The Columbia Band, assisted by Mrs.
Rounds and her class and other local
talent, gave very creditable enter
tainment at the courthouse last Thurs
day evening. The exercises were open
ed by Rev. A. R. Kasey, who delivered
very interesting address. Miss Lima
Rosenield, in her usual happy style,
rendered solo: Misses Lula Allen,
Katie Murrell and Bess Rowe recited
most admirably; Mr.. Elan Harris and
Miss Verna Dohoney, violen and guitar,
delighted the audience. The solo by
Miss lone Rounds was rendered beauti-
fully. The band was in playing mood
and favored the audience with a num-
Der of new selections. At the hour of
lO:15 the program had been rendered,
those in attendance winding their way
to their respective homes feeling glad
that they had been highly entertained.

A large number of the younger set
met at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. C. S.
Harris last Friday evening and enjoyed
themselves to their hearts content until
the hour of 10 o'clock. There were mu-
sic and parlour games, and the young
bellies and beaux who were inclined to
stroll about the yard were given an op-
portunity. Ernest Harris, who is very
quiet-not often seen with young la
dies, was master of ceremonies and he
performed his duty to perfection.
There were several grown persons pres
ent, who intently looked on wishing
that they could return to their child
hood days, play "Jennie Put the Kettle
on" and "Come under my Honey, my
Love-"

BRYAN AND "PRlVATE MONOP

In view of the Bryan ward drift in
the Democratic party, especially
among the, whilom safe-and-sane Sec
lions thereof, and in view of the can
did remark of counsel for Standard
Oil that Mr.. Bryan looks conserva-
tive beside the present occupant Of
the White House." it is interesting to
turn to the latest interview with that
political leader, cabled the other day
from Norway, says the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.
Trusts will be the paramount issue
in the next national election. declares
Mr.. Bryan, and the question will be,
simply, whether the trusts shall swal-
low the United States or the United
States shall get rid of the trusts. For
his own part, MIR. Bryan demands and
will demand in the campaign EXTERN

Unquestionably President Roosevelt

THE YOGO SAPPH,RES.

South America has her Kimberly
and De Beers diamond mines, the on.
ly great producers of the rare gems in
the world, and Yet it is doubtful if the
inhabitants about them fully appre
ciate their Importance in adding to
the wealth of nations. Possibly as
Montanans, as residents of Fergus
county, We are apt to give but pass
ing thought to the wonders and re-
sources in our midst. We get used
to great things in great country and
view them in a matter of fact way.
II South Africa leads the world in
the production of the sparkling dia-
monds, Fergus county bids fair to take
first place in the output of sapphires,
from the mines at Yogo. New capital
is being invested in these mines and
before the close of the present year
the output of sapphires from the dis
trict will be more than trebled.
There is great demand for the Yogo
sapphires. They stand high in the
markets of the world. They are bril-
liant, free from flaws and of a gooa
color, ranging from light shades to the
rich. deep blue of oriental sapphires."
With an American and an English
company operating in the mines large
results can be expected, while the dis
trlct is likely to become famous as a
gem produced.
With gold, silver and sapphire mines
opened up the Belt mountains may
yet prove great contributor to the
wealth Of Fergus county and Central
Montana. And it is not a long shot
to predict ample railroad facilities on
the upper Judith as soon as the out
put will warrant them.

must go. Private monopoly is no more
to be tolerated than regulated steal
ing. Corporations should be regulat-
ed, but when a corporation becomes
a monopoly, capital punishment is the
only cure for it.
Mr.. Bryan is student and thinker,
and he has mquestionably grown
since 1896. But this treatment of the
monopoly question shows that he has
room for further growth and need for
good deal of further study and re-
Election.
Monopolstc combinations whose
sole object is control of prices, the
prevention of competition among in
dependent firms and establishments
are illegal. and when the United States
government employs the law to sup
press them-that is, to compel their
dissolution-the people properly re-
joice and applaud. The securities COM
pany. the paper trust. the government
thus suppressed under the law. and if
Mr.. Bryan has similar illegal. artifi-
cial combinations in mind. he is with
in the bounds of conservatism and rea-
son.
But what of combinations of private
monopolies. that are the result of ac-
tual consolidation, of acquisition, alb
sorption purchase? Would he exter-
inmate these? Would he put an ar
btrary limit to consolidation and COM
pei unrestricted. cut-throat competi
ton? Would he order the restoration
of small industries. of small establish
ments?
OF course the thing is impossible.
Combination has its justification. its
foundation. in economy of production,
in superior efficiency. To resist it is
to resist the application of intelligence
and skill to productive processes, to
and administration.
Is such resistance desirable? Would
it be rational? No; the real problem
is to prevent the profits. the sayings,
Of combination from being monopoliz-
ed by the producers and withheld from
the consumers. Combination for the
benefit of a few and to the detriment
of the many is intolerable. 1t is in
tolerable. not because it is monopoly,
but because it is an instrument of ex-
tortion and plumber. The monopoly
which cheapens goods and divides the
economies of superior organization
with consumers is beneficial to society
The monopoly which prospers on &C.
count of merit and good service is
positive advantage.
Society vii, not exterminate mo-
nopoly. 1t will try to control it and
correct its evils. while preserving it's
great ecomnomic advantages. If con-
troll fails. the ownership of the monop-
oily will change hands, The people
will make it public instead of private.
But the monopoly will remain
Mr.. Bryan should paste this in his
hat and ruminate upon it between in
dorsement and interviews.

CONGRESS ADJOURNED,

Congress adjourned last Saturda,
after one of the most eventful and
important sessions in many years. 4
month ago the Democratic press was
pointing to the record of the 59th con
gress as one of do nothing. void OF
results, in the hope of making politi
cal capital. Some even went so far as
TO say that there would be no railroad
rate legislation. that the denaturzed
alcohol bill would never see the light

was hopelessly lost. that no new states
would be admitted, and more pessi-
mistic drivel Of the same sort.
AS matter of fact if congress had
done no more in a large way than to
pass the railroad rate bill, it would
have had much to its credit, consider
ing the contending interests, the long
debate and the many difficult points
involved. But congress went far be-
yond all expectations in the passage

try. All of the above named bills.
