It would be strange indeed if,
during the last quarter of a centu-
ry, in which party feeling has often
run high, mistakes have not been
made and criticism more or less de-
served had not followed; but today,
void of all animosities-personal,
political or otherwise I find no
comfort except in pleasant retro
spect.
I behold a great sovereign state
fiourishing in this mountain land
where less than twenty years ago
local self-government was but a
dream. A capitol building of noble
proportions and superb appoint
ments has been erected, untouched
by the breath of scandal, out of the
proceeds of a federal land grant
practically without cost TO the state.
A soldiers home, educational, chari-
table, reformatory and penal insti-
tutions under state supervision, suf-
fcient in numbers and adequate in
equipment for many years to come,
are among the monuments of genel
osity and progress of our citizens,
and yet the rate of taxation for state
purposes has never exceeded %
mills.
The reclamation of vast tracts of
arid land by governmental system
of irrigation and che successful dem
onstration of dry land farming in
various sections of the state are
making homes for thousands and
adding millions of dollars annually
to our permanent wealth.
"0ur banks, national and state,
are fairly anchored in the confidence
of the people, and have never for a
moment staggered under the strain
that has lately fallen on similar in
stitutions in other states.
Two transcontinental railroads
span the state from east to west, a
distance of over eight hundred
miles; third is half completed. and
fourth is rot improbable. Branch
lines, built and projected, gridiron
the country north and south, tapping
the agricultural. stockraising and
mineral belt, Astounding sin gold,

Montana (sections 970-971. political
code) the governor and certain
other enumerated state officers are
prohibited from absenting them
selves from the state for more than
sixty consecutive days unless On
business of the state or with the
consent of the legislative assembly.
1T may be that the legislature is
without authority to thus interfere
with the tenure of an office created
by the constitution. But if it is
competent to do so it is not lmprob-
able that a plausible pretense might
be invoked to evade SO stern a sta
tute, however wholesome it might
prove IN a particular case. But
whether the law is right or wrong,
wise or unwise, | have no disposition
to contest its plain provisions or de-
feat its manifest meaning.
'fIt is not. however. without deep
regret that | surrender my commits
sion nine months before its expira-
ticn and sever official relations with
my associates who have been most
helpful to me in the transaction of
the public business.
Il am reminded at this time, and
may be pardoned for referring to
the fact, that my political life has
covered vide wide range. Twice district
attorney. member of the legislature,
twice delegate to congress in terri
torial days, member of the consti-
tutional convention that framed the

the exception of eight years, COVER

into the union. During my several
terms as governor almost the entire
body of existing laws kas been en-
acted.

silver, copper, lead, zinc, iron and
coal, and making accessible to mar.
ket the mighty forest of timber GOV.
erlng the western slope Of the Rocky
mountains.
Power plants, built and building
on our mountain streams are gener-
ating electricity for great industrial
enterprises and sooner or later will
supplant the more expensive method
of steam.
"A wonderful awakening of the
people to the Importance of ou1
waterways bids fair to reestablisf
navigatian upon the upper Missouri
and Yellowstone rivers.
IF we omit the condition in Ger.
tain mineral sections brought about
by the temporary suspension of op.
eratlons in number of the mines
mills and smelters, the industrial
skies in Montana were never bright
er nor augured better for the future.
1t is my firm belief that no state
in the union possesses more diversi-
fled interests, a better climate, a
higher standard of citizenship or of
fers more inducements to the indus
trious homeseeker than does Mon
tana.
With these and multitude of
other factors too plentiful to enum-
crate, combing to promote the ma
terial prosperity of this common
wealth, it is not difficult to preveri-
fy the prediction that within five
years our population will have doub-
led.
ITO have served such a people as
ours, who have in a generation cary
ed out of the wilderness one of the
proudest and most promising states
IN our great sisterhood, is an honor
esteemed beyond the mere words to
express. 1t is my great hope to be
able to return to Montana next sum-
mer and resume the practice of my
profession. If did not fully expect
to return recuperated in health I
would not be content to leave until
| had exhausted every form of
speech at my command in testimo-
ny of my appreciation of the devot-
ed friendship and generous forbear-
ance of the good people of this state
with whom | have been closely iden-
titled for nearly forty years.

