In reference to the circulars which
have been distributed in the city de-
claring the Chinese restaurants un-
fair, the mayor stated that it was
beyond his Jurisdiction to stop 1T and
did not care to do so, but standing in

that, when called on for protection,
same had to be granted and the dele

An editorial appeared in the Helena
Record Of recent date complimenting
Havre on its progressive improve
ments throughout the city. 1t also
gives credit to Mayor Newman, where,
in fact, more of our citizens are
entitled to merit and praise. While
it is fact that Mayor Newman is
deserving to a great extent for the
construction of the city water works
and sewer system the establishment
of a free library, and the promotion
of the best fire department in the
state, as we'll as a progressive
Cemetery Board, still we must rise to
remark that our magnificent buildings,
equipped from celler to attic are the
work OF all the enterprising business
men Of Havre. But it is only fair to
state in justice TO Mayor Newman
that he has given the city the most
progressive administration it ever
had. On assuming the office of mayor
year ago he submitted list of rec
ommendatisns for the civic improve
ment of Hayre, and they were carried
out according to program. In the
construction Of tie handsome and
substantial buildings. in the city, the
business men. are entitled to their
share of credit. In accomplishing the
progressive city improvements that
have been made within the last year,
the city administration is entitled to
a great deal of credit. 1t is fortu-
nate, however, that both of these i'm
provements kept pace with the other.
Had they not, the effect would have
been entirely different, 1t is certain,
however, that if the city of Havre
continues in it's improvements for the
next five years as it haas within the
last year, it will be the handsomest
and most progressive little city in the
state.

FROM THE STANDPOINT
OF the 0PTIMIST


part of the water system, including
all Of the pumping station but the
engine and pumps. The contract in
cluded 96 points with all of the con-
nections, excavating, timbering ETC.,
the lowest bid was submitted by A. C.
Edwards, being S8,36l and the con-
tract was awarded to him. Work is to
be pushed as fast as possible and as
soon as few of the points are driven
and the quantity of water ascertained,
the contract for the rest Of the whole
system will be let. Plans and speeifi-
cations are complete for the rest of
the system.
An ordinance was passed making it
illegal to conduct an opium joint, or
any place where same may be smoked,
or the sale of same permitted; the OBJ
ject in this ordinance was SO that the
city can prosecute these cases rather
than have them prosecuted under the
state law.
A set of resolutions were presented
by the Trades and Labor Council, ask
ing the city council to refuse the is
suance of license to Chinese to con-
duct any business in the city. A pro-
test was also entered by Sing Lee, a
Chinaman conducting a restaurant,
that business manager representing
some of the labor organizations was
standing in front Of his place Of busi-
ness jntimidating people from patron
izing his place of business, etc.
The city council decided that it was
unconstitutional for the city council
to refuse the Chinese license to con-
duct any legitimate business, and that
the city was not in shape to take any
chances of inviting law suit against
the city, or get tangled up in any in
ternational complications. II the la
Dor organizations were desirous of rid
ding the city of Chinese restaurants,
that they had better influence it's
members not to patronize them. On
the other hand, the council decided
that standing in front of mans
place of business and intimidating
people was going to extremes, and
that as long as the Chinese were pay
ing license, they were entitled to pro-
lection, and the city would have to
give it..
The mayor took the stand, on the
request of the Trades and Labor coun-
Gil, that the city issue no more Ii
cense to Chinese to conduct any busi-
ness; that it would leave the city
subject to a lawsuit against it by the
Chinese, through the Chinese CONSUL
and ambassador, and that the city is
in no shape to subject itself to such
danger. However, the city attorney
was instructed to look up the inter-
national law on the subject. The
mayor expresses himself as being in
full sympathy with labor organiza-
tions, but as mayor of the city, it
was matter of the law being up
held, rather than TO enforce his wish
es or sentiments. In the matter of
Business Agent McSpadden, who was
accused by one Sing Lee of standing
In front Of his place of business and
intimidating people from entering
same for purpose of patronizing it,
the mayor stated that such action
was foo ra1;a.l IN At,o .-+.a~
