CANADIAN PACIFIC TO
BUILD AMERICAN LINE
Reports Say Road Contemplates Extern
sion Into Montana.

The Canadian Pacific may cross the
international boundary and operate rail
road in Montana.
A special dispatch from New York saws.
"A private London cablegram says there
IS a strong probability Of the Canadian
Pacific gaining a foothold in the Amer
lean Northwest by acquiring an existing
railroad. Consultations are being held in
London to determine the basis upon which
such plan can be accomplished.
There is some guessing as to what
railroad the Canadian Pacific can be after
since the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific control the principal outlets north
ward. The Great Falls & Canadian rail-
way, 200 miles long, runs down from
Lethbridge, Alberta. to Great Falls, and,
with the Alberta Railway & Coal com
pany lines, makes connection with the
Canadian Pacific
1.-THE latter, however, hardly wants to
stop at Great Falls. 1t is suggested that
the 500 might be extended farther west. :"
Twin City officials of the 500 line said
last night that they know nothing Of the
proposed extension.

PERsoNAeEs AND THE PUBLIC.

The friends of Miss Helen Gould are
expressing themselves very freely con-
corning. the rudeness of the general
public. They declare that the curiosity
of the people interfered with Miss
Gould's sightseeing at the st. Louis
exposition. Wherever she went she
was followed by a crowd of strangers
whose sole object seemed to be to stare
her out of countenance. She was COM
PEELED, finally, to, go about in a closed
auto and to visit the buildings in the
exactly like her so that it was impossi-
bic for the crowd to distinguish her
in the party.
Most children are taught that 1t is
i'll bred to stare and that curiosity is
generally vulgar, and doubtless when
they grow up and become part of the
general public they try to remember
this. But in this age of publicity il is
too much to expect that the public will

philanthropy has become a household
word. When the public has an OBJ
portunity to see her in the flesh whose
charity has filled columns in the news
papers and the magazines, it is useless
to expect the majority of people to re-
member that the lady is sensitive and
does not like to be stared at.
In this matter of staring it is proba- :
BILE that the American public displays
no worse manners than those displayed
by foreign publics. But in the Old
world the curiosity of the public is
gratified in a legitimate way. There
are personages over there who con-
slider it one of their minor public du-
ties to permit the general public to
gaze upon them frequently. Here in
America, where every individual re-
CARDS himself both as a king and a
private citizen, the curiosity of the
public is afforded no such legitimate
qualification. No matter how promi-
nent he may become, the citizen feels
that he has a right to resent any OBJ
trusive attention the public may ten
der.
And doubtless he has such a right.
but it is useless to expect the public to
pay any attention to it in this in
quisitive age. American personages
might do as royalty does on the other
side, set aside certain days for public
appearances and on the others appear
incognito. When King Edward as
sumes one of his lesser titles and goes
to town, although everybody recog-
nizes the royal countenance nobody
makes the mistake of staring. The
public respects his wishes because it
knows that there are times when the
king does not object to their curiosity.
They realize the fairness of the ar
rangement. Perhaps American per-
sonages could adopt a similar scheme
that would serve as a malkeshift until
the millennium arrives when, of course.
nobody viii be curious and nobody will
stare.

The Republican party in Wisconsin,
