PROTECT THE BEAR.

In the northwestern part of the
state, where the bears are thick,
there is some sentiment in favor of
their protection, according to state
ments made by George Fairway, a
resident of Kalispell.
Said Mr.. Fairway:
"The bears do little injury to wild
game. 1t is different with the noun
tain lions, which prey on deer and
destroy considerable number of
them. They ought to be extermi-
mated, but the bears live chiefly on
wild berries, insects and the like
during the summer and hibernate
in the winter. Now and then they
raid prospector or trapper's cabin,
but that is not very important"
determination Feared.
Not long ago State Forester j. G.
Van Hook sent out circulars all
over the state to sportsmen and
others advocating the protection of
the bears. From 100 to 200 brown
and black bears are killed annually
in Flathead and Lincoln counties
and Mr.. Fairway says if they are
not protected it will not be long till
they are exterminated.
The hides of such bears bring
from $40 to $40, and nearly all of
those killed are trapped that being
much easier than hunting them.
Most of the bears killed in the dis
trict named are trapped by home
steaders and farmers in the spring
when the fur is good.

meeting the incoming president was

acting on the suggestion of the new
president, he is moving in the mat

ESSENTIAL REPUBLICANISM

Addressing Young Mems Re-
publican club out west, ex-President
Taft has sought to formulate the
terms upon which Progressives may
reunite with the Republican party.
They will be welcome back, he says,
but there is no place in Republican
ism for some of the ideas which
they have held.
Mr.. Taft's intimation is that re-
turning Progressives are to be held
up on the dock, like returning tour
lists from Europe, while their bag
gage and their persons are searched
for struggled goods. We doubt if
this method proves popular.
Heretofore there has been no
running of the gauntlet, no security
of credentials for men who have
sought utilization with the Republi-
can party. Republicanism has been
inclusive in it's scope. The party has
been big enough to contain both Mr..
Taft and Senator LaFollette, for
example. There have been, and are,
certain essential principles on which
Republicanism is founded and to
which all Republicans adhere. Or
derby constitutional government,
protection through tariffs to Ameri-
can labor and capital, sturdy de-
tense OF American rights, an ade-
quate and satisfactory currency sys-
tem-these are the essentials of Re
publican faith since the days of FIRE.
mont. Whoever subscribes to these
declarations and who evidences his
faith by support of the Republican
ticket is Republican, nationally
speaking. These things will ge
found, not only in national Republi-
can platforms but in state Republi-
can platforms as we'll; while in the
latter will be many other things of
local application which in no wise
detract from the quality of national
Republicanism. For instance, a
Republican in Oregon will hold to
many principals-for Oregon
which a Republican in Rhode Is
land never has subscribed to. Yet
both are Republicans, as Mr.. Taft
will have to admit.
We do not believe in any other
test for Republicanism. Especially
we cannot admit the right of any
one man-president.e -pdesident or
any other man or any group of men
to say who shall enter or re-enter
the Republican party or upon what
terms. So far as we are concerned
any Progressive who wishes to Join
the Republican party can come in
without any indignity of being
frisked for concealed principles. Is
he protectionist? Does he believe
in strong foreign policy? Does he
favor an adequate national defense?
is he for legislative and administra-
tive sanity? The man who supports
these principles is a Republican by
all the tests which anyone has the
right to impose. In no other way
can Republicanism live and grow:
IN no other way has Republicanism
lived and grown. The doors of the
Republican party swing inward and
neither Mr.. Taft nor any other man
can close them or narrow the en-
trance. Those Progressives who
have already come in have been
warmly welcomed. A like welcome
awaits the others who are on the
Way.-Fergus County Argus.

As BUSHELS AT HINsDALE.

j. D. Kelly, who resides about
IL miles northeast of Hinsdale, was
in town and informed the writer
that he had just completed thresh-
ing his crop which yielded As bush
els to the acre and weighed sc
pounds to the bushel. Mr.. Kelly
was highly elated over his good for
tune and has every reason to be.
This yield was taken from a field
of fall blowing, and another piece
of spring blowing averaged only Is
bushels. This seems like very
strong argument for fall blowing.
