"CUEANUP DAY."

There appea rs to be a commendable
desire among Montana citizens gen.
orally to improve their home sur-
roundings, and present @ better ap.
pearance to their neighbours and visi.
tors. In nearly every incorporated
city it has been customary to include
in the ordinances a provision thai
requires the removal of debris and
refuse from the streets and alleys, but
in many communities this regulation
is SO generally ignored or so loosely
administered that it fails to coon
plish the purpose in view. The result
is q condition of untidiness that is
detrimental to the reputation of the
municipality, and in a few instances
an accumulation of rubbish that furn-
ishes refuge for disease breeding
germs that are q menace to the health
of the public.
These conditions are not peculiar to
any one town or city in the state: they
are general throughout Montana,
judging from items that appear from
time to time In the various newspa.
pers. Citizens of careless habits be.
come accustomed to the conditions,
and are so indifferent to their obliga-
tions in this respect that city officials
are compelled to call their attention
to the requirements of municipal ordi.
nances, and demand, in more or less
vigorous language, that they be
obeyed.
An excellent plan has been adopted
in some municipalities where city ordi.
nauces do not appeal to the public al

mayors of these cities have proclaimed

of removing unsightly rubbish iron

ment OF this kind recently gave mos
satisfactory results in Bozeman, and
similar occasion has been proclaime'
by the mayor of Butte.
The ends sought to be accomplish
by these methods are so desirable an

A NEW POLITICAL DICTATOR.

The gayety of the political stu alton
Is increased by the appearance OF q
new actor before the footlights-a fig
ure that is familiar to many residents
of northern Montana. The control OF
the democratic party is now the aim
OF Hon. Sam q. Wood, q former resi-.
dent of the Sweet Grass hills and
Great Falls, who startled the financial
world by proposing to make investors
rich by selling them stock in the Mon.
tana Cooperative Ranch company,
and incidentally caused the postoflce
authorities to list him az unworthy of
mail privileges.
Mr.. Wood now poses as q wise and
faithful % nselor to the democratic
party, and proceeds to tell Mr.. Bryan
q few things that he believes are for
the good OF that discorda ant organiza.
ton, His efforts along this line,
however, appear to have failed of ap.
probation, especially among Mon
tana republican newspapers. the Great
Falls Leader giving them this men.
ton:
Sam II. Wood, our own Samuel, is
another democrat who whoops not at
the name Of Bryan. Mr.. Wood, how
ever, confesses that the trouble be.
tween he and the peerless is that the
latter is jealous of the gentleman
from Montana. And he has cause to
be, If Mr.. Wood is to be believed. II
dislike to speak Of myself" says Mr..
Wood ~naively, in his National Demo.
crat magazine, "but one of the most
important questions democrats are
asking each other at this time is:
"WHO is SAM n. WOOD? and 1t
is natural that they should be anxious
to know" After which follows q
short sketch showing Mr.. Wood to be
the real leading democrat of the ma
ton, while a photograph of the new
leader Of democracy adds tone and
whiskers to the narrative, for Sam fl.
Wood is not Of the open face variety
of statesmen, but grows whiskers to
hide thought.
OF the photograph, Mr.. Wood says
modestly, sit is a late one and shows
the editor just as he is. There are no
hard-hearted grinning teeth and if
there is dishonesty or injustice written
in his countenance the reader is asked
to point it OUT meaning the counte.
nance Of Sam H. Wood.
And with it all, Mr.. Bryan is jeal-
Gus of Mr.. Wood, and between the
two a merry wal of words is now on.
However, the erstwhile Great Falls
man is there when it comes to words
and has written an open letter to Mr..
Bryan which advises that political
misprint to 60 behind a haystack and
forget himself for a few decades. Tru-
ly, MIR. Bryan has fallen in hard
lines when Sam H. Wood and the
Anaconda Standard both hand him
the chilly stare!

WANT VOTE ON TARIFF BILL,
Debate On Measure Will Be Closed
In a Few Days.

In a Few Days.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The feeling
in the senate is that the tariff bill is
approaching the last days of its con.
sideration in the senate. Senator Aid.
rich Is hopeful that the end may be
reached by next Saturday, and many
conservative republicans are inclined
to agree with this prediction.
The progressive republicans are
not quite 90 optimistic, but Senator
Beveridge says the final vote will not
be postponed beyond the end of next
week.
The income tax amendments will be
taken up Friday and q vote may be
reached on the proposition the same
day. 1t 10 possible. however, that eff.
forts may be made to secur q still
further postponement OF q vote.
Among the more important provi.
sions still to be considered are those
pertaining to lumber, wood pulp, print
paper, hides, coal, zinc, window glass,
scrap iron, cotton ties, cotton bag.
ging, leather, leather goods, binding
twine and petroleum.
Rough lumber remains in the duti-
able list, but the question of the
amount Of duty and the differential be-
tween the duty on rough lumber and
on the manufactured article remain to
be settled.
In the paper schedule the principal
items to be considered are the duty on
ground wood and print paper. It
seems improbable that the ground
wood or pulp will be left free, but that
the rate on paper will be made 81 per
ton instead of o., as fixed by the
house, or s6, the present law.
Hides, coal and petroleum are CIV
ing the finance committee no little
concern, but the present indications
are that the committee will place q
duty or all of these. Zinc, zinc ore
and zinc in block, pigs and sheets and
other zinc products are still to be con-
sidered, as are sulphate of ammonia
and barytes.

Provision Of Tariff Bill Favors I'm.
ports From Philippines.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Not be-
cause Of any wish to protect American
cane or beet sugar but because in his
opinion the proposed subsidy to Phil
ippine products would bind those
islands to the United States indissol.
ubly, was the reason advanced by
Senator Newlands of Nevada, in q
speech In the sen ate today for his op.
position to the amendment admitting
free to our markets Philippine sugar
and tobacco. He declared that If we
complicste the Philippine tariff sys.
with ours, 1.-THE two countries would be
80 bound together by this amendment
that 1t will be difficult to separate
them"
1t wa s argued by the supporters OF
the pro vision that the sugar producers
OF the Philippines would be benefited
by the admission OF their sugar into
the United States without requiring
the payment Of q duty on it. The
only vote taken during the days ses.
sion was on an amendment by Mr..
Bristow admitting sugar into the
Philippines free Of duty. It was lost,
IL to 40.
Sen Stone Of Missouri, gave
notice that he would soon offer an
amend ment declaring for the indepen.
dence OF the Philippines within six.
teen ye ars, an agreement having been
meanwh bile arrived at with the world
powers for the maintenance of the in.
depend nce of the islands.
1t wa freely stated around the sem
ate cha mber that the Philippine para
graph had the endorsement of Presi.
dent Taft in his own handwriting and
later S enator Aldrich stated that it
had be- en- endorsed by the president.
