If ourselfish ends were consulted, we would un- hesitatingly advocate the primary rae system to nominate our candidates, | becunse there is more money in it to a party newspaper, Both systems have their advantages and disadvan- tages, and we have no doubt that the Democratic party will survive either. Gur candid opinion is that the party's interests are best subserv- ed by the convention method. If the primary election could be safe- guarded by state laws to prevent illegal voting then it would be much better than it is now, still it would jJabor under the disadvantage of be- ing unable to distribute the ticket, FOR SUPREME JUDGE. to We are authorized announce ] ‘of the 29th Judicial cireuit, will-bea | candidate before the next Democrati tate Conventionfor the nomination of Supreme Judge. Judge Graves decided to be a can- | didate only after a careful survey of |the field and repeated solicitations from friends and admirers in differ- ent sections of the state. He is one of the most diffident of men, modest asto his own claims, but no man will gofarther in a legitimate way to help a friend or promote the interests of the Democratic party, of which he an active and influential member from his majority. Judge Graves may appropriately be referred to as a self-made man, hav yy his own exertions worked his way up from a plow boy to the high position on the bench he now holds, following such — illustrious juristets-Hon: Foster-Po Wright: the present Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Hon, James B. Gantt, and Hon. David A. DeArmond, the recog- nized leader of the democratic party inthe Nation to-day, and it is no dis- ment of those gentlemen to say that the high standard thus set has been fully maintained by the present incumbent. Judge Graves is the peer of any man whose name will be presented for that. office, He is an able Jurist, a learned aud upright Judge, a young man of indomitable energy, indus- trious and studious. Possesses a clear, well balanced, aualytical mind and has at all times the courage of his convictions, He is the candidate of no clique or faction, and with no entangling alli- ances, but comes before the demo- cratic party of the state with clean handsand upon his meritsaloneasks this high distinction” of his party, His public record is without a flaw and his private life is blameless. Neither the Democratic party or the has been people of Missouri will have cause to]; regret his nomination and election, DEAL SQUARELY WITH MISSOURI. Driven to the dilemma of either calling President Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie “looters of a trust fund” or confessing the utter falsity ofits position regarding the school fundot Missouri, the Globe-Democrat refuses to acknowledge that the eon- version of $10,000,000 of steel bonds into United States bonds for the pro- posed national university is analo- gousto the action that has been tak- en by democratic administration in this state in handling moneys of the schools, ‘In the case of the national univer- sity, Mr. Carnegie, upon the advice of the president, has sold bonds pro- ducing a revenue whieh could] in no ti be~drawn trom the public, RTSUTT TST Te pro= J bonds in gover that Hon.

Our first stockholders were Luther Shobe, C. H. Duteher, A. H. Humphrey, Wm. BE. Walton, Dr. T. C. Boulware, C. C. Duke and M. L. Wolfe, A year later the capital was increased and it be- came the “Butler National Bank” which continued until the year 1889, when the Missouri State Bank was organized witha capital of $110,000, which also absorbed the Walton & Tucker Investment Company. In 1896 the Walton Trust Compa- ny was organized nd taking one- half of the capital, which reduced the capital stock of the Missouri State Bank to $55,000, In the 21 yearsof business we have never skipped a dividend and have paid our stock- holders in cash dividends $122,- 500,00, We have lost by death stockhold- ers, S. Q. Dutcher, Thomas W. Childs, A. HL. Humphrey, Lavina Allen, R.V, Williams, Judge Bartlett, Margaret Bryner, Robert Clark, John Evans, Alfred Miller, Harlan €, Turner and Peter Swartzendruber. Wm. E. Walton, the President, has been either cashier or president con- tinuously for 21 years. During the hardtimes of 1893 and afterwards when many banks in the United States failed, this institution went right along paying its stockholders dividends twice a year and lending holdeis every depositor, large or small, al- ways got his money when called for, During the last eight years have paid stockholdersan average of 9 percent and placed in the surplus fund each year one and one-fifth per cent. mak- ing the net earnings average ten and one-fifth per cent. free of taxes, as all taxes are paid by the Bank, We have 47 stockholders, 38 of whom livein Bates cotnty, In the 21 years of business we have made over 68,000 loans, and have never lost a large debt. Our losses from bad loans have been very small. While tiis Bank has always been solvent and prosperous, it was never so strongas it is now. We have no bad debts and don’t own any real estate taken for debt The only real estate we own is our bank building, With 21 pees "DEATH FROM SCALDING, \J. J.

