At banquet of business men in
Chicago recently, President-elect Will
son said: IT am trustee for the
prosperity Of the United States in
council, and the council that is not
common council, the council that does
not include you, is imperfect council,
is council that will misslead. Won It
you come ins Have you not come int
Is it not your purpose to reestablish
economic freedom in the United Statess
Aren It we all in the same boat? Can It
I enlist you tonight in the common en-
terprise9 There is no bright prospect
otherwise
Commenting upon the Chicago speech,
the New York World says: "These are
not the words Of demagogy. They are
not the words Of politician preaching
class war. They are the words Of
statesman pleading for Justice ana
asking for assistance. To the extent
that big business interprets this speech
as an attack upon anything except
wrong and privilege and greed, to that
extent big business is an ass. To the
extent that big business refuses to
help in this movement for economic
freedom, to that extent big business
will be the chief victim of it's own
folly.'

Death of Mrs. Peterson

The neighborhood in the vicin-
ity of the Nine Pipe reservoir
was surprised last Monday to
learn that Mrs. C. F. Peterson
one of their neighbors had died
that morning at q O'Clock, of
strangulated hernia.
Mrs. Peterson had been ailing
but a few days and Drs. Hall
and Fuhrer were not summoned
until Sunday at which time they
pronounced her condition serious.
Both physicians determined that
they should ask DIR. Smith of
Missoula to come out and assist
them in case an operation was
possible and the latter came at
once, but it was too late and the
patient died the next morning.
The deceased was the wife of
G. F. Peterson and was a high
ly respected wife and mother.

MERIT ALONE WILL COUNT
IN POSTAL Department

Postmaster General Burleson
has announced that it is the ad-
ministration's policy to continue
all republican postmasters now
in office to the end of their terms
provided no charges are sustain
ed against their efficiency. The
policy applies to all classes of
postmasters.
my department will be run
on business lines and not by
politics, said Mr.. Burleson in
explaining the new policy. He
declared that there might be
some removals but he believed
that the majority of the post
masters were efficient and would
not be disturbed.
There will have to be specific
charges of inefficiency, however,
before anyone will be removed, "
he announced.
Mr.. Burleson said the decision
had been reached after confer
ence with President Wilson, who
favors the merit system. At
present a plan is being worked
out for securing efficiency under
the civil service, fourth class
postmasters having been placed
under that jurisdiction on an ex-
ecutive order by Mr.. Taft.

that the people have a better

Again Weighing Mail Matter

All the postmasters throughout
the country are again weighing
all mail matter received and sent
out. During the month of March
the Roman office sent out 1,524
pounds and received 6,76O
pounds.
This weighing is for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the amount
Of parcel post matter sent out

WINTER WHEAT COMING IN

The great bulk of the winter

shape, although there has been
reports of some of it being win

winter killing comes from a Sec

Pay of Jurors

BY the passage of senate bill
No. &c. introduced by Senate,
Duncan, at the last session OF
the legislature, and the approval
of the same by Governor Stewart
February ID, the law relating tc
juror fees has been radically
changed.
Under the old law, all Jurors
residing two miles away from
the court house, were paid every
day except Sundays and holidays,
and those living within two miles
of the court house were only
paid for the days on which they
actually served.
Under the new law, all persons
who live within ten miles of the
court house are paid only for the
actual time they serve, while
those living outside of the ten
mile limit are paid for every
day, including Sundays and holi-
days.

WILL HOLD SPELLING MATCH

Principal S. r. Logan has
about completed arrangements
to hold an old fashioned spelling
match at St. Ignatius at an early
date at which time the cham
pionship of school district No.
q. will be decided. This con-
test has been going on for some
time in this district, all the
schools taking part and the best
spoilers of each school will meet
at St. 1gnatius to settle the pre-
miership.
The art of good spelling has
witnessed a decay during the
past few years and a revival of
the spelling bee may have an in
fluence for good among the
pupils of the schools of this dis
trict. TO be good speller is an
accomplishment which adds to
the education of the youth as
much as any other branch and
with so many business men un-
able to spell the common ordi-
nary words, the ability to do SO
will be greatly appreciated.
Some good prizes go to the
winner of the contest. St. Igna-
titus people are preparing to give
the teachers of the different
schools taking part a hearty
welcome and it will be made a
day to be remembered.

