STATE FAIR IS OPEN.
Exhibits Break Record and Large
Attendance Is Expected.

HELENA, Sept. 2S.-Fine weather
marked the opening of the state fair
here today. More than the usual
number of outsiders are in the city
to attend the fair. With one or two
exceptions, all the county exhibits are
iu place, and the exhibits generally
are more complete and better than
ever seen before at any fair in the
state. The outside attendance prom
ises to be larger than last year.
More than 10000 persons passed
through the gates last year and it is
expected that the attendan will be
much greater this week. The facili.
ties for handling large crowds are
splendid. Frequent trains are run by
the Great Northern station from q
central point in town and in addition
there are the usual number OF vehi.
cles.
The county collective exhibits this
year are unusually noteworthy and
afford convincing proof of the prog
ress which has been made in all lines
of endeavor in the state since the first
fair. Counties which have always
had the reputation Of being only fit for
livestock grazing come forward this
year with diversified exhibits which
would do credit to the garden spots of
Illinois. Fruits, all sorts OF garden
truck, grains and grasses of the finest
quality comprise the exhibits from
these counties this year.
Competition for first place in the
county collective exhibits will be very
keen. The art of the decorator com
bined with the most modern farming
methods, are the striking features of
the displays, and the judges will have
an exceptionally difficult task in ar
irving at decision.
The following counties are repre-.
sented this year: Sanders, Custer.
Fergus, Rosebud, Carbon, Yellow.
stone, Gallatin, Lewis and Clark,
Flathead, Missoula, Deer Lodge, Cas-.
caoe. Teton, ChOuteau, Park, Mad1-
son, Sweet Grass aud Canada.
In every division the number of en-
tries exceeds those of any previous
fair. There are nearly 1000 entries
in the agricultural division alone.
The same large pumber of entries has
been made in the other divisions.
The racing feature of the fair is the
weeks meet. On stake races $l5 900
will be distri buted among the winners
and $4,000 on purse races. The big
money has attracted the best racing
stables of the country, and among the
horses which will be here are some Of
the very finest in the United States.

HELENA, Sept. 26.-John B. Finley,
who has been in the federal prison
since he killed Alec Cordier, another
Indian two years ago, will soon re.
gain his liberty. He was found guilty
of assault with deadly weapon in
j anuary, 1907, but was not sentenced
pending a motion for arrest Of judg.
ment. Yesterday the Judgment was
overruled in the federal court and he
was sentenced to pay fine of $500.
1t is useless to state that the fine will
not be paid as the law declares tn at
an Indian cannot be compelled to
serve more than 80 days for any fine.

President Says Deeds Speak Louder
Than Words.

WASHINGTON. Sept. - President
Roosf -evt late tonight mar reply to
Wm. j. Bry ans recent letter, in which
he maintained that the lenucr attic
party and platform were not getting
"a square deal' in the campaign.
The president 5 reply deals particular.
ly with Mr.. Bryan's assertion that
the administration has not been effec-
tive in the prosecution OF trusts.
MIR. Roosevelt combats this charge
with characteristic emphasis, and sets
forth in detail what has been done un.
der his direction toward curbing the
tendency of capital to centralize with
view of destroying competition.
The president letter says in part:
"You soy that your platform de-
clares in favor of vigorous enforce
ments Of the law against guilty trust
magn ates and officials, and that the
platform upon which Mr.. Taft stands
makes no such declaration. 1t was
not necessary. That platform ap.
proved the policies of this administra.
tion aud promised to continue them:
and here, as usual, l have only to
compare your words with the deeds Of
the administr alton and of Mr.. Taft.
You merely promise in your platform
that you intend to do just what this
administration has actually done and
is doing.
ITO show the difference between
deeds and words l will compare the
records of this administr alton with the
record of one of your most prominent
supporters at the moment, Mr.. Olney,
attorney general under the last dem.
ocratic administr alton. While Mr..
Olney was attorney general no cases
whatever were brought under the anti
trust law against combin ations OF
capital, the only new cases which he
brought being directed against com.
binations of workingmen. During the
entire administr alton the only cases
brought against combinations OF
capital under the antitrust act were
four in number, two of which were un-
successful, one of the other two being
the case which was decided by Judge
Taft in favor OF the government.
Under this administration a mass Of
such cases has been brought including
the case against the Northern Securi.
ties company; against the beef packers;
against the Federal Salt company;
against the General Paper company:
against the Otis and other elevator
companies: against the American To.
bacco company, against the Powder
trust; against the Virginia Carolina
Chemical company, and others.
'In number of these cases the gov
ernment has already succeeded by in.
functions and otherwise. Some of the
cases are now pending. In hardly
any important case against the great
law breaking corporations has the
government yet suffered final defeat"

President Declares Governor Haskell
Protected Standard Oil.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-President
Roosevelt has issued q reply to the
telegram received from Mr.. Bryan, in
which he declares Governor Haskell,
OF Oklahoma, has been identified with
Standard Oil interests. The presi-
dents letter says in part:
In your telegram you speak of so
much of the charge against Governor
Haskell as dealt with his relations
while in Ohio, with the Standard Oil
company, but you omit the charge as
to his relations with the Standard Oil
interests as shown by his action while
governor of Oklahoma, this very sum.
mer, this action being in part taken
while he was at Denver, where, as you
state, he was by your wishes made
chairman of the committee which
drafted the platform upon which you
are standing. In my statement pur.
posely made no specific illusions to
the Ohio matter, and shall at this
time make none, in spite of its
Significance and in spite of the further
fact that Governor Haskell's close re.
lation with the Standard Oil interests
while he was in Ohio was a matter of
common knowledge.
In Oklahoma it is matter OF court
record. BY this court record it ap.
pears that the attorney general of the
state, elected by the people, obtained
an injunction to prevent the Prairie
Oil company from building pipe
line: and that Governor.H Haskell found
this out while he was at Denver, as
appears by the representations for the
dissolution OF the injunction made in
his name, made in behalf of the state,
before court of superior jurisdiction
to that which issued the Injunction.
In this the governor states that the
acting governor, in his absence, had
asked that the hearing be postponed
until he, the governor, might return,
and have an opportunity to iinvesti.
gate the controversy.
The attorney general opposed the
dissolution of the injunction, stating
tha. the Prairie Oil & Gas company
was foreign corpor ation,s (which had
not accepted the provisions of the
constitution applicable tos such cor.
porations. and that without authority
of law it was employing great force
of men and teams to dig up, across,
and into various highways of the state
for the purpose OF laying its pipe
lines. The governor prevailed, the
Injunction was suspended,i and the
pipe line was permitted to continue its
work. to use the words of the attorney
general, "without any color of law"
I call your attention to the fact tn at
the question is not whether orsnot the
Judge erred, or whether the injunction
was proper. The point islthat Gov.
ernor Haskell was alert to take out of
the hands of the attorney general wh at
the attorney general felt was his
sworn duty to prevent an alleged in.
stance of the breaking OF the laws by
this particular great corporation.
