FERGUS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL,

The past TWO weeks have been event
ful ones in the history of the Fergus
County Free High School, and the pub
lie has taken more than usual interest
in the contests at Mssoula and the
closing exercises at home. From first
10 last they have been such as to re-
fect great credit upon this young in
stitution of learning. placing it on an
equality with the best conducted high
schools of the state.
Although the school is but seven
years old the gain in attendance from
year to year has been remarkable.
Established in 1899 with Prof. P. NJ,
S1lloway in charge as principal and
teacher, the school has grown from an
enrolment of seventeen scholars and
one teacher to over hundred schol-
airs and sever! instructors in 1906.
The graduating classes have con-
stantly increased in size and this year
the class was more than double that
of any preceding year, sixteen stu
dents receiving diplomas.
Owing to the large number gradual
ing it was found necessary to dispense
with the usual program of essays and
declamations. AS an innovation the
board of trustees invited the Hon.
Theodore Brantly, chief justice of the
supreme court of the state. to deliver
the commencement address, the great
er portion of which will be found on
another page. AS was anticipated the
chief justice gave students, teachers
and patrons something to think about,
whether they can accept all of his
views or not

A recent dispatch to the Montana
Daily Record from Billings states thai
40 head of horses that We're being
shipped from Epharata, Wash, to Dick
inson, N. D., and consigned to j. H
McCurday of that place, died at the
local stock yards in that city. The
wholesale death of the animals is said
to have been caused by filling them up
on water in the Helena yards and
making them run from the starting
point to Billings without feeding. The
loss to the owner will be in the neigh.
borhood of $4,000. Some one is guilty
OF gross neglect in the shipment of
these horses. Aside from the value
of the horses, loss which no shipper
could well bear, it was most cruel
treatment of dumb animals. Is it any
wonder that the humanitarians of the
east protest against long hauls for
stock without rest when they read of
such happenings. Fortunately the instan-
ces are rare when stock of any kind
receives such treatment in shipment.
This case should be investigated by
agents OF the humane society.

The Butte ministerial association is
going to investigate the recent hang
ing of Miles Fuller in that city to as
certain whether or not the law relative
to publicity was violated. 1t is said
that fully two Thousand persons wit
messed the execution of Fuller, which
would seem to be in direct violation
of the statutes in such cases. II it was
not then the coming legislature should
amend the law SO that there can be no
evasion Of it's provisions. Carrying
out the extreme penalty is bad enough
without making it the occasion for a
Roman holiday. A suitable enclosure
for preventing publicity can be con-
structed in days time and no excuse
can be found for such public exhibit
tons. They serve no good purpose.
The Silver Bow sheriff seems also to
have exceeded his authority in issuing
a large number of invitations to the ex.
ecution.

LOWER RAILROAD RATES.

The announcement that the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Ore
Soh Snort Line are going to re-adjust
their freight rates as they affect Mon
lana and give the shippers of the state
over rates, is pleasing bit of news
1t is stated that about June LIST the
three roads will announce new
schedule of rates which will become
effective July LIST, under which sub.
stantial reductions in many items will
be made and in no case will there be
any increase Wherever a change n
made it will be to the advantage OF
the shippers. The revision of rates
VIII be a general one, so far as Mon.
tana points are concerned and not
merely revision of local rates in the
state. The revision will affect rates
on all shipments in, to or from Mon
tana. consigned to or from anv point
IN the territory west of the Missis
Sippi. 1t will be a general revision on
shipments in which Montana people
are interested"
whether the prospects of national
rate legislation combined with the de-
ihahd for state railroad commission
and the fact that We are to have ad
ditional railroad facilities, has had any
thing TO do with the decision of the
roads to give Montana a Square deaT'
IN freight rates can only be surmised.
Every shipper feels, and has felt for
some time, that he has been paying
excessive rates and that there was no
means of redress except through leg
lslation by congress and the senate.

