TARIFF HUMBUG CAUSE
THAT WORKED THE REPUBLICAN,
DEFEAT IN 1910.
Mecumber Repeats SHY Paper Duty
statemenb on Which, His Party
Should Be Silent.

ed the silly statement that the division
in the Republican party was due to
the failure OF congress to remove the
duty on print paper, In consequences
Of which q large part Of the Republi-
can newspapers turned against their
party. denounced the Payne-Aldrich
law and allowed the Democrats to
elect the present house of repre-
sentatives.
This Is a libel on the Republican
newspapers. The dissatisfaction with
the present tariff was not created by
them, and the duty on printing paper
is a mere incident. II Mr.. McCumber
will read the platform of his own
party adopted four years ago he will
therein find a promise of tariff re-
vision, with clear implication that
duties should not be higher than diff
ferences in labor costs here and
abroad justified. We need not stop
here to ask If any such standard of
duties be practicable; the reports of
the tariff board have left no doubt
that 1t is not.
But what Is important to notice
here is that the last Republican con-
vention deemed 1t expedient to make
a promise that was universally nm.
derstood to. mean tariff reduction.
That promise would not have been
made II the convention had not clear
ly recognized that there was power
full sentiment opposed to the Dingley
.tariif inside the Republican party and
that some effort to placate 1t must be
made II the party would go into the
election with any hope of success.
Here is the documentary evidence; of
deep and widespread opposition to
extreme protection which had no
more reference to the paper duties
than to any other single item in the
list. The Payne-Aldrich tariff did not
fulfill the plain and obvious meaning
of the tariff revision promise in the
platform, and resentment at this, to-
gether with other causes. many Of
them local, occasioned the Republican
defeat in 1910.
But in regard to the paper duties 1t
Is worth saying again that we have
here complete exposure Of the hum
bug and false pretense of the Repub:
'licans on the tariff. These paper and
pulp duties were Investigated for
months by committee appointed by
Speaker Cannon. majority OF whose
members were Republicans and pro-
tectionists. The result Of their pro-
longed investigations was recon-
mendation that the duty on paper be
81 a ton and that certain pulp be free
and other pulp bear a duty proper
toned to that recommended for paper.
With this report of a Republican in
vestigation before It the senate, under
dictation of Senator Aldrich, proposed
to increase the duty on paper and
make 1t So. The Intervention of Pres
ident Taft caused a compromise be-
tween the two houses on 1915, not
quite twice as high as the duty Re-
publican special investigating com
mittee reported would meet all the
requirements OF the protective sys.
tenn.
In view Of this record we should
think Mr.. McCumber and all other
Republicans would be careful not to
call public attention to the scandal
Of the paper duty In the Payne-Aldrich
tariff.

Northern Pacific Active Again

The indications strongly un-
derlaid with facts-now are that
the ola reliable Northern Pacific
road will resume the work of
building west from Mott early in
the spring.
All last week M. L. Connally.
chief of right-of-way for the N.
T, was in Mott closing up all
matters pertaining to the pur-
chase of lands situated along the
proposed line of the Northern
Pacific west of Mott. Mr.. Con-
nally came direct from the head
office at ST. Paul with strict or
ders to consult land owners who
are interested in the sale of the
property which the. N. P. pro-
poses to traverse in it's extension
west from Mott to the main line
at Terry and to close up all ne
gotiations for the land.
Mr.. Connally correspondingly
entered upon his duties at once.
There were only two tracts in
which matters were pending, the
balance of the right.of f-way hay
ing been purchased and the deals
closed up last year. One was the
adjustment of the Jacob Barth
Jr. property involving two quar-
ters near Mott and the land own
ed by Chas. Mutchelknaus also
of Mott. We understand the
price paid for the lands in ques-
tion was about $4,000. This
leaves a clear field for the
N. P. to commence work in the
spring. Mott Pioneer Press.

Only Survivor Of
Black Hawk War

Glendive, Feb. l7-With the
death of the venerable Paul l.,
Hawks, ut his sons home at Wi
baux, there passed from life one of
the most remarkable men in Mon.
tana.
Mr.. Hawks was born in Bristol.
England, March 7. 1913, and was
SO years old. He is said to have
been the only survivor of the cele.
brated Black Hawk war, one OF
the most sanguinary Indian cam
paigns in the eventful history of
the west.
For a great many years the de-
ceased lived at Winona, Mimi. A
few months ago he came to Mon
tana to make his home with his
son at Wibaux.
Mr.. Hawks death was due to
pneumonia.
1t is characteristic of this good
mans remarkable career and
peaceful end that he selected the
text OF his own funeral sermon,
namely, Psalms xxxiv, 6: ''This
poor man cried; the Lord heard
him, and delivered him out of his
troubles. Butte Miner.

