Love For the Beautiful.

Let us learn to love and appreciate
the beauty which We e around us
every day. There are beautiful things
everywhere. Some Of us see them:
some do not. 1t all depends on our.
education. A beautiful flower may
grow by the wayside. One person may
pass 1t by and not ever see 1t, or he
may trample 1t under foot and call 1t
an ugly weed. Another may see the
same flower and as he looks upon 1t
marvel at It's beauty and recognize the
handiwork of God. One Of these per
Sons has no love for the beautiful in
his soul-and the other has-that is the
difference. Some people will tell you
that 1t is not practical to care for
beautiful things, but It really is prac-
teal. because 1t helps to make life
sweeter and better. You will find 1t
well worth c%ultivating, this love for
the beautiful, and when you once have
1t in your hearts you win never be
willing to part with it.-Maxwell's Tai.

said Mr.. Lindsay, 'is sufficient to

one OF the delegates from this state
to the Chicago convention, is in the
city attending the state convention OF
the Montana Federation Of Labor and
incidentally arranging for the organi-
cation OF a branch Of his party in this

While here Mr.. Dallas will probably

chairman for this county and leave

the Hearst organization t. him.
We do not expect to win the com
ing election said Mr.. Dallas, in talk.
ing to q representative Of The Gazette,
"but our vote in the United States will
be q large one and the start we secure
in this national campaign will be such
as to make us a most important fac
tor in the presidential election four
years hence.
I'm 1912 i am confident that the In
dependence party will name the next
president of the United States. It is
the party Of the people. Its labor pol
icies and its platform in every respect
were designed for the common folks.
Before the campaign is much far.

Mr.. Dallas is a printer by occupa-
ton and his home is ID Butte. He was
formerly an enthusiastic Democrat,
but he declares thatsthe Democratic
party has nothing to offer the working
man, but promises and SO he became
a follower Of Hearst.

Opposition

Washington, D. c., Dec. 11.-With
enthusiasm seldom witnessed in a
similar organization the National Riv-
ers and Harbors Congress at its con-
Guiding session here today, by unan-
imous vote placed itself on record in
favor of the issuance of government
bonds for the great waterway projects
of the country
BY a resolution, which was one of a
series adopted, it declared for an au-
thorized issue by congress at it's pres
ent session of $500,000,O00 worth of
bonds, the proceeds to be used in the
payment expressly for such river and
iharbor work as may be authorized by
congress, the provision for the issue
to be similar to Panama canal bonds.
Later in the day a committee pre-.
tinted to Vice President Fairbanks
and Speaker Cannon the bond resolu.
tion Mr.. Fairbanks expressed a fav-
able opinion of the proposition, but
Mr.. Cannon merely assured the COM
mittes, that the resolution would be
referred to the proper committee fol-
consideration.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE

Taft will have further conferences
with the committee.
A compromise has been reached, it
is learned further, regarding the tar
iff on white sugar and tobacco asa re-
suit of the conference yesterday be-
tween Taft and the majority members
of the committee.
That the house of representatives
will pass a bill which will thoroughly
revise the present schedules is gen.
orally admitted.
At yesterdays conference Mr.. Taft
did not discuss any particular tariff
schedules, but expressed the desire
to take UP, corporation schedules at
some future conference with the COM
mittee. He also favors any action
on the part of the committee which
would bring before it those manu-
facturers who have expressed their
views publicly on the tariff question,
as well as any person who could
furnish valuable information in con-
ne1ction with the proposed revision.
Chairman Payne said tonight that
Andrew Carnegie is the only witness
who has been subpoened up to this
