DANCING IN CHURCH.
Rev. J. W. Petrie Approves of II and
Had a Stage Built.

Chicago Correspondence in Philadelphia
Press.
There is trouble in the Episcopal church
of Our Savior on Fullerton avenue. The
Rev. ]. w. Petrie. rector for twenty-five
years. allows dancing in the church, and
under the chancel are regular stage
dressing rooms. The stage was built
under his personal supervision.
"Of course, there was opposition to
scenery and real footlights,'' said DR.
Petrie. but / just told the young people
to come and enjoy themselves Not only
that, hut l allow them to hold dances here
and / remain all the evning until the last
couple goes home. Some of my people
came to me and declared that there should
be no dancing. l told them that as long
as they allowed dancing in their homes /
would permit it in the church. Some Of
them got angry and left the church. but
/ could not help that"

the owner of large share of the site

The Boz man Chronicle has come to
She conclusion that Tom Carter is not
only willing but ANXIOUS to be great
man. 1t has outlined his career and de-
cided that he will be cabinet officer
and vice president and can only be kept
out of the presidency because of his re-
ligion,
It is too bad that Tom Carter cannot
reach the chair Of the chief executive be-
cause Of his religion. Come to think OF
it, this is the first time that we have ever
heard of Tom Carter being accused of
being guilty of having any religion or
any other principle that would be per-
snitted to interfere with his political as
pirations. We are not in the confidence
of Tom just at this time, but take it
upon ourselves to say that when it comes
to question of Office Tom can no doubt
be proselyted.

In the state of Washington it appears
that the question of text books for the
public schools is attracting some atten-
tion and comment and that it is not al
together favorable. For instance, the
Spokane Chronicle says:
1T is well that the now text books for
the public schools are being sharply crit
icisod at their first introduction that
the teachers, knowing the faults, may
avoid or remedy them more easily. For
example the Biographies appear to be
woefuily weak in the descriptions Of
Washington, but that will not prevent 4
wideawake teacher from seeing that her
pupils obtain correct ideas from other
sources.
From criticisms offered ia this state it
seems that the same fault is apparent
regarding the geography of Montana as
found in the books. The proposition Of
the Chronicle that the teachers should
correct these errors is wrong. Books
that are SO manifestly incorrect should
be thrown out of the list. There is nc
room for them.

WHO Is GUILTY?

In the annals of criminal trials the
declaration of the counsel for Durrant
that Pastor Gibson of the Emanuel
church and not Durrant is guilty of the
inhuman murder of Blanche Lamont
will stand out in bold relief The audac
ity of the charge is nearly as remarkable
as is the delay in making it. For nearly
three months the trial has been in prog
ress and if either the accused or his
lawyers have any evidence connecting
the pastor with the awful crime the peo-
pie will be apt to wonder at the delay in
making it public. The accusation is
sensational in the extreme, but how it is
to aid the cause of the prisoner unless
supported by proofs is the question that
will arise in the minds of the pub.
lie. 1t will be remembered that
at the time Of the discovery Of the
murder Esuspicion was directed toward
Pastor Gibson, but he withstood the
searching inquiry of the police authori-
ties and had presumably lived down the
suspicion. He has remained in the city
during the trial and it is to his credit
that the detectives laugh down the mon
strous claim Of the attorney. There
have been many times, however, when
the detectives have shot far from the
mark and made the most serious of mis-
takes. This may be one of them. In
the meantime the preacher is at liberty
and an expectant and morbid public will
await developments. What the people
ask and demand is that all the power of
the state shall be utilized to discover
and punish the murderer whoever he
may be.

PRISON LABOR.

A few days ago The TRIBUNE had oc.
casion to make few remarks upon the
question Of prison labor that were
brought forth by the talk that Judge
DuBoee made to the condemned prison
er. Cadotte. In line with the speech OF
the judge and the comment of THE
TRIBUNE comes the New York World
with the following apropos editorial:
in Germany also they are wrestling
with the problem of prison labor and the
competition of it's products with those
of free labor In the ready made cloth
ing trade certain markets are flooded
with garments which are made at the
rate of Sl.10 for whole suit of clothes;
six prisons stand ready to supply all Ger
many with knitted goods, one prisoa
running eighty, seven machines. The
United German Basket Makers are in
despair over the way prison labor is
crowding them to the wall
But the baskets and the knitted
S''''' 'l 7|i1l ui'iottNi w dll lutiJIS, e'
there is hope for those trades. 1t is
preposterous, however, to imagine that
the ready-made clothing of Germany
could ever be consumed in any other
country or by any other people. In
white countries they have no notions of
style that would interfere, while the
EsquimauX prefer furs and the Pata-
gonlans would not know how TO put the
garments on. No doubt a professor
could be sent with every package and
thus provide a Dew market for one OF
Gcrmany's best products.
''Eycry civilized state has this prob
lem of prison labor on its hands, and
every state is somewhat puzzled how TO
deal with it. Nobody is satisfied, and
Workingmen least Of all, with the no
ton that criminals shall be supported in
idlcness by taxes levied upon an indus
trious people, and yet it is difficult tc
give prisoners any occupation that does
not at last put free labor al the disatl-
vantage Of competition with prison labor
Perhaps the broad common sense Of the
Germans may show US d way out Of the
difficulty now that they have taken VI
the question in earnest -

liable. 1t seems unreasonable, however,
that the great house of Rothschild would
make such purchase or investment,
the sum named for the one-fourth being
Sh500,OOO. AS part of the rumor it
was given out that Hamilton Smith, an
English expert, had been sent to Butte
to examine the properties and that
upon his report it would be decided
whether the deal for the remaining three
fourths would be closed. The gentle
man named is now in Butte, but he is
as dumb as an oyster in regard to his
business The most that he could be
induced to say was that he would exam
inc the Anaconda mines if the owners
would permit him. 1 may be that there
is sale pending, for there has long been
desire upon the part of English cap
italists to control the copper market, and
this purchase would beyond question
place them in that position. Why the
present owners should be induced to part
with their wonderful property is not ap-
parent. Still it may be that they will
be willing to do so if they get the
price. The TRIBUNE hopes that no such
sale will be made. Of course no matter
who owns them the properties must be
operated but it is far better for the state
that they should be continued under the
present liberal manapamnnt

may be.

AT Stevensvile the horticultural asso-
citation only few days ago completed a
successful fair and Missoula followed
suit with a county fair which concluded
yesterday. Both events were worthy of
the great Bitter Root valley. They were
typical in every sense of the word and
displayed with excellent effect the re-
sources Of western Montana and especial
ly OF that valley. Reports state that
both the fairs were well worthy of the
state and were in all respects up to high
water mark. We congratulate our west
side citizons upon the success which at.
tended their efforts. They are entitled
to congratulations.
1t is, however, in order to remark that
the Cascade county fair begins next
Tuesday and that it will be the boss of
all that have been held. The exhibits
will be more varied and greater than
those of any other county and this is
saying great deal. In addition to the
exhibits there are list of attractions that
will discount all similar gatherings ever
held in the state The Cascade fair will
be the greatest of them all and don t
make any mistake about it.

The Irish American patriots at their
