there are drawbacks to the plan
which should not be overlooked.
Under the present system of appor-
tionment the more populous districts
have an advantage in that it costs
much less per capita to run the
schools in such districts than it does
in less populous ones; for instance,
it costs about as much ito teach a
school of twelve pupils in the coun-
try as it does room of fifty pupils
in the city, yet the district with but
twelve pupils draws. less than one
fourth as much as the fifty pupils in
the city The result is that many of
the country districts can have but
one or two months school, while the
city pupils get nine or ten
months. Mr.. Welch's plan will put
the country pupils at further disad-
vantage. for. owing to bad roads, in
clement weather and the greater dis
lance to go, the percentage of attend
ance in the country is bound to be
smaller than in the town or city, and
il the apportionment is based on at
tendance the country districts will
get a still smaller proportion of
school monies.
The saving of the cost of the school
census each year of over $4,000,
however, ought to be made if posi-
BILE, and this might be done without
doing injustice to the country dis
tricts by giving to each district an
equal amount, say 800, and dividing
the balance upon the basis of school
attendance. This would insure three
months school to each district and
would not injure the city schools, for
many of the foremost educators say
that eight months school in a year is
better than fen. Such bill was in
troduced in the sixth legislative as
sembly of Montana. but it failed of
passage. as the author of the bill was
displaced in the senat by Mr..
Geiger, and bill is not apt to be-
cCme law unless there is some in
terested member to push it through

Kipling's Latest Poem.


Following is Kipling's latest poem,
The Rowers," printed in the London
Times. 1t attacks the alliance with
Germany in the Venezuelan conflict,
and has caused sensation in the
two countries:
The banked oars fell, an hundred
strong,
And backed and thrashed the
ground;
But bitter was the rowers' song
AS they brought the war boat
round.
They had no heart for the rally and
That makes the whaleback smoke
When the great blades cleave and
hold and leave
AS one on the racing stroke.
They sang. What Reckoning do yc
keep,
And steer her by what star,
If we come unscathei from the south
ern deep
To be wrecked on the Baltic bar?
Last night We swore our voyage was
done,
But seaward still We go;
And We tell us of secret vow
Ye have made with an open foe.
That we must lie off a lightless
coast
And haul and back and veer,
And the will of the breed that have
wronged us most
For year and year and year.
There was never shame in Chris
tendie
They laid not to our door,
And We say we must take winter
And be safe with them once more.
Look south, the gale is scarce DER
past
HAT SJTlppcu anu ldlu us uOWu
When we stood forth, but they stood
fast,
And prayed to see us drown.
"The dead they Knocked are scarcely
cold
Our wounds are bloody yet;
And we tell us now our strength is
sold
To help them press for debt.
Meath all the flags of all mankind
That use upon the seas,
Was there no other fleet to find
That We strike hands with these?
"Of evil times that men could choose
On evil fate to fall,
What brooding judgment let We loose
To pick the worst of all?
'In sight of peace from the narrow
seas
Der half the world to run,
With a cheated crew to league anew
With the Goth and the shameless
Hum"

THE MAYORS LETTER.

The Bee has ever pursued an ag-
gressive policy against that corpora
ton known as the Great Northern
Railway company, and its influence
has always been eXerted in a not al
together fruitless attempt to wiring
from that corporation it's fair pro-
portion of taxes. Last year the state
board yielded to the persistency of
the editorial columns of many of
MOntanas foremost newspapers and
doubled the previous assessment of
the railroads in Montana which was
a small advance in the right direc-
ton, but even at that The railroads
their actual values.
Locally, Kalspell is much inter-
ested in securing direct communica-
ton with the populous cities of the
state, and the timid citizens who rec
ognize the Godlike omnipotence of
James j. Hill with fear and trem-
bling hush any expression of opinion
as to the eXtortiOnate methods of
the corporation of which he is the
chief, lest Kalispell draw down upon
its devoted head the wrath of the
Octopus. There are oft expressed
fears of side tracking" Kalispell.
that the Jocko cutoff will never be
built if the people resist the oppres-
sion of the railroads in Montana,
and that the future of this portion of
the state at least will be leopard. zed.
The fact that this county is dom
mated by single railway company
is the very best reason why our mer-
chants and farmers should have the
benefits of such regulations as a
railroad commission could prescribe
in the matter of rates" says Mayor
Logan.
This statement is incontrovertible.
as are many others presented in that
able article. The fair rate" sys-
TEN means all the shippers may
stand and the unfair rate is all the
shippers can stand" The articles
which the Bee. for instance, is com
PEELED to ship into the country, print
paper being the largest. comes under
the unfair rate, and the tariff de-
manded by the Great Northern is
S1,91 per hundred for this article,
bought at the mills in Wisconsin for
$3.50, Print paper is shipped from
Chicago to San Francisco at less
than 81 per hundred, but the several
roads are not merged as is the
case in this northern latitude.
Without railroad commission to
adjust rates, what assurance has
the Flathead shipper that fair rate
will not prevail even after the Jocko
cutoff has been built, and that the
railroad tariff frcm Kalspell to Butte
via Jocko will be less than it is via
Harre? All previous experiences
point to the negative.
A railroad commission is the onl!
possible salvation for merchants OF
Montana. but it is deplorable fact
that the republican majority in the
Legislature may not be depended
upon in this emergency: they owe
too much to the giant corporations
and the ring master who is credited
with having things his own way al
the state capitol has probably never
paid railroad fare since he left In
diana, and he always rides in the
vanished cars, franks" his express
and kilograms and even gives the
dining car conductor the finger.

MENT BEING DEVELOPED
IN TIE WEST.
Western Democrats Have Passed Up
w. J. Bryan, and Go Back to
Conservative Ideas.

Washington. Aug. 31.-Representa
tive-elect e. J. Livernash, one of the
three Democrats gained in California
at the last election, is in Washington
on a labor arbitration question. He
talked interestingly to the correspon-
dent on the political situation. He re-
CARDS the outlook for Democratic sue
cess on the Pacific coast as very good,
the party being united and in excel
lent spirits.
Are the coast Democrats inclined to
hang on to silver?' he was asked
"Not at ALL was the reply. "Silver
is dead, very dead, out our way. There
seems to be general disposition
among Democrats to return to the old
conservative ideas, which won victories
for the party soon after the civil war
when there was a revolution against
Republican corruption and eXtrava-
gance.'
What about Bryan?'
"Well, we're not bothering about
Bryan"
"What about the talk of the great
popularity of President Roosevelt in
the far west?"
cit is far from what it has been rep
resented" was the answer. "Roose-
welt has lost ground on the coast
There is a widespread feeling among
conservative business men, in which
Republicans share to large extent,
that the financial establishment of the
country is unstable and there is con
sequently a sense Of apprehension for
the future There are among the Re
publicans distinctly to be seen q
Roosevelt and anti-Roosevelt faction
"Mr. Roosevelt was stronger in the
west, in my opinion, before he MADE
his great trip last spring. People ex-
pected something like statesmanlike
deliverance, but he came, and thoug1
he made numerous speeches, there was
not a satisfying utterance in all MS

expectant of a great political leader
are not going to be content with mere
