FOR A CLEAN ELECTION.

Shortly after the last August cleo
ton The Herald urged that an effort
be made in the future to purify our
elections in Maury county. 1t re-
iterates that advice now and insists
upon an election next month that
will be free from the corrupting in
fluence of money and liquor. In
August, if current reports are to be
believed and circumstantial evidence
is to be given any weight, there was
a perfect carnival of money and IL
quor in the election. 1t was not all
used by any faction or any particu-
lar candidate. The pot must not
call the kettle black. Our friends we
believe, were just as ready to resort
to these Questionable methods as
were our enemies. In the past money
has been freely used in Maury coun-
ty. 1t was used in abundance two
years ago. Both factions used it, if
one to greater extent that the other,
it was because it had the sinews Of
war in greater abundance.
The Herald has no disposition
whatever to punish those who have
used money. 1t has been an alto
gether too common practice, but we
do believe that the time has come
in Maury county when debauchery
of the ballot box should end. We
believe that the day should dawn in
this fair land when our elections
should be free from the corrupting
influence of money. Men ought no
longer to be bought like sheep in
Maury county elections. The laws
against the debauchery of the bal
lot box, against the use of money in
elections except for purely legitim-
ate purposes, are just as much the
laws do VI IHS iouu INC law
against taking human life of selling
bootleg liquor. The great fight for
law enforcement should begin at the
ballot box by holding an election
free from corruption or fraud. We
are terribly shocked over what some
machine or political boss may do in
our city elections but we are alto
gether too much in the habit of
''winking the other eye" even if we
do not openly contribute to and en-
courage the same methods right at
home. SO far as The Herald Is con-
cerned it expects to condemn at
home the same questionable election
methods that it rebukes in the cities.
Like charity the hight for reform
should commence at our own doors.

If you expect to buy a grain drill, you
will make a mistake if you don't
investigate the Superior
before buying. 1t is unquestionably
the only drill that sows accurately all
kinds of grain and grass seed. Any
drill will SOW wheat.

THE INDEPENDENTS.

The convention of Independent
democrats here on Saturday demon
strates that so far as the majority of
that faction is concerned, efforts to
reunite the democratic party in this
county are premature, to say the
least. 1t looks like the disinterested
and patriotic effort of The Herald to
bring about peace and concord among
the people of Maury county is going
to be just about as successful as the
efforts of President Wilson have
been to bring about mediation be-
tween, the warning nations Of Europe.
Both The Herald and our splendid
President have the satisfaction OF
knowing that they have been engaged
! in a worthy cause
1t was unquestionably mistake
when the regular democrats, social
ed drew the lines so tightly when
they made their nominations for repre-
sentatives. We have yet to hear any
criticism of the private lives or moral
standing of the two gentlemen nomi-
mated, but their nomination from a
political standpoint has not proven
winning card in the effort to har
monize the people of Maury county.
The regulars will probably answer
and say that what overtures they did
make to the other faction were re-
jected with scern and in support OF
this point to the nomination of a
candidate against Senator Church, al
! though less than six months ago the
! independents of the county had cor
daily endorses his record in the leg
islature. 1t may be that sufficient
time has not elapsed since the bitter
| fractional struggles of the past to hope
for a cessation of warfare. This is
to be regretted, but The Herald
makes every effort to look facts in
the face. and with malice toward none
to state the whole truth.
The independent convention was
made up very largely of high class,
patriotic men. A large majority of
the men in Saturdays convention are
splendid citizens They are earnest
and sincere. They firmly believe that
the salvation of this state depends
alone upon the political success Of
Gov. Hooper, and believing that, they
have the courage to stand by their
convictions. We do not altogether
agree with them. We think that !
many of them have been controlled
too much by passion and prejudice.
However, that may be said of any |
crowd. We firmly believe that prob
ably nine-tenths of the American peo-
pie, without regard to faction or par
ty, are controlled largely byN preju |
dice. But for the great majority of !
the members of Saturdays body The
Herald has the highest respect They
are acting from the highest motives.
We have long ago gotten away from
the idea that our crowd, or those
who agree with us in all things, alone
are right. No faction or political
party ever had or has now a
monopoly of all the virtues
There are good men and bad men in
all crowds.
1t is our judgment that both fac
tons in Maury county have made
mistakes this year. But we can con-
graduate all on the high class NOM
nations that have been made. And
we sincerely trust that the campaign
will be as free as possible from bit
terness, mud singing or acrimony.

