COURTS AND THE PRESS.

In the dispatches yesterday morning there were two
items of news which dealt with relations between the

fines which had been imposed upon them by the supreme

country for comment upon the action OF judge In this

action of the majority, probably
will be entirely content with the

Some of the democratic pro-
gressives in the United States sem
ate, it is reported, are in favor of
a compromise program, saying
that, the tendency of the times be-

istration will gain rather than lose
by the defeat Of some Of his meas
ures through the votes of the cx-
treme conservatives. Hell, it Is
said, is paved with good intentions.
Judging from the history of the
country, compromise paves the
way to hell. The compromises of
Henry Clay's day did not avert
war, and what Sherman called war
is we'll known.

FIX 1T UP.

There are about fifty children in
MISSOURI, anxious to attend school
and qualified to proceed with their
studies who are nevertheless wander
ing about without a school home 1t
is a situation which is unWarrantable
and intolerable. The failure of the
trustees of the city schools and those of
the county high school to reach an
agreement is absurd it smacks of pet
tiness and the people of the city are
justified in their anger over the situa-
tion. These fifty children have COM
pleted the work of the eighth grade;
they are ready to enter the high
school; some of them have applied for
enrolment only to be told that the
trustees of the county high school
have forbidden the reception of any
new pupils at this time. We believe
the matter could be adjusted easily If
consideration in anything but the hos
tile spirit which is shown. If there is
any reason for the quarrel between the
boards, let us know what it is If
there is no warrant for the present
situation, let us end it. But, in any
ease lot us make provision Immediate

PLEDGES ARE PLEDGES.

The situation in the democratic
ranks at Helena is drawing the line
sharply between the members of that
party who desire to frtlfill the platform
promises and those who would disre-
gard them utterly. Instead of brit tginS
these factions together, the weeks arc
but widening the breach between them.
During last week, The Missoulian
printed two statements, each from a
prominent platform democrat, which
stated the situation with clearness and
cXactncss. 1t is a condition which will
wreck the party. And the condition is
not merely local 1t is the same con-
dition which cOnfronts the president
elect as he surveys the situation in the
congress which he is soon to summon
in extra session. Discussing the Wash
inston situation, the Chicago Post
says:
In many things that Woodrow
Wilson has said about his forth
coming recommendations for ma
tional legislation he has shown The
courage Of uncOmpromising con-

he may succeed in getting his bills

found together after long ride
through the native Chinese or southern
city. They stand in straight row,
about 100 yards apart, in the midst of
acres of a courtyard which red walls
surround, in their turn forming little
more than a string in comparison with
the immense green fields stretching
away on all sides. These relics of
bygone age leave deeper impress
sion on the minds Of occidental visi-
tors than all other Chinese temples
or shrines. The Altar of Heaven and
the Temple of Heaven, consecrated
centuries ago to worship of Diety,
typify the heighth of Chinese thought.
Inside the blue domed Temple OF
Heaven there is only the simple altar
before which the emperor knelt. Red
pillars at the sides hold up the roof
and around the walls are delicately
carved sandalwood screens, each rep
resenting the spirit of departed en-
peror.
The Altar of Heaven stands out in
the open with only Gods blue sky
for a roof. 1t is a circular pile Of
white marble now yellowed and
cracked with age, with carved dragons
on many a square. 1t is built in mines
and multiples of mines. In the ascent
to the top there are three flights Of
marble stairs of nine steps each, and
there are nine Of these stairWays, all
converging toward the center of the
top But before the marble slab
which marks the exact center Is
reached, there intervenes tItween it
and tho ct nj ,f
in circular formation, all in groups
of nine, so that the narrowest circle
embracing the central stone is of lust
nine blocks. Here the emperor was
wont to lift his gaze unto God in the
heavens and ask atonement of the
sins of his 400,OO0,0O0 of subjects. The
spirit of this homage is still felt by
the visitor, even though the sacred
grounds are deserted.
So many Of Pekings finest palaces
and temples are in ruins that
thoughtful visitor falls to wondering
why an effort is not made to preserve
them. The daring exploits, art. liter
ature. tragedies and even comedies of
Chinese. Mongols and Manchus are
told in those broken columns, split
arches, desecrated idols. If the Chi
nese themselves cannot be induced to
adopt this eminently practical form of
ancestor worship, then the savants Of
the western world should act. Now
is the time. In China today the old
order giveth way to the new with such
dumfounding rapidity that it may soon
be too late to save it's ancient treas
ures for the enlightenment of poster
ity.

STATE AID FOR BRIDGE.

Salmon City, Feb. 2.--(Special.)-
Application will be made to the legis-
lature at Boise for state aid towards
building a new bridge across the Sal
mon river in this city. Surveyor Gran
dali has reported to the board OF
county commissioners that the present
bridge is in poor condition. About a
year ago, this bridge was condemned
by the old board of commissioners
The proposed new bridge will be of
steel girder construction, 42O feet long,
80 foot roadway with eight-foot side
walks on each side. There will be
three spans, with concrete piers and
abutments. The estimated cost will
be about $4,000.
