THE "nOlDUP" INDUSTRY,

That form Of robbery known in the
up is becoming too frequent of late. In
the city of Butte such crimes have been
only occasional heretofore, and their fire.
Quency during recent weeks has natural
~ aroused inquiry respecting their
source. The reason is not far to seek.
The sporting season in the city of Butte
has been long one this year. 1t has at
tracted an element to the city which is
yaluelass to the community. Living with
out work and trained to believe labor
dishonorabe the ''touts,'' "pikers' and
such followers of races and habitues OF
sporting resorts turn easily to crime.
The nightly depredations upon the
streets of Butte are made by the men,
beers of this band of importa tons and the
sooner the city is rid of their presence
the better The Inter Mountain makes
note Of the fact in justice to the men,
bers of this community who while work.
ing with their hands can i'll afford to
have the suspicion Of law1essness rest
upon them. The majority of our new
Corners are industrious, ambitious, honest
and law-abiding. They earn their living
by hard labor, pay their debts, looking
the world in the face in full confidence
that the reward Of industry is worth
striving for. They have nothing in COM
mon With the idle and vicious characters
who have drifted here TO enjoy the
Chequered fortune of the sporting season
and who despise honest toll. The more
home seekers who come to settle down
in Butte, the greater will be the city 5
prosperity, but every addition to the ele-
ment of idlers is an injury to the city S
reputation and menace to public safety.
None realize thesS truths more than the
better class of racing men themselves.

the HUNTING SEASON.

Today the game laws Of the state OF
Montana give sportsmen permission to
indulge their fondness for hunting. Roy
al sport is to he had in sections where
game is abundant. From every town
and city in the state hunting parties will
go into the wilds in search of game, for
ahe Nontanian is born hunter or has
an acquired zest for cunning. 1t will be
many a day before Montana echoes the
COMPLAINT of eastern states and laments
the disappearance of the wild game.
Laws wisely enacted are enforced with
tmpartiaity and hunting out of season
ana the wanton destruction of game is
prevented. Montana has long been known
a. a hunters PARADISE and will, under
s,e.laper administration Of its game laws,
rnntinue to deserve this designation. In
sba CITY of Butte and in the various cities
.n5 towns of the state parties are being
or.anized and QUILTED. The sport that
as 10 be had by resident hunters has
hrousat sportsmen across the continent
And the delights of a Montana hunting
Arin have attracted royalty from Europe.

TALKING OF TIE MORAtRS.

Martin Elliott's speech to his co.
informal ton. Evidently he has gone into
the books for many of the facts upon
which he bases his very interesting de-
auctions. His speech and the interest
which it awakened confirm what the
Inter Mountain said en- Saturday con-
Hernins the value of the Butte public
library as a source Of Information and $
an influence for good dncps the workers
Of Butte. That lib any furnishes to the
men who Toll an armor which the shafts
OF malice and passion and ignorance may
not penetrate. 1t so equips each man
that he may do his own thinking, ascer-
tain from the record of the past what
information is most useful in shaping
his own future; learn to distinguish the
rant Of the Gemagogue and agitator from
the advice c. the unselfsh counsellor and
fellow workman who thinks of others
first and himself last; it teaches that
labor is ennobling and necessary for
every mans happiness as we'll as for
the worlds rr1 sress; it shows that the
man who, for pay or notoriety, seeks to
array class against class, or make labor
suspicious of capital or capital afraid CT
Labor, OF either antagonstic to the other
IS the worst enemy of all honest men.
There are many reforms needed in exist
Ing economic conditions, but they can
be obtained only by calm discussion,
mutual concession or good-tempered ar
bitration, not by shallow abuse or malev-
client misrepresentation of either side.
Lane and Elliott today tempera tely point
OUT course to follow, and the good
sense of their fellow workers will incline
them to adopt every wise and patriotic
suggestion offered on behalf of create.
freedom. more certain justice and inn
proved industrial and moral and intel
lectual conditions.

