Fergus County Democrat., 1911-03-21

1t might be stated here and now
that the people of Montana are going
to demand that the next democratic
state convention nominate the Hon.
I. J. Walsh of Helena for the United
States senate. By reason of his mag
ntlcent services to the party, by rea-
son of his demonstrated independence
OF the slightest taint of corporation
influence, by aeason of his brilliant
qualities of mind and heart. Mr..
Walsh is fairly and honestly entitled
to this honor at the hands of the
party. The same corporate influ-
ences which prevented his election
by the Twelfth assembly will be
working from now until the day the
convention meets in order to prevent
Walsh's nomination. II beaten in
the convention they will work Just as
hard to prevent his election but these
facts should urge the democrats all
over the state to greater efforts in the
Helena mans behalf. With his rec
ord of the past year behind him, T.
]. Walsh will sweep this state once he
is given an opportunity to go before
the people for the Office Of United
States senator.
Fergus County Democrat., 1911-03-21

An error which vitally effected the
meaning and intent of the measure
was discovered by Governor Norris
when he took up for consideration
Senate Bill No. l45, which relates to
the purchase by the state of the
Warm Springs insane asylum from
the present owners, Mitchell & Mus
sigbrod, for a sum in excess Of half
million dollars. The special legis-
lative committee recommended that
the state purchase the asylum and pay
for ii the sum of $65OyOOO. A bill to
that effect was introduced by Senator
Donlan but its provisions did not
meet with the approval OF the legis-
lature and the measure was amended
SO as to put it up to the voters of the
state to determine whether or not
the deal should be made. Other very
important amendments were append
ed to the bill but when it was sent to
Governor Norris for his signature,
he found that when the bill was en-
rolled. these amendments were left
out. He signed it only after having
a stipulation agreed to by the asylum
representatives that the amendments
should be considered as portion Of
the bill There has been much un-
favorable comment throughout the
state in connection with this asylum
matter. To many people, it appears
that $65OOOO is altogether too much
money for the plant and to those best
informed on the question it appears
that there is merit in this contention.
Unquestionably, it will be to the in
terest of the state to own its asylum
but in a transaction involving that
much money the closest possible
scrutiny should be exercised in order
to obvate any features which might
have the suggestion of crookedness
or be provocative Of scandal when
all of the facts become known

WHAT ADVERTISING DOES.

There are few people in this en-
lightened age who do not appreciate
the value of legitimate, we'll directed
advertising The advertising depart
ment is now recognized as the most
important Of every great commercial
enterprise, and this fact should be
true, to proportionate degree. i'll
every business establishment, large or
now shining example of the power
and force of affective advertising.
Within the past two years, three
railroad companies, the milwaukee,,
Northern Pacific and Great Northern,
have spent approximately half mil
lion dollars advertising the advantages
and resources Of the Treasure state
Other enterprises, such as commercial
clubs and private real estate concerns,
have doubtless spent as much more.
What is the result?
Montana's development is un-
paralleled in the history of common
wealth building. Montana. in a period
of FIVE years is doing what it took
other states fifty years to accomplish

been settled, and by reason of this
settlement, this land shall have in
creased in value hundreds Of millions
of dollars. One fact stands out as an
example preeminent of the advantage
OF this advertising.
In the year 1909 the state Of Mon
tana sold little over five thousand
acres Of land at an average price OF
sixteen dollars per acre The follow
ing year, in 1910. the state sold 49,
600 acres at an average price OF TWEEN
ty dollars per acre Advertising not
only provided a market for this vast
additional acreage but added four hun
dred sixty thousand dollars in cold
cash to the states fund for the public
schools and other institutions.
There are approximately one ant
quarter million acres Of first class
agricultural land in the Judith Basin
No one will deny that the advertising
which this section of country has re.
ceived during the past two years has
added at least fifteen dollars per acre
to the value of all this land. Tha
is a most conservative estimate. bu
in the aggregate it means an increase
of eighteen million seven hundret

ing blow? Would the world have
believed that the Kaiser was telling
the truth if he had said that he was
sending the army there only for the
purpose Of maneuvers, particularly as
there were many other sections OF
that country where these practice
exercises could be carried on. If Mr.
Taft expected the people OF this coun-
try who believe he was stating a fact,
in saying the movement was for the
purpose of maneuvers, he must know
by this time, that from the very be-
ginning they doubted everything he
said upon the subject. He has gained
nothing by his mysterious methods.
Fergus County Democrat., 1911-03-21

