ADMIRAL SCHLEY was in com.

troyed the Spanish feet at Santi-
ago, July 3, 1898. Admiral Samp-
son was not in the fight, and did
not arrive within range until after
the Spanish ships had been des-
troyed. And yet, President Nc
Kinley and Secretary Long took
special care to send letters to Ad-
miral Sampson, July 3. congratu-
lating him over his victory" OF a
year before. These high officials
are badly mistaken when they i'm

circumsta noes and events OF recent

strongly the trend OF public senti'
ment as to true temperance and
as to the liquor question in gen

Years ago we had the Crusaders
and then the Francis Murphy
Temperance movement. and from
the Developments OF these affairs it
became evident to some shTewd
and unprincipled schemers that
the question presented great oP-
portunitieS tor money making
The deep interest manifested BY
the people in general, the sacrifices
made for the advancement OF the
cause Of temperance, and over
and above all the liberal donations
OF money, made it clear that there
was involved in the agitation
almost endless opportunity to
gather in the shekels. And so IN
various guises alleged temperance
agitators have gone over the
country, taking up collections tor
one society or another. making
all kinds Of Misrepresentation as
to the ultimate disposition oi the
money, endeavoring to corral the
church vote and make the pul pit
a political rostrum, and, worst OF
all, engineering political deals OF
every nature Tor stated money
considerations and in which the
temperance question was only
mentioned as a blind, no actual
benefit to the cause ever having
been accomplished through these
methods.
The Francis Murphy temper
ance movement was conducted
upon the correct plan. 1t was
founded upon proper and plausible
principles. 1t recognized man
hood as the essential trait of tenn
perate citizenship. Reason was
appealed 10 and honor recognized
and depended upon. Moral sua-
sion was the means for separating
the white sheep from the black.
Men who would listen to tair aTgu-
ment, who would acknowledge the
wrong and evil of incorporate
drinking and drunkenness, and
who desired to avoid indulgence
in either, were only asked to pledge
themselves to either the moderate
and temperate use of beer and light
wines, or to total abstinence, as
they might choose. Once pledged
to the observance OF either rule
their manhood and honor were de-
pended upon as the safeguard and
they were given every possible
encouragement and aid in their
efforts to keep their pledge invio-
late.
Upon this principle Of personal
responsibility must all true moral
reform be wrought.
1t is sadly true that this truth
has been entirely lost sight Of or
purposely ignored by the alleged
temperance agitators OF more re-
cent times, but it is still fact that
truth will assert supremacy event
ually, regardless Of all obstacles,
and so we find the mercenary pro-
moters OF revenue raising schemes
relegated to oDscurity and the
forces OF true moral reform forging
to the front.

Gov. Smith and Staff Will Go to San

Gov. Smith has announced that hp
intended to meet the returning First
Montana infantry at San Francisco
and welcome them in the name of
the state. He will be accompanied
by several members Of his staff, and
probably by other prominent Mon
taniaDs. The governor directed no.

Col. Thomas McTague. of Deer

hoped that others would be able to

CHANGING STOCK ASSESSMENTS.
The State Board Seeks a Lawsuit by an
Attempted Raise Of the figures.
Helena Herald.l

The state board of equalization Is
today doing the same figuring and
calculating as to the rates of assess
ment to be placed upon live stock in
order to make the rate uniform as
predicted in last nights Herald. The
board has fixed one price for sheep
and cattle, and will ask that county
boards follow the same.
The change will no doubt result in
a snit being brought in the courts to
test the action of the state board.
As the boards action is in violation
OF the famous decision uf the supreme
court. to the effect that no increase
can be made without a correspond
ing decrease, there will probably be
an interesting time in the courts be-
fore the matter il finally adjusted.
The board had decided upon the
following figures for sheep and cat
tie: Stock sheep $2.75, rams So, lambs
1925 when owned without other
sheep. otherwise $2 70. Cattle-Year-
lings SIG, stock cattle and two-year-
olds $22.5O, three-year-olds $50, beef
cattle $40.
The board had not reached lands.
These have so many inequalities in
assessment that a uniform ASSESS
ment will probably be agreed upon.
II put into effect the percentage Of
raises in Fergus county would be as
follows: Yearlings, y per cent; stock
cattle. 10 per cent; stock sheep, 10 per
cent; lambs, 51k per cent.
