and, upon application for information
respecting affairs in Custer county, made
some interesting statements. Referring
to the election Of school trustees and dis
trict clerk, which took place last Satur-
day, resulting in the election of B. w.
Laid TO the former position and of w.
Savage to the latter by overwhelming
majorities, MI. Kreidler said that the
people regarded it as a great victory over
the Hubbell-Chinook-Cox ring. The
fact that yer 800 votes were polIed indi-
Gated the general interest which was
taken in the election. The contest was
very spirited. Teams were sent out du-
ly placarded with election advice, and
voters We're brought in from long dis
tances. Eighty-five ladies availed them
selves Of the privilege which is given
them to vote for school officers, seventh
i've coming to the support of the Laid

their ballots for Lebcher, the opposing
candidate. At $50 o'clock In the after

"The election of the peoples ticket was

1t is sometimes questioned by mer-
chants whether advertising pays. The
question will hardly bear discussion in
the light of the following facts, rates OF
transient advertising being figured: The
Chicago Tribune, it is said, for a column
a year receives $4,000. The New York
Herald receives for its lowest price col
m $50, 723 and for its highest $348, 900.
The New York Tribune receives for the
lowest $29, 7e4 and for its highest $50, 6A8;
and these papers are never at a loss for
advertisements to fill their columns.
Their patronage ome not from any de-
sire to assist the respective papers, but
from business men who find it profitable
to advertise. The sensible business man
does not consider whether he likes the
paper he advertises in or not. What he
wants to know is, in what paper shall I
insert my advertisement SO that it will
reach the greatest number of readers?
Tt does not take long to find out by ex-
perience where it pays them best to adj
vertise. That it does pay they have no
doubt and raise no questions. Long ex-
perience with almost every business
man who has succeeded has proved that
beyond q question.

AND FRANCE.
Relations Between the Powers Grave and
Threatening.

New York, April 1.-THE Worgd's
London cable says the message of En-
peror William to the Reichstag calling
for legislation in the interest of the
working classes, excites as much uneasi-
ness here in the official circles as at Ber-
lin, for the reason that it is believed to
be inspired by dlstrust Of the existing
government of France and to cover the
military programme which will pretty
certainly be carried out upon the first
symptoms Of serious political d%isturban-
ces in France. / have it on the best au-
thority hat under orders frem Berlin q
fortnight ago six divisions Of German
imperial cavalry, and four of army corps
have been got into readiness to cross the
French frontier in three days time.
Some of the Socialist leaders Of Germany
appear inclined to cut out work nearer
home for the forces by provoking overt
disturbances among the German work
ing classes, but as any such attempt
would be disastrous to the people it is
not likely it will be made. The real
danger to Europe at this moment is at
Paris where the men in authority seem
to be entirely Incapable Of understand
ing the danger to which they are expos
ing not only the peace of the continent
the very existence of their w
country.

The Flags Nativity.

There was a peculiar anniversary at a
private house in New York on the 14th
inst. TWAS the celebration of the sixty
fifth birthday of the present American
flag. The celebration occurred at the
of Col. Samuel C. Reid, the son of
Capt. S. c. Reid, who commanded the
private armed brig General Armstrong.
1t was not until 1918 that the flag in its
present frame was definitely decided up
on and the design of Capt. Reid was
adopted by congress, and on April 18th,
1918, it was hoisted for the first time at
the national capitol.

An Inside View.

We confess to feeling some surprise
and disappointment at the result Of the
recent election in Yellowstone county
1t was far from being such as we beliey-
ed the permanent residents and honest
voters Of hat new county would have
voluntarily and deliberately chosen. The
truth from an inside view appears in a
letter before us from one of the most in
telligent and responsible citizens of Bill
llngs. The republican committee had
word the night before election that re-
peatlng would be attempted on a large
scale BY the railroad bosses in the inter
est OF Webb, a clerk of the Minnesota
ana Montana land company, for whose
consideration. Warning was sent along
the line, men were sent from BILLINGS to
watch at Huntley and other places. Two
gravel train loads of men came to Hunt
ley to vote as expected. Though there
are only Is or 20 legal voters there.
enough OF these repeaters sWore in their
votes against the protest Of the demo-
cratic member Of the board of Judges, to
run the vote up to 116. About half of
these men who thus offered to vote had
enough conscience left to refuse to be
sworn. The action Of the Judges pre-
vented the bringing up of three other
train loads of voters that had been made |
ready. One of the men sent to Huntlev |
came back to Billings and saw the same
men who voted at Huntley swearin their
votes again at Billings. Some declined
to vote after being challenged. Passes
We're issued to sixteen men to come to
Billings from Livingston for the our
pose Of working for the democratic tick
ct. These men were former residents
Of Billings, known as FOUNDERS who
been gone from the town long
enough to have lost their residence.
others who voted at Canyon City came
Billings and voted again, and many
from the reservation voted at Rapid pre-
cinct. Men who had voted at Merrill
voted a second time at Saltwater and
swore in their votes. The challenger
sent to Merrill to protest against these
repeaters was threatened personal VIC
lence, and when he appealed to the
Judges for their interposition, the
posses threatened to tear up the side
racks if their votes were refused.
Under such threats the vote at that
place vas swelled from an honest twelve

Example is needed, or things will go
