NATIONAL POINT OF VIEW

Perhaps there have been no worse hindraneaa

most vociferous champions. A great task OF
sensible eugenists today is to protect the prop-
aganda from fool friends.-DetroIt Free Press.

THE wells of human sympathy never run
i dry. There was kind mistress in the
South who used to smuggle slaves into her
own house, after they had been whipped by
the overseer, and apply balm to their wounds.
The unique claim which the Belgians have
on the charity Of the world is their utter
guiltlessness Of any offense. They are not
starving the result of a malicious attempt
to gain territory. Their sole crime was that
the territory they inhabited lay in the route
of a giant enemy who wished to get to France
and get there quick. The Belgians did what
any self-respecting people would do-they
tried to protect their homes How we'll they
tried will be the subject Of song and story
for ages to come, but just now the important
thing is the price they are called on to pay
Immediately.

IINttb horrors IN belgium are tne greater Oh
i course, on account of the high civilization
of the people. When Caesar sent his Roman
legions through Germany they found people
used to living in the open. If their villages
were destroyed they could move on and build
others They were accustomed to exposure
and they knew how to endure the bitterness
of famine and cold. But the Belgans of
today are a people accustomed to the sub
stantial living that comes from thrift and
energy. They are as skilled in manufac-
turing as In farming and dairying. The revo-
cation of the Edict of Nantes drove from
France the flower of its productive popula-
tion, many of whom eventually came to the
United States and took foremost part in
the upbuilding of the nation. But that was
the case of a Government driving out its own
citizens and deliberately pauperizing itself.
In Belgium, on the contrary, whole nation
is being expelled from it's soil. The scene
is being laid for another Acadia and an
other Evangeline. In fact the only good that
possibly can come from the catastrophe in
Belgium is great poem tragedy, paint
ing or some majestic sculpture, that
carved in the side of the mountain at Lu-
cerne in honor of the Swiss Guards, VIC
Tins of the bullets of the Marseilaise and
the pixies of the mob that August day in
1892. "The Lion of Lucerne," of course, was
not carved by Thorwaldsen himself. 1t was
the Swiss Ahorn who actually changed the
rugged mountainside into the majestic
beauty of Thorwaldsen's model. If out of
the suffering, the turmoil and the grief of
Belgium should come the inspiration for
new lmmortalities in art, they may in part
reconcile the world to the loss of its older
treasures. But there is nothing, naturally,
that can recompense civilization for the
tragedy of Belgium.

Green Bros. Are

Given Contract for the In
stallation of Water
System

At a special meeting of the
town council on Wednesday
evening the contract for the
installation of the waterworks
system was awarded to c. Fl.
Green of Spokane, whose firm
installed the Waller and Chest
er systems.
Early in the week the Coffin
company, the successful bidders
for the bonds, wired to the effect
that they could not 60 through
with their end of the bargain,
due to rush of other matters.
But the gloom caused by this
bit Of news was dispelled when
Mr.. Green came to town and
assured the council that his
firm would handle the bond
proposition and do the construc-
ton work. Mr.. Green gave a
certified check for $1,000 and
will furnish surety bonds for
the full amount of the contract,
$29,OOO.00.
He assured the council that
active construction work would
begin in about three weeks and
that it would not take very long,
with the modern appliances,
to install the system. So it looks
as if the long deferred installa-
ton of the system would mat
erialize this time.

Shoknecht Sheerful

THE lumber industry is ex-

Schoknecht, manager of the
Libby Lumber company. Crop

section is surely on dress parade
just now. The w cant lands are
lands are rapidly being taken
up and the bumper yield that
the farmers are sure to harvest
this fall will stimulate build
ing"
That Mr.. Schoknecht actually
believes what he says relative
to the lumber outlook is proven
by the recent extension of the
business. Eight new yards have
been added to the string, making
a total of twenty-six now being
operat I'd by the Libby Lumber
company. The new yards are
located at Niarada, Homesteam,
Medicine Lake, An telop e,
Plentywood, Red Stone, Buyer

Smashing the Legend

The Helena Record had an
interview with Little Bear,
chief of the Chippewa tribe the
other day, while the latter was
returning from Yellowstone
Park, where he took a last look
at the small herd of buffalo.
Little Bear was asked his opin-
ion concerning Spopee and with
many GESTURES and contortions
expressed the conviction that
Spopee should have been hang
ed for the cold -blooded crime he
committed.
1t is stated by those who are
considered authorities that Spo-
pee is not a Piegan or Blackfeet
Indian at all, but affiliated with
the tribe from the time of in
fancy.
The Spopee fetch is being
severely iolted these days. The
other day the Minneapolis
Journal printed an interview
with Captain Arthur C.. Hill of
that city. Captain Hill states
that he was a U. S. Army
surgeon in the Blackfeet country
in the year 1879, the year Spc-
pee killed Charles Womsley.
| He further states that he is the
person who ran down Spopee
after the murder and was in
strumental in having him con-
victed.
Captain Hill says the man
Spopee murdered was as fine a
fellow as there was on the
frontier and that he was murd-
cred in cold blood by Spopee
and Good Rider. His story is
practically the same as that
told by others who resided ir
this section at the time of the
murder.

