THE SNAP CONVENTION.

Regardless of what the distin-
guished gentleman may think who
took The Globe to task in the County
Republican Convention, for the arti-
Gle which appeared in these columns
last week. we have no apologies to
offer nor has any one been authorized
to speak for The Globe concerning the
said article. We want to reiterate what
we said and add something to it. 1t is
not our desire to become mixed in any
factional fight in the republican party,
but we want to see the affairs OF the
party SO conducted that the members
of the same will have some say as ID
who shall be it's representatives in It's
conventions.
The time has passed when mea
with convictions as to what is right,
men who have sense enough to see
through such miserable trickery as
that used in the naming OF the dele
gates to the convention held last
week, can be silenced by claiming
that their public objections to sna2
methods is hurting the race. If there
is any one thing that has made Roose-
welt pre-eminent as a leader of his
party, it is the recognition by a large
majority of the people that back of his
actions, hasty or otherwise, there is
an honesty of purpose that cannot be
impeached. 1t is the desire that this
honesty be made manifest in dealing
with the rank and file of the party in
Davidson County by those who endorse
Roosevelt which has caused us 70
speak out in what we hope were
terms that cannot be mistaken. We
have no excuses to offer for what we
have said and we want that thorough
ly understood. Nor will we enter into
a discussion with the white gentleman
who is to benefit by the snap conven.
= ton as to whether our expose of the
trickery by which the illegal conven
ton was made possible, will hurt the
race, for we don't care to argue
about or wrangle with any n oven
such buncombe as that contained in
his speech. If the condemnation Of
dishonest methods is to hurt the race
in the estimation of those who as
sumo the responsibility for trickery
the sooner such a consummation is
brought about the better it will be 70.

But, so far as we have been able To
learn, all Of the speakers lodged the
main question at issue. Each one
very carefully avoided the main ques-
ton that of whether the Davidson
County executive committee had a
right to call the convention to order
before the state executive committee
had decided that there was to be d

to state what was his opinion Of the

According to advices from Wash

St. Mary's River Dispute.

According to a dispatch from o.
tawa, the diversion of water from St.
Mary's river continues to be the sub.
]ect of negotiations between the Cana.
dian and United States authorities.
The dispatch says:
A question has arisen between
Canada and the United States over
the diversion Of the waters of the
western rivers for irrigation. A com.
mittee proposed to tap St. Mary's
river in Montana and divert it south
for irrigation work instead Of allowing
1t to flow north and pass into Canada
by way of Milk river as at present.
Irrigation interests in Canada have
protested and the Canadian govern.
ment has sent DR.. w. F. King and r.
II. Campbell to discuss the question
with the Washington authorities.

tional rivers which are in a similar
position and the bureau of irrigation

possibilities.

IMPROVE THE WATERWAYS.

The endorsement by Secretary of
War Taft of the Newlands bill, which
provides for the appointment of an
inland waterways commission and the
development of the inland waters of
the country, means a great deal for
the success of the movement, says the
Helena Record. The project has the
endorsement OF President Roosevelt,
and with the war secretary also in
favor OF the measure some progress
should be made in the matter in the
near future.
In endorsing the movement Mr.. Taft
calls attention to the fact that it is
not only for transportation purposes,
but along other lines that the inland
waters should be utilized. While he
does not specifically mention the gen.
GRAFTON OF electrical power through
the use of the rivers, nevertheless II
is not difficult to believe that he has q
full realization Of the part the rivers
will play in the immediate future in
producing cheap power for manufac.
turing and other purposes. In this
connection Mr.. Taft calls attention to
the necessity for cooperation between
the states aud the national govern.
ment If the full benefits from the util.
ization OF the waters are to be had.
No state In the union is more vitality
interested in this question Of the i'm
provement and full use of the inland
waterways than 10 Montana. The put.

Livestock Facts and Figures.

A publication that cannot fail to be
of interest to stockmen is the eleventh
biennial edition of "Facts and Fig.

we'll known livestock commission mer-

has been received at the River Press
office. 1t is the most comprehensive

The power furnished will be used IN

More Trouble For Stockmen.

The federal authorities have con.
cluded that scab exists among cattle
in the western part of Chouteau county
and announce that beef shipments
from the territory alleged to be in.
fected must be accompanied by a dip.
ping certificate. This will be unpleas-
ant ews to ranchers and stockmen
who have had more than q sufficiency
OF dipping troubles the past three
years.
A statement of the situation is given
In q communication to the River Press
from DR.. j. A. Stauffer, the local
representative of the government bu.
reau OF animal industry, which ia to
this effect:
In answer to yours of 18th inst. will
say that all cattle ranging in Chouteau
county between the Montana Central
track and the Great Northern main
line, also the Sweet Grass hills cattle,
must be dipped. AS the state refuses
to do anything toward the eradication
of scabies, the U. S. government will
have inspectors at each dipping plant
to supervise the dipping and give all
assistance possible. Dipping will al.
so be done on the Blackfeet and Bel.
KNAPP atoms. Undipped cattle
from above described territory will be
dipped in St. Paul, MINI.
The meeting Of the North Montana
Roundup association at Malta on
May l will offer opportunity for a full
discussion of this matter.
