There have heen seveial recent ex- posures of grossly objectionable con- duct on the part of members of Con- gress who have habitually used their positions to advance private busines s enterprises in which they are pecuni- arily ihterested. When such conduct takes certain forms it comes in con- flict with the penal laws, and can be reached; but there are other forms just as dishonorable under which the law can be evaded. The orhy thorough- going remedy lies in the general puri- fication of politics and the enforce- ment by self-respecting members of Congress of the very strictest stand- ards of honor. In certain of our state legislatures there is undoubtedly a pro- digious amount of bribery and corrup- tion. At Washington, according to the best informed public opinion, there is comparatively_ little. Yet there are eertain indirect ways by which private interest gain the ascendency over men whose sworn duty . is to serve the public. These crooked Congressmen should be brought to justice. Politi , :s should not stand in the way of their getting what they deserve. It is not enou g h that after one of these corrupt public servants has been deteeted in his ras- cality he be relegated to private life at the end of his term of office; he should be sent to jail like any other criminal. The postoffice investigation has re- vealed the fact that certain Congress- men have profited through fat con- tracts with the department. Will they be punished? Very doubtful ! And the public will not feel shocked even if the guilty go unpunished. This is not partiularly a reform era; rather, it is a \get rich quick\ epoch, and the motto, \honesty is the hest policy\ is Pushed aside for \get money on the square if you can; but don't fail to get it.\ Peary's Dash for the Pole. Much of the comment based on the announcement that Robert Peal) , will make another dash for the North pole is orthe discouraging sort. If he suc- ceeds,, sajsahe Butte Inter -Mountain, those who now discredit ti4r'eraer- - prise will be first and 'loin:lest in ap- plause. Certainly n9 bettec man is known for the uudettaking. The ex- pense of the trip is paid from privtite capital. All that tbe government, ,has This isn't a \Little corner drug store:\ nor is it one of the \Little old fashioned drug stores.\ It is a lively, busy drug store, in which an attempt is made to make it complete in all of its departments. jt We have already made this store one which people in many parts of the county speak highly of. A trip to ,Lewistown is not complete unless you visit our store. We invite you to come here and Make all your drug store purchases. There is not another drug store in the state that can give you any better service t ha n ours. # . 4 DELZELL DRUG CO. The Leading Drug Store LEWISTOWN, MONTANA contributed is the official approval ex- pressed in the following letter to Mr. Peary from the acting secretary of the navy: \The attainment of the pole should he your main object. Nothing short will suffice. The discovery of the pole is all that remains to complete the map of the world. The map should be completed in our generation and by - our :ountlymen. If it is claiini-d that the enterprise is fraught with danger and privation, the answer is that geo- graphical discovety, in all ages has been purchased at the price of heroic courage and noble sacrifice. Our na- tural pride is involved in the under- taking and this department expects you will accomplish your purpose and bring further distinction to a service of illustrious traditions.\ It is better to have bet and lost on in St. Louis. Rents have advanced about 33 per cent. So it would ap- pear that the grafters are now practic ing, so they will be in thoroughly good trim for chargWvisitors when the fair actually opens. The people who will have to stay at home next year owing to a lack of ready cash to attend the show, will, after all, be in luck. Unless Congress hurries up and re- peals or amends the desert land act there will LK very little land left for the actual settler. The big land grabbers and their willing tools are busy mak- ing entries and \swearing\ for all there is in it. It is safe to say that not one desert land entry in five that has been made in the last ten years has gone to patent by complying with the spirit of the law. And the ,crooked work is going on now more vigorously than a ever before, for the reason the \grab - horse race, rather than not to have bet bers\ realize the time is brief when at all, such saindling can go on undetected. Some men are born with a thirst, some ,acquire a thirst, other realize how much they miss by not having one. A base ball umpire was last week run over by a street car in town. \Vengeance is mine, Lord.\ an Ohio saith the the \land grabbers\ in the west are robbing and jobbing more now than ever Sam had better call a everlastingly too late ! the government la fore. Uncle halt before it is The criminals of Butte must be hard up indeed when they murder- ously assault a man who refuses to give , up two -bits. But Butte takes the ex- treme in vice as well as virtue. To give a faint idea of its estimate of the man as a political leader, the Helena Independent prints the name of Tom Johnson of Ohio in lower-case type thusly: tomjohnson. My, wont the dish or crow be distasteful to the Independent if Tom Johnson should ' he nominated for the presidency by the Democracy next year. In antieation of the big fair next year priees.of all *kinds of commodities j have advanced from to to 25 per cent.
