It is also more expedient for society at large. It is a false and degrading view of brotherhood which "proposes to sacrifice the efficiency of the strong to the inefficiency of the weak.

What, Shall Society Do? How then shall democratic society corn-template these new and formidable industrial and social commotions? Calmly and courageously, as witnessing a world-wide conflict in which certain democratic qualities of ancient date and greatly needed, ind are to be ultimately manifested. These qualities are an abiding confidence in freedom, publicity, discussion and fair play, a love of vigor and efficiency, a firm faith that free institutions will prove to be also fundamentally righteous, and consequently conducive in the highest degree to public welfare and happiness, Amid these combinations and masses what can the individual do, the man of free spirit who is willing to pay today's price for freedom? You and I and everybody must in the first place, believe, and must teach our children to believe, that brave men are not mere creatures of circumstances, slaves of blind forces, or tools of destiny, but are capable of moulding circumstances, directing forces, and changing destiny. And then each one of us must fight evil and promote good by his own personal endeavor and sacrifice. The force of society, hich seems so strong, often turns out to be weak when confronted by men who believe with all their hearts in pure ideals of freedom and of righteousness. Averting Suspicions.

Dramatic music has crept into the choir loft of the Beecher Memorial church in Herkimer street, Brooklyn, and harmony has flown through the stained glass windows. Many of the brothers and sisters have gone out to seek church homes elsewhere and the former happy choir of fifteen has dwindled to four. There are a few left in the church who would prefer the old-fashioned singing to the dramatic trills of the painter and decorator and his family.

"Brother Haslam's new-fangled music," said one of the older deacons of Herkimer street last night, "reminds me of Bill and the belaying pin. Didn't you ever hear that story? Why, Bill and Jethro were a couple of Cape Cod sailors. said Jethro, 'what is an 'Why, said Jethro, 'I'm surprised at your ignorance. I'll tell you what an anthem is. Now if I should ask you to hand me that belaying pin, sensible like, as if I really wanted the belaying pin in a hurry, that wouldn't be an anthem at all.

But if I should say it like this sing-songy it would be an anthem O-o-o-o, B-i-i-il! Oh, Kill, Obill, O.bill, II-a-a-a-nd mc Oh, me, oh, me, oh, me! Oh, hand me!

You notice how I kind of growled out that last pin. a little lower than the rest just as if it wasn me singing at all, but somebody else on 'tother side of that p'int of land. That's the way you must always wind up an anthem so you'll know when you're "Now I suppose that is what is meant by this dramatic singing we're going to have in the Beecher Memorial out on Herkimer street." SAY MORELLO CAN SHOW HE IS NOT GUILTY The case of Giovanni Morello, the Italian who formerly lived in Butte, and who was.

arrested at New York two days ago, upon his arrival from and charged with having false naturalization papers, has been put in the hands of the Italian consul at New York by the Butte friends of Morello. James Baldisero, one of the jailers at the county jail, who has been interested in the case, has received a telegram from Morello saying that the latter will write particulars of his case. The friends of Morello at Butte say that (Morello has his papers, and that it will devolve upon the authorities at New York to disprove their genuineness, and to prove that they were obtained by fraud. They also say that Morello is entitled to the papers. INTER MOUNTAIN'S W.

Hickey, better known as "Captain" Hickey, one of the best-known and popular of the miners of this section, who died, February 14, will be buried tomorrow afternoon. The funeral will be held from the undertaking rooms of Sherman Reed at 2 o'clock, and services will be conducted at the Sacred Heart church at 2:30. Interment will be at the Catholic cemetery.

The funeral will be under the auspice3 of the miners' union, of which the deceased was a member. Too Much Executive Legislation. Washington Post. The habit of executive legislation has been increasing in many states for a long time. What we mean by that term is executive control of legislative action.

