on the public mind. The writer shows
that we are stin living IN feudal times.
"rhe robbcr barons have disappeared.
but their descendants live In idle lux
ury while the children OF their victims
continue to pay them rent In many
forms"
Rarely now are violence and blood
shed prneticed although Carnegie shot
down his workmen by the hands Of
Pinkertons and the record OF Haggin's
Homestake company Is stained with
blood, other methods are usually em-
lployed, Votes are bought. legislatures
are corrupted skilled agents are hired
TO carry out the plans OF men organized
for purposes OF public plunder
Mr. Lloyd foroihly says: "As the sup
preston OF the robber knights was es-
sential 10 civilized society so In our
own industrial community the men who
acquire enormous possessions by cum
ming conspiracy may be regarded as
enemies OF civilization. Their work ls
plundcr. Their aim Is 10 appropriate
to themselves the wealth Of others
Their methods are but refined and
perfected robbery. They have obtained
vaster spoil than the robbers OF Eu-
rope In ten centuries"
The best thought OF the best men "
the times is directed to the checking Of
this alarming evil-the encroaehment
OF corporations upon free institutions.
1t is a gigantic problem which cannot
be solved except by great popular up
rising. That such uprising is near at
hand, all the signs Indicate. During the
recent railroad strikes Pullman and
Punmanism had no defenders among
the newspapers OF the United States.
Public sentiment would tolerate no de-
fense OF such iniquity.
Men of Montana, are you alone going |
TO sit with deaf ears and closed eyes
to what is going on around you?
Are you alone going to submit TO the
control of the corporation that is seek
ing TO purchase your seat OF govern
ment and to dictate your laws?
Are you alone going to say-the first
people in an American state to say ir:
I'VE are offered a million dollars for |
our state capital and we are going to
sell IT, We do not care what you peo-
pie do in other states; we do not care
for posterity; we do not care what you
think OF us; we are going TO get a mil
lion dollars and let our manhood 60?
Is that the message you are going
to send to the world next Tuesday?
We refuse TO believe 1t.

A Brief but Adequate Dissertation,

kissing girl at the gate would seem
to involve the most complex articles.
but, as we are told, it all depends.
In the first place it makes much diff
ference whether the kisser and the
kissee are together on one side of the
gate or are separated by that awkward,
teasing continuance. In the second
place, the temper Of the kissoe makes
all the difference in the world; if she
be- unkind no amount Of opportunity
shall move her, and suraly 10 courtly
and brave sutton will seek to obtain
by force that which his sweetheart de-
MES, meaning it.
Yet, as the true angler loves best
that prey for which he has to angle
longest and most cautiously, and as all
humanity prizes most highly that which
is secured by the severest eXertion,
SO the lover finds exceeding satisfaction
in the OSCILLATION snatched from the
pouting, Gliding lips of his half-rcsist-

ANOTHER ISLANDER CRUSHED
An Incident Showing That n Woman
: Knows How to Sharpen - Lead

An Incident Showing Ti,nt n Woman
Knows How to Sharpen "a Lead
Pencil.
Among what are supposed the few
universally admitted truths is this: A
woman cannot sharpen Il lead pencil,
1t seems to he almost what the min
isterial brotherhood would call unset
Ting" to say it, but this is not a truth
after all, even if it is universally adj
mitted; Il woman can sharpen lead
pencil. There is in far downtown
office charming young woman, as
many such there be in far downtown
offices. The other day visitor noticed
that her lead pencil was exceptionally
we'll sharpcned.
''Who sllarpens your lead pencils for
you:" inquired the visitor.
''Nobody-do it myself" answered the
young lady with great decision.
The visitor arched his eyebrows and
looked as incredulous as he knew how.
IF you don't believe it I'll sharpen
yours for you" said the young lady
with a note of defiance i'll her voice.
The visitor produced somewhat bat
tered-loolling pencil which he had just
borrowed from Il friend. She took it
in her left hand, with the point aimed
at the ceiling. and then from some
mysterious place in her desk produced
one OF the most formidable carpenters
chisels which it had ever been the lot
of the visitor to meet. 1t must have
been at least sixteen inches long, and
the blade could not have been less than
m inch and Il quarter wide. Without
the least hesitation she applied the
chisel to the pencil and began shaving
off slices Of wood around the point.
Before the visitor rcgained control of
his organs of speech she handed the
pencil back to him sharpencd better
than he could have done it himself.
Are we or are we not fit to vote?"
asked the young lady, archly.
Voter cried the astolished visitor.
"Why. you are fit to conduct ward
primary"
And the young lady put her chisel
away and smiled with superior air.
