A MAGNIFICENT HERITAGE.

The annual report of the state land
Office, which was recently made pub

the area of state lands under lease,
the evenue derived therefrom, AMI
the amount of receipts of the state
land Office during the year from sales
of land, timber and other resources.
1t does not, however, tell the whole
story of the magnificent heritage at
the disposal OF the people OF Montana
At the present time, and from which
bene fits will be derived by those who
are citizens of the Treasure state for
generations to come.
The state land Office report an

over $3.50, 600 to the state treasury
during the past fiscal year, that sum
being the largest amount of receipts
since the establishment of the state
land Office. This revenue represented

Perpetual Youth.

Every woman desires to retain as
long as may be her youthfulness of
face, form and movement, yet the
true secret of such enduring youth is
by no means universally recognized.
A woman is happy just in proportion
as she is content. The sun has way
of changing the spots upon which it
shines. Especially is this true of our
land, where one is up today and down
tomorrow, and vice versa. The wisest
woman is she who trusts In a tomor.

Distrpst deserves to be classed among
the contagious diseases. You may do
your best not to express 1t either by
word or deed, but il 1t is your heart,
your nejghbor is likely to catch It.
The people who lack confidence In
themselves are usually accepted at
their own estimate. ~ can't do any
thing worth while'' is the voice that
speaks ip the heart. "He cart do
anything worth while," is the sum-
ming-up of the popular verdict, rs far
as the doubter is concerned.
We need confidence in ourselves If
we are to accomplish anything. We
need confidence in others If we would
help them. IT takes Q wonderfully
perseyeripg student to stick to his
work in school when his teacher has
decided that be Is Ounce. The great
est obstacle in the way Of many is the
opinion Of their friends and relatives
that they can never amount to much.
1t is possible, of course, to overdo
this sort Of confidence. Applied to
ourselves 1t may become conceit, and
to others, credulops folly. Vet 1t Is
better to err on the side Of believing
too much than tao little. Nothing fine
or beautiful ever grew from doubt.
Faith In God and ourselves is the con-
/ dition Of usefulness, while helpfulness
depends on faith IN God and one an
other.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Immediately following the late
election, was an item telling of the
political degradation that followed
the passing Of the woman suferage
amendment in Colorado. In the
course of his TRADE the writer stated
that he was proud to be the first
to raise his voice against woman
suffrage. Just recently we noticed
that this same brave editor wishes
to sell his newspaper plant because
impaired health forces him to seek
a lower altitude. 1t is not surprising
that an invalid in fit of despond-
ency should see dangerous things
arise because of the part women
are playing in politics. but the
lamentabIe thing is that editors
who are enjoying the blessings Of
health should copy such trash or
rehash it, adding to that which in
the first place was only a night
mare caused by the morning light.
Following is a fair sample of this
trash and also of another editors
idea of bravery:
.'The suffrage amendment y simply
debauching the women OF Colorado.
The ambition for public Office is max
ing them ugly and unwomsnly to a
degree. We want no more women
officials. OF course we cAnnot hope to
repeal the suffrage amendment. but we
must stop putting women into office.
Already Colorado women are getting
the political face, the most ugly
countenance on earth. TO any one
who has seen the disgraceful scenes At
the polls and who remembers that
women have bean arrested for being
repeaters, the suffrage amendment Ii
nothing short of . calamity, but the
woman ofiice holder is blight and q
curse. This Is the sentiment Of nine
tenths Of the men," This is the decla-
ration Of q prominent leader In Colo
rado state politics and we are glad to
zee that he is brRye enough to come
out In this way and show the big tooth.
This politician seems to be very
much worried about the beauty OF
of our women, but we wonder if
he is not more anxious about his
future success in politics. It may
be that his reputation is such that
he could not hope for decent
woman to cast her ballot for him,
and the fact has dawned upon him
that decent women are voting
Colorado women have been slow to
embrace the opportunities offered
them by the suffrage amendment,
and are just beginning to realize
that it is not only their privilege
but their duty to take an active
part in politics, OF course, some
women have been exercising this
privilege ever since the amendment
went into effect, and that some
should abuse the privilege is to be
expected, but has the violation OF
our election laws by women beer
any comparison to the violation ol
the same laws by menf The fact is
the women of Colorado are going
to lift us out of the political mire
through which we have beer
wandering for many years, and
when this is accomplished some
leading Colorado politicians will be
laid ON the shelf. In other words
the time is speedily coming wher
an office-seeker will at least have
to be halfway decent if he hope!
to be successful. That the vote!
cast by pure. honest women arr
beginning to count in our politica
life is proven by the squirmmini

New York, Dec. 19.-Bishop Chas:
C. McCabe, Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, died at $50 this morning.
His death was due to apploplexy with
which the Bishop was stricken several
days ago while passing through this
city on his way to Philsdelphia. He
was born In Ohio In 1885, and served
in the Civil War as chaplain. He was
captured in the battle of Winchester
and spent four months in Libby prison.
The title of Chaplain McCabe clung to
him until he was made Bishop In
1896.
