ADVERTISING MONTANA.

1t is the opinion of the Red Lodge
Picket that, in extending welcome to
prospective settlers, Montana boosters
should tell the cold facts as to the
conditions that obtain in this state.
A complete understanding of the eli.
matte conditions and other matters
that affect the welfare of the citizens
engaged in ranching and other pur-
suits Is due the prospective settler,
and our Red Lodge contemporary
proceeds to give such information in
these remarks:
This newspaper agrees with its con-
te%mporaries who assert that judicious
advertising pays: but it wants to say
to the enthusiasts that Montana a
stand only for so much advertising.
In other words, enough has been said
in gl%orification of Montana for ore
year. The great state offers much
that is good for ambitious, Industrious
homeseekers. But the stranger cannot
find any more gold nuggets on the
prairies than can the old.timers.
Montana has been advertised by the
railways as she has never been adj
vertised before. Undoubtedly the
railroads have done some good for
this state in a business way: but the
railroad, like the real estate man, is
tout for the money" The first of
next year will find millions of un.
tenanted acres in Montana. Next
year will witness another rush of
homeseekers. The railroad people
certainly do not think that they can
fill Montana with settlers this year,
nor the next year. But they do know
that they are bringing hundreds of
prospective settlers into this state,
and, unfortuna tely many of these
strangers come with a belief that this
is a veritable Paradise because some
OF the "stuff" that has been written
about the state is misleading.
We are all loya Il and patriotic Mon.
tanans, and we don't like to apollo.
gize to our new friends who have been
told in booklets that the climate here
is mild all the year round. The win.
tiers here are cold and som of the
springs are backward. No more beau.
tiful summers than ours are of record:
the autumns are ideal. But let US put
the brakes on this howery CUFF about
mild winters" Advertising pays,
the right sort of advertising. But for
heavens sake cut out this pamphlet
gush about mild winters" Montana
winters are not mild; they are severe.
AT that, It Is an ideal home state.
Lying and iudicious advertising are
two widely separate things.

United States to be shown by the cold
official figures that, with the single
exception of Russia, more murders
are committed in this country every
year than In any other civilized coun.
try on the globe.
The appalling cost of crime is also
a feature OF the case deserving careful
consideration. 1t is estim ated by
careful statisticians that the annual
cost of crime of all kinds in this coun.
try is q and one.half times the ma.

If. for instance. it cost s1OI to pre-.

the proportion may be reversed and
come much nearer:the truth. One dol.

ROOSEVELT THRILLS BRITONS
Makes Straight Talk About British
Methods In Egypt.

Methods In Egypt.
LONDON, May 3l.-Theodore Roose-
welt was today presented with the free.
dom OF the city of London and he &C.
cepted the honor with a liberalism that
led him into a frankness of speech
which created q sens alton in old Guild
Hall. AS the former head Of a coun.
try that once paid tribute to Great
Britain, the American statesman gave
the motherland some bold advice as
to her duty toward her most trouble.
some dependencies in Africa.
Mr.. Roosevelt eulogized British
rule in Uganda and Soudan. He de.
clared that Great Britain had given
Egypt the best government that coun.
try had had in 1000 years. But in
certain vital points it had erred.
Timidity and sentimentality, he said,
might cause more harm than violence
and injustice.
"Sentimentality," he added, sis the
most broken reed on which righteous
ness al lean"
Mr.. Roosevelt denounced the ma
tionalist party of Egypt as neither
DESTROYS nor capable of guaranteeing
primary justice. 1t was trying to
bring murderous chaos Oh the land.
Either it was right or was not right
for Great Britain to be in Egypt and
establish order throughout the coun.
try. If it was not right to further this
purpose, then the British should get
out. Some nation, said the former
president, must govern Egypt. He
hoped and believed that the English
would decide that the duty was theirs.
AS a whole the speech constituted
the most forcible expression on for.
eign topics that the distinguished visi-
tor has made during his tour. He
dealt principally with the British
policy In Egypt, which ia today one
OF the most discussed Of Great Bri.
tsin's colonial questions. His out.
spoken views sent q thrill through the
10000 auditors which is likely to be
felt outside the walls of the ancient
council hall.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
Sickness still cuts some figure in
church attendance, A fairly good
congregation, however, listened to
the pastors discourse Sunday morn
ing on Church Discipline. Judging
from the way the congregation left
when conference convened immedi-
ately after, a stranger would have
thought there were very few of the
members present to hear the sermon,
or many of them were awfully scared
by it.
There was no service at the
Methodist church at night, so we
had the pleasure of having both
congregations in one at our night
service; yet, the house wasn't full
even then.
Bamberg church and all it's aux
iliary societies together, raised
$93.40 for foreign missions this
month. The books of the foreign
mission board close next Saturday
for the conventional year. A heavy
debt has been staring the board in
the face. 1t is hoped that many
remittances at the last like ours was,
will relieve the situation.
