THE GALLANT MONTANA BOYS

Smith reached there, and there was an
exchange of courtesies between the two
state executives. -r
Banquets. parades and every form of
amusement imaginable have been ar
ranged for the home-comers. In fact,
the Montana boys will be given as
hearty greeting as any who have re-

an out-and-out eXpansionist. He is
enthusiastic about the reception te be

Senator Carter said:
I'VE are very proud of rhe achieve
ments of our soldier boys. Montana
was called upon for about 800 trcops
The state furnished more than 1,600

volunteers, sufficient number would
have been enlisted to make several
regiments"

the citizens of San Francisco IN ex-
tending them hearty welcome home.

MAKES NO COMPLAINT.
Admiral Schley Cheerful1y Accepts the
Assignment Given Him.

Washingto ton, Sept. 19.-Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley will succeed Rear
Admiral Howison in command of the
South Atlantic squadron. He has no
protest to make against the assign
ment which the navy department Sc
lected for him. AS a sailor, he will
obey orders without a murmur.
He called upon the president this
afternoon and told him that he had
no complaint to make: that he would
cheerfully assume the duties of any
post selected by the department which
it had been his pride to serve for 43
years.
Rear Admiral Schley was very reti-
cent when he left the white house after
his interview with the president and
except to saw that he always obeyed
orders he would make no statement as
to the interview and offered no com
ment upon the assignment to the COM
mand of the South Atlantic station.
To the rear admiraPs friends the pres
ident has said that he regards the sta
ton as of great Importance, especially
at this time, in view of the situation in
South Africa and the unsettled condi-
tion of affairs in some of the South
American countries. Far from regard
ing the assignment as slight, the
president told Admiral Schley's friends
he regarded it as mark of distinction,
Besides. he said. it was the only way
to crafty the admirals desire for sea
service. The Asiatic squadron is, in
command of Rear Admiral Watson, and
Rear, Admiral Farquhar. who is Admi-
raj Schley's senior, has been selected for
the command of the North Atlantic
squadron when Rear Admiral Samp-
son leaves it after the Dewey reception
In New York.
The only other squadron commensur-
ate with the dignity of a flag officer of
Rear Admiral Schley's rank, therefore,
is the South Atlantic station. 1t is
probable in view of the Importance at
tached to the station at this time that
some additional ships will be attached
to the squadron, which now consists
only of the flagship Chicago, the Will
mington and the Machias.

ed to the address of welcome.
The principal address this afternoon
was made by Samuel l.. Jones of To-
ledo. 1t was entitled, The New Pa
triotism, a Golden Rule Government"
He said in part:
LAS 1t stands to-day it is simple can
dor 70 say that the word patriotism is
to most people a meaningless Jingle,
the one conception they have of the
thing being associated with red fire,
bunting, flags, firecrackers and Fourth
of July. The new patriotism, how
ever, is the old patriotism improved.
The flag still represents the love of
millions, but the new patriotism is the
love of millions that is already pan
ming for and opening way to a con1i-
tion of life under this government when
every child born in it will have equal
opportunity with every other child
to live the best possible kind of life
that he or she can live. The one agency
above all others that the patriot should
seek to overcome in the municipality,
the state and the nation is partisan
politics"
Following Mayor Jones. the secretary
and treasurer made their annual re-
ports, after which the question box
was opened for the receipt of queries
on subjects pertaining to municipal
government.
Secretary b. F. Kilkinson stated in
his annual report that although the
League of American Municipalities was
but two years of age, 1t had on its mem
bership rolls cities representing about
one-slxth of the entire population of the
United states. At the time of the issue
of his last report the league had a mem
bership of - cities; since then 90 cities
have been added to membership. The
bureau received during the year 7S2
special letters of inquiry relative to
municipal affairs. Not having a skilled
architect and an expert civil engineer
the bureau was unable to provide all
the information called for in some
cases. The secretary recommended that
@ consulting engineer be retained by the
league when the revenue of the organi-
zation shall be sufficient to meet such
expense.

cipal standpoint was the subject of an
address delivered by DIR. William c.

work for the proper cleaning of their
own cities in a comprehensive manner,
and said we should then see a lowered
mortality and an increased vitality and
happiness of our people.
