After Roberts, Sealn,

New York, Oct. 27.--Miss Helen Gould
has given $4,000 to the League for So
cial Service, to be used in a crusade
against Mormonism. The league has
issued 100000 pamphlets in pursuance
of Miss Gould's directions. They are
aimed directly at Mormonism and Brig
ham Fl. Roberts as congressman, and
will be distributed all over the country.
When they are exhausted millions more
will follow them. The pamphlets and
blank petitions will be sent to $4,000
clergymen and to hundreds of clubs
and societies. These, together with a
varied assortment of other printed
matter, are expected to enlist the CO.
operation and financial support of peo-
pie of all classes throughout the coun-
try. Clergymen will be asked to preach
on the subject of Mormon practices and
also to take up collections for use in
the crusade against them.

MUST GO TO SCHOOL.
No Holiday for Anaconda School Child

No Holiday for Anaconda School Child
This is the day when all school
children in Anaconda look glum. AL
though by all traditions Of American
public schools Saturday is a half holi-
day, Anaconda school children must
attend to-day just the same as on the
other five week days.
This is because they had a holiday
when the volunteers came home. It
was agreed when the holiday was
granted that the day must be made
up. School days, in the present pre-
carious condition of the school dis
ltrict finances. are too few to have any
wasted.
At the meeting Of the school trus-
tees Thursday night Superintendent
Stapleton brought the matter up anc
was authorized by the board to con
tinue school to-day and thus make
up the day lost earlier in the week.

Are You Like Him?

Jesus loved and prayed for his en-
emies. Do you?
He went among the poor and lowly
to lead them to God. Do you?
He denied Himself comfort and ease
that others might find peace to their
troubled souls. Do you?
When Jesus met person or com.
pany of persons, He talked to them OF
eternal things. Do you?
He that said for ''every idle word
men: should give account to God" "
never engaged in foolish talking or
jesting. Do you?
Jesus said that "men should pray
everywhere ;" and he prayed much,
often whole nights. Do you? -,
Jesus was separate from sinners"
Are you?
Jesus was drought as lamb before

His mouth" and patiently endured
mocking and shame. Do you?
Jesus was 80 earnest in prayer for a
lost world that he prayed, "being in
an agony" Are you?
Christ was holy, harmless and unde-

Jesus had such love for those who
crucified Him that He prayed,
"Father forgive them, for they know
not what they d." Have you?

one else all their days.
Sixth, forests ought to be protected
and growing OF trees encouraged, but 1t
cannot be done by selling pine and
stumpage to lumbermen on state lands
and government lands at Is cents to
50 thousand and allowing every pino
tree large enough to make Ana joist to
be cut and this is just what has been
done for years. l insist that no tree
stumpage on public lands should be
sold. Timber ought to be left on tho
land for use Of settlers.
Seventh, the pretense of protecting
game is too thin an argument to be con-
sidered by up-to-date men.
The idea Of protecting game when
hundreds of Indians are allowed to hunt
at pleasure in the territory is ridicu-
lous; but to those familiar with tho
wholesale slaughter committed by city
hunters during the few days allowed for
the massacre, IT is sickening. The game
law is a farce played on the public for
two purposes: One, fat salaries for
political heelers: second, sport for the
well-to-do fellows in the cities who
want the game protected until they get
ready for shooting. Home owners ought
to wake up and look this matter square
in the face before it is too late.

That Big Park.

Ed. Representative: 1 see the papers
are talking about seven million acre
park scheme for Northern Minnesota
and, strange to say, most of them seem
to favor the project.
Look at the facts for a minute and tell
us why. the people should keep silent
while the steal under the cloak of
public benefit" goes on. 1 claim: First,
that government land still remaining in
Minnesota is needed for the settlers far
more than for national park.
Second, no donations of land from
private parties can reasonably be ex-
pected but on the contrary those private
parties will naturally increase the price
Of their land from 81 and 81 an acre
to IS and SO and possibility $25 an acre.