Good Gets Five Years

Helena, July 6.-Judge J. Miller this
afternoon sentenced Mark Good to
five years at hard labor in the state
~penitentiary. Good pleaded guilty
last week to thirteen informatiOns
each charging forgery, and while the
sentence imposed today means five
years, he has served his time, and
paid the penalty on each count.
The %forgeries committed were in
connection with the embezzlement OF
funds from the state board of stock
commissioners.
Just before sentence was prOnOunc-
ed Special Prosecutor George E. Hurd
made a brief statement of the facts
in which he said that had the case
gone to trial the evidence would have
disclosed that at least $4,000 passed
through Goods hands, and that Good
himself put an endorsement on at
least twenty checks. He said it would
have been the contention of the state
that Good received half of the money
Mr.. Hurd said he did not wish to sug
gest what the punishment should be
but would leave that matter entirely
to the court. He declared. however
that there had been no promises
made, and that Good had pleaded
guilty without any promises from any
one connected with the prosecution
directly or indirectly.

Blain County Court House

The dedication of the Blaine county
court house was the principal feature
of the Fourth of July celebration at
Chinook. 1t was a happy idea to hold
the exercises on that date-a day Of
recreation and enjoyment for nearly
every resident Of northern Montana
and tae dedication was attended by
the biggest crowd of visitors in the
history Of the town.
Tie exercises consisted of an ele.
quent Grafton by Hon. George Bangs,
OF Grand Forks, n. Oak, who referred
to the new institution as a temple of
justice in which, the rights of the
people would lie maintained and their
interests protected. Mayor N. T.
Lease. Of Great Falls. who built the
structure, followed with a brief and
aprl eciative address in which he de.
livered the keys Of the building to the
officials and citizens of Blaine county
The property was accepted on behalf
of it's owners by Judge Utter, and a
few closing remarks by H. F. Brooks,
who presided over the exercises, con.
c,udcd the dedication program.
The new court house is a credit to
Blaine county. 1t is a handsome
building of gray brick faced with terra
Gotta, and is absolutely fre-proOf. The
material used in it's construction is
cement, brick. stone and metal, the
doors and windows being the only
woodwork visible in the building. The
possibility of damage by fire is so re-
mote that it would not seem necessary
to place insurance upon the building,
The offices are conveniently arrang'
ed for the transaction of public bust
ness, and it is expected they will be
occupied by the respective officials
the early part of August. A new de-
parture that will be appreciated by
Blaine county citizens is the reserva'
ton of a large room in the court house
for the use of the public as an accom-
mediation or rest room. while they are
at the county seat. 1t will have com
Portable furnishings, and will be sup
piled with stationery and other facil.
tiles that will be appreciated by Wis.
itors. 1t is an excellent idea, and one
that should be adopted in other cOun.
ties.
The Blaine county court house and
Jail with necessary furnishings and
equipment will cost about $40. 900, and
comparison with similar investments
in other parts of Montana will show
that good value is being received by
the owners of the property.

man was seen floating down the Mis-.

aboard a Great Northern freight train.
The brakeman wired the agent at
Craig and the latter notified some Of
the citizens in that vicinity. The body
was taken from the water seven miles
below Craig. The presumption is
that the dead man is the victim Of
robbery and murder at the hands Of
tramps whom he met along the line
of the railroad.

Henningsen Land company had Will
liam Swayze arrested on a charge Of
horse stealing, a jury in the district

leaped to the belt. threw his back
against it and pushed it off the wheel

his injuries was found to be a broken
