w. Il. HARMON.

In the past four years the public
schools of Montana have progressed
more rapidly than in any like period
In their history, and today they occupy
a higher place In the educational world
than they have ever In the past. To
the efficient and painstaking work Of
w. p. Harmon, state superintendent
OF public instruction, Is the credit of
this advance ascribed. A thoroughly
experienced man in public school
work, with nineteen years experience
in the n schools Of the state
when he took once; Mr.. Harmon as
sumed the responsible position know
ing wherein the schools were lacking
and what was needed to bring them
up to the point where they would do
the best work.
The four years have not only dem
onsl' ted his ability, but they have
ais. guaranteed his renomin .tion at
the last Republican state convention.
Though a Republican Mr.. Harmon is
not a politician and nothing Of parti-
sanship has entered into his work for
the schools. He shaa worked for rho
schools and with the teachers and the
school authorities. He has felt that
his particular province and his best
work could be done in behalf Of the
common schools and these lave had
his almost undivided attention.
Where there was little II any sys-
tenn in the public school work In Mon
tana Mr.. Harmon has brought about q
uniformity which is bearing fruit and
which to be fully completed needs his
guiding hand. That what he has done
for the schools Of the state is appre-
ciated, there Is abundant evidence.
That he will be given the opportunity
to complete in the coming four years
what he has so auspiciously begun, the
good sense Of the people Of Montana
is q guarantee.

AN INJUNCTION AGAINST WORK

AN INJUNCTION AGAINST WORK.
Free trade means more competition
for the workingman, by permitting the
labor of other countries to compete
with the nan who works here.
Isn't there enough competition for
work now?
At the present time there are count
less thousands Of articles barred out
OF the United States markets, for the
q that the import. duty on them
is s 70 high that they cannot enter and.
compete with the goods made In this
country.
The result is our workmen are pro-
tected.
Remove the that tarin and there
will follow a flood OF foreign made
goods in competition with the Ameri-
can manufactured articles. II. goods
made abroad, by cheap labor are
brought into this country, to sell at
q price lower than it is possible to
manufacture here, at the present high
standard Of wages, one OF two things
must happen.
Either the factories in this country
that produce the goods must 60 out Of
business or the American workman
must accept a lower wage scale in
order to hold his job.
That such is the fact, must be appar-
ent to any reasonable man.
Low prices and high wages do not
go together, any more than high prices.
and low wages do. A high standard
of wages implies as higher standard
OF living, a higher standard OF costs
and a higher price for the manu-
featured article, for it is a self-eyiden.

also must the cost of the articles man.
ufactured. 1t is not possible that,
wages may increase and the cost Of
production remain the same, for the
cost is increased in exact proportions to
the increase In salaries.
Our laborers want constantly more
and more money, and this they are en-.
titled to. In order to obtain It, the
protective tariff was designed, and
simultaneous with its operation wages
began to advance. They receded only

campaign that is SO rapidly drawing
to n close. We have threshed over
again questions that have been argued
by men since men have existed-since
government has been founded.
Problems we are bordering over
puzzled the people of ancient
times.
In other forms of government, de-
cfsions Of important questions IS
passed up to q few men-usually to.
those who come from some particular
strain Of humanity, and who hold their
positions for life.
Under our form, the people them
selves pass on all questions OF GOV
eminent, and thus, in the elections
that are held, each man who goes to
the polls is recording his individual
opinion. When the ballots are count
ed, and the result is made known, we
have the opinion Of the majority of
the voters, on this or that question,
and that decision governs us for a
term of years. If it is wrong, we are
safe in the knowledge that within a
few years time we may sweep out of
office the men who brought about that
which was not right, and change the
existing order. 84
For in the larger way Of looking at
A1.o -, o%%~r vi ~ Is a hoff1n ne @fHcIYnc
not of men. If the majority vote for
a certain group Of men, they are vot-
ing, in the broader sense, for the prin-
ciples those men represent, not for
the men themselves.
So long as things progress smoothly,
we are satisfed-if there is a jar in
the governmental machinery-if for a
moment the speed is decreased, or the
lights of prosperity burn a bit DINNER,
then we blame the existing order, and
there is a cry for a change. The mi:
nority, always seeking for control,
and battling for mastery, seizes upon
any pretext, however weak, Gfanatical
or chimerical, to gain Roadway, but
always, in order to accomplish that
which they desire, they must appeal
to the people.
So it is that one week from today
we will all of us, be called upon tc
go to the polls and cast our ballots
not for this man or that man, not fol-
this party or the other, but for Ger
tain principles that make for a great
Ter government, a greater America, q
richer people, enlarged prosperity
more trade and the like.
If we believe in the existing order
of things, that has carried our flag
to the isles of the seas, from Porto
Rico to the Philippines, from Panama
Ito the frozen north, we shall cast oul
ballots one way, and if we believe il
reversing this order, we shall vote an
other way.
We may talk, and argue and reason
and exhort, but the fact of the mat
tier remains, after all has been said
that the people rule, not the fruits
the corporations and %syndicates o
politicians, as will be demonstrated
just one week from today.

TWELVE YEARS G

How many people had bathrooms in
their houses twelve years ago? How
many burned electric lights, had a tel
ephone, owned a furnace, owned the
house they lived in?
How many rented a cherries house,
without bath, perhaps with water on
the outside, not the inside, no sewer
connection, burned smoky kerosene
lamps, had no telephone, and heated
with old style stoves?
Progress from that time to this,
has been. by leaps and by bounds.
Twelve years ago you bought meat
not knowing its condition prior to kill
ing, you bought butter and lard that
brought sickness into your home, you
bought Of the grocery things that
everybody ahead Of You had paved
over and handled.
Now you buy milk that has been in
spected, meat that must pass the scru-
tiny Of q government Official, butter
and lard that must be In perfect CON
dition, or be condemned, and pre-
serves, and canned goods, and bottled
goods, and cookies, and bread and
goodness only knows what, in the
original package, which no hand but
yours touches, for you break the seal.
Everything is clean and perfect and
sanitary.
And did you ever stop to reflect why
this is so?
Did It ever occur to you that these
Things r done as a matter Of neces-
sity-not OF choice. These inspections
have been brought about, many OF
them by government investigation,
and laws have been passed making it
necessary.
And these necessary pure food re-
quirements, were all passed by Re
publicans.
Did you ever think OF that before?
If you will reflect a moment, 1t will
occur to you that there is less sick
ness today than there was twelve
years ago. Do you you know why?
Well tell you:
The articles Of food you buy today
are a better guarantee of cleanliness
than vas the case twelve years ago
and the Republicans have made it so.
