The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-07-16

The conservatives have been in tho
habit for long time Of sneering at the
liberals as party of social outcasts,
without prosperous clubs for men and
without fashionable and smart houses
for entertainment ON a large scale. Lib
erals have been sensitive to this re-
proach and radicals have been ready to
condemn with fine irony men of their
own party who accept invitations to the
tory houses and are conspicuous figures
in London society.
Not little Of the resentment which
Mr.. AsQuith has excited among radicals
may be attributed to his own and his
have been included in country house
parties and smart sets in town they have
been accused Of abandoning liberal pre-
cepts and counting the tories.
Radicals with strong prejudices have
been envious and dogmatic whenever
they have observed indications that
leading men on their own side of the
commons were favorites in society. They
have expressed strong disapproval Of
social patronage and Establishments and
have contended that thorough going lib.
erals must set their faces sternly against
compromises with the titled Class and
fashionable people.

in use during recent years in London.
Possibly there may be revival of the
social functions of liberal hostesses now
that there has been a conspicuous DEM
onstration of their utility.
Lady Campbell -Bannerman has rallied
the liberal factions at a critical moment
by inviting all the members OF parlia-.
ment owing allegiance to her husband
to an evening party.
The Grosvenor Place mansion is not
spacious, and liberal imperialists. OLD
time wings, new-fangled radicals and
even pro- Beers found themselves cheek
by jowl and made themselves agreeable
to one another.
Social amities promoted good feeling
and the hostess was thanked silently as
the best politician in the party. The po-
litical salon triumphed after long
period of desuetude. At once there is a
shower of invitations to similar func-
tions.
This social campaign may serve more
purposes than one; apart from the benz
eficial result of bringing the liberal fac
tions together and putting rancOrous
and embittered politicians on their good
behavior, it may help to remove the re-
proach that the party has lost its social
prestige.

~Butte's Gay Street Fair L. Open. VA

This afternoon the Butte street fair
was opened and the institution organic
ed and promoted under the guidance Of
the Overland club is in full blast.
1t was an opening day of which all
who were connected with the enterprise
might well be proud. Even the clouds
gave the street fair the right of way
and the skies smiled upon TIE long line
of paraders marc hing to the cheering
music of two bands. 1t was such a
sight as has been frequently seen in
larger cities than Butte during recent
years since street fairs came into vogue.
but never until now did the capital of
Silver Bow county witness the result of
the enterprise of it's citizens in this
pleasing form. Thousands lined the
str sets along which the parade marched
and testified by well bestowed applause
End ks of approval that they liked
the street fair parade first rate and We're
glad to see the gates under the big arch
swung open at last.
The members of the Overland club who
have been hard At work for the past
month at TIE street fair headquarter rs at
tie Thornton hotel have ruch 20 be
congratulated upon today. !';,ey raised
city wit,in a city on East Granite
street and peopled it with residents of re-
E.cte nations of the earth and provided
entertainment and instruction for resi-
cents of Butte that could be secured in
no ct.ier way. The Street fair is bound
to be a success and with such an auspic-
Gus opening IS it had today it will in all
proba blity surpass the most sanguine
txn actations of it's promoters.
This mornings sun rose upon a dis
heFeled Main street of the little village
where the street fair is to be held. Lum-
l'er was strewn about and Workmen
were busy putting the finishing touches
On the booths. Hour by hour as the day
went on. order came out Of chaos and
the debris was carried away and be-
etowed out of sight and fluttering flags
took til place of unsighty bare walls
and the street fair took on an appear
ince of beauty. Along the extended
atretch of street unon which the fair is
held have been constructed 112 booths
i'y the merchants of the city of Butte.
These displays are the most elaborate
ever sesn in Montana and the choicest
goC DIS ever exhibited in the city are pa
rctied in he public view in the elegantly
appointed apartments provided for the
friends Of the business houses of the
city who call upon them at the fair.

AFTERNOON in an excellent manner.
The first division of the parade was
headed by platoon of police. Then
came the Boston & Montana band, the
chief marshal, Stephens and aides, the
king of the carnival, representative of
the state department of Montana and
representatives of the city of Butte
Following these came members of the
Overland club. comprising the first di-
vision of the parade.
The second division was headed by the
Montana State band and consisted of the
residents of the Midway section Of the
fair. The Algerian actors and dancers,
the Scotch. German and other repre-
sentatives all attracted marked atten-
tion from the thousands grouped and
clustered along the line of march.
At the corner of Main and Granite
streets a vast crowd had congregated
to witness the beginning Of the parade.
Main street was paved and guttered
with the crowd and ON Granite but
scant space was left for the paraders to
pass, so dense was the press of sight
seers along the line of march. The car
riages containing the members of the
city and state governments We're the OBJ
ject of attention in the first division and
in the second section of the parade the
carriages containing the members Of the
Midway colony were the center of at
traction. The bands played lively airs
and the marchers moved in time before
an appreciative crowd Of sightseers. It
was a huge success from beginning to
end.
No small degree of credit for the sue
cess of the street fair is due c. N. Cos
man, director general and H. O. Holp,
secretary. These gentlemen have had
charge OF the headquarters since they
were opened and have demonstrated that
they have the business we'll in hand and
that success is now within their reach.
The official souvenir book of the fair
has been issued and is beauty, giving
all the necessary information for the
guidance of visitors to the street fair
and the Oriental theatres which form
one of the principal attractions of the
place. The formal opening of the street
fair took place at the conclusion of the
parade this afternoon. Then Mayor
Davey, in the presence of the city coun-
cimen and other city officials passed
over the great copper key, emblematic
of the freedom of the city, to the King
of the Carnival, and the entrance to the
big arch was cleared for the reception of
visitors to the place. The attendance Of
the fair this afternoon will run far into
the thousands, the crowd is so great that
the tried managers of the place are With
difficulty keeping the great attendance
from resulting in crush that will be
| uncomfortable for the sightseers.
The admission to. the street fair viii
| be 10 cents, and to each of the attrac-
! tions a like sum will be charged but a
general admission ticket may be pur-
chased admitting the holder to all the
attractions making the admission to the
street fair and all the attractions 60
cents This is the rate of admission fixed
at a recent meeting of the Overland club
and it, all Things considered, is one that
should meet with popular favor.

liberal benches were emptied into the
