THE HOLIDAY INTER MOUNTAIN.

Tomorrow the Inter Mountain will issue
its holiday number. 1t is the belief OF this
newspaper that il will be the brightest and
best holiday number ever issued IN the
state-and this is said with full knowl-
edge and appreciation OF what the other
large newspapers OF the state have done
in the way of splendid holiday editions.
A hot pace has been set by the other news
papers OF the state; the Inter Mountain
feels that it is making that pace little
hotter.
The holiday Inter Mountain will contain
60 pages, a prominent feature OF which
will be the magnificent illustrations. Some
newspapers have issued larger papers not
one ever printed paper containing so
many or such fine illustrations One OF
the most attractive things in the number
will be four page color supplement the
pictures for which were made in the Inter
Mountain plant by new and high-class
process used for the first time. 1t is pro-
cess which is destined TO revoutionizc
it gives better and more artistic results
than any other process known.
The resources, industries and enter
prses of the state will be described III a
most interesting and accurate manner and
fully illustrated. In addition there will be
large number Of special articles prepared
for this number by prominent Montana
men and women of recognized literary
ability Some Of these are historical in
character others are most entertaining
bits Of Montana fiction, based on historical
incidents, These special features are OF
the highest character and would be worthy
the pages OF any high class magazine All
in all, the holiday Inter Mountain will be
newspaper notable in the history oi
Montana journalism.

AMATEUR SPORT.

There arc immense opportunities hnan-
cialy in modern amateur sport, II stores
from California be true The sporting
writer's report that Stanford and Cali
fornia met recently and cut up S23,2oS.
After all expenses were paid each college
management had $S,SIS7s' The returns
are nearly as good in football, apparently,
as in high class pugilism. OF course the
management has to have more perform
crs. but they come cheap in a college, ex-
ccpt in a few instances, the management
getting them for little more than cx-
pcnscs and the usual college fees. 1t
might pay some J. Perpont Morgan OF
the sporting world to organize the foot
ball industry on sound financial basis
and then gather in the profits.
The original idea of amateur sport
was that money should no, figure in the
matter at all. that exhibiting ones self
in any arena or any athletic field Tor
money was professionalism pure and sim
pie; that when an admission fee was
charged to witness a contest that contest
became AT once a professional event 1t
was understood in the old time that true
sport was followed for sports sake and
not to enrich the Golfers of any athletic
association, collegiate or otherwise. These
ideas sill prevail in such unenlightcncd
institutions as the naval academy at An
napolis and the military academy at West
Point The cadets. who, above all things,
are required to be gentlemen, are not per-
mttcd to play on fields where admission
fees are charged.
1t is said that the profits OF the athletic
associations Of some of the larger Eastern
colleges amount to $roo,ooo year. In
view Of the high prices charged for seats
this seems not improbable. II makes
small difference whether the money goes
directly into the pockets OF the players
or into the treasury OF their asso-
citation; the general public produces
the cash the same as it would
| produce TO witness prize fight.
| But this we are told, is not professional
ism. Advocates OF the present system say
| that without an admission charge there
could be no athletics, but the experience
Of Stanford. California, and the larger
colleges shows that there is but modcr'
ate amount OF truth in the statement
Such profits smack too much Of CONNER
cialism to bear out the contention tha
the money is required only for necessar,
expenses.
1t may be that modern football
noble game in itself--is conducted OH al
amateur basis When, however, coleg
associations CLEAN profits from a season
play that mount up into the thousands tn
thing smacks all too strongly of profes
sionalsm Certainly such conduct Of spor
does not conform to the pure standards G
amatcurism.

INCREASE THE NAVY.

1t is coming TO be pretty well recog-
nizcd fact that the use of an army and navy
is not to make war, but to prevent it.
Especially is this true of a navy in this
age Of competition among nations for the
worlds commerce. That country which
has a formidable navy is pretty safe from
aggression by a foreign power. If Spain
had understood exactly the superiority OF
Our navy over her little fourth-rate collec-
tion OF warships perhaps there would
have been no Spanish American war.
All this is pertinent to what the presi-
dent said in his message about the neces-
sty Of strong and efficient navy to pre-
vent our proclamations Of the Monroe doc
trinc from becoming waste paper We
have good navy just now, an excellent
navy as nayies go, though not SO great as
some, but il is OF prime necessity that the
navy be kept up to the mark and that w
let no nation outstrip us too far. Thi.
fact is being sharply emphasized by the sit
uation in South America. Though Ger
many and England each has a stronge,
navy than the United States has the differ
ence is not yer so great as to Watran

