Several times during Mr.. Pyle's fight
with typhoid he was apparently about
to be vanquished, but each time he rail-

A week ago he showed decided i'm
provement and he was again able to
take some substantial nourishment. He
regained consciousness completely and
his friends were very hopeful. We'd
nesday last he began to show signs of
decline again and Friday his heart ac-
ton was very labored and his stomach
refused nourishment. His strong con
situation became undermined and Fri
day he expired.
John l.. Pyle was born at Cole Run,
o., May 5, 1860, Of English parentage,
the father, DIR. Pyle, being a practicing
physician. Besides a common school
education, he attended the Westfieid,
Ill.,, college.
Upon leaving the parental roof at the
age Of 10, John l.. Pyle went to Mon
tana, where he worked in the mines
and at other manual labor. In 1882 he

with Alva +. Taylor, and formed a law
partnership in 1898 under the firm name
Of Pyle & Taylor. This partnership
was In effect at the time Of death. His
nomination for attorney general came
almost without opposition. Beadle
county headed the campaign for his
nomination, being closely seconded by
the old home county, Hand.

KINDLY and HosPrrABLE

When the newspaper press of Helena
gave expression to the welcomes which
the people of that community extended
to their official visitors a short while ago
they had the full warrant of those Tor
whom they spoke. The people of that
community are distinguished above all
other things for the kindly and hospita-
bic disposition which finds expression
same spirit shows itself in every Mon
tana community. On the railroad trains
and wherever the people congregate
there is displayed a spirit of compan-
ionship, and freedom of intercourse rare
ly met outside the state. This is a sur
vival of the old Western spirit of free
dom from conventional restraint which
has all but passed away. There is prac-
tically no trace of it to be found east
of the Alleghanies, and it grows rarer
as one leaves distinctly Western commu-
mites such as those of Montana.
Such expressions of hospitality as those
used by the Helena press have come to
be accepted as without any real mean
ing in most communities. They are used
every day without any thought Of being
taken seriously. 1t is not so in Montana.
The general prevalence Of outdoor en-
Payments and the superabundant pros
perity which springs from the great
mineral riches of the state have united
to render the people of Montana more
whole-souled than is the case in purely
commercial communities
With the added population and wealth
which are in store for Montana as the
result of the policy of land irrigation
the state will take as high rank in ma
teriaf wealth as she did in the most pros
porous days Of her mining industries,
and her people will continue to maintain
the high reputation which they enjoy
today as Hberal-handed, enterprising
and distinctively American race.

declaration which was waited swift

remedy for this chronic insomnia. But
now he has it again. He is up a stump
on the extra session proposition.
On the governors promise to call an
extra session this winter, the legislature
last winter heroically resigned a months
pay and went home early. The governor
really meant at that time to call the
extra session. Several times since he
has really meant to, and several times
since he has been equally sure that he
would not. Now he is not sure of doing
either the one thing or the other. ono
day delegation of legislators, thinking
regretfully of the salary which thew
passed up, called on the governor and
reminded him of his promise; the gov
ernor listened, and was satisfied that it
was his duty and his desire to call the

called upon him and pointed out that the
chances were that the legislature would
wrangle for a month and do nothing and
go home, and that a state campaign
would come on Immediately, at which one

Then some one handed the governor

then and there to call the legislature to,
gether to fix him solidly for second
term. But while he hesitated and changed
his mind and was in doubt the months
rolled by and it is now time for issuing
the call if he is going to issue one. But

rs 4 PRopER ORDER

Secretary Gage, of the treasury depart
ment, issued one of the most important
orders Of his whole public service last
week. It was to the effect that clerks
their debts. Clerks in the government
service cannot be garnisheed, and this
immunity is often abused by the un-
scrupulous. They contract debts beyond
their ability to pay in fact, with no
intention of paying them. But now, under
the new order, they must pay their just
debts, as other people do, or leave the
service Of the government.
very large proportion of the men
and women from the outside districts who
| get positions in Washington put on a
more snowy life than they can afford,
and the inevitable result is they are
soon in the hands of money lenders, nope
lessly in debt to the boarding house keep,
ers of the capital, and in short are in
| debt to all tradesmen with whom they
can establish an account. In the foolish
effort to keep up the aristocratic appear
ance they assume, they get worse off
| with each passing month.
There certainly is no valid reason why
a clerk in the employ of the govern
ment, the state, or the municipality,
should be immune from the obligation to
pay just debts contracted for the necessi,
ties of life. AS rule they are we'll paid
for the work they do, and their pay is
forthcoming with great regularity. Their
employment is well defined, and they can
tell with assurance when they will be
employed, unless of course they are dis
charged for some unforeseeable reason.
Employees of the government are IN
der the additional obligation to pay their
just debts because of the bad example
they otherwise afford to those in other
lines of employment-an example too
often cited by others in defense of or ex-
cuse for their own neglect to meet proper
obligations.
Secretary Cages order to the treasury
clerks to keep good reputation for
meeting such obligations promptly is
along the lines of sound business policy,
and is to be commended.

