Argus Leader: The last demo-
cratic national platform, adopted
at Denver, condemned the expe-
riment of imperialism as an mex
cusable blunder which has involv-
ed us in enormous expense, and de-
clared in favor of an immediate
declaration of the nations pur-
pose to recognize the independence
of the Philippine Islands as soon as
a stable government can be estab-
lished."
This platform was largely aca-
demic at the time because the low
er house was overwhelmingly re-
publican and the senate was sup
posed to be so strongly republican
that the majority there could not
be wiped out in years. But the
landslide of 1910 has changed this
situation. The democrats will have
a majority of sixty in the next
house and the republicans will
have a majority of only one or two
in the senate. Hence the demo-
Gratis will be given a chance to
make good on this plank, for there
are enough republican ''anti-im-
perialists'' in the senate to enable
the democrats to get through that
body any Philippine measure
which can pass the house.
Japan has already walked up.
Japan wants the Philippines and
has wanted them for years. Jap.
anese statesmen see in the demo
cratic pledge and in forthcoming
democratic ascendency a chance to
buy the Philippines from the Uni
ted States. Many times Japar
has thrown out suggestive hints
that if Uncle Sam would sell {
buyer could be found. The demo
Gratis would hardly favor turning
the islands adrift, to permit tn.
natives to cut the throats of thu
foreigners who live there, and t.
destroy the millions of dollars
worth of property which has beer
created since the Spanish-Ameri
can war. To abandon the island.

How many of us poor mortals
are thankful for what we are and
for what we have got? Money
doesn't always bring happiness
neither does beauty or good health.
We may be on the top wave of
prosperity, have all the good
things that money will buy, such
as food, raiment and diamonds.
We may be the popular idol OF
this great American republic and
everybody asking us to be candi-
date for President in 1912. We
might have everything desirable
under the sun and yet be a most
miserable man. Why? The secret
of happiness is true contentment,
a clear conscience and freedom
from physical and mental pain.
Its not all of life to live, nor all of
death to die. In other words, we
should eat to live and not live to
eat. None of US are in a condition
so deplorable but what it might be
worse. While things have not
come our way as we planned, the
star of hope beckons US on. The
poet said it is glorious even to fail
after repeated trials to win. The
question that there is more pleas
ure in pursuit then possession, has
been debated for centuries. A great
many have found the affirmative
of this question to be true. The
greater portion of humanity can
testify to this fact.
All that glitters is not gold. All
that sparkles is not diamonds. Pos
session brushes the cobwebs from
our eyes. The things we loved so
we'll, or at least we thought we
did, are, on becoming the owner,
nothing but plain matter of fact
things of every day occurrence.
But should we be thankful where
there is so much bitter disappoint-
ment in the possession of things
we SO dearly loved and for which
we have willing staked our lives
and fought and toiled through the
long dark nights of doubt and un-
certainty.
We say yes. We should be
thankful that we are out of Jail,
free to breathe the pure air and
bathe in the glorious sunshine,
thankful that we are uncondemn-
ed by the good of the universe and
the executives of nations, and that
we still have mission to fulfill in
the acquisition of things still hoped
for in reaching the goal of our
ambition. OF all men we are the
most miserable when the star of
hope goes down, and our ambition
stifled by the ceaseless conflict
with grim despair. All our great
heroes come from, and acquire
their fame by victory over the
adversaries of human happiness,
We should be thankful for the
barriers to our progress, to the
difficulties to overcome, for it is
from these obstacles in our path.
way, that the heroism that is in.
scribed on the eternal monuments
of fame is chronicled and handed
down to our posterity for their
emulation.
Thankful, why, we should b.
thankful that we are on top o.
the sod, and had a whack at a goot
fat turkey on our eyer recurring
Thanksgiving day.

Angry Bucks Lock Antlers
Anaconda, Mont, Nov. pa
battle to the death was fought by
two black deer in Silver Boy can
yon a night or two ago within a
few rods of the Butte, Anaconda
& Pacific railroad track. The in
cident is one that might be found
in one of the Leather Stocking
Tales" or in a chapter from the
life of Kit Carson, though it was
viewed from the engine cab and
the cushioned seats of a twentieth
century passenger train rolling
along at the rate of fifty miles an
hour and was brought to an end
by two bullets from a high power
modern rifle.
1t was while the freight train
bound for Butte was climbing the
grade at 8 o'clock in the evening
that conductor Archie Kimball, and
the crew saw the first of the battle.
The headlight of the engine shone
on the scene like the spotlight on
a stage setting, and the trainmen
saw these monarchs of the glen
engaged in deadly combat lunging,
thrusting, PAIRING and plunging
again at each other with lowered
tossing antlers.
BATTLE STILL CONTINUED
Engrossed in the struggle, the
wild ones paid no attention to the
passing train. The freight crew
told the members of the crew of
the passenger train which leaves
Butte at 1l:l5 and they in turn
notified the passengers on the
Butte, Anaconda train so that all
were on watch, though scarcely
expecting that the battle of early
evening would still be on at mid
night when they were due to pass
the scene. But it was.
Again the picture show in dead
ly reality was on view and the
reason became apparent as the
train whizzed by, for the bucks
had locked horns in their strug.
gle for supremacy and were
prisoners to their own rage and
rivalry for leadership of the band
of doe.
The glimpse of the combat
caused great excitement among the
passengers and the crew, and they
told the tale to the agent and op-
orator at Dursnt. Night operator
Joseph r. Page set out at once
with his rife for the battle ground.
Frank Bridsell of Anaconda, who
has been hunting deer without sue
cess for three weeks was a passen-
ger on the train, and he joined in
the hunt.
Page and Birdsell walked up the
track about a mile and then sepa-
rated to encircle a hill, and the
luck fell to Page to come upon the
fighting bucks. Two shots laid
the bsttlers upon the grass. One
weighed 275 pounds and the other
800 pounds and their horns were
so securely fastened that it took
} half an hour of hard work on the
! part of the hunters to disentangle
them, which they did, to the loss
of a most interesting specimen
which the heads would have
} made if they had remained inter
locked as they were by the rivals
of the moul tains. 1t is known
positively that the combat was in
progress more than four hours
and the mighty monarchs had
fought till almost exhausted.
According to- official reports
there has been an increase in the

BASEBALL BOYS REMEMBER
 COMRADE
From Tuesdays Daily)


 'Play ball" is the watehword of the fans, and to play for all there is in it, may be said to be the pur- pose of the generously inclined boys who are eager to assist a fellow member who is on the home plate, and needs a run for his money to score against the game of sickness that has overtaken him.
 Jesse Wilson, who has many times offered his services to the people, and at much loss of time and poor pay, is seriously i'll at his rooms in this city, and has been in a helpless condition for nearly sixty days, suf fering with typnOid fever. His com panions in the game of other. days, desire to give him benefit, and last night it was decided to line up some of the good 'uns next Sunday, and to extend their stricken mem Der the consideration due him and to which he is undoubtedly entitled.
 A team has been selected from the many players in the city, and the military boys at Whipple also will lock step in the good cause, and try to win out in the game, of course. They will be reinforced with sev- eral new players among the hun dred recruits who have reached the post in the last few days. It will be a good, brisk game, for the cause is charity, and there will be no leg weary players on either side.
 Prescott will also have some new men, as appears from the following lineup:
 Morris of Phoenix, catcher; Parks of Reno, New, pitcher; Campbell of Los Angeles, 1st base; Lambertine of Prescott, 2nd base; Rudderow of Prescott, short stop; Kent of Pasa- dena, 3rd base; the outer gardens will be covered by Scott, Reymiller and Muller.
