YOUR TOWN.

More towns die for want of conf
dence on the part of business men and
lack of public spirit than any other
cause. When a man in search of a
home or business location goes into
town and finds everything brim full
Of hope and enthusiasm Of the pros
poets of the place, and all earnestly
at work to build it up, he soon be-
comes imbued with the same spirit,
and as a result he drives down stakes
and goes to work with the same in
terest. When, however he goes to y
town where every one expresses doubt
and apprehension for the future pros
peritv of the place. moping about and
indulging in mournful complaints he
naturally feels that il is 10 place for
him. and lie ut once shakes the dust
off his feet while he pulls out with all
possible speed for some other place.
Consequently try and make live,
enterprising town out of the town in
which you live. When you are work
ing for or saying good thing for
your town you are accomplishing All
the more for yourself.

INCREASING FLAX
ACREAGE in BASIN

Montana surprised the world last
year with it's production Of flax and
in this the Judith basin has contribute
ed largely. Here, rs elsewhere in
Montana flax was Il new crop last
season Comparatively few had pre-
vious actual experience in the cult
yatiOn of flax and there We're many
lessons to be learned. In spite Of
these difficulties. the average yield
was good and this year it will be
considerably larger.
There is certain to be Il much heav-
Ter acreage in flax in the Judith basin
this season than last. For this there
are several reason. Owing to stormy
weather many who intended to put in
spring wheat have been delayed and
will make up the shortage by planting
flax and oats. 1t is too early yet to
give any estimate OF the flax acreage
i'll the Judith basin. but it is certain
to show II marked increase.
TO show the attention flax growing
III Montana is attracting in the out

II surprise to many:
Montana has been experimenting
with flax, and finds that she likes it,
and flax likes Montana, the yield being
better than the general average, and

usually rich in oil. In 1909 the area
planted was s7,6l7 acres, yielding
447 900 bushels. In 1911 it had in

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The republicans of Meagher county,
who believe in decency in politics,
gathered in delegate convention at
Harlowton Monday afternoon and
elected eleven delegates to the Liv-
ingston convention.
These delegates were pledged to
Roosevelt, which undoubtedly made
it impossible to be seated in the AM
alganated convention ut Livingston,
but each delegate so elected pledged
himself to 90 to the convention, not
withstanding the hopeless outlook to
be seated. more as y living protest
against unfair methods III politics
than anything else.
Judge E. X. Cheadle delivered one
OF the ablest speeches ever listened
to by the delegates assembled. 1t
was mastery presentation OF the
issues in Montana, and the Journal
has made arrangements to publish 1t
in full in some future issue. The
facts presented by the Judge should
be known by every voter, and it will
make good reading at any time.
Judge Cheadle is making the fight
against the powerful corporate inter-
ests in the state controlling state pol
itics at great personal sacrifice
both in money and political prefer
ment. He is one Of the ablest men in
the state, and there is no question
that if he had bowed the knee to the
Aihalgamated Copper company he
could have had the position that has
been his life's ambition to occupy.
But lie has entered the lists in behalf
of the people, occupying the front
ranks OH the firing line. His great
services in behalf Of us common NOR
tails who are now helpless to protect
ourselves from the steam roller Of
the Amalgamated. will he betittingly
rewarded WHEN the people are equip
ped with the modern firing arms
known rs the primary election law.
The presence Of prominent and de-
termined men from all parts OF the
county at the republican convention
at liarlowton presages the downfall
of the political bosses Of Meagher and
their entire elimination from the con-
tro! Of the party machinery this fall.
The young men are thoroughly
aroused. and upon them rests the
hopes Of the party.
1t requires more courage to face
the battle now being waged by the
special interests against the common
people than it did from the soldiers
of America who fought theg eat pow
er Of England in our revolutionary
war for independence, and the soldi-
ers Of the north in our civil war who
fought on bloody battle fields for hui
man rights. Judge Cheadle sounded
the keynote of the campaign when lie
voiced this sentiment. Every man
who takes up arms in behalf of hui
man rights in this campaign stands il
good chance of being financially ruin
ed and socially disgraced by the pow
Grful enemy, two things that are
worse than death. But tie bloodless
and moral war is on. The generals
Of the people are keeping close tab
on the fighters in the ranks for speci-
al privileges against human rights.
and when the people came into their
own through the primary election
law. these special privilege fellows
will be buried politically SO effective
ly that there will be no political res
direction for them.

ROOSEVELT WINS
IN CALIFORNIA

San Francisco, May 14.-At the iirst
primary election in which women Of
California ever voted. the state went
overwhelmingly for Roosevelt on the
republican ticket and for Clark on the
democratic ticket.
Taft ran u poor second and La Fol-
lette agood third. Wilson was the only
other democrat in sight.
Only in San Francisco was the race
at any moment close. Even in North
ern California, where the Taft man.
agement relied for it's strength, the
colonel led all the way.
In Los Angeles, his vote was heav-
Ter than that of both his rivals COM
bined, and the southland in general
was his stronghold. although San Di-
ego gave la Toilette u plurality.
The san Francisco registration of
women was light, but the proportion
Of those registered who voted was
heavy. When the two-thirds Of the
precincts had been counted the indi-
cations were that the city had gone
for Roosevelt by 1900 or more.

Notes of the Convention.

Senator Tooley was at the train
when the delegates arrived, and was
requested to remain and see how the
work ought to be done. He, how
ever. pleaded important business EN-
gagements at Twodot. and continued
OH home.
Harlowton is certainly the place to
hold the conventions. They have am
pie accommodations down there for
entertaining guests and holding as
semblages, and the town is conven-
iently located for delegates from all
parts Of the county. The boys know
how to do things in the entertaining
way also.
Everybody remarked that Judge
Cheadle's speech was the best they ev.
er heard. The Judge is sure Il yalient
warrior. not afraid to tell the truth
no matter whom it hurts, and is an Ell
oquent aud forcefnl speaker. The
people will not forget him.
Chairman Lackey presided in Dig
nitied way. and his little talk upon
assuming the chair was heartily ap-
plauded. Mr.. Lackey is IL progress
gressive Of progressives. and will
render good service in the battle that
is just beginning in Montana politics.
All the delegates at the convention
were the most representative citizens
from their respective communities.
They are men who carry influence
with their neighbOrs. and who will
this fall have something to say as to
who shall be nominated on the reprb-
lican ticket this fall. And there will
be no steam roller used either.
