individual apartments, modern lavator-
les, large play room for children and
a bicycle room.
A feature just added that will tend
much to the comfort of worshippers in
the summer time is the providing of
each door and window alike with
screens, by which the noisy June bug,
the vexatious fly and the cruel mosqui-
to are excluded.
The temple can accommodate a con-
gregation of one thousand, is conducted
on the free-seat plan and looks after
the comfort of its attendants by check

That 1t might be unique to the end
of its enterprise, the church provided
funds as the building progressed with
out resorting to a mortgage, and thus
at the dedication the announcement
was made that every dollar of the cost
had been provided for.

thing like Spartan possession threatens
the youth of the country.
THE remedy Is more with teacher
and tutor Rather than permit idle
ness at home and on the street, ten
hours should be spent at school asso-

mands that the state take more init

1.-THE present disposition to relinquish
the home training of children and the
enlarged field of elementary instruc-
ton demanded, require a changed con-
dition in the mechanism of the
schools. The state must assume these
duties for self-protection; it has already
commenced, as illustrated by free
school board lectures in many cities

every school house for the use of the
people every day and every evening

elements of a good English education,

has the right and it is its imperative
duty to train all of its youth and make
them good and honorable citizens. The
public school cannot always do this on
account of home influences, attractions
to truancy, long vacations, absence of
manual training and the tendency to
develop the head rather than the heart,
that is, the intellectual more than the
moral.

Education the 1@snscea
for Juvenile DeaeneracY

To the Editor of the Standard:
With considerable interest | have
read of the condition of the Juveniles
in Anaconda. The situation is certain
ly distressing and demands the active
interest of all good citizens. AS prin-
cipal of a large school in this city,
where similar conditions with increas-
ing tendency exist, few observations
and suggestions may not be amiss.
Scarcely day passes without mem
ton of the arrest of one or more boys
for stealing, malicious mischief or some
misdemeanor. The "rustling" of ore,
old iron, copper, beer bottles, etc, by
the boys has become such mania that
they do not stop to consider the right
to ownership, but invade premises, un-
bar doors or windows and even break
into houses to get the coveted pelf
They take copper wire and burn off the
insulation, rob engines and cars in the
yards Of valuable brass belongings and
in every conceivable way pilfer and
appropriate everything of value To
my notion this can largely be stopped
by prohibiting junk dealers from re-
ceiving property offered by minors and
by strictly seeing that the law is en-
forced. This would solve to a great ex-
tent the purchasing of cigarettes, beer
whiskey, etc, for the Juveniles depend
principally on their 'rustling'' for rev.
enue.
Since intoxicating liquors play such
an important part in this matter, there
is but one safe ard permanent remedy,
and that is to absolutely prohibit the
sale or gift of intoxicants to youths,
and then strictly enforce the law and
persistently prosecute the offenders.
But with prohibition, or, If you please,
total separation from cigarettes, intox-
icants and other vile things. the ques-
ton is not settled, for the evil tenden-
cies inherited from degenerated ances-
try, fostered by weak and palliating
parents and perpetuated by an indie-
ferent public. must be reformed through
something better to take the place of
the evils now possessing.
Education Is the panacea and the
teacher is the physician. The age Is
changing. The active religious and dis
ciplinary life of the early American
home is largely a thing of the past.
Superintendent Aaron Cove of the Dem
yer city schools, in an address before
the recent session of the National Edu-
oational Association at Los Angeles,
views the situation thus: THE father
no longer claims the boys time and
earnings until manhood is reached.
This changed condition requires chang
ed school relations. The school has
helped to forward this movement by
demanding regular and prompt attend
ance at school. Fathers of the present
have turned themselves away from the
supervising of the detailed training
of the children. The mothers field of
activity is enlarged by participation in
governmental and public affairs. Some

A Namcless Hero.