TREASON TO CITY AND. STATE.

! One of the most pitifulIy sense
less features of the dishonest raid just
made by certain newspapers on the rail.
road interests of this section is the effort
which was put forward to prove that the
grossest extortion has always marked the
carrying charges made by the Great
Northern railroad.
1t was thought necessary by newspapers,
both in st. Paul and Minneapolis. to
publish their remarkable figures in this
behalf. AS in the case of the public prose-
eutor who knows the weakness of his
cause, extraordinary attention was be-
slowed by those papers on proving q
motive. There was no motive for their
brutal outbreak but that of doing the
Bidding of those who prompted them.

however; and hence their foolish mathe-
NAUTICAL displays of ignorance and malice.
This sort of thing has been brought to
a close. 1t answered its purpose while
it was continued. But what a lesson it
conveys of reckless abandonment Of
the interests of the communities which
sustain those papers. Every considera-
ton of local pride and public spirit die
tated that those papers should have re-
scented the attacks made. The railroads
affected contribute more every dav to
the prosperity and greatness Of St. Paul
and Minneapolis than any two other in
dustrial enterprises, and as much as
scores of commercial undertakings which
are regarded as indispensable to the pre-
vailing prosperity. They have done as
much to build up the great common
wealth and communities stretching from
here to the ocean which are tributary
to these cities as ALI other agencies COM
bined
Yet, according to the new Twin City
newspaper creed, the men who built up
those transcontinentaI railroad lines and
have administered them since have had
as their chief aim to rob and impoverish
the people whom they serve. This is the
latest exemplifcation of devotion to the
welfare of these cities and of this state.
This is the new title deed which our
local press have to show of their devotion
20 the welfare Of these communities. This
is the pride they exhibit in the grand
achievements which in single generation
have redeemed this Northwestern land
from the condition of a savage wider
ness.

which has distinguished the rivalry OF

Hawthorne and Lavender" Poems by
Harper & Bros
William Mr.. Henley's recent advertis
ing attack on Stevenson is followed now
by new volume of verse, which. while
adding nothing to his established reputa-
ton is, on the whole, not unworthy of
his genius.
The book is dedicated to Mr. Henlev's
wife in these words:
Ask me not how they came
These songs of love and death
THESE dreams of futile stage.
IheSe thumbnailS seen in the street,
ASK me not how nor why
But take them for your own.
Dear wife of twenty years
knoWlng-O, who so welI?-
GU 1t was made the man
lnat made these songs Of love
Death, and the trivial rest;
90 that, your love elsewhere
Lhese songs, or bad or good
HOW should they ever have been?
Mr.. Henley's gifts lie in the direction
OF lyrics, and he has dainty touch for
a man OF his caliber, as for instance IN
this song:
sing to me, sing, and sing again,
:. MY glad, great-throated nightingale:
sing, as the good sun through the rain
Sing, as the home-Wind in the sail
Sing. to me of life, and toll, and time
:. o bugle of dawn o flute Of rest!
Slrg, and once more as in the prime
There shall be naught but seems tba
best. ''io
And sing me at the. last Of love:
Sing that old magic of the Nav
That makes the great world laugh and
move
AS lightly as our dream today!"

the Minneapolis press can readily under
stand how the newspapers of that city
might be expected to engage in such raid.
The great railroad enterprises OF st. Paul
NOTABLY the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern-have often aroused Min
neapolis' jealousy. Local considerations
have caused a sentiment to spring up in
that community of loyalty to the foreign
railroad corporation whose branch dhe
$500. line) has its principal offices in
that city. That sentiment has been used
to the limit in Minneapolis against both
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
interests, and it is not hard to under
stand it. But that any resident of St.
Paul who values the prosperity and good
name of that community at more than
the toss of a bad copper should extend
any sympathy to the raid which is in
progress cannot be explained on any in
telligent basis
One day when interested newspapers
find more profitable pursuit for their pro-
prietors than the Matchmaking of Amer
lean Northwestern railroad interests ev-
erybody in St Paul will see the criminal
nature of the prevailing raid.
