reason why their employees should quar-
rel or why their friends should increase
the flow of perspiration by quarreling
about them. Let us have peace. Let US
find some other occupation in life than
fighting other men battles, for, while
the people are doing that, crimes are be-
ing committed; public abuses are going
undiscovered and unpunished; taxes are
eating up the substance of the property
ing overlooked and enterprises of great
pith and moment are being ignored. The
people should wait for election day to
adjust things; laboring men in particu-
lar should consult about what Is best for
their own interests, both political and
material; business men should investi-
gate conditions which threaten their
prosperity, and citizens generally, after
business hours, should forget the conten-
tions of politics and extract from life all
possible enjoyment. That is the way
people of other communities live. That
is the way they should live in Montana.

Thousands of patriotic young Anreri-
cans are ready to volunteer for the war
with China should the present military
strength of the country require reinforce
ment. The same spirit that animated
them in the war with Spain will again
SEND them to the front to fight their
country's battles. That is the "miiitar-
ism which the democratic party so
volubly deplores and which it's platform
so insanely ]denounces. Who would be a
democrat when the problem of the white
mans burden presses for solution?

The democracy is nothing but an or
ganized appetite. 1t can give no reason
for being alive. 1t is sere, sore and sour.

foreign than of home labor. Spells is
its inspiration, violence and crime it's
main reliance, ignorance it's chief ally.
It is opposed to the forces of intelli-
gence, it learns nothing by experience

simple enough, because luck has IA

''Then shall resume my story" said
Sturgis. ''The footprints show that
Arbogast stood at his desk while the
scrubbing was going on. We may safe
ly say it was after half-past four
o'clock when he started to leave the
bank; for otherwise it is presumable
that Chatham would have waited for
him at the corner of South and Wall
streets, as he was asked to do in the
bookkeeper's telegram. He first
walked ever to the safe and closed it,
changing the combination, so that the
lock could not be opened until he had
had a fair start. Next he went to the
clerks room for his hat and coat and
for the satchel in which he had packed
just the few necessities for immediate
use in his flight. He started to leave
the building through the Exchange
place door; but probably remembered
that the Wall street door was not
locked, and went back to. lock it. AS
he was about to close the outer door,
Chatham arrived on the scene and the
two men reentered, as we have already
seen. The footprints tell their story
fully and absolutely, their chronology

casional obliteration of footprint in
one trail by another in subsequent

is one of the best pieces of railway
property in the country. II runs through
the finest lake region Of Minnesota and
the best potatoes and hay in the north
west come from along that line. White
Bear and Bald Eagle lakes are we'll
known lake resorts on this road, which
now forms a part of the Lake Superior
division Of the Northern Pacific rail-
way. The Dalles of the St. croix river
at Taylor's Falls are also noted for their
picturesque beauty and the region
about there is, geologically, the most
interesting of its kind in the United
States. The old St. Paul & Duluth rail-
road was particularly we'll known for its
"Lake Superior Limited" train between
ST. Paul and Minneapolis and Duluth
and the Superiors. This fast and Re-
clining Chair Car train is continued by
the Northern Pacific railway, and is the
favorite train between the Twin Cities
and the Head of the Lakes, between
which there are three trains daily on the

cities, or who contemplate max