From the Youths Companion
A book of the deeds of heroes whose
names have not survived them would
contain many of the noblest records OF
the human race. In it we should find
the perfect mingling of courage and
humility. A touching story, told by the
London News, belongs in this noble list,
which grows longer year by year.
A certain Major Baker and his
daughter were passengers on the Stella
when that unfortunate ship was wreck
ed. Both were about to perish, when
the father made a piteous appeal to a
boatload of passengers who We're leav-
ing the ships side to find room for his
daughter.
One man, to whose identity there is
absolutely no clue, instantly stepped
back to the ship and allowed the lady
to take his place. AS the boat cleared
the side the vessel went down, carry
ing with it the girls father and her
unknown reScuer.
How beautiful. How unutterably
sad! His anonymity somehow seems
to enhance the heroic grandeur of his
death. Nothing would have been gained
by knowing his name. A man capable
of such deed wants no mortuary hon
ors, nor the local habitaltion of a. monu-
ment He belongs to the infinite of
greatness and his fitting grave is the
sea.

Gubernatoriai Possibilities.

There can be no manner of doubt
that it will be good politics for the re-
publicans to give their next guberna-
torial nomination to Butte. says the
Libby News. Helena had it the last
time and didn't do a thing to it, and
Butte will naturally name the next
candidate There can be little doubt
that Mr.. Nantes nomination would be
generally satisfactory to the party. His
record in the senate is that of a patriot
and statesman, and his nomination
would completely smooth over the diff
ferences in the party. There is, how
ever, an interesting possibility in this
connection, which is being generally
overlooked. Butte has another extreme
ly available candidate in the person of
Colonel Harry c. Kessler. There is
no doubt that the colonel has political
ambitions in the direction of the gov
ernorship. He came near making the
race for the nomination last year, but
concluded to keep out of the impend-
ing quarrel. He has repeatedly demon
strated running qualities of the first
order in Silver Bow county. He has
made a magnificent record as a soldier
and is popular with his regiment. With
a large private fortune at his COM
mand, a splendid civil and military
record and enthusiastic soldier boys to
rustic for him all over the state, Harry
Kessler would certainly prove formid-
able candidate for any office for which
he might choose to announce himself.

The Fatal Gun Trap.

Discussion prevails in Gallatin county
regarding the right of a householder to
set a gun trap in his house to shoot
ntruders and the measure of punish
ment, if any, when the gun goes off
and kills man who is opening the
shutter of the window, says the Boulder
Age. Mr.. Adams of Chestnut Is away
from his home most of the time. Dur
ing his absence the house Is without an
occupant and is close to the railroad.
which is a thoroughfare for tramps.
His house has frequently been broken
into and articles stolen; hence the trap
gun. A bicycle tourist, probably only
seeking a nights rest, endeavored to
open the window shutter and was kill
ed by the gun. The question comes as to
the right of a man to protect his prop
erty in that way. 1t is said that there is
no law in the Montana codes touching
upon that point, and it would seem
doubtful if a jury would convict. How
ever Adams has been arrested and will
probably be tried for murder.

WHAT THE PRESS OF MONTANA
FINDS TO TALK ABOUT

The figures turned In to the state
board from the various counties in the
state show a gratifying increase in the
assessment roll of the state. says the
Great Falls Tribune. 1t amounts to
about six millions, and is the largest
increase made in any single year to the
taxable wealth of the state since our
admittance to the Union. Montana
certainly has cause to be gratitied for
the prosperity which is hers. Her wool
and mutton, her cattle, her copper, sill
yer and gold are her principal sources
of wealth just at present, and in all
these lines, except silver, she is blessed
with increasing prosperity. Not for
many years has wool brought SO good
a price or mutton sold so high. The
Def market promises well and the
ranges have been good. Copper has
been booming and production increas-
ing by leaps and bounds. In this great
division of Montana'S wealth, the past,
marvellous as it has been, promises to
be discounted by the future. The pro-
duction of gold. too, is increasing, and
the day of silver may not be far distant
Surely Montana has no cause to grum-
BILE at the dspensations of Providence
or to feel otherwise than gratified at
the material progress she is making
Likewise. Great Falls Is even now en-
jcying unusual prosperity. The smelter
and railroad pay rolls are record break
ers, and the wool money coming here
to be expended for supplies is larger
than ever before in our history. The
steady increase of population in Great
Falls, year after year, will surprise
some of our own people when they come
to see the figures. There We're more
houses built in 1898 in Great Falls than
in the three years prior to that date.
New residence houses can be seen 60
ing up all around us this year, and yet
there is scarcely a vacant house to be
found in the city. We candidly believe
that a fair count OF our population will
show it to be the second city in the
state to-day. And when it comes to
prospects in the future, none can look
forward to the years to come with more
confidence

A Protest From billings.