all homesteaders, are turning the
sod to beat four of a kind and
will SOW it to spring crops. This
work is for the proper prepara-
tion of the soil for the sowing Of
some hay crops, so it is reported
with hopes Of being able to grow
forage for dairy cows in the
near future.
The average homesteader is in
real earnest and is improving his
land as rapidly as conditions will
permit. This shows the right
kind of spirit and will eventually
build up a wonderfully rich
country. and make beautiful
homes for all of them.

showed up and the obligation is
now evened up all round.
We found Mr.. Lowenstein to
be building up one of the incest
farms to be found anywhere.
He has excellent buildings. and
the farming he is doing is of the
best. He reads the latest books
on how to farm and how to care
for his stock and is patting this
information to the test and it is
predicted that he will make
good.
His stock is as good as he
could buy, he is taking excellent
care of same and stands to have
the model farm of the Flathead.
He will plant a ten acre orchard
this year and will experiment
with different grasses in an en-
deavor to know which is best to
keep for all purposes.
After spending a very plea
SAINT two hours at the ranch the
party returned home we'll paid
for the trip, even if Mr.. Brewer
did not speak.

After several days of investi-
cation and many conferences re-
s,arding the conditions found to
exist in the county treasurer's
office, John w. Hicklin resigned
on Monday last and Edward H.
Mccarthy, who has been chief
deputy for the past six years
vas elected by the board Of
county commissioners to fill the
-2acancy. The first vote stood
one for Mccarthy, one for Cuth-
bert Peat and one for Clarence
Prescott, but on the second bal
lot the vote stood two for Nc
Carthy and one for Prescott.
An examination of the books
# the treasurer by the state ex-
aminer reveals the fact that
there was a shortage in the cash

If Maryland, and a representa-
tive of the company was is Mis-
soula Sunday and Monday and
stated that his company stood
ready to make good the short
2ge.
1t is currently reported that
1ae shortage is caused largely
by the treasurer receiving checks
which were no good and being
otherwise imposed upon by his
supposed friends. He has been
ssell respected by many people

POSITION and many words of
sympathy are heard on every
side. 1t is to he hoped that he

FINE MEETING
At ST. |GNAT|US

The meeting held at St. Igna-
thus last Friday evening, was a
fine one. and everybody who at
tended from Roman had grand
time.
Sometime ago the Commercial
club at that thriving village is
sued an invitation to Hon. A. j.
Brewer to come down there and
make them talk on the doings
in the legislature last winter,
and he accepted. He was ac-
companied by Stanley Scarce,
Rev. John Ross, Prof. E. D..
Healey, Jos. A. Lemire, F. j.
White. DR.. Hall, A. Sutherland,
Geo. Broughton, Don Rathbone
and C. F. Rathbone.
Upon arrival at St. Ignatius
the party was taken to the
Michaud hotel where an elegant
supper was prepared and await
ing them and after doing full
justice to the meal proceeded to
the opera house where the meet
ing was held. A good crowd as
sembled to listen to Mr.. Brewer
and the chairman A. K. Lusk,
took advantage of this fact and
introduced several others before
he allowed the principal speaker
an opportunity to speak. Rev.
Ross, sang one Of his entertain
ing Scotch songs and the encore
was so persistent he had to re-
spond again, after which Stan
ley Scarce, C. F. Rathbone and
DR.. Hall spoke a few minutes
each, and Prof. Healey gave a
recitation which was very great
ly appreciated by the audience if
applause counts. After this por-
ton of the program was through
Mr.. Brewer delivered talk des-
criptive of what occurred at the
late session of the legislature
and he saved neither party in
describing how legislation was
enacted. He told of the good
bills which were killed and the
poor ones which crept through
and taken altogether his speech
was an excellent one. He told
of the workings of the legisla-
ture in plain language and pre-
dicted that another such would
never be seen in this state again,

There is one thing about the
.lnkering with the tariff which
every business man appreciates,
and that is that there is deter
.:lination to get through with it
IS speedily as possibly. The
business interests of the country
want to know how it is all going
to work out, and the sooner the
experiment is tried the better it
will suit everybody concerned.
It a low tariff will settle condi-
tons, even though lower prices
all along the line prevail, then
that is what is wanted, and on
the other hand, if it is found
detrimental then the sooner it is
tried out and changed the better
it will be for everybody. The
agitation for tariff changes has
been so persistent for so many
years that great many people
believe it should be tried and
what is wanted is speed in doing
it. The chances are good, how
ever, that the present bill will
be amended in many respects be-
lore it reaches President Wilson
for his signature.
