wages of working men in this part CT
Montana are non too high and that
man that would reduce them at this

himself to be forced to tramp out Of the
country with his blankets on his back

here from the east are not to blame,

know that they should not accept less

A COMM BIZ ACT.

The action of the board Of trustees OF
the Billings school district in re-elect'
ing H. M. Brayton principal of the
Billings public schools, is to be COM
mended. Principal Brayton has had
charge of the schools but one year, yet
be has made marked improvement in
them and it is only in justice to him
that he should be allowed to continue
his work for at least another year.
Too fr.quent changes in a school often
result in detriment to the school as
we'll as to retard the progress of the
scholars.
a good school board, which has the
welfare and interests of its schools at
heart, should debate long before it
makes a change in its teaching force
when the same are giving satisfaction.
They are elected to a responsible posi-
tion-the welfare of and the seeing to
it that our children are furnished with
good school facilities and competent
instructors. We believe that the Bill
ings school board means to fulfill every
trust imposed in it and that in the cleo
ton Of teachers on next Friday night
it will act for the best.

"A l. HOUSE,

Gives Great satisfaction to the Fashion
and Culture of Superior, Wis.
The fashion and culture of the city
crowded the Grand opera house last
evening to it's utmost capacity to see
the first presentation of Henrik Ibsen's
remarkable drama, "a Dolls House,
as produced by Miss Clara Thropp and
a small but especially capable company,
says the Superior wis., Leader. In
these days, when much Of the public
gauge in advance by the number of peo-
pie in a travelling company. the dese1v-
ing qualities Of an organization, it
seems to overthrow all rules to note the
immense audiences before which Miss
Thropp appears nightly il her present
performance. Tuesday night at Duluth
that spacious playhouse was crowded
to it's very walls with an interested and
delighted th1ong Of fashion, and the
experience was certainly repeated in
this city last evening.
Yet after realizing the tremendous
power that Henrik Ibsen's name has in
the literary and social world, and after
one witnesses a performance by this
talented and unique dramatic organiza-
tion, the wonder as to the magnetism
is absolved in the greater wonder that
there are not more companies touring
this country of just the sort that the
Clara Thropp company is.
No attraction has appeared upon the
local stage the present season that has
given any better, if as good, satisafc-
ton as this one, and Il more delighted
audience has not in many months ever
left the Grand at the close of a stage
entertainment. All through the per-
Torrance of Ibsen's masterpiece APP
plause came in great PUSHES and tor
rents. Then there were curtain calls,
and it looked at one time as though the
spirited little coincidence would be
obliged to quiet the vociferous hand
clapping by stepping before the curtain
and making a speech.
One hears SO much nowadays about
lbsen that hopes are high before the
rise of the first curtain Oh one of his
plays. yet before the final curtain his
auditors bow in submission before his
vivid dramatic pictures and treman-
dously. real situations.
In the part of Nora. Miss Thropp
last evening gained a personal triumph
that will not soon be forgotten by West
Superior theater goers. In the comedy
scenes she is light, clever, bright, care

Senator John M. Thurston of Ne
braska made al address in Philadelphia
last week and during the course of his
remarks the learned gentleman stated
that he was now to be found supporting
the administration in it's attitude to-
ward governing Cuba and the Philip
pines. Senator Thu1ston has always
been AL ardent supporter of the admin
s~istration and a leading republican, but
last year he few off the track. He has
safely returned, for he says he is no
longer a conservative, but annexation
list. During the course of his remarks.
Mr.. Thurston said:

American has. Oh the new destiny
which has opened up before us, and we
are making our expressions in the
newspapers and magazines. Many are
pessimistic and we hear many wailing

bilious citizens of the United States.
These are the pessimistic individuals
who have bad ljvers and whose kidneys
are out of time.
"Our forefathers never looked for
ward to the land breakers of the At
lantic and the sun Of the Pacific shore
and yet there are those in these pessi-
mistic times who say that we are bound
by the views of the fathers. Constitu-
tions are written for the government
and the time in which they are
planned, and they are always made to
meet the emergencies Of progressive
civilization.

Il am one of those who would have
wished that after Dewey sailed into
Manila and gained the grandest victory
of modern times, that he could have
left without accepting the responsible
ity. But this could not be done. God
has given us the responsibility and we
must accept it. Civilization has the
right of way over barbarism and the
American people were equal to this or
any other responsibility that might
arise,'
