OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
WHAT IS RoosEvELr's GAME2

A Washington dispatch to the
Springfield, Mass, Republican says:
"fhe La Toilette boom has singu
larly fattened out and not even the
progresslvcs aTe talking very much
inorS apo,it that. The Roosevelt men
tion has been largely responsible for
this accident to the La Toilette propa-
Eanda. II has utterly collapsed.
Whether or not 1t can be revived de-
nerds upon the colonel. III no re-
mains silent the La Toilette boom
Will continue blankcted Just as did
the Taft boom OF four years ago,
which made no Roadway until Presl-
dent Roosevelt made such a pronun-
ciamento that his meaning could not
be misunderstood"
II Is n peculiar situation. Roosc-
volt Gays he is not n candidate and
yet tho %ropuiacc is whooping it up
for him wherever he goes. Roose-
volt has not said he would not ac-
cept the nomination II il we're
brought TO him and his admirers are
making much OF that. In Nebraska
an enthusiastic followed OF the ex-
president yesterday caused Roose-
relt's namc to be placed on the Ne
braskn primary bnllot. The La Fol
lotte crowd down there is very much
provoked over II, MS il is felt Roosc-
welt will lead the La Toilette vote
astray. 1t is further asserted that the
effect will be to divide the anti-Taft
vote and thus perhaps give Taft a
plurality. BE that as it may, there
is no way OF preventing R%ooseyelt's
name from going on tho ballot. Even
his announcement that he would not

THE mlGHTY AGAINST THE
WEAK.

II our own politics is q. times
disgusting. international politics, as
displayed in the last few days, is
dctestablc. England prevents China
from establishing a republic and
thus granting relief to suffering
millions, simply because England
does not want any example of pro.
gross in the Orient to stir into action
the latent unrest OF India.
No doubt the English believe that
their rule OF India IS one OF
beneficence, though the English as
n whole know little of the awful
extent of disease and poverty in that
dependency, But the depressing
fact is that England is willing TO
subordinate everything TO her domi-
nation of India. If that involves the
retarding of the development of
China or any other country. 1t makes
no difference.
Similarly, Russia demanded the
resignation of w. Morgan Shuster,

EUREKA IS LOSER
IN COUNTY. SEAT
FIGHT
MONTANA SUPREME COURT RE.
VERSES ITSELF AND DECIDES
IN llBBY'S FAVOR.

Helena, July l. - Especially THE
supreme court today adjourned until
September Is, but before doing so
handed down an opinion reversing one
given some time ago In the Lincoln
county seat case. The original de-
cision was 10 the effect that at the
recent election the county seat was re-
moved from Libby 10 Eureka. This
is reversed In a decision written today
by Associate Justice Holloway and
dissented from by Associate Justice
Smith. The opinion today also raises
the question as To the location of
county seats in several other counties.
The clause in the opinion which de-
termined the matter reads:
"rhe act creating Lincoln county in
so far as 1t attempts to make provision
for the permanent location of the
county seat, is unconstitutional and
void. being local and special act
directly propitiated by section 26, ar
ticle of the constitution. This con-
clusion does not interfere In the least
with the application of the principle
of local self government. We do not
hold that the people of Lincoln county
may not by vote determine where the
permanent county seat shall be To-
Gated We do say that II they proceed
to that end, IL must be done under q
general law OF uniform operation
In the opinion the court also says:
"Flathead, Teton. Granite, Carbon
Sweetgrass and Sanders counties were
created by special acts similar to the
one now under consideration. But
Valley, Rayalli, Broadwater and Rose
bud were created by special acts II
which no provision whatever wai
| made for the location of the perma
nent county seat in any one Of these
counties, while in the case of Powell
county 1t would appear that the leg
| islature undertook TO locate definitel,

act of creating It,"
