If Boss Barnes wins that $50,000 libel suit against Teddy Roosevelt, will- George W. Perkins have to 'foot the bill? Crown Muggsy McGraw as the big optimist. The dispatches say that his team has signed up new and \un- breakable\ contracts. The Madisonian is somewhat -dis- appointed in the new bull moose daily at Livingston, 'which seems to be lacking in political pep. A new $150,000 power, building is one of the signs of prosperity in Bil- lings, and yet The Gazette insists upon praying for calamity. All factions in Mexico are working for harmony. Which '.oes not leave the president's watchful waiting pol- icy so much discredited, after all. . The-.Madissasisa--cannats ss,eewhy anyone should find fault with ebarlie Pray for refusing to become a re- pub.ican candidate for congress this yew.. With a bumper crop this year and good ore being taken from old and new mines, Madison county wouldn't know calamity if she met it on the Those of us whose wives are away this summer ca. appreciate in a measure just how homesick for Mon- tana those senators and representa- tives must be. The republicatr - Toarty--ef---Madisert- county is supposed to hold its nose and swallow the nauseous dose fixed ' up for it by the Virginia City gang and its Sheridan annex. • COY War threatens Europe, and a gen- eral strike of men on all the railroads -west Of Chicago is not impossible. It would be difficult to decide which dis- aster would prove the greater. And then this raw between the suf- fragettes and the antis may not prove to be the smallest sideshow of the big political circus. That is, if the anti -suffrage women are. game. When it comes to speed the historic tortoise would beat old man Carranza fifty feet in going one city block. And as to deliberation, he even has .aur..own national senate outclassed. A Miles City man gets six months in jail for beating a mule. Wouldn't -ilk have been -more historic, if not - poetic justice, to „tie him -within kick- ing distance of the outraged animal? CO A bull moose paper takes almost two columns to tell \What Roosevelt Stands For.\ Most folks could boil it down to a line or two, something like this: \Roosevelt always stands for Roosevelt.\ A state daily says that there will be a \hot gasoline war by big monop- oly'.\ Surely, hot gasoline might ,cause some excitement if promiscu- tautly used either by a private individ- ual or a trust. English statesmen have the home rule question on their hands, and are t,rying to find an answer to the old. problem of what happens when an immovable object is me* by an ir- reela4ible force. The bull moosers should hang on to their organization, unless they want to be fed humble pie from the standpat hand. The surest way to make the grand old party tired is to keep it - out of office. Nine candidates are out for rail- way commissioner in the statewide primaries, more than for any other office. That must be a snap which enterprising politicians will investi- gate more fully in the future. 00 ' • When ha - Wiifitrtrl!rrother Browne of The Sheridan Forum can pull off a rich brand of humor. Last week he suggested a certain young Virginia City lawyer as republican nominee for district judge. Har! Har! Har! A bunch of 100 steers, shipped from Biliings to Omaha last week, hronght the fine price of $7.80 per cwt. This denied democratic administration a's- solutely refuses to pull off a panic Viat would hurt the Montana fernier., 00 The Madisonian hopes that the bull moosers will give up the idea of nam- ing a county ticket, and come right up to the scratch as full fledged dem- ocrats. If you are really progres. sive, boys, that's where you belong. A youthful bandit shot up a New Haven express train in New York City last week. We of the effete west will become afraid to cross the Mississippi if -they don't quit pulling off such stunts in the wild and wooly east. , If the bull mooserii Firra trcliertri the field in Madison county, it will poll a great many votes. But if no such ticket is named, mark the pre- diction that most of the progressives will quietly . vote for the democratic county .nominees. — The Virginia City -Sheridan repub- licssasanststers are the busiest little bunch in seven stales, - and have - al- ready made up their program and their little slate of favorites. But where are they going to get the votes to \pqt it across?\ Unless the county division law is -iss-eemasasta.stsby... the legislature within two years Montana bids fair to have more counties than little old New York. Several new projects are under way, and dozens of them are a-bornin'. The story of \Chronicles print- ed in The Sheridan Forum last week is so rich that The Madisonian uses it in this issue. It surely hit the bull-eye—and some other eyes. A - nd more is promised, but you needn't shoot at us, brother! CX) For political purposes it is often claimed by misguided -republicans that their party has changed its Old and corrupt methods in recent years. But in the nation, in the state and in the county—the bosseS\ are mighty and their will prevails. For comedy and drama and trag- edy, oftentimes all in one day, the newspaper reader should follow the atorrof the Caillaux We often find fault with our own courts, but may rejoice that they are far different in procedure from those of France. . 00 A party of Bozeman, fishermen re- turned home last week and gave the Madison river a black 'eye because they were unsuccessful. Evidently, they. don't know a fishing rod trom a mazuzum, for last Sunday a, six -year. old Jeffers kiddie caught an even dozen grayling in about an hour. op Former Boss Croker, is said to be coming back to give battle to Boss Murphy for the control of Tammany Hall.