Ray | Bates county tana paper: As a vesult of scaldsand burns sus- tained Saturday evening while firing a passenger train on the Northern Pacific near Garrison, Fireman Jeff Ray died at the compaiy’s hospital Sunday morning. From the time of arrival at the hospital there was but little hope that death could be stay- ed. ‘Tenderly the serious wounds were cared for, but were found too serious for human aid to prevent the sad ending, Ray was near 40 years ofage; mar- ried, and is survived by a wife and two children who reside on Spruce street in Missoula. Their loss is a sad one in which is extended them the sinc sympathy of a host of people of the community, who had known and esteemed the dead man highly. Ray had been employed on the Roc Mountain division since a former cit izen of , is taken from a Mon- ful and efficient employe. The remains were taken to the un- dertaking rooms of H.C. Marsh, and will be buried from the family resi- deuce on Bast Spruce at 2:30 this afternoon, service to be conducted by Rev. H. F. Rossell under the au- spices of Missoula’s camp of Inde- pendent Order of Foresters, In addition to the misfortune most dire thatis contained in the death of Ray there is another incident most pathetic that is connected therewith, Practically the entire estate left to the famiiy is an insurance certificate of $2,000 carried with the beneficiary fund of the Foresters. In addition to this the deceased had for several years kept up an accident policy that incase of accidentaldeath would have brought the family several thousand dollars. This was permit- ted to lapse for non-payment ofsmall premium within a week prior to his death, FLAX SEED TO LOAN, CANNON WEINER Elratar Ch We buy our goods in large quantities and are able to make you the lowest prices on all kinds of Field and Garden Seeds and Mili Poducts, Red Clover, | Red Top, | Flour, Mammoth Clover, | Blue Grass, Bran, White Clover, Orchard Grass |) Shorts, H] Wheat Chops, Corn Cops, Feed Corn, Alsyke Clover, Timethy Seed, Flax Seed, | Seed Rye, | | Seed Corn, | Seed Oats, Soy Beans, | Seed Wheat, - | Cotton Seed Meal, Cane Seed, | Cow Peas, | and Kaftir Corn, | Millet. | Hay.

BERNHARDT, Jeweler. re siness i an ' close attention to the wants of our mentbonds, the be raised by : erest’ of Which will tax upon the people and whieh will be drawn from the T United States treasury. The revenue of this new form of the university fund hot drawn from outside sources, but, as the Globe says re- garding the school fund, “the burden of supporting: the scien- tific institution endowed by a gener- ous individual will have been shifted to the shoulders of the people.” Exactly the same thing has been done by Missouri, Previous to L875 the principal part of the school fund was invested in United States bonds. These bonds were sold at a premium and the proceeds invested in Missouri bonds. These Missouri bonds were public debts, the interest on which was paid by general taxation. Chang- ing the bonds into certificates of in- debtedness simply made convertible bonds inconvertible. As before the conversion, the credit of the state is behind every certificate of indebted- ness and all the forms of bonds are preserved. In other words, Andrew Carnegie and President Roosevelt are doing with the national university trust fund what Governor Hardin did with Missouri’sschool fund. The credit of the government is back of the new form of the university fund. The credit of the state is back of the 'schoolfund. In both cases the trus- | tees of the funds have ‘looted’ them jto the extent of investing in their | own securities. According to a familiar illustration of the Globe, if Mr. Carnegie would is Missouri and populous townships would still havea big advantage over smaller ones. However, there might be spe- cial reasons this time why a primary would be better and we want it dis- tinctly understood that we are not give enough money to his university jendowment the United States gov- jernment would be bankrupt. New ; bonds would demand so rauch inter- est that the people_would-be-taxed to death. According to the Globe, thatwas the danger of emulating the Tstomers to move along salely ane profitably in the future as we have for so many years in the past. Yuring this long period, covering nearly a quarter of a century, we have been examined by both Nationaland State Bank Examiners onceor twice each year and every examiner was pleased with the Bank's condition and management.
