NO PLACE FOR THE LISTLESS.

Esnhused from reading glowing ac-
counts Of successful men in the west.
some people are lured to Montana
and other new states to be dissApon-
ted. There are opportunities here on
all sides Lat they are not gained
without effort says the Nalierian. 4
new country is The last place on earth
fOrtl.e listless and faint-learted be-
cause there is SO much 20 be done by
each and All in transforming unpopu-
lated areas If virgin country to COM
munities Of industry and homes. 1t
takes ambitious. courageous men to
develop latent resources; it requires
tact, determination and energy to
carve Il home ont of the crude Gle
ments that nature has at its disposal.
The titteSt survive in all walks of
life, and in he realm OF homebuilder
it is tn the fiji test that the SpOils en-
sue. Many enthusiasts o, fairy land
origin have failed in the west, like
they fail elsewhere. and have return
I'd whence they came to spread the
doctrine that the west is not what il
is said 10 be. They never miss III OPP
portunity TO air their grievances
against the west and persuade in
tending emigrants to remain under
the old roof that has always protect
ed them and among friends they have
always known. There is less effort
to such an existence and going forth
into great unknown does not ap.
peal to the timlu. IT'S perhaps as
well that these self-appointed mis-
sionaries work among their faint-
hearted cronies rs the west 10 no
place for the lansuid or cutters.
The tour Of the western governors in
the eastern states is dong much to
give fasteners Il clear conception of
conditions here. There is 40 hest
fancy in telling the fellows with thin
blood that they do not make desir-
able settlers in u new country. Gov.
Vessey vi south Dakota made this
plain in his Chicago speech the other
want to give. The west is no place
for the lazy man. II you tell block
head he Ought 10 go west and make
his fortune ypu are giving him Il
wrong tip. 1t requires keen wit, Il
relentless energy and fortitode
against many hau.ships to win sue
cess in the west. Fortunes are there
in pl .nty, but they do not lie ready
made OH the ground. They must be
fought for and dug for. and this fight
ing and digging against odds are
what make the strong. hardy citizens
Of whom the west is composed

Notwithstanding the fact that Judge
i;headle has been endorsed by more
lawyers for the position Of Judge Of
the federal court Of Montana than all
the other candidates combined, it is
believed that President Taft will APP
point someone else. Judge Cheadle is
also endorsed by all the influential re-
publican papers in the state. and mas
a large following amOnS the repnbli-
cans generally. Reports from WASH
ingtOn are to the effect that the presi-
dent objects to Judge Cheadle on ac-
count of his insurgent tendencies. II
President Taft does not appoint Judge
Cheadle, the people Of Montana will
always believe he failed to carry out
their wishes ut the hehest Of the Am.
alsated Copper company, and with
that feeling rampant the republican
nominee for president, if he be the
present incumbent, will not get many
votes in this state. 1t is said the
nomination will be made immediately
after Christmas.
