HIS POLICY

ELECTED MAYOR.

Ministerial Candidate for MayoraIty
opens Campaign in Behalf of
Higher Moral Plane.

pa new phase of activity developed
in the mayoraltiy contest yesterday
when the Good Citizens league, which
has been working quietly heretofore,
announced that its candidate, Doctor
G. B. Miller, would discuss the issues
OF the campaign in an open air
speech
In the evening the Billings band
played a few selections at the corner
of TWenty-ninth street and Montana
avenue, bringing the crowd together
near the public library, where the
speaking was afterwards done. AL
though notices of the meeting were
only circulated during the day. an au.
dience of nearly 800 voters was as
sembled when the speaker began his
address.
Doctor Miller spoke along the lines
of general municipal policy and also
discussed the special features of city
government pertaining to Billings.
In his Introductory remarks he com
mented on the personal honor CON
ferred upon him by the attendance of
such a representative audience. Then
taking up the issues of the day., he
discussed the moral question at some
length, saying that Rp other subject
is as important to any community as
this one. The increasing Importance
of this city as rapidly growing cen
ter of a vast community of homes
was emphasized, together with the ne
cessity for a proper regard for the
propagation of the home spirit.
Power of Environment.
Environment" the speaker assert
ed, ''has vastly more to do with the
development of the man than heredity
can possibly have. Lawlessness and
the breaking of laws breed con-
tempt for tine law that eventually
leads youth into bahits of intellectual
degeneracy and moral turpitude. In
community constantly violating es-
tablished law the succeeding genera
tion will be inferior to the present.
The home life will become more lax
with every failure in civic administra-
tion and persons seeking a desirable
location tor homes will pass such by
and go to city devoid of these ob
jectionable features"

court has decided that the order, issued
by Superior Judge Coffey, appointing a

Izette prints another inspired dispatch
from Berlin apropos Of The Figoro's :
additions to The Mathis story which
can only be interpreted as a plain hint
Ato the British government to- explain
its role in the matter. The dispatch
notes that while The Mathis version
only gave ground for the assumption
that the suggested alliance of France
and Great Britain against Germany
had an official character The Figaro ]
confirms this assumption BY
giving the names Of the parties and
says that this makes the case against
M. Delcasse all the stronger The
mention of the name of Lord Lans-
'doWne, the British foreign secretary,
in connection with the matter sheds
upon the story an embarrassing light