In many state capitals it has come to be the normal course of procedure for the governor to take charge of the business for the transaction of which the legislature exists. Is it not a reckless wasta of money to maintain a senate and house of representatives under such conditions? Why not amend state constitutions so as to do away with these cumbrous and costly bodies and require the governor to make and mend laws directly, instead of making and mending by legislative control? New York is the state in which this method of legislation is carried to the greatest extent and in that great commonwealth it is apparently regarded as quite, the proper thing. f. j.

Eliot of Harvard university delivered an ititercbting address Sunday afternoon in Faueuil hall td the representatives of Boston's organized labor. He frankly discussed the problem of labor organization.

The concluding part of this address follows: "Democratic society believes fundamentally in seeking the greatest good of the greatest number and in seeking this greatest good through freedom, order, justice and good During the first half of the nineteenth century it believed that the greatest good of the greatest number, was consistent with the greatest good and largest freedom of the individual. During the last half of the century it seems to have experienced some revulsions of. feel- ing with regard to personal liberty. It has seemed willing to sacrifice the welfare of the individual to the supposed welfare of the mass, to abridge the liberty of the individual for. the supposed collective benefit of his class.

"The labor unions and the employers' associations both illustrate this tendency. They are both fighting organizations; and all lighting abridges individual liberty indeed, puts an end to it for the time being. Armies and navies are not concerned with personal liberty, but with implicit ob'edi-ence and the complete subordination of the individual to the efficiency-of the organization to which he belongs. "In the same way labor unions and employers' associations, so far as they are fighting bodies, abridge personal liberty; and so far forth they are in conflict with democratic ideal. Thev are also in conflict with the democratic ideal when they, destroy re? competition.

In this, respect one kind of association is just as-bad as. the other. monopoly has always been, an object of. detestation in democracies, and such.it ought always to remain; for competition is the native air of human progress and improvement. "How else can the new and better thing get a chance to demonstrate its superiority to the established but inferior thing? How else can rising genius win its way against intrenched dullness? How else can new inventions in industry or trade demonstrate their superiority? The rising-generation should be free to compete with the generation in possession.

The young journeyman should be free to compete with the old one, and surpass him if he can. The department store should be free to prove that it serves the community bct; ter than a large number of separate, stores. A young department store should', be free to prove itself better than the older ones. Competition in industries, trades and the professions provides the indis- pensable opportunity for progress. It is; the friend and servant of liberty, and this is the reason why democracy has always feared and protested against monopoly.

No Caste. "Again, democracy believes to its very, core in the modern mobility of industrial and commercial society, that mobility or. fluidity which permits the capable and promising individual to rise through its various layers. It believes with all its might that every young American of remarkable capacity should find it easy to rise through all t.ie grades of his trade -till he becomes himself an employer and leader. It believes with all its soul that every child should be able to get the best education it is capable of receiving, and that society suffers a grave injury if the upward prog-, ress of a promising child is checked oc prevented.

"Democratic society, therefore, sees with great concern, that in the joint agreementsi now made between labor unions and eni-p'oyers' associations there are many provisions which tend to make rigid and high, the barriers between the common laborer, the helper, the journeyman, the and the capitalist, and the fences between one trade and another. It sees with alarm these great combinations of men acting on principles which tend strongly to divide American society into classes, and to per petuate those classes.1 "Moreover, since the fundamental object of the labor union or the employers' ciatlon is always the pecuniary benefit it its class, these organizations are providing democratic society with exhibitions 'of class'selfishness, which, in other countries, society and government have seen manifested by classes quite different from these great combinations of men acting by nobility, priesthoods and soldieries. "The world has had bitter experience of the evils resulting from the slass selfish1- ncss of these aristocratic, ecclesiastical and military combinations and democracy does well to distrust the new developments of class selfishness, different though the-classes be that now manifest this quality. i. Let Every Man Do His Best.