Again the seniors reception to the
juniors of the high school was marred
by some youths who are unable to
see the distinction between harmless
jokes and infractions of the law. There
is nothing cute or funny in acts that
border on vandalism. While consid
cradle allowance must be made for
the FRANKS of the young and their lack
of discretion, there are times when
stern measures should be exercised to
prevent repetitions of such offenses. if
those guilty can be apprehended. This
would seem to be one of the occa.
sions. There is plenty of opportunity
for harmless mischief at times
without going to the extent of destroy.
ing property. The young must have
their fun and their pleasures, but it
should not go so far as to partake of
something criminal. If such things
are done with impunity by those con-
nected with our schools-and we trust
such is not the case-why should not
immunity be extended to others? Such
acts are of the same spirit that prompt
hazing, which is being condemned and
frowned upon in every educational in
stitutiOn of the country, and which
should be treated as an evidence of
past savagery, instead of a develop
ment of the twentieth century.

Taking all of the high school exer-
cises and functions together they have
given Lewistown the appearance of a
rapidly growing educational center.
The Fergus County Free High
School is proving one Of the best in
vestments ever made by the people OF
the county. Year after year it is turn
ing out graduates, boys and girls, who
be equipped to enter successfully
into the ordinary pursuits of life. II
they can afford to pursue their studies
st,'! further by entering college they
have secured a start that will be OF
great help to them.
The patrons of the school, the prin-
cipa and teachers, the students and
the board of trustees, have reason for
congratulation over what has been ac-
complished during the past year as
well as the bright prospects for the
future.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Tomorrow will be Memorial day, 4
day devoted and consecrated to those
who gave and others who willingly Of
ferel their lives for their flag and their
country.
Time does not dim nor memory fail
to recall the noble deeds and sacri-
fees of those in whose memory the
day is set apart for observance. Old
and young will join in honoring and
paying tribute to the dead. All over
this broad land in every little ham
let some soldier lies buried who wore
the blue; some. perchance. lie in I'M
known and unmarked graves, where
wild flowers only can blossom and
cast their fragrance over the hallowed
spot. But all, whether their remains
rest in grated vaults. beneath tower
ing monuments. or in the bleak and
barren desert, are entitled to our
tribute of love and gratitude.
At the close of the civil war, after
the last grand review, thousands of
veterans. restless and filled with the
spirit of adventure, found homes in
the far west, never to return to the
scenes of their childhood. In their
absence. father, mother, and perhaps,
brothers and sisters have passed away
and there was little left to cheer the
hearts of these soldier-pioneers.
1t is only few years since Lewis
town could boast of a grand army post
with a roster fully fifty strong-the
James A. Shields post. But gradually
its membership vanished until only a
few are left to hold aloft its banner
and pay tribute to their brothers who
have fallen from the ranks
To those left with us what memories
the day must recall: what scenes of
carnage. what hardships and suffer
ing from the long marches that test
ed their patriotism and strength. What
soldiers they We're. fighting against
brothers Of equal valor, and all Amer
leans. The phalanXes of Cyrus, OF
Alexander and Napoleon contained
none drawer or better.
Nevermore will there be internecine
wars. One flag and one nation is the
heritage resulting from the civil con-
test. We have a united country. All
love and honor the same flag. Brave
men do not harbor hatred toward an
honorable foe. and the soldiers of the
nf n Ja,-
since buried all animosties left over
from the war and tomorrow the graves
of both will be decorated alike wher-
ever they are to be found.
The old veterans are rapidly pass.
ing away, vanishing at the rate of s.
900 a month, 10000 year. Soon they
will be memory only, but a memory
ever fresh and green in the hearts
of a grateful people.
And while We decorate the graves
of those who served in the greater
war, let us not forget that in our GEM
etery are the remains of two of Fer
gus county's sons, heroes who were
among the first to answer their coun-
try's call in the war with Spain. They
gave up their lives in the far away
Philippines while CALAMITY defending
the stars and stripes They made the
greatest of all sacrifices, for which
they are entitled to the fullest need
OF praise from their comrades and cit
liens alike.

Swear not by the stars that you love

Swear not that her eyes
Are as blue as the blue sky above her
Swear not that JOY dies
When you think of future without
her,
Swear not that romance all about her
Enchantingly lies.
Swear not that you blindly adore her,
Nor fall at her feet,
Lest in your glad arlor you bore her
Be calm and discreet;
Exhibit your bank account to her.
If it's big you will not need to WOO her.
If it isn't, retreat.
