Some of the best informed cotton
men, both north and south, are adj
vocating, in the strongest manner,
that farmers hold their cotton for a
better price, which they say is COM

that the crop is short, the demand
excellent, and if farmers part with
their crop at present prices they will
regret it.

A WAL FROM wIrpSG Willy.

Mr.. Bryan. IN his Commoner. says:
"The Republican farmers and laboring
men who have been contributing from
their scanty incomes to help the pro
tected manufacturers do not minglc
with the bcncfciaries of the tariff AT
the watering places" This is in keep
ing with that other dcmagogic remark
of his. made during the campaign in
speaking OF the EVAN" faces OF women

he is sad because laburiug men are not

haps they wouldprcfrr some other kind
of leisure or amusement. And are
laboring men the only ones who cannot
afford 10 spend the summer nj the
watering places? There are thousands
in every calling who cannot spare the
time or money IN visiting watering
Places There are business men all
over the country who have been at their
desks from one year To- n quarter "
a century who feel that they cannot
afford 20 spend their vacations at
watering places" Does il followthat
they are not doing a good business aud
that the country is not generally pros
porous? And that If they are not, the
fault il not with the domestic or iinan-
cial policy of the country? Wise poll
cicS will give every man an opportunity,
but the government cannot give him
brains. make him frugal. industrious or
temperate. Circumstances and good
fortune have done much for some peo-
pie in this world. We may envy them,
but no one but a cheap and cunning
~demagogue would blame the govern
ment because seventy million Of people
were not able Ia visit the sea shore dur
ing the heated term. When you find n
man who even i~nsinuatcS that these
conditions can be changed by some
miraculous sociological evolution or
npheaval you can chalk him DOWN as a
sourcd and embittered dcmagoguc who
can find no better use for his wits than
in appealing to prejudiccs of the ig-
norant.
The happiness and welfare OF man
kind is the rue object of all govern
ment and there never was a time since
this government was established that
the masses were in better circumstances
than they are today, and conditions are
constantly improving. Happily the
country ayerted the fate that would
have bcfallcn il had the theories and
vagarics of W. j. Bryan been put into
practice.

LAROR DAY CELEBRATION.

Practically the first observance If
labor day, 50 far as any demonstration
goes, occurred on Monday last under
the auspices Of Lcwistown Labor Union
No. 1876. The parade and floats, in
which a number Of Lewistown business
houses were represented, were very
creditablG. Some were ta~>tcfully ar
ranged, while others were unique and
humorous. This feature of the annual
parade will doubtless be enlarged upon
in future celebrations of thcday. While
they incur some expense and trouble
they add greatly as an attraction many
civic demonstration.
II can be said TO the credit of those
participating in the celebration that
good order prevailed in all Of the cxer-
ciscs Of the day and if there were dis.
appointment rs regards the program il
wasn't due to any lack Of effort on the
part Of the union. The strength Of the
several organizations represented is in
dicatiye Of the growth Of Ltwistown
and the development Of our mining in
dustry.
a. pc one al question the right Of
labor 10 organize these annual cclcbra-
tions should De recognized and partici.
patcd in by citizens generally in the in
tercst of harmony and the welfare of
the community.
In the iHcipicncy OF these organila-
tions the men who compose them should
be careful OF several things. They
should be cautious in selecting their
leaders or officers, reasonable in their
demands and, above all, stand firm
against the use Of their organizations as
II vehicle to further the political ambi-
ton Of INSCRIPTIONS demagogucs
There is a suspicion now, which we
trust is ungrounded, that certain poll
ticians are playing TO secure the favor
of these organizations. Such men are
usually the me who have done and
are doing the least to provide employ
ment for labor.
Therefore, we say to laboring men,
be careful. Let the moral and financial
good of your order be the watchword
and you will not want for friendsi in any
laudable endeavor and your annual
gatherings and celebrations will in
time become one of the greatest vents
in the county. Turned into n political
organization distrust and disintegration
will follow.

