ONLY FEATHERS.

One of the famous Conrad sup
porters-persistent supporters = in
the late lamented Legislature is now
conspicuous by his absence and ter
rife by his silence. He said he had
to borrow money, at the sessions
close, to pay his way home; yet he
has done nothing since but travel
travel to California, to Utah and
Colorado, and to the fabulous land of
Utopia, where he is supposed at pres
ent to reside. When it was rumored
that about hundred of the legislat-
ors would be prosecuted for bribery,
he ran like Gloucestershire regi-
ment in front of the Beers. Honest
Bill is a smooth proposition. There
are feathers in his nest, but no tim
othy seeds in his hair.

THE GREATEST THING IN THE
WORLD,

Democrats of Montana are aiming
to belittle the action of Supt. Carle-
ton in leaving the populist party and
joining the republican. Democratic
love for populists is never warm, eS-
cept for election purposes, as the
continued history of Montana goes to
prove. A democrats love for pop
ulist vote is the greatest thing in the
world-excepting the democrats in
gratitude after election.
The populists of Montana are tired
of doing the role of cats paw, and it
will be no matter of surprise to see
thousands of them return to the rep
ublican party the coming summer
Democratic domination and it atten,
dant corruption, would scarcely have
been possible without the populist
vote. The need of this domination
is to shame the honest voter who ne.
yer intended such result.
Honest voters are commencing tc
realize that the first great duty Of
our citizenship is to wrest the com,
monwealth from the hands of an or
ganized band of boodlers, robbers,
bribe hunters, periurers, felons and
all round malefactors now having
charge d. affaires. Democratic rule
is an abomination to the state.

Habit hath so vast a prevalence over
the human mind that there is scarcely
anything too strange or too strong to

cheat himself and with great delight
and triumph picked his own pocket of

impossible or improbable.

THE SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe in the world
today is undoubtedly made by the w.
l.. Douglas Shoe Co., OF B%rocktor,
Mass. The one idea Of this company
has always been to sell a shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the IS
shoes of any other concern. They are
able to do this on account of there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer. In go of the principal
cities of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
in all sizes and widths, and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over LOO hands, and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed, and pay about the best
average wages of any shoe workers In
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to SIT, 435 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only,
and it is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denver
