The official boards of the First Pres

berland and First Baptist churches
met in the session room of the Pres
byterian church Monday night to make
all necessary and final arrangements
for the revival services so near at hand
now.
The pastors of the different churches
are anxious that the people arrange
their business and social func-
tons so as to attend these SER
vices Sam Jones says that Mr..
Stewart is the finest preacher in
America. All who have heard Mr..
Stewart concur in this opinion. and
say he can preach Sam ''all to pieces. "
Mr.. Stewart has every week of his
time engaged for evangelistic work
from now until December year. That
alone proves his popularity and the
esteem in which he is held

singing this favorite song.
The union prayer service began last
night at the First Methodist church.
and will continue all this week
with the exception of Saturday night.
The music by the choral choir, led by
Mr.. Ramsey, will be an attractive
feature. Good soul-stirling songs
are always great help in any revival
service.
Rev. J. S. Foster, of Franklin,

Some time ago the Lewistown ARGUS
said that very few men in Fergus coun-
ty were taking advantage of the desert
land law to obtain land.-Great Falls
Tribune.
Well, now, the ARGUS has never said
anything of the kind, and perusal of
our files will show it, In reply TO the
charge that large outfits were taking
advantage of the desert land act to in
crease their holdings we mentioned the
fact that several of them in this county
have acquired more land by direct pur-
chase and through the medium of the
homestead act than by the desert land
law. And we contended at the same
time that the desert land law had
proved greater boon to ranchmen and
small stock owners of this county than
it had to corporations or "land grab
bers." OF course, il no land is being
taken up under the desert act, then it
might as we'll be repealed, as it is scrv-
ing no purpose. AS we have been ad-
vocating its retention, owing TO its ben
efits, how could we say that ''very few
men were taking advantage of the des-
ert land law?' Nothing will be gained
by misstatiug the facts.

tertaining the eminent colored educa-
tor did not attempt to establish social
custom. IL was a matter of business
and courtesy. He desired TO discuss in
privacy, conditions in the south and
get better knowledge of the race
problems of that section. OF course,
he had no idea of being contaminated
because Of the color of his guest. Soci-
ETY. and its customs were the farthest
from his thoughts lie was entertain
ing a gentleman and scholar Of high
attainments; the highest type of his
race. When the colored minister said
the negro did not ask or expect social
equality he was speaking of his race as
a whole. In this he showed his good
sense and it is quite likely that with
the gaining of education and intelli-
gence they will be even more sensitive
about intruding their presence upon
the whites in all social matters. Mr..
Washington has always regarded it a
delicate question and has aimed TO
avoid giving otfense. Notwithstand-
ing that the lines should be drawn as
regards commingling of the two races
in social functions, no president Of the
United States should ever hesitate TO
privately break bread with a man of
any race, not even an Indian or a
Chinaman, who has reached the high
estate in manhood, culture, learning
and craftsmanship which Booker L.
Washington has attained.

DON'T ASH FOR SOCIAL EQUALITY.

The negroes of North Carolina held
a state fair last week and at its opening
was addressed by Governor Aycocl1.
In his address the governor urged the
negroes ito build up a society among
themselves, founded on culture, intelli-
gence and virtue" He further said:
"The law which separates young white
people in the state socially has been
and always will be memorable, and it
need not concern you or me whether
the law is violated elsewhere, 1t never
will be violated in the south. Its vio-
lation would be more to your destruc-
tion as we'll as to the injury of the
whites"
In reply to the governors address,
DIR. King, prominent negro minister
of the Methodist church, said that the
negroes did not want social equality
nor did they want to dine at the table
with the whites. Now, what both the
white man and the negro said on this
occasion is doubtless true. They were
both speaking of the negro as race
of the masses Of the colored people.

President Roosevelt has issued his
first Thanksgiving proclamation, desig-
mating Thursday, the asth inst, as the
day to be observed. While the presi-
dent refers feelingly to the great ma
tional bereavement. yet he finds many
things for the people to be thankful
for, and Montana is not behind any
other state in the blessings that have
been bestowed. There is prosperity in
all industries and on every hand. Labor
is fully employed and well compen-
sated, and the outlook for the future is
as promising as at any other period in
the states history. Surely we, as a
people. have good reason for observing
the day.
