Justice of Supreme Court HENRY C. SMITH of Lewis and Clark County Republican Legislative Ticket or Representatives— MOSES ROOT JOHN WENDEL E. D. WEED DR. C. B. MILLER LEON SHAW DR. G. H. BARBOUR J. H. FARMER The narrow, bigoted, and tight- easted candidate is doomed to feat. Some of the candidates for local places evidently seek an election in the still hunt racket; but when you hear from the people it may not be unlike a thousand of brick building through a tin roof. The nearest you can get to vot- ing for Roosevelt this Fall is to be for the Hon. Chas. N Pray and the Republican nominees for the Legislature. We have an riding faith that there will be no cillating or hesitation along these lines. in no uncertain strain this journal will advocate the election of a Republican Representative in congress, Republican Nominees the Legislature, and a Republian for the Supreme Court. For local positions in the County looks as though it will be a question of the survival of the test. On local issues this day at time where there is no vital inciple at stake, and where the people have the opportunity of keeping the minutest tabs on all priests for political honors they not as a rule hew to party lines, if the hustler and broad-gauged is oftener, and justly so, the inner The State Fair a Grand Success The Annual Fair which was held this city last week was a grand success from every point of view, and the management of the same is to be congratulated on the successful outcome. From the exhibits in the horticultural, agricultural, poultry, swine, sheep, horses, cattle to the races everything is par excellence, and we can qualify from experience that the present Fair had many of the older more populous Eastern exhibitions and the race meet beat a councublock. With the patronage and continuance of the present management the Annual Fair of Lewis and Clarke County promises assume more than local or State portions. The Fair is over, but gambling goes on. Who is getting the issue? With the voters of Lewis and Clarke County empanelled as a jury we confidently expect that on November 6th they will render the following verdict: We do upon our oaths find that Leon LaCroix, erstwhile County Attorney of Lewis and Clarke County, has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Skidoo! The candidacy of Judge H. C. Smith for Justice of the Supreme Court of Montana commends itself to every man who knows him or who has heard of him. He is a man whom the humblest can reach, and who has at all times held the scales of justice on an even balance; if tilt it they would, it was always on the side of mercy. While he is a staunch Republican, he has the respect and confidence of all the people regardless of political application, and we predict for him at the polls in November a record-breaking majority. The Plaindealer Will Continue to Bore In We most assuredly pray for the election of PRAY. A Fleeting Dream Speaking editorially of LaCroix's record as County Attorney, this week the Independent says the "efficient prosecutor." etc. Now that is the limit on humor, and really a fleeting dream. We doubt if there was ever a County Attorney in the County whose record for efficiency has not excelled La Croix's. Plain cases of murder have resulted in acquittals or the minimum degree. Parties guilty of felonies have been permitted to plead to misdemeanor. In desperation it is said he has used the power of his official position to harass and persecute both respectable and friendless citizens. Efficient is he? When the County Commissioners, whose legal advisor he is, having no faith in his opinions from a legal standpoint, employ other attorneys to hold up the legal end of the County! We shall publish a summary of his record for the last two years, and we will leave it for the voters to judge as to his efficiency. It seems as tho' the only excuse for gambling which is still going on (and no one knows who is getting the money for protection) is the political exigencies of the occasion. LaCroix's abiity (although he has the power) is too limited to successfully cope with the attorneys for the gamblers. The Independent says editorially that the disgraceful fact that gambling is wide open in Helena is knoeding insistently at the door of Mayor Lindsay. Does it wholly overlook the door of Leon LaCroix, the only legally constituted prosecuting officer of the County; or does it, knowing the uselessness of knocking there, devote itself exclusively to the door of the mayor? Other officials do not care a rap, and it is the same old story, official direliction of sworn duty, a measly County Attorney bidding for votes; and NERO STILL FIDDLES, WHILE ROME BURNS. Our Duty in Montana The plain duty of every citizen of Montana at the coming election is to stand for those principles which have brought this mighty march of progress and prosperity, and they can only do so by supporting for Congress the Republican nominee for Congress, the Hon. Chas. N. Pray; and no matter what the environments as to local conditions may be in whatever locality you may reside it is equally if not more important that their support should be given to the Republican nominees for the Legislature, as the coming Legislature is to select a United States Senator, and it is very essential that he should be a Republican. As long as Hoke Smith, Vardaman, and Tillman are the prophets of Democracy the duty of the colored citizen is plain. Now what was the result to the taxpayers of this County of