Editor Billings News:
Being assailed at home and abroad I
think it no more than just and right
that 1 should be accorded space to more
fully state my side of the question and
to set right, if possible, a few erroneous
ideas of the opposition.
The idea seems to prevail to a great
extent that my former article was a di-
rect slap at all temperance people.
There is not a single word in it that
can be construed to mean any such

The New York suspender trust has

President Roosevelt does not believe

do not.
Not much gold is arriving from Cape

out any interruption.
Harry Lehr says he is tired of socie-

iB tired of Harry Lehr.
A whale tried to swallow that cable to
Alaska. Now perhaps more people will
be disposed to believe Mr. Jonah.
The New York chief of detectives has
been discharged. He was a clever de-
tective but he could not escape detec-
tion.
If our millionaires are afraid of dying
rich why don’t they let the tax asses-
sors appraise their property at its full
value.
The House of Representatives admit-
ted a point of order against an in-
crease of wages for school teachers re-
ceiving five hundred dollars a year but
allowed the provision for a dog catcher
at fifteen hundred dollars per annum,
on the principal perhaps that it is eas-
ier to teach wild animals than to catch
them.
U. S. Representative Baker of New
York declined a rai'road pass. Morris
Shepherd of Texas has introduced a bil
to make the use of railroad passes by
members of Congress a punishable of-
fense. The bill will not sail through
but Mr. Shepherd is on the right tack
and mixing metaphors, should lead the
flock.
New Jersey women want the legisla-
ture to provide a law that bachelors
shall be taxed. Why don’t the ladies
inarry them?
When one pays the plumber this
weather he has the pleasure of knowing
that for every dollar spent for plumb-
ing he may save a penny on his ice bill.
Another New York millionaire has
married the girlwhonursed him through
an illness. This is more economical
than marrying one of the original Flor-
odora sextette.
Former Governor Peabody of Colora-
do says he will unearth the election
frauds in that state to the very bottom.
This makes the digging of the Panama

A Chicago telephone girl testified in

Jiu jitsu the system of Japanese phy-

by an understanding of.it a man may
press an opponents “essential nerve”
and convert him to any argument. If it
works in the army and navy the Presi-
dent should try it on Congress on the
tariff and railroad questions.
“After a trip to America” savs Ger-
trude Atherton of California “1 turn in-
to a veritable Lot’s wife and 1 want a
genii to carry me back to London and
dose me with sugar and pour honey ov-
er me and make me myself again.”
The process doesn’t sound alluring but
if Gertrude likes it California is glad
that it has to be performed in London.
The Chaplain of the Senate began his
prayer the other day with this quota-
tion.
There is so much had in the best of us
And so much good in the worst of us
That it hardly behooves any of us
I To talk about the rest of us.
The Senate immediately took up the
impeachment case against Judge
Swayne. F. D,
either a religious or political discussion.
When man proceeds to worship any ob-
ject, whether it be God, Mammon or the
Devil, contrary to and in violation of
the laws of his country he is an anar-
chist, pure and simple. This is a self-
evident fact, for we know that anarchy
is the opposition to all government, and
an anarchist is one who promotes it.
Therefore, when men and women set
the laws of their country at defiance
they at once become anarchists. In
this country I know of no reason under
Heaven why one could not worship his
God and at the same time be a law abid-
ing citizen. If man knowingly enacts;
laws in opposition to God’s law by thej
law he has transgressed will he be
judged. He can be tried before no oth-
er court. “Something must be done or
our fair land will be drenched in blood.”
The brush of the brain dipped in the
roseate huts of imagination is capable
of producing some weird and fanciful
pictures, i'or forty years—just beyond,
yet always in sight, has this same terri-
ble picture hung. But it is fading, fad-
ing fast. A master hand will be re-
quired to make it presentable to the
coming generation. I will venture to
say that nine-tenths of the people of
this country, with all the evidence at-
tainable, know that such a picture can
never pass into a reality. The nearest
approach to it 1 have ever seen was
when Carrie threw her hatchet. Of
course a “multitude” of them might
make it more impressive. If a multi-
tude is wanted why haven’t the follow-
ers of Mrs. Nation the,courage of their
conviction. A dime hatchet and penny
conscier.ce will equip the most worthy.
But a multitude of Carries would come
to grief in short order. And then some
of them might possibly die martyr.
But there is a difference in martyrs.
Lincoln was a martyr, so was his assas-
sin. They both died for their belief.
Yet, you must agree with me there was
a vast difference. All honor to those
who died, or may die martyrs inside the
law. But my respect for those who
died, or may die outside the law is not
J to be measured, even in inches. Carrie
yet and you might as well make up your mind to buy some
winter clothes if you are not well prepared for the cold
weather. Our stock is yet complete. We have a full line
of winter underwear, hosiery, gloves, mittens, caps, over-
coats, capes, jackets, heavy clothing, overshoes, rubbers,
rubber boots, etc. Our prices are always right and we are
now offering our winter goods at great reductions.

If the acts of the Boston Tea Party
I and that of Mrs. Nation had occurred
under the same conditions there would
have been no difference. But they did
not. Circumstances alter cases, and in
! this case they are so altered that no
1 similarity exists. The colonies for some
time before this had been making and
i living under their own laws, simply ig-
: noriog the taws that were made for
them in the mother coun.ry. Having
laws of their own it was not anarchy to
oppose, even by force any law which
they did not see fit to accept. Where
the laws of a country are made by the
majority the minoriiy must acquiesce.
Otherwise anarchy and rebellion are a
positive result. Therefore, we find that
in a republican form of government the
anarchists or law breakers are always in
the minority. But in a Monarchy,
Russia for instance, where the masses
| have no voice in the law making power,
anarchy takes on a different aspect, and
1 take off my hat to the man, high or
low, who dares to stand up for the ma-
jority, even though such a stand would
bring him in direct opposition to the
law. But this would be anarchy never-
theless. The very kind of anarchy no
doubt that John Adams had in view
when he said “This is the most magnif-
icent movement of all.” And Wendall
Phillips had better spared his oration
over the body of John Brown for that of
a Russian anarchist. Anarchy is not to
be tolerated by any Christian man or
woman under a republican form of gov-1
ernment. Under other forms of gov-1
eminent it sometimes'becomes a neces-
sity.
If whiskey is free in N. M. who, l
ask, are the anarchists? Carrie must be
down there with her hatchet. But then
“if she had been a Frances Willard in
common sense” she certainly would not
use it. Instead she would go about her
work in a very different sort of way, ev-
en as Frances Willard did, who did
more with her gentle kindness in a year
than Carrie Nation can with her vindic-
tive hatchet in a thousand.
1 have nothing to retract from my
former article or nothing more to add,
and this will be my last on the subject.
