EDITOR OF THE LEADER:
Matters and things in general are very
quiet in the temporary capital since the
election. The defeated candidates, as a
matter of course, feel that they have been
Outraged by the people''and the success
full aspirants are jubilant and feel salts
lied that the voters did about the square
thing in electing them to office. 1t don't
matter very much to the officers, for it
don't tighten their burdens of daily toll
or add increased weight to their pocket
books. The tax collector and undertaken
make their calls about as usual.
But aside from all this, political cam
paigns are a good thing in general for
the people. 1t educates them in govern
mental affairs and makes them better
citizens. If it were not for these re-
minders of our rights and duties we
would soon drift into a despotism and
the few would dictate to the many. As
it is, ave, the People," are the rulers
So mote it ever be.
And now the talk is all "Inauguration
Ball." 1t is proposed to usher in the
new state government and state officials
of Montana by grand and glorious ball
at Hotel Broadwater. The affair is as
suming shape now and will be grand
success. AS soon as the president issues
his proclamation dc claring Montana a
full tledged state the "ball" will be
started rolling.
The vote against the new constitution
is very small, which speaks we'll for the
intelligence of the voters of Montana
The instrument is not perfect by any
means, but in due course of time the
rough edges will be smoothed off.
"Kid" Chamberlin, young man of
respect, ability and character" INDUCED
rather freely in "applejack" Saturday
night, and on being tapped on the should
er and revuested to "come along" made
thrust at the policeman with a
, inflicted an ugly cut ON the left side o1
the policeman's face. The "cop" let fly
his club on the poor "Kid's' head and
felled him to the flour with a deep cut
which poured forth blood in profusion
By this time second policeman arrived
on the scene of action and the young
'Kid" was dragged off like dead animal
to the ''cooler" On examination the
wounds of the Kid were pronounced
serious but not necessarily fatal. The
"cop's' cut was stitched together by 8
doctor, and he will have to wear ban
dage for few days. Col. Sanders late
picture OF the greatness OF the Helena
police force was pretty nearly correct.
Hon. r. c. Powers new residence or
Madison avenue will be, when finished
the finest structure in Montana. L
leaves all of the other great homes IL
Helena all far in the shade.
The railroad movement in the direction
of Great Falls is exciting a good deal
attention with the "temporary capital
of Montana, About the first thing tn
people of Helena will find out is tina
Great Falls is fast reaching out in tn
direction of being the leading busines
centre of Montana This queen city 0
the mountains as Maj Walker neve
tires in proclaiming through the boar
of trade circulars, will from this on hav
: to look out for her laurels or the Might
Cataract City will leave her in the rea
