THE Thirteenth CENSUS.

This is the thirteenth census. Ter
years ago the population of the Unit
ed States was given officially at &c.
90, 1857 and at that time many varying
prophesies were made as to what the
1910 population would be.
Commissioner Merriam at thai
time declared that he estimated that
the census would show q national
population Of 100, 900, 900. Director
Durand OF the census bureau says he
thinks the census will show the popu.
lation to be from SO, 200, 900 to 81, 600, .

NORTH MONTANA STOCKMEN.

Speaking OF empire builders, public
b~enefactors, captains OF industry, and
90 forth-what is the matter with Mon
tana stockmen? Are they not entitled
to q place in the Hall of Fame?
stockmen assisted material
ly in laying the found atoms upon
which this great commonwealth has
been built. The livestock industry
shares with the mining industry the
credit for establishing and maintain.
ing the agencies through which laws
were made and enforced. and Montana
transformed from the rendezvous of
thieves and thugs to territory in which
the property and lives of its citizens
are as efficiently protected as in any
state in the Union.
AS public benefactors, Montana
stockmen are certainly entitled to
recognition. At one time, in the notdis.
tant past, the livestock interests form.
ed the larger part of the taxable prop
erty from which was derived the nee.
essary revenue for the efficient ad.
m%inistration Iof the public business.
The taxes paid by stockmen pro-
vided funds with which to construct
and maintain public roads and bridges;
the revenue from taxes levied upon
livestock constituted for many years
. large part of the public revenue
that was applied to the payment Of
state and county expenses. In the
absence of such tax contributions
from Montana stockmen, the state
and county finances would have been
in q deplorable condition.
Montana stockmen have utilized
and converted into tangible wealth q
part of the natural resources that
otherwise would have been wasted and
lost. The wild grasses that annually
mature and decay II not converted
to profitable use have been harvested
by the stockmen's herds, supplying
high class meat products to the popu-
lous centers Of the United States and
foreign countries. Had it not been
for Montana's contribution to these
food supplies, the cost of living-the
great problem of the times-would
doubtless have assumed still more
alarming proportions.
The livestock industry OF Montana
was largely responsible for railroad
development In thisIpart of the coun.
try. The profitable traffic offered by
Montana's livestock shipments at.
tracted the attention Of railroad mag
mates, and the extension OF their line:
to Montana followed at the earliest
practicable date. The transportation
OF Montana livestock to eastern mar
kets has been q most important feat
ure of the evenu of railroads tina
handle the business, and has assisted
in making them dividend paying in
vestments.
Montana stockmen have also beer
good to their sffable friends at the
great livestock centers, with whom
they have always enjoyed the mos,
pleasant relations. The profits de-
rived from handling Montana ship
ments ct the great market centers have
enabled livestock commission men to
purchase automobiles and other lux.

THE CURRENT OF LIVE.

Don't look for flaws as you go through
life
And even when you find them,
1t IS wise and kind to be somewhat
blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of
light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
1t is better by far to hunt for star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs ever away
To the bosom of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers
course
And think TO alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Remember it lived before you.
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
FORM
But bend and let it go DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your within TO the letter:
Some things must so wrong your whole
life long,
And the sooner you know it the
better.
It is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle.
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan
AS the water shapes into vessel.

HOW DIVORCE CAME.

viscount Halifax, a High church
man. and head of the Ritualist party
m the Protestant church of England,
has been saying Of divorce that:
"Our present law is a direct incen-
five TO and encouragement of sin.
An extension Of the law of
divorce i'm the direction of laXity must
end I'm the destruction Of Christian
marriage altogether, and the substitu-
ton in it's place Of what would be to
gH intents and purposes a legalized
system of free love"
Upon this the Catholic Herald
(AIanchester. England) remarks:
THAT is precisely what Protestant
ism mas brought about In Great Brit
ain While England and Scotland
were Catholic, divorce was unknown.
1t came as the consequence or accom-
paniment Of the new creed. The les

Great Britain became subject to the
legislature; obliged to actin such
matters as marriages. the state di-
reefs. The consequence was inevitable.
II YOU have Professionalism you have
