GOVERNOR TooLE RESIGNS.

The announcement OF the resigna.
ton Of Gov. Joseph K. Toole, which
has Aeen handed to the secretary Of
state, will come as a surprise to the
people Of the state in general, though
some Of the intimate friends Of the
governor have known for a long time
that he was contemplating such a
step.
That Montanans have a high regard
for Governor Toole is shown by the
fact that he has three times been
chosen chief executive Of the state,
and that for more than a quarter OF a
century he has peen active in its po-
litical affairs, having held some office
Of public trust during most of that
time.
He has devoted much Of his life, the
better part of it in fact, to the services
of his state. Regardless Of political
opinions or Affiliations, Montanans
must generally realize that the state
owes a debt Of gratitude to him for
the good influence he has exerted.
he has probably made mistakes, but
in q spirit Of charity they should be
overlooked, as all Of US are liable to
err. It is to be regretted that i'll
health, which has probably been
brought about by the services he has
rendered the commonwealth, has
forced him to retire before as term
Of Office is completed.
Governor Toole has been recognized
as one Of the most brilliant lawyers
and n OF the most capable citizens
within the state. The people Of Mon
tana will unite generally in regretting
that failing health has forced him to
abandon, for a time at least, his bril-
liant caree It is to be sincerely
hoped that a change of climate and
freedom from business and political
worries will cause a complete restora-
hon Of health, that he may come back
to Montana and again assist In devel-
oping the greatest empire in the
American nation.

FORTUNES PAID FOR TITLES.

A bill has been introduced In the
legislature OF New York, providing
for a tar of 20 per cent on all dowries
paid by American girls to foreign
noblemen, whom they marry in the
Empire state. Most of the legisla-
lures win probably take the bill as a
joke. and listen to 1t in much the face
.atious manner the speech Of Repre-
sentative AcGavin was listened to In
congress recently. when he discussed
the disgraceful manner In which
American womanhood was being sold
for foreign titles.
But eliminating the humorous feat
ures Of these International alliances,
alliances Of American money with q
broken down and disgraced ancestry
in some European nation, the serious
phase presents itself. Not only sis It q
social problem. but it is q financial
one. The sum Of American wealth
which has been transported to foreign
shores through such marriages is ap-
panng. 1t is impossible to accurately
estimate 1t, but definite information
places It at more than two hundred
millions. It ID a sum equal to one
third Of all the currency in the United
States. It Is more than twice the
sum, which was imported to this
country during the recent financial
crisis.
The suggestion that some law
should be passed to prevent such mar
riages, has been taken facetiously in
the past. but oon or later it will
have to be taken seriously, first. as a
protection to the country; and, sec.
ond, as q protection to American girls,
az not half such marriages end hap.

New Yorks Feb. 3.-The dull and
heavy tone Of the stock market today
was due largely to suspended interest
on the part OF the speakers and In
vestors alike. The weakness OF the
early part OF the session was clearly
due to activity on the part Of a pro.
fessional element on the short side
OF the market. and this selling was
partly covered by repurchases before
the end of the session. Beyond this
demand from the uncovered short In.
terest, there was little sign of any alb
sorptive power.
Very bold and damaging assertions
were circulated today concerning the
finances OF the Rock Island and caused
transactions In many OF the securities
OF the company. including the stocks
both Of the parent and the subsidiary
companies and the collateral bonds
secured. by. old Rock Island stock and
those secured BY st. Louis Z San
Francisco stock. The mortgage bonds

AN ATTACK ON DEsPorlsM

1 N&
Events in Portugal have gradually
been leading up to Saturdays tragedy
The attack upon King Carlos and his
family vas really no more surprising
than such IN attack upon the car Of
Russia would be. II made by n Of
the interviewing Muscovites. King
Carlos sounded his own deathknell
He failed to hear the cry for liberty
and self government which is sweep
ing over Europe and growing more
and nor popular. Germany has
recognized It in the demands Of the
socialists. Austria Hungary has recog-
nized 1t by giving manhood suffrage;
the car has recognized It by granting
q constitution. But while other Euro
pean rulers yer bowling to the will OF
their subjects King Carlos sought to
take away from his people their par.
lament and tried to govern by decree.
It was q blow at liberty and 1t was to
be expected that avengers would
arise. Much as the tragedy is to be
deplored. King Carlos himself is too
blame for his untimely end.
1t was the refusal Of the cortes to
provide for the luxuries he wanted
that originally caused the tension
The legislators refused to enact laws
which he desired and SO Carlos decid-
ed that he would make the laws him
self. F
He peremptorily dissolved the cor
tes and sought to rule by DEGREES, de-
spite the law that the cortes shall
meet and separate at specified periods
without the intervention of the king.
This took place last May and since
then revolution has been In the air il
Portugal. Then the king failed to or.
der an election for new members OF
the cortes a is required by law and
practically made the premier, Senior
Franco. q dictator.
The tragedy In Portugal was the
outcome of the same old story, taxa.
ton without representation is tyran.
ny" The Violation Of that principle
by the Portuguese monarch was what
caused his assassination. Kings and
queens are losing their prestige as the
world advances in civilization and
gradually adopts the principles Of de.
mocracy and equality. King Carlos
failed to recognize this fact and his
end was what other monarchs in Eu.
rope a anticipate II they, too, fail to
hear the cry OF the people for genuine
representative government.
