A Prospective Wage Cut.

Last week President Roosevelt officially announced
that several of the railroad corporations of the
country had served notice their employees of an
intention to reduce their wages. One of the cor
porations had stated that 'the drastic laws nimca
to the interests of the railroads that have in the
past year two been enacted by Congress and the
State legislatures largely responsible for the
reduction"
administration and the President requested the In
terstate Commerce Commission to secure data with
which resist the alleged intention of the railroad
companies if it should be found that there was no
business for the course to be pursued.
Under provision of law, the chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and the Commits
sioner of Labor may be called into service as
board of mediation for the adjustment of differences
between employers and employees and the President
asked the commission to interest itself in
advance SO that the mediators might understand the
situation should their services be invoked
1t is part of the current information that the
Interstate Commerce Commission is prepared to re-
sist the executive request holding that it is not
armed with authority make the inquiry suggested
by the President. The chairman of the commission
charged with saying that the letter from the Presi
dent to the commission was merely political docu-
ment," meaning that it written for effect on
public sentiment and not for the guidance of the
commission.
The railroad corporations coming for
ward with denials of the intention charged against
them by the President saying that they do not in
tend to reduce the wages of their employees and
have not intended to-

Mr.. Brady's Manifesto.

While many of the Republican newspapers of the
state fall into line enthusiastically with the sugges-
ton from Mr.. Brady that he is the most promising
statesman in the gubernatorial pasture, others adj
vance the proposition that Mr. Brady is not the
mating convention and that subsequent pro-
ceedings will transpire
Some of these may become willing to submit to
the dictaon of the hierarcha machine but they want
to do it with at least outward appearance of re-
gard for the primaries and the people behind them
The caucuses probably be controlled for they
of the old kind-easly packed and the heelerS will
be able to round up the usual gang But there are

FIT. BENTON TO TEE SEA"

Attorney #. E. Stranahan of
Fort Benton who passed through
the city yesterday morning on his
return from the Missouri River
Navigation congress at Sioux
City, Ia, is most enthusiastic
about the results of the meeting
and the good that was accomplish
cd at the gathering.
Attorney Stranahan states that
t~he.greatest good that was gained
by the west in general, and Mon
tana in particular, was the adop-
ton OF a resolution recommending
the Improvement of the Missouri
river from Fort Benton to St.
Louis. The passage of this re
solution was secured by Attorney
Stranahan whose efforts will doubt
less greatly promote the claims OF
the people OF the northwest, who
+ fighting for a deeper channel
from 'sFort Benton to the sea-
The Sioux City journal, in
commenting on a speech made by
Attorney Stranahan, says:
Mr.. Stranahan was given an
ovation when he said he had come
1900 miles to attend this ban
quet. He said he was a thorough
western man, and that this was
the farthest cast he had been.
His talk was forceful and cx-
tremely we'll received. He told
of the necessity for river naviga-
ton in his country, which includ-
ed q productive section of the
Little Rocky mountains. He
said there was an area of $4,000
square miles lying between the
Great Northern railway, which
runs along the Milk river on the
north, and the Northern Pacific
railway, which runs along the
Yellowstone on the south. This
valley he said. through which the
Missouri river runs, is settling up
very fast. 1t produces annually
10, 900, 600 pounds of wool, and.
fockmasters must take their focks
from 80 to 100 miles to have them
shorn at a railroad. He said the
gold fields in the Little Rocky
mountains rest upon the banks Of
the Missouri, and that this country
was settling up very rapidly.
1s,n nncucSitioc fn, froncporf.t;c,
there are crying and pressing, he
said, and if congress shall not
soon come to the assistance Of his
people the improvements would
have to be made by private
capital.-Ex.

LAWS LIKE WHITE MAN.