AN answer as to why President
Taft is sending practically the en-
tire standing army of the United
States to the Mexican border may be
discovered in the statement that Nor
gan and other Wall street interests
have S338,OOl 1913 invested in railroads
and other enterprises in the southern
republic. They put in their money
we'll knowing the unstable condition
OF the Mexican government, but were,
at the same time, playing their usual
cinche by reason of the knowledge
that they can force the American gov
ernment to protect their property
even if it should be necessary to de-
clare war to do So

ment contends that the smelter fumes
have been destroying trees on a ma
tional forest, which is located near
Anaconda, and insists that the Ana
conda Mining company pay the dam
age in addition to making such
changes in the smelter as to prevent
further damage. The smelter folks
say that this change cannot be made,
and the only alternative offered, if
the government presses its suit, is to
close down the smelter. 1t does not
take long for one to decide what will
happen to these cases if Tom Carter,
that great and good friend of the
Amalgamated, happens to be placed
in charge of the very department be-
fore which the cases are pending.
There may also be other reasons why
Carter should be wanted as attorney
general of the United States, but
they, perhaps, are not quite SO OBJ
vious as this one.

THE REAL REASON NOW.

Helena independent: The reason
why President Taft sent the troops
toward the Mexican frontier, which
startled the country and caused the
whole world to look on. IS gradually
becoming known, although the man
in the white house has sought to de-
ceive the people by saying it was for
the purpose of giving the army exer-
else in maneuvers. The pressure
brought upon the president to rally
the fighting forces OF the nation in
Texas and on the southern coasts in
both oceans, came from the vicinity
of Wall street As is we'll known.
several American millionaires are the
owners and operators of large min
ing industries in Mexico, which have
been interfered with by the insur-
rectos, and to protect the property of
these men is the secret of the whole
affair
The president, in a private con-
versatlon, which was not intended for
publication, stated as his reason for
ordering out the army and navy, was
to enforce neutrality laws, to prevent
the establishment of an independent
government in Lower California, to
protect the property of all foreigners
in Mexico, all done by arrangement
with Diaz. This does not seem a,
all unreasonable, but the stranges'
feature of it is, why the president die

He alarmed the country to an un
usual degree, and caused all Europ,
to believe that it was the intentio,
of the United States to take absolut,
possession of Mexico. The presiden

Reports from Washington are to
the effect that there is little JOY in
congressional circles as result of
the extra session call by President
Taft. The members of congress have
just gone through one hard grind
and for many reasons are strenuous
ly opposed to being forced into an
other right away. For one thing, it
gets almighty hot down on the banks
of the Potomac along in May and
June and statesmen do not look for
ward with any degree of pleasurable
anticipation of weeks OF sweltering
which is sure to be their portion.

the boys like to get back home as
much as possible to look after their
political fences. Very few men in
congress have their jobs nailed down
SO securely as to make it unnecessary
for them to be continually on the
| lookout AS a result of these various
objections on the part Of congressman
as to the extra session, President Taft
Is just as likely as not to experience
some difficulty III getting his Canadi-
an reciprocity measure through. The
boys on the other end OF Pennsyl-

vent their spite by landing on said
reciprocity with enough negative
votes to consign it to the bone yard

pie must rule all the time. / am what
is called a progressive, but l think
rather it is going back to old funda-
mental Jeffersonian and Lincolnian
principles. Equal rights for all and

paramount to the undying declaration
that is is government of the people,
for the people and by the people, and
they both represent the principles up
on which I stand,
