Minneapolis Journal: Two Boston
men have recently demonstrated the
value of advertising in somewhat un-
tried fields. Douglas, the shoe man,
advertised himself as a candidate for
governor in much the same way that
he advertised himself as a maker OF
shoes. Result: He romped into the

THE SYSTEM is WRONG.

Probably only the fadists and theo-
rists and those who profess a con-
tempt for things of the past will be
heard in protest against the senti-
ment that seems to be fast crystaliz-
ing all over the land that the time
has arrived when the parents of chill
dren attending the public schools
should demand a revision of methods
and a return to some of those that
obtained before the present system OF
examining and half educating gained
a foothold. Much as they may at
tempt to show that the opposite is the
case, the fact remains that the educa-
tors Of the present are falling far
short of accomplishing what their pre-
decessors accomplished for the men
and women of middle age of today.
Instead of being grounded in their
studies and equipped mentally for the
responsibilities awaiting them when
they leave school, the boys and girls
of this generation are rushed through
that institution with much the same
speed that wheat is rushed through
the mill, the object apparently being
to see how soon a child may be got-
ten rid of. The learning they receive
is at best only superficial. Even in
what were formerly considered the
rudiments, the foundation, they are
deficient. This applies to those in
the high schools as well as
to those in the primary and interme-
date grades. To read and spell cor.
rectly has become all but a lost art,
while rapidity and facility in the simp-
Ter forms of arithmetic are wholly
lacking in all but a very few who may
have a natural aptitude for that study

ticket? IT we mistake not, this sort
Of advertising is quite as novel as the
Douglas experiment, though little has
been said about it. Spacious adve--
tisements of the republican party and
its candidates appeared in all the
leading magazines. They were hand
somely illustrated, well written and
adapted in each instance to the ma
ture of the clientele of the magazine.
In the Ladies' Home Journal we read
much about the president as a family
man; in Outing advertisements TOLD
us about him as hunter and lover at
outdoor life; in Century we found him
described as scholar and historian;
in McClure's special emphasis was
laid on his record as an enemy Of
evildoers and the incompetent.
Little attention has been paid to
this able advertising in explaining
the wonderful triumph of the repubIi-
can party at the recent election, but
why should it not be accorded it's full
share of the honors? If advertising
IN Massachusetts will elect a COVER
nor, and advertising in New York will
give Wall street tremors, why may
not advertising have had something
to do with the size, at beast, of the
unparalleled majority by which Mr..
Roosevelt was elected president?

Livingston, Dec. AS T. Hauser,
former governor of Montana, is now

immense dam at the first canyon OF
the Yellowstone, five miles south OF
this city. If the money is torthcom-

600.
Il this project goes through it will
be necessary to rebuild many miles OF
the park .prancn of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, the county steel double
bridge across The river at that point
and about IL miles of county road, not
to mention the abandonment of nu-
merOus ranches and farms now occu-
plying the bottom lands of the Yellow
stone river.
The ultimate results, however,
would be of 4nestimable benefit to
Livingston and hundreds of settlers
down the valley from this point as
far as Billings, 1913 miles to the east
ward. Irrigation would be possible
where now only barren flats exist. Liv-
ingston, which is the sixth city in
size in Montana, would soon rank as
third or fourth, and the products OF
the upper Yellowstone valley would
be ample to supply the needs of the
entire state.
The promoters of the enterprise
have already asked the Livingston
city council for a power and electric
light franchise. AS four out of six
members favor it, a special election
will probably soon be called to submit
the matter to the voters. Whether
this city grants franchise rights or
not, the dam will be built, say the
promoters, and the electrical. power

WAVE OF IMMIGRATION.

Minneapolis journal: Although the
volume OF immigration into the United
States in the last fiscal veal decreased
$4,000 as compared with the number
OF the preceding year, it was still
enormous, being 812,870. To give an
adequate impression of this number
some comparisons need to be made.
1t is about equal to the total popula-
ton of North and South Dakota or to
that OF the whole of Canada from the
Great Lakes to the Pacific. II st.
Louis were to be depopulated this
wave of humanity could fill it up
again and leave about 200, 600 people
for the suburbs.
But We have long since passed the
point in the United States when the
size Of the annual human influx is a
matter OF rejoicing. w are now far
concerned about the quality.
With the increase in recent years OF
the number OF persons coming from
eastern and southern Europe, there
has been a %tenoency to conclude that
the human stock we are receiving is
much inferior to that we were getting
thirty years ago, when the northern
countries of Europe were almost the
only source. Opinion on this point is
not unanimous, some observers hold
ing that after all the bulk of the peo-
pie We are getting from southern Eu-
rope r very good human stock, cer-
tain to improve and flourish wonder
fully in the free life of America.
At any rate, the quality OF the emf
grants coming from northern Europe
has never been questioned. Hence.
whatever be the opinion regarding
those who come from the south, there
can be no dissatisfaction with figures
that show a great decline in the past
year in the number of immigrants
from the doubtful countries and a large
increase in those from the countries
OF northern Europe. One of the most
notable gains is that of the immigra-
ton coming from the British islands,
the increase being over Is, 700. This is
remarkable in view of the extraordi-
nary efforts being put forth to divert
this population movement to Canada
and other colonies. AS the British emil
grants who come to the United States
encouragement OF any kind, it is likely
that in respect to energy, initiative,
resourcefulness and independence
they are the cream of the annual in
fiux from the old country.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-12-16

