conclusively that the noble and gener-
Gus and patriotic elements in the HUI
man makeup far outweigh that which
is narrow and sordid and selfish.
The Butte demonstration in honor OF
the returning volunteers was planned
on a broad and generous scale. 1t was
a big undertaking, but the responsible
ties of the situation have been met, on
the whole, in a magnanimous and pa
triotic spirit which does infinite credit
to the men and women who have borne
the expense and the labor connected
with 1t.
AS chairman, have had troubles of
my own" but I am we'll satisfied that
there are plenty of men ana women
who have been working for the success
of the reception who have suffered far
more inconvenience and made far more
sacrifices OF time and effort than I
have, and who have done 1t without
complaining. To all these-and they
are many-I take this opportunity of
expressing my deep gratitude and sim
cere thanks. LEE MANTLE.

LIGHTS AND SHADES IN
THE WORK OF A CHAIRMAN

edge has been wonderfully increased
in the past six weeks. BY this, how
ever, 1 would not have it understood
that have lost any of my respect ana
love for my fellow creatures, for,
while I have uncovered and developed
some queer streaks in the human for
nation that have temporarily shaken
my faith in the wisdom of the AL
mighty, 1 have at the same time come
in contact with so much that is grander
than anything I had before encount-
cred that the account is far more than
balanced.
OF course, in common with the other
gentlemen who constituted the COM
mittee of arrangements for the recep-
ton, I started out in the work of maxi
ing the necessary preparations upon
the theory that we were engaged in a
most patriotic and generous endeavor
to give proper recognition to the brave
fellows who have done so much to re-
fleet honor and credit upon our state.
and to let them know in unmistakable
terms that we fully appreciate the
magnificent record they have made.
But while this sentiment very largely
preponderates among the people, there
is vet a minority who fail to see it in
this light and who are not at all SPAR
ing in their criticism, either of the
committee or it's objects. OF course I
shall not stop to explain in detail the
character of the criticisms. Suffice it
n o !, cstnd
ally in denouncing the methods of the
committee, in finding fault with it's
plans for entertaining the volunteers,
in pronouncing as foolish the expendi-
ture of money for bonfires, fireworks
and triumphal arches. Some Of them
have been personal in their nature and
have attributed all sorts of selfish and
improper motives to the members Of
the committee and its chairman. Ac-
cording to one, there was politics in it..
Another thought someone is making
money out of it, while few opposed
the entire scheme. as they do not ap-
prove the object for which the fighting
has been done. These are some of the
things which have made the position
- SHai man VI LIE coilliultlee So ue-
lightful and desirable! OF course there
was always some good friend on hand
who made it his business to see that
the chairman was promptly informed
of all these little pleasantries so that
he might feel encouraged to go on with
his work. But after all, these little an
noyances, like the sting of an insect,
We're felt but a moment. No doubt they
had their uses. for, while their first eff
| feet was to encourage expressions not
used in polite society, their second eff
feet was to stimulate to greater effort

The Standard has asked me to write
a few lines on the subject of the chair
manship of ahe reception committee to
welcome the returning volunteers. 1t
wants me to give some of my expert
ences and relate some of the impress
sions gathered during the past six
weeks while have been acting in this
capacity, for the benefit of its numer-
Gus readers, but it fails to give any
good reason why I should attempt 90
unload my burdens on an unoffendrC
public.
When a committee of prominent citi-
zens invaded my office abouttwomonths
ago and urged and insisted that
should accept the craftsmanship I very
promptly declined, not that 1 was not
in hearty sympathy with the object in
view. but because out of large fund
of experience gained in undertakings
of a voluntary public character
thought I foresaw a splendid opportu-
nifty for worry and annoyance, not to
speak of a lot of work, to which I am
not naturally addicted. However, all
my objections were summarily over
ruled and I found myself nominated,
elected and installed chairman Of the
committee on arrangements for the re-
ception and welcome of the Montana
volunteers" without understanding
very clearly just how it has been done.
1T was a plain case Of governing with
out the consent of the governed"
My experiences? Well, they have
been numerous and varied; some very
pleasant and some-well, not so pleas
ant, but there are many that I cannot
tell. may say, however, that
thought had pretty much sounded the
whole gamut of human experience as
1t relates to the conduct and manage
ment of public undertakings through
voluntary committees. I thought I
knew all about it. it's pleasant features
and it's drawbacks; it's seasons of sat
isfaction and its periods of depression
fits moments of exhilaration and enthu-
siasm over the grand success which
seemed to be assured and the deep des-
pondency which sometimes falls upon
chairmen and committees when things
go wrong and the innate cussedness,
which, unfortunately, permeates and
animates some forms of the human
species, and breaks out with unusual
virulence and unreasonableness. But
in the light of my late experience can
see that I was but a novice. a mere
tyro in the business. 1 thought I knew
a great deal of human nature; its
heights and depths, it's broad and gen
erous and noble impulses. it's narrow
selfishness and fanatical prejudices. OF
course, I did know something of these
4 things before, but my stock of knowl-

DRAMA IN THE PHILIPPINES.

tiful Harmony.

