"The fake mining schemers are

more harm to legitimate investments
than all the appeals for sane con-

is that they use the same old "bun-

POLITICIANS AND COUNTY FAIRS

This is the open season for politi-
clans, county fairs and wild game,
is the opinion of the Missoula Mis-
soulian The county fairs are in a
class by themselves but the politi-
clans and the wild game may be
punched together for general pur-
poses; they possess the common
quality that they are the marks for
cruel shots, and further, that not all
of the hunters shoot fair. The open
ing week of October finds the game
in full flight and the politician wish
ing that he might hike for the hills
himself for a few weeks. 1t would
be relief. But the county fair
that's the thing. 1t is in it's glory
and it seeks just what it's contem-
poraries avoid; it yearns for the
crowd and it Graves the throng. But
it il welcome-this county fart
affords the politician the chance to
get on the other end of the hunting
game: in the crowd at the fair. the
man who is on the ticket has the OPP
portunity to chase the voter, for the
voter is sure to be at the show.
When he gets into the crowd at the
fair, the politician forgets the cruel
thrusts he has lodged and he gets
into the game with zeal and alarclty.
His is a many-s;ded existence and he
can switch from the role Of the pur-
sued to the better one of the pur-
suer with all alarc'ty of man
doubling in Uncle Tom and blood
hound. So it is that these October
days brings delights aside from those
which the weather man contributes.

TAFT DEFINES A PROGRESSIVE.


The President in his only address
OF the recent campaign, before a
banquet of the League of Republi-
can clubs in New York City, the 9TH
er evening at Hotel Astor had very
conciliatory tone, especially toward
the progressive wing of the republi-
can party. All factions of the party
were given due credit for their share
in shaping legislation and for the
reforms put through congress.
''The record of the past eighteen
months" he declared, "was an ear
est desire of the party to fulfill it's
platform promises and obligations.
He promised that if the republican
majority in congress should be con-
tinued at the coming elections, the
work thus far left undone would be
carried through to completion.
Upon the whole republican party
the president bestowed the title of
progressive" Then he undertook
to define just what is meant by
progressive"
"A party of true progress is not
a party of radicalism," he declared
amid che"rs. ut is not a party of
ultra conservatism" he added, and
again was cheered.
"a progressive republican," the
president went on, els one who rec
ognizes existing and concrete evils
and who is in favor of practical and
definite steps to eradicate them

to Ordinance Passed Last
Night

The final passage of the city cleo
tric lighting ordinance which was to
take place last night was postponed
on account of difficulty that present.
ed itself in the shape Of previous
ordinance which provides that the
city must not expend more than $500
per month for lighting the city,
sum that the proposed new ordi-
nance exceeds by few dollars. The
city council has determined to repeal
the old ordinance with its limitations
and pass the new.
At present Deadwood is lighted
with Is arc lights which cost $40
each. The incandescent tungsten
lights can be had for 1925 each per
month and the new ordinance win
cut out ten of the arc lights and sub
stitute thirty of the incandescent
lights. This will give the city fif-
teen arc and sixty incandescent lights
which, we'll distributed, should light
the city quite well.
The ordinance relating to fees of
the city police justice was placed on
It's second reading. This provides
that the Justice cannot collect fees
from the city which the justice can
not collect from defendants. An or
dinance which authorized the city
auditor to certify to delinquent spec
ial assessments was placed on it's sec
ond reading. The council directed
that bids be advertised for the cen
struction of cross walk across the
blind alley between the property Of
Jack Gray and Mrs. Frazier on Har-
rison street. The residents of Car.
ney street petitioned the council for
water main on that street, fearing
that there was danger of typhoid fe-
yer in using the well water there and
the petition was read and favorable
action taken, four-inch main to
be laid from the Fish & Hunter site
to Pine street along Carney.
