as IA citizen. Especially is the per-
Torrance of this duty imperative this
spring in Missoula. An element in the
city has organized for a systematic
attack upon good, clean government.
1t becomes the duty of good citizens
to vote so strongly as to rebuke such
liam Houston for the office of COM
missioner is opposed for the avowed
purpose of defeating clean government
and of bringing into disrepute, if pos
sible, the commission form of govern
ment. There are enough voters in
Missoula with strong desire to see
good government maintained in the
city, to elect Mr.. Houston. The only
possibility of his defeat lies in the
indifference of his friends. Some of
them appear to think that, there is no
need for effort in his behalf. Those
who hold this opinion do not realize
how desperate is the attack which is
being made upon Mr.. Houston by the
forces which have organized against
him. 1t is the duty of every good cit
lot on Monday and to urge his neigh
Dor to vote. 1t is important to get
out the full vote. There must be no
lethargy on the part of the voters. The
issue is Important; the effect of the
election will be marked, either for
good or for evil, upon the city's flu
ture. A large vote will make it GER
tain that the result will be for good.
MAKING GARDENS - The spring
has advanced sufficiently - though
the advance has been timid-to war
rant definite. plans for the home gar
den. This year The Muscular adver-
tised it's offer of garden prizes early
enough so that everybody might make
the preparations necessary for partic-
ipation. There have already been a
good many entries for the prizes.
These entries will not close until Nav
1. There is plenty of time for a start.
Fifty dollars will be distributed among
the winners of these. prizes which are
offered for flower gardens at Missoula
homes. The entries must be made
with Secretary Ferguson of the Mis-
soula Chamber of Commerce. 1t is the.
hope of the management of The Mis-
soulian that there will be a general
participation in this contest this year.
There is no entrance fec. required. All
that is necessary is to have the name
and the address of the entrant left
with the secretary of the chamber Of
commerce earlier than May /. The
judges will inspect all premises which
have been entered before that date.
Later in the season, there will be other
inspections. The date of the final in
spection will he governed by the sea-
son; it will be announced in due time.
But, right now, the thing to do is to
get started in this contest. 1t will be
a step toward a city beautiful. And
a vote for Houston will be an aid

MINNESOTA FIRST.

Much space has been given by the
Minneapolis Journal to the contem-
plated good roads day program in
Missouri, and that paper conveys the
startling intelligence that some old
Mother Hubbard in Minneapolis is
studying the Missouri plan with the
idea of having it adopted in this
state. Minnesota was the first state
in the union to designate by law a
Good Roads Day-sec. %, chap. 235
laws of l913-and this year the day
was appropriately observed in many
localities in the state. In the little
village of Princeton the major share
of the work of constructing one-half
mile of crushed granite road was &C.
complished 10y volunteers on Good
Roads Day,-besides the citizens
contributed $500 in cash, and there
is no half mile of road in Hennepin
county that will compare with it.
For the information of the Journal
and it's Mother Hubbard the section
of law referred to above is quoted in
full: Ill.
Sec. 23.-The third, Tuesday of
June in each year is hereby desig-
mated as GOOD Roads Day" and the
governor shall annually, on or before
the first day of June. by public proc
lamation, request the people of the
state to contribute labor, material
or money toward the improvement
of public highways in their respec.
tive communities, upon that day.

the committee on credentials was re-
jected by the convention and the
delegation from Hennepin county
was unseated, but Dunn had a clear
majority of from IS to 40 conceding
the Hennepin delegation to his op-
ponent.
After the most villainous cam
paign in the history of the state, in
which all the large interests, in
GLIDING the liquor interests, were ar
rayed against him, Dunn was de-
feated by the vote of Minneapolis
he carried the state outside of that
city. The only newspapers in the
twin cities that gave Dunn any sup
port whatever were the St. Paul
Pioneer Press and the Minneapolis
Tribune.

So General Felix Diaz, who was
sent to Japan by Huerta for the pur-
pose of negotiating an alliance with
Mexico, found the emperor mot to
home'-at least to him. Diaz was
told the emperor was at his summer
sojourning place and could not be
disturbed even for SO important an
emissary as General Diaz. So the
general has started upon his return
trip cursing his bad luck in the
language of the dons. The refusal
of the emperor to receive the Mexi-
can emissary is a direct insult to
Huerta, but, so far as Japan cares.

