Mitchell, candidate for’ congress on the Democratic ticket, is held by the people in his home city of Great Falls, and with what favorable regard his business friends and intimate acquaintances view him, the editorial recently printed by The Great Falls Daily Tribune is both interesting and illuminating. The article comes from the pen of William M. Bole, editor of The Tribune and one of the best known of Montana democrats.- Itis-as. follows: Harry B.. Mitchell, the candidate from the eastern side of the state, is by no means a new or unknown, mamdu^eithen.eastern .or western Montana,though' he cannot claim*'so wide a personal'ac quaintanceship as his. colleague from the west side. But he has liver in Montana for more than a quarter of a century, and during all that time he has been-acquiring-knowledge o£ the.state, its public affairs and its public needs. This newspaper is in a peculiarly advantageous position to speak with authority and full knowledge of the man through its intimate association with Mr. Mitchell during a large part of his residence in Montana. It is with no formal or sterotypec phrases that we would speak of him and his character to our read ers W e would wish, if we could, to impress on all of the the sin cerity of our conviction and-the absolute confidence we have in the truth of our words, and their freedom from exaggeration or hot air, when we make the simple assertion that in our humble judg ment the democrats of Montana never presented to the voters of the state a man better qualified by intellectual equipment, integrity of character, or knowledge of the. science of government, to represent them in the .lower house of congress than Harry B. Mitchell. W e could fill up a column in descriptive phrases and superlative ad jectives about his qualities of mind and heart, his education in the schools and in the broader school of experience, but what is the use. It would not make our statement regarding him any stronger. Besides no man, we believe, whether in his own or in opposition par ties, will dispute his claim to ethe respect of his fellow citizens in every relation in life. He has esablished that'character in business and social life during a quarter of a century of walking a straight path before his fellow citizens. During all that time Mr. Mitchell has been a member of organized labor, holding an active card in the Great Falls Typographical Union, but he has been opposed to ex ploiting that fact as giving him any claim on labor votes- He has had no sympathy with the class of politicians who seek to turn their connection with organized labor to their personal profit, and our statement in this respect is made without his knowledge, and pos sibly without hiLapprovaJ. We make it, however, as a-side light on his charatcer and temperaament. On personal-grounds or_on fitness his character and temperament. On personal grounds or^an fitness will make ho mistake in voting for Harry B. Mitchell for congress. By Otto H.

Otto H. tlon’s leading banker, fnT'dli^up^p publicity from the standpoint- of-**i’ financier, said: “One of the characteristics ~ o'f'/fin ance heretofore has been th e c u i t ’ of silence, some of Its rites have;‘ been almost those of an occult science; To meet attacks with dignified silence, to maintain an austere demeanor;, to cultivate an etiquette of reticence, has been one of Its traditions. iug could have been more calculated to Irritate democracy, which ¿lisiUtes and suspects secrecy and - - resents aloofness.

It Is for those occupying such places to show cause why they should be considered Tit persons to be entrusted with them, the test be ing not merely ability, but just as much, If not more, character, self- restraint, fair-ruindedness and' due sense of duty towards \the public. Finance, instead of avoiding public ity in all of its aspects, should wel come it and seek It. Publicity w W t hurt Its dignify. A dignity which can be preserved only by seclusion, which cannot hold Its own in the market place, Is neither merited nor worth having. “We must more and more get out of. the seclusiotf of our offices, out Into the rough and tumble of-democ- racy, out— to get to know the people and get known by them. Not to know one unother means but too frequently to misunderstand one another, and there Is no more fruitful source of trouble than to misunderstand' one another's kind and ways and mo tives.\ 5 W ith the temperature almost at freezing point, this vicinity ex perienced the unusual occurrence of an electric storm this week.

This town has evidently had a quickening of its moral and financial conscience, for it has inaugurated a new week on its city calendar, and their example might well be followed to advantage by many another town. The name of this town is Rock Hill,_S. C., and their special week is dedicated to the paying~of debts.

Wjckertham. - _Jt. would_b.e...a.goocL_tbJng_if our legislative bodies, not excluding the Congress of the United States, would give themselves a long rest from the business of framing multitudinous •new statutes, with which to clutter their own records and the law libra rles of the world. They could profit ably devote a term of years to ana lyzing existing laws, simplifying, standardizing and modernizing those which are essential to good govern ment, and ruthlessly repealing those which we could* do without. The sweet reasonableness which they would acquire from this task might convince them that problems of such Importance as to require brand new legislation are comparatively rare in the life of a State. There Is a fight ahead for any set of reformers who may try to indulge in a real breath ing spell. For as Associate Justice Hughes, formerly of thS Supreme Court, pointed out, in a recent ad dress to the State Bar Association of New York, there Is a tendency In all Democracies to Indulge in exces sive legislation. The latter appears to be an expression of the power of Democracy. It is useless to cavil at It. But the energy and independ-- ent thinking that it represents may be directed Into new channels and -lm tlme lt may\seemTmore' adm 1 rable t<r the citizens to have codified a group of laws than to have added lavishly to their number, with the sole re sult of rendering them chaotic and difficult to pnfnrpo. _________________ -Already more attention Is being paid In Congress and In the Legisla ture of the State of New York to the' science of the formulation o f laws.1 There Is a realization thut clear,! intelligible English' must be used, that other statutes on the same sub-. Ject mustT Be~ examined, In order~to' learn whether the »new bill will link up with existing legislation. New( York State employs a bill-drafting expert at Albany. At Columbia Uni versity there Is a bill-drafting de partment, and other educational in-, stltutlons are beginning to study the subject It is well that we have these signs of progress, to encourage u f. For, .thfere have.been examples, in the past dot only of,frivolous lawm'skIHf; but of statutes fraihed for dishoodst tnq- tttfca ahd expressed la such uiahneF that they would hie difficult or im possible, to enforce.
