DEMOCRACY AND PROTECTION,

The prosperity enjoyed by the wool
growing sections of Montana is ar elo-
quent rebuke to the free trade democracy
of this state. It was only a few short
years ago that Senator-elect Clark, Gov
ernor Smith, Major Maginnis and numer-
GUS lesser lights of the democracy pa
raded this state from center to circum-
ference preaching the gospel of free wool.
With all the eloquence n energy at
their command they tried to persuade the
people that the protective tariff was In
abomination and a curse. They declared
that the only way to secure good prices
for Montana wool was to throw down the
bars and admit foreign woods free of
duty, as the sale of the local product was
contingent upon an ample supply of the
foreign article to mix with it. This doc
trine was preached in every section of
the state, and emphasized with brass
bands and fireworks. None Of these elo-
quent gentlemen have Travelled over the
same territory to apologize to the people
because their arguments didn't work.
Under the democratic Wilson bill the
price of wool dropped below the average
cost of production, while under the Ding
ley bill, incomplete as it was, it attained
it's present status of prosperity. Not
w~ithstarding the visible evidences of the
value of protection, afforded by the pro-
duction of wool and lead in this state,
the democracy stands ready to introduce
it's shelf-worn principles Of free trade
upon the requirement of power.
For prudential reasons in this state the
party leaders of that political organiza-
ton refuse to discuss the course which
the democracy intends to pursue relative

WHEN VIRTUE TRIUMPHED.

There was a man who tried to do

He held that being rich was not
AS fair as being good;
Sly tempterS tried to pull him down..
Ihelr schemes were all in vain;
He would not turn from righteous WAYS
For power or for gain.

by men OF evil minds:
He passed unsmirched through troubled
scenes
II many various kinds;
Where others would have faltered he
Still held to honor's course,
~Unhlndered by ~chicanery,
Unterrified by force.
He was a good man through and through,
"A better never was;
He always scorned unlawful means,
No matter what the cause;
With honor as his ~watchword he
Pursued his righteous way, -
And won out at the end, but, ah!
This man was in a play.

ANNIVERSARY DAYS.

One of the strongest and healthiest con-
1ributions to modern civilization is the
proper observance Of anniversary days.
In the hurry and hustle of business life
the mind has little leisure for reflection
along the lines suggested by the occasion
that is publicly commemorated, and
gradually their significance would fade
away were it not for the demonstrations
that take place. The more closely the
programme for a national holiday APP
proaches the ideas to be revived and
cherished. the better the effect upon the
public mind.
independence on the Fourth of July par
takes of the nature of a grand jollifica-
ton over the signal victory achieved by
our forefathers. Without the booming
of cannon and the display of fireworks.
and patriotic oratory Of the old school,
it would scarcely meet the requirements
of the occasion. With these features the
celebration serves it's purpose we'll as a
reminder Of the days when our liberties
were so dearly purchased by the heroes
of the revolutionary war.
Thanksgiving day brings to the heart
a different set Of emotions. Instead of
rejoicing over the events that made pos
sible the national independence of the
American people, we are taught to appre-
ciate the blessings that have followed in
it's train, and to feel a deep sense Of graf
itude for the prosperity that may come
to us as the years of our national life
roll by.
On Memorial day still another key is
touched in the emotional nature of man,
and from the very depths Of the human
heart should arise the sublimest senti-
ments of patriotism. To revive the mem

tai of appreciation and love. It is to
crystalline a sentiment into an entity,
as it were, and install it like a goddess,
to be wo~rshipped forever in the temple
of thought.
This is a day to which every good citi-
zen should give Jealous approval, for
is true in loyalty, all that is grand in the
heroic history of the noble dead. This
is a day that brings in vivid pictures to
the consciousness of man the value Of
freedom when measured by the awful
cost of war.
The soldiers grave over which the
salute is fired today is but one of the
many sacrifices which humanity has
made upon the altar Of the worlds anx-
iety to be free. The little mound of
earth is but a tiny monument to the
memory of one who died for a principle
that will live while liberty is the guiding
star Of human progress, but We're all

they would max a mountain that would
kiss the passing clouds. The tears of
mankind would fructify it's sacred soil
till the lilies bloomed upon it's snowy
rise like incense to the throne Of God.
Within the bosom of such a mountain
would rest the heartaches Of the world.

II DEWEY FUND.

The position taken by the Inter Noun
tain against raising a Dewey fund is
quite generally approved. One of our ex-
changes illustrates the idea with a pic
ture of a man passing a hat for pennies.
the tile being labeled For Dewey" The
suggestion that a purse be raised for the
great admiral was first made by the sem
sational yellow journals of the east,
which cited numerous precedents show
ing that the heroes of the old world had
frequently been rewarded in this man
ner. To the discredit of American insti-
tutions it may also be said that several
prominent citizens Of this country have
had a commercial value placed upon
their fame.
Whatever there is of personal value in
the reputation acquired by Admiral
Dewey, it is entirely disassociated from
the idea of pecuniary compensation; and
whatever of public value there may be in
the great achievement that v him
fame, it must be placed above the con-
sideration Of dollars and cents. The value
of the worlds applause for a meritorious
act rests in the u~ntarnished legacy of
fame which a man may enjoy while liv-
ing and b%equeath to posterity at his
death. The public value of a great act
rests in the precedent established-the
example set. ssTer
When the opportunity presents itself,
the commodore of the future will seek
to emulate or out-rival the achievement
of Dewey in Manila bay. just as he out
stripped Farragut and Perry and Paul
Jones in the supreme ~audacity of his
courageous attack upon the foe. Let it
not be said hat the hero of the future
is to be actuated, not by a desire to I'M
selfishly serve his country in it's hour of
peril, but by the hope that his grateful
countrymen will out-do themselves in
heaping riches upon him as a reward Of
merit.
Heroism is robbed of it's virility when
men risks their lives merely for the per-
sonal rewards in dollars and cents which
they may hope to receive. Freebooters
and pirates and brigands have given the
world shining examples of heroism and
bravery in their bloodthirsty appetite for
gold. But woe to a land of patriots when
it's naval and military achievements are
brought down to the level of an invest
ment of that type. There is something
lofty and grand and sublime in an act of
heroism involving the risking of ones
life in the discharge of duty, where no
pecuniary hopes of a personal nature
serve as the incentive.
It would be unjust to Admiral Dewey
to dim the lustre of his fame by the
proffer of gold. It would lessen the adj
| miration of posterity to have it said that
the hero of the future emulated his ex-
ample in the hope of securing, like him,
a tender of wealth. The American peo-
pie cannot afford a precedent of that
kind; they cannot afford to rob glory Of
it's virtue and fame of the noblest of it's
attributes. Admiral Dewey, as modest
as he is brave, will scorn the efforts of
the yellow newspapers to- make him the
unwilling target of public charity.

five feet long from tip to tail, he swell
ed and tapered in the most perfect lines
of beauty. Smooth, though sealy, and
inky black, tartaned all over with
transverse rows of bright yellow spots,
with eyes that glittered like fire and
teeth like quartz, with his fOrked tongue
continually flashing out from his bright
red mouth, he had wild, weird lowell
ness that was most uncanny.
