as follows:
"Harry B. Mitchell, the candidate

tana, though he cannot claim so wide

has lived in Montana for more than a
quarter of century, and during all
that time he has been acquiring
knowledge of the state, its public af-
fairs and its public needs. This

eous position to speak with authority
and full knowledge of the man

Mr.. Mitchell during large part OF
his residence in Montana. 1t is with

of Schools.
Miss Mabel G. Reed is the only
lady seeking election to an office in
Dawson county on the democratic
ticket, which fact adds refinement
and grace to the ticket. The election
of a lady to this Office is one Of the
most appropriate features connected
with our system of state and county
government. Many people are oppos-
ed to women holding public office, but
practically everyone agrees to the sin

1t gives The Gazette more than
usual pleasure to recommend the can
didates for the county Offices to the
qualified electors of Dawson county.
Since the beginning of the primary
campaign there has been harmony
among Dawson county democrats on
every proposition that has come up
for the consideration of the voters
and the members of the party. Unlike
the republican party, there are none
who assume to dictate to others what
shall or what shall not be done in
matters affecting the interests of the
party. Prior to the primary election,
there were no contests for any of the
offices except for that for the nomina-
tion for sheriff, and the defeated can
didate has with the true instinct of a
staunch democrat declared himself
for his successful opponent. Dawson
county democracy is not loaded down
with cliques or leaders" and those
who have to be consulted before
man decides to run for a nomination.
This is attested by the fact that
nearly all of the candidates are farm
ers and in the instances where they
are not identified with the rural pop
plation, there were no contests for
the nominations. If elected to the
offices which they seek, all of the can
didates will make every effort to con-
duct the affairs of the county in
manner of which every taxpayer will
be justified in taking great pride. The
Gazette will here endeavor to give the
readers a slight bit of information /
each candidate:

Holding Up the Mail.

In the days when bandits held up the mail
in the West, the United States government
stopped the nuisance, not by sending protests
but by ordering armed forces into the bandit in
tested territory.
Nowadays foreign nations hold up American
mail on the high seas and all Uncle Sam does
is to send note of protest. The other day an
nouncement was made at London that the
American ambassador had delivered protest
regarding the detention and censoring of Ameri-
can mail and simultaneously came report that
the British had seized 1856 bags of mail, bound
from New York to Bergen, Norway.
The administration might abandon watch

on the interference with our mail service.

beneficial results have been commented on favor
ably throughout the state. Now comes Winthrop
D. Lane of the Survey Staff, a journal of socio-
logy and philanthropy, with the following praise:
Indiana has long hated her jails For a
score of years investigations, newspaper ex-
posures and all the artillery of denunciation
availed nothing against these agencies of vice
and training schools of crime Now, by the
simple expedient of providing wholesome,
bracing substitute, Indiana is literally starving
her jails and warehouses; out of existence. Some
that heretofore aspired to a nightly population
of eight or ten now find themselves caring for
only two or three.
IF the besetting evil of jails is idleness, the
outstanding virtue of this farm community is
industry" he says, and he goes into considerable
detail in describing the activities at the farm,
which he says are more educative. more like the

prisoners as wage earners, than is large part

Stopping Another Abuse
Sf -: y 45{f8${E

Once upon a time there was a
Queen to whom the stork brought
little daughter.
The King, however, wanted 4 little
son, and when the Queen saw the
little girl, she was afraid to show her
to the King.
So she took her to an old witch who
lived in a cave long way inside a
mountain and asked her to take care
of her baby girl and bring her up to
be a good woman.
The witch was a very good witch
and she grew very fond of the little
girl.
She named her Stella and she taught
her to be q good girl as we'll as wise.
SO that when Stella grew up she could
read the fortunes of many people in
the stars.
Now the Queen always visited the
witch once a year, for she loved her
baby and only gave her up through
fear of doing her harm. When she
saw how beautiful Stella grew each
year she tried to think of some way
she could have her daughter near her
and not have the King know it was
his daughter.
BY and by the King grew old and he
was afraid the stork would not bring
him a son, so he sent for distant rel
alive who had son and gave him
bag of gold to let him adopt his son.
The relative consented and the King
made the son a Prince and his heir.
When the Prince became q man the
King said to him one day: II have not
long to live and I want to see you set
tied in life before die. Go out over
{~l vnyffA -h0 fc
suited to be your queen and bring her
to me-"
So the Prince started out, but be-
fore he left the castle the Queen said
to him: go to the mountain on the op-
posite side of the woods from here and
YOU will find a cave. In this cave the
daughter can read your fate in the
stars. Consult her; It may help you
find a WIFE"
The Queen thought If the Prince saw
the beautiful girl he might fall In love
with her, SO she hurried off to the
cave herself by a shorter route and
took with her a beautiful dress.
Put on this" she told Stella: 'the
Prince is coming to you to have his
fortune read in the stars. It is fitting
that you should be dressed properly
to receive him, but do not tell him
have been here.
BY and by the Prince and his SER
wants came riding to the cave and call
ed for the witch and her daughter.
When he beheld Stella he got off his
horse. and. taking off his hat, he bent
low before her. "Can 1t be that you are
the daughter Of q witch?" he asked
when they were alone. you look more
like the daughter of king"
But Stella only blushed and hung
her head, she really did not know
what he meant, but to have a young
and handsome man speak to her was
something that had never happened be-

Advertising America.

Before the war, the transatlantic steamship
companies knew the value of advertising the ad-
vantages of European travel and they never let
a chance go by to picture the educational advan-
tages and the recreation derived from trip
abroad
Submarines, big cannons, trench fighting and
sieges have stopped travel in Europe. Attention
has been turned to the unseen scenic marvels of
the United States. The railroads finally have
been aroused to the advantage of advertising
America far and wide. Trans-continental lines
are enjoying heavy traffic. They want more of
it, and they are beginning to start educational
and publicity campaigns e. ...,-.->- =. >.+
The railroads are now awake to a source of
revenue formerly enjoyed by the steamship COM
panies. It took then long time to see it.
