"A peaceful Sunday thus does Butte
describe that placid day, of dynamite
and rioting, of mob
BUTTE rule and affray. Ten
PEACE thousand miners merely
swept away all forms
OF law: they only laid the town out
cold with wallops on the jaw. Then,
"Quiet Reisns." the Miner says, to
still the Anxious Reader. IF any
thing more peaceful than is common
reads the leader Why Sunday
wasn't anything to have a fit about.
The mob just held the sheriff up and
turned his captives out 1t merely
stole a fire truck and bade the chief
stay home, unless ne wished his en-
gines raised and cracked across his
dome. The only incidents that broke
the sleepy sabbath peace were dyna-
miting. riots, thefts and overwhelmed
police. And quiet Reigns," the
Miner says. Strange things have
taken place in Butte this week, but
that brief squibs the joke that beats
the ace.
Were the recall of the judiciary a pos
sibility in Montana. Judge George
Bourquin of the United
iMPOlITE States district court
JUSTICE would be in danger of
losing his official head.
Judge Bourquin is an admirable ju-
rist. BY his fairness he has won the
admiration of the whole state, vet If
they might nearly thousand Missoula
men would sign a petition for his re-
call today. From Judge Bourquin's
court has come a subpoena which robs
the E,lls minstrel show of that peer
less end man, William G. Ferguson.
The United States tribunal has COM
mitted the unforgiVable sin of set
ting the trial of Walter Conway, an
alleged good roads advocate accused
of swindlng. on the day of the sec
ond performance of the Elks' min
strels. Mr.. Ferguson was one of the
victims of the supposed sWindle and
the court demanded his presence in
Helena on Tuesday, June 16. Judge
Bourquin is an Elk. but all of the
pleadings of his Missoula brothers
moved him not Ferguson must go.
Were it not for the fact that Tom
Wilburn, that king of the blackface
t''os7N, iNlti iiSu w AlloSohli oSN Ci tii
days ago. the show might not have
endured the blow from the judiciary.
But Wilburn will bat for Ferguson to-
night and the performance will go on.
The first sweet peas of the season
We're brought to the Man About Town
yesterday by Mrs.
SWEET George Bishop. Al
PEAS WAYS beautiful these
first blossoms seem to
be a little finer than those which
come later. These are the real breath
Of early summer and are fitting COM
panions for the beautiful sunshine of
yesterday. With the sweet peas were
some old-fashioned pinks-the old
"clove" pinks of Grandmother's gar
den. Their fragrance makes the air
of the musty newspaper rooms heavy,
as these lines are written. The lit
tie bouquet frightened a whole day.
Frank Jones has good letter from
Johnnie NORM, who is now in con-
gress as q progressive
FROM Representative from
JOHN PENNSYLVANIA. John has
been through the first
primary of his state and won renomi-
nation handsomely. He is now get
ting ready for the election campaign
as much as he can while in Washing
ton, and is anxious for adjournment to
come, in order that he may get back

Montana with Evans and Stout every
day. thet forget the troubles of con-
gressional life when they get to-
gether on this theme. NORM sends
his remembrance wishes to all his old
Missoula friends, as usual heading
the list with Hughey Campbell 1t is

with this latest one. There is no
doubt that NORM will get the unani-
nous vote of this county Democrat
