APPROACHED in such a spirit, 1t could be
settled on a basis which would give re-
newed confidence in the soundness OF our
currency. and drive away forever that
most depressing. insidious commercial III
uence, the fear of an unsound dollar.
IL is easier, my friends, to preach than
to practice. and we may well congratulate
ourselves that having taken part In the
victory we are able now to stand alcof
and cr!ticise those on whom the respon-
sibilties of victory have fallen. But l
think We all feel too seriously on this
question TO indulge in carping and critics.
ing Our feeling is rather to help and sup
port so long as the disposition Is manifest
on the part of those entrusted with power,
tol devote their energies Loyalty and i'm
partially to carrying out the peoples will.
In assuming that attitude: We are but
continuing the same patriotic attitude
which we assumed in the campaign. and
we are rejecting. as | believe, the wishes
and sentiments of the great majority of
citizens. The temper of the people will
not Justify trtling with grave interests,
and any attempt to use political power for
individual or party profit will be speedily
condemned, as 1t deserves to be.
If the Republican party proves itself
unable or incompetent to afford the relief
which the people demand the Democratic
party, reconstructed. reimbued with high
purpose, and appealing to public conii-
dence, will be called upon to take up the
work and carry 1t to successful termina-
tion. Honest and economical government,
no unnecessary governmental powers,
equal and just taxation, no special privi-
leges, the largest measure of personal lib
erty consistent with law and order, will
continue to be fundamental Democratic
doctrines, needing constant support and
vindication. Let us not be discouraged
therefore over the outlook of our party
If fr time 1t seemed to desert the peO-
pies interest. the desertion was unrea-
sonng and temporary. 1t will not be re-
peated No such blunder will happen
again. When the bitterness which that
election contest has provoked has died
away and people have forgotten political
hostilties in the returning industrial and
commercial prosperity, Democrats will
come together, and forgetting the past,
come only to the future, will coalesce
once more on fundamental DemocraNc
doctrines, inspired and equipped for long
years more of valent patriotic services
for the welfare of their country.

company of Philadelphia, was seen this
evening in reference to the story pub
lished in New York this morning that
the Metropolitan Traction people had

Philadelphia corporation. Mr.. welsh
said:
II know that there has been heavy
buying in Union Traction stock lately,
and the stories like that published in
New York have been in circulation. but
they were put forth for purpose. The
stories that the New York capitalists

foundation. The stock Is controlled by

rectors of the company"

day resigned the presidency of the Phil

Much Uneasiness and Unoer-
tainty Comes to the Surface.

Great Falls, Mont, Jan. 1s-The COM
missioners OF Choteau county have de-
clared war against County Attorney
Bowers. and the trouble has caused a
great sensation at Benton. In making
changes In the interior Of the court
house the commissioners invaded the
privacy OF the county attorneys office.
The latter protested without avail. but
after the change was made he locked
the doors and barred the commissioners
out. When the latter met in special
session a formal demand was made on
Attorney Powers for the keys to the
door communicating with his office, but
he refused to yield them and the fol-
lowing order was passed and placed in
the hands of Sheriff Mclaughlin to
serve:
State OF Montana, County of Choteau,

who remarked in a casual sort of way
that she had called to see about the place.
My friend, whom we will call Mrs. A,
to distinguish her from the other lady
meekly asked her to come In and the
put her through a list OF questions that
completely took away her breath. At the
end of this she remarked that she would
think II over and let her know the next
day IL she would take the place or not.
Mrs. A rather hoped she would decide
not to take IT, but realized that IL she
came II would be impossible to refuse to
receive her without battle. murder and
sudden death as the result.
Now, why should these things be? Why
should ii be impossible in a town the size
of Great Falls to get a competent servant
who is not utterly wanting I'm a sense Of
respect to her employer, to say nothing of
herself? People are ready and willing to
pay for work here. There is no place
where service is better paid, and surely
the work here is no harder than else
where. 1t seems impossible to obtain a
sensible American girl. They consider II
beneath them to go into service and would
rather stand day after day behind a
counter in a store wearing out their
health in order to be "salesladies" than
to cook, sweep and clean for their fellow
women. Many foreigners that we lavish
our money upon in order to induce them
to become our household treasures are
entirely ignorant of American cooking.
There are training schools for misses in
all large cities. Why would 1t not be
good plan for some benevolent woman to
start training school for servants and
try to induce good, respectable American
girls to enter it and obtain a thorough do
nestle education? Teach them not only
good plain cooking, but also the finer
branches of the art-how to make a table
attractive and to serve a dinner. Let
them learn cleaning. not how to run
broom over a room without taking up any
more of the dirt than they can help.
There are many things of just this sort
they should learn and then, indeed, they
would deserve the name of help" Just
now they should rather be called chin
drance." Housewife.
