The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1911-12-22

The Roman TlOlleel VI le'oo
week published an extended
resolution to be presented to the
senators and representatives
from this state, praying them
to pass amendments and laws
which viii! relieve certain con-
ditions now existing in the Flat
head reservation that hinder por-
qress and advancement in this
territory. The article of resolu-
ton is a splendid one and puts
the condition of affairs up
straight to the authorities in
such an impressive manner that
surely they will heed the prayer
of the people who are on the
ground and in a position to fully
understand the conditions that
exist. Dixon Herald.
Jeff Edmondson will throw the
doors of his pool hall open to the
public next Monday. Mr.. Ed
mondson has installed some very
fine tables and the interior deco
rations and furnishings are in
keeping with the idea of having
everything as nice as he can
make it. He also guarantees
courteous treatment and good
order at all times to those who
may desire to patronize his place.

The Pioneer learns that the
board of county commissioners
has decided to NOT sanction the
appointment of a salaried deputy
sheriff for Roman. That's all
right, gentlemen, Roman will soon
be large enough so that it can
demand some consideration, and
get it, too.
The school entertainment last
Friday night was we'll attended
and the pupils gave such a good
account of themselves that the
next one will require the largest
hall in town to hold the crowd
that will want to attend. All did
splendidly and that tells the
story.
If every subscriber to the Pic
neer will pay year in advance

We want the machine and al
that is lacking is the money.
When it appeared there was
probability Of securing a paid de-
putty sheriff in Roman, there were
a multitude of candidates who
wanted the position. Now thai
no one will get a place, probably
all will be satisfied nit.

started on the road to success are so
great that It would be impossible 70

broken level prairie is inspiring. avfvid

Is required farther east The last two
years. as was the case in Oklahoma
and farther east, the rainfall was not
great enough TO raise an abundant
crop The government statistics for
the last 10 years show there has been
sufficient moisture to raise a crop every
year except the last two. The country
needs men who have faith IN It and
men who have the money TO stay with

TN THE SPRING of 1889 thousands
4 of people lined UP On the Kansas
= Oklahoma border and made the race
into the Cherokee strip Of Oklahoma
for claims They were clamorous lot
people from all parts Of the United
States and some foreigners. They had
every means of conveyance conceivable,
some in boomer wagons, some On
horseback and some on bicycles. and
still others who were not so fortunate
were Cd foot
They all had one common end in
view: to get home IN the new coun-
try. a country about which they knew
nothing and a country about which no
one knew except a few cattiemen and
squatters who had been scattered about
upon it and we're content to exist with
the mere necessities Of life.
FIVE Years Later.
In 1894, Just five years after the
memorable race, I happened to be in the
of the border Kansas Oklahoma towns
for some months 1t was in the fail
Of the year after the fifth failure to
make a crop by the people in the new
country. It was a pftifuI sight to see
how much more anxious TO get back"
home were some Of the homesteaders
than they had been TO get into the Few

country They had endured hardships
almost uncomfortable in their efforts TO
raise crop and be able to stay with
their claims.
'sBack Home"
At all times OF the day and night
wagons, some with one COW and one
horse hitched to it and some with only
one horse, could be seen slowly wend-
ing their way northward. One man
with his wife and two children was
walking, begging along the way for
sustenance.
I could see in their faces the hard
ships through which they had gone in
their efforts to farm what was then
considered a dry country. Nothing
could have convinced one OF those poor
stragglers at that time that the farm
they were leaving would be in one oil
the finest farming countries on earth
and worth from SIS to 500 an acre.
The Second Migration.
For five years after the run in 1889
this "going back" Of the settlers con-
tinued, so that by 1895 there were few
who had undertaken to prove up a
place who remained On the land. After
the effects OF the panic of 1895 end
after the first tide Of settlers had left,
the Cherokee strip began to take on
new form. People with money to equip

that have been made to farm the coun-

money to develop the land and but few
of them have had the ambition to de-

A few men have spent money on their
places and have used scientific methods

farms. and people who knsw how to
farm, began making their way into Ok
lahoma.
Some Of the border towns over IN
Kansas almost lost their identity by
men coming from across the line and
buying houses and moving them on
their farms Such was the case Of An
thcny. Kas.. at that time. A five room
house could be bought for SIS or 500
and with the cost of moving was much
cheaper than new one. Hundreds Of
houses were moved on trucks and by

