U~NTRUTHFUL AND VICIOUS.

The weather over on the west side
must be much warmer than in the
eastern part of the state, or else too
much unripe fruit and backing the
wrong ponies has caused the leading
democratic newspaper of Montana to
sour on the world. Whatever the
cause, its digestive organs seem to
be out of order and it appears to be
suffering from an over secretion of
bile. Only on some such assumption
can be explained it's vicious attack on
h president which marked it's issue of
last Tuesday. Suffering from one or
all of the mentioned, it sought
relief from pain by scoring the pres
ldent for being responsible for the war
with Spain and the subsequent events
in the Philippines. 1t says that if a
man unswayed by popular clamor and
passing passion and undeterred by the
lgnoble fear of loss of partisan adj
vantage had been at the head of the
executive affairs there would have
been no needless and wasteful war.
Going on in that strain, it says Will
liam Mckinley was ~terrorized when
the crisis came and~utterly unable to
stem the fierce tide that was making
for war, and then laments that he
did moi recognize his great opportun.
ity and turn that tide instead of float
ing with it like a chip.
The charge is as untrue as it abb
surb, but were the contrary the truth
our atrabiliary contemporary should
be the last n to raise it's voice at
this time. for the party it repre-
sents it was one of those who
clamored loudest for the war it
now says was cowardly and unneces-
sary. Before the awful clash
came that newspaper and it's
party engaged in accusing the
president Of cowardice and weakness

AN AMERICAN SUNDAY.

The Rev. J.. Minot Savage of New
York, whose recent liberal u]tterances
have caused much comment among
the ministry and laity, shows himself
not to be bound by the confines and
limitations of the theological field. In
fact. he seems to show a total disre-
gard for many of the things which go
to make up the cult of the ordinary
ministers and possesses a mind of
such great l~iberality and is so free in
expressing views conflicting with
those OF the more orthodox of his
calling that he is liable to find him
sci up some day to answer to the
charge of heresy. His latest utter
ances along the line not accepted as
regular were contained in a sermon
which he delivered on the subject of
Sunday observance. He shocked the
adherents to the old notions of the
proprieties by declaring that he saw
no i'll n spending a part of the day in
seeking healthful recreation and en-
joyment. II have not a word to say
against Sunday amusements." he said.
Ihere is no reason in the Bible or
ecclesiastical history for the existence
the Puritanical or ordinary Ameri-
can Sabbath. Set apart Sunday morn
ing for communion with God then use
the rest of the day for such recreation
as will make you better physically"
No doubt the reverend gentleman
mas received rebukes ere this from
ministers who believe in what he calls
the "Puritanical or American Sab
bath. yet Mr.. Savage's remarks are
only in keeping with the ideas and be
hefs OF those who regard the worship
OF God as a joyous rather than a
mournful duty, to be accompanied by
all the solemn and woeful demeanor
attendant of a funeral. God has given
life to man. to be enjoyed as a pleas.
IRE and while He expects and exacts
due homage from His creatures He
does not demand that they shall S
through their worldly probation with
depressed minds and downcast coun-
tenances. License need not follow as
an adoption OF the suggestions of Mr..
Savage. for rest and recreation after
worship are not only good for the body
but tend to exalt the mind and place
It in proper condition for the recep-
tion OF things spiritual and the con
temptation Of matters above the ev-
eryday aitairs OF the world. With
such 1 Sunday rs he advocates church
going viii increase and the people as
. whole win be bettsr for the change.

Nebraska Hot and Dry.

Lincoln, July 1.-THE maximum
temperature for Lincoln and the
southern half of Nebraska dropped
two degrees today to 101. Hot winds
continue, however. Fear of a water
famine exists in many towns. At St.
Paul ,Neb, the Burlington depot to-
day burned up because there was no
water to fight the flames. Near Platts-
mouth sparks from an engine ignited
a stock a and "a horses burned.
Near Nebraska City sparks fell in a
wheat field and the entire crop, in
shock, was consumed.

Great Falls rejoices in the fact that
Mr.. Carnegie was not busy the day
her letter reached him. He has just
answered it and the coy and
blushing little thing that nothing
would give him more pleasure than to
send her his personal check for the
little sum of 100000 provided she
guarantees. to raise $4,000 annually
for the maintenance Of the library
she says she wants SO badly. AL
though she is not certain about her
ability to raise the required annuity,
the naughty thing is already putting
on airs over her sisters of the state
because she is the only one selected
among them all to receive proof Of
Andy's affection. Probably Billings
might also have his name on her list
had she done like her shameless sister
up on the Missouri-boldly 'braced"
him for the money. But she had too
much regard for her maidenly mod
esty and as a result has a library,
much better than Great Falls can aver
hope to have, and it was given to
her without as much as hint to the
donor that she would like to have a
new library as trimming for her
party dress.

TO FIT II CRIME.

Since the recent robbery of the
Great Northern train some of the
newspapers of the northwest are
agitating the ~advisablity Of following
the example of some of the western
and southwestern states, which have
enacted laws making train robbery a
capital o%ffense. The suggestion seems
to meet with a favorable reception
from the Montana papers that have
taken up the matter and were the
legislature to meet within a reason
able time no doubt a bill for such
a law would be presented. Exper-
fence has demonstrated the restrain
ing effects of such a law by
the decrease in that particu--
lar species of crime in the states
where the law is in force and where
prior to it's adoption train robberies
We're of comparatively frequent &C.
%currence. 1t is argued for such a law
that train robbery is a form of crime
that may involve murder in it's COM
cission, in fact, the chances are that
murder will accompany it and the
victim is usually some innocent pas
senger or the faithful guardian of
property entrusted to his care. Men
who are desperate enough to deliber-
ately stop a train for the purpose of
robbery are also desperate enough not
to let the matter of taking human life
stand in the way of the success Of
their undertaking.
The Tacoma Ledger is one of the
newspapers which has devoted space
to a discussion of the Wagner holdup
and says: 1.-THE bandits in Montana
are reported to have made a consid-
cradle haul, and a large reward is Of
fered for them, dead or alive. The size
of the haul, however, is of little con
Germ. The losing company is we'll
able to stand this. The point at issue
is the right of the American citizen
to cross the land of his birth without
having a cutthroat stop him, threaten
his life, and perhaps take it. The men
who rob trains are assassins. They
deserve no other treatment than that
given the footpad who Stays on the
highway"
The plane on which the Tacoma
newspaper considers the question is,
Derhaps. a higher one than is usually
advanced by those who advocate hang
ing for train robbers, but it does not
detract from the strength Of the argu-
ment for such a law. On the con
trary, 1t gives it additional force and
is another reason why the severest
penalty possible should be imposed
as punishment for those guilty OF the
crime.

than many now do and instead Of
looking upon it as a day. the only one
which many have for recreation and
rest, of gloom and modification of
the flesh will hail it's advent as a
pleasant relief to the worries and
labors Of the ordinary work days. It
will be a Sunday favored by the ma
jority of the American people and in
accord with their sentiments upon the
subject.

this is the worst drouth since 1860 in
Kansas.

Judging from their reception of the
Dowieites the Evanstonians have a
strong leaning toward the Baptist
faith and apparently could be more
easily converted by missionaries of
that belief than by any followers of

them.

Although liberated from prison, the
Younger brothers are not absolutely
free men. Instead of being pardoned,
they have simply been paroled under
a law of the state of Minnesota and
may not leave the state at any time.
In addition they must also make
personal report to the superintendent
of the prison at regular intervals.
Even this no doubt they consider bet
ter than being confined between the
walls of the prison in which they have
spent a almost a quarter of a cen
fury. BY their excellent behavior

friends in st. Paul and Minneapolis,

Of those friends they will be given
clerical positions in one of those

evidence they have given of their
thorough reformation is such as to
warrant belief in the sincerity of
their professions of a desire to lead
honorable and honest lives during the
short time they may reasonably ex-
pect to remain on earth. The joy
that is felt by their old friends and
associates in Missouri over the fact
Of their liberation must be married
somewhat by the knowledge they
may not return there to spend the
rest of their lives among them.

II some Of the reports sent out from
that region are to be relied Upon as
representing that exact conditions OBJ
tanning there, the efforts making to
arrest the perpetrators of the recent
Great Northern train robbery are not
marked by all the evidences Of sin
certify. One mar declares that a
posse in pursuit came within four
miles of the robbers, who were said
to be travelling slowly, and when in
formed of the proximity of the gang
cut across the country and struck the
road some distance in advance Of
Curry and his fellows and then trav-
eled faster than ever, not slowing UP
to give the road agents a chance to
get within hailing distance. Forum
ately for the good name of the posse
the story lacks confirmation and is
not generally believed. Still. it would
not be so very wonderful should it
happen to be true. The men who
robbed the train are known as bad
and desperate and who you'd have
little scruple in killing off a posse if
they deemed it necessary for their
own personal safety. Even the know
ledge that ones heirs are certain to
be paid the reward is hardly sufficient
~inducement for running up against the
loaded guns of outlaws for whose ar
rest an express company is willing to
pay handsomely. Then, too, the ex-
press company and not the posses
were robbed.