c. "Again, a bold, alert and vigorous c-. mocracy will always believe in every man's doing his best and being free to do his best, whatever his station or function in society. Real democracy thinks of an operative or a mechanic who does not do his best at his trade with the same contempt it would feel toward a fireman who did not work his hardest at a fire, or a nurse who took care of a patient nearly as well as she could, or a surgeon who cut out a tumor with a slow, languid inexact hand, or a teacher who regulated his own work for his pupils by the accomplishment of the slow and dull teacher in the next room, or the dairyman who kept his milk and cream only as clean as his dirty neighbor's or the steersman who kept his vessel somewhere near her course when the only safety lay in keeping her on her course. Democracy knows that the main object of being free is precisely the freedom to do one's best and win one's best, today, tomorrow, at home, abroad, at work, at alone, in society, in labor and in Democracy knows that the only way (tc) do better tomorrow is to do one's best toT day and that doing better and being better should be the fundamental object of everv free man's life.

That way lies increasing usefulness and happiness as life goes on. That way lies public prosperity and happiness. Therefore democracy must profoundly distrust the labor union's too frequent effort to restrict the efficiency and the output of the individual workman; but its objection is not economic but moral. It objects to this method of rotting the individual man's moral fibre. But ho-about the feeble or slow brother who can? not keep up with the strong, alert brother in the craft? Shall not the strong man help the weak? Yes, by doing- the wefk or bearing the burden of.

the weak in, ad-" dition to his own, but never by voluntarily imparing his own force of body and will. We are told to bear one another's burdens, but to make every man's burden no heavier than the weakest can bear. The brothers In one family are seldom equal in. bodily strength or force of character; but a wise and loving parent never wishes to average the brothers. To increase, the superiority of tliej superior 'ia more im PEACE IN SECURITY Congrcssmrin Fitzgerald, representing some part of New York city at Washington this year as lie did at the Kansas City convention in 1900, opposes appropriations for betterment of the American navy.

His given reason is not to promote economy of government or because the navy is great enough to prove efficient for probable demands. It is because Mr, Fitzgerald believes there ''is a growing feel in; of unrest in this country" due in his imagination to the fear that the president of the United States is an unsafe man and liable to involve us in war with some other nation. Therefore, Mr. Fitzgerald believes it would be the part of wisdom to make the president "feel that the sentiment of the country is for peace." And this particular congressman would accomplish this emotional result in the president by halting the established policy of gradual strengthening of the nation's war equipment for ocean conflict. It is reasonably fair to assume that the president is quite as familiar with the sentiment of the American people as this representative in congress for a part of the department of Brooklyn.

Upon notable occasions he publicly has given recognition to the peace sentiment, and has indicated his personal share in it. While the idea was not original with President Jie differed Congressman Fitz- gerald's notion by entertaining the belief that the best security for peace to a nation is furnished in ability to avoid defeat in war. He quoted the old German proverb, possibly because he was addressing an audience of conservative, peace-loving German-American citizens: "Speak soft, but carry a big stick." However, if the people residing around New York harbor can afford to be represented in congress by able gentlemen who are so fond of peace that they would dismantle the American navy, the citizens of the western interior of the country can struggle, along and sleep well o' nights without fear of either a foreign foe or of President Roosevelt. FOR WILLIE AND FRITZ The Billings Times, which fairly may be presumed to draw its inspiration as well as its sustenance from the Heinze resources, comes to the support of the national democracy with the suggestion that the ticket shall be the' Hon. William R.

Hearst for president and Fritz A. Heinze for vice president. Why not? Hearst and Heinze There's "all of apt alliteration's artful aid," with opportunities for the political gratters at both ends. Willie and Fritz Wouldn't the children cry for that? Platform Fakes and Freebootir.g, without the aid or consent -of any other nation. The New York American would be the national official organ, and not a thieving trust in the country could survive the competition.

The fact that Fritz lias quit the democracy and started a party of his own would prove no obstacle to the plan." He could transfer his party to the Hypocka Mining company, and MacGinniss could get an injunction from one of the United Court and Copper company judges restraining its members from working anything excepting the Willie and Fritz lead. The Inter Mountain is confident that every republican paper in the country will be in favor of the nomination by the democracy of The Billings Times ticket. The Japs will be wise, however, to reserve their best laugh for the last. Dollar wheat and still the farmers talk about organizing a grain trust to advance' prices. We fear the gentle agriculturist is not exclusively a philanthropist.