The seven villages of the lIopi,
in northern Arizona, have a
complete democratic government.
Every person Of age has a voice
in the city control. A governor,
lieutenant- governor. sheriff, war
captain, together with two or
more caciques, or religious chiefs,
and a board of principals or city
council, are duly elected and they
serve with dignity and honor to
themselves or the reverse, just as
white men do in their cities.
There, as elsewhere, personality
has much to do with power. AS
soon as a man ceases to be u con-
trolling force he can no longer be
elected to office. There was com
petitions for honors, and some
times IN election is delayed for
weeks owing to the tactics of one
candidate or another.
For many years certain Of the
HOpl villages have looked with
ldisfavor upon the advent Of the
white man, and no place more so
than Shungopavi. But with the
ELECTION Of Lomawini this was
changed.
The governor Is an active
and hard working man. He is a
good silversmith. a necklace he
wears being of his own work

for Prohibition in State and
Nation wasncver SO positive and
irresistible as it is today. The
outlook for complete victory over
this moral and political crime has
never been so bright as the pros
poet which now confronts us ON
the eve of the great Presidential
campaig On.
1--WE invite the Prohibitionists
Of the several states and territories.
without regard to past political
affiliations, and all citizens who
believe with us that the prohibi-
tion of the manufacture. importa-
ton, exploration, transportation,
and sale of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes is Il question
of transccndent Importance. and
that it should be settled at the
ballet box at the earliest date, to
unite in the selection of delegates
of the National Convention of
the Prohibition Party, which is
hereby called to meet in Memorial
Hall, in the City of Columbus.
State of Ohio, at 10 o'clock a. M,
on the 18th day of July, 1908. to
nominate candidates for President
and Vice President, and for the
transaction of amy other business
that may come before said Con-
vention.
1--WE express the profound con-
viction that if every American
voter who believes that the liquor
traffic should be outlawed will
contribute the force and power of
his position and influence on the
side of righteous government, we
feel assured that this campaign
will sound the death-knell OF this
destructive traffic.
The basis of representation has
been fixed by the National Com
mittee as follows:
First-Each state and territory
is entitled to four delegates-at-
large.
Second-Each state is entitled
to an additional delegate for every
two hundred votes, or majo frac'
tion thereof, cast for DR.. Silas G,
Swallow for President in 1904.
Third-The District of Columbia
is entitled to two delegates.
Fourth-Each state. territory.
and the District of Columbia is
entitled to as many alternates as
it's number of delegates.

The following resolutions were
voted against by all the Stalwart
members of the State Central
Committee, including Senator
Kittredge's private secretary, who
attended the meeting with five
proxies, which clearly proves that
the Stalwarts are not for Roosevelt
or Taft unless it carries Senator
Kittredge's endorsement with it.
Which simply means that the
Stalwarts are for Kittredge first
and any body for President, other
wise they would have voted for
the resolutions. The fact
that they did not simply proves
their insincerity. T h e
resolutions were carried by a
vote of % to 10.
Be it resolved, by the members
Of the Republican State Central
Committee, in regular session,
that this Committee asserts its
confidence in President Roosevelt.
and loyalty to his policies, and
hereby demands the enactment
and enforcement of laws putting
into force the policies heretofore
outlined by him.
We recognize the sentiment of
the people of this country de-
manding the services Of President
Roosevelt for q second elective
term, and entertain the hope that
he may yet be nominated and the
country given his services for
another term, Notwithstanding
his repeated declarations.
In view of the Presidents de-
clarations, Be It Now Resolved,
That William III. Taft represents
to our satisfaction the principles
and measures enunciated by
President Roosevelt and is un-
qualiiedlv committed to them, we
therefore urge the selection Of
delegates to the State Convention
who will use all honorable means
to secure q delegation to the
National Convention instructed
for his nomination.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That
this Committee hereby expresses
its confidence in Governor COe /.

To be or not to be is the great ques-
ton which is staring the Fairmont sa.
loon in the gilded front these days ii
the people have the say asto the mat
ter OF Its existence. All other issues
bid fair to dwindle into insignificance
before this one by the time election
day comes around and II people vote
as they talk there will be something
doing when the ballots are counted.
The defeat of the prohibition ameAd-
ment in the Senate has intensified the
feeling against the whiskey interests
and more votes will likely be record"
against license in Falrmont on thu
account. To say the people shall NOT
have a vote on thing usually mems
that something serious Will happen
when they do get to vote and it seems
likely to be true in this Instance.
