a Few New Phases of the Issue
AS 1t Presents Itself
to the World.
THE STATE PRESS ON THE SUBJECT.
A Few Excerpts from the Lead
ing Papers of This Flour
ishing State.

The people of Neihart are not do.
ing anything particularly in the com.
pany store matter, except to stand
Oh their resolution like little men.
There is nothing else to do. The
agitation is over. The subject has
been discussed and right conclusions
have been reached. AS to how long
the company store will stay, no one
can answer. But that it will event
ually 90, no one can question. 1t
will go just as all the rest of us
would have gone had we allowed it
full latitude to exercise itself. But
it's days are numbered; its sands are
run, and it will soon gather up its
measly carcass, and ego glimmer-
ing with the things that were and
are not"

that strong fortress of justice, that
mighty imminent of our priceless
liberties, keeps hammering away at
the subject, advertising to the world
that corporate rule shall not exist in
the towns of Montana. And thus,
from the noble fight made by our
citizens, will emanate great revul-
sion throughout the country against
similar evils, till the company store
will virtually go into history as one
of the threatened hoodoos to modern
prosperity, which the people would
not endure.