The Hearst boom appears to be attracting most attention from those democrats who have bricks to throw. Eventually the "Voice of the People" kept in exercise by Fritz Heinze in Anaconda will become best known by its hiccough. It is just as clearly a violation of law to hang a criminal in the presence of a mob as by a mob in the state of Montana. The special announcing the probability that Germany and France may unite in support of Russia doubtless was received via the City of Mexico. It is due Senator Smoot to recognize the fact that he has not yet appealed to the judgment of his countrymen with a technicality.

This old-fashioned winter in the East ought to solidify the force of Judge Parker's presidential candidacy. We are grieved to notice that Ileinze's Reveille is again engaged in suppressing the most important news about Heinze. Korea simply 'hopes that the combatants will permit her to maintain an open back door while the performance is going on. It is believed that the San Domingo revolutionists consent to revolve away from the vicinity of Uncle Sam's interests without the formality of stopping to back up. That New York banquet to advertise Judge Parker's candidacy failed of its purposes because the.

participants got filled up before the ices were reached. Good Fortune. Philadelphia Tress. Mr. Backlotz (enviously) She lias the greatest luck in selecting servant girls.

SHERIFF QUINN'S OPPORTUNITY It has been the custom in this state as in some others to make the execution of a death judgment the occasion for something of the character of an exhibition for morbidly curious persons.

In making arrange-ments to continue that custom in Butte next week, it is apparent that the sheriff's office gave better attention to precedent and the requests of individuals than to the provisions of the law enacted to govern such proceedings. It is made clear by the statute that there should not be more than a score of witnesses to the imposing of the extreme penalty for a crime against a convicted offender. No intelligent person will oppose the gcu-eral belief that a public hanging would have a degrading and brutalizing influence upon the crowd which naturally would be gathered to witness it. Public policy as expressed by the specific language of the law is against it. Disregard of that law is an offense against the state.

Disregard of any law by an officer of the law is wholly without excuse. It is his particular business to know the law and to enforce it. Sheriff Quinn has the opportunity before him to earn the hearty approval of the people of the state by conspicuous respect for a too long ignored and wholesome law. It is his high privilege, as well as his plain duty, to relieve capital punishment in Silver Bow county of features which belong to vaudeville performances. PROSPECTS FOR MANY WARS Bred by the war in the far east, talk is quarrels that may develop into actual hos- in me nt ler nnwers is ron snn.nrenr rp- cmire reiteration.

It is equally true, how-. ever, that statesmanship may prevent these disagreements and threats" being settled by appeal to arms. But the situation of ine society 01 nations never nas oeen more delicate, the possibilities of a world's war never in the last half century so great as in all these quarrels and rumors of quarrels the United States is least affected of all. In the Balkans war seems inevitable. Indications are that the porte will seize the moment of Russia's preoccupation in the far east to settle his differences in the so-called buffer states and seek to bring them under his rule.

The rebels in his border provinces, no doubt aided and assisted from across the line, are up in greater force than ever and Turkish troops are beir.g massed for their suppression. A little more and we shall see those same troops in Bulgaria, and in sending them there the porte will, have a good excuse to present to Russia and Austria for his actions. Nevertheless, those powers may be drawn into the conflict. That intense anxiety reigns in military and state circles in both Germany and France, arising out of the Russo-Japanese war, is very apparent from dispatches from Berlin and Paris. Both of these nations have large interests in China that are inimical to those of Japan, and not much provocation would be required to have them join with the Russians in the war on the mikado.

