 Personal Government.
 If this is necessary, government by law has broken down, and personal government has been substituted. When those measures are understood, the people of this country will turn from them and substitute law once more for personal power.
 "To all thoughtful persons, scrupu- lous of the ancient principles of our law, it is evident where this demoral- ization crept in. It is plain why the federal government has become the patron of the people instead of the arbiter of just and definite law. Our later tariff Legislation has not been based upon the general welfare but upon the patronage of special interests already strong, already very influential in politics.

"The principle underlying the laws which have here and there set up powerful public service commissions Is the same. These commissions are an- thorized not to administer precise rules of law made clear in the defini- tion of statutes, but to order this, that, or the other alteration, addition or ad- iustment in the actual administration of the business of the corporations which they are set to supervise It is true that khese corporations are in sense public servants street railway companies, gas ligh ting companies and the like. They use the public high ways and enjoy public franchises of one kind or another and are engaged in kinds of business which can hardly be called private in character, but they are owned by private capital and operated for private profit. And yet their business Is regulated. even in it's chief administrative details, by public officers whose practical judgment is the standard of regulation, who are administering not rules of law but their own discretionary opinions. The law attempts no definitions in respect of these undertakings, 1t puts them in the hands of public officers; and yet

Socialist Vote Falls OF.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-The socialist vote
in Tuesdays election is showing a
great failing off from the record in
1904 in the three principal citis OF
the country in which socialism Is
strongest. Chicago socialists, who
polld $4,000 votes in 1904. were given
less than 10000 votes and the most
sanguine do not expect that the re-
vised totals will exceed 2l,OOO votes
for Mr.. Debs. Cincinnati and Cleye.

centres, according to the leaders OF
the party, polled greatly decreased
vote
While admitting the adverse figures
today, A. NJ Simons, member of the
national committee of the socialis,
party. asserted that an increase was
shown in the vote this year in the
small towns. Mr.. Simons said:
"Mr. Gompers influenced the labor
vote. on which the socialist party de-
pends to a great extent His words
caused many thousand semi-socialists
of radical views to vote for Mr.. Bryan
and also frightened many conserva>
tive labor men into voting for Mr.
Taft. We are particularly pleased
with results on the Pacific coast
where an increased vote was shown
in many towns. We have received

tied all OF the troubles between the
miners and the mine owners. Two
mines were chiefly effected by the
conference, the Spring Creek mine

The Roundup miners walked out
about three weeks ago, there being a
difference of five cents per ton be-

In this city, Mr.. Gebo, owner of the
Spring Creek mine. kept the men at
work pending final settlement OF the
difficulties. Manager Stone and Mine
Superintendent Hendry, of this city,
were present at the conference which
was called in Helena Friday.
There was difference of five cents

THROUGH TRAIN SERVICE SOON

James J. HIN, the railroad magnate,
is expected to arrive this week in
Great Falls and it is believed that
while there, he will make positive
announcement Of the plans of his
company to establish, very shortly,
through train service between Great
Falls and Omaha and Kansas City,
using the Burlington from Kansas
City to Laurel and the Billings
Northern to the Falls.
The roadbed Of the new road be-
tween Great Falls and Billings is al
most completed so that the heavy
transcontinenta trains can be run owe,
it with perfect security. Daily
freight and passenger trains are al
ready being run but these are of the
accommodation variety. Despite thar
fact, the passenger traffic is heavy
and a large amount of freight is be.
ing handled daily. The new service
is booming number of new towns
in this county, all of which are now
experiencing healthy growth.
The Billings Northern line is 233
miles long and is one of the best con-
structed pieces of railroad in the
United States. As quickly as the
leveling and ballastino crews complete
their work within the next few weeks,
it will become an important link In

County Board Meeting.

Chairman Petersen, of the board of
county commissioners, informs the
Democrat that the board will meet
next Friday, this week, as a canvass
ing board to canvass the returns from
Fergus county. The statutes say thar
the board must meet within ten days
following election and if the returns
are not then in to adjourn from day
to day until they are all in. Clerk
and Recorder Myersick has received
returns from all but four of the voting
precincts: Forest Grove. Musselshell,
Flatwillow and Valentine It is fully
expected that these four will be in by
Friday and the count can be proceed
ed without any delays. 1t is not ap-
pretended that the final returns viii
show any difference from the figures
given in this issue Of the Democrat.
None of the races are sufficiently close
to be effected by the change of few
votes one way or the other.

Up to the time of going to press,
practically all Of the returns from

no changes in the county ticket.
There was some doubt when the DEM
ocrat was last published over the OUT
come of the county commissioner
race but J. M. Parent, the democratic
candidate, is now nearly one hundred
ahead and his plurality will be not less
than 90 at the least. Not more than
fifty votes are yet to be heard from

those places increase rather than de-
crease the lead of the Kendall man.
Taft's lead over Bryan is 3l3; Donlan
over Norris, 1888; Pray over Long, AT.
Pray will have a plurality of about
500 and all the other republican can
didates on the state tickets are given
from ESQ plurality up. DOMAINS total

Debs, socialist candidate for presi-
dent, received total of 1913 votes In
the county.
Helena, Nov 7.-Additional returns
received here today cut down Norris
plurality somewhat, but not enough
to put him in any danger. Returns
from $50 precincts give Norris 81, ,38t
votes and Donlan 3O,118, making Nor
ris' plurality 1868. There are still 16e
precincts that have not been definitely
heard from, but these are all small
and under no estimate can they be
figured as likely to give enough votes
for Donlan to overturn the presen,
lead for Norris.
The vote on the other state officers
is not as complete as that on the
