PULITZER FUNERAL TOMORROW, FAMOUS
PUBLISHER BEGAN LIFE AS A WAITER

taurant, young Pulitzer got his first
taste of journalism. Newspaper re-
porters were wont to gather in the
grill and play cards. One evening
they asked the young waiter who for
months had been passing all his spare
time at the public library, studying,
to fill vacant chair at the table. He
won one game after another. The re-
porters became interested in him and
got him a place on paper. He rose
to reporter. city editor, managing ed
itor and proprietor. Then he consol-
idated the st. Louis Dispatch with the
st. Louis Post, foming the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, of which he was own
er when he died.
In the early eighties Pulitzer's eye
sight failed. But that did not pre-
vent HIM from making the New York
World, a paper of small circulation
then, one of the greatest dailies in the
world. Up to the time of his death
Pulitzer was the same nervous ener-
getic, impatient and excitable dispvsi-
ton that characterized him when he
first went into the journalistic field.

International Convention Advocates

and Would Isolate Agnostics and
Enforce sabbath.

London, Oct 31.-O1e of the most
remarkable conventions of modern
times was opened in London today,
the object of the gathering being to
form an international organization to
make war on agnosticism and inf
deity" A majority of the delegates
are noncOmformist ministers of Eng
land and Scotland, although a number
of European nations are represented.
In the call for the convention the
promoters of the movement suggest
the establishmen of what would am
cunt to modern inquisition. The ac-
ton Of the Spanish government in
ordering the execution of Ferrer, the
freethinker, was held up as an ex-
ample of the treatment which should
be accorded to all "infidels." Prof.
Ernest Haeckel of Germany, and
Thomas A. Edison are named as am
ong those who are influential in
sending souls to hell"
1t is declared that the Bible ad-
vocates the melting out of speedy
punishment to blasphemers and un-
believers. 1t is proposed that branch
es be organized in all nations and
that they attempt to bring about the
passage of laws for the squelching of
unbelief. h
Among the statutes suggested are
laws prohibiting any unbeliever in
Christianity from testifying in any
court; for the destruction of all 'in-
fidep' literature and the imprison-
ment of authors and publishers; for
the strict enforcement of sunday as
the Christian Sabbath and the max
ing of church attendance at least once
a month legally compulsory. 1t is
also proposed that none but Christ
ians be eligible to any office.

RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT
A. c. Graves Succeeds Him
And Guy H Davis is
Vice President

At a special election, held Feb.
18, H. E. Marshall handed in his
resignation as president Of the First
National Bank, owing to the fact
that his home is in Roundup and
it is very inconvenient for him to
attend to the duties of the presid-
ent and live to far away. The bank
hates to lose Mr.. Marshall as he
has made an excellent president.
Mr.. Graves who was elected to
succeed him needs no comment, as
everyone knows Mr.. Graves and
his ability as business man. Mr..
Guy H. Davis of Shawmut was ell
ected Vice Pres. Mr.. Davis has
made good since he came to Mon
tana and has host of friends who
will be glad to know that he is so
closely connected with the bank.
