WHO'S AFRAID?

The temerity of the Kalispel base
ball team known as the Comets is
appalling. There is not youth in
the aggregation over eighteen years
of age, and the combined weight of
the team would probably no more
than balance the scale with Lewis.
Friend and O'Neil on the other side
But in spite of all this, the plucky
young Americans in the kids nine
will probably give a good account of
themselves in the game they desire
to play with the renowned Grays, new
suits and all. The Comets have
shown their ability to outfield their
mature antagonists in more than one
well played game, but their size and
strength is against them in the stick
work. However, if the Grays pocket
their dignity and give the youngsters
a chance to show their mettle, the
hippodrome feature of last Sunday s
game will be cut out, you may be
assured, and the boys will also hold
their own when it comes to jockey.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
TUESDAY, JULY IS, 1902.
EUGENE Y. DEBS.

Smarting under his sense of per-
sonal injury, after his incarceration
for six months by an Illinois judge,
in the dark days of '93, Eugene V.
Debs repealed by his bitterness many
who have since espoused the cause OF
socialism under his later, more tenn
perate advocacy. The calm, serene
speaker of yesterday was not much
like the fiery, impassioned dema-
gogue whose barbed language was
hurled from box cars and improvised
rostrums eight short years ago. To
day his bearing is that of a tried and
true man, his honesty of purpose
apparent. Truly the power of elo-
uuence is exemplifed in Eugene v.
Debs, and as he speaks to the people
conviction takes hold and the old
order of things does seem social an
archy without question. In such a
man the world finds cause to be
thankful that his great gifts are en-
listed in the cause of humanity and
that his voice is not raised in the
advocacy of destruction by fire and
sword

THE PROFITS OF FARMING.

The opinion is often expressed that
farming is about the most unprofta-
BILE pursuit of the modern man. The
growth of that idea is responsible for
much foolish discomfort and the I'M
wise decisions of many thousands of
young men who abandon the home
farm to seek. clerkships, trades and
other forms of salaried employment
in towns and cities.
Yet tilling the soil is the first di-
vine office given to man. The farmer
must of necessity feed all civilized
mankind And the fact is that in this
country of ours in spite of droughts,
floods, blights and insect pests, we
annually raise food crops enough to
give every human being in the land
three square meals a day by fair
earning and then have thousands of
millions of bushels or grains to ship
abroad and feed millions beyond the
seas.
1t is idle to say that farming does
not pay. All men are not liars and
fools, and the farmers of America
least of all. They continue to farm
and pay for their land out of their
products, and to buy more land, and
to buy stock, and make more comfort
able homes and-to educate their
children above their inheritance in
schools that help to enforce the silly
fiction that farming is the poorest Of

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

An Ohio reader of the Commoner
says that the debating society of
which he is a member came very
near disruption because of ques-
ton proposed for discussion This
question was as follows: Resolved,
That no moral difference exists be-
tween the acts of highwayman who
holds up his victims at the muzzle of
gun and despolls his fellow man,
and the man or combination of men
who, armed with political power,
shape legislation that protects and
legaliZes the acts of combinations
that rob the people" This reader,
referring to this proposition, makes
this comment: Those who defend
not impoverish it's victims at one
stroke like the outlaw method and
should not be compared with the lat
ter. Again, they claim that those
who get in their work legally are
rated among our best people, who
give literally toward the endowment
of religious and educational institu-
lions and who occupy the finest up
holstered pews along the front row.
They move IN the top crust of so
ciety and are men of great influence
and piety, while the illegal highway
man is busily engaged in lodging the
officers of the law. The affirmative
set up the claim that only the want
of courage is the motive that leads
many to resort to legislation as the
safer method to commit depreda,
tions; and that the lack of diplomacy
and political influence moves the
courageous to resort to the
same moral methods to despoil their
fellowman by means of fire arms in.
stead of legislation. The affirmative
claims that less than 10 per cent of
the money filched from the people is
given away by the legal fraternity
and while they are robbing Peter to
pay Paul, the latter gets very thin

Congressman Griggs, chairman of
the democratic congressional COM
mittee, thinks that the republican
congress has done many things the
people of the country don't want and
failed to do many things the people
want. In Mr.. Griggs' opinion, this
congress will be repudiated at the
polls in the November elections. Mr..
Griggs claims that the congress has
not only repudiated the plain plat
form promises relating to tariff re-
vision and Cuban reciprocity, but it
has appropriated more of the peo-
pies money than ever before was APP
propriated in a single session of con,
gress. He points to the failure of the
republican congress to give the peo-
pie relief in the matter of trusts as
good grounds for believing that the
people will not indorse the work of
this session at the polls next Novem-

VULGAR PROFANITY.

