.. DiXon's activity in behalf of his
constituents the Bozeman Republican,
Courier relates the following instance
which is only one of many: aOne
OF the most active and conscientious
members of the national house of rep
resentatiyes is Congressman Joseph
NJ. Dixon. of Montana. This state
ment is not made for the purpose OF
political tlattery, but because it is the
truth and the whole truth. He rep
resents Montana to the best of his
ability. and that is of no mean order.
and no citizen of the state, be he Re-
publican or Democrat, Prohibitionist
or Popullst, ever appeals to Mr.. Dix
on in vain. For instance. not long
since the farmers residing close to the
Big Belt forest reserve were in
great quandry. They had not applied
for permits to Craze their stock in the
forest reserve until the time period
had expired, and other farmers were
not allowed to Craze all their stock.
The matter was taken up by the; farm
ers, their position was stated through
the columns of the Republican-Co ur-
Ter, and such statement, together with
a few personal letters. was sent to
Congressman Dixon. In short time,
through Mr.. Dixon's efforts the num-
Der of cattle allowed on the reserve
was nearly doubled, and the time ex-
tended for the farmers to make ap-
plications for grazing their stock. The
whole matter was attended to with the
utrmst dispatch. That is the way Con-
gresham Dixon represents Montana,
first, last and all the time"
