Admiral Dewey is somewhat too optimistic concerning the United States navy. He admits that if war should break out this country would find itself without an ade- quate supply of transports and col Hers, but he rather airily says, One can do most anything with money. If we were to have a war we could purchase as many ships as we might need. We did so ain the Spanish war The admirars recollection is at fault. We did get some ships, it is true. but a situation speedily de- veloped which prevented us from get ing other ships that we really needed. Moreover, Spain was weak and with out friends among the nations-at least without friends that cared to incur the i'll will of the United States. But it would be different if we had war with powerful nation like Japan, for instance. Neutral nations then would quickly conclude it wise to mind their own business, and the United States would find it impossible to buy a transport or a collier of any neutral power.

Taft for a few minutes were dis appointed The little ones had looked forward with much eagerness to the privilege of hearing the pres ident of the United States. That MT.

NEW ISSUE APPEARS
IN CASE
DEFENDANT CHARGED WITH BE-
ING PARTY TO SCHEME TO
MANUFACTURE EVIDENCE.

San Francisco, June 4,-Charging
that Patrick Calhoun was a party to
a plot to manufacture evidence favor
able to officials of the United Rail
roads, Assistant District Attorney
Francis j. Heney introduced into the
trial of the United Railroads presi-
dent today new issue. Samuel r..
Scott, during a period of three years
successfully employed by the United
Railroads, the Southern Pacific and
w. j. Rurns, agent of the prosecution,
in positions of confidence, was the
witness who made the accusation His
testimony. although received by the
defense with ridcule and contempt,
opened up one of the bitterest contro-
yersies of the long trial.
Scott, who admitted that he had be-
come an agent of the prosecution since
the trial commenced, said he had been
approached by Joseph Fl. Handlon,
claims agent of the United Railroads,
in 1907 and been requested to repeat
before Mr.. Calhoun a story manufac-
tured by Handlon Scott said that
Handlon paid him to tell Calhoun that
he tScotD had once been in the en-
pioy OF BurnS; that he had accom-
panied Rudolph Spreckels and Francis
j. Heney in an automobile ride to a
house, the location of which was not
defined, and that Mr.. Spreckes had
watched through transom the con-
duct of two men who entered an ad-
joining room. The witness said he
had been requested to tell Mr.. Cal
houn that Mr.. Spreckels had subse-
auently joined the two men in the ad-
joining room and departed in their
company.
Stanley Moore. attorney for the de-
fendant, who conducted the cross-ex-
animation of Scott, admitted that the
story of the witness was no surprise
to the defense, but insinuated, by his
questions, that Scott had originated
the narrative and tried in vain to sell
1t to the defense, after which he en-
tered the employ of the prosecution.

BIGGER WATER MAIN
BEING LAID
SUPERINTENDENT BROWN SAYS
SOUTH SIDE WILL HAVE
GOOD SUPPLY SOON.

George r. Brown, superintendent of
the M1ssoula water works, came down
from Butte yesterday and will remain
in the city for several weeks. At the
Florence hotel last night, speaking of
Missoula matters, Mr. Brown said:
We We're very glad in Butte to
read in The Missoulian the result of
the city directory canvass here in
Missoula, as indicating the population.
| believe the tWenty-thousand mark is
conservative, and / also believe that
the construction and operation of the
street railway. with it's propable rural
extensions, will add greatly to the
number of people here. This railway
development is, as you know, we'll
under way already, and / am conf
dent will be moving along rapidly in
short time. Mr.. Clark and his son,
Charles, will arrive in Butte tomor-
row; w. A. Clark, Jr., is already
there, and early next week they will
probably come down to Missoua for
final action in matters relating to the
railway construction.
THE extension of the water system
is making good progress. We have
been having, as you know, some little
trouble on the south side with the
water supply, the result of the break
in the lower supply main through the
river. The break in this main re-
dueed the supply and we are sorry
that there has been any Inconvenience
caused to our patrons on the, other
side. But we have a force of IS men
at nrly
not later than Wednesday there will
be an ample supply for all purposes
on all parts of the south side.
''The old main was a 1o-inch pipe,
and the distributing pipes on Sixth
street We're only six-inch. We are ex-
tending the 12-inch main from Eddy
avenue the entire length of Sixth
street. This will insure a good sup
ply. and | hope the people will be pa
tient little longer we viii be able
to give them an abundant supply of
water by Wednesday.
1--WE had two crews at work on ex-
tensions on the south side when the
high water broke the 10-inch main.
I at once ordered all the men to be
concentrated on the work on Sixth
street; the work here had been pre-
viously planned, and, fortunately, we
had the pipe on hand. There was,
therefore, no delay in getting the work
started, and as soon as it is finished
we will continue the extension work
in Daly's addition and elsewhere.
There will be, after Wednesday,
better supply of water on the south
side than there has ever been before
AS I have said, / hope the people
ovr there will be patient, as we are
doing everything possible to make the
connection With the larger pipe at the
earliest moment

sUNHINE AND OPTIMISM.

If President Taft should give no
legacy to the American people other
than his rich and rare humanity, his
unfailing humor and kindness, re-
marks the Washington Post, he will
not have served in vain. Judicial
poise, administrative ability, politi-
cal diplomacy, and a grasp of af-
fairs-all of which he has shown in
marked degree-are the essentials to
success in a public career. But no
matter in what degree a man may
will find it hard to legislate morals,
optimism or a sense of brotherly
love into the people of a great ma
ton. In the few months that he has
been in office President Taft may be
said to have restored the nations
sense of humor. In the under cur
rent of all his speeches, even those
dealing with the matters most vital
to his administrative programme,
there has been a constant flow of hui
mainly and brotherhood. The people
of all sections received Mr. Taft as
a friend, higher tribute than being
welcomed as president Never once,
through all the MOL and toll of his
$4,000 miles of travel, did he lose
that keen sense of humor Incon-
venience he regarded simply as
good joke upon himself He
preached the philosophy of sunshine
and health and optimism.

OUR BANKS.

Every community must feel lively
interest in the condition and prestige
of its banks. 1t is a secondary con-
sideration whether the banks will
lend you money every time you want
it, or as much. A community must
have strong and we'll managed banks
to do business and prosper, and when
the banks are prosperous the COM
munity is pretty apt to be prosper
ing, too. The three banks of Daw-
son and the one each in Sasser, Bron-
wood and PARROT make statements
this week showing their respective

are all in splendid shape. and they

THE RIGHT THING.

The State Baptist Convention, at
its session in Dublin last week, re-
solved to call on congress through
its individual members to pass a law
prohibiting the granting of govern
ment license to sell whiskey in dry
states.
We agree with the Griffin News
that this is an eminently proper
move, with everything in its favor
and nothing to be said against it.
Granted that the state has right
to prohibit it's citizens from doing a
certain thing, the federal govern
ment has no right to extend it's sane
ton in any way to commit a lawless
act.
We extend to our Baptist brethren
best wishes, and any help that we
may be able to give them in this
matter
