MRS. JONES GIVES ADDRESS.

The citizens of Malta who attended
The lecture Sunday evening at the
odd Fellows hall listened attentive-
" for nearly two hours to Mrs
Minona Jones Of Chicago, who spoke
on temperance and against prohi-
bition. Whether one is for the wet
or dry side of the question they can
not help but admire the lady for she
handled the subject in very force
able manner and gave the audience
much food for thought. She opened
her address by stating she did not
apologize for being on the side of the
the question she was on, and that
she was an American and thoroughly
americanized, a woman whose an
cestors came to New England in
1885, and that she held true to the
American ideals for which her an
cestors had fought She said "where
prohibition had been fastened upon a
state it had been farce and failure
and that according to Hobson the
consumption of liquor had been
steadily on the increase for the past
twenty years. That proof was ample
to show that prohibition does not
prohibit and in her opinion we
should quit passing prohibition laws
and start temperance crusade, as
temperance means self control and
prohibition means some one else has
control over you"
This was the opening talk for
those who contend the state should
remain in the wet column and will
be followed by others from time to
time.

one million foreigners from Europe
Some of them were bad men, for our
immigration laws are defective. but
the great mass of them were strong
and brave and true, just such men

have come in recent years, and whose
memories still magnify the loveliness

governments of thise lands. Would
we not be the same way if we were

Of course, there are some foolish

J RANKIN
FOR CONGRESS.

Jeannette Rankin, candidate fo1
congress on the republican ticket, is
making a phenominal campaign all
over the state, and it seems as if
Montana will undoubtedly have the
honor OF sending the first woman
representative to Washington.
Wherever she has appeared on the
platform, large audiences and enthu-
siastic applause have attested the
popularity of the woman to whom
woman's suffrage in Montana is
largely due. Miss Rankin was ac-
corded one of the largest votes ever
given candidate on the state ticket
at the recent primaries, and a large
per centage of this came from the
men as we'll as the women in recog-
milton OF her great ability.
1t is also conceded that she will
receive many democratic and inde-
pendent votes, as we'll as republican,
In view of the we'll known work she
did for suffrage. Her election is gen.
orally conceded by all parts of the
state.
II elected to congress, Miss Rankin
will work the farm loan law. equal
taxation, state and national prohi-
bition, national woman's suffrage,
and protective laws for children.
She has also done extensive study
ing OF the laws of other countries,
and will endeavor to assist in obtain
ing the best possible for the United
States. She has lived in Washing
ton and is thoroughly acquainted
with the workings of congress, and
Montana will make no mistake in
sending so able representative.
Besides her work for suffrage, she
has studied industrial and social con-
ditions in almost every state in the
union; and will be fitted to consider
laws for the amelioration of long
working hours for women, better
quency educational questions, and
improvement of sanitation laws and
conditions governing children.
Miss Rankin was born in Mon
tana and is graduate of the Uni
versity of Montan. and of a New
York school.
Ii Montana sends Miss Rankin as
the first congress- woman" to Wash
ington, the state will take another
step forward in the lime light of
progress; and the eyes of the nation
will be turned in approval on an act
which recognizes ability in its ad
mirble womanhood.

Walter e. Krueger of the Agricul-

Commercial club at a supper given
Monday night. 1t was planned on
having luncheon, and plans had
been made for luncheon, but on ac-
count of the train being six hours
late it had to be abandoned and the
supper substituted. Mr.. Krueger
spoke very interestingly and con-
vincingly on the necessity of diver
sified farming, and strongly urged
the Importance of raising alfalfa,
stock and corn, as in that way the
fertility of the farm could be kept
up. He spoke on Tuesday to an in
terested crowd of farmers at the
Phillips County fair, where he urged
the necessity of the county agent if
the farmers were to get the most

Pray and Edwards
En|i&hten Voters
Large Crowd Hear Republican Speakers
At |. 0. O. F. Hall Saturday Night

Camping close on the itinerary of
Gov. Sam v. Stewart in his political
tour of the state, Frank j. Edwards,
republican candidate for governor
and Charles N. Pray. republican can
didate for the senate, from Montana,
made their appearance nj Malta,
Saturday evening, after Gov. Stew
art and Harry Mitchell held demo-
cratic meeting.
The large Odd Fellows hall was
we'll filled with an appreciative and
attentive audience and from their
remarks it is very evident that the
two gentlement believe in camping
hot on the trails of their opponents.
1t is to be regretted that the OPEN
ing address of Charles N. Pray could
not have been heard by every voter
and taxpayer in Phillips county. 1t
was a powerful argument, backed
up by undisputable facts and deliv-
cred in an Oritorical and fOrceful
manner.
Commencing with the initial acts
of the Wilson administration and
following them down to date, he con-
vinced his audience that in all ques-
tions of national or international
Importance the administration S
method of coping with them had been
weakened and vaccilating and
plainly showed evidence of coward
ice, discrimination and favoritism.
He left no doubt in the minds of his
hearers that the Underwood tariff
bill was responsible for the heavy
war tax now imposed and the money
thus derived is being used as a cloak
by the administrati ation forces and a
subsidized democratic press in be-
quilting the public into believing that
it is prosperity.
The Presidents Mexican policy
was vigorously assailed