that one of the murderers was a
Spaniard.
The bodies of the king and crown
prince were removed from the marine
arsenal in two closed carriages to the
royal palace, the late residence of the
king, escorted by municipal guards,
mounted. An examination of the
wounds of the king, who was dead
when he reached the arsenal, showed
that three bullets had found their
mark. One wound was situated at
the nape of rhe neck, a second in the
shoulder, and the third, which was
the fatal wound, severed the carotoid
artery. The crown prince, who was
still breathing but who died almost
Immediately after admission to
the arsenal, had suffered three wounds
in the head and chest. Two bullets
had struck Prince Manual.
Queen Marie Pia, the mother of
King Carlos, the Duke of Oporto, his
brother, a number of ministers and
court officers hastened to the arsenal
when the news reached them of the
attack upon the royal family.
The news of the murder swept
through the city like wildfre, and TO-
night half the populace is panic-strick-
en-, not knowing where the next blow
may fall. There is the greatest dread
for the future of the country, which
seems on the verge of being plunged
into the awful throes of a revolution.
with all the attendant horrors and
bloodshed. Throughout the city con-
sternation reigns, and all the houses
and business places are barricaded.
The cold-blooded murder has sent a
thrill of horror through the country,
even among those who have been work
ing politically for the establishment
of republic, and sorrow is expressed
on every hand at the dreadful end of
the king and the crown prince.
At the first blush it would seem as
thougl he assassination was the work
of anarchists and not of republicans.
the stirring events of
the last few weeks have prepared the
people for some startling elimination.
The discovery of plot after plot, as
we'll the discovery of many secret
stores of arms and ammunition, had
shown beyond peradventure the exist
ence of determination on the part of
a large body of the Portuguese to
overthrow the present conditions and
proclaim republic.

All people interested in the schools

the following questions for you: First,

The student who is a little late tc

ROYAL VICTIMS
OF ANARCHISTS
King Carlos and the Crown Prince of Portugal
Are Slain Without Warning - Second
Son Slightly Wounded in Melee.
Populace of Lisbon State of Terror bordering on Frenzy
Homes and Places of Business Barricaded - Dead
King Was Generally Popular

Lisbon, Feb. liking Carlos of
Portugal ard Crown Prince Louis
PHILIPPE were assassinated today and
the city is in state of uproar. The
kings second son, the Infant Manuel,
was slightly wounded, but Queen
Amelia, who strove to save the crown
princes life by throwing herself upon
HIM, was unhurt.
A band of men waiting at the cor
ner Of the Praco de Commerce. and
the Rur de Arsenal suddenly sprang
toward the open carriage in which the
royal family was driving to the
palace and, leveling carbines, which
they had concealed upon them, fired.
The king and crown prince, upon
whom the attack was directed, were
each shot three times and they lived
only long enough to be carried to the
marine arsenal near by, where they ex-
pired. Almost at the first shot the
king fell back on the cushions dying
and at the same moment the crown
prince las seen to half rise and then
sink Lack on the seat. Queen Ame-
lie jumped up and threw herself toward
the crown prince, in an apparent eff
fort to save his life at the cost Of her
own, but the prince already had re-
ceived his death wonnd. The police
guard fired upon the assassins and kill
ed three of them.
The royal family was returning from
Villa Vicosa, where it had been So
journing, and was on the way from the
railroad station to the palace.
A strong guard was in attendance
because of the recent uprising in the
city and tn discovery of a plot to as
sassinate Premier Franco and over
throw the monarchy. But the band
of mllrderers had selected the most ad-
vantageous spot for the commission of
their crime, for they were concealed
from the eyes of the party until the
vehicle had come into tho Praco de
Commerce., large square Before
any of the guards were aware of what
was happening the assassins leaped to
the carriage and instantly fusillade
of shots rang out. In a moment all
was terrible confusion the king and
crown prince being shot down without
the slightest chance to save themselv-
es. Police guards sprang upon the