It is notable that the northwestern
states, though without any immigra-
ton bureaus, received $4,000 of the
total immigration, and their share is
OF most excellent quality. The excel
lence Of these newcomers consists not
only in their physique and character,
but also in their destination and
choice of occupations. The bulk Of
them go to the small towns and the
country and become farmers or farm
laborers.

ment and a speedy repeal of the law
that holds promise of so much good,
not for the west alone, but for the en-
tire country.
In view of the article which ap-
peared in yesterday issue of The
Gazette it is considered as important
to again sound a warning and to ask
that the people of Montana enter an
earnest protest and strengthen the
hands of their representative, who has
already declared himself opposed to
the Vaccinations of the Hans
broughs and others of that ilk who are
the originators of the plot. Instead of
permitting the work OF reclamation
to remain as the law intended it
should be, free from all political iniu-
ences, it is now purposed to amend or
change the law and bring about the
very opposite. The harm that would
come from this is so great and appar
ent that all must see it. The geologi- |
cal survey has shown itself to be en-
tirely competent and absolutely hon
est and no good or su1icient reason
can be advanced at this time why it |
should not be permitted to carry to a
conclusion the work that has been
entrusted to it. 1t is certainly doing
better than any bureau organized on
political lines could be expected to
do, and it has the confidence of tine
The manner in which national
irrigation has thus far been handled
has had much to do with the growing
popularity of the law, for those who
formerly were in opposition to it have
become convinced of it's beneficence
and that 1t will be administered with
a view to securing the greatest good
to the largest number and that the
whole country will be benefited, in
stead of only certain localities, as
was formerly believed.
Mr.. Dixon may be depended upon to
do all within his power to defeat the
scheme, but he should not be permit
ed to work alone. The people of Mon
Jana can assist him materially in the
fight he intends to make for them
when the time for action arrives.

SUGGESTIVE ACTIVITY.

0OSN-S Nv -
Had the attorney general instituted
proceedings against the trusts nearer
the beginning of his term, instead OF
waiting until it has almost expired,
he would have been given greater
credit than is accorded him now. Hon
est though his motive may be, it is
not regarded as he probably would
like. People have a way of d%issecting
the motives of men, especially men
in the position of Mr.. Donovan, and
the conclusions they arrive at are not
always pleasing to the subject.
Mr.. Donovan cannot plead ignor-
sance; he surely must have known
long ago that the so-called beef trust
and the harvester trust were doing
business in the state. AS a lawyer
and a public official he certainly did
not remain in ignorance of that fact
until this late date. To
otherwise would be an insult to one
CT his intelligence and a reflection
'sun his knowledge of the most ordinary
Affairs. Every man who buys meat
in.the state knows all about the beef
crust, and many who do not buy that
commodity know about it. The same
also applies to the harvester trust. !
-jBut for all this widely disseminated
knowledge, Mr.. Donovan saw fit to
delay institution of prosecution OF the
two scyncerns until on the eve OF his
when he could not rea-
sonably hope to bring it to a concll-
SION. For this reason his sudden act
ivity as an annihilator of unlawful
combines it looked upon with doubt
and suspicion, and the public feels
justified in believing that some utter
ior motive is prompting him. What
it may be is uncertain, but one of
two conclusions seems reasonable:
He either wishes to place the affairs
of his Office in such shape that when
hic cI1nnocro~ 4o1ynn orr Lo -y;1l
find himself the legatee of an inner
itance calculated to cause him to
walk the floor, or else theinks that
by his present move he will inspire in
the minds of the people whom he at
fleets to serve at this late date the
belief that he sought to really serve
them, but unfortunately expiration OF
1is tenure of Office prevented it. II
1t is the latter, he will speedily learn
his mistake; the men of Montana are
not quite SO easily imposed upon as !
shat and their gullibility is not OF
such proportions, even though a ma
.jority of them were misled into elect
ing him attorney general. If he has
for his motive the wish to make things
unpleasant. for Mr.. Galen when that
assumes the office Mr..
Donovan is about to v~acate, he may !
succeed, but the people will not &C.
cord him the cordial approval he pos
.sibly anticipates.
Mr.. Donovan waited too long and
by doing SO lost an opportunity to in
trench himself in the admiration and
esteem of the people, and his unex-
pected performance of duty at this
late day will not increase the number
of his friends. The thing is too
diaphanous and too suggestive to de-
ceive any one, even Mr.. Donovan
himself.
