WHAT WILL BRYAN DO?

From Mr.. Bryan's recent pilgrim
ages throughout the east it is very
evident that he scents the battle afar
and is not going to be left out in the
reckoning. Realizing, as he must,
that his sun is set as a presidential
possibility he is going to bend his en-
orgies to prevent those who were dis
loyal to him from getting control Of
the party machine. He has a Hercu-
lean task before him. Although he
draws large crowds Of the curious
wherever he speaks, IL is non the
less true that the masses have lost
interest in him and all that he ever
stood for as a candidate for the pres
idency. All of his predictions and
prophecies have proven false by the
lapse of time and his worm-eaten X,
c. platform, which was once regarded
as little else than inspiration, would
not bring a bid at a rummage sale.
However this may be there is evi
dence that Mr.. Bryan is going to stil
the animals up and give the people Q
show worth their money. He is sore
very sore. against that sensible wins
of the Democracy which would mo-
subscribe to his vagaries and which
refused to be led into the Populistic
camp.
But Mr.. Bryan will come to a realiz

that the Montana delegation will work

Evidently il is a hard matter to
classify Mr.. Heinze politically. The
Butte Miner and the Helena Independ.
ent disclaim him as a Democrat and
are anxious to dispose of him to the
Republicans. In a recent editorial on
this much mooted question the latter
paper has the following to say among
other things: Since the last election
Mr.. Heinze has proved his Republi.
canism to the satisfaction of the Re.
publican members of the legislature,
who did his bidding in the Harvey
case. IL is a fact that he had a few
former Democrats in the Legislature
who followed him into the Republican
party, but they were so Insignificant
in numbers that they did not cut any
particular figure. Democracy after a
very few weeks experience, got rid of
the gentleman at Bozeman, and .imme.
diately thereafter the Republicans
picked him up and worked in political
harmony with him."
There is a hard thrust in the above
at those Democrats who followed
him into the Republican party" and
were so insignificant in number that
they did not cut any particular figure
Either the Independent is wrong or
| else the Democratic representative
from this county in tn. recent legisla-
ture is wrongly classified, In his last
issue our Democratic contemporary
was exchanging bouquets with The
Press, an obscure sheet published at
Helena, over the virtue Of their brand
of Democracy, both declaring it to be
of the pure Jeffersonian article. Now,
this may be true, but there is diff.
Guilty in harmonizing the statements
made by the Independent and the at.
titude of our contemporary and Rep

Congressman j. NJ. Dixon has re-
turned 10 his home in Missoula after
an absence of five weeks spent in
Washington and other eastern points.
Mr.. Dixon is interested in the matter
Of free rural delivery for Montana and
while in Washington received consid-
cradle encouragement in this direc-
ton. He states that in a conference
with the postmaster general assuran-
ces were given him that should the
matter of Montana routes be put in
form and presented the department,
favorable consideration could be ex-
pected. He would like to secure at
least one route for every county in
the state. However. the regulations
Of the department call for at least 100
families who can be served on a
route of % miles. and it would seem
that there are very few counties in
Montana in which the rural population
Is sufficiently dense to meet this re
quirement. No doubt rural delivery
will come some day and in the mean
time the government can do a gooC
deal to help the people by improving

WILL HELP EAST SIDE.

The decision of the Montana Rail-
road Company in permanently locat.
ing its depot and terminal on the
east side of Lewistown is going to en-
nance the value of the real estate in
that part of the city very materially,
especially as regards locations for
business purposes. For some years
the east side has been dwarfed in its
growth by more deirable sites for bus.
mess purposes on this side Of the
creek which divides the city. Locat-
ing the depot on the Shields property
will put new life into this section OF
the city and give it a more evenly bal.
anced growth, something every fair
and broad-minded citizen will witness
with pleasure. There will be some de.
sirable business locations just east OF
the bridge and property is likely to
double in value in the near future,
The present business centre of the
city is too thoroughly established to
be injuriously affected hence everyone
can look with satisfaction upon any
thing that will contribute to the
growth and welfare Of the city as a
whole.

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

When In lS99-four years ago-tne
people of Fergus county voted in favor
Of the establishment of a Free County
High School and the same fall the
school was opened, few realized what
its growth would be and how far
reaching its benefits.
Opened with but one instructor two
were necessary when the second
years work began and now three are
employed, with almost positive assur-
ance that next fall a fourth must be
added to the corps. Enrolment has
steadily and rapidly increased, not on
ly from among the older scholars of
the Lewistown district, but from many
other districts of the county.
The item which calls to mind the
rapid advancement of the high school
is that announcing that the trustees
will mex month submit to the voters
of Fergus county the proposition of
bonding the county in the amount of
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting a
suitable building upon the site select
ed last year not far from the district
building at present occupied.
But a few years ago there were
many in Lewistown who believed it
reckless extravaganza for the Lewis
town district to build a $4,000 build
ing when at small expense a wing
could have been added to the struc-
ture then in use. But the enrolment
has increased to such proportions that
not only are the eight rooms in the
new building now occupied, but the
basement as well and n room in the
old building, this term occupied joint
ly by the district and the county
school. Next year both buildings will
be no more than adequate for the dis
trict needs and within two years an
other building will doubtless be a nee
essity.
Under these circumstances the high
school trustees must make 9TH
er arrangements, and as nc other
building is available, or likely to be,

imperative and the only question is
the means.
Two methods are open. One the
raising of the money by taxation with.
in this year, or at most within two
years, and the other by the sale of
bonds. Realizing that an extra levy
of probably five mills would fall as a
great burden upon the taxpayers they
submit the question of consent to the
issuance of bonds and 1t is earnestly
to be hoped that the question will re
ceive the endorsement of a large ma
jority, that no cloud may be cast upon
the bonds and that the trustees may
not have to resort to the extra lew
Of five mills.
The payment of the bonds can be
provided for by a very small levy
not over half a mill-each year ant
will scarcely be noticed by the tax
payer.
