NO BANQUET FOR
RHEUMATIC HERO
Admiral Evans Spends Evening
in Hotel Room While
Others Feast

Rear Admiral Evans passed last
evening quietly in his apartments at
the St Francis hotel. surrounded by the
members of his family.
In the afternoon he received a num-
Der of personal friends and chatted
cheerily with them over a cigar. He
has not taken TO bed. but remains in
his room sitting on large lounging
chair, with his rheumatic legs COM
fortably resting on his couch.
DR.. McDennold, the admiraPs physi-
clan, announced. that his distinguished
patient was resting quietly and was
much improved since his arrival in this
city. The ovation the hero has re-
ceived has put a new energy into his
spirit No one appreciates more keenly
than Mrs. Evans the tonic like effect
of excitement and activity on the
health of the admiral
Yesterday morning his physician
waited on the admiral and advised that.
owing to his present infirnity, it would
be wiser not to participate in the
parade
When Mrs. Evans heard that such a
program was contemplated she ex-
claimed:
mol DO not keep the admiral from
the parade. know best what will be
Tor his Denef1t- The excitement and
the enthusiasm OF the crowds will act
with electric force on his weakened
physical forces. He must move with
the parade. He wants to and it will
do him good"
The hundreds OF thousands that
cheered when the doughty old warrior
doffed his bat to them yesterday knew
that Mrs. Evans suggestion had car
ried the day. Nor was he mistaken in
her belief that the parade was the best
tonic in the world for her husband
The admiral. in spite of his enforced
confinement TO his room, was In buoy
ant spirits and full of good cheer last
night.
Letters OF congratulation are pouring z
IN to the admiral from all sides, but no
communication has given him greater
delight than a postal card written By a
little girl. who refused to state who she
was. 1t read:
Dear Admiral Evans: I like YOU
very much I saw you come into the
st. Francis hotel yesterday on crutches.
and / think that you are a great man.

Is proud that Admiral Evans on leav-
ing the hotel yesterday to participate
in the parade stopped before entering
his automobile to say TO her:
You're a nice little girl. But why
have you a white Teddy bear?'
The little girl did not know what to
reply to the admirals gentle inquiry.
but she held it up TO him and the old
warrior patted the head OF the toy and
made her very happy.

PERSONAL MAGNETISM.

The telegraphic reports Mr.. Taft'-
campaign tour during the past week
sustain his reputation as a good
mixer. His attractive personality and
good nature are increasing his popuI-
ari,y In every part Of the country in
which he has made speeches during
the campaign, no instance of unpleas-
antness having been reported.
They are telling a story at the re-
publican national headquarters abou.
a colored man down south who said
he liked Mr.. Taft because Of his ''pus-
sonal magnitude.' This commentator
was right in sentiment even it h
didn't happen to choose the right
word. The candidates. ''pussonal
maSnitude' is IA thing that impresses
itself.
In the happy art of making friends

with whom he came in contact than
William II. Taft. DR.. Lyman Abbott
wrote of him:
"'It is this intensely human quality
In Mr.. Taft that gives him his popular
sobriquet Of Bin Taft. He likes
men and he likes all sorts OF men ex
cept those that are dishonest or
disloyal. He was the most popular
governor the PHILIPPINES ever had.
This was not wholly because he was
absolutely just, was loyal to their
interests, urged the earliest possible
gu substitution Of civil law for military
law and offered an invincible Opposi'
ton to all schemes Of exploiting the
islands for the benefit Of ~unscrupulous
American pioneers. He was the per.

lieved in them, defended them, be-

Young Roosevelt's Example.

Yes, the United States of America

here is Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son

bottom of the ladder, in his determiu-
alton to learn the industry and bust
ness Of carpet making.
1t is Il fine example and should have
II fine and salu,ary influence upon a
number OF elements in our national

agitator who breaches discomfort and

and foolish parents OF wealth or com.
peteuce who finch from the duty OF
putting their sons and daughters at

rob them OF mans best gift from God
and best inheritance from civiliza-

For yet another, those youths OF

allowed the foolish notion to enter

is not dignifed, or that enduring sue
cess can be had on any other terms
than hard work and plenty OF it.

Republican County Ticket.
VOTING FoR:MoRE TAXES.

Among the questions that will be
submitted to Montana voters at the
coming election is a proposition that
affects the taxpayers. In accorda nce
with an act passed by the tenth legis-
lative assembly, the question Of in
creasing the state tax levy will be
submitted to popular vote.
The state tax levy heretofore has
been - mile on each dollar of as
sessed valuation, sthat being the limit
permitted by theiconstitution until the
total state assessment shall amount to
$500, OOO, 900, when the tax levy must
not exceed li:mills on each dollar Of
valuation. This provision was made
by the constitutional convention Of
1889, ratified by Montana voters at an
election held October | Of that year.
There has been a slow but steady
increase in Montana's a>sessable
wealth in recent years, the total at
the present time amounting to about
1925 900, 900. When this total shall
uUNc luCtcuseu W TooVsUVo,UUU, tuc
Montana taxpayer, in accordan
with existing constitutional provision,
will be subject to a maximum levy of
II mills for state purposes, but 1t is
proposed to increase the limit under
those conditions'tois3 mills on each
dollar of valuation. The proposed
amendment Ito. the constitution is to
this effect:
The rate of taxation of real and
personal property for state purposes,
In any one year, shall never exceed 3
mills on e%achldollar. of valuation, and
whenever the:taxable!property in this
state shall amount to $500, 200, 900, the
rate shall not exceed ,. mills on each
dollar of valuation, and whenever the
taxable property in this state shall
amount to $500, 600, 900, the ate shall
never exceed 2:millsson each dollar Of
valuation, unless.ithel proposition to
increase such rate, specifying the rate
proposed and the time during which
the rate shall he, levied, shall have
been su omitted ito 1.-THE people at the
general election and shall have re-
ceived a majority of!all the votes cast
for and against 1t at such election
In view of the fact that the state tax
levy has neutrality-suspicious. rate per-
mitted by the constitution, it is prob.
able that the adoption of this pro-
posed amendmeut.will be followed by
an increase in the tan levy to ) mills
the increase to remain in effect until
the total assessment shall amount to
$500, 600, 900. OThat would mean u 70
per cent increase in the present rate,
and an increase ofil00 per cent. over
the MISUNDERSTANDING provided
for a state assessment that may exceed
$500, 600, 900.
The legislativesassembly that pro.
vided for the submission of this pro.
posed constitutional amendment as
sumed that the state needed more rev.
enue, and favored this plan of secur'
ing larger contributions to the public
treasury. At the same session, how
ever, these Montana law makers re
fused to permit the taxpayers to vote
upon q proposition which contemplate
ed additional income to the state from
another source.
1t was proposed to submit to Mon
tsua voters q constitutional amend
ment providing that every kind OF
property in the state shall be assessed
in proportion to its value, and become
