SENTIMENT SHOWN
IN PENNY FUND
FREE SPEECH COLLECTION ENDS
AFTER MORE THAN 1900
RESPOND.

AS foretold in an announcement sew
eral days AGO., the campaign initiated
by The Muscular for the collection OF
pennies to assist in paying the fines
of the Boise, Idaho, editors recently
fined and imprisoned for printing re-
marks made by Theodore Roosevelt
concerning the Idaho supreme court,
closed last night. One cent each is all
that has been accepted from the con-
tributors of this free speech fund,
and it has been interesting to watch
the fund grow. People in this city have
gone out of their way to bring in their
pennies and go on record against the
action of the Idaho court. Persons
living in other sections of The Mis-
soulian's field have responded by letter,
and many contributions nave come
from towns and cities outside Montana.
Last night 1869 persons had con-
trlbuted to the free speech fund.
Many Of these, had they been allowed,
would have given much more than a
penny; offers of large amounts were
made every day. But The Missoulian's
idea in undertaking the collection was
more to secure ar expression of senti-
ment than to raise a big fund Of
money. Already two consignments of
pennies of IS each have been sent to
the Boise editors, and each has been
gratefully acknowledged. The rest of
the money will go in today's mail. The
amount of the collection stands as fol-
lows:
