newspaper that will prostitute itself
to the yilest resources of journalism in
order to strike a blow at men whom i,
cannot control in a political way, is un-
deserving of public confidence and re-
spect, even though it parades it's beat
with fine feathers and a lordly tread.
For a long time the Anaconda Stand
ard has been acquiring the reputation OF
a Matchmaking sheet-not in the sense
of holding a man up for IS, as the price
of it's silence, like some Of it's more
feeble imitators have been known to do
but in the way of compelling men to line
up with it's propositions to secure i'm
munity from it's attacks. rH-
Whenever it undertakes a political
scheme, the man who is instrumental in
thwarting it, or who has the independ-
ence to hold aloof. is thereafter marked
for attack from m standpoint tina may
offer. 4 I
He is set apart, as it were, for a target,
to be fired at whenever a convenient OPP
portunity may present itself.
Cases could be mentioned in which the
Standard has. attempted to influence
public opinion. and intimidate those who
are more or less dependent upon it's po.
litical pull, by publishing in advance of
a law suit matters calculated to have d
bearing on the result. |[
Journalism Of that kind is not only
reprehensible. but it should be sup,
pressed as Matchmaking of the worst
form. F,ltR
A vermin covered tramp upon the
highway is a model OF responsibility
compared with newspapers # that type.

The Standard does not wish to purify
politics in this state, and thus compel
itself to go out of ~business-it merely
desires the defeat Of the accredited
leader of it's rival democratic faction.
To this end, it has blighted the reputa-
ton of our fair state abroad, made Mon
tana a by-word of contempt throughout
the land. and turned into other channels
vast amounts of money that would
otherwise have been invested within our
borders.
Had it c~onscientiously desired to pun
1sh crime, it would not have robbed
judges and juries of their p~rerogatives
and tried alleged criminals in it's W
columns, without the formality Of any
evidence but the intensity of it's deter
mination to win a point of political con-
sequence to it's uncertain future.
1t would have lent it's quiet energies
to the unearthing of crime, ascribing to
the courts the functions that are legally
their own.
1t has wasted barrels of printers ink
to prove to the people of the United
States that a viler spot than Montana
does not exist on the map, and vet the

/ One session of our state legislature
will pass bill authorizing the State
Supt. to set apart one day each year

the next season they will try to pass
law Offering a bounty for all Eng
lish sparrows killed. Consistent is
it noto Now there are a half-dozen
kinds Of small birds that resemble
The English sparrow, and very few
can tell the difference, especially in
the fall Of the year. when so many of
the birds are OF duh color. Michi-
gan, Illinois, and several other states
tried this bounty plan. 1t cost them
thousands Of dollars and they had to
give it. 1t did not lessen the mum Ter
OF sparrows, and many birds not
sparrows were killed. This Offering
bounty seems but another way Of
teaching children to be cruel We
have, in this world, enough cruelty,
what we want is more kindness and
thoughtfulness. jenkins Lloyd Jones
says, 1T is the boy | am concerned

The park commissioners of the cities
are the friends of the BIRDS and are
protecting them. The Department of
Agriculture at Washington makes
careful statements as to their useful
ness and sends circulars to the farm
ers, 50 that he may know their value
and will protect them. Ministers in
many places are preaching upon this
theme. Teachers throughout our state
are doing much in nature study, but
without the help Of the women and
mothers much will be left undone.
Each ear the Dept of Education
sends out an annual to the teachers
for the observance OF Arbor and Bird
day. They expect that through the
vast army of teachers, that all the
youth Of our state will be bird protec-
tors as wen as bird lovers. The teach
ers can not do it alone. As our poet
says:

The teacher needs your help and