$4,000 Engineers
May Go on Strike
All Roads West of Missis.
sippi River Will be
Affected

The prospect for a strike of
$4,000 engineers and firemen on
all roads west of the Mississippi
looms larger with each passing
hour. The representatives Of
the employees refuse to arbi-
trate matter under the Erdman
Act. The employers declare
that to grant the demands Of
the firemen and engineers would
mean an additional expense on
the roads affected of $4,000, 900
annually.
While no one connected with
local railway matters will
venture a prediction as to the
autcome or a solution of the
grave problem, the feeling pre-.
walls that the strike will yet be
averted.
Some of the principal requests
made are that time of service
be reduced from ten to eight
hours, and in passenger service
from ten to five hours.
That overtime be raised to a
basis of time and a half in
freight service and double time
in passenger service.
That engineers and firemen
be paid an arbitrary 80 minutes
preparatory time for each trip
instead of computing service
continuously from actual time
Of reporting for duty.
That allowances be made for
terminal delays in addition to
payment for the miles or the
hours Of the trip.
That the differentials paid for
running Mallet engines be in
creased.
That the differentials between
local and through freight Serv-
ice be increased.
That two firemen be employ
ed on large coal l-burning engines,
regardless of the character
length Of the run, the tonnage
hauled or the work required

No More Watch
full W Waiting Now
First Aid to Cupid in a
Recent Land Office
Ruling

Commissioner Thomas has
Just received a communication
from Commissioner Tallman
concerning an act recently pass
ed by congress, in which it
specifies that a hom e tea d
entryman and homestead en-
trywoman may get married and
chose to i've on either one of
the homeSteadS without jeo-
parding their right to the home
stead which they have vacated.
The act applies to claims ini-
tiated before or after its date,
and to become entitled to its
benefits it is required that each
Of the parties shall have COM
piled with the requirements of
the homestead laws for not less
than one year preceding their
marriage. Where the parties,
Or either of them, are entitled
TO credit for such compliance
prior to entry, that time may be
counted in making up the period
Of one year, and it follows that
neither of the entries need be
one year old at the time OF
marriage.
THE law confers upon the
husband the privilege Of elect
ing on which of the two entries
the family shall reside. His
election must be supported by
the affidavits of both the parties,
describing their entries and
showing the acts so to the resi-
dence, cultivation and improve
ments already had in connec-
lion Herewith. Only in casro'
where the tracts involved are
situated in different districts
will it be necessary that the
election and affidavits be ex-
ecuted in duplicate, then copies
IF all papers must be filed in
each office.
"The local officers will make
due notation of the filing of the
election on their records as to
the entry, or entries, within
5heir district, and will at once
forward the papers, with their
commentators, to the general
land office, which will promptly
pass upon the question of ac-
cepting the election.
Though the election be ac-
cepted. proof on the entries will
be submitted separately, as in
other cases; it will be necessary
to show residence on the select
| ed homestead from approxim-
ately the date of the selection,
| and on the entries of the Selec-
ton, and on the entries of the
respective parties before said
date. The act makes no change
whatever in the requirements
as to cultivation law in this
regard must be shown as to each
entry, percisely as tho the mar
riage had not taken place.
IF proof is made on the entry
selected as the home before title
to other is earned; residence
may nevertheless be continued
on the perfected entry and cred
tied to the other. However
the act has no application te
cases where the requirements
of law have been fulfilled as tt
one entry prior to the marriage
or the filing of the election.

GROWTH OF A NATION

Confidence in the integrity of others is the force
which measures credit.
Confidence enables people to place their wealth

During the last hundred years the wealth of the
United States has increased from $l,845,000,000

has grown from eight millions to ninety-eight mill
lions, twelv-told expansion.
The annual growth of banking deposits in the Unit
ed States is about $940, 100000.
Faith in the integrity and energy of the people, and
in the richness of the country have enabled the
banks to assist the people market their products
to make wealth to deposit in more banks to
