ACT AT ONCE,

In our last issue we made ieief
mention of the post check currsncy
scheme and the menace ii offered to
country merchants throughout the
United States and especially in the
vest. II seems a bureau has recently
been established in Washington to
push this matter. The plan is to get
congress to enact u scheme for send
ing small sums of money through the
mails cheaply and easily. One Of the
methods suggested is flooding the
country papers with puffs of the
scheme. which the editors are asked
to print gratis. In this they have met
with some success but not very gen.
eraL. The country papers that have
the interests of the local merchants
and their own at heart win not be
deceived by the smooth methods of
this scheme. A recent issue of the
Chicago Dry Goods Reporter contains
a timely warning OF the danger thar
turks in this proposition to country
merchants. Says the Reporter: II,
ought not to take two thoughts to
convince any man that the postal
check scheme is a device for the
benefit Of the millionaire retail order
houses in the big cities, and for the
corresponding injury of the country
merchant. There is no money or pay
in it for anyone says the lobbyists
but expensive crusades with special
offices in Washington are not carried
on for the fun of the thing. The fact
Ia. that the new currency scrip. which
II is proposed to saddle upon the lone
suffering postal system, will play di

Mr.. Bryan. who has been asked to
cast his eye around in quest OF good
presidential timber. has found four
men in Tennessee whom he thinks
would fit like a nickel in the slot.
They are senators Bate and Carmack
and Governor Benton Mcmillan and
J. VI. Had. mayor of Nashville. As
to Bate and Carmack they are little
known to the people of the United
States. but perhaps Mr.. Bryan has
discovered that too much notoriety Is
not beneficial. Both have antagoniz-
ed a large element in their own state
by their position on the Philippine
question. Benton Mcmillan is an able
man and better known from the fact
that he served a long term in con.
gress, but he would not be acceptable
to the eastern wing of the party. As
to Hald no one would have to hold
him to keep him from running. He
was never heard Of before. AS a

state. When II comes to choosing a

There is only one Andrew Carnegie
to give millions for educational pur-
poses. but we can all contribute some
thing and take pride in so doing.
There were many in the audience
last Friday evening who never had
the opportunities enjoyed by those
composing the graduating class. The
death Of a father, or poverty, made il
incumbent upon them to leave school
and seek employment at any honest
toll. trusting to the bitter school of
experience for their education. But
such will deny to others the
privileges that fate decreed against
them.
Who in that audience was not filed
with pride when the class valedictor-
ian had finished? It was not his par
ents alone or other relatives. Every
man and woman and every scholar
and classmate was proud of David
Trepp. He has a bright, intellectual
face which indicates the student that
he is. The composure, self-reliance,
substance matter and fine diction dis
played in his essay as well as his re-
marks to the board. teachers and
class, won deserved applause and fore
told great possibilities for the young
manor boy, as he really is.

when scholars who leave its portals

States. But thanks to the taxpayers
OF Fergus county. the enterprising
board of trustees and the able in
struetors, we have a high school that
will compare favorably with any other
in the state, and furthermore, we
have the boys and girls out of which

the commonwealth of Montana will

Ii is said that even before Mont
Pelee began to rumble. late in April,
live stock became uneasy and at
times were almost uncomfortable. Cat
tie lowed in the night. Dogs howled
and sought the company of their mas
tiers. and when driven forth they gave
every evidence of fear. Wild animals
disappeared from the mountain side
and snakes, which at ordinary times
are found in great numbers near the
volcano. crawled away. Birds ceased
singing and left the trees that shaded
the sides of Pelee. This proves that
instinct is often a better guide than
reason and when 1t comes to a volcanic
eruption or an earthquake IT is better
to seek a place Of safety at the first
