THE TRIALS OF YOUTH.

You may talk of the joys OF happy school
days.
You may sing of the pleasure of youth;
May enlarge on the freedom OF childhood
from care
And your words have measure of truth
IT'S true we are free from the burden of care
That on parents so heavily press:
That our minds are not worried with having
to plan
How to gain our food shelter and dress
But our elders must own that one trial
they're spared
And & burden that by no means is Light
For whatever else they may be required to

And my spirits go down like brick

To fold them up primly 5 not grace,

And stammer. and pause in alright,
And wish that the floor of the rostrum would

Now you see how it is that the trials Of youth
Render childhood not always inviting,

lures will seek to do such foolish

All of us observe social phenomena
for the existence of which none of us
can give any satisfactory reason.
Many of these phenomena are most
threatening in their nature and in the
extent o. their influence, and SO marked
have they become that they attract
the attention of our most profound
thinkers, many of whom have well
defined fear that the exigencies of the
times call for the exercise of wisdom,
patience and courage as never before
in the history of man.
Still we find mortals who flippantly
assert that all our ills are superficial
and that the exercise of industry, en-
terprise and frugality will restore
harmony when we konw that the eX-
ercise of these traits but srgment and
intensity the dangers which now men
ace us.
In view of the inherent truth of
these facts, it behooves us to make an
honest, unprecedented search for a
solution of the problem in which soci-
ETY., and every individual of society,
is so vitality interested.
The old methods and the old instru-
mentalities are no longer efficacious,
and silly indeed must be the man who
would longer look to the past for the
secret that is to free us from dire dis
aSter.

If a highwayman should hold you
up with a gun and take your spare
change, you would get excited and so
soon as you were sure that he was
gone you would want to get crowd
together and capture him, but when
the same thing IS done by the silent
processes of unjust law you smile and
yield and vote to continue the process
and it is continued.

Evidently the Fillipinos have heard
of that old moss back American who

They are seeking liberty and the

the world the beauties of benevolent
assimilation"

Suddenly there was great excitement
and the democratic party was seen
rushing towards the past, shouting
down with trusts" and the republican
party followed in hot pursuit exclaim-
ing them 'smy sentiments the silver
republican and other pseudo reform
parties came rushing on, wildly crying
down with trusts.
But the socialists kept straight
ahead with their faces to the future
and with a firm tread and confident
look which astonished all the other
parties. They turned pale, trembled
and drew together, saying: why
such tirmness and ASSURANCE on the
part of these cranky socialists" and
they vowed to join forces against the
onward march of this new party.

1t is very cruel for the people to con-
tinue to select their best men for the
legislature and for important offices.
Such action results in a continuous
drain upon the exchequers of the var
ious trusts, who must have favorable
legislation or the favorable in
terpretation of such legislation;
they cannot get such tavors without
paying for them and the better the
man in these various positions the
more they have to pay.

When the people fully realized that
the negro was wronged they found
means to free him from the letters of
chattel slavery, but NOW oil toilers
are wronged, they are robbed, and
slowly the people are awakening to a
consciousness of this fact. Can you
doubt the result? Did any nation
ever foster injustice and prosper?
Chattel slavery was once legal, but
the legality did not make it just, nor
can the fact that the toilers are now
plundered legally make it just to rob
them so.

The Price of Wool.

With wool at better than Is cents
there is still some dissatisfaction
among the wool growers, says the Milk
River Eagle. There is no doubt that
the buyer takes every advantage he
can of the seller. but on the whole This
seasons price ought to be satisfactory
to the wool men. With the mainten-
ance of fair and equitable tariff on
wool. there is no reason why the price
should not be permanently maintained
a or above the present figure. At the
present price there is good margin of
profit to the grower, and their constant
effort should not only be to maintain
this years prices by a just tariff rate,
but by improving the grade of their
clip. No industry should depend on
legislative aid alone.

WHAT THE PRESS OF MONTANA
FINDS TO TALK ABOUT

Some of the papers and residents of

the Dillon Examiner. He has been
charged with aisreEardne the recon-
mendations OF the supeIiCv ltficprs of

lutely no foundation for any of the as

stoned officers have in every instance
been promptly and implicitly complied
with whenever made. In two or three
instances, where no recommendation
were presented him. Governor Smith
has exercised his own prerogatiVe and
judgment. which was certainly the
proper course Cor him to pursue. Fair
minded persons, those who are not to-
tally blinded by partiSanshIp and preju-
dice. should examine Governor Smiths
with that of other governors and of the
president At the outbreak of thu war
Governor Smith commissioned almost
all of the national guard officers who
volunteered for war service and filled
the many remaining vacancies in the
complement of the regiment with the
best and most competent and expert
enCed men to be found. Neither poll
teal, social or other influences we're "a
determining factor in the selection OF
these officers. Fitness was the only
test. This policy is in marked contrast
with that prevailing in other states
and in Washngto, where political or
social pull were the only effective
means of securing volunteer appoint
ments. 1t is due to the governor that
these facts be presented to the careful
consideration of the people of Beaver
head county. Let them examine the
roster of officers of the Montana regi-
ment and convince themselves that it
contains men of all political parties
and from all walks in life. The mag
nificent record made by the Montana
regiment in the Philippine campaign
is due in part at least, to its fine body
of officers. who We're chosen for their
ability to command and take care of
their men. Governor Smith and his
many friends may justly feel proud of
this unassaiiable record.

The Montana Regiment.

There are now several transports in

them. If they do not sail for home Till
some time in September it will be the
middle of November before they get to
their homes, and coming as they do
from the warm and humid climate of
Manila to face the great change PRE-
scented by a Montana winter. it would
not be strange if their health might
suffer. 1t is many months since the
declaration of peace with Spain and thu
expiration of the term of service of
those who volunteered for the Spanish
war. 1t seems as though the admins
tration owes it to these men to get
them home with some lrOmptitude. and
in any event there should be no faVOrit-
ism about the matter. Political pulls
have worked enough injustice to the
soldier boys already in the letting of
contracts and the appointing of high
officers in command.