large houses and barns and the whole

Americans, is in fact notoriously un-
equal and oppressive.
1t is committed to the idea that
government as a partisan of the few
must be taken out of business and
that business as self seeker must be
taken out of government.
1t believes in personal liberty that
does not infringe upon the rights of
others.
1t sees no hope of prosperity and
progress except in obedience to the
constitution and the laws.
1t recognizes the rights of labor
and of men as well as the rights of
capital and of property, both easily
ascertainable when reason rules and
neither of them naturally in conflict
with the other.
1t believes in one law for offenders,
rich or poor, high or humble, strong
or weak.
1t holds that legitimate enterprises
can be encouraged and that business
and industry can be conducted hon
estly and proitably without bounties
and subsidies.
Finally, it is opposed to centrali-
zation, to usurpation, to imperialism,
to all forms of extravaganza and
waste, to a constantly increasing of
ficialism, to secrecy in public affairs,
to irresponsible boards and commits
sions, to standpatters of every stripe,
to lawless combinations in restraint
of trade and industry, and to mon
opoly of all kinds, whether of money,
of goods, Of production or of COM
merce.
We believe that these views are
Democratic and that the Democratic
party next year will present high
minded candidate, whose character
and abilities will illuminate them;
who will have the capacity to present
them attractively to the people;
whose temperament will be so toler-
ant and yet resolute that his influence
will promote harmony among those
who, ignoring mean jealousies and
trifes, will agree upon the vital is
sues and whose aim will be the re-
clamation of the government from the
element which has made it the servant
of class and not the servant of the
millions.

In the study of heredity there is a
principle which is known as Cations
law. In effect, it teaches that of the
total inheritance of any living being,
plant, animal, or man, each parent
has contributed a quarter, each of
the four grandparents a sixteenth,
each of the eight great grandparents
a sixty-fourth, and SO on; while the
influence of each generation is just
equal to that of all generations that
have preceded it.
The principle is of much practical
Importance. Let Mr.. A, an able man
of an able family, marry Miss B, of
like endowments. All the little Mas
tiers and Misses A should, barring
accidents, grow up to be credit to

Benefits to the northwest following
the completion of the Panama canal
are expected to be great. The new
waterway will change the movement
of foreign immigration from the At
lantic to the Pacific seaboard, and
high freight rates from east to west
will be thing of the past on staple
commodities.
Shipments by water can be made
for one-half to one-third of present
cost to the shipper, and shipments
east will be likewise reduced in cost.
On the whole, the completion of the
canal will mark a new epoch in the
progress of the west, particularly the
producing portions of the northwest.
Good bye, Jim Hill, and your big
prices, when the canal with its open
water competition arrives.

their parents. But suppose that Mr..
A marries beneath him. Miss c is
personally the equal of Miss B, but
her family is a poor lot. Now,
quarter of the little As will be stupid
or vicious, or in some way or other
unable to keep step with the rest. Or
suppose family, otherwise excellent,
has one black sheep in it. If the de-
linquent is a parent or husband or
wife, they are taking a one-to-sixteen
risk of like blemish in each of their
own fock-a serious hazard some
times for a prudent man. On the
other hand, the influence of parents
grandfather, counting for only one
part in sixty-four, may be reason
ably CHANGED.
DR.. Fredrick Adams Woods, of the
Massachusetts Institution of Tech
nology, has applied Cations law to
royal families of Europe. Such-and-
such royal personage-runs his
study,-having such-andsuch ances-
tors, married So-and-so. They
should, therefore, out of so many
children, have so many stupid, so
many depraved, so many crazy, so
many mediocre, able, gifted, red
haired, Hapsburg-lipped or Bourbon
souled; and such, with monotonous
uniformity, they have turned out to
be. The theoretic prediction comes
true in about ninety per cent of the
cases-which is quite as good guess
as can be made for tomorrow's
weather.

