SHOULD GIVE HIS NAME

and Publicity Kennedy makes
the statement that there is a
Judge in the district court in
Montana who secures his election
each time by pandering to the
criminal element in his district.
This is a statement which calls
for details and if this is fact
then the people of the state are
entitled to know his name. Com
missioner Kennedy said:
From the BENCH he con-
tinued. 'he has issued the most
infamous mandates, calculated
to protect the offenders against
the law and to humiliate the Of
1icers endeavoring to do their
duty in the protection of society.
He consorts only with those who
are enemies of law and order
and decency. He loves licen-
tiousness and fondles folly. He
is a man of low impulses and
mean manners. All Montana
knows he is a disgrace to the
bench and to the legal profession.
In point of police service, he is as
useful as a brass knocker on
hen house door. He encumbers
the bench in district where
there are two district judges and
not enough court business to
keep one judge busy half the
tine. If ever the women of
Montana get the BALLOT, that
fellow and his like will speedily
retire from public life. -
Commissioner Kennedy was
speaking on the subject of Some
Laws the Women of Montana
Should Help Make He de-
clares drunkenness is a disease
and not crime, and that some
day the people of Montana will
awaken to the necessity and wis
dom of providing places of de-
tention for the inebriates, where
they may be treated sanely and
scientifically for the awful disease
which affiicts Them
Mrs. John J. Rogers, who has
been quite sick or the past three
weeks, is still confined to the
house
Mr.. and Mrs. Jay Carr are
enjoying a visit from the for
mer's father, G. w. Carr of
Spangle, Wash. He arrived here
Saturday last.
Rev. J. G. Ross and wife are
in Plains this week attending the
Sanders county Sunday school
convention. There will be no
services in Roman nor the Round
Butte church as a consequence.
President Wilson has demand
ed that Huerta resign the presi-
dency of the republic of Mexico
and that he shall not dictate who
shall be his successor. That is
getting pretty close to an ulti-
matum and the reply of Huerta
to this demand is awaited with
interest.
The supreme court of the
United States has decided in
favor of the state Of Massachu-
sets in the case of taxing foreign
corporations doing business in
that state. Several years ago
this law was passed and it has
been in the courts on the consti-
tutionality thereof ever since but
the highest court in the land
says the law is good.
The federal court at St. Paul
Mimi, is engaged in hearing the
argument of counsel for and
against the suit to diss olive the
international Harvester Co. The
government contends that this
company is a trust and that it
controls the entire output of
farm machinery in the United
States. The time may come
when independent concerns will
again enter the active field and
be competition to the Interna-
tional company.
Kalispell is exhilarated over a
statement by James J. Hill that
the Libby cutoff was to be built
and Kalispell again put on the
Great Northern. This state
ment was made in that city
Tuesday during a visit by promi-
nent railroad men including
President j. M. Hannaford of the
Northern Pacific. While the
news may be pleasant for Kalis-
pell the fact that President
Hannaford was along does not
give the people of the Mission
valley very much to brag over.
The state public service COM
mission has decided that the SER
vice in Helena has been charging
an excessive rate and has ordered
a reduction. This act will save