Doctor Lanstrum's political side, kick couldn't make it for the house two years ago, and there is less rea- son to believe that he will be elected to the senate this fall—not in good old Madison county. In Mark Hanna's day, and the re- publican party hasn't changed much' since his time, he preached to -every mother's son of his organization, \Let well enough alone,\ and nvide them believe it. Why isn't that good doctrine now for republicans? , Secretary of State Bryan can af- ford to smile at his defamers, who told how he was bungling things in war -torn Haiti. And now the dis- patches state that everything tends to peace there within a few days. Fate simply refuses to let go hands with the -democratic party. —00 , Montana consumers should demand butter made in the Montana creamer ies. Ton after ton of butter is ship- ped into this -- state from the east, while home creameries find no mar- ket for their products to speak of and must send their surplus to Chi- est . m_Ask for. byttek- knitsle_la m tle Pony creamery. Aaron Burr seems to have been the original corporation lawyer. His rival, Alexander Hamilton, controll- ed all the New York City banks and kept Burr from starting a rival in- stitution for several years. Final- ly, Burr organized a water company, and drew the charter so skillfully that it permitted banking as well. Wouldn't that make. Big Business of today grin? es • Joe Dixon's newspapers want to \reward\ Associate Justice Holloway for voting to uphold the initiative and referendum, by re-election this fall. We presume that the associate justice simply did his duty as he saw it, and that if he is due to any ens- ticular . recognition for voting with his associates he has been amply re- warded in the past—by twelve years on the Montana supreme bench. The Dixon theory of rewarding with an- other term every judge each time he did right would keep most of them • affisa-far,...litessolit.0...it-th2Y-... lived Methusaleh. Joe is playing politics—that's all. While Montana merchants are ship- ping in butter from the east, the creameries of this state are seeking entrance to Chicago markets for their surplus product, says The Billings Journal. -The local production does not equal the demand and it would still be necessary to import some butter even if the entire output, of home creameries were consumed in the state. There is no claim that the eastern made butter is of higher qual- ity and - c - eitainly it does not retail .at a lower price than is charged for the Montana product. The direct result of this absurd mismanagement of marketing oppor- tunities is a -reduction in the price which creameries pay. to farmers for their butter . fat, the . difference amounting in most cases to as much as five cents a pound. This is - oc- casioned by the fact that the cream- eries are compelled to stand the ex - tense of freight and commissions on their shipments to Points outside hf the state in order to dispose of a pro- duct which should be consumed at home. The seriousness of this situation is emphasized by State Dairy Comini sioner Sholes, who reports that \be. sides nufnerons local freight ship- ments that have been sent out of the tat, en - June 20- a-varlet:id of 39,. 110 pounds cf butter was sent to the Chicago market from a number .1 . Montana creameries. The first week \in July another ea'rfOad was ready f.)1. shipment, and no doubt before tho flush season is past - several cars wilt follow.\ In the meantime, Montana mer- chants are receiving weekly Consign- ments of butter from other itates. This condition is so radically Trivire and, apparently, so uncalled fer, that immediate steps towards more sensi- ble marketing arrangements should be taken.. As.,A preliminary, it is suggested that consumers call for Montana bates when making their purchases and that merchants disiP1a7 more loyalty, to the theory _of, home trading, of which they are p,rofSiltsea s supporters. Perhaps an investigatioh will disclose. that Montana Mesta, potatoes and other products a.re struggling under similar handicap's. I Fine pieture program at the *col - toe= tomorrow Right.

Shoal these settlers give up in advance of the time when they might look for results, the fact would deter others from coming to the farming regions of the northwest. Another problem which confronts us is the development of Montana as a whole, and every sensible person knows that you cannot develop com- monwealths any more than you can develop anything else, always sav- ing and excepting the development Of grouches, without capital. ICIOntana has - marvelous resources which are far from being developed, agriCultu- ral resources above those of any that can be found elsewhere in the United States; Mining resources which re- quire - only the Investment of the propqr amount of money to make, thase..al. exceptional _richness; man u. facturing resources Which require only for the investment of the pro. per amount of money to make them of exceptional richness; manufactur- ing resources which require only the magic touch of money to make them additions to our wealth, and that great resource, community building, Which cannot progress without the aid of capital. Unless we can enlist the services of the capitalist our pro- gress in development will necessar- ily be slow, and it It obvious that ca- lamity howling as an aid to the en- couragement of investments is not very potent. There may be something in the ca- lamity howl that helps a political party, but there is nothing in it that helps a community or a state, in get- ting its lands settled, its railroads constructed, its mines developed or its towns built up, and Montanans should teach the politicians a lesson of se conducting their business,- for it is a business, that communities and states must not be harmed in order .to further the political fortunes 'of sap -mare-nr. Ael.at have done this, then no mofe will the voice of the calamity howler he heard in the land. One of the new and distinctively novel features of'\The Fair that Ed- ucates\ will be the state spelling bee that been inaugurated this year In the educational department of the Montana state fair. In ,this ,, unique contest any pupil in the state, wheth- er attending at a one -room country school house, or in the best grades] city school, will stand an equal chance to become the champion speller. The county champions will first be deter, mined by the county superintendents, and will later compete at the fair. An amount of $80 will go to the var- ious winners, with a sum of $20 to the champion of Montana. Spelling books should be a popular diversion for the children during vacation as attempts will probably be made to brush up on spelling for the state fair contest. Besides the opportunity of compet- ing in the educational phases, the boys and girls will have many other chances at the premiums of the fah-. F. S. Lusk of Missoula has inaugu- rated a pig contest in which he offers prizes of $100 to the boys and girls who raise the best pigs in Montana. The state fair has joined in this movement by adding an extra $100 making a total of $200 in the Boys' and glee - Pig contat. --- lrelfides thew donations, are the premiums Offered by the Folger Spice company of San Francisco, and awards given by,liar- ry Childs of the Yellowstone Parin hotels, and the usual medals . in the regular boys', and girls' corn and pos• tato growing, and corset cover sews ing contests, all of which are outs lined in the.1914 premium catalogue; copies of which have been sent broadj cast over the state.
