CENSUS REPORT FOR
STATE OF MONTANA
MONTANA HAS POPULATION OF 376,0s3 VALLEY COUNTY
SHOWS INCREASE OF s,275 IN PAST TEN YEARS.

According to the census report
M ontana has a population Of 376 ,053,
an increase of 1872, ,742 or 54.5 per cent.
Ten years ago the population Of Mon
tana was PAS, ,329, so that the state is
credited with a gain of 54.5 per cent
In the last ten years as against a gain
Of 7O.3 per cent between 1890 and 1900.
In percentage figures the growth of
Montana has been less rapid in the
last decade than it was in the.decade
prior to the last one-that is if the
census figures are to be trusted.
Montanans here are disappointed
over the figures, saying there are at
least 900, 900 people in the state. The
state ranks 4lst among the states in
population, having advanced from
44th place, where it was in 1900. The

For The Public Good

One hears a great deal about the
power of the press, but the fact is
that no newspaper has very much
real power over men or events in
these days unless it is known to be
standing sanely and steadfastly for
the welfare OF the whole community
and nation. The day of party organs
is past. Sensational papers appeal.
ing to popular passions can not move
thoughtful men-the men who make
history. The only kind of newspap-
er that really has tremendous power
in these days is the independent, re-
liable. disinterested journal Of wide
circulation, whose columns are
known to stand always for the gen
eral good-for public honesty and a
square deal, whatever happens. An
excellent example Of this sort of
journalism is The Chicago Record
Herald. 1t has the enormous circu-
lation that deservedly goes with the
printing of all the news, but its pow
er lies in the wise, conservative, in-
dependent editorial policy, which is
shaped with one sole end in view
the public good. It's news and critic
al columns show the same spirit. 1t
is an ideal paper for the home.

| idence under the homestead law.

| dence of the first entryman and pri-

OH you MOTORMENI

If there is any desire upon the part
of fast riders to enjoy a hair-raising,
blood thrilling ride with throttle wide
open just let them step on board one
of those cars coming down town morn
ings with some of these daredevil
motormen. and just witness how wild
valued at S3295 for the month, as
pecially when 'there are two or three
cars of the same line punched to-
gether, and none in sight for another
half hour, and either their patience
will be exhausted or a petition signed
to the council to have the reckless
driving cut down. Cars have actually
been known to come from Eighth to
Second street in an hour and a half,
and this is what might be called fierce.
