Queer Sign That May BE Seen Not
Many Miles from Lon
don.

The stranger in any city half hun
dred years old, if he knew anything
of the city's history, would learn
from many of the signs that the sec
ond and third generations had sue
ceeded to the business of father and
grandfather. 1t is especially true of
New York. The New York Times men,
tions some peculiar signs, and re-
lates the following, which we take
to'be true, although we do not vouch
for it:
A Londoner, who had strolled about
the streets of the city with a New
Yorker who called his attention to
some of the signs of sons, agreed
that in this respect New York was
very like London, but in neither city
was there any such sign as he saw
in one OF the old Engnsh towns a few
hours run from the worlds mctropo-
lis. The sign reads:

Mr.. BrYan'S View.

w. J. Bryan, in his Commoner, has
broken the silence in regard to the
Roosevelt Washington dinner. He is
very guarded in his comments on the
dinner, but what he says is very ad-
mirable. The following extract is
taken from the editorial in the Com
moner:
"No advantage is to be gained by
ignoring race prejudice; it is wiser to
recognize it and to make our plans con-
form to it. Race pride, like self-re-
spect, is valuable characteristic.
Race pride will do the negro good; he
has reason to be proud of what his race
has already accomplished and he can
employ all the energies of a strenuous
life in an effort to show that his race is
deserving of high place among the
races of the earth, and that place will
depend not upon social distinctions,
but upon mental breadth and moral
worth. The race question which we
have on hand will require for its
proper solution the intelligence and
patriotism of all the people, black as
we'll as white. The recent occurrence
at the White House will not make that
solution easier"
Mr.. Bryan has not heretofore held
the orthodox Southern view on the race
question, but there is nothing in the
above that any Southern man can tax e
exceptions to. Bryan is right. The
Roosevelt incident will not tend to set
tie the race problem.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.
Power and Carlisle the Win
ners for Secretary of State
and Treasurer.
The Result i'm Other States.

Partial returns from different por
tions of the State assure the election
of J. w. Power for Secretary of State
and q. w. Carlisle for Treasurer, in
Tuesdays election. The indications
are that Power will have nearly a
majority over all his competitors com
bined, while the contest between Car
Isle and Evans will be rather close
with Carlisle ahead.
The returns received up to this
morning from Al of the Is counties of
the State give the following vote for
Secretary of State: Power, 318;
George, 1895; Quinn, 1901; Eckford, 75l
Dial, GIL. 1t will be seen that Power
lacks, according to these figures, only
few hundreds of majority over the
entire field
Returns from the same counties for
secretary of State show that Carlisle
received 1914 and Evans $500.
IN OTHER STATES.
In Maryland and Kentucky the
Democrats win and will control the
Legislatures.
In Ohio. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachu-

to acquaint themselves with the true
nature of the land and the extent of
the developments done in the oil re-

superficial investigation returned to
Washington and reported in favor of
the segregation which has caused so
much uneasiness to the stockmen of

ONLY IN EMBRYO.
Commissioners Partially Decide Upon
Plan of Raising Exhibit Fund.


Plan Of Raising Exhibit Fund.
Nine of the Is members of the hon
orary commission appointed by the
governor met at Helena last Wednes-
day to talk over the situation and de-
the st. Louis exposition in 1903.
While not much was done beyond
effecting a temporary organization,
which was accomplished by the selec-
ton of A. J. Davidson of Helena as
temporary chairman and H. H. Matte
son of Great Falls as temporary sec
rotary, it appeared to be the opinion
of those in attendance that it would be
best to adopt what has become known
as the Minnesota Plan" BY this is
meant that the amount which it is de-
sired to raise should be first agreed
upon and then each county would be
called on to furnish it's portion Of the
total in accordance with the assessed
valuation OF all taxable property. AZ
ter having arrived at this conclusion
it was deemed proper that each county
in the state should be represented on
the commission, necessitating the ap-
pointment of IA additional commits
sioners. The governor was notified C
cordingly and promised to make such
appointments Immediately, in order
that a full. representation might be
present at the adjourned meeting,
which has been set for December S.
In the opinion of those at the meet
ing the state can make a creditable
exhibit at a cost net to exceed $4,000.
They also gave it as their belief that
no more than $25, 900 would be requir-
ed for the preliminary work, such as
erecting a state building and gathering
material for an exhibit, pending the
next regular session of the legisla-
| ture, which takes place in 1903, the
year of the exposition.
No action was taken in the matter
of Senator Clark's offer to contribute
$4,000 as a starter for a $500 fund.
It was decided that this could be taken
up at the next meeting or after more
| definite plans have been adopted.
A. E. Spriggs, who was n of the
delegates present, after the meeting
