alton. Each student will be required
to carry the equivalent of four pre-
pared recitations per day. A stu
dent may be permitted to carry more
than the prescribed amount of work
provided his scholarship record will
warrant it.
A student failing to make month
ly average of IS per cent in any SEM
ester, or grade of IS per cent in
the semester examination will be con-
dtioned in that subject; however if
the monthly average is below 70 per
cent or the examination standing be-
low 60 per cent the student will be
| required to take the subject again in
class. A condition occurring at the
close of the first semester must be
removed before the close of the Sec
ond semester, and one occurring at
! the close of the second semester must
be removed before the opening of
school the following September The
final or semester standing is secured
by averaging the average of the
monthly standing taken twice and the
semester examination standing taken
once. A final standing below 20 per
cent is a failure.
To secure the best results in school
work there must be hearty co-opera-
ton between parents and teachers
Parents can greatly assist the school
work by seeing that the students are
prompt and regular in attendance and
by providing suitable conditions for
home study. Students who do not
spend two hours daily in systematic
home study rarely do satisfactory
work. Irregularities in attendance
and home study are the usual causes
Of failures.
Any questions that may arise con-
cerning the work Of the school will be
gladly answered by the persons direct
ing the work.

which in that event will have COM
plete control of the strike breakers,
and they will be sent by this commit
tee to whatever road they may be
most needed on. The entire resources
of the railroads will be pooled in an
effort to maintain some sort of train
service. 1t is planned to operate one
train day, and these trains will be
run over which ever road is open for
travel.
Trains will not be left out on the
road at seven o'clock but will be run
into the nearest terminal, unless the
crew have already worked sixteen
hours. The strike order contains eau
ton to the brotherhoods to prevent
all lawlessness and to conduct the
strike in as quiet manner as pos
sible.

BISHOP BREWER ANSWERS CALL

The Rt. Rev. L. R. Brewer, for
thirty six years bishop of the Protest
ant Episcopal church, and leader of
the church in Montana during all of
that time, died Monday evening at his
home in Helena after long illness.
The Bishop has made many visits to
Glasgow in the past and his many
friends here will deeply mourn his
passing. During his many years of
labor within his diocese the bishop
suffered the hardships and sufferings
of pioneer days, and there are few
men who have done more for the pro-
gress of Montana. He was known
in every part of the state, and the
thousands whom in sorrow and dis
tress he comforted and advised will
not soon forget his kindlness, his
generosity and his courage.

TWILIGHT ZONE" AMERICANS

A bitter blow has fallen on 200 or
more American-born residents of Eng
land. A cruel state department re-
fuses to let them register as American
citizens and refuses to give them pass
ports. The tragic result is that a
good many Of the gentlemen concern
ed face the prospect Of being draft
ed into the British army. For if
they not American citizens, it seems
to follow naturally that they are Brit
ish subjects, and therefore liable to
military service.
The English have coined an apt
name for such persons. They are
"Twilight Zoners" They dwell neith-
er in light nor in darkness, but in a
shadowy borderland between the two
nationalities.
In all of the cases in question, our
state department maintains that the
men and women now claiming the pro-
lection of the Stars and Stripes have
really expatriated themselves. They
may not have taken the oath of allie
glance to the British sovereign, but
they have made their homes in Eng
land for periods ranging from ten
to thirty years, and in all that time
have not performed any Of the duties
of American citizenship. They do
not belong to the growing class of
Americans who reside abroad as bust
ness representatives of American firms
and who usually preserve their Am
ericanism unimpaired. They belong
rather to the leisure classes, living
abroad from preference And now
says Uncle Sam, having made their
choice, let them stick to it,
There's sort of poetic justice, too
in many of these cases. 1t is most
ly such "Americans' as these who
are responsible for the slanderous and
disloyal criticism of the American peo-
pie that has been so frequent in Eur
opean capitals since the war began
II am an American" such persol
usually says by way of preface, ."bu
am ashamed of my country" Thu
the poison sinks deeper, the slande
spreads farther, than if the critic ha'
spoken as foreigner or simply a
an impartial observer.
Real Americans, wherever they hap
pen to live, will shed few tears owe
the plight of these people who, hav
ing repudiated America, now fin
themselves repudiated by America.