The police of Great Falls are con-
Quoting a campaign against profani-
ty on the streets, and are receiving
the support of the press in their cru
SADIE against this outrage on decency
which is all too common in the pub
llcity of all our western cities, Kali
ispell being no exception. Every
respectable man will endorse the
sentiments of the Tribune comment
ing on the disgraceful habit as fol-
lows:
At best profanity is a useless, vul-
gar and debasing habit. But par
ticularly is it reprehensible and dis
gushing in public, where it meets the
ears of women and children.
Men in the west are altogether too
much given to the habit, and many
of them commit the offense without
intention to harm, and without real
izing the extent to which they do
swear. But that does not excuse,
though perhaps it may palliate.
But profanity where it will not
offend is not to be compared with
the vulgar oath shouted in the street
or spoken in the presence of those
whom all men know will be humil-
lated and insulted by the words. 1t
is lowering and ungentlemanly in any
case, but it is cowardly and indecent
in the latter.
The police should keep up the
good work until the man who is vile
enough to shout his profanity on the
streets shall be afraid to do so.

HOW SMOKE EXPLODES.
Demonstrated for the Benefit of Insur-
ance Men.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
How smoke explodes in a burning build
ing was graphically shown the Fire In
surance Society last night in its rooms by
Underwriters Inspector William McDevitt
Mr.. McDevitt set a two-story building
about three feet high on the table. Then
he partly filled it with smoke from pieces
of burnt wood. Thrusting in a gas jet, a
smart explosion followed, and a tongue of
flame and smoke ten feet long shot out of
the windows. The inspector also endeav-
ored to make, on a small scale, what fire.
men call a back draught, which is really a
downward explosion of smoke through ele-
vator shafts or statrways where there are
iron shutters. but the roof of his little house
was blown off, and the smoke went up in
stead Of downward.
The inspector used only plain wood to
produce the smoke for his explosion. Var
nished or oiled wood would. he said. have
been more effective, as producing more and
thicker smoke. Before giving his practical
illustrations Of the explosive force Of hot
smoke he briefly explained the causes of
such explosions. In a fire, he said, free
carbon rises and mixes with the hydrogen;
methyl, alcohol, creosote and other gases
are also present in smoke. OF itself smoke
would explode, he said, at a temperature
Of 600 to 800 degrees, but frequently it is
ignited by sparks or by coming in contact
with a flame.
when the smoke has become ignited, :"
the inspector went on. 1.-The interior Of the
building is instantly converted into a mass
OF flame. The Hunt-Wnkinson fire strik-
ingly exemplifed that When I first saw
the fire great volumes Of dense black smoke
poured out OF the windows. Suddenly there
was an explosion, and the smoke was
transformed into such flame as never

the total number of the Russian sectarians

campaign against the sectarians in those
provinces where their numbers are latterly
more largely increasing. The powers OF
the specially appointed missionaries will be
supplemented by those of the police. Apos-

RELIGION IN RUSSIA.
The Multifarious Sects That Exist in
the Land of the Gear.


CORES. London Standard.
The holy synod has always held as a
closely guarded secret the exact data 1t
possesses with regard to the scots in Rus
STA. This notwithstanding the lately
taken census gives some approximately
correct figures concerning the non-con-
formists and sectarians, properly SO
called. although it may be observed the
latter are practiced adopts in misleading
the census enumerators in respect of their
creeds. The largest body Of non-conform-
lists is the Staro-obriadzi or the Old Be-
levers, who are divided into two chief
groups, the Popoftzi and the Bezpopoftzi-
that is to say, those whose spiritual af-
fairs are directed by irregularly ordained
clergy popes and those who respect the
ministrations of clergymen.) The Popoftzi
are again subdivided into two sections and
the Bezpopoftzi into five subdivisions.

tremely fanatical sect, which, some few
years ago, 1t may be remembered, created
shocking sensation by burying alive if

sa. If one dinerentiate more exactly be-
tween the various divisions and offshoots
of the two chief groups above mentioned,
there are really some fifty distinct secta-
rian divisions. all having their own particu-
lar creeds. customs. superstitions and codes
Of morals. and differing in dogma from
the original chief sects. They may be d.
vtded generally into two categories-
