OVER THE GET-THERE ROAD.

Who will dare the road to There,
The There of glittering glory?
Rough 1t is as a Whitman ode,
Cruel 1t is as the Russian code,
Long II is as the devils goad
At least, so runs the story.
There's never flnger-post nor guide,
Nor beast to bear your load;
Beware of the Reckless Rapids tide
And of Easy Swamp on the other side;
Go slow and sure, for you cannot rido
Over the Get-There road
What does it cost to get to There,
The There OF marvellous mention?
Only soul Of smallest breed,
Only life of grasping greed,
Only heart which does not heed
Another's right or plight or need,
But holds its own intention.
saw one left to a loathsome pest.
For that is the Get-There mode.
One picked the purse of his wretched guest
One trod rough-shod on n sweetheart.
breast
Over the Get-There road.
What's the share of those of There?
Why, every taste is suited;
Flaming fame or ruling rod,
sunny smile OF the golden god,
Or, may be, six by two of sod,
For that's point disputed.
There's never way to tell what's true
OF that select abode
Till you pass the wall which bars its view,
Over or under, around or through.
l don't know how it is DONE do you?
Most of us don't, but some of us do.
Over the Get-There road.
Who, then, cares to get to There2
Why, all, If truth be spoken.
Spite of each scornful gibe and sneer
There must offer heartsome cheer,
And can't be worse than being here
By many sign and token
Then ho for tramp on the well-worn track
Though rough as Whitman ode,
Or cruel as the Russian code,
Or long rs tho devils goad
Whatever 1t IS, there's nothing back
1t can't be worse than cul de sac,
SO grid up your loins, pick up your pack,
And hey for tho Get-There road

The business mon of Helena held n
timely and profitable conference at the
Board OF Trade rooms last evening.
They discussed tho situation in all its
bearings, exchanged wisdom and advice
and adjourned with the understanding
that all should pull together during
trying times, rs they have in tho past.
During the evening Mr.. e. w. knight
suggestively referred to tho condition OF
Montana il the banks had closed in upon
debtors ae they have suffered from the
onslaught of depositors. Surprising
this had been done, whore would the
state have been alongside those prosper
Gus rivals which she now leads? Is it
not now quite time to reciprocate,
to show appreciation for those ia
vors which have made prosperity for
SO many? Let loyalty to llelsnn and
an unselfish desire to benefit all be
shown by returning the boards Of idle
money to tho banks.

ment. The cause dates back to the do

Tina tho disease has progressed until
it has now reached the very heart OF

which has brought distress everywhere

III IL WEATHER..
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Helena is moving forward to her old
place as ono OF the first cities of the west
md IL will not be long before she will win
new laurels from the fates by the admirn-
BILE demonstration of her marvellous
powers Of recuperation. Butte Miner.
Right you are! Helena has won vic.
tories by fighting for them, and she will
win moro because her people are stay
ers. The city has not collapsed like its
doomed rivals, because it is built on
bed rock. There Is value to show for
every dollar invested. This is why she
shines supreme in the financial deluge,
and when it is all over Helena will drop
the distance flags on towns that have
depended upon initiation to attract new
corners
It is true that two banks have closed
and that business is quiet, but these con-
ditions prevail in almost every city in the
country. The difference is that they
feel the situation far more keenly than
the people of Helena. The outlook for
the future is gloomier in every other
northwestern city, because this is a sea-
Son for testing foundations, for examin-
ing the groundwork and inquiring into
promises made by over sanguine work
ers.
Helena can stand the test. She asks
inspection Of her claims as the chief
city and railway center Of Montana, she
invites critical examination of her build
ings, her schools, her railway system,
water works and all other adjuncts Of a
vigorous and growing municipality. She
points to her location rs the central
point of this empire Of resources and
she asks the reading Of her history of
enterprise and upbuilding. She turns
arguments. Helena is all right. Do
not forget that. She has been a winner
since the days when gold was washed
out on Main street, and she will be a
winner when her fiash-light rivals are
out of sight.
We mention these matters to remind
our people that there is no time like the
present to increase Helena's prestige.
While her rivals are struggling Helena
should be on the advance; there will be
no trouble at all in driving right ahead
il the depositors who drew money from
the banks will return it. When this is
done trade will resume its old current
of prosperity and there will be no COM
plants. The money, more of it than in
any city of five times its size-is right
here to talk when our people say the
word.
There never was a finer opportunity
to show the country how Helena stands
amid her rivals. Let US use it.

WILL CONGRESS DO IT'S DUTY4

The extra session Of congress to COM
memo tomorrow is likely to prove a
most %eventful period in the history of
couroe, signifies the importance. An
extraordinary session means a press
ing demand for extraordinary meas
ures at a critical season. 1t is never
called when there is a possibility of
avoiding it without injury to the public
welfare, since congress is supposed to
transact it's business during tho term
appointed. Extra sessions in the past
have been needed to make appropria-
tions, provide munitions of war, ratify
treaties and transact business which
could not be delayed but which did not
always concern the actual life of the
republic.
No extra session was ever called for
the purposes understood in the presi-
dents. recommendation; that is, to leg
islate for the general welfare of the
country's business at a time when pan
les threatened TO destroy tho value of
the greater part of all that has been &C.
cumulated. This is the general end; a
more definite end from one point OF
view is the unconditional repeal Of the
Sherman law, and from another and
better, the establishment of the free
coinage of silver upon a parity Of JIG to !
with gold.
No body of legislators ever met with
greater responsibilities. No issue-not
even q foreign war-ever bore n more
vital connection with the material vel
fare of every citizen. The result of a
gold standard will be further depriva-
ton to producers, further degradation
of labor, further division of classes, and
in all quarters where mon and women
toll for bread an increase of that dis
content which has already reached
alarming proportions. There is no guess
work in this prophecy. 1t is built on
the results of that sweeping sentiment
In the west and south which has taken
form in new organizations for Bolf pro-
lection against the small creditor class
