Yesterdays cotton market gave a new

but the smallpox was still prolific.
Finally they called the physician in
charge upon the carpet and he stout
ly averred that there was no possible
chance of contagion from his person,
as he was very particular in regard
to fumigation and the use of disin-
fectants. The committee could not
grasp the assertion that this doctor
was immune, because he was a doctor
and requested him to stay at the pest
house while he was physician in
charge or they would force him to.
The doctor was indignant and offer
ed his resignation, which was prompt
ly accepted, and he himself was quar-
antined until the succeeding physician
consented to permit him to again mix
with the crowd. The new physician
is obliged by the committee to re
main with his patients and a guard
takes care that the quarantine is pre-
served.

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1901.
RIGHT OF PERSONAL LIBERTY.

The great principle of personal lib
erty was expounded in Chicago court
the other day when Judge Holden
had before him aunion laborer charged
with assaulting another. who had
refused to quit work when a strike
was declared. The defendants at
torney plead for his client on the
ground that he had been sufficiently
punished. but the court looked at the
matter differently. His opinion is
worthy of preservation and he added
a short sentence in the county Jail
during which time the culprit might
digest his opinion. Judge Holden said:
''The assault and battery is not so
serious. on it's face. but there is great
principal at stake-the principle of
personal liberty, guaranteed by the
constitution. When Kelly was ut
work on contract with which he
was satisfied, no official or individual
has right to interfere with him.
True. Kelly was a member of the
union. as was Hill. He had a right
to be. and it was his duty to obey the
rules of the union. When he refus-
ed, however. the union had it's redress
in disciplining him and expelling him.
1t had no right to send committee to
interfere and assault him. Let us
not forget these basic principles of our
liberty. We in America boast of a
liberty unknown elsewhere. In this
instance the effect of the assault was
not on Kelly alone, but upon the prin-
ciples of our constitutional rights.
don't want to be understood as oppos-
ing unions. believe in the rights
of men to form unions and believe
that they make for improvement and
good"

DEFENDER OF WHAT FAITH?

In the house of commons recently,
William Redmond, Irish nationalist,
gave notice that he would take an
early opportunity of informing King
Edward that he had no earthly right
to use the title of defender of the
faith" The argument came up on
Mr. Redmonds question as to whether
the title would appear on the new
coins made, and, if so. what particu.
lar faith was meant. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach. replied that so long as
the kings titles remained unaltered
they would appear on the coins. Then
Mr. Redmond protested and was call
ed to order.

Editor BEEN late editorial you
mention the large number of men in

to spend their evenings, and leisure
hours. You might have added more
and made vivid picture of the
meals at a restaurant and then being
adrift until time to retire to a cheer
less lodging room--if the homeless
one be fortunate enough to have even
that much This condition of so
large a number should be impressed
upon the hearts of every one who has
an interest in the welfare of our city
Yesterdays Bee informed the public
that we have a few philanthropists
in our midst, at great expense, have
come to Kalispell and are conducting
a place of free entertainment and lodg.
ing for those who are adrift here.
Now it scarcely seems fair that our
citizens should depend upon strang-
ers to come here bringing with them
so much money and spending it so
freely for a town in which they have

ed quarters that but few can be ac.
commodated there, We have six or
seven churches in town which are
opened but few hours each week.
That the church privileges are appre-
ciated is attested by the large num-
Der of young men who attend the
services. Now, why not make our
churches a place of resort for those
who wish a comfortable place, with
good company, good reading, games.
etc. etc. l am a church woman, but
contrary to the usages of thu churches
think the salvation of humanity will
be accomplished in this manner much
more surely than by sermons and
prayers alone.
Open the church doors, put pleas
ant person in charge, whose heart is
filled with love for God and man, and
let be understood that all are welcome
during every day and evening A wide
awake person might conduct Bible
class at stated hour for those who
wish to attend. Short talks might
be given at times on interesting cur
rent. or scientific themes. Music could
be provided for, and with such priv
ileges as could be further suggested
kalispell would become a place where
parents would be glad to bring their
families.
Church officials should not object
to this use of Gods house, and the
attendant expense would be more than
made up by lessening of the taxes
which existing conditions require. Elk.
pense should not be thought of in
connection with such a scheme, for
the high duty we owe our brother de.
mands liberal use of the means we
hold as Gods stewards. This can
not be called political scheme, but
if the churches would take an inter.

make the church resort as pleasant
as possible we would no longer be put
to shame by having outside philan-

money doing that which we should do

Santa Claus

lCopsright, 1901, by American Press Association
Santa Claus has a local habitation and
q name. so the only way for him to cover
the wide realm occupied by his dear chill
dren is to have a lively gait when the
time comes. He was born in Myra, in
Asia Minor. He grew to fame and inn
portance in Myra, and he was buried in
Myra, but the whole world pretty much
has known him a thousand years, yet not
one In a million of his benefciaries ever
saw Myra or ever heard of it. st. Nicho-
las, the original Santa Claus, was a won
derful child. He could do anything. As
soon as he could walk he began to travel
around and pry into other peoples At
fairs. But this was not idle curiosity.
