PASSING EVENTS

Manifestly. as reflecting local pubic
sentiment. the booster banquet was
the event of the week which trans
cended all else in Importance. This
gathering was the most representative
that has assembled in Missoula In re-
cent years. Whatever of factionalisn
there may have been in this city In
years past, there was none Of IL at
the banquet of Tuesday night. There
was but one sentiment there-the good
of M;ssoula 1t was q good sign
There was abundant evidence at the
BANQUET, too. that there is growing
sentiment in favor OF municipal i'm
rroycment along sound lines. We have
had a good deal of spasmodic effort
in the way OF Improvement; the trout
be has been in the utter lack of sys-
tenn. III the movement which was in
augurated Tuesday night gains the
momentum which II viii acquire II It's
promoters are In earnest. there will be
a steady, substantial gain In the direc-
ton or city beautiful. Those who
have studied this problem most care
fuzzy know that the end sought can
not be gained in short time: u must
b. the work Of years, but II every bit
that IN done IL made part of a sys-
tematlc whole. there viii be great
showing made In n few seasons. The
main thing is to get every force IN
the city lined up for the work: that Is
the only way to accomplish anything.
we have said that g. good start was
made Tuesday night; II would be un-
fortunate IL that start were all there
were to the movement II must be
maintained and the pace must be
auickened. We were ali agreed Tues
day night as to what is needed: what
we have to do is to settle down To
earnest effort toward the attainment
of the admitted necessity.

PARKS AND pAvEMENTs-The

oft emphasized suggestion regarding
an improved and extended park sys-
TEN IN Misspula struck a popular
chord. The crowd was clearly in sym
rathy with the suggestion only the
vaguest outline of this work was sug-
g.stci, but there was Il foundation laid
for the work in this direction that can
be done right away. During the fall
and winter months Il plan might he
formulated that would be ready for
execution In the early spring; there
are already some tracts of land avail
able for park work. These might be
taken up and considered and a plan
adopted that would prevent any delay
when the grass begins tn get green.
There are streets in the city. also.
whose residents might get ready DUR
ing the winter for parking in the early
spring and thus gain IA season. We
believe that all that is needed is for
somebody To take the lead; neighbor-
hood clubs are effective organizations
in many cities: they might do good
work in Missoula. But the time to get
this work organized Ia in the winter:
then IL can be started in the spring.
But the work must be done IL Missouia
Is to be entitled much longer To the
envied title. Garden city"

THE uNlveRsITY-f we were te

THE UNlvERsiTY-If we were to
select any one of the many points that
were raised at the banquet as illus
tratiye of the possibilities OF booster
work in Missoula, We would unhesi-
tatingiy declare for the suggestion
that Missoula does not take enough
personal interest in the state uniyer-
sity. and that she should concern her
self a great deal more about the de-
tails Of the work OF the splendid insti-
tuition across the river. For two rea-
sons would this be our selection.
First, this has been IA hobby of ours
for a long time: IL you will consult
the files OF The Missoulian you will
find that il has been urged in this
newspaper for a long time that Mis-
soula people should interest themselves
to a greater extent in the work of
the university. Second. the university
is Missoula's best asset: IL has brought
and il is bringing To the city. men of
culture and refinement and young peo-
pie whose future depends largely upon
the four years that they spend i'm Mis-
soula These are reasons enough for
our belief that direct interest in the
university Is the first duty Of Missoui@
the one thing that can be done and
should be done at once Is 10 awaken
and maintain that interest. II re-
quires the creation Of no improvement
district 10 start up an acquaintance
with the university. II Is not neces-
sary TO wait for any legal preliminaries
or any formal routine. The univer-
sity is here and the people of Mis-
sou,a are here. and the one needs the
other Get interested In the unive--
sIty: visit the institution: get ae-
quainted with il: learn what is beins
done there. You viii be surprised to
find what good thing yen have been
overlooking. And il the booster ban
quet accomplished no more than the
awakening of this interest. it was
worth while.
The Daily Missoulian., 1909-10-10

class in Missoula will be a lasting
credit. There should be no haiting.
II is so easy to get rid OF the "seere-
taries" that IL is wonder that there
is the least hesitancy. Drive them
out. and when they are gone take up
something else.
The Daily Missoulian., 1909-10-10

There's coal to buy and the price is
high; there's wood to go into the shed.
There are coats and shoes for winter
use, and the children must be fed.
There's the tax-bill due and the house
rent. too: and the water rent as well.
When III. bills come in. II is no sin. IL
the old man swears spell.

