LEGALITY OF
GRAND JURY

A Motion to Quash Indictment Sets

luash the indictment against Frank

Attorney Welsh, in arguing the
motion, declared that the statute call

in the case of the present jury.
In overriding that section of the
motion, Judge Shackleford defended
his action in ordering an open venire
and the motion was lost.
Another section of the motion re-
feired to the method of drawing up

an error in form. On this ground
the indictment was quashed. Court

BIGGEST TRAIN
AUTOMOBILES

Again the record for the largest
trainload of automobiles ever ship
ped in the world has been broken
and again the shipment will move
over the Hartman railroads to the
Pacific coast. The Buick Automobile
company, which broke all previous
records by shipping 80 full carloads
of automobiles by any single train
from its factory at Flint, Mich, has
now shipped trainload of > 3 cars.
which passed through Denver, Mon
day, March 4, and will move as rap
idly as practicable to destination.
This makes 105 carloads of auto
mobiles shipped by single company
to the Pacific coast within a month.
1t affords the best possible evidence
of the favorable business and finan-
cial conditions existing in the west.
Both trainloads of machines were
sold when ordered. showing that the
people of the coast have money and
are not backward in spending It. OF
course this is by no means all the
automobiles that the coast people
lave purchased in that period, but 1t
shows the largest shipments ever
made by any company within month
o any territory. and to that extent

any other section of the country.
The shipment of so large con-
iignment of any single commodity al
ways attracts wide attention among
leople in the territory to which the
goods are shipped, as well as among
he people along the route the ship
nent follows. Thousands of people
we're out at various points along the
Union Pacific between Denver and
Ogden to watch the other train pass
through In February. Interest was
aroused because 1t was the largest
shipment OF its kind ever made. and
more especially because 1t was a
shipment of automobiles, for every
body. owners of automobiles and
those not yet fortunate enough to be
in that class, are interested in auto
mobiles and everything connected
with them.

WAITING TO SHIP
WOOL TO THE u. S
Australian Sheep RaIsera Anxious fo'
Democratic Vie
tory.

From the GLASGOW. Mont. Independent.
The Hon. James Bryce, British am
bassador to the United States, has
been In Australia this summer, and in
a recent speech at Melbourne he cheer,
ed the hearts of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros,
pect Of ar early reduction In the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted, would mean a large increase in
the wool experts from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador is right. That is
just what will happen If the wool tariff
is lowered, and the Montana sheer
men know, because they remember
what happened In 1894 when WOO
wasn't worth anything and when sheer
were worth even less. When the Dem
ocratic members of the ways and
means committee of the house, in the
recent session Of congress-, presented
heir wool bill for consideration, they
claimed that 1t would increase the i'm
ports Of wool into America by 1870,
O00, 900 pounds.
But there can be no increase in the
consumption Of wool and the Amer
lean grower is wondering what would
become Of 100, 900, 900 pounds of his
wool under the Democratic tariff laws
Nearly 30 00, 900 Of that 80, 600, 900 is
grown right here in Montana. 1t Is no
wonder that England is urging the
election of a Democratic congress and
nat London looks with favor upon the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.

Mr.. R~oosevelt's explanation is un-
worthy Of consideration for two rea-
sons In the first place, a man in
his position from whom advice and
suggestion had been sought by the
president of the United States ought
not to admit having hastily endorsed
reciprocity without knowing what he
was doing. AS a matter Of fact, Mr..
Roosevelt's letters and speeches
his record.
More than this, Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
PLANTATION is an insult to the intelli-
gent voter because in his letter to
President Taft he says, II firmly be-
lieve In free trade with Canada"
This is going farther than President
Taft ever went, because Mr.. Taft's
idea Of reciprocity was to obtain val
liable consideration in return for con
cessions granted. Roosevelt's free
trade proposition II enacted into law
would break down all the barriers
between Canada and the United
States and would cause tremendous
financial loss to American farmers.
The fact Is that Mr.. Roosevelt was
heartily in favor Of reciprocity and
Of free trade with Canada until he
made his tour Of the west before the
Republican national convention, when
he found that reciprocity was unpop-
ular. Then he shifted. His pres
ent attitude demonstrates his utter
insincerity and shows that he is ready
to do anything to catch votes. He
Is ready to endorse anything that he
believes is popular and to condemn
that which he thinks is unpopular
without regard to his own convictions
or wise governmental policies. The
manner In which he has suddenly re
versed himself in the hope that by
so doing he would gain a few votes is
an example Of demagogism thorough.
ly typical Of his character.
II is also important to remember
that IL a Democratic president should
be elected reciprocity with Canada
would soon be an accomplished fact.
inasmuch as the Democrats In the
house Of representatives voted for It
and also voted against repeating the
law which had been passed. Demo
cratic reciprocity is the kind that
the Canadian newspapers are hoping
Canada will secure. because It will
mean that Canada will get everything
from the U-'ted States and give moth

WILL GET MORE SALARY

Still another evidence of Repub-

ROOSEVELT AND
RECIPROCITY ISSUE
lNSINCERlTY AND DEMAGOGlSM
OF THIRD TERM CAN
DIDATE SHOWN.
WHY HE SHIFTED POSITION
He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but
Wrote President Taft That He
Firmly Believed In Free Trade
With Canada.

Although reciprocity is now a lead
issue, 1t is worth while, for the en-
~lightenment of those who oppose
President Taft for his endorsement
of reciprocity, to recall the position
taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that
question. Mr.. Roosevelt favors free
trade with Canada and was an ardent
advocate and supporter Of reciprocity
until he found that its endorsement
would not help him in his third term
race.
President Taft, while he was con-
sidering the question Of reciprocity,
naturally consulted with ex-President
Roosevelt. He knew that Mr.. Roose-
Welt had been president, that he was
familiar with the subject and that he
was, at that time, a good and loyal
Republican. When, in the course OF
a lengthy letter, he asked Mr.. Roose-
velt's advice, he reviewed both sides
of the matter in impartial fashion.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reply was not only a
full endorsement but he went so far
as to advocate absolute free trade
with Canada Mr.. Roosevelt wrote
as follows: ..
Roosevelt for Free Trade With Canada.

Ever yours, ~.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT. or
Not only In his letter to President
Taft, but also n speeches Mr.. Roose-
velt endorsed reciprocity. At Grand
Rapids, Mich, on February IL, 1911,
he said:
Here. friends, In Michigan, right
on the northern frontier, / have the
peculiar right to say q word Of con
GRADUATION to you and to all Of us
upon the likelihood that We shall soon
have closer reciprocal tariff and trade
relations with the great nation to the
north Of u.s."
And In a speech before the Rspub-
,ican club Of New York city, deliv-
hfed on February Is. 1911. Mr.. Roose-
yslt gave emphatic e~ndorsement Of
President Taft and reciprocity in the
following words:
Il want TO say how glad I am at
the way In which the members Of the
club here tonight responded 10 the
two appeals made to them to uphold
the hands Of President TAFT. both In
bis effort to secure reciprocity with
Canada and In his effort to secure
the fertilization of the Panama canal"
Explanation Does Not Explain.
In the face of this record Mr.. Roose-
velt now explains his antagonism to
reciprocity by saying that he did not
FULLY understand the proposition and
endorsed It under . Misrepresentation
