Shakespeare says, "a rose with
out name would smell as sweet"
nevertheless, Just at the dawn of
this last decade of the nineteen
century, IN the year Of grace 1890,
there ls quite a good deal in
name.
A clothier without a name and
reputation Is heavily handicapped
in the race for trade. People like
to buy from dealers whose estab-
lished record is a guarantee for
fairness and honesty.
Our name, A. NATHAN, The One.
Price CIothler, has been before the
public of Northern Montana for
years and has an established repu-
tation for honesty, fair-dealing
and hearty endeavor to please
customers.
The reputation of clothier is
the accumulated evidence of many
transactions with many customers.
A good name can only be founded
on continued merit in merchandise
and fairness in dealing. We can
be surpassed in neither.
Our name has value to you. It
specifies a place where you can
save money by buying better
goods for less money than else
where. Try us and see if this
good name is not we'll deserved.
Perhaps you may hear our Gus.
toners speak Of the tailor made
clothing we carry, the work of
Stein, Block & Co., wholesale
tailors. There is SO much in them
to talk about it can't be half told.
The fit, the fabric, the fashion,
that extreme ''finesse of finish"
you can't find in other makes.
When we call their suits tailor
made, we mean every suit is made
as much by hand as possible, no
machine button holes or flimsily
sewed on buttons, but enough said.
The name Stein, Block 4 Co.,
wholesale tailors, attached to all
their work, speaks for itself.
Our fall goods are coming in.
We are receiving the best goods of
every kind in our line that can be
found.
The latest styles in hats, neck
wear and handkerchiefs continu-
ally in stock.
Shirts in quality, style, pattern,
workmanship and prices that will
suit you.
While we carry the best goods
to be obtained. we also carry an
immense stock of goods to suit all
kinds of trade. We do not carry
the cheapest grades, but will sell
you good goods at prices that will
surprise you cheaper than the
cheapest grades can be bought
elsewhere. 1t will be to your in
terest to see our stock. Step in
when you can. Well be glad to
see you whether you purchase or
not.
If you cannot come yourself send
your order and it will receive i'm
mediate attention. Don't forget
that we guarantee the price of
every thing we sell, Yours re-
spectfully,

of an additional amount equal to the an
nual retirement of the national bank
notes, estimated at $20,0O0,O0O, thereby

tion.

ton of the 272,706 white illiterates were
fully represented At the polls. Almost the
exact total of the negro vote was absent.
That such abstention on the part Of 30
large majority Of the voters Of the state
was voluntary is utterly inconceivable- By
some means or other their right TO vote
niust.haye been abridged.
II IL clear case that in this connection,
wholly apart from the relations between
whites and blacks in South Carolina. the
government owes duty to every state that
adopted the 18Th amendment TO the
constitution. That amendment declares
that In the event that this right TO vote Is
in any way abridged the basis of repre-
sentation shall be proportionstely reduced
States which. in the face OF such testimony
as the above, will not submit and consent
TO free vote and fair count under fed
erai supervision, must submit to proper
Tomato reduction of representation And
no Just government will require great
bodies OF its native born citizens to take
their lives in their hands, in order TO enjoy
their rights. Nor can il permit the ques-
ton of il!iteracy to be raised against one
more than another class OF citizens. Mr..
Powderiy could not have studied all the
facts and bearings OF this case. Not only
justice. but common decsncy, forbid the
acceptance OF his ideas ON this point.