# THEY CAN FIND
THAT CONSPIRACY
TO CORNER COAL Is ON, CHICAGO
OFFICIALS WILL PROSECUTE
THE DEALERS IN FUEL.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Chicago, Dec. 3I.-The investigations
begun yesterday by Attorney General Ham
lin and by the aldermanic committee to
determine the cause of the coal famine in
this city, were merged today. when the
aldermanic Subcommittee went into con-
ference with the attorney general, to the
end that they work intelligently and to-
gether
The inquiry has not as yet brought out
evidence of conspiracy between dealers
or on the part Of the railroads or of both,
although some of the former have been
shown to have on hand thousands of tons
of coal.
They, however, claim that It is for con-
tracts already made and not their own.
The attorney general says that il it can be
shown the coal is really not held for con-
tracts the dealers can be prosecuted for
Withholding it from the market.
Several railroad men declared their
roads we're giving coal preference over
dead freight and produced figures to show
that it was being disposed Of as fast as
received.

GRAND JURY SAYS
THE ONLY SOLUTION
OF MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION
EVILS is FOR THE CITY TO
OWN THE SYSTEMS.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


New York, Dec. 3I.-The Kings county
grand jury made presentment today on
traction facilities in BookIyn, recommend
ing that steps be taken to annul the char
tcrs of the constituent companies of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, and that
the city acquire and operate the surface
and elevated lines The presentment de-
clares the present conditions are intolcr-
able and contains the statement that the
officials Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company had admitted they could cure
the evils, but were unwilling to do so.
The jury expresses the opinion that the
roads could be operated at profit on a
three-cent fare basis.
The prcscntment says "The only So
luton OF this vexed problem Of mctropoli-
tan transportation is municipal ownership
and operation Of the means of public travel
on street railroads, railways and tunnels

1--WE are of opinion also. from statis-
ties stmbitted to us, that experience has
demonstrated that under public control
these railway systems would not only be
operated efficiently for the public, but
that fares could be reduced to three cents,
still leaving a large net surplus revenue,

either Of those foreign powers making
faces at Uncle Sam. Allow our navy to
drop behind in the general Improvement
in vessels of war and we would find some
European power risking a fight by ac-
auiring foothold on the Southern con-
tinent.
1t is expedicnt in the interests of peace
and the preservation Of the Monroe doc
trinc that the navy estimates be passed
and that the new ships recommended be
constructed as speedily as possible These
vessels are of great Importance but what
is still more important is that proper pro-
vision be made for ofliccring them when
completed. AT present the American navy
is hopelessly short OF officers. There are
not enough to go around and the present
machinery for producing them is made
dua,e. What is needed is an immediate
increase in the corps Of cadets at An
napolis and provision for great increase
in the number Of appointments annually.
AT that the shortage Of officers cannot be
remeded for three or four years In the
meantime the officers will be oyerworked.
Inasmuch as it is certainty that even
at the present slow rate OF building ships,
this work is to become greater every year,
there is no excuse for not making provis-
ion for considerable addition to the nun-
Der OF naval cadets. 1t is matter OF
quite as much Importance 10 the nation
as any now before congress.

GEORGE CHAPMAN

London, Dec. 3r.-George Chapman,
whose preliminary trial is still going on
at police court here, was today ar
raigned on additional charges of murder
ing his fest and second wives, the autopsy
of whose exhumed remains indicated that
they had been poisoned. The prisoner

THE ROSEBUD CONTEST.

Bit by bit and against the nagging fgh,
made by the lieinze attorneys to nulify
the proceedings, the Rosebud county sena-
torial contest is bringing out the story OF
the shameful attempt to dcbauch the No
ycmber election. 1t has been shown that
republican voters were disfranchised
through the failure to provide registra-
tior districts and voting places in Sec
tions where republican voters resided that
men were imported from various parts
OF the state and from outside the borders
Of Montana TO vote at the election; that
seme Of them who objected to this sort
OF work were bought to keep their mouths
shut and their expenses to get away were
paid that all the disgraceful practices
known to vcnal, petty politicians were re-
sorted to in colonizing the sparsely set
tied county in order to carry the election
And all this chiefly to gain one vote in
the state senate of Montana.
1t shows to what depths those who arc
responsible for the outrage will descend
in trying to use the legislature of tht
state for private ends. So far only tht
tools and hirelings have figured in the pro
ceedings. 1t is to De hoped that thos
higher up, those who are directly RESPONSE
bic, those who would profit by the clec
tion being swung their way, will also b
brought to book. II is time that the
be taught lesson, time that they lear
that a county and state may not be pros
tituted to score a point in private lit
