claims to have gone into the fight with
Custer and escaped; very few believe his
story. The best informed people think
that Curley started into the battle with
Custer. but that his heart failed him in
time to get away. The story that White
Swan tells of a soldier going after water,
| is true; IL occurred in the Reno fight.
Sitting Bull told the wri er of a like deed
done by soldier under Contradictions
News.

Understanding that the state board of
education had decided to take no action
in the way of recommending text books
Tor adoption this summer, we last month
proposed that convention of teachers
and school officers be held and endeavor
to agree upon n list of good books. Since
that time the state board have decided to
take up the matter and their recommen-
dation will doubtless answer every pur-
pose. The committee, consisting of Pres
ident Reid. Mr.. Collins, Superintendents
Steere, Young and Hamilton are the

men upon whom we can rely to give us
the benefit of honest and reliable judg-
ment regardless of the pressure of various
book concerns. Other people have the
best modern tools and equipments for
their work and teachers should be equa ly
worthy.-Rockies Magazine.
There Is trouble ahead in Montana. We
are promised an active campaign for
woman's suffrage next year. and the pre-
liminary steps are already being taken.
lnstigated by the National Suffrage asso-
citation, Mrs. Emma Smith De Voc, who
ever she may be, has invaded the state,
and it is said that she will hold meetings
in every county, and will be followed by
more fair barbarians. They will organize
for the war and propose to carry 1t on
until a Legislature is elected that will
submit n suffrage amendment for the
voters to dcfeat.-Kalispell Inter Lake.
The Anaconda STANDARD has been easily
the first newspaper of Montana. 1t has
been brighter, crisper, newsler than any
of it's state contemporaries. 1t has COW
cred the state with its newsgathering
force in a manner that no other paper
has attempted. 1t is now improving still
more It's eNcelleut service, anu mas eil-
larged to the seven-column size, a change
that is to be permanent. The STANDARD
Office has been equipped with Mergen-
thaler type machines, which have taken
the place of the compositor in all the prin-
cipal offices of the country. With its new
improvements the Standard will be more
emphatically than ever the paper of the
sta e. -Kalispell Inter Lake.
There is no doubt that the editors will
have q regular old-fashoned monkey
and parrot time" at Billings, June 10, but
the galley slave and the devil will have

1t will not be easy for the average citi-
zen of Montana to become convinced that
there is more integrity in the legislature
OF his own state than there is in that of
tho union. Yet he will be forced to do SO
for so far in Montana no one has been
tried criminally for trading or offering to
trade his vote in an important measure,
not oven in cases where new counties
were to be carved out. Is there anyone
who doubts if vote trading had been
prevalent in the last Legislature ii would
have passed the eagle eyes of the late
Helena grand jury? No, a thousand
times no.-Livingston Post.
