marriage Of Miss Morgan. Miss
Reid's marriage happened to be one
of the international alliances, which
press, public and public speakers
have so strongly condemned. The
was simply the wedding of, an
American girl and an American youth.
It is too bad that every time an
American girl lowers herself to we'd
some foreigner the press of the coun-
try devotes columns to the affair,
while when q girl OF equal promi-
nence marries a plain citizen it is
practically ignored. As between Miss
Reid and her choice and Miss Morgan
and her choice the American people
will think more of the girl who
showed the good Judgment to take a
free born American citizen for a hus-
band. The fact that he is an Ameri-
can citizen gives him a title any for
eign prince or titled a%ristocrat might
well be proud to possess.

ALICE AND THE "MERRY WIDOW.
Regulations and rules do not seem
to have any more effect on Mrs. Mich
olas Longworth, daughter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, than they do on her
illustrious father. During the Chicago
convention, according to the dis
patches, Mrs. Longworth sat in the
convention hall wearing q Merry
Widow hat, and though requested by
her husband and by an usher to re.
move it, she positively refused.
While the dispatch has the ring OF
the penny a liner" at the same time
if it is true, think what an awful pre-
cedent has been established. The
daughter of the president, the once
much touted princess Alice" has
positively refused to remove a Merry
Widow" hat, wen though it did OBJ.
scure the view of people behind her.
What If the women of the country
should follow the example set by
Mrs. L~ongworth?
Men, poor creatures, would of nec
essity have to abandon all effort to
see at public gatherings, for with q
Merry Widow hat in front It Is i'm.
possible to see anything.

Jesse James," q sensational melo.
drama, is being presented u Montana
communities by a company of thes-
plans, who perform in q large circus
tent. The advance man for the show
was in Billings yesterday, but as his
show was booked to perform here on
the same day as a wild west show. he
decided to cancel the date.
This is the play against which so
many Montana newspapers have been
protesting. claiming that the produc-
ton Of "Jesse James" should be sup
pressed on the ground that it incul-
Gates in the minds Of the young Grim
inal ideas. It is probably q good
thing for Billings and the country adj
jacent that the show has decided not
to come here.
Such plays as the Games Boys In
Virginia." Jesse James," "The Out
law" and other productions which
make heroes of criminals and hold up
the lives Of outlaws In an attractive
manner are in the same class as the
novels Diamond Dick" Mick Car
ter" "Old sleuth," etc, to which can
be traced many Of the worst criminal
careers.
An instance of the effect such plays
and novels haveson.tIthe minds OF the
young occurred only a few weeks ago
Of Great Falls. where four young boys
held up a Great Northern train and
killed a passenger, for which they are
now facing a murder charge. Not n
Of these boys was over II years old,

such plays are not prohibited by the
laws Of the nation. states and cities.
They have anything but . healthful
influence on the communities they
