hunt; they never walk. and as race
abominate outdoor exercise; in fact,
they are far more French in their
habits than English l think the
climate has great deal to do with it;
but certainly. what strikes a casual
observer in America is that they are
far more foreign in all their habits and
ideas than English
On the other hand, an American
woman will look after her household
duties much more infinitely than an
English woman. Servants are usually
SO bad in America that ladies are ac-
customed to do there many things
which here are left entirely to servants.
American women are much more the
equals Of men in America than they
are considered in England. To begin
with they are more independent in
every way. They share equally with
their brothers in money or property;
consequently. there is NO head Of .
family. They are also accustomed to
much more freedom in their education;
they read the same books. study the
same subjects and hear them discussed
precisely rs their brothers do. They
are used to women doctors. women

aepusIIcan Rally.

The Republicans of Park county had
their turn last Monday night.
Messrs. Carter and Eaton arrived from
Billings early in the evening and about
7:30 the special train from Bozeman ara
rived with about two car loads of visitors.
They were accompanied by the uniform
cd band and torch brigade numbering
all told about 70 or 100 persons including
ladies,
They were received at the train by the
local Republican club armed with torches
and brass band and after maneuvering
for the edification ofthe crowd proceeded
to the opera house. The hall was tastily
decorated and was completely filled by
the crowd which was impartially COM
posed ofpatriotic Republicans and Demo-
erats.
Mr., Geo. o. Eaton was introduced by
the chairman Mr.. Frank Henry.
Mr.. Eaton is distinguished by an
amplitude of chin and adipose that make
up an impressing appearance while the
billiard ball smootllness of his Uranium
displays his bumps to the greatest ad
vantage. His manner is characterized
by the friged warmth for (which the
military are noted when addressing the
plebeians who SO delighted to 10 them

Mr.. Eaton is a fairly good speaker, with
voice whose souorousncss If in keeping

ofthis country woull be satisfied with
party of negative virtues,
He claimed the Democratic admins
tration had not fulfilled its promises with
regard to economy and cited the river
and harbor appropriation bill in proof of
its extravaganza. Referring to W. A.
Clark the Democratic candidate 70, con
gress he would say nothing dirogatory
to his character or ability, but he begged
his audience in fearful entreaty to re-
member that Mr.. Clark was a wealthy
man OF affairs and could he-now could
he, give sufficient attention to his private
busines without peglecting his duty to
his constituents?
As nobody seemed prepared to answer
his eenundrum he got mad and turned
his attention to cur inlnrtant contem-
porary and wiped the floor with him in
avery thorough manner. He referred to
the unwarranted attask on Mr.. Emmons
and vindicated that gentleman s, com.

then talked of depression from 1916 to

he gave free trade a final swipe under

Referring tu the low tariff period of
fourteen years terminating in 1850 he
gave an appalling picture of national dis

workmen, received only 374 cents per
day. This produced sensation until he
unheedingly proceeded to inform the
audience that those same workmen
were compelled to pay 81 per barrel for

The BRACES Valley.

Mr.. Cameron has returned from
San Antonio, and it is u summary of
the situation to say that the Brazos
Valley railroad is still not technical
fact. Legal difficulties arising under
the constitution of the state are the
obstacles which stand in the way
of a contamination of the transact
tions between Col. Cameron and the
Arkansas Pass company which is a
condition precedent to the acceptance
of the contract for the grading. 1t is
q difficulty which can be overcome
by change of plan, and all the par
ties being agreed, the construction of
the road is only deferred, not stopped.

negligent homicide. He failed to pay

clearly proven by the evidence in the
examining trial that the occurrence
was purely accidental and committed
without intent or purpose.