tiful Harmony.
A number of American actors, includ-
ing Harry Corson Clarke and Clay Glenn
ent have announced their intention OF
visiting Manila with their companies, but,
according to reports brought back by the
Montana volunteers. the actors will have
to build their own theaters after they ar
rive there or show in tent. The only
theater the city of Manila can boast of is
a low bamboo structure about $50 years
old, and with a seating capacity and at
Effectiveness that compare with the Ca
sino on Galeno street. The only enter
tainments given at the theater during the
time the Montana boys were at Manila
were acrobatic and crude dramatic per-
formances by native actors and vaude-
vile turns provided by volunteer per-
formers from the different regiments.
Among the Montana boys were several
good dancers and singers, and the WASH
ington regiment had an excellent quar-
tette, and these often assisted in giving a
"show" at the theater The native per-
formers nearly all do acrobatic turns,
and the returned soldiers say the Fill
pinos are the greatest acrobatic per-
formers on earth. The admission price at
the Manila theater is 80 cents In Mexi-
can money, or % cents in American coin.
The Tilpinos are natural musicians,
and in nearly every home can be found
a number of strange musical instruments.
The natives make a sweetly-toned string
instrument out of half cocoanut. The
mandola, somewhat similar to the mando-
lin, is a favorite instrument, and harps,
most of them 100 or $50 years old, are nu-
merous in the homes of Manila

to achieve success, and, besides, they
served to bring out, by contrast, the
unselfish conduct and generous encour-
agement which comes from so many
others.
Some things occurred during the prog
ress of these preparations which ex-
cited my intense disgust and contempt,
but I will not speak of them. On the
other hand, there have been some
things exceedingly funny. A favorite
criticism among those who did not wish
to subscribe to the reception fund was
the folly of erecting the triumphal
arch, a folly to which their patriotism
would not permit them to become par
ties.
Speaking of the arch recalls an Incl
dent. One of the ladies appointed to
solicit contributions of food for the
lunch. approached a lady for a contri-
button and was met with this reply,
given with decided snap in her voice:
It'll give nothing; let 'em eat the
arch" This 'arch" really threatened
once or twice to become "bugbear"
to the chairman of the committee. not
withstanding the fact that, completed,
it was a credttable and handsome af-
fair. Some evenings ago the chairman,
accompanied by a member Of the COM
mittee, went to the gentleman having
it in charge for the purpose Of hurry
thing was annoying and troubling him,
and on being pressed to say what it
was, he replied somewhat obviously:
"Well, I'll tell you. Paxson has made
that id goddess too heavy to put
on top of the arch and I don't know
what to do with her. She weighs 700
pounds. Now, who on earth ever heard
of a goddess weighing that much?"
The other evening while the commit
tee was holding a meeting at my office
discussing details of the parade, an
electric wire man rushed in and in
formed us that the arch was falling
over and we had better get up there
quick if we wanted to save it. In an
other moment the telephone rang and
a voice announced that Mr.. Mantle had
better go up there and take care of
that arch or it would be smashed up
In few seconds more big Jim Leyden.
the chief of police, came up to tell us
that the arch was about to be blown
over and we had better look after it.
These were followed by a dozen~.others
in quick succession, all breathlessly an
nouncing that the arch was going to
destruction, and finally the architect
arrived to calm our fears by telling us
that the arch couldn't possibly fall
down if it wanted to!
See Naples and die" is familiar
quotation. If there is any one who
feels that he has not fully exhausted
the schedule of human experiences and
who would like to enjoy new sensa-
tons of pleasure and pain, l advise
him to secure the craftsmanship of a
big reception committee before he dies.
But after all has been said the graft

It Is Always the Flag Of the Free.

Who fears for the flag that freedom blessed,
Though it wanders afar from home,
BY the winds caressed, to the east or west,
Wherever its sons may roam
In the calm Of peace or the storm Of wars,
On land or the bounding sea,
With its silver stars and its crimson bars
1t is always the flag of the free.
Far from the cradle where Liberty reared
Its brood of free-born men,
That banner Jared and has onward dared
Full many league since then.
Like strong young eagle, wings elate,
1t has followed it's destiny
From the old Bay State to the Golden Gate
The fetterless flag of the free.
South, where the fair Antilles lie,
1t smiles to the glowing dawn
1t scars on high in the sunlit sky,
On the hill over San Juan.
1t has followed its we-loved ships away
To the uttermost alien sea,
And it floats to-day in Manila bay,
The conquerng flag of the free.
God speed the flag that has quailed,
Though it rode DER the Spanish main;
When by foes assaulted that has never failed
Humanitys need and .pain
1t shall bless the slave whom its valor frees,
And its glory shall round him be;
On its own loved breeze or the Orient seas
1t is always the flag of the free.

When Miss Bertha Gelders, who is
abroad, arrived at Frankfort on the Main
she received an invitation from the Grand
Duchess of Baden to visit her royal high
ness at the castle at Baden-Baden. The
social distinction is of the first considera-
ton, since the grand duchess is the aunt
of the German emperor, inasmuch as she
is the daughter of Emperor William l. and
therefore, sister of the late Emperor Fred
erick father of the present emperor. Con-
sidering the exclusiveness of the German
court, it can be understood that a rare
social honor has been conferred upon Miss
Gelders, and one which gives her the entree
