MORNING, JAN. 81, 1917.
NORTHWESTERN TRUSTEE CASE.

When United States Attorney Wheeler first
brought to the attention Of the grand jury. the mat
ters surrounding the shady Transitions Of the North
western Trustee company case. in face Of the oppo-
sition from powerful financial and political interests
in the state. The Muscular took occasion to COM
mend him for doing an unpleasant duty.
Strong pressure was brough. to bear both at Hell
ena and at Washington to prevent action in the case
Prominent Democratic officials made hurried trips
10 Washington. in the hope Of smohering the
whole matter, while influential political associates
and Others. here at home urged the Importance Of
using the soft pedal.
1t was simply REPETITION Of the old story Of trying
to dissuade public official from doing his full duty,
on account Of involving personal and political friends
Under.this kind Of importantly. it may not some
times be easy matter for an official to pursue the
straight and narrow path Of duty as may appear to
those not charged with responsibility.
For some reason or other, the ugly affairs of the
Northwestern Trustee company were not given the
prominent place in some Of the newspapers of the
state. as the circumstances might seem to have war
ranted.
But the district attorney went ahead and did his
duty he saw it. In the face of determined oppo-
son. that ramified into various parts Of the state,
he secured the conviction of two Of the chief con-
spirators.
Yesterday they were sentenced to a term in the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth While the
heavy hand Of justice may not have fallen upon all
of the guilty parties in the case, the district attor-
ney has the satisfaction of seeing his position taken
last spring now fully justified in the final outcome of
the case.
AT the conclusion, as at the beginning Of the mat
ter this newspaper again wishes to commend the
district attorney for having the moral courage to do
an unpleasant duty, despite the powerful political,
financial and social pressure brought to bear upon
him to do otherwise.

THOSE WATER POWER BILLS.

A few mornings since, the Helena independent
took it upon itself to severely criticize The Mssou
Ian for talking about the facts involved in the Shields
and the Myers water power bills. both of which
are now pedding before the conference committees
of the two house Of congress
Fortunately The Muscular knew exactly what
it was talking about. 1t seems that our esteemed
contemporary did not.
This week, Gibson Gardner. the chief cores
pondent Of the United Press at Washington, sent
out to all the newspapers taking the N. E. A. serv-
ice Of that great agency his unbiased analysis
of the true intent of both the Shields and the Myers
water power bills

strong and confident.
peculiar misunderstanding has arisen as to
President Wilson's attitude toward the bill. After
conferences with the president, Representatives
Kent. Ferris and Rainey gave out interviews
announcing that the president opposed to
the Shields bill. Then there were conferences
between the president and Senators Bankhead
and Shields and both these gentlemen gave out
interviews saying that the president was ia
vorable to the Shields bill it stands. Sena-
tor Myers has announced also. on the floor Of
the senate that the president approves the
Myers bill, which is one of the power grabs
The correspondents were somewhat puzzled
and were more when President Wilson called
in the Washington Times man and 'bawled
him out" He charged the Times man, who
had printed the Kent statement, with misrep-
rescnting the facts and told him he ought to
stop throwing a monkey wrench into the ma

satisfy everybody, but which he is not ready
just yet to expose to "pitilcss publicity" In

What a War Correspondent Thinks.


On che evening of January H.,
9I7, George F. Kavanaugh, war'cor-
respondent for the Chicago Tribune,
gave a very interesting talk at the
Y. MICA. building.
Mr.. Kavanaugh has travelled ex-
tensively and it is his business to
keep an eye out for facts and figures.
have made it a point to use some
of his figures, and he would not dare
express himself the way he does If
he did not know what he was talk
ing about. He arrived on the border
shortly after the raid on Columbus,
N. NJ, by Pancho Villa, and has been
associating with United States SOL
diers a part of the time since his ar
rival on the border. He spent con-
siderable time with General Pershing
near Parral, Mexico, and found to his
entire satisfaction that an unfortu-
nate move was made when Pershing
was ordered into the republic.
Pershing's army of $4,000 men
was stationed at a point where lin
convenience" was the main feature.
Every afternoon men who were COM
PEELED to be out of doors, We're forced
to wear heavy coats, caps and gOg-
giles to keep them from suffering in
tensely from the sand storms that
were daily occurrences. They lived
in dobe houses or huts, and about the
only thing they lived for was the
pleasure they expected when they got
back to Gods country" All along
the border were regular and militia
units stationed, and they were
guarding wells, windmills, ranches,
etc.
''And the queer part of it," OBJ
served Mr.. Kavanaugh, lis that 80
per cent of the ranchers do not want
Uncle Sans assistance in caring for
their property
Then he went on to explain why
one rancher in particular did not
need the assistance of Uncle Sam.
He drove to, the ranch, found the
owner, and the following dialogue
took place:
Got quite a ranch here" quoth
Mr.. Kavanaugh.
.'Jist fair" answered the rancher.
"How many acres?"
"Only eight sections, sah."
How many cattle have yOu?" Z
Sixteen hundred here and bout
