A COLD DEAL.

During the democratic state conven-

place took occasion to print some very
complimentary remarks commencing
the activity OF the delegates from Flat
head county. Among other things,
the Standard said:
cone of the most earnest among them
is Ben Maiden, former resident of Boze
man, and prior to that of Anaconda.
Since taking up the practice OF law in
Kalispell Mr.. Maiden has become inter
ested in politics, and within short time
he has achieved the reputation OF being
one of the most energetic democrats III
the northwestern part of the state.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Maiden's ct
forts in behalf Of his party, he was 8 v

at the county convention. His nomi

THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirses Played
When It Fell

The charter oak of Hartford was
white oak. The story goes that when
James. duke Of York, assembled the
throne of England and sent Andres to
take away all colonial charters Con-
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct 81, 1857, he returned
to the assembly hall of Hartford with
body Of soldiers and demanded in
slant surrender of the charter, which
lay in box OH the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andres
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
We're suddenly extinguished, and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed in disorderly crowd
into the hall. There was a period OF
wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found. 1t had been
removed by Captain WadswOrth and
concealed in the oak, which ever after
ward bore its name.
The oak was even then old. "When

be spared. 1T has been the guide OF

A ONE-SlDED APPEAL

eve renew the demand made in the
year 1906 that the property of railway
companies be assessed for taxation at its
full cash value as the law requires. .
State Democratic Platform.
Why does the democratic party sin
gle out the railroads as objects of its
wrath? The law requires that other
property shall also be assessed at its
full cash value, but it is not done. If,
instead of singing out the railroads,
the democrats would demand that all
property be assessed as the law re-
quires, and that exac, justice be done
to all, then the voters OF Montana
would agree with them.
|, is just such one sided demands as
this, and resultant legislation along
this line, that has retarded and stop
ped construction work and improve
ment on all the railroads in the coun
try, and through which thousands Of
men have been left without employ
ment.
The railroads should pay their JUS
proportion Of taxes. No more and NJ
less. The reason that they are no
more ridgidly assessed is because ev
erybody else is crawling through th'
same loophole. The plea made il
characteristic of The democrats. There
has been popular cry against TIT
railroads, and they seek to profit by it
They appeal to popular prejudice 10
support rather than TO fairness an,
justice. The country has already sui
tered enough in this way--enough, a
