Women at a Premium,

The residents of Jackson, Wyo., have
sent out an appeal through the press
for women to teach school, and rende,
other help. They say all the teachers
who come there marry so soon that the
schools often have to be closed. while
feminine "help" of any kind is al
most impossible to keep for the same
reason.
According to the U. S. census OF
1900, Wyoming had the smallest pro
portion o unmarried women tc it's pop
ul ion Of any state in the Union. And
in Wyoming women have had full sui.
frage for the last 81 years. Yet the
opponents of equal rights continue to
assure us that if women were allowed
to vote, it would be the destruction
OF love and matrimony.

much water. Cuban diarrhoea is al

ernor Toole is not in a position to run
for United States senator. 1t mentions
with great regret his repeated announ-
cement that he would serve out his
term as governor and under no cir
cumstances be a candidate for United
States senator, or accept the position
if it was offered to him.
The Post sees in this situation sure
defeat staring the democratic party of
the state in the face. 1t weeps sad
tears over the outlook, but it sees no
way of avoiding the impending doom.
The Post should not feel so badly; at
least it should not feel so sure that
the governor may not be induced to
change his mind. He has been known
70 do that in the past, and he may do
it again.
1t will be remembered that upon one
historic occasion he announced that he
would not run for governor, but he did
run; it will be remembered that in an.
other instance he advised the legisla.
ture to APPOINT men to positions newly
created by it, and that afterwards he
declared such action on the part of the
legislature as an assumption of au
thority that was outrageous
There are many other instances
when the governor has changed his
mind, and the Leaders guess would
be that he may yet be prevailed" up
on to make the race. In fact, if he felt
sure that he could be elected, there
is not doubt in the mind of anybody
even the governors closest friends
that he would speedily find the way
to change his mind and get into the
race.
But doubtless the governor like
other men who have looked over the
political situation in Montana, has
come to the conclusion that he might
as well stand by his former declara-
ton and thus save his reputation,
rather than go back on his repeated
announcement and still be defeated.
1t does not make great deal of diff
ference to the republicans of the state
whether Governor Toole gets into tho
race or not. The next legislature will
be republican, and republican will be
chosen from Montana to the United
States senate.

MALDivIANS' MYSTIC SEVEN.
Quaint Ceremonies in the Coronation
Of an East India Sovereign.

Sir John Keane, as representative
of the Governor of Ceylon, has paid a
visit to the Maldive Islands, the occa-
sion being the assumption by the Sui.
tan of the sword of state, ceremony
corresponding to coronation.
The British party sailed in the Pros.
erpine of the East Indian squadron
for Mali, the principal island of the
group, which extends in a series OF
atolls for 600 miles. They lie very
low. and "a first glimpse of them sug-
gests simply trees growing out of the
water. Out of the thirty-six islands
only nine are inhabited.
When the Proserpine anchored off
Mali a boat brought out the Prime
Minister. Abraham Dide, and later 4
splendidly fitted state barge embark
ed Sir John keane and his staff for
the shore. The place is close to the
landing stage. The party were led by
the royal bands, composed of twenty
musicians playing tom toms and trum-
pets. They performed weird chant
as the palace courtyards We're passed
through.
The only way to the royal apart
ments was up doubtful ladder. The
reception room was gloomy but lined
with tapestry and covered with car
pet. The Sultan young man gor-
geously dressed in long green silver
embroidered gown. with small. richly
Jeweled turban-met the visitors. He
is only about 20 years of age and hard
ly spoke above a whisper. He accept
ed gratefully a gift from the Ceylon
government of sword of honor and
other presents.
Next day the Proserpine was gaily
dressed with flags and a guard of sea-
men and marines landed and formed
up in the palace square. Sir John
keane and staff followed. Seven is a
mystic number with the Maldivians,
and the ceremony of assuming the
state sword had to be gone through
seven times, seven seats, three of
which were in tents draped with COL
ored materials and the remaining four
inside the palace precincts, having
been erected for the ceremony. The
Sultan, dressed in long orange-colOred
robe with silver embroidery. arrived
from the palace surrounded by the
high officials. He was preceded by 20
volunteers, neatly dressed in white
European uniforms and armed with
rifles, and was followed by the royal
body guard carrying spears and
shields.

THE PARTY IS WITH HIM.

Democratic newspapers appear to
take a little comfort in quoting crit
cisms of President Roosevelt from Ger.
tain eastern Republican papers of in,
dependent or conservative leanings
Possibly in some instances they have
private or corporate interests to serve
in antagOnizng the president Never
theiess, with very few exceptions, the
great Republican 1ailies of the coun-
try and the party press generally are
standing Loyalty by Theodore Roose-
welt in the great reforms he is inaug-
uratins and which he will carry
through to successful issue. George
Washington was criticised and vilified
by the envious and captious, while
Abraham Lincoln had enemies and de-
tractors within his own party.
A man Of Theodore Roosevelt's tenn
permanent and activity is likely to make
mistakes, but when his task is finish
ed and his record closed it will be
found like that of Washington's and
Lincoln's, that his errors were trivial
compared to the great good he accom-
plished for his countrymen.
Furthermore. it can be safely sale
that no president before him ever haf
larger following in his own party
or among the masses of the people
The trusts are composed of men o.
both of the dominant parties and it i
quite natural that they should oppose
the president and in some instances
control newspapers that would and dc
voice their displeasure.
The Republican press is nearly un
animous in its support of the presi

evils and to give every man a square

of his idea of the square deal gave
the graduating class the following good
advice: DO not attack the poor man
who is dishonest, or the rich man who
is dishonest. as a member of a class;
attack simply because he is dishOn-
est. Wage war relentlessly on every
man of wealth who does what is
wrong. Attack in every way the mi
guilty of the corporation. But remem-
Der the men of education, to whom we
have right to look for leadership
that YOU do the greatest possible
wrong if YOU train people to an obliQue

condemn wealth instead of condemn
ing crooked wealth; which shall make

represent not opposite vices but the
same vices developed under different
conditions. You can rest assured that
