BOOTBLACK STANDS
Man Put Out Of Business will
Ask City's Aid.

While it is true that strong pre-
JUDGE exists against allowing people
to operate bootblack stands on the
sidewalks, nearly everybody taking
the ground that the walks never
were intended for any such purpose,
yet the fact remains that a strict
adherance to the law in this respect
works a great hardship to several
who made a living shining" and
don't appear to be able to do any
thing else. A one-leggee man who
made good money with a stand on
South Main street told Democrat
reporter to-day the loss Of his Ii
cense to maintain bootblack stand
has put him out of business and that
inasmuch as he is not able to do any
thing else he will look to the city
to support himself and his family.
The principal arguments used
against the bootblacks' stands on the
walks are that the walks are needed
for pedestrians and that people who
want to shine shoes should be
obliged to rent stores and pay for
them. Some bad feeling has been
stirred up on account Of the pres
ence of a few stands here and there,
but it should be remembered that
these are situated where the walks
are wide and besides many of them
are on private property and the own
ers do not have to get permission
from the city.

things to have been discussed at that

BRYAN'S

In analysing the causes Of the great
popularity OF w. j.. Bryan among
democrats, q popularity that seems to
point without any question to his
nomination for the presidency, the
quality of courage, which he possesses
to a remarkable degree, 10 prominent
~ suggested. Mr.. Bryan's words at
Frankfort, Ky, are illustrative. Ad.
dressing the state legislature he said:
~ am not afraid of hurting myself
when the interests of the democratic
party are at stake. l am in the habit
of saying what | think and letting
every mar in the world think of it as
he pleases."
These are no idle words. MIR. Bry.
ans whole career proves this. And
it is because he has been bold enough
to express himself honestly. and with
out regard to the possible consequent
ces that most politicians would fear,
that Mr.. Bryan today has IN unques-
tiouable hold on the affection and es.
TEEN VI us parry.
Among politicians of the old school
few would have had the hardihood to
declare, as Mr.. Bryan has declared,
approval of policies which the present
republican administration is putting
into effect. MIR. Bryan knows that
those policies are for the public good,
o,d no "a hocoot on6 foarlass epOuuh
to say 30.
Mr.. Bry an says he does not know
that he will be the nominee. There is
very little public doubt that he will
be. 1t was significant of sentiment
among old-line democrats that q con.
ference of leaders from all parts of the
United States, that was to have been
held in New York today, has been in.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. %, 1908.
THE RANGE LEASING QUESTION

A wide difference OF opinion upon
the range leasing proposition appears
in the resolutions adopted by two
conventions of representative western
stockmen during the past week. At
the convention of the National Wool
Growers association, held in Helena,
the members of that organization de-
clared themselves ia favor of the open
range; while the American National
Livestock association, recently in
session in Denver, wen on record as
favoring a modified form of the Burk.
EFT plan of leasing theopublic domain.
The conflictingjviews will not be of
material assistance to congress in
dealing with this important subject.
They represent the opinions Of those
present at the meetings at which the
resolutions were adopted, and who, it
may be assumed, were influenced to a
more or less degree by: personal con-
siderations.
The resolutionssado opted at the Hell.
ena convention have been the subject
of criticism %by!sseveral newspapers
that betray a lack ofsfamiliarity with
range conditions. They overlook the
fact that the public domain is open to
the use or occupation:sof .all citizens
who care to laval themselves OF the
&C vantages2offered in;that connection.
That has beenithelsituation heretofore
in all the states.and territories, and
it is q matter of:record that settlement
of the public:.domain has proceeded
under theselconditions until the range
problem has been solved by the nat
ural progressisof events. In many
parts of Montana, 1.-THE range system
Of handling livestock has been aban.
doned because settlers have taken
possession OF the public domain, and
the changed conditions are rapidly
extendingito otheriparts of the state
The open range has not been q barrier
to the advance of the agriculturist.
Wouldsthe settlement and develop.
ment of western states be encouraged
by a range leasing system? The Den
ger convention of stockmen recon-
mended the enactment of a law under
which tracts of the public domain ma,
be leased for a term Of years at al
annual rental of from one.half to foul
cents per acre. That would be a NOR,
profitable proposition than owning
the land. IL was also recommended
that the parties leasing such lands b'
given fencing rights and other priv
ileges. The leased lands, it Is pro
posed, shall. be subject to homestea.
entry by settlers who are prepared t
accept the conditions that would oh
tain under this system.
The most important consideration
in any proposed range leasing schem
is its effect upon the rancher AM
owner Of q small outfit OF livestock
Would he be benefited by the leas
ing and fencing OF the public land t
which he now has free and easy access
II q settler had his choice between
location surrounded by public domai
held under lease by others, and q
equally good location that was ad
jacent to open range, which would h
prefer?
