The Barker Miner complains that
certain Neihart boys behaved them
selves rudely and heathenish at the
masquerade ball at Monarch, a thing
Barker boys would be ashamed to do.
We don't believe it. But assuming
for the sake of argument that they
did, the Miner should remember that
all rapidly growing towns naturally
have a tough element in their midst
and that, during our present boom, a
comparison between Neihart and
Barker is grossly incompatible.

Meagher County News: There is
reason in all things and the man who
expects to go through this world on
conclusions will undoubtedly be left
many times before the journey is
complete. The merchant who has
goods to sell and jumps at conclus-
ions that people must buy of him or
60 without is sure to learn at last
that suchlis not the case. The law
yer or doctor who rents a back room,
and expects to be known all over the
country without advertising is r
to be forgotten when services are
wanted. The mar who does business
without advertising in his home pa
per is a man with no interest in the
tewn's welfare, and who takes no
pride in seeing the papers reflect a
prosperous and growing picture of
the town and community in which he
hopes to gain a livelihood.
The newspaper is the mirror of en-
terprise and life of the community in
which it is printed, and the merchant
or business man who is too penurious
to patronize the medium by which
his prosperity is heralded to the world
is not loyal to the town, and is too
ungenerous to invite an outsider to
make his home here. 1t is this un-
generous and unpatriotic spirit that
has made the catalogue of cheap cas-
tern jobbery the Bible of every Mon.
tana ranchman. Those who expect
to be treated generously must them.

monopoly does not tend to build uI

played in advertising and assisting
