not taken as "a sign of mental fcebleness

women themselves. a pretty gown, es-
pecially if 1t be rather dashing, wins two
thirds of the admiration hat a woman
fancies is all inspired by her own person

marked of her sol and his wife that ''hc
fell in love with her clothes" and she told
the truth. Tho wife had neither beauty,
wit, education nor affection to make her
desirable, but she had a fashionable figure
and excellent taste in dress. Eight men
out of ten find such woman more attract

men and women both like becoming dress,
why not accept it as a general fact rather

The Hoganites Leave Fort Benton in
Fiatboats.
The following is from the Fort Benton
Press of Tuesday evening:
Today the Hogan industrial army, in
their ten large fiat boats, started on the
long journey down the Missouri river.
81 route to Washington, where the vari-
Gus Coxey armies expect to assemble in
September. The boats were the Butte,
Helena, Livingston, Bozeman, Great
Falls, Free Silver, Hogan, Fort Benton
and others. The crafts were all highly
decorated with flags and bunting, the
Fort Benton being especially cared for
In this line by the boys Of Fort Benton,
who literally covered the boat with bunt-
ing and q score Of flags.
Three hundred and forty men were
with the army when it started, and the
boats, built under the direction Of Mr..
Sprague seem perfectly safe. The cook
boat, 48xl0 feet, has a large brick over
built upon the floor, and contains al
most q carload Of provisions.
Monday evening the Hogan men pa
raded the streets, and were addressed
In front Of the Grand Union hotel by
Lawyer T. ". Murphy, after which q
collection was taken up to purchase TO-
bacco, as a result 120 pounds were con-
tributed for use on the trip.
All forenoon the wind was blowing a
gale against the north bank Of the Mis-
souri,, and it was decided not to attempt
the start today; but this afternoon the
wind partially subsidized, and at Ais the
last Of the provisions we're put on board,
the skiffs made fast to the boats, and
the latter started on their trip. From
Fort Benton they intend going to the
mouth Of the Missouri. thence down the
Mississippi to Cairo, and there secure q
steamboat to push them up the Ohio
river to Pittsburg, Pa. In all, Their
water trip, as now contemplated, will be
over 5000 miles in length,

THE SUN DANCE.

A Short Talk with President Enright Re-
gar.ing the Governors Proclamation,
A TRIBUNE representative interviewed
President Enright Of the North Montana
Racing association Tuesday regarding
Gov. Richards proclamation forbidding
the sun dance, and he replied as follows:
II have not seen, as yet, the governors
proclamation. I am satisfied matters
have been misrepresente ted to him.
Whether the sun dance comes of or not,
the races will be held; the entries are ali
filed, and purses will DO paid to winners
as advertised. The horses are all in
prime condition, the race track cannot
be equalled, and we intend to give the
members Of the Montana Press associa-
ton a series Of races which will not be
surpassed in the ensuing circuit races

AN OPEN LETTER.
Rev. X. Mcclellan Ramsey Defines His PO-
siiiOn on the Sun Dance Question.

Rev. X. Mcclellan Ramsey Defines His Po-
si,ion on the Sun Dance Question.
DEAR FRIENDS: AS I am being quoted
on either side Of the question of the sun
dance, permit mt to express my views
plainly. l highly approve Of the govern
or's proclamation forbidding it and have
not changed my views since l signed my
name to the letter to the governor.
AS to my visit to the Indian
camp, it was not to learn from the In
dams anything about the sun dance, but
to tell them Of our Savior's life and re.
demption work. Surely no minister OF
the gospel Of Christ can ask the Indian
to turn from idolatry and the worship
Of God by any image of anything 10
heaven or earth and then encourage sun
worship. Moreover, l hardly think it in
accordance with the golden rule for ue
to gain profit and pleasure from the In
dian during his visit among us and then
kick the fiddler from our door after he
has played his tune. AS to what is best
for the prosperity of our town, | am a
poor judge. That may be left to the
business men of the town. l settle all
these questions by the rule that what ia
right is best though it bring present dis
tress. and | can not see that the sun
dance is right in the sight Of God.
My friends in these matters, however,
are placing my opinion too high. Most
certainly l am a poor source of authority
for any of the leaders on either side OF
the question, much less one who could
give counsel to the governor. My breth.
eIen in the ministry in Great Falls may
be- taken as much better guides in these
matters than a lad fresh from his books
o is it any compliment to me to say
that l examined the question before ]
answered it. One need not see murder
to forbid killing; one need not see adul
terry to forbid lust; one need not see the
sun dance to forbid idolatry. II We
wish to see what is black in the worlc
let us accustom ourselves to what il
white. AS the Indian loves to exhibi,
his worship to us may we learn a lessor
Of taking more pride and pleasure in oul
own. II. MCCLELLAN RAMSEY.

tune Is one of the most artistic and becom.
ing in the world, wear trousers, but over
them wear a long clinging skirt that trails
upon the floor. 1t is usually only women
of the laboring classes in any of the coun-

excellence for strictly utilitarian purposes,
and the fashion if generally adopted would
be a great relief to hardworking women
But il reformers expect to succeed in max
ing it really fashionable they will probably
find themselves very much out Of their
reckoning, for fashionable women are not
inclined to adopt any extreme novelty in
garments the only recommendations OF
which are comfort and convenience.
By all means let women who wish or
whose business requires them to wear trou-
sers do SO. But all attempts to force the
custom upon women as a mass, either by
ridicule or moral coercion, will meet with
failure. The days Of sumptuary laws are

what we like II we can get 1t.

The Abandoned Farm MYTH,

A writer in The Century Magazine set
out to find an abandoned farm in New
England. He did not succeed. Nobody
acquainted with the facts expected he
would. Farms are offered for sale, and
some al be bought for less than their
real value, just as other property can be
secured elsewhere, but the prevailing
idea that farms of value can be obtained
for a song is a pure Pigment of the i'm
agination.
In most cases where farming il New
England does not offer a fair equivalent
for the toll and capital invested the fault
is with the farmer. He has not used his
brains to good advantage, and in some
cases he has been reluctant to use his
hands. The farmer who pursues the
same methods as his grandfather did will
not get satisfactory results; neither will
the manufacturer nor the merchant.
There is very little land in New England
that cannot be titled with a resultant
fair profit, provided it be put to the best
use. But it does not pay to grow that
which there is no demand for, nor that
which a be raised 80 per cent cheaper
elsewhere.
