COME, COME. MIR, wALkER.

City Treasurer Walker was yesterday
asked to explain two seriously important
matters. As these explanations did not
appearin the esteemed evening contem-
porary, with which he was long closely
connected, we again ask the questions
and demand Here are the
sections from the revised city ordi-
nances. ..-...@ =
Section 5, article 4, chapter 4 of the
revised ordinances reads as follows:
"As treasurer and collector he shall, at
the end Of each quarter of the fiscal year,
and oftener if required. prepare and deliver
to the city clerk a full and complete report
fer the quarter, stating the amount of re-
oeipts and expenditures of his Office and ex-
hibitlnR all accounts and vouchers for set
Element with the city council."
Section 2, article 4, chapter 4 Of the
revised ordinance reads:
"As ex-officio collector he shall faithfully
collect all taxes that may become due. He
shall cancel each warrant on his register as
the same is taken up or paid, and report all
warrants cancelled quarterly to the city
council and then deliver such warrants to
the city clerk for the action OF the city
council"
The Importance Of attending to these
duties should be plain to every tyro, and
yet City Attorney and Clerk Craven
says that Mr.. Walker has failed in each
instance to obey the ordinances. In
other words, the mayor and city council
have never seen one of these official
reports Of receipts and expedi-
lures; neither have they seen the
reports Of cancelled warrants required.
What sort of business is this? m@
Ii the city treasurer can give any In
telligent reasons for this very serious
neglect of one of the chief duties of his
office, it is time to produce.

GOOD!
John G. Curtin, for mayor!

JOnQ ~. CuTJlQ, lOT mayor:
Right nobly did the democratic city
convention do its duty. For the may
orally no better name could have been
chosen under any conceivable circum-
stances. Not a. citizen interested first
in the welfare of his home, can be found
in this town who will not approve the
choice. All who know Mr.. Curtin, and
he has lived in Last Chance gulch since
the early days, know him to be a man
without reproach. There are men in
this town whose ambitions led them
into very questionable transactions;
there have been good men who have
fallen to the smiles Of temptation, but
the man has yet to come who can turn
the finger of suspicion to the business
reputation, or the personal or social
character Of John G. Curtin. In all his
long residence here he Las stood squarely
to the line in business, in social life, in
public affairs. lie never knew compro-
mise between right and wrong. The
value of an honest mayor is patent to
all, but with his reputation forunwaver-
ing integrity Mr.. Curtin has. besides, all
requisites for that office. The sagacity,
industry and knowledge evidenced in the
u%pbuilding of a great business and
handsome fortune, will assuredly be M
ployed for the city of Helena if he is
elected. As county commissiener he
gave full evidence of his belief that a
public office is a public trust, and to
whatever duty he has been called he has
been faithful. He is a man of liberal
views, sound business judgment and a
friend to his friends. This is why he
has always been so popular in the COM
munity, and he will win next Monday
because the people know he is to be
trusted.

What blessed thing is memoryl How

forgotten. Perhaps oyour mind comes the
face of some friend. 1t was once i pale, sad
face II showed marks of pain, lines of

hereafter. the unknown future. And then
you recalled how it bTighteae i, how it re-
covered its rosy hue how it became a

member these things? Many people do,
and gladly tell how the health returned.
how happiness came back, how the world
seemed bright. They tell how they were
once weak, nerveless, perhaps in pain,
certainly unhappy. They tell of sleepIess
nights, restless days, untouched food, un-
strung nerves. And then they tell
how they became happy, healthy and
strong once more. You have heard it often
iu the past. have you not? You have heard
people describe how they were cured and
kept in health? mou certainly can re-
member what it is that has so
helped people in America. If