The pardon of Ed Kelly by Governor
Smith and the state board, despite the
protests of the officials of this county.
where Kelly was tried and convicted Of
robbery, is regarded as an outrage and
a slap at justice, says the Billings Ga
zette. The idea of the governor and his
advisers taking the word of a convict
in the Oregon penitentiary, in prefer
ence to the Judgment of the court of
this district, twelve jurymen and evil
dence that was sufficiently strong to
convict Kelly, is preposterous. The ac-
ton taken in the case will encourage
men of the Kelly stripe to commit other
crimes, in the belief that they will be
upheld and protected by the chief ex-
ecutive of the state. 1t is a burning
shame that such a state of affairs
should exist, and the people of Yellow
stone county and eastern Montana will
remember it next year, when they get
a chance at the polls at this venal
democratic administration.

Railroad Assessment.

The Farmers club of Broadwater
county addressed last week a strong
letter to the state board of equaliza-
tion on the subject of railroad assess
ments. extracts from which are pub
lished elsewhere in this issue, says the
Dillon Examiner. The position taken by
the club SENS to be unassailable.
Railroad property, alike with all other
classes of property, should, according
to our constitutional provisions, be as
sessed at its full cash value. Until
recent years the value placed upon
railroad property has been VIGOROUSLY
inadequate. 1t did not reach one-tifth

The building will be heated by a
gravity system of warm air, with a
battery of six furnaces, so that one or
more furnaces can be fired, as the
needs of the occasion or the weather
conditions demand.
The building will be lighted by cleo
tricity in the auditorium by diffused
light; no lights will be directly visible
to the audience, but will be placed in
corners, etc.
The material of the structure is white
granite for the basement, with a SUI

The windows will be of art glass.
The entrance doors, stairs and seats

Mr.. Mantle's Views.

Mr. Mantle says that in effect self
government has been promised the Fill
ipinos. On the contrary, says the Hell
ena Independent, the first paragraph of
the proclamation issued by the civilian
commission sent to the Philippines,
headed by President Schurman of Cor
nell university, declared that the 'tsov-
ereignty of the United States must and
shall be established" If any such dec
iaratfon had been made to the Cubans
they would to-day be in rebellion
against our presence in their native
land, just as the Filipinos are. A hui
name policy will be enforced, says Mr..
Mantle. A policy enforced with all the
horrors of war lacks some of the ele-
ments of a humane policy. The future
rests entirely with congress, says Mr..
Mantle. And that is the reason anti
imperialists speak out now-to awaken
the people to a realization of the i'm
portance of the issues with which con-
gress must deal; to trumpet to the bat
Elements of heaven the dangers of inn
perialism and militarism, which go
hand in hand, and which once estab-
lished as national policy, would make

men coming from or going to the wars,

noise of the warlike trumpet, and by
night the eternal tread of the sentinel

side is the pastors study and choir
room.
The auditorium floor will be dished
with seats radiating in tiers from the
pulpit platform, thus affording gcol
view from all seats.
A balcony which extends on three
sides, south. north and east, is also
built with tiers of seats.
The auditorium floor will seat $50:
the balcony will seat $50, making a
total seating capacity Of 900.
The ceiling will be coved and treated
symetrically. There will be three large
windows over the balconies, and the
organ arch and choir will be lighted on
either side by windows placed over the
choir room and pastors study.
There will be four staircases leading
to the balcony. one on either side of the
pulpit platform, to facilitate commun-
ion service, and two rear entrances.
