DESERVES NO CREDIT.
The Anaconda Standard of last Sun
day. in a cold-blooded and practical
editorial, points out that the ministers
and newspapers who have been thank
ing Governor Smith for vetoing the
Tierney gambling bill, are putting his
excellency and the legislature in a
false light. The Standard points out
that the governor did not veto the bill
on any moral grounds; that he did so
solely because the bill provided no rev
enue for the state; that if an extra ses
sion of the legislature were to be
called, he'would recommend the pass
age of a high-license gambling bill.
The people will be willing to take
the Standard's word for it. Governor
Smith received the support of that
newspaper, is a thorough demo-pop and
the Standard no doubt has authority to
speak for him. Besides, the democrats
have seldom made a record in favor of
morality, and it is therefore easy to be
lieve that some other motive prompted
Governor Smith to veto the gambling
bill. He is no dount fully as bad as
bhe legislature itself.
Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago
Pribune, who died at San Antonio,
Pexas, last Thursday, was one of the
great newspaper men of the world.
Ris paper has always been a power in
the republican party, one of the news
lest journals published and is a valuable
property. Besides being a great jour
ialist, Mr. Medill was one of the
founders of the republican party and
mnjoyed a high place in its councils.
le met death calmly, being conscious
ip to the last moment, and his last
words uttered, "what is the news?"
bhow the strong journalistic character
stics of the great editor who. we fear,
will never be perfectly happy in the
inknown future unless his strong news
paper instincts can be in some manner
gratified.
Sunday's Anaconda Standard prints a
six-column "History of the Crime of
W. A. Clark," which proves to be a
resume of the senatorial fight. The
article makes direct charges of bribery
against certain well-known legislators
and others, and the Standard clearly
lays itself liable to be sued for libel,
but no suits will be brought. The ar
tiole, however, is a good one to pre
serve; it will be such fine evidence in
future campaigns of democratic bribery
and corruption.
The ratio makes no difference, ac
cording to the Anaconda Standard, yet
that newspaper is standing squarely on
the Chicago platform in the Butte
municipal contest, 16 to 1 and all.
But Butte bids fair to repudiate free
coinage at the April election, and then,
indeed, the ratio will cut no ice. Per
haps this explains our contemporary's
apparent inconsistency.
James Brown, editor of the Butte
Times, has been indicted by the United
States grand jury for sending obscene
literature through the mails. This is
the outcome of aul article published last
fall in relation to W. A. Clark, the
newly elected United States senator
from Montana.
An American soldier deserting to the
ranks of the Filipinos is something new,
but the traitor received quick and just
retribution by being plugged with bul
lets from the guns of his* former asso
ciates, while leading a Filipino on
slaught as a lieutenant against the
Americans.
Governor Smith apparently has de
cided that the state revenue is sufficient
and that he need not call an extra ses
sion of the legislature. A wise decision,
sure.
The story of the Philippine outbreak
and subsequent fighting has been
covered by cable. The American, a
daily paper published at Manila, says
ex-Corporal John W. Hays of. Company
D, First California, a traitor and de
serter, has found his just' end. His
body now lies in a " trench dug to bury
the enemies of his country who fell in
battle, with no slab at his grave, his
name forever hated by his own regi
ment. Hays came with his regiment
to Manila. Last October he married a
J' ipino and two days later deserted
in-surgent line. This was the

The musical department met with
.Miss Denham on Friday last. Members
responded to roll call by quotations
from musical composers. Instrumental
duetts were played by Mrs. Free and
Miss Talbot and Misses Denham and
Talbot. A song was sung by Mrs.
Barstow, after which. papers were read
on the life of Haydn by Miss Denham
and on Schubert by Mrs. Free. The
meeting adjourned to meet again on
the 24th with Miss Denham.
The literary department is meeting
this afternoon with Mrs. J. B. Herford.
The meeting of the united mothers
and domestic science departments of
the Womans' club was held at the home
of Mrs. C. F. Burton last Thursday
afternoon. Mrs. Fre. read a very prac
tical paper on "The Air We Breathe."
Mrs. Holmes presented a useful paper
on "How to Clothe Our Children."
Mrs. Burton read an article on "'Drqss
of Infants;" Mrs. J. J. McCormick an
article on "Baby Bonnets." The next
meeting will be at Mrs. E. S. Holmes'
March 28.
A MUSICAL CONBINATION
'Will Be Secured for an Early Date at
the Opera House.
Manager Babcock of the Billings
opera house is striving to secure for an
appearance in this city a musical com
bination that it will indeed be a treat
to hear. It is the Max Bendix com
pany, comprising Bendix, the great
American violinist who was for ten
years. concert-meister of Theodore
Thomas' celebrated orchestra, Miss
Jenny Osborne, soloist, of Chicago,
who ranks second to Melba, and Miss
.Jeanne Scott, the accomplished pianist.
The only way in which to secure this
trio is through a guarantee and if one
hundred names can be secured an ap
pearance of these celebraties is assured
for the night of March 28. The re
quisite number has nearly been se
cured already.
