/ It is not often that an Arkansas governor passes on to his second term without having to go before the people to give an account of his stewardship. So far as appearances go Governor McRae has not consider ed his opposition seriously enough to take notice. The state papers have been silent on the proposition as if nothing was happening in state po-
 litical way. We have heard Judge Toney, who at present seems to De III a very quiet way covering the state and making his campaign. He raises some questions, several in fact, which if presented widely to the public, are calculated to rouse the governor from his auiescent attitude and send nm out over the state defending his ad- min1stration before the people. You never can tell what the hot July sun may bring forth in the way of politics. Since these questions are raised the curiousity of the voters may reach a point where they would like to hear the other side and then weigh the evil dence. Silence is sometimes taken as an evidence of consent to the cor rectness of the facts. We still have open minds, and are still waiting TOT the long silence to be broken. We have had so many state campaigns of the lurid kind that We don't feel right without some fireworks to go with the celebration.

Yany Schemes Used to Get Widows
 insurance Money.

St. Louis, Mo, June 21.-St. Louis ans contributed $15,000,000 to $25,000 900 to bogus stock salesmen in the last three years, according to E, J Bremen manager of the St. Louis Better Business Bureau, who describ- ed schemes to defraud widows of in- surance money.
 Brennan's estimate of the amount lost in worthless stock schemes in cluded all such transactions and nos only those in which insurance was lost "The contributors are not only the widows and people without proper advice, but some of the biggest men of the city have suffered" he said
 "Of all the descendants of Walling- ford those most to be feared are of the special stakes" he added. Some of these made a speciality of people who suddenly come into relatively large sums of money"

Strikers ambushed in a clump Of trees. opened fire on the truck. Three of the operatives were wounded.

WAKING UP TO THE DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP

When prominent and successful business men voluntarily sac
rifice their own interests to enter the race for election to the state
legislature it is a pretty clear sign that they are Weakening to the
need of real citizenship. That two men of the calbre attained III
this county by Sam Stephenson and \. I. Lease have expressed
their Willingness to serve the people of the county in the rather
unpopular office of legislator is a good sign, and furnishes a pre-
cedent that might be profitably followed by citizens of other coun-
ties to the great advantage of the state at large. There are also
other citizens of this county that might well copy their example
While we appreciate the fact that Mr.. Lease and Mr.. Stephenson
are republicans, we are free to say that men of their standing and
ability, regardless OF party affiliations, would be well worthy OF
The chief cause of the troubles into which the state of Montana
has fallen politically is that the average citizen has been toe busy
with his own affairs to give any time to those of a public nature.
1t 5 no new thing to any of us that too many small cahbered men
have been elected to make our laws, and that they have certainly
been busy along that line. What we need now is legislators big
enough and strong enough to unmake a few hundred laws which
clutter our statutes, and which are incapable of enforcement or
else serve varied interests alone. The next legislature could spend
its whole time profitably in repeating and modifying laws that are
needless, unavoidable and costly to the taxpayers.
1t is a well known fact that in the matter of salary our leg
islators are not well paid, in fact, no one can serve in that body
and get out even. 1t is purely an honorary job and means a loss
to any moderately successful business man. In reality it is a job
for men of affairs who can afford to devote a part at least, of their.
time to the welfare of their state and it is fortunate indeed for
this county that Mr.. Stephenson and Mr.. Lease have come to a
realization of their duty along this line.
1t is estimated that the strikes now in force are costing at the.
rate of $~15,000,000 a day. We doubt if they are worth the money