President Taft is scheduled to be
in Spokane October 9, and to speak
that evening at the armory to the
curious throngs which will be pleased
to hear his explanation as to why and
for whom he holds his job.
His principal remarks will be
along the line of showing his reason
for favoring the eastern manufactur-
ing states in vetoing the wool, cotton
and free-list bills, explaining that
those states are at present extremely
doubtful politically, and that in order
to retain their votes in the republican
column it was necessary to give them
all the fayors possible, while the
northwestern states are normally
heavy republican and therefore not
much doubtful, even though their in
terests are sadly injured by the vetos
directed by Wall street.
From this he will jump to reci-
procity and claim the votes of the
west again because of his advocacy of
reciprocity-which, by the way, he
does not mention much in the east
1t is not probable that he will have
much to say about his attempt to give
Alaska to the Guggenheims, but there
will be the usual hot mush about the
great and glowing west, it's future,
etc., winding up with the old appeal
to unfurl the mud-splattered banner
of republicanism and keep it swing
ing in the breeze. This will be par
ticularly appropriate in this state,
for if anything there is more breeze
than usual here this yearApolitically
and not favorable to Fat Bill.

Horatio w. Seymour, who re-
Gently became the editor of the St.
Louis Republic, announces the pol
icy of that paper under it's new man
agement in an editorial that might
well be accepted as a statement of
the fundamental principles of the
Democratic party:
The hope of the country for JUS
tice, progress, economy and peace
largely depend upon Democratic
professions and Democratic perform
ance during the next fourteen months.
If the wise, vigorous and yet tolerant
spirit manifested by Democrats at the
late session of Congress shall be
maintained, there can be no doubt
that this hope will be fully realized.
The Republic does not assume to
speak for the Democratic party, but
it does claim the right Of speaking as
a Democrat.
1t is devoted to equal rights and
equal opportunities.
1t hates privilege and injustice,
bosses and corruptionists.
1t would trust the whole body of
the people at any time with any re-
sponsibility voluntarily assumed
rather than yield control to one man
or to small group of men, no mat
ter how wise or how good.
1t holds that the taxation of one
American for the benefit of another
American is not only robbery but
tyranny.
1t believes that the extortionate
protective tariff, falsely upheld by
its benefciaries as profitable to all

On the tenth day Of May, 1902,
the government filed a petition for
an injunction against the beef trust
in the federal court of Chicago. On
July 9th, 1911 the packers after hav-
ing obtained forty-two delays and
postponements i'm the intervening
nine years, again pleaded not guilty,
and for the forty-third time their
trial was postponed, this time until
November Goth of this year.
The status of the beef trust pros
ecution, therefore, is exactly
where it was the first day the papers
were filed nearly decade ago. The
much heralded prosecution of this
gigantic trust-a prosecution which
has been directed by one republican
attorney general after another, has
amounted to nothing.
Every man, woman and child in
the country is convinced that the
trust operates in the violation of the
law, both statute and moral, and yet
nothing has been accomplished in the
alleged campaign to stop these viola
tions except the disbursement of
thousands of dollars in fees for spe-
cial trust busting" attorneys.

Every country newspaper has a
line of experience that runs about
the same. An exchange puts it in
this way: We had certain sub
scriber; for short we will call him
John Doe. He refused his paper at
the postoffice. He did not want it
any longer. We wondered what was
the matter. Upon consulting our
subscription books we found John
was short $5.70. He had stopped it
as a matter of economy to him. A few
evenings ago we stepped into
church and Johns melodious voice
rang out clear and loud in that
soul-stirring song: Jesus Paid 1t
All, All the Debt | Owe" We might
have been mistaken but his earnest
ness so impressed us that the next day
We sent him receipt in full, beg
ging his pardon for not knowing he
had made arrangements with the
Lord as to his personal liabilities.

1t is difficult to see how President
Taft's trip over the country can re-
suit in anything but a sorry spec
tacle for himself.
If he tells the people the truth
about how he vetoed the honest at
tempt of both branches of Congress
to reduce the high cost Of living in
this country; how, upon taking Office,
he filled his office with men connect
ed with the big law breaking trusts,
and how he tried and nearly succeed
ed in giving away Alaska to the land
grabbers, he will discredit himself.
If Mr.. Taft juggles the facts in
the slightest degree, the Insurgents,
swinging along in his wake" will
point out his Misrepresentation with
such truth and logic that the presi-
dent will find himself more discred-
tied than if he had remained at home.
The record of the Taft admins
tration is one that cannot be debated
with any credit to the President. For
this Mr.. Taft has himself to blame,
together with men like Penrose, AL
drich, Guggenheim and Lodge, to
whose advice he listened exclusively.