the refusal of the Board of County Commissioners to be guided by the opinion of LaCroix in this particular matter? Merely this: Under the old law it cost the County of Lewis and Clark an average of $23.10 per person to transport those committed from this County to the Insane Asylum and an average of $116.40 per person to transport those sent to the Reform School; under the new law it has cost this County an average of $12.00 per person to the Insane Asylum, while a total of five persons have been transported to the Reform School without any expense whatever to the County, a clear saving of $11.10 per person on those sent to the Asylum, and $116.40 per person on those sent to the Reform School. Since the new law went into operation 21 persons have been sent from this County to the Insane Asylum, and five persons to the Reform School; consequently there has been saved to the taxpayers of Lewis and Clark County a total of $815.10 by the disregard of the opinion of LaCroix by the Board of County Commissioners regarding this particular law. The State of Montana pays for the transportation of prisoners to the Penitentiary, and it has saved on that item from this county alone since the new law went into effect by governing itself by the opinion of the Attorney General rather than that of LaCroix, the sum of $62.65, and undoubtedly a total of many thousands of dollars on the transportation of prisoners from the various other counties of the State. These are facts and figures, not figments of the fancy. They are taken from the records. There would seem to be but one of two conclusions to be drawn therefrom: either LaCroix is surprisingly ignorant of the law, or wholly disregardful of the interests of those whose votes elevated him to office. He may accept with as much complacency as may be, either horn of the dilemma. The stubborn fact is such a public servant should not be continued in office. Whatever may be our attitude in regard to local candidates we must not for one moment confound Legislative candidates as local; it is just as important that we support the Republican candidates for the House of Representatives as to vote for a Republican Congressman. In all localities look well that the Republican candidates for the Legislature get your undivided support. The Republican County Central Committee opened the local campaign Tuesday evening at East Helena in a blaze of glory. The candidates were all out, and the Odd Fellows' Hall was filled to hear the speakers of the evening. A. P. Heywood, the next County Attorney of Lewis and Clark County, Edward Horskey and Hon. E. D. Weed made stirring addresses which were greeted throughout with the heartiest of applause. T. W. Richardson, the Republican nominee for County Commissioners, is one of the leading business men of East Helena and will no doubt receive a hearty support from all classes regardless of political alignment. The people of Lewis and Clark County it seems demand a change in the political makeup of the Commissioners, and are pleased that a successful business man such as Mr. Richardson, has demonstrated himself to be is before them for that position. He is making a splendid campaign, and will be elected beyond peradventure. The County Commissioner for the two years' term, J. H. Carmichael of Augusta, who is a successful ranchman and sheep raiser, is the Republican nominee. Mr. Carmichael has been a resident of Montana for 20 years and has been successful as a business man, having never entered the political arena, and the people are highly favored in having such men who will sacrifice their time in managing their public affairs. Mr. Carmichael is a genial and pleasant gentleman to meet, and will receive a strong support all along the line. Alderman Wendell who has worked so assiduously for better and cheap water for Helena was rewarded by a unanimous vote, accepting the report of the Committee of which he chairman. Himself and fellow members of the committee cannot be given too much credit for a successful solu ion of a vital question, which has hung fire o many years. If hustling and getting amusing the people counts Miss Muggle V. Smith, the present Superintendent of the County Schools will be a winner. All along the line the sentiment prevails that La Croix will be a badly defeated man on Nov. 6th. The people at least want someone in that office who will make a respectable showing. Chairman McConnell of the Democratic Central Committee has got his headquarters in shape and is preparing to make an aggressive campaign. With La Croix, however, he is carrying a lot of dead weight, and will have to work the harder, knowing in advance that their County Attorney is doomed to certain defeat. Wednesday evening the Republican hosts journeyed to Marysville from which place it is rumored they had a rousing meeting. A meeting under the auspices of the Republican County Central Committee is scheduled for Unionville Saturday evening. John Wendel, the popular Councillman from the First Ward deserves the heartiest support from all classes. He is a tireless worker and stands for the common people. He is a working-man himself, and appreciates the conditions by which the common people are surrounded, and any honor in the gift of the people is not too great for a man who has at all times advocated the cause of the people as has John Wende'. Justice F. L. Reeves has made a splendid record as Justice of the Peace and no doubt will receive a hardcore endorsement at the polls.

