Mrs. Carrie A. Nation. militant tenn

ON the blink. Il In delyier an address
at the Harnois theater next Monday
evening. January 81 Mrs Nation

accepted plan of procedure. is Ia speak
here under the auspices Of the
w. G. 7. L. She has been in Butte
and will be in Hamilton oil Tuesday
Of next week.
To. those who know her. Mrs. Nation
is remarkable woman. Her ideas
are a trifle more strenuous than are
common: she has something of the
spirit of the crusader, mingled with
the courage of the reformed pirate of
the poem. the staggering blade who
retired 10 crotehet things Carrie
Nation dares anything and her par
ticular delight is to advance arguments
against the use OF iiuuAr and tobacco
at any and all times. She il n
spirited taiker. using a siam bang sort
of ortatory that leaves no phase Of
the traffic she is attacking without its
marks OF excorlation. The reeountfng
of her personal experiences in xleld-
ing the hatchet against back bar and
saloon mirror always forms an in
teresting portion of her addresses.
The batting of baetanders and news
paper reporters is another pastime of
Mrs. Nation. She is always willing tn
talk for publication. hut invariably
asks the luckless wight Who is assigned
to Interview her If he smokes. There
fore. the average interview with her
consists entirely Of an exposition of
her ideas on nicotine and the de-
generaey That Is concomitant to its
use
There il. however. much In be said
In favor Of Mrs. Nation. True IL is
that she does not follow the con-
ventienal. hut true il also is that she
brings the campaign and the organiza-
ton she represents into the limelisht.
into the public eye. Carrie A. Nation
is the best press agent that the
temperance movement ever had and
she is well worth hearing and seeing.

been none had the four dissatisfied
jurymen not sought the aid of Judge
Landis. This quartet. it is said. was
willing to- fndict the packers in De-

dignant over the increasing price of
meat that they informed Judge Lands
that they thought 1t was time for the
government to begin another inquiry
The report of the four jurors alleged
that enough evidence was submitted to
the 1908 grand jury to warrant true
bills, and that. in spite Of this. there
was a sudden apathy on the part of
those beh..d the prosecution. They
also said that. if the investigation
were rot Immediately renewed, they
would make statement to the pub

the prosecution had been dropped.
