The Railroad club met Tuesday even
ing in the usual place, and after short
business session the boys drifted into
"shop" conversation. The fast run of
the general managers S special from Hope
to Missoula was commented on, and
the talk on fast runs became general.
Several stories of remarkable time made
on different occasions were related, and
when the blond brakeman got the floor
he saw he was expected TO break the rec

Speaking of fast runs" said he,

wanted our train to get to Garrison just

clear track when we started, and il
wasn't long before the telegraph poles
locked like picket fence The biggest
burst of speed was reserved for the
home stretch-from Deer Lodge to Gar

Lodge, but as we approached that place
the engineer sounded the whistle as
usual, and you may take my head for a
football if the slow sign in the Garri-

For over two years the Capital
has persistently sounded IA warn
ing note to the Indians. IT has
said that the time had passed to
argue the right and the wrong of
the questions at issue; that the
only thing to do was to recognize
the fact that the time for change
had come; that the sentiment in
the states would soon compel it,
and to make the best of the situa-
tion. These words were not
prophesy. They were spoken from
knowledge of sentiment. Many
Choctaws became offended at the
editor, and charged him with
being an enemy to the Indian.
They only mistook his motive. He
had no desire except that they
should have all that was theirs.
That his knowledge of sentiment
was accurate is shown by the tone
of recent dispatches from Wash
ington. The members of the
Dawes commission have been mott
fed that they will be shortly called
to Washington to give their per
sonal views to congress. The
Presidents attitude is the reverse
of what it was at the last congress.
Then he was inclined to hold back.
Now he will urge legislation. The
Cherokee delegates have called on
the President twice in the last two
weeks. and what they heard as
tOnished them. One of them said:
/ think the tide here is all against
us, and that the best course for us
is not to struggle against it, but
to float along with it, trying to
steer so as to receive the least
damage to our own interests. -

one seems to realize the i'm
portance of patronizing a home
paper. When some men are SOL
icted for subscription, they will
say they are taking more papers
than they can read. If You ask
them what papers, they will men
ton three or four Chicago papers,
two or three from st. Louis, and
probably some from Memphis or
New York. And at the same time
they never give a thought to their
home paper But when they
want notice of a relative visiting
them, if they entertain their friends
with ice cream and music; if the
patter of little feet is missed about
the house, they dom find it in
st. Louis papers. but the poor
struggling home editor allows a
place in his heart and paper to
offer consolation. If they aspire
to public Office, the first thing they
do is to hunt up the home editor
and pat him on the back, and he,
poor fool, eats the taffy, pays the
price and calls for more. The
success of newspaper is a necess-
ity in a town and cannot fail to do
good. Let every one try to ap-
preciate the good it does and will
do, and discharge his whole duty
unselfshly toward his home paper.