Our Girls Can't Dance.

ph;,,de,nhia Inquirer: And 1t so APP
pears that our American girls are unpop-
Mar in London because they cannot dance
nroperlv. This is sad; in fact. heartrend-
ing. we should be inclined to doubt the
statement if it did not come from hlgh
authority. i ais person says That If Amer
lean girls want to shine at the coronation ION
functions next year they must learn the
Erg,ish way of dancing at once and prac-
tice it. He says that our girls are ridicu!,
Gus when dancing: that their verucal
demonstrations are exaggerated. not TO
saw grotesque. Their bodies sway ao-
surdly, and .ney attempt to lead rather
than to follow their male companions.
we are then told how gracefully the Eng
fish girls dance. largely because they allow S'.
the man to do all the work. ana tnes
simnly accommodate their movements
nerfectly to those of their companions
All of which may be true. and II may
not. We believe this Is the first time tne
distinction has ever been made. ana un.il

question there is no use in conceding II.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

Tomorrow the teachers institute Of
Silver Bow county begins in this city.
This feature of the work of the teachers
is one of the most interesting and profit
able tasks Of the year. The teachers of
the city schools assemble in general ses-
sion for the study of such subjects as
are Of common interest. and meet in Sec
tions presided over by trained educa-
tors. for the purpose OF discussing special
branches of school work. Montana is
fortunate in having within her borders
several eminent educators who are COM
petent and experienced in the work Of
conducting institutes. The corps of in
stitute Instructors made up by the state
board of education is an able one. It's
members come from the ranks Of the
teachers of the west who have won emil
nence along special lines, and the work
they do at the institutes of the state Is
Of immense value to the public school
system. Public schools in Montana are
well equipped. teachers are we'll paid.
and each year at the institutes held in
the counties Of the state the teachers
are brought in touch with new ideas VAL
liable in the work Of the school room.
The instructors at the state schools
located at Missoula: Dillon and Bozeman
take prominent parts in institute teach
ing and lead the way in the advanced
work the teachers must engage in to
keep abreast Of the times. Silver Bows
institute is. of course, the larges, in the
state. Here. tomorrow, the teachers
will gather to hold one of the largest in
stitutes in the northwest. The Inter
Mountain bespeaks for the visiting
teachers hearty welcome, and suggests
to residents of Butte who are inter-
ested in educational matters that they
visit the institute during it's four-days'
session.

EX-Congressman Lentz of Ohio is one
Of the most blatant demagogues in this
country. In congress he was national
nuisance with his hypocritical harangues
intended to create dissension between
capital and labor. He was one of the
noisiest opponents of what he called
government by Injunction" which
honest in his expressions. In private
life he is a changed man, and only a
few days ago applied to court for an
injunction against the employment of
"pickets' during a strike in which he
is interested. The Memphis Commercial
Appeal tells the story as follows
That valiant enemy of trusts and COM
bines and sworn friend of the laborins
man, Congressman Jay Jay Lentz OF
Ohio has actually gone before a federal
judge and asked for an injunction re-
straining strikers from putting out pick
cts. Lentz was one of the most mouthy
and vociferous among the new light
evangels in denouncing the tyranny OF
capital, and in condemning government
by injunction. Every one who knew
Lentz at the time knew that he was
pretty much of wind instrument and
an expert in handing gullible people hot
air, but few believed he would come out
so soon and expose himself. Lentz is
going the way of all agitators.
With Lentz in favor Of injunctions,
with Pettigrew wealthy from stock spec
ulation. with Bryan and Towne inter-
ested in Oil corporations and selling
stock therein, with Chairman Jones at
the head Of the Cotton Bale trust, Croker
and Van Wyck in the Ice trust, Monnett
of Ohio turned down in the Ohio demo-
cratic convention, and the Kansas City
platform spurned in the democratic con-
ventions of four states, what will be-

Reflections of q Bachelor.
