The New Years Old Issue.

F things are to be what they seem, it
is possible that the new year will
find the city of Butte dealing sue
cessfully with the smoke question.
Just now public opinion is passing
through period of agitation, but there
it is periodical in Butte.
A quarresome man who was con-
WINGED that he was about to die, sum-
moned the parson, expressed his regret
for all remissnesses in his conduct and
effusively forgave all his enemies. But
just as the minister was taking his
strength he had left, shouted after him:
Remember, old man, if I get well, this
forgiveness business doesn't count
The reversed condition is true of the
people of Butte. They suffer and cough
and swear and threaten when the sui
phur fr.ne wraps the city in it's vile
folds; when the breeze scatters the
vapor, they forget their discomfort and
their threats-their resolve to be for
smoke determination doesn't count
when the air is clear.
Just now, however, the feeling for a
smoke crusade is a little more agrees
sive than Is usually the case, this con-
dition being due in large measure, to
the vigorous steps lately taken by
Judge Lindsay. The public takes the
court seriously: the smelter mana
gers-some of them-seem to do the
same; they have a right to. The pres
ent hour finds the city authorities in
possession of a report just submitted by
a committee of citizens; this week has
brought formally to the attention of the
district court an expression of the
views of the smelter managers. The
report submitted last Friday to the
mayor, refers to study of the ques-
ton made a few years ago by Joseph
H. Harper, an engineer well known
throughout Montana 1t has seemed to
the Standard well worth while to print
this Harper report as it is the result
of the most thorough study of the
smoke problem that has ever been pre-
scented to the Butte authorities-it is
summarized on a Butte page of this
mornings Standard.
Thus far there is nothing to go by
the public will await with deep
interest the outcome of the pre-
liminary steps lately taken Mean
while, every citizen who has the
right measurement of Butte's present
and Butte's assured future knows that
sooner or later this smoke problem will
be solved. The sooner the better.
Butte will be bigger city than Denver
presently; this page has many readers
this neN-year morning who will live
to see that prediction made good. The
smoke problem will be solved prob
lem one of these days. Whether it be
that the shelters will go to the noun
tain or whether it be that, by a f1ue's
agency, the mountain goes to the
smelters; whether it be through chemi-
cal process or by chimney construction
or what not--the smoke nuisance must
go; it is bound to go. And if the body
of citizenship in Butte shows the same
determined front that has always been
shown by the smelter managers, the
day when Butte will rise above this
veritable curse is not distant.

- ECENT announcements relating
~ to the death and the obsequies

that, for the large proportion of Amer
lean citizens now in active life the men
with whom he was associated in the

Smory and the legislation he helped
to Sape is the property of past which
to pst of us seems distant.

Worth Something Now.

From the Seattle Acknowledgements.
Things are bound to progress wher-
ever Uncle Sam hoists his flag. An
English and an American syndicate are
squabbling over a street car concession
in Havana. 1t was not worth a mo-
ment's contention until the United
States took control of affairs.

How an Authority Views 1t.

From the Duluth Herald.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who is recog-
nized as an authority on the subject of
kissing, is opposed to Hobson's oscula-
tory methods. She says: Il echo the
sentiment of a bright woman of my
acquaintance who, when asked what
she thought of Hobson's kissing ex-
ploits, said she would rather have a
man she cared for kiss 400 girls at once
than he would kiss one girl 400 times"

The Other Girl.

From the Minneapolis Journal
The pictures of the girls who kissed
Hobson having gone the rounds, the
papers are starting in with the picture
of the girl who didn't kiGs Hobson. She
is much more of a curiosity-and, in
cidentally, better looking.

Not Sick Enough.

From the Boston Advertiser.
The story that Jernegan, the origin
ator of the scheme for extracting gold
bricks from sea water, has returned to
his victims $4,000 of the "swag' proves
to be an error On the contrary, his
health appears to be as good as usual,
Notwithstanding that he has the grip.

Age of Discretion.

From the Somerville Journal
A young man may be said to have

he takes down the pictures of actress
es from his mantel and puts up a por-
trait of his rich maiden aunt instead.

BETTER THAN THE KNIFE.
Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick
ly, Painlessly, Without Danger.

People go along for years, suffering with
piles. They try this, and that, and the
other thing, from carrying buckeye to
getting treatment from physician. They
obtain temporary relief maybe, but they
are never quite cured. A little strain in
lifting, excessive fatigue, little constl-
patton, or a little diarrhea, and the piles
come back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite No
position is comfortable. There is intense
local pain and that dreadful, agonizlng
feeling of weight in the perineum-
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many salves on sale will afford tempor-
ary relief If the case is of long standing
there is only one speedy and sure remedy.
1t is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light
cases 1t is the safest thing to use Other
applications may cure and may not. Py-
rarnid Cure is always certain, always re-
liable, always brings comfort at once. Its
prompt use saves months of severe suf-
fering. In extreme cases 1T will save
surgical operations and their attendant
dangers and comforts. 1t is better than
a knife viii cure easier, quicker and
safer. Thousands have used It, Thou
sands have been cured by it. The cost
is trtfing compared with what 1t does
The price is one dollar. Most anybody
would gladly pay ten dollars to be rid or
piles.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure. If
yours hasn't it, he will get it for you from
the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich,
sole manufacturers.
