he BUILDING OF TfE BRIDGE.

THE BUILDING OF TfE BRIDGE.
Robert Allitsen came to the old book
shop to see Zcrviah Holme before return
ing TO the mountains. He found him read
ing Gibbon. These two men had stood by
Bernardine's grave.
II was beginning to know her," the old
man said.
Il have always known her." the young
man said -eannet remember a. time
when she has not been part Of my life. "
She loved you," Zerviah said "She
was telling mo so the very morning when
you came"
Then, with a tenderness which was al
most foreign to him, Zerviah told Robert
Allitsen how Bernardine had opened her
heart to him. She had never loved any
one before, but she had loved the Disa-
greeable Man.
II did not love him because / was sorry
for him, she had said. II loved him for
himself"
Those were her very words
THANK you," said the Disagreeable
Man. And God bless you for telling me- "
Then he added:
There were some few loose sheets of
paper ON the counter. She had begun her
book. May have themt"
Zerviah placed them in his hand.
And this photograph, the old man
said kindly, Il will spare 1t for you"
The picture of the little thin, eager face
was folded up with the papers.
The two men parted.
Zerviah Holme went back to his Roman
history. The Disaereeable Man went back
to the mountains to live his life out there
and to build his bridge, a. we all do,
whether consciously or unconsciously. IL
II breaks down, we build 1t again.
I'VE will build 1t stronger this time"
we say to ourselves.
So we begin once more.
We are very patient.
And meanwhile the years pass.

VOTE nuyrRs AND yorr SELLERS.

Anaconda can't win the capital by fair
means. Win she dare attempt TO do IL
by foul? There is question OF patro-
tism at stake in this fight which every
honest man can see. Yet, no doubt,
many honest mon will vote for Ana
conda because it either 10 TO their inter
est to do it, or because they have been
made 10 believe il is. With the man who
votes according TO bis conscience no fault
can be found. But IL Anaconda secures
none but such votes she will miss ma
jorlty by long way. Helena and Mon
tana are not afraid of losing by any
such mems. Where tho danger lies 10
in the lavish expenditure Of money by
the great corporation and the absolute
purchHse ot votes. The Standard may

TIE ANACONDA noe.

The Standard Of Wednesday comes 10
us with a. sample Of what we have been
talking about relative to the gobbling-
up tendency OF one-corporation rule
II consists OF report OF the bills aud.
tied by the city council of Anaconda
the evening preceding. The bills al
owed amounted to sl,96152. or this
amount there was paid for police and
labor S63035, TO miscellaneous mer-
chants and others 1921, and to con-
Germs owned by tho great Anaconda
company sl,29423. ITow's this for
sample OF the Anaconda hog? Why,
you can almost hear him grunt II
suggests another way in which the Ana
conda company can got even on its
millionaire capital compslgn. II it gets
the capital, then the state government
will be in It's hands in about tho same
way the town government OF Anaconda
ls now In ito hands, and then when the
bills for state expenditures are audited
it will be found that the Anaconda com.
psny's concerns have about the same
proportion Of tho pie as they got in this
little swipe at the Anaconda city treas.
ury. Mark it again. For police md

would have had it, for the Anaconda

monn on ANAeoNnA rAorIrs

Anaconda is playing some strange
games in northwestern Montana tor
votes. Some timo ago 10 swell tho Ana
condn vote IN that section all the saw
mills wero given contracts for oil tho
lumber they could deliver on tho cars
up 10 November l5th-conditioned upon
delivering to Anaconda the solid vote OF
the mon employed. Everything started
of satisfactorily, and au immense guam
tity OF lumber was shipped. After
awhile cara became scarce, but on the
promise Of AnaeondA's representatives
that cara would bO forthcoming tho
mills continued 10 saw. But no moro
cars came This got TO bo oAasperating,
and Mr., DAILY was applied to personally
at ono OF hls trips into that section. He
laid the blamo on the Northern Pacific,
saying IL was not his company's fault
Aud so the matter stood until an inyes-
tigation was started from tho Missoula
end, when II was found that there
we're standing on the sidetrAcks at Ana
oonds and Butte, throe hundred and
four cars Of lumber, and that no effort
was being made TO unload them or pre-
pare for their unloading. The scheme
then became plain-to keep tho mills
saving and the men at work until they
had been voted, and then refuse to re-
ceive the vast quantities OF lumber
stocked up in the yard, upon tho plea
that the contract had not been filed,
that the lumber had not been delivered
on the cars as stipulated. Such are the
tactics Of Anaconda for the capital.

A So CALLED LABOR ENDORSEMENT


Now would not this kill you'll Here
comes the Anaconda Standard with all
seriousness and offers as evidence that
labor is In favor OF Anaconda, the pro-
ceedings OF meeting held in Anaconda
by the employees OF the Anaconda CON-
pany's smelter, the Anaconda company's
refinery, the Anaconda company's Cop
per City Commercial company, the Ana
oonda company's Standard newspaper,
the Anaconda company's Tuttle foun-
dry, the Anaconda compnny's Montana
hotel, and 80 forth and so on. With all
respect to the worthy men who attended
that meeting, we know and they know
that II they handn't attended II and il
they hadn't adopted resolutions as they
did, there would have been some vacant
places on the Anaconda company's pay
roll yesterday morning. In witness
whereof call 10 mind the Frenchtown
episode and many OF similar character
in the not for distant past.
But what we would like TO see would
be labor meeting at Butte in the same
behalf, and let the resolutions be signed
by all the men who attended, each man
nifixing with his name the name Of the
company no works for. That would
show whether this eo-oalled labor en-
dorsement is matter OF free will or the
result Of corporate rule. No doubt there
will be labor meeting in Butte to en-
dorse Anaconda, but when il is held, let
us know the names OF the men attend
ing and Of the company by which each
one is employed.