Railroads Will Offer inducements

Beginning March 1st, the vari-
Gus railroads will offer splendid
rates to landseekers coming to
Montana and it is expected that
thousands of colonists will avail
themselves of this opportunity
Of seeing the west. During the
past few months, or ever since
the land shows in New York and
ST. Paul, the immigration depart
ments of all lines have had more
than they could attend to in
answering the numerous in
quiries that have come from all
parts of the country in regard
to the possibilities of &C quiring
homesteads and the price of
land in the western states. Ma
turally, Montana comes in for
more attention than her sister
states owing to her wonderful
showing at both New York and
st. Paul and it is safe to say
that the greater number Of set
tiers will come here. And they
won't be disappointed in what
they find, either. If they real
ly have any intentions of locat-
ing and will look the country
over carefully it's ten to one
bet that they will buy and once,
they live here year, 20 horse
power traction engine couldn't
pull them away. The Inland

Charles O'Conne||
Commits Suicide

Glendive, Feb. 2O.-This COM
munity was s4oced this morning
when it became known that
Charles O'Connell, one of the best.
known Northern Pacific conduct
ors running out of Glendive, had
committed suicide during the
night by shooting himself with a
revolver.
Shortly after midnight Mrs.
O'Connell was awakened by hear
ing what she first supposed was
the fall of chair. She called to
her husband and, receiving no
answer, proceeded to investigate.
She found him lying partly iii the
kitchen, with his head and should
ers in the bathroom. Supposing
he had fallen in faint, Mrs.
O'Connell tried to lift the body.
Then she discovered the flow of
blood and realized that he was
dead.
No cause for Mr.. O'Connell's
act is known except that physical
ly he had been a great sufferer for
years. But with it all he was of
particularly cheerful disposition.
lie was one Of the Northern Pa
citic's most trusted and valuable
employees. He is survived by a
wife and six children. Anaconda

evening between Billy Morse OF
Miles City, and Billy Frost of Wi.
baux was staged at the Beach
Opera House before a large audi
ence. The bout lasted but three
rounds when Referee Whit Tyrrell,
of Wibaux, gave the fight to
Morse on a foul. Both men were
in good condition and the bout
would undoubtedly have been q
good one should it have went a
longer route.
After the above bout Billy Morse
challenged Bert Nelson, another
Wibaux glove artist to 2O-round
glove contest to be held the first
part of April. The challenge was
Immediately accepted and both
men are now preparing for the

formerly taken on some of the
best of them, and has always made
a good showing for himself. Local
fans will watch for this bout with
no little amount of interest.

Women Must Register

The Attorney General has rem.
dered an opinion that all women
must register in order to vote at
the annual school election on the
first Saturday in April. All per-
sons who desire to vote at the Wi
baux city election must register.
Any person who has not registered
since July l, 1911, must register
in order to vote. Don't get the
idea that because you registered
two years ago that you do not have
to register again. You may reg
lister before the County Clerk, 7. J.
Bushell or R. B. Chappell.
The notaries and justices are
having some trouble owing to the
fact that the voter does not know
the section, township and range
in which he resides. A number
of registration papers have been
returned by the county clerk ow-
ing TO the fact that the voter gave
the wrong section, township or
range number. Before you call to
register look at your final proof
papers and get the description Of
your land.

Recent U. S Land
Office Decision

The Department is without au.
thority to extend the life Of an en-.
try and permit the entryman to
make compliance with the law as
to either residence or cultivation,
subsequent to the expiration OF
the statutory life thereof.
Where lands which have been
withdrawn from all disposition are
restored to entry, no application
will be received or any rights re-
cognized as initiated by the tender
of an application for any such
lands until the order of restitution
is received by the local office.
Citing George B. Pratt (3S L. ID.
l46).
The act of 1908, providing for
second entries, has no retroactive
effect which will operate to cure Il
defective right based upon a clai
of prior settlement and at the
same time cut off and defeat the
assertion of a superior adverse
claim. In other words, one dis
qualified to initiate valid settle
ment right cannot claim the privi-
lege of having his status as an en-
tryman determined as of the date
Of his application to protect such
invalid settlement right. The
right will only be projected from
the date the impediment to it's ini-
tiation is removed, and the right
attaches.
The act of February 18th, 1911,
extending time Of residence in Ger.
tain states is a remedial statute
and should be construed literally.
Therefore, the same covers period
of time from December lst. 1910.
until May 18th. inclusive.
