SsR III Probably not five per cent of the
voters knew anything about the
relative qualifications of the can
8didates for tile minor state officers
voted upon last Tuesday. Would
sit not be better to leave the selec-
Stion of these officials to the COVER,
nor than to the whim or ignorance
ssof voters who simply refuse to be-
come interested in their selection :?
| If any appointee proves derelict in
his duty, the official who named
him must bear the responsibility
That is a better safeguard to the
4 public than the gamble of a gener'
\ al election. Mitchell Republican.
There is doubtless a great deal
of truth in the statement of the
Republican, but is this not heresy
TO the cause OF political progress ?
AiThe recent popular cry has been to
submit everything, from the noml-
nation of road overseer to the re-
call of supreme court decision,
Ito a popular vote of the people.
s To read in paper of progressive
leanings statement that the ballot
is already too complicated for the
understanding of the voters is
somewhat surprising, and is apt to
brand the editor as a wicked re.
dictionary.

1t would be unjust to Loomis S.
Gull to consider the vote cast for
him in the primaries as an indica-
ton of his personal standing IN
the state. His location and lack
of acquaintance throughout the
state were against him, and the
general impression prevailed that
the real fight was between Byrne
and Egan and this fact largely
determined the vote.

On the state and congressional
ticket the returns from the pri'
maries held last week are still IN
dispute and will probably not be
conceded by all of the candidates
until after the official count. A
report from Pierre states that the
official count will not be given
until after the national convention
is held. It seems practically GER
tain however, that the following
candidates have been nominated
on the republican ticket:
Sterling for U. s. Senator by
plurality of about 900.
Dillon for representative from
first district by about 800, ant
Burke and Martin from the seconc
and third districts by good ma
jorities.
Byrne for governor by a pluralit.

Little Bow Is Shot.

Missoula.-Donald Cromwell, 6-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. A. Crom-
well, died as the result Of accidental
shooting which occurred at the Crom-
well ranch. The lad was mistaken
for a burglar by Walter Smith, the
hired man, who fired upon him with
revolver in the darkness, the bullet
striking the boy in the abdomen. The
Cromwells left few days ago on a
fishing trip, leaving the ranch in
charge of Smith. The family returned
at night and while Mr.. Cromwell was
putting up his horse, his wife and DON
aid went to the house. They found
the door locked and the lad volun-
teered to enter the house through the
basement and unfasten the door for
his parents. Smith was asleep, when
he heard the noise in the basement
and shot at the figure he could see in
the darkness without calling to the
supposed intruder.

many talk with Temple, and found
that he lived in Dobbs Ferry, in a
splendid mansion. l judged that he
was the black sheep in the family,
for his brothers WIRE all in business,
he told me, and he did nothing but
blow in an allowance which he re.
ceived from his father.
During one of our chats he told
ame that his father kept a big bank
roll in his safe at home, and the only
reason he gave for it was that the
old man was getting cranky. l be-
came deeply interested in the story,
owing to the hard times that had
struck the firm Of Wooley & Spengler,
and tried to- get Temple to fix a limit
on the old mans pile. He couldn't
or wouldn't do it, and sent Andy up
to Dobbs Ferry to take a look at the
Temple mansion, to find out what
sort of prospect there was for an
exchange of the Temple bank-roll
The house was far in the country and
about on the dividing line with Hast
ings. Andy came back with a report
that the game was as easy as the
kick of a goose, and the coin-box was
like finding it in the street. l did not
exactly relish going back to old
tricks, but something had to be done,
and that was all there was about it.
The plan of the house showed that it
was adapted for second-story work,
and there were only two men who
lived in it. One was my young friend
Temple and the other was the old
man. The other inmates were women;
two or three daughters and domes-
tic servants. Andy was not able to
get the location of the strong box,
so as to know what tools could best
be used to open it.
1--WE picked out for our visit very
stormy night, when we knew that
young Temple was in the city blow
ing in his allowance. This left us
only the old man to deal with and the
women. We went up the river on an
early train as far as Yonkers and
there l got q carriage from a solid
friend of mine who knew enough to
keep his mouth shut and ask no
questions. We reached the Temple
house before midnight. All the lights
were out and Andy went up pillar
on the back piazza to the roof and
fastened a rope ladder for future use
We got into the house in about five
minutes. We went to the different
rooms on the second floor and found
old Temple alone in bed asleep.
There was no one in the adjoining
rooms, and l woke him up. l made
things plain to him: It was simply to
give up the safe combination or lose
his life. He was badly scared, and
said that he would open the strong
box. He got up, shaking like a leaf,
and took us to an Office off the dining
room. I made lights in several rooms
so that the light in the Office would
not attract attention, while Andy had
the old man working on the lock.
When returned to the Office the old
man groaned suddenly, placed his
hand over his heart and fell heavily
against the safe door. He was I'M
conscious, and We carried him into
another room, opened the safe and
cleaned it out. We reached New
York before daylight with big roll
