The pestiferous Tillman. of South
Carolina, mustered eight votes in the
senate on his resolution calling for an
investigation of the Minor Morris in,
cident at the White House. This was
expected Tillman has no following

His attack upon the president in this
instance was due to personal animOS
lily. The probabilities are that Mrs.
Minor Norris was removed from the
White House with all the delicate con-
sideration due a woman and with as
little force as was necessary to meet
the resistance offered. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the attendants at the
White House are the most democrat

that guard the homes of rulers
throughout the world. The humblest
person in the United States will get
respectful treatment there even if not

AFTER THE HAZERS.

Inc statement THAT SIN No"ho w
lege students have met death in the
past wear as a result of hazing prac-
,iced in the educational institutions OF
the United States should alarm par
ents who anticipate sending their
boys to college.
The efforts that are now being made
TO stamp out hazing at the Annapols
naval academy and in colleges gener-
ally should receive the support OF the
press, the pulpit and the people.
There is nothing that can be said IN
its favor. 1t is brutal degrading and
cowardly Some Of the methods OF
torture, and no other words can eX-
nress it would equal in severity the
miller barbarities practced upon the
whites by the American Indians cen
tury ago Are our college students
reverting to the abOrigincS? II would
seem that way if half of the reports
we read of haZing are true.
There may be instances OF harmless
pleasure in initiating the new stu
dents into the ways of college life, but
the danger is in the eXcesses. In
their ingenuity and desire to seek
some new features the seniors go too
far and become cruel toward their
helpless victims. whom they not only
seek to humiliate but to do bodily
harm.
For some reason, college students
are TOO apt to think they are privileg-
cd characters and not amenable to
college regulations or the laws of the
country. They should be given to un-
derstand thar at Least the law is no
respectcr of persons and that GER
tain style of cap or a stripe on their
pants will not render them exempt
from prosecution
Too much should not be expected
of the Young but IA boy does not have
to be very old to know the difference
between right and wrong and what
constitutes harmless sport or fun.
The people of Lewistown take a just
pride in their schools and hope to see
great results from them in the future,
but they will not stand for ungentle-
manly conduct on the part of the
young men who attend them.
An incident which occurred in con
nection with the party given by the
eighth grade of the city school last
week should not be allowed to pass
by unnoticed. II is stated that one
or more young men or boys from the
High school, entered the hall where the
refreshments were concealed and car
ried most of them away. at the same
time pouring a quantity of whisky in
t. the bowl of punch that had been
prepared. There was nothing cute or
smart about this proceeding, as it
greatly interfered with the pleasure
of those who We're anticipating a good
time
The Argus hopes that no one CON
nected with the high school is guilty
of this and trusts that suspicious in
that direction are groundless.

Heres is of humble origin. He is the

power vested in tn president of the

II would hardly seem a paying prop

Iowa for feeding purposes, but ranch
crS on the Marias are doing it and
claim that il is cheaper than native
hay. The corn, which is fed to the
stock and calves, costs about 50 cents
a bushel in Iowa. Although the
freight on the corn is high the feed
ers estimate that il is about 20 per
cent cheaper than Montana hay, which
is very scarce and high in price in
that section. 1t is said that at first
