BUTTE'S WARM CAMPAIGN.

Billings Gazette: Considering the diff
fel ence in the sizes of the two places,
butte is putting up about as warm a
city campaign as Chicago, and in some
respects can give it's larger sisters
rev pointers. The issues involved are
about the same. The wide OPEN ques-
ton enters about as prominently into
ono campaign as into the other and the
moral element apparently is regarded
anout the same. In each it is given to
understand that it should be glad that
it is tolerated, let alone trying to as
sert itself to the extent of attempting
to take hand in the game of regulating
municipal affairs.

A FALLEN IDOL.

Alas! what an awful fall there has
been in the case of the Filipino leader,
Aguinaldo. Only a few days ago the
entire anti-imperialstic press of the land
was calling him the George Washing
ton of the Philippines and now the same
press is calling him the worst sort of a
traitor because he has taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States. Even
the Anaconda Standard, which has been
one of his most persistent supporters.
defenders and apologsts. has gone back
on him and denounces him for having
betrayed and deserted his own followers
Verify these anti-imperialists are a queer
lot. In the past nothing has so delighted
them as the news hat the American arms
had met with a reverse in the Philip
pines; nothing so depressed them as to
learn that the Filipino banditti had met
with a rout. They cannot forgive their
erstwhile idol, Aguinaldo. for having per-
mtted himself to be caught mapping and
thus bringing all their hopes and predic-
lions to naught. They cannot even fore
go the exhibition of their chagrn and
disappointment by endeavoring to be-
little the achievement of the brave Fun
ston by denominating his wonderful piece
of strategy trick" These old
"Aunties" and "Grannies' are mad as
wet hens. They are inventng all sorts
of excuses and explanations to hide tn cir
chagrin and disgust over the prospect
of ~
able stopping Of bloodshed. They -e
all worked up over the fear that it NAV
not be necessary to increase the army
OF 100000 men and that they are going
to be deprived Of their demagogic cry
about great standing army with which
they have been trying to alarm the
American people for the past year.
Never in the history of American poll
tics has there been party SO completely
wrong In every way as this anti-im-
perlalistic party of the past two years:
wrong In their premises, wrong in their
conclusions, wrong in their predictions.
wrong in their attitude towards their
own country and their own government
They have blindly refused to see the true
facts of the whole situation; they have
perverted the truth of history; they have
maligned and misrepresented the brave
men who have been fighting the coun-
try's battles and defending the honor and
glory of the old flag, and have attri-
'buted to them words which they never
uttered and acts which they never COM
mitted, and to support their indefensible
position, they have persisted in accent
ing the word and statements of men in
arms against the lawful authority of
their own government rather than that
of men of irreproachable character who
are honored citizens Of their own coun-
try.
Truly the anti-imperialists are at this
moment objects of sympathy, more to be
pitted than scorned. for their idol has
been smashed and proven to be made of
the commonest kind of clay. And now
they are sorry, so sorry, that they ever
called him George Washington the II.

Our New Minister"

People who went to the Opera house.
last night, to see our New Minister.
witnessed one of the most thoroughly
flrst-claSS productions that has YET
been presented in Augusta. 1t might
have been expected that the play, COM
ing from the pens of Geo. w. Ryer and
Denman Thompson, who won his way
into the hearts of the people as Josh
Whitcomb," would prove something far
above the ordinary, and it certainly
was. 1t is a comedy drama of New
England life. not overdrawn. as such
dramas are apt to be. but true to ma
ture, and replete with such scenes and
situations as may be seen today, in any
country town, remote from the large
cities. The scenery was very realistic.
especially in the first act. in which was
shown the village store and post office.
1t was such scene as one can look
upon within few hours ride. any
day.
The success of the play was OF
course, to a large extent, due to the
eXcellency of the company presenting
it, and they We're, without single eX-
ception. very strong. The company was
evenly balanced. and possessed har-
mony of action that was productive OF
the best possible results. 1t would be
difficult to discriminate among them
but if it could be said that any of them
possessed a lustre a trifie more notice
able than that of the others. among the
list would be mentioned VIM. McNey
as ..Thaddeus Strong III. G. Carleton
as Lem Ransom" Joseph Conyers, as
, "Obadiah Burton" John Brawn, as
'Skeezics.' and Miss Anne Hathaway
as Nance Ransom.

Lafayette Band air,

Last evening was the third and last
night of the Lafayette Band fair at Me-
oman hall. The people who got up the
fair deserve great praise for their efforts
in furnishing the programs which they
have given each night, ana they are
somewhat repaid in their success. The
fair has been success in furnishing Il
good time for those who attended. and
again in financial way, for the com
mittee in charge hardly dared hope to
clear as much as they have cleared.
The program. last evening. was Of an
entirely different sort from thar of the
TWO previous nights. The first was a
band concert for half hour. followed by
a dance with music by Carey's Orchestra
Following the dance or rather at a re-
cess in the dancing came the presentation
of the gifts. Alphonsc Ruel received the
gold watch. having l0,7S5 votes to 1919 ior
