We hear a great deal about good
times.
At what period 9 times better

The highest wages ever paid are
obtained. now. More men are en-.
ployed than ever before, and on all
sides there is q demand for more men.
Bank deposits are greater, in the
aggregate, than ever before. Less
money is owed, interest rates have
fallen, orders are increasing. stocks,
which have been sold down. n be.

JUSTICE in THE COURTS.

JUSTICE IN THE COURTS.
We hear so much about the priv,
leges Of wealth and the IMMUNITY with
which rich men disobey the law.
AS a matter Of fact, rich men, like
poor men, are amenable to the same
common rule. This was illustrated in
the case OF the American Tobacco
company, the other day, when 1t re
ceived a short arm jolt in the United
States circuit court Of New York. The
concern was declared to be q trust,
operating in restraint Of trade, and
the case was passed along to the
supreme court Of the United States.
This is an illustration Of the fact
that the judiciary Of the country ID

udice, and that decisions are based on
the law, Notwithstanding the hysters

have resumed operations, with $4,000

TIE hoard Of county commissioners,

q tho vote ct the recent election In
Yellowstone county. When they "a.
journed for the night eight precincts
had been completed. leaving 10 yet

IN the county.
Nat q. Carwile gained one vote In
the count yesterday and Lorin T.
Jones' lost one. reducing Nj. Jones
plurality for clerk Of the district court
70 Is. The change from the unofficial
count was made In Thomas Ranch,
precinct, where Mr.. Carwile gained
one and Mr.. Jones lost the one
In precinct 2 in Billings, where the
voting place was in the Real. Estate
block, several mistakes were found. In
the count Of two Republicans and one
Democratic elector the figures we're
made ten too high. In the - ot
Joseph Sleeper, a clerical error was
discovered in his favor.
The mistakes In this precinct were
due to the fact that the Judges kept
the tally on blank pieces Of paper. and
then copied the results into the poll
book, in place of tallying direct in
the pool books. The mistakes were
made in copying.
Several Of the candidates were in
attendance at the canvass yesterday
County Attorney Harry L. Wilson was
there to advice the members Of the
board of c~anvassers, while w. M
Johnston looked after the legal inter
ssts Of Nat G. Carwile, Democratic
candidate for clerk Of the court.
Considerable interest attached tt
the count in precinct 9, Upper Mussel
shell, which will be the first precinct
opened today.
MI. Jones is in Hunters Hot Springs
!! resting after the election. while Mr.
Carwile said last night that he had
no authentic report from the Upper
Musselshell precinct.
It is expected that the entire da,
will be. consumed in counting the pre-
cincts and it may require part Of to
morrow to complete the work.

United States District Attorney

granting Of bail:

be exercised, II at oil, by the trial
Judge. He ia the one who Is the most
familiar with the position Of the de-
PENDANT and his views and decision are
entitled to great weight. Judge Hough
denied the application for bail and
stated the two controlling causes In
his decision. drst, al to any reasonable
ground OF error. and second. the eRec-
dveuess Of bail TO produce the de-
fendant. whom the hnal decree Of the
court 10 to b passed"
The district attorney said It was

ments during the trial a. to the ex-
tent Of his financial transactions. He
added that 1t would be q wrong to

that no one would be held personally

"Mr. Morse is q travelled man, and
he knows the difference between q . 0

GOVERNOR nA1rERsoh's TASK.
Governor Patterson OF Tennessee is.
q remarkable man.
He has grappled with q coalition Of
outlawry fearlessly, and in spite OF
anonymous letters and threats to az
sassinate him, he has continued In
the performance Of his duty-that Of
Kidding the country Of the undesirable
citizen.
He is made OF the right kind Of
stuff. AS an executive, he Is enforcing
the Law, and in using the military arm
Of the government, he ia invoking a
power he has every right to summon
when conditions warrant such an act.
It was not and never has been the
intention OF the governor to harm an
innocent man, but he announced at
the outset that he was determined to
run down the criminals who have ter
rorized the country, and who have
murdered men, women and children,
burned houses, destroyed farms and
ruined the business Of 80 many OF the
people.
In the performance Of his duty It
became necessary to arrest nearly 100
citizens. A number Of them were in
nocent and they have been promptly
released. But the short term Of Inn
prisonment they suffered 10 for the
common cause. and they can have no
reasonable objection to- the course,
since the act was - much for their
own protection, - TOR the balance OF
