SATURDAY, SEPT. 10, 1903.
FORTY-THREE YEARS OLD.

With this issue the Republican enters
on its forty-fourth year, having passed
throng forty. three years of varied ex-
perlences. The history OF the paper
has been the same as with most papers
of its class, the ups and downs OF
varied arrangements, leaving their in
fuence in one direction or another.
Occupying the position of the Oldest
English newspaper in the city today,
and standing alone as the exponent of
the Republican party in this COM
munity, the paper is rapidly taking its
position among the leading newspapers
of the county, both in the matter Of
circulation and popularity. The man
agement now in charge have branched
out in different lines, among them be
ing the institution of a semi-weekly
publication. That the effort to make
a first-class newspaper is appreciated,
is gradually being evidenced more and
more by an increasing business in all
directions.
However, we are not satisfied; as
our motto is, to always improve both
in the amount of business and the
quality of our publication. Our aim
is, not to have the support of any class
of people because they wish to ''help
US out" as some people say, but to
issue such a periodical and conduct
such business, that our services will
be deemed necessary from the stand
point of merit alone and rot on the
ground Of charity. That such is be-
coming the condition in regard to the
Republican is evident, and it is also evil
dent that many of our contemporaries
in this and surrounding counties ap-
preciate that our ideas carried out, are
practical; from the fact that many new
lines of work appearing in this paper
for some months past, are now appear
ing in somewhat similar form in
many of our neighboring papers. Our
aim in the future will continue to be,
as it has been in the past, TO lead the
van in the matter of up-to-date ideas
snong the county newspapers of the
locality. We cite these points to show
what few months of persistent effort
have accomplished and to show our
gratitude for what appreciation has
been shown.

Another Crisis in German Socialism

The dispatches from Dresden giving
an account of the conference of
the German Socialists to determine
their policy in the reichstag will be
closely followed by those at all inter-
ested in. German politics. To certain
extent the constitutional development
of Germany is involved in the preser-
walton OF harmony in the Socialist dele
cation in the reichstag. For while in
Bebel and Singer the old radical, re-
evolutionary theories of Marx, Lasalle,
Engels and Liebknecht are represented
the bulk of the party, led by Bernstein
and Won Vallmar, himself a former
Junker, stands for all that is left of
effective democracy. While sentiment
and perhaps expediency has kept the
present day Socialists from formally
repudiating the orthodox creed, as a
practical fact German. Socialism does
not look forward to a cataclysm in
which the lower classes shall rise in
bloody revolt against the upper
classes and reorganize society on the
lines of state control. With the decay
OF. the old Liberal party, which form
erly voiced the progressiyeness Of. the
intelligent middle classes, the Socialist
party has been the refuge of those out
OF sympathy with the government, and
with the absorption of this new and
naturally moderate element there has
been a gradual elimination of revolu-
tionary aims. German Socialism TO-
day as political party is merely a
protest against ssthe absolutism of the
present kaiser, against his suppression
OF free speech and free press, against
his extreme militarism, against the
dominance of the bureaucracy and the
landed aristocracy. 1t is in fact re-
publicanisrn. It's representatives in
the reichstag have wisely refrained

For the Young FoIks-Norris e Rowe's
Big Shows Coming to Billings
August 18th.

The appearance in this city of Nor
ris & Rowe's big shows is looked for
ward to by the amusement lovers
with much interest. Each season that
the show has visited us marked i'm
provements and engagements have
been noticed. This season will be no
exception to the rule. The growth and
improvement of these big moral shows
has been nothing short of phenomenal,
and the success of the enterprise can
be traced to the fact that the show
is clean, moral, wholesome, instruc-
tive and very amusing. 1t is, in fact
an entertainment that the most fas-
tidious can witness without having
any of his %scruples hurt. 1t is an en-
tertainment that every boy and girl
should see, because their budding
minds absorb the lessons of what kind
ness and patience will accomplish,
even over dumb brutes. This season
the performance will not be confined
to trained animals alone, but will in
clude some of the best circus gym
nasts in the country, and a troupe of
skillful Japanese equilibrists and jug
glers, and a company of expert cycle
whirl riders.