Equally delicate is the position of Great Britain with regard to her ally, Japan. Should either Germany or France cast her lot with Russia, Great Britain cannot easily avoid with Japan. Then there is the question of the Indian frontier. Great Britain has taken ad vantage of tills propitious time to begin the movement for the annexation of Thibet, a Chinese dependency, to India, while Russia, France and Germany see in the move a menace to their Oriental interests. Russia long has claimed a lien on Thibet, and at any other time the pressure of the English into Thibet would be found by the czar's ministers cause for the opening of hostilities with King Edward's realm.

Further English aggression in Thibet and it seems certain that the next few months will witness such aggression can scarcely avoid resulting in an armed conflict with Russia, and perhaps with France and Germany. There are minor wars, also, to occupy the attention of the international politicians. Germany has a bloody little fight on with natives in German Southwest Africa 'for one. The present rebellion in that ever-rebelling black republic of San Domingo grows more sensational day by day. So reckless have the rebels become that they have destroyed American interests, fired on American seamen, killed one, and generally have courted a sound spanking at the hands of Uncle Sam.

It may be necessary for the United States to administer this punishment, but that will lardly be of sufficient moment in the HOW TO START A NEWSPAPER Promise of Accession to United Court and Copper Company's Press. Dupuyer Acantha. The Rounder is thinking seriously of quitting his foolishness and getting down to business. This is the chance of a life time and if he does not take advantage of it he might as well go off and take a bath and end his career- Fortune raps once at every man's door and unless 'he is around the" corner getting a drink he may let' her in. This the Rounder proposes to do.

He is going to be a newspaper man not a hired flunky who has to write whatever the head push thinks will boost him up the ladder of fame of wealth, but the sole proprietor, who can strut around with a high flat and gold headed cane, dirty shirt and shiney coat sleeves, laying down the law to the common herd, telling them everything they know or don't know. The getting of a newspaper is so easy this year that any one so inclined may have one. The Rounder is simply going to send a collect telegram to F. A. Heinze ordering a plant to be forthwith delivered at Robare, freight prepaid.

A fellow may as well have one before they are all gone. When he gets this plant he will set it up in Charles Thomas' root cellar and begin business. The first throw out of the box he will jump astride of and utterly annihilate the Amalgamated Copper company. Then he will proceed to appoint a new judiciary for Montana with Judges Harney and Clancy as king His national policy will be governed by circumstances. If the republicans want his support they must send a delegation from the national convention to the aforesaid root cellar with a good supply of the stuff that makes the mare go.

If the -democrats want him Billy Hearst must come himself in his automo bile and pass his card down through the air hole of the -sanctum and then he may be granted a cdiifereitce. THE WAR AGAINST" BOODLING England's Experience in Discouraging Bribery an Example for American Cities. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The battle" ia- against bribery will go on in spite of the temporary triumph or immunity of those who engage in if: Honest prosecutors can simply do their best, leaving the final result to wholesome public opinion.

Stamping out an evil may be slow work, but as long as a majority of -a free people are upright and courageous, he final result can not be in doubt. Constitutional government far older than any form' of it in the United States has put down bribery with a firm hand. Bribery ran riot in the British parliament in the eighteenth century. British statutes touching the crime were passed in 1729, 1809, 1842 and 1854. The British corrupt practices act of 1S83 is stringent and effective.

Bribery nullifies an election in England, and those guilty of it may be punished by imprisonment or fine, with disfranchisement from voting or holding office. Once bribery was considered "merely a conventional offense" in England, as it is by its defenders in Missouri, but it is seldom resorted to now in Great Britain. The I bunish ment prescribed is severe. More than that, the penalties are enforced. British boodlers are not allowed to go free and give champagne banquets to their boodling associates.

They do not venture to denounce witnesses for the state as "snitches." Bribery has been put down in Great Britain by the penitentiary remedy. It could be banished from Missouri under the laws that already exist in this state by the execution of jury sentences. Slavery was not uprooted at one stroke. Public corruption is not an evil that can be tolerated in any civilized country, nor can those who profit by it count on perpetual indulgence. Boodledom- in Missouri is not stronger than the people, who make and unmake their representatives.
