That the LAUTER- HUMANE creates a revolution
unsteady in every home into which it may go has been
shown time and again. Purchasers not only locally but
in all parts of the country inform us that where formerly
their piano was silent and music was seldom heard IN
their homes. they now appreciate, and have at command,
the best in music. With this wonderful instrument any
one can become a player. although he may not know
one chord from another.
Every number on the program is played upon the
LAUTER HUMANE with the aid of music-roll and
treadles: this includes the accompaniment to Miss
Buchanan's songs
No other instrument of its class combines so many
artistic advantages as does this wonderful instrument of
ours. Your present piano will be taken in part payment.

paratory to shipping them east Oh

Upon entering the yards Thurs

Mr.. Williams decided to purchase

In what manner the horses made

as we'll, as the gate locks were all
found to be secure, not only before
but after the horses were missing.
Mr.. Williams entertains but lit

horses, but, however, he offers a
reward cf $4,000 for their re-
turn, and that may tend to dis
close some facts concerning their

EDWARD
DONLAN
Received Nomination on
Rep. Ticket for Gov
ernor in Close Contest

As result Of the Republican
State Convention held st Helena
Oh September II, Hon. Edward
Donlan, of Missoula, was NOM
mated for Governor. Though the
contest was close one. and five
ballots were necessary to deterilline
the party's choice, however, in the
nomination of Edward Donlin it
is evident that the delegates were
intent OH giving the voters Of the
state not man who has made his
way in private and public life BY
talking and making promises, bit
one who has done things and is
going to continue to do them. In
accepting the nomination Mr.. Don
lin made the shortest speech Of
acceptance Of a gubernatorial NOM
ination on record in Montana, but
it was right to the point. He
thanked the convention, said he
would make the race on his private
and public record, and that he
would give the state business
administration. That is platform
enough for any man and one that
any man can understand.
Ed Donlan need have no fear Of
any honest criticism Of his record,
and especially by the great body
Of the people Of Montana. Him
self knowing what hard work is,
coming to the state when barely
past his majority without friends
and little money, whatever he may
have to-day is th. result Of his Owl
effort, supplements by clean living,
honest dealing and always full
appreciation of the aphorism .'liye
and let liye' As a wage Garner he
has worked faithfully, as an EN-
ployer he has always treated his
employees justly, and when the
ladoring men examiue his record
tney will find it, whether it be as
a member of the legislature or as
an individual, one that is above
criticism.
As to his ability to give this
state a business administration,
Ed Donlan's history III Montana
gives the answer. In the com
munity where he has spent the
best years Of his life the reputation
Of no man for honesty is higher:
his ability to grasp the minutest
details Of a business venture, and
quickly decide of its feasibility OF
desirability, is proverbial, and the
breadth Of his vision is no less in
evidence. The republican party
III Montana has the reputation OF
nominating aid electing men who
"do things.'' y The selection OF
Ed Donlan as the gubernatorial
candidate is but another illustration
that it intends tc live up to it.

RIGHTS OF RAIL WAYS

The most cheerful reading the rail-
way managers have had for several
years has been the decision of the
supreme court in the Minnesota North
Carolina and Great Western rate
cases. In this decision the court has
in effect declared that the federal courts
can and will interfere TO save the
roads from the effects of injudicious
state legislation; and that while the
public may demand efficient service
and equality between shippers and
communities, the roads are private
property and the owners possess the
right of management. The following
quotations will be of interest here:
1T must be remembered that the
railroads are the private property
of their owners. And that cover
eleven thousand millions of dollars
are invested in railroad property.
owned by many thousands Of people,
who are scattered over the wholecoun-
try from ocean to ocean and they are
entitled to equal protection from the
laws and from the courts with the
owners of all other kinds of property

jurisdiction, federal and state, should
at all times be open to them, as to
Others, for the purpose of protecting
their property and their legal rights. "

THE PRESIDENT FOLLOWS

Below we give the tariff plank
adopted by the Republican conven-
ton down at Des Moines. 1t quotes
from the national platform Of 1904
and the Ohio platform of this year,
declaring in favor of the principle OF
protection in the strongest terms. II
may be worthy of remark that Just one
week to day after this declaration
was made by Iowa Republicans in
convention assembled, the President
in message to Congress did for the
first time advise a revision of the
tariff, by the next congress. Here is
the Iowa plank on the tariff:
We declare unequiyocally for pro-
lection as the cardinal principle of the
republican party and we affirm our
unaltered purpose to maintain it,
Events have confirmed the wisdom of
the makers of the national platform of
1904, wherein the party pledged read
iustment of rates of duty only when
conditions so changed that the public
interests demand their alteration. In
accordance with this declaration Of
four years ago the republican party
of Iowa indorses the declaration ofthe
Ohio republican platform OF this year
in behalf OF revision of the tariff by a
special session OF the next congress
insuring the maintenance of the true
principle of protection by imposing
such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production at
home and abroad, together with a
reasonable profit, to the end that
without excessive duties American
manufacturers, farmers, producers
and wage earners may have adequate
protection.
