A GREAT

DIR. Lorenz, the famous Austrian
surgeon is a true benefactor of his
race. For a fee variously estimated
at from $4,000 to 800. 0JJ, he was
called to Chicago to operate upon a
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden Armour
which was suffering from ~congenital
malforEatiun of the nip. While the
doctor exacts a large fee from those
abundantly able to pay the price he
charges nothing for treating the chill
drcn of those without means. In pri.
vate homes and hospitals in Chicago,
Denver and other places he offered
his services free and made more than
one mothers heart glad by his skill
and generosity. His name is on every
tongue and poets sing his praises. S
L Kizer. a writer on the Chicago Rec,

tude as Lorenz has gained to the gin

He wears no gorgeous uniform
To captIvate the eve;
He rides before no gliiiering host,
With head held proud and high;
No bugles loudly blare,
No hats wave in the air
As Lorenz passes by;
He does not wear a warriors crest,
No gold braid CLEANS upon his breast,
For him no banners ily.
Take up the crippled little ones
And bring them unto me-
His words send Joy to many a heart
And love shall be my feel!
The poor, bent limbs he takes
With tender hands and makes
Them straight and fair TO see!
For him no bugles proudly blow,
But 1t were we'll II men might know
More heroes such as he.

an approximately equal division mum.

have both announced that they are
done with Bryan. Massachusetts,, Del

small states have forsaken him. as
has Georgia, the Empire state of the

him. In fact. there has been a heavy

The Great Falls Tribune of the Bird
inst. contains a somewhat sarcastic
article on Lewistown's ambition to
become a wool market. While the
sarcasm is chiefly aimeu at the man
agemont of the Montana road. which
it claims would be perfectly satisfied
TO let the business men of Lewistown
build a warehouse at their own ex-
pruse. 1t is clear that the Tribune sees
how such an enterprise would affect
Great Falls. We believe that when
the time comes for building a wool
warehouse the Montana people will
meet the citizens half way on the ex-
pense. With all OF Jim Hills capital
and the amount of wool handled IN
Great Falls the woolgrowers were a
long time in securing proper ware
house facilities at that point, as many
a testify. There should be no quo
bling over the matter of expense when
the time is ripe for this enterprise.

ana policies are lost sight of by the
Injection of personal and corporate in.
~terests OF a few counties. In the effort
10 control courts and legislatures to
their ends the whole state is in a To-
ment OF bitter strife, the like of which
was never witnessed before in any
other state in the Union. II is often
questioned whether the great copper
mines OF the state are not a curse
rather than a blessing, when one con-
siders the odium placed upon tne peo-
pie by those interested in them. 1t
Is to be hoped that within a few years
there will be a change for the better,
when the millionaires of Butte will
not corrupt and dominate the politics
OF the whole state.
In some respects the campaign in
Fergus county has been a little clean
er than in other years, still there is
a great chance for improvement, There
was some i'll feeling aroused toward
the close of the campaign that should
have been avoided.
The qualifications OF a candidate for
an office are legitimate matters for
discussion for fitness and competency
greatly concern taxpayers. But in the
heat of a campaign there is a tenden-
cy to distort the facts and attach
blame where It does not belong.
The method of campaigning in this
state is also reprehensible. Candidates
for office are expected to spend near
ly as much as their salary would
amount to for a year in order to Sc
cure an office. They must visit every
point in this large county and spend
money freely or they are not good
fellows and will lose votes. Men who
have no influence eleven and one-half
months in the year find that they can
control a number of votes Just before
election and must be well recompensed
for their work. Some gauge their po-
litical convictions by what there is in
il, and may be changed by a drink.
A mar with such weak political con-
victions is a mighty poor citizen. or
course, when men by reason of their
position, character and intelligence,
can do efficient party work, it is legit-
innate to pay them for their services,
especially when such service is rem
dered at the neglect of their own bus.
mess. But such are few compared to
those who think they are a power.
They are out for the cash and look
upon each general election as a har.
vest time for working" the candi.
dates.
The whole business is vicious and
pernicious. 1t would be a good thing
if the candidates of all parties would
| stay at home, engage in their accus'
toned duties and let the electors
choose them for their fitness and char
acter instead of out of consideration
for the amount of money extorted and
whisky and cigars placed in circula'
tion.
But the candidates are not at fault.
| They, doubtless. would be glad to re-
main in their offices or at home. The
voters seem to demand that kind OF a
campaign and they must meet 1t.
In some of the older states of the
Union such a campaign would defeat
any candidate for office, and 1t is
about time it is frowned upon in Mon.
tana.
For a state rich in all material re
| sources Montana has a good deal to
learn yet in civic decency.
It Is about time its politics were
reformed.