Railroad-baitlng demagogues, leg
islative and executive, should sub
side for a time. A railroad cannot
be operated at less than the cost of
maintenance, neither can any other
business. It is unreasonable to ex-
pect that railway rates can be
materially reduced and the cost of
maintenance exorbitant]y increased
without an impairment of the
service. This from the Pioneer
Press is to the point:
"A railway cannot be operated at
less than the cost of the service it is
giving. There should be no DISPOSE
tion to insist on the impossible. The
people want their moneys worth in
dealing with the railway companies
and that is all to which they are en-
titled. The time should be no more
when they will listen to demagogues
who would make them believe it is
possible to get a dollars worth OF
transportation for 80 cents. It can.

MEASUREMENT CORRECTED.

A Washington special to the In
dianapolis News, with reference to
John Lind, reproduced in the Min
neapolis Tribune, contains many
misstatements. Here is a sample:
"On Lind's return from that war
he was elected governor of Minnesota
as a democrat. The story of his
election to the governorship is
strongly reminiscent of recent years
in republican politics. R. G. Dunn,
editor of the Princeton Union, had
been state auditor of Minnesota
for eight years, and aspired to be
governor. But he was opposed by
another candidate, and when he got
into the campaign the great city dis
tricts of Minneapolis and St. Paul
went against him.
sin the state convention held in
the Metropolitan opera house, Dunn
obtained control of the committee
on credentials, which made up the
temporary organization, the dele
gates from Minneapolis and St. Paul
were thrown out and Dunn was
nominated. The whole thing was a
clear steal, and the anti-Dunn men
so resented it that when Lind took
the democratic nomination they
were only too glad to vote for him. -
John Lind was the democratic can
didate for governor in 1896 and was
defeated by D. NJ. Clough, republi-
can. Mr.. Lind was again candi-
date in 1898 and defeated William
Henry Eustis, the republican candi-
date. Lind was candidate for re.
election and, owing to the social.
democrat candidate, was defeated by
| a narrow plurality, in fact many
people to this day believe he was
honestly elected.
Dunn was fairly nominated in 1904
John A. Johnson was his opponent
and was elected. Dunn's friends
did not control the committee or
credentials in the republican state
lconvention. The majority report Q:

transportation, coupled with most
wonderful genius for invention, or
ganization and development, have
enabled the American people to
produce untold millions of wealth
and to form the most gigantic COM
mercial and industrial organizations
ever known to the civilized world.
''The effective control of these
business organizations by nation,
state and municipality has long
been the object of legislative and
executive authority, but not until
the last two decades has such control
become generally effective. This ap-
plies specially to public utilities Or
CARNATIONS. Prior to the last two
decades the control of public utili-
ties was attempted only by the vari-
Gus municipalities. That such regu-
lation, with very few exceptions, has
been failure is now quite generally
conceded. 1t has been found utterly
impossible to keep the public utili-
ties out Of politics and the con-
stantly changing municipal authori-
ties, dominated largely by ward poll
ticians, have made their campaigns
on some issues involving such public
utilities organizations with the
result generally that the public
utilities have either dominated the
administration or have been made
a political football for the benefit of
INSCRIPTIONS politicians. Only the
favored few have benefited by such
administration and the vast majority
of consumers have been compelled
to pay high and discriminatory rates
for inadequate and inferior service. :"

A fashionably dressed young man
of polished manners "dropped into"
Minneapolis the other day and, by
the successful passage of worthless
checks, swindled number of
jewelers. and others out of goods and
money aggregating 81, 400. He then
suddenly disappeared and the Mime
apolis police, as is usual in such case,
are looking for him. 1t is about
time Minneapolis storekeepers were
"getting wise'' to the fraudulent
check scheme. Scarcely day passes

by this dodge. AS easy marks they
are evidently the limit.

St. Cloud appears to be another
city where the commission form of
government is not working out Salts
factorily. At any rate two of the
members of that body have reported
to the state tax commission that
Commissioner Rocholt failed to make
the assessments in St. Cloud as re-
quired by ]aw-that he simply copied
the county auditor s records, that he
failed to include the years improve
ments, that he omitted to place new
families on the tax lists, and that he
returned no assessments for moneys