PREPARING FOR
BIG r. r. STRIKE
Railroad Refusing Freight Shipments

Railroad Refusing Freight Shipments.
Strike Called for Monday Next.
With 100000 trainmen under orders
to strike at 7 a. m. Labor Day, and
with the combined action of the Pre-
sident, Congress, and public opinion up
to the present unable to avert the
impending calamity, the whole coun-
try is slowly assuming an attitude of
preparedness. People who have been
away are hurrying home, the roads
are establishing a record passenger
business, and freight conditions are
already paralyzed. All of the roads
have issued orders to their agents to
refuse freight shipments which could
not be delivered with certainty before
7 a. m. Monday morning. For the
past four days the agent here has
been refusing such shipments.
The Great Falls Trade Tour was
cancelled yesterday. A decisive tele-
gram from the General Passenger
agent of the Great Northern Railway
announced that the uncertainty of
train movement made it impossible
for the company to undertake to get
the train over the road at the present
time. Everything was in readiness
for the trip, large crowd had pre-
pared to go, and the Black Eagle Band
had been secured. The trip, how
ever has only been postponed.
1t is not the intention of the rail
roads to take up the fight single hand
ed, if the strike order should be car
ried into effect in spite of the influ-
ences that are working against it. A
committee has already been arranged

a square corner and the intersection of Church is diagonal. In view of this, with the post where it is, it is a difficult thing for traffic going south on Elm street and east on Church to properly round the sign. It seems that suitable guide marks on the pavement, such as are used in De- troit and other big automobile centers, might solve the question and leave more safe leeway for traffic.
 Without doubt, our ne1ghbor1ng town of Berlin possesses stretch of public highway that Is in as bad con- dition as any other in Connecticut that is travelled anywhere near as much. Pennington road, between Kensington and Berlin is referred to. Traffic on this road is as heavy as anywhere in this vicinity, yet no pre- tense is made to keep it in good con- dition. Almost every foot of the high way is scared with deep ruts and all in all 1t Is as bad a piece of road construction as the average tourist Is apt to find on a heavily travelled roadway.

PLENTY OF ROOM HERE.

Asking the pertinent question, Who is Democrat" the Bridgeport Farm CT makes answer:
 Any man who believes that the democratic administration ought to be returned to power because of it's ac- complishments for the people, and to obtain the benefit of it's further ser vices for the people.
 Any man who will vote for WoOd- row Wilson in the sound belief that thereby is preserved the peace of the nation.
 Any man who in good conscience believes a dem ocratic vote Is the best and most patriotic vote.'
 AS if that is not enough the good old Farmer gives another right hand swing and launches forth the broad ness of dem ocraoy thuswise:
 "Democrats do not stand, like the angels of ancient theological arguo ment, upon the point of needle, but upon a broad plateau"
 We like that; and this, "A party creed is not a knife edge; 1t IS ten acre lot in which each man has his favorite spots."

vote in this country is something ap
 paling. At present it is directed into one channel or the other by the force of persuation, usually from employers. and made to understand, that unless they vote a certain way they will not possess their jobs on the day after election. All these things are wrong and should be done away with. They will be largely discounted if college men take up the work of politics, not for any personal gain or position but

NO LOVE LIKE THE OLD.

It is perhaps not going too far to
 say that William Howard Taft is the
 real beloved of our Ex-Presidents.
 Since there are but two of them and
 the other one is Theodore Roosevelt the assertion may seem cruel on the surface Analysed, however, it is seen that the natures of the men are different and where the one invites love the other thrives on something more snappy. These two men of ab- solutely extreme natures, once friends, have been parted for some time past
 Their differences and the causes that brought them to disagreement are known wherever men gather For political reasons now they are to be brought together. On the third day of next month in sumptuously pactfier, Elihu Root, will introduce the two chara to each other, they will shake hands, ostensibley let by zones be by-gones, and be friends once again That is the picture part of it, arranged for the delight of the multitude. If we have our guess though, William Howard Taft will have none of Theodore Roosevelt. He finished with him four years ago. The cut has been too deep to be healed by a mere hand-shake in the presence of political mediators, even when so estimab1e gentlemen as Elihu Root undertakes the introductions There is no love like the old love, thar when gone can never be brought back.

A GREAT EDITOR DIES.
Horace White Was One of the Old
 Guard of Independents.

Of the great editors of newspapers who challenged the political abuses of the period which eliminated in 1272 Horace White, who died in New York city Saturday, at the age of 82, was the last but one. E. l.. Godkin of the New York Nation, William Gull len Bryant of the New York Evening Post. Murat Halstead of the Cincin- natl Commercial and Samuel Bowles of The Republican are long dead. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal, democrat, still lives and does his work as of old but the rest of the old guard of editors who individualized their newspapers in way scarcely possible now are no more Other distinguished editors, ike Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun, were not conspicuous as leaders in reform movements, and after their participation in the repub lican bolt of 1872 which led to the disastrous nomination of Horace Greeley for president, partisanship laid hold on MT. Halstead, and White ont.
 MT. Whites life was devoted to newspaper work. He reported the Lincoln Douglas debate in Illinois, and was the friend of Abraham Lin- coin until the death of the great emancipator. As editor of the Chi cago Tribune from 1864 to 1874 MT.
