Express Companies viii Compete.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-Direc,
competition, national in scope, be.
tween the Wells.Fargo Express con'
pany and the federal parcel post will
go into effect As soon as plans which
the company has been maturing for
the past four years a be set afoot.
Such was the statement made here to-
day by G. II. Graham, traffic mana
ger of the company, at a hearing be-
fore the stat railroad commission.
1--WE are in communication with the
other express c~ompanies,' said Mr..
Graham, " and although they have
not signitied to US their fna! decis-
ion We hope they will fall into line"
Competition, be explained, would
be to both rates and service, with speci.
al regard to butter, eggs, poultry and
other %perishable foodstutfs. to be de.
livered directly from shipper to con-
signee, thus eliminating the middle.
mans profits. Eleven pounds would
be the maximum weight acceptable as
with the parcel post.

Court Denies State Control.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE power
of the states over railroads and ex.
press companies suffered . hard blow
today when the supreme court held
that since the passage of the Car.
mack amendment to the interstate
commerce law In 1906, the states had
ceased to have the right to annul
contracts between railroads and ship.
pers limiting the liability for the loss
for interstate shipments.
Another serious blow was delivered
when the court held that the states,
since the passage of the interstate
commerce acts and particularly the
Hepburn law in 1906, had no power to
penalize railroads for failure to fur
ntsh cars for interstate shipments. In
this connection the court declared un-
constitutional the Minnesota recipro.
cal demurrage law authorizing the re-
covery by shippers OF q dollar q day
for every day on which the railroad
failed to furnish q car for the re-
moval of freight.

establishment of farmers associations

sociatious among the consumers, is
ad oca by the secretary Of agricul.

The Intervention of two men between
producer and consumer is a common
occurrence. Fruits and vegetables are
often marketed through the aid of two
middlemen, the city commission dealer
and q retail merchant. A series of
three middlemen may include first. the
local buyer OF the shipper; second, the
dealer, or the wholesale
and third, the retail mer-

Merchants Give Honest WEIGHT

HELENA, Jan. ST. the mauufac.

as the Montana merchants the con.

state inspector of weights and meas.
ures.
1.-THE Montana merchant" snid Mr..
Corby, "is honest in his weights and

do him an injustice. In my official
capacity, l have visited many mer.
chants in the state and in but one In
stance did I find q set of scales that
was not fair to the customer where the
merchant did not correct IL. In this
case the man was 6ned. The best and
most expensive scales are used bv
Montana merchants, and where they
do not give the customer the exact
weight they give him q little the better

WILSON AND LINCOLN.

The continued gossip-possibly in
spired-about the entrance OF Colone

state, suggests that possibly Gov
Wilson has been considering the lif'

sure him = more satisfactory place in

Lincoln's chief opponent for the
nomin alton in 1860 was William H.
Seward, leader of the extreme aboii-
tion wing Of the party. He was q
radical, and extremely critical of Mr..
Lincoln's conserv atism and reluctance
to take radical steps. Seward and
the radicals of the party were for i'm.
mediate abolition, and threatened to
make endless trouble for the new ad-
ministration and the new party. Lin
coin solved the difficulty and CON
manded the support of the radicals by
inviting Seward into his cabinet. To-
stead Of q powerful and active critic
on the outside, he had an energetic
and earnest assistant on the inside.

those many wise and unselfsh acts
which testify to the greatness OF the
Preserver of the Union.
While Col. Brya an il not a Seward,
and while his various radicalisms are

slavery, nevertheless, Mr. Bryan as a
free lance would certainly put many

VIEWED WITH ALARM.

The rumor that the democratic mem.
bership of the Thirteenth legislative
assembly is not unanimous in a desire
to redeem its campaign pledges, is
viewed with alarm by q portion of the
Montana democratic press. 1t Ia not
the cause OF CONSERVATION, however,
among democratic pers that
regard political platform promises a.
merely a bait for suckers.
According to reports from Helena.
some OF the democratic members of the
legislature are cNa-Srd as platform
democrats, while Others are opposed
TO many of the reforms promised by
their party. Both branches of ii Q
assembly are under the complete con
troll OF democr attic mtmbers-lhey have
q clear majority over the political
opposition in the house aud senate-a
tuation that makes their party
responsible for failure 20 en- act any of
the reform Legislation that was prom
Used. The blame for any such failure
cannot be shifted to the minority.
The possibility tina. the anti, plat
form element among democratic law
makers may succeed in defeating legis.
lation promised by their party, has
suggested to several demOcr attic news
papers the propriety OF necessity of
reprinting the platform upon which
they were elected. The new democr attic
governor also In his first message to
the assembly, took occasion to remind
democratic lawmakers that they were
pledged to q certain program. This
Information probably was nee
ssry-.he snti-platform democrats
were wise to their platform promises
before they entered the legislative
halls-but q public ~nounceme of
what is expected OF them may possibly
have good effect.
A novel plan by which the anti plat.
form democrats In the Legislature may
be dragged into the party corral and
made to be good 10 proposed by the
Great Falls Tribune, an exponent OF
purity and honesty in democratic poll
tics, In these remarks:
III the Tribune may be permitted to
offer q suggestion to the house and
senate it would say that q new special
committee ought to be appointed 10
both branches Of the legislature, com.
posed of leading democrats, and called
the committee on redemption of plat.
form promises. II should be the duty
OF that committee to see that the bills
covering all the subjects OF Legislation
promised in the platform are not only
prepared but pushed through the
respective committees to which they
r referred and brought t q vote in
the Legislature. 1t will not profit US
much in the end to explain to the
voters that we intended to make good
u platform promises but the bill got
lost in the closing days of the session
through the fault of some committee
clerk or committee chairman"