Helena, Montana, Friday, October 12, 1906. Is LaCroix's Own Record to him When the Searchlight is turned on Last week THE PLAINDEALER took occasion to show from the records the truth of its previous assertion that LaCroix, as County Attorney has proven to be an expensive luxury to the taxpayers of this County. The instances there set forth were but the beginning, however, of the story of his waste, and attempt to waste, the public funds. His opinion, rendered at the request of the present sheriff upon the act of the last Legislative Assembly very materially reducing the sum to be paid for the transportation of prisoners to the Penitentiary, the Insane Asylum, and the State Reform School, was to the effect that the act was unconstitutional, and that consequently the sheriff was, notwithstanding the same, entitled to charge and receive the very much greater allowance provided by the statute in force prior to the passage of the act in question. Fortunately for the taxpayers the Board of County Commissioners of this County declined to be bound by the opinion of LaCroix on that matter, the Attorney General having rendered an option directly contrary thereto, and when a bill was presented to such board, computed under the terms of the old law, it was rejected. A suit was thereupon commenced in the District Court of Lewis and Clark County to compel the Board to audit and allow the bill as presented. Did this "most efficient, incorruptible, popular and faithful" public servant, LaCroix, go into the District Court and defend that suit and the interests of the County? He did not. Instead he sulked behind the opinion he had rendered, and it remained for the Attorney General to not only perform his duty for him in the Lower Court, but in the Supreme Court as well. The decision of the Supreme Court sustained the opinion of the Attorney General, knocked that of LaCroix into a cocked hat, and the new law was declared valid. NERO FIDDLES. ROME BURNS NERO FIDDLES. ROME BURNS The Plaindealer Would Like to Know the Reason A certain gentleman who attended the Ball last week did not have his full dress complete. A certain lady who was a visitor last week accompanied by a friend of the masculine gender changed stopping places and was not seen with him any more. The police did not keep the idlers and loafers on the move. There are even yet some of our citizens who are so blind as not to recognize merit wherever displayed and fall into line. That the large colored vote of Lewis and Clark County is not recognized to the extent that some colored man is not given a political position. County Attorney LaCroix has made such a poor showing as a prosecutor, and out of four plain murder cases he has absolutely lost two, and only secured convictions for manslaughter in the other two. There is such a complaint made about not receiving this paper by our Butte subscribers. Charley Black failed to come over from Butte Fair Week. The colored voters should line upf or the entire local ticket in Anaconda when they are made acquainted with the actions of a certain County officer towards us. Some of our own Lewis and Clark County citizens are so slow to recognize the merits of the PLAINDEALER. Some people think we can run a newspaper on hot air. That even with the bear's foot over the Editor's desk in this office, some of the boys do not believe Arthur and Jim's bear story. The barber on Main St. has been so unsteady of late.

David E. Forgan, president of the Commercial association, presided at the banquet, which was attended by about 750 members of the association and their friends, Sir Thomas Lipton was one of the chief guests of the Trening. Other speeches were: “Conquest of tne Pacific,” Congress man George E. Foss, and “San Fran- cisco,” by Ernest F. Bicknell. Mr. Bicknell represented the Chicago Com- imercial association in-the-relief-meas- ures at San Francisco after the earth- quake. After reviewing the progress made in the northwest in the past 50 years, Mr. Hill eaid: “The first bus.ness and the highest cuty of the noriawest is to prepare for the burden and heat of the coming day and to postpone the lengthening of the shadows that must surely fall. With- in certain limits we may know exactly what is to happen in this country and the northwest if forces now operative ‘and if tendencies now active are un- checked. These, briefly, are the cer- tainties of the next 50 years, support: ed by facts ascertained beyond pos- sibility of error. By the middle of this century, within the life time of thousauds now living, our population will be more than 200,000,0vy. Where are these people to find profitable oc- cupation? How are they to obtain the necessities of life? The question is always pressing upon great cities like Chicago, where immigration concen- trates. But these newcomers can not be excluded. Labor was never as scarce, wages were never as high as at the present day. We can not stop the inflow or check the natural in- crease. We must determine, however, upon an economy different from the present, when our population is ap- proaching three times what it was in 1900. Striking as has n found the contrast between 1850 and 1900, that between the present and 1950 will re- veal more serious features. Practi- cally speaking, our public lands are all occupied. Irrigation Will Assist. “The irrigation of lands by the gen- eral government will do something, but when all the present plans are completed, they will furnish land for fewer than 1,500,000 small farms of 40 acres each, or for a population of seven or eight million people. Our other natural resources have been ex- ploited with a lavish hand. Our ex- ports, of which we love to boast, con- | sist mostly of the products of the soll. Our iron and coal supply will begin to show signs of exhaustion before 50 years have passed. The former at the ,| present rate of increasing the produc- _|on, will be greatly reduced.

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new hatch'd, unfed'd comrade. Beware of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in, bear't. That the oppressed may beware of thee, Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; Take each mann't censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy. But not expressed in fancy, rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man; And they in France, of the best rank and Are most select and generous;—chief in that Neither a borrower, nor a lender be; For loan loses both itself and friend; And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry This above all,—to thine own self be true; And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man The Plaindealer 'Phone Number is 727 L.
