THE effort of the Helena journal to
manufacture cheap political capital out
of the fact that several cases have been
brought in the United States court
against the Great Falls ~ Canada Rail
way company for alleged violation Of the
alien labor law is in full keeping with
the character of that sheet for fairness
and honesty. If this railway company
has violated the law. and the matter will
in due time be adjudicatcd IN the courts.
1t must suffer the consequences. AS to
the merits of the cases instituted the
TRIBUNE knows nothing and is willing
to await the evidence that may be
brought out in the trials. The Great
Falls a. Canada company has no license
to violate any law on our statute books.
but they should not be condemned until
found guilty. So far as Mr.. +. f..
Collins is concerned his position
as vice president is simply honor
AIRY. He has not Il dollar in
vested in the company is not an cxccu-
tive officer and has no more knowledge
of the business affairs of the
than has the editor of the journal. Mr..
Collins has been east for nearly a month
past and has never heard of these cases
or OF the alien laborers alleged to have
been imported into this state. These are
the simple facts in the ease and in their
light the efforts of the journal to make
political capital out Of the affair will
prove futile.

FREE; wool.

The wool growers of Montana art
deeply interested in the question of free
wool. They have heard so often the
stale. stock arguments of the protection
lists to the effect that only under Il high
tariff on wool can they hope for good
prices for their product. that have como
to believe in it as the gospel Of their sal
walton. And this, too, in face of the fact
that since the duty was placed on wool
the price of the product has steadily
fallen and with increase Of duty the
price has correspondingly decreased.
The republican high takers, catering to
the demands of the cloth manufacturers,
who knowing we'll that a tariff on wool
would enable them to cry down the
price of the product and to use shoddy
in place of wool in the manufacture of
clothes, have cunningly kept out of sight
the statistics of the wool industry in
other countries. They have carefully
concealed the fact that the English vol
growers received under free trade a price
for their wool nearly double that which
they received under the operation of a
tariff on wool, and this in the face of
large i%mportations of foreign wool.
The TRIBUNE presents to the wool
men of Montana some interesting facts
regarding the question of free or pro-
tected wool. On another page will be
found a letter written TO the Chicago
Tribune reciting the same old, stale
arguments for a tariff on wool with
which the republican high TAKERS have
been hoodwinking the wool grower for
years. Following the letter is the an
swe which the Chicago Tribune made
to those arguments. Both the letter and
the answer are reproduced entire. and
when il is remembered that the Chicago
Tribune is one of the most Influential
organs of the republicans party, the arti-
has an added interest. 1t is worthy
Of careful reading and consideration by
the wool growers of Montana.

us say that there were threc distinct
movements for each note. AS there were
twenty -four notes per second she moved
her fingers at least seventy-two distinct
times each second.
Moreover, each Of those notes was de-
termined by the will and allotted to a
certain place, with certain force at a
certain time and with certain duration.
Therefore, there were four distinct quail

We're conditional on consciousness of the
position of each hand and each finger be-
fore it was moved and by the sound and
the force OF each touch. Therefore, there
were three conscious sensations to every
note.
There were seventy-two transmi5sions
per second, l44 to and fro, and those with
constant change Of quality. And then,
added to that, all the time the memory
was remembering each note in its due
time and place and was exercised in the
comparison Of it with others that came

nothing; she did not even know that the
learning and thought and pleasure wa.

their life.
Her only enjoyment was in the tags oI
bright ribbons stitched to her old skirt
which the children gave her from theil
dolls rags. These were all that she would
accept from them; she was never known
to take money. That was the one sounc
spot in her poor, crazed brain-a fierc,
pride OF independence.
Her old mother became helpless. Shee