MINIATURE LANDSCAPES.
How Hills, Valleys and Ponds Are
Reproduced In Paper Models.

hAoh hhAtANf fhAAtst uhu LOnUh are
Reproduced In Paper Models.
Building up the country" Is an I'M
%dcrtnking which may be approached in
many ways, but perhaps few people
know that the phrase can be literally
applied to the work that Is constantly
being done In miniature by to~pograph-
lcal engineers. The process, which Is
remarkable for its simplicity, is well
Illustrated by n series Of models in the
civil engineering department Of the
Massachusetts Institute OF Technology
In Boston, where the building up Of
certain sections OF the country has be.
come m everyday matter.
A piece Of country is selected, for OK.
pie, which includes a pond, a valley
and n range of hills. The engineer
makes n map Of the selected region.
starting with the line Of the shore Of
the pond, which naturally gives him
his lowest level. Another line, which
skirts the valley and perhaps sur
rounds n hill. represents n level some
what above that of the surface Of the
pond. At succeeding levels other lines
are drawn. each following the confor-
nation Of In" country Mt Il definite alti.
tudc, until the hllltops are finally
shown within a series of enclrcling ir-
regular lines.
To make his profile model from these
data the engineer starts with a sheet
Of cardboard the size of the map. This
Is supposed to represent the level Of
the water in the pond. Another piece
OF cardboard has a hole cut In ii to
represent the pond itself and Is pasted
to the first piece. 4 third piece of
cardboard Is cut TO conform to the lines
Of the next level and pasted upon the
second, and this process Is repeated
for each counter line until step by
step the hills are built up. The result
Is n rough model of the whole region
TO be Illustrated. the successive alti.
tudes being shown by regular steps,
each rs high as the thickness of the
cardboard. Then. with plaster of paris
or putty. the angles between the sue
ccsslve layers Of cardboard are filed
in, and the result Is n miniature re-
production Of the pond, valley and
hills.
From this finished model a plaster Of
paris cast can be obtained which will
serve as n mold from which TO make as
many papler mache reproductions of
the original as may be desired. In
the classroom. indeed, an instructor
often passes out to his students a mum.

INDEPENDENT ACTION or LABOR.

Under the above caption the Butte
Inter Mountain states some facts that
laboring men should consider well be.
fore going into politics with their or
CARNATIONS. 1t is doubtful whether
by this means they could better their
condition. Holding the balance Of
power they are in better shape to ask
for concessions and 90 receive them
than by dividing their strength and
thus creating too many parties, as in
very exceptional eases Of numerical
strength they are likely to be found in
the minority when the votes are count
ed, the fcalty of old party names and
organizations being too strong in this
country. The Inter Mountain very
truly says:
The Inter Mountain has no fault 10
find with the representatives of labor
who met at Anaconda last week and
declared themselves in favor of indie
pendent political action 10y the sons of
toll in the future politics Of this state.
The founders Of this republic intended
that every public wrong should be
rcdrcsscd at the polls by the ballots Of
law abiding citizens. The franchise
is the only effective and Legitimate
means Of iu,tituting reforms and this
newspaper will congratulate any body
of men who in the effort TO improve
their condition favor n resort 90 the
ballot for the accomplishment Of their
purposes, IT is the opinion ofthe Inter
Mountain that the Republican party is
the very best friend of the toilcrs of
this country; that it is the only party
that has ever accomplished anything
for the wage carncrs OF the land and
that it may hc safely trusted to settle
wisely and speedily every economic
problcm now before the public, II i,
the party that has brought about the
present wonderful prosperity 10 all
CLASSES Of the pcuplc-a prosperity that
has made the United States the envy
of the world aud mas given to our peo-
pie more comfort for less money, and
steady work for mGrc money than they
ever knew before. II was the republic
can party that built up the INDUSTRIES
which consume Montana copper and
wool and give employment to both
capital and labor despite the draw
backs Of democratic victory last fall
and the menace of corruption in official
life. The Republican party is rcspon-
siblc for whatever measure of security
and contcntment the people enjoy.
Nevertheless il il be the opinion of the
representatives Of labor that they
should take independent political ac-
ton, they are but exercising the high
est privileges of American citizenship
aud this newspaper only INDUCES the
hope that if they put up n ticket in the
next state campaign it will be a good
one and not partake of the nature Of a
tail Ia the democratic kite, as was the
ease last year.

As the position of the ARGUS regard
ing the social evil in Lewistown has
been stated there is no necessity for
adding anything more Our view is in
accord with the action taken by the
city council. If the abode of the demi
monde is too central il is a matter that
should have been considered years ago,
when one cor two houses occupied the
block. The quarter is practically O
demncd for the purpose for which it is
used and if the Objectionable occupants
were removed it would be of little
value for years owing to its past asso-
Citations, and if driven elsewhere ia the
city nothing on the lines Of morality
and good order would be accomplished.
Restriction and rigid control willproye
the most effective in combating the
evil.
