To ignore history. the Billings Gazette

where the keen sight of the Billings
newspaper is dimmcd by its prejudice.

first page the assertion that it lis al

casionaily gives evidence that Ii Is not

II is history that Clifford Pinchot found
the country west of the Mississippi-or
a great part Of tin the hands of men
who thought they owned it, and who re-
sisted any effort to turn il over to the
public. its rightful owners The land
srabbers. the Illegal fencers. the timber
raiders. the open range men--thcse are
the men who thought they owned the
country. The Gazette crrs. we think.
when il declares that Clifford Pinchot
thought he owned the country He
never sought an acre of land for his
personal benefit: he endeavored to hold
the public domain for the people and
for their benefit. But what of the men
who. for a generation. had been despoil-
ing this domain and had robbed the
public of a vast portion of its rightful
heritage: Are not they the ones who

theirs is the country. especially the
country west of the mississippi: The
Gazette is almost always right. but this
time it sot'twisted.

A VIOLENT BREAK IN

SECURITIES DROP FROM THREE
TO SEVEN cOfNTS-uN-
USUAL ACTION.

New York. Jan. 2l.-Stocks broke
from three to seven points this after
noon in several OF the most active
issues. with violence not often seen
on the stock exchange except in pc
RODS OF absolute Generalization. Early
sales were in enormous volume and
flooded the market from every quar-
ter. Some of the scvercst Losses were

sat.oual limitations attributed to the
government. But at the last the weak
ness of the market again became
acute. and closing prices were near
the lowest.
At the same time the banks were
exercising rigid discrimination

for loans. which have come under sus-
picion Of manipulation. The criticism
that purely fictitious prices have in
some instances been established by
market pools and the unsavory prom
incnce of the Columbus & Hooking

ing close upon the scandal of the Rock
Island common issue have made bank
ers sensitive. Stocks thus discrimi-
mated against were severe sufferers.
Prices of wheat. corn. cotton. oats and
pork declined at the same time with
stocks. Total sales for the day reached
the unusual figures OF l,Gl1.s61 shares
against 5s3.1s6 a year ago.
