CLIP FALLS SHORT
Montana Clip Aggregates "a, 500
O0O-..falls Below Last
Years.

The wool clip Of Montana this sea-
son aggregated 34,5OO, 900 pounds,
according to an estimate made by w.
X. Sheldon, general agent of the
Wisconsin Central. Mr.. Sheldon has
kept close tab on wool shipments out
of Montana for a number OF years
past and also has had access to the
figures of the buyers, SO that his esti-
mate Is as nearly right as an estimate
could be.
The wool clip for 1909 has been
estimated at 4O,00O,DO0 pounds, and
IL this estimate is right, there has
been a decrease this year Of $500, 900
pounds. This is chiefly due, not to a
decrease in the number OF sheep, but
/ to the fact that the average weight OF
the fleece this year was lighter than
year ago.
The average price of wool this wear
was l9 cents pound, a decrease of
2 ! cents over last years quotations.
This makes the value of the Montana
wool clip this year approximately
S6, 500, 900, which is 81, 900, 900 less than
the estimated value of last years
clip.

est court, and that our ignorance
matches our impudence. Neverthe-
less, laymen do hold opinions about
these learned court decisions, and
the place to express these opinions
with effect is at. the ballot box. That
is why the Tribune hopes that Judge
Cheadle will be elected chief justice
of the supreme court, and why it
earnestly advises its readers to vote
for him. 1t wants more regard for
equity and less lavish worship of fine
spun technical decisions that ignore
equity on our supreme court bench,
and believes the way to yet 1t is to
vote for Judge Cheadle. And, as a

JUDGE CHEADlE FOR y
The SUPREME COURT
oSR2A5 ,52 oA5 5R 2a5oS2 2aGg2 oa59

n1HE TRIBUNE hopes that Judge
~ Cheadle. Of Fergus county, who il
one of the candidates for chief JUS
tice Of the supreme court, will be,
elected to that position next Novem-
ber. and advises its readers to vote
for him. The reasons that lead US
to express such an opinion are to our
mind fully sufficient to justify 1t, and
our readers are entitled to know
what these reasons are as well as the
conclusion they brought to US. In
the hope and belief that they will
prove equally strong with our read
ers, and lead them to support Judge
Cheadle at the polls for the chief jus-
ticeship of the supreme court Of
Montana. we set them ont below.
Judge Cneadle has always been
identified with the republican party
as citizen, but he believes, as the
Tribune believes, and has believed
for long time, that partisn politics
should have nothing to do with thu
selection Of our judicial of1lcers. The
intent of the new law was to take the
judiciary out of party politics. The
fact that Judge Cheadle has been
identified with the republican party,
and that this newspaper Is q party
newspaper, identified with the op-
posite political party to that with
which Judge Cheadle is associated,
serves to accentuate the non-partisan
character Of any support this news
paper may give to his candidacy.
This fact adds to our pleasure in sup
porting him in this election, in spite
of the fact that candidates of our
own political faith are also to be
voted for.
But, Of course, the real reason why
the Tribune has determined to urge
its readers to cast their ballots for
Judge Cheadle does not lie in his
party politics. Neither does 1t lie
in the fact that his residence lies in
a neighboring county. and he is per.
haps better known in northern Mon.
tana than any Of the other candi.
dates. 1t lies in the fact that it is
our honest and sincere belief that he
would make better chief justice
than any Of the other candidates for
The Harlowton news. [volume] (Harlowton, Mont.) 1909-1914, 1910-10-14

that Office who have been nominated
BY petition. The grounds for our be-
lief that this is fact are as follows:
In the first place, there is not the
faintest breath Of doubt about his
personal character for integrity and
fair-mindedness, or about his ability
as lawyer. We do not claim that
he in singular in that respect among
the other candidates. There are
no facts in our possession that would
Justify us in casting any slur on the
integrity of any other three candi-
dates of our choice over the others
on this score. It is sufficient to say
that he is the peer Of any Of them,
and above suspicion. In addition to
the frst mentioned essentials OF
character and ability, Judge Cheadle
possesses a judicial quality OF mind
that is apparently greatly needed in
the supreme court bench Of this state
at the present time, and that is,
strong sense Of the importance oi
equity, and dispositions to Ignore
subtle technicalities and spider wet
strands of logical definition and di'
vision which lead to q miscarriage oil
justice and the defeat of equity. In
plain words. it is the strong convic-
tion of the Tribune that the supreme
court Of Montana, as it Is at present
constituted, is technical court
much to fond of following technical
decisions, even If they lead to jump.
ing out of the window of common
sense, and leaving equity forlorn
and friendless in the courtroom. We
want no more will case decisions
like the one from Yellowstone coun
ty. Our observation Of the decisions
of Judge Cheadle on the cases which
have come before him has lead us tG
believe that he would be strong on
the equity side Of a case, as we'll as
learned In the law, and we think he
Is needed on the supreme court
bench, which since Buck and Hunt
and Pemberton are gone from 1t, has
got m ore and more to be technical
court.
No doubt we will be told that 1t
is presumptuous in q laymen to ex
press such opinions about our high
