WcMAN'S DAY SERVICE.
Pastor Of Galbraith Church breaches
Sermon to Fraternal Order.

The ryomans day service a Galbraith a.
NJ f. Zion Church on 9th street etween l.
and M streets northwest, Sunday was re-
garded as a great success. There were two
largely attended services, one at IL AM.
and the other at 8 pm. Mrs. B. c. Francis
of the board of education presided. The
invocation was by Mrs. Ida Smith, wife
of Bishop J. W. Smith. Miss NJ. Z. Madre
District superintendent A. NJ. E. Missionary
Society, made an address in the morning
reviewing missionary work. At the even
ing service Mrs. Mary Griffith, Mrs Clair,
Mrs Waddleston and others made br1e1
talks on missionary work. Ihese were 1oi-
lowed by an appeal by Miss S. j. Janlfer,
secretary of the Woman's Home and For
eign Missionary Society of the A. NJ. f.
Zion connection. She pointed out the work
of the church in foreign fields as well as
that in this country. The success of these
meetings was said to be largely due to the
efforts of Miss +. V. Wallace, president OF
the local missionary society.
At pm. the pastor, Rev. Dr. S. l..
Corrothers, preached sermon to st. Mat
thew's Lodge, No. 9. of the A. .. Is. OF j.
on its twelfth anniversary. The sermon
was preceded by a reading of the history
of the order by its secretary, and the roll
call of its dead. The subject treated by DR..
Corrothers was Activity and Truth. He
said, among other things, that the colored
women are becoming educated much more
rapidly than are the men of their race, and
that it is a shame to see educated young
women marry young men VINO can neither
read nor write, and vice versa. He said
such couples are so unequa1ly matched that
they cannot understand each other, and
that this brings on domestic trouble. He
said that Washington is overcroWded al
ready with population and that 10 more
coloTed people ought to come here, for il
one hundred thousand more should come
those that are now here will have to leave
to find work
He was followed by Rev. j. w. Smith, ex-
past grand master of the lodge, who
strongly indorsed the sermon and reviewed
the history of the knights. The public col
lection for the day MAS SEQ.

In the debate on the gambling bill
In the house Speaker Hedges made a
strong argument in opposition to it's
passage. Mr.. Speaker rarely ever gets
OH wrong on any legislative PROPOSE
ton. Whatever the necessity for rails
ing revenue the state of Montana can.
not afford to enter into a co-partner.
ship with vice for that purpose. Mon
tana wants more people; it wants mel
OF families, men of character, brains
and energy to build up the state, oc-
curry the waste place and start new
enterprises. Licensed gambling would
mean that Montana paced a premium
on vice and offered a Autographed
ca'ono to every davotee If the g,,ua
between the two oceans. 1t would be
an advertisement for paupers to c-me
here, as professional gamblers are
on-producers-earn nothing with
their own hands and brains that would
contribute to the wealth and welfare
CT the state. They are vultures of
passage that prey upon the weak. In
this controversy there is satisfaction
IN knowing that but one newspaper in
the state advocated licensed gambling.

WILL MEET TO PROTEST.

We learn that there will be a meet.
ing of several hundred ranchmen al
Moore tomorrow to enter their protest
against the efforts that are being made
TO deprive some settlers of the land
they have taken up under the desert
land act. Until a very recent period
all of the bench lands in the basin
have been regarded as desert in char
acter and suitable for grazing purposes
only. Under this classification many
have acquired land through the desert
act, believing that they were comply
ing fully with the United States land
laws in SO doing. Now, it appears,
that several of these claims are to De
contested on the ground that the LAND
has been wrongly entered. If this
is correct statement of the facts
there is ample reason for public pro-
test, as it will work a hardship to
those who have gone ahead in good
faith to secure title to the land. 1t is
not so many years ago that the great
err portion OF the bench lands in the
basin were regarded as almost worth
less; there was not fence to be seen
and stock roamed at large over thous-
ands of acres. Now there is strife ov
err the possession of these lands. All
good citizens hope some day to see
the Judith basin in a high state of
cultivation, but will regret any steps
that may be taken to cause trouble
and expense to those who have COM
piled with the land laws as they have
been interpreted for the past twenty
years.