HOME FoLks-such a gath

E'o"G V06No~Sus!i SdtHeriHS
as the booster banquet cannot fail III
unite more closely the interests of the
city. II was friendly meeting Of
home folks for the discussion of home
matters. What was said there was
for home consumption and for home
bereft. The free interchange of ideas
a ID the discovery that there are lots
of people who think just as you do.
and who have been thinking that way
fer long time without yo Ir know
Ing anything about 1t, will certainly
tend to create a fellow feeling in tn.;.
cty. and with that will come desire
- do something for your neighbor wno
Is working for the same things you
arr. and who will help you II you will
help him. That is the first and most
important step toward bringing about
united stand In favor of the patron
age of home industry and the encour-
agement of home institutions. The
more of that sort of spirit we have,
the better off we are and the better
our city will become, Our interests are
identical In a general way; we can
work together Il good deal more effec-
lively than we can work individually
You trade with me and I will trade
with you. Each of us can boost the
other fellows game without hurting

MANAGER JACKSON TO
GET MORE THEATERs.
Friend Says He VIII Have a Half
Dozen More Within Year or SO.

Smiths theater is the fifth but not
the last theater Ira w. Jackson is 60
ing to take under his wing, says the
Bridgeport Farmer.
A man who is close to him says that
Mr.. Jackson will have five more thea
tiers within another year or so, Man
ager Jackson has been operating a
chain of theaters for several years in
small cities, but of late lie has got
rid of his smaller houses and devoted
his attention to play houses in cities
o. the first class At New London,
where he has conducted the Lyceum
for ten years. his bookings have al
ways been the best attractions on the
road and included many productions
OF the better class which were not Sc
cured by any other manager in Con-
necticut.
AS Smiths theater is the largest
playhouse in New England outside of
Boston, 1t viii be the most important
point in the Jackson chatin, and the
manager will make his home and head
quarters there in the future. He will
take charge of the theater next Mon
day.
The change means a promotion for
A. F. Culver, who has been the bust
ness manager Of the theater for sew
eral years, and who has practically
been in charge for the past year. I'm
der Mr.. Jackson he becomes resident
manager and Mr.. Smith stated that
one of the considerations In the deal
was that Mr.. Culver should be re-
tained as manager.
The transfer was made by Mr.. Smith
sub-leasing to Manager Jackson the
theater, which is owned by the P. T.
Barnum estate. The lease has three
years and seven months to run, with
the privilege of renewal
Ira W. Jackson, the new proprietor
Of the theater, is not unknown to the
local public, as several attractions
which have appeared here have been
under his management.

LINcoLN's NORWICH VISIT
Recalled by Rev. George II. Ewing at
First Church.

At the First Congregational church
Sunday morning Rev. George H. Ewing
took as his topic Abraham Lincoln.
Christian President, the text being
Sam. 10: 1924. In part Rev. Mr..
Ewing said: Our own poet. Edmond
Clarence Stedman, In his sonnet on the
assassination called Lincoln the whit
est soul ever knew" and the senti
ment I believe fnds It's echo In every
true heart. Abraham Lincoln was
spoken OF as the ambitious. the brave
and the Christian. Lincoln had the
courage Of his convictions.
A review of the views OF lincoln
with respect to the complex problems
that confronted the state Just previous
to and during the Civil war were very
interesting. The consideration Of Lin
coins Christianity was touched upon
his character being more than usually
upright and Honest Abe Is a title that
Justly clings to him still. An illustra-
ton Of his humility is afforded In a
trip through Connecticut. during which
he visited the city Of Norwich, In 1860.
Rev. John P. CULVER declared to him
that he thought his the most remark
able speech he had ever heard, to
which the president replied with evil
dent sincerity: That is most extra
ordinary"

sang the Battle Hymn Of the Repuhlic
