PASSING EVENTS

Comes now commencement week.
Last week brought the graduation ex-
ercises OF the county high school and
now. In quick succession comes the
program which marks the end OF the
year at the state university. Mis-
soula opens her gates today to the ar
irving guests. Commencement week
has come to occupy an important place
in the calendar OF this city; not az
important as 1t will be when Mlssoula
realizes what splendid possession
she has In the university and what
desirable people the institution brings
TO the city as permanent residents or
as honorcd visitors. Specially inter-
esting Is this years commencement
week. We shall have distinguished ID
scholars as the occasional orators OF
the several days: we shall have dis
tingulshed visitors in the throng OF
spectators: we shall greet men and

This years commencement orator is
one of the most famous college men In
the country: President Wheeler of tho
University OF California is one of the
worlds foremost scholars: his pres
ence here OH this occasion Is an honor
to Montana which Is appreciated and
a compliment to the University which

of the transportation abuses: the pure
made in the control of trusts by the
establishing of bureau of corpora
tons: and most important of all a new
idea became domnant-the idea of the
square deal.
Today, thanks to Roosevelt. hardly
man of Importance denies that nation
wide business Is n matter of public
concern. Everywhere the need and the
right of supervision is being more and
more recognized.
Special privilege Is still reeling under
the blows he gave. II is due to Roose-
Welt that President Taft has been able
to call special session of congress to
cut off tariff privileges: that corpora
, uons are more fully recognizing their
Obligations to minority stockholders
and to the general pubic. that fran
chise grabbing is a thing OF the past.
Without the sentiment that ROosn.
welt aroused Il would have been Inn
possible to make the successful fight
against an unjust franchise extension
in Kansas City year ago. The Kan
sas City public utilities board Is
Roosevelt product.
The fine Legislative program that
Governor Wilson has recently put
through in New Jersey, and the
speeches which he Is making through
the country today, are built on the
work of this remarkable man.
In thousand ways Indirect as wen
AS direct. the influence of Roosevelt
| has permeatcd this country. His splen-
did courage and devotion to tho square
deal have constituted lever that has
raised the whole body OF public sentl-
mcnt tn higher level.
At this time, out of the heat of any
campaign, with Roosevelt himself an
aspirant for no office, such an cstl-
mate of his services to the nation may
| fttingly be made.

IN PUBLIC AFFAiRs-It was II

IN PUBLIC AFFAiRS-1t was Thco-
dore Roosevelt who awakened the col
lcgc man to "A realization of his re-
sponsibiiities In relation to public af-
fairs. This sense of realization has
been quickcncd lately by the promi-
nence given to Woodrow Wilson, erst :
while president OF Princeton. Every
where the college man Is shouldering
more of the burden OF actual partlci-
patton in political affairs. Roosevelt
taught the folly OF merely preaching:
he emphasized the necessity for get
ting into the fray and taking part In
the operation of the campaign plans.
TOO long the college man had remained
aloof: too long he had preached the
science OF economies but had ignored
practical politics. Now he Is seeing his
mistake and mark the civic awakening.
1t Is too early to say that the political
boss is dead. but he is dying-that's
certain. Politics was never so free
from partisanship In this country as

body knows what the courts decision
would have been.
No body of men. not even Il supreme
court, can escape the influence of pub
lie opinion. and public opinion decade
ago was very different from what 1t Is
today.
TO the tremendous evolution that has
taken place many causes have contrib
uted. Chief among them has been the
powerfully aggressive personality of
Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt came to the presidency In
1901 at the very height OF the era when
great wealth was widely regarded as
above law and captains of industry
We're objects of worship.
"Give 'em what they want and they
will make us prosperous" was the
dominating sentiment.
Joseph II. Choate's plea to the SUI
preme count against the income tax,
for example, was stump speech, The
great lawyer urged the court to stop
the march of communism and protect
private property. In editing n standard
edition of "The Federalist" In 1898
Paul Leicester Ford denounced the in
heritance tax of New York as a gross
injustice perpetrated ON the wcll-to-
do bv the mob.
With thinking men holding such
views. attempts Mt trust regulation
We're regarded as "anarchistc." The

interruptions men did not fail to use
their chance. 1t was a time of fran
chise- grabbing, of manipulation for the
benefit of "insiders." of all the activ-
ties that afterwards came to be known
ironically as 'ihigh finance"
Into this atmosphere OF easy COM
placency, which nobody thought of dis
turbing, burst Roosevelt. preaching the
doctrine of the square deal. And not
only preaching.
Without warning his attorney general
went into court for an Injunction
against the beef trust. restraining the
| packers from raising or lowering prices
in collusion. Before the country had re-
covered from its surprise the govern
ment was seeking-again without serv-
ing notice-to dissolve the latest form
!, of trust. the Northern Securities COM
| pany.
! IT Is difficult at this day To recall
| the anger and amazement which these
proceedings awakened among the large
interests of the country, and the bit
| terness of the denunciation of the
president who had dared to interfere
with business.
! After the easy going tolerance of
| Mckinley. the strenuous activity of
Roosevelt shocked the country wide
| awake,
The president was quick to take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity. He toured
the country talking of the subject on
which his court proceedings had fo-
eussed public attention. For those davs
| It was revolutionary doctrine which he
preached:
1.-THE state not only has the right to
control the trusts. but 1t is in duty
bound to control them wherever the
need of such control Is shown. 7"
| 1t Is idle to say there is no need for
such supervision. There is: and suf-
| ficent warrant for 1t is TO be found in
any one Of the admitted evils apper-
tanning to them. The imme-
diate necessity in dealing with the
trusts is to place them under the real
and not the nominal control of some
sovereign to which they shall owe allie

OUR CiTY-We are approaching a
critical point In our local municipal
existence; soon we are to change the
form OF our administration of city af-
fairs; we must have good men to di
rect the business which we place In
their hands under the commission
form OF government. The college in
fluencc was strong In bringing about
the change from the old form of gov
strongly at work to bring about the
election OF good men to the offices
which are created under the new laws.
We do not mean that college men
must be selected for the commissioner
ships but we do mean that the same
influence which brought about the
adoption of the commission form OF
government must be kept constantly at
work. Good men must be placed on
guard. If the element which repre-
sents what is best I'm the city con-
tinucs Its active interest In the af
fairs of the municipality, there Is no
question whatever of the splendid sue
cess which will attend the operation of
the commission FORM OF government In
Missoula. If this Influence IS relaxed,
even for moment the plan will fail.
The commission government In evil
hands will be dangerous. In good
hands 1t will bring to the city material
prosperity and moral and ethical ad-
vancemcnt almost beyond expectation.
But good men must be elected. Not
goody- goody men-the Lord forbid!
But good men and able. Then shall
we see Mlssoula taking the place
which we hope she will take in the
slstcrhood OF Montana cities.

FAIRGROUNDS in line with
this matter OF civic bcttermcnt Is the
plan for organized public Fairgrounds
and the directed play of the children
of the city. We have talked about this
work increasingly at the risk of becom-
Ing monotonous. but this seems to MS
the most important proposition which

soula In u long time. II means much
to the city because 1t means much to
the boys and the girls of the city. 1t
means clean and strong bodies and
sound and clean minds. Wherever the
work has been taken up. 1t has brought
wonderfully good results. Those who
are directly interested In the start Of
the work here have engaged the serv-
ices of an experienced director for the
summer; II Is their hope that the re-
suits of the summer will prove the de-
STABILITY OF making the work perma
nent here. Some money rs required for
this work. The sum Is not great but

diture will be surprising. There have