If Frank f. Smith is defeated for
the legislature 1t will not be owing
to the superior running qualities of
his nearest opponent, David Hilger,
but owing to the blunder of voters in
making their ballots. Coming as the
names do in alphabetical order on the
ticket, the voter placed his cross op-
posite the name of w. Z. King on
the Republican ticket, but failed to
do so opposite that of Mr.. Smith,
doubtless thinking that the n mark
ing answered for both of the legisla-
tive candidates. Mr.. Hilger's name
coming first on the Democratic ticket
he received the proper mark while
Grant Robinson was also loser by the
ignorance or oversight of the voter.
In West Lewistown precinct Mr..
Smith lost 32 votes and probably as
many more in east Lewistown. II
the same error was made in other
precincts he lost probably from rs to
100 votes in the county Or enough to
have placed him ahead OF others on
the legislative ticket as well as insur-
ing his election.

pire which was subdued few years

pire which was subdued few years
ago by Great Britain. Its population
numbers 100000. They belong to tho
Mongol branch of the human family.
Their language is closely related to
the Tibetan and Chinese, and the pre-
dominant religious faith is Buddhism.
The Burmese are divided into seven
castles. Closely related to them are
the natives of the Kharates, which
are now about evenly divided between
Great Britain, France and China. The
natives of these dependencies are
sturdy, nomadic and more highly civ
ilized than other Mongol tribes. They
are taking kindly to labor-saying de-
vices of every description, and may
prove good customers for American
manufactures.
Another enterprising and prosperous
Mongol tribe are the Kalmucks. They
inhabit the interior of western China
and the adjacent district. The nomadic
families of the Kalmucks constitute
the larger part of the population. They
are nominally under Chinese suzerain-
ty, but are already scattered over vast
regions belong to Russia. The prin-
cipal wealth of the various clans con.
sists of horses, camels, cattle and
sheep. The men are excellent horse
men; the women are always mounted
on camels when journeying from one
pasture ground to another, or attend-
ing the national festivities in distant
towns.
In the Himalaya district of north
ern India are found many tribes OF
Tibetan origin. One of the most re-
markable is the pastoral clan of the
Toda which has for centuries dwelled
in the Nilgherries and maintained its
individuality in the face of much OPP
position. Their dwellings, are con-
structed of bamboo and covered with
straw, the entrance being so low that
the interior can be reached only by
crawling into it. The Todas are char
acteriled by rare racial purity. They
are divided into five separate castles,
whose members never intermarry.
Among the three lower castles each
village has its own priest. who is not
allowed 10 offer sacrifices, however;
his sole responsibility being the care
and milking of buffalo COWS. the most
respected Of all Toda callings. The

village priest must be member of ono
of the two upper castles, and has to pre-
pare himself for his high Office by pass
ing through a variety of absurd cere-
monies. The priesthood is REINFORCED
by hermits who lead an avcetic life
in their own premises and are held
in high vereration by the populace.

as a nation, must necessarily come
into contact now that we have as
sumed place as world power. In
years gone by we looked upon the
strange peoples of Asia and Polynesia
as curiosities, to be encountered oc-
casionally in a circus or dime muse

meet them as customers for our -four,

chimes, boots and shoes, carriages and
automobiles. For this reason. it would
appear advisable that the study OF
ethrography, hitherto an almost un-
known science in our high schools and
colleges, be taken up by intelligent
teachers-so that they can familiarize
their pupils with the habits of the
peoples with whom they may have to
deal at some future period.
