JOSSiA'JSUSS Special rates by contract. was in tbs hands of a Receiver. In 1903 the public mind was prepared for the Decennial panic, and tens of thousands of thrifty men all over ths country were surprised that it did not come. Wail street expected it and did the usual thing to bring it about, and with marked suc cess in so far as the street was concerned As the world was awakened to the re? sources and power of our Nation by the Spanfsh American war, let us hope that Wall street, by reeent events, has been made aware at tbs fact, that tho country at lasthas taken its measure, and cor rsctly estimates' its pbwgr for good\ or evil. The tail has wagged the dog long enough. This is an age of progress. Colombia went against the spirit of the age. Col umbia ia sorry for it.

Bat the Columbian will not attempt to conceal its disappointment at the omission of the following paragraphs, which it has bad in type for several days. •- “ Conditions in Silver Bow county b**ebecome intolerable. The people of tfMkbOdhty have shown themselves to be incapable j?f • local self government. They have elected and sustain in office certain judges of the* local court, who are persona non grata to a certain foreign corporation which waa organized for the purpose of monoplizing the busineas of irfisiBg and marketing copper. •' These judges have been hard hearted? dea(rand blind t^all overtures and en treaties made'to them by the corporation to enter its service, and have refused to accept its money for special services de sired by it. . j They even went so far as to inform the pfiMic and to prove conclusively that certain prominent agents and attorneys bad tried to bribe them, and by so doing have greatly impaired the efficiency and Bkefulness of the corporation’s said agents and attorneys in its service. «. At the Regular 8ession, you were re- q&fested by the agents and attorneys of the corporation to dispose of one of these judges by impeachment, for cer tain moral lapses, but you seemed to think it would be a dangerous precedent to establish and dropped tbs matter, i The New York msuagers of this cor- R a tion now hjslieve, that they have guilt a grip on tfeV industries of the state hay* so many of the newspapAfe, lawyers and politicians in their serviee, that in epite of public Opinion to the contrary, in spite of an honest capable judiciary, they can bring such pressure to bear up on me as to make us see the .wisdom of so changing the laws of the state, that t*ie*corporatlon may attain it* «jd$ with out further hjiftirtlce upon ‘ the judiciary. - ri& ttbat the pressure and the respon sibilities of the hour were to heavy for me to bear alooe and so convened yon in extraordinary session. I have felt it my duty to duly caution you as to the dljBeait,- delicate and dangerous'char acter of l£e work expected at yotfr hands. I again admopish you to be careful, for it ia my ppinfon that the managers of the corporation in New York have been mia-informed by their agents in Mon- at the helm,” and I know something of history.

Come on Grafter*, of high and low de- •ee, we are goin&to assault the temple _OfXiberty, and we need you one and all from, the beetle browed thug to, the 'pol ished editor, lawyer and politician. The only difference^between you is in the de gree o f your inteligeoce, and in our eer-. vice there are many stations. You know, Gents, that the 'develop ment of that beneficent in.stituiionknown as the Standard Oil Co., by a *erv wipe and good man, has been e.,m p ^ d with the developement ‘ of the American Beauty Rose, and that the Intter could . not possibly have beep developed ex&sp^ by the sacrifice of m»BV other tads o)- ; equal premise. So with the Amalgama ted, the legitimate og-spnng of the Standard Oil, there is^Snly room for one such Company on this Earth, and that it may develop like Its parent, such vigorous buds as Helnzb must be sacri ficed. ^ Come MTGents,' there i» work\ and boodle for all. i .

Ifideed- some sharp reflections aro made o s the honesty of the average voter of Montana. Or. the principle that honest confession is good for the sonl” let ns get alone in privacy of self and try in an unbiased way to “ see oar- selves as others see us.” The political history of Montana for the last fifteen -years has certainly invited criticism. There are a number of dark colored spots from the time of Tom Carter’s first elec tion to the last arrogant demand of the amalgamated Copper Company that hon est Montanians wonld give much to ob literate from the pages of our history bnt they are powerless to do so. They are also powerless to remedy the evil of the growing power of a Giant octopus until the people make up their mind they will have no more of it until their own inter est iaatronger than any temptations that may be offered. And until the people do awaken to the uecesity o f aueh action things will go from bad to worse. It is certainly a bitter pill for honest afootan- tans to swallow fsr the Standard Oil Company to state publicly that they are forcing us “ to think through oar stom achs,” and, to be honest with ourselves, we must confess that it is true, of course 'feopied undoubtedly with a gold tonic tor many. But with all our political ills are indeed aisk in more wavs than one it is extremely unjust to cast the asper sions which many eastern papers are do ing for the reason that wealthy and aF fluant eastern states where the Standard .Oil company has taken the strongest kind of root has been openly dified as witness the efforts of attorney Gen. Monnette, of Ohio, where the Standard Oil Co., when ordered to bring their books into court, deliberately burned ft has nut reached ths.t point yet in Montana but we are makiDg splendid lime. I do not beleive there Is any desire the part of the people to do any injustice to the Standard Oil Co. or any other concern doing bnsines's'in Montana but we all feel convinced that they do not feel that way toward us. Of o are judging by tbe past. It is confidently beleived that if the Amalgamated Comp any after forcing an extraordinary ses sion of the law making bodies succeeds in having such laws passed as will meet their wishes, in two years Rockfeller, Rogers and Lawson will bavo a very valuable asset in the shape of two United States Senators and as at present, one v g T h isX stands for X m a s and means- d w fiitN H SnytJer & Co. have the largest arid best and nicest stock of Chsistmaa and holiday goods ever exhibited at Columbia Falls, Montana r w r e o m r co g r e o g m - c o Complete Dry Goods' Department ’Complete Furniture department plete Hardware Department ’Complete Grocery Department ’Complete Clothing Department COLUMBIA FALLS representative. Rather valuable assets, In Pennkylvainla the coal trust has lor years openly rode right over the conet*- 1 tution of that state with more contempt than a Montana lawyer wonld. show for of a ilrunken juetfee of the peace. We have not got that far in Montana vet bnt for a lusty youth we ate doing well hat are the legislators going To do fn the face of the tremendous pres sure brought to bear. The governor did all he could do and at least forced tbe giant to resume work before he would call the legielature together. It is now up to them and 70.00&’ voters’ are hatching to see what they will do'. In t time tbe supreme court has taken under advisement the appeal from J udge Clanrv’s Court of the McGinn Isa Boston and Montana cases. The cru cial contest is on. If tlie amalgamated wins we will then be no worse than either Ohio, Pennsylvania, and many other eastern state. ’ Of conrife misery loves company and we have it. - We are all waiting to sing “ What Will the Harrest Be?” W atchman * The legislators woold surelv lie very unkind if they do not hire the sta'e iperintendent a lady clerk. They should stiputate that the clerk most lie1 a lady. Since the governor has seen fit to leave everything to the legislature it will become essential inr the legislature to leave everything to Genernor T-eedv. There is no noticeable change ’ except for the better since daily trains are fun- to Wbiteflsh. The Columbian ean plainly;foresee the reason why John Pace left Columbia Falls.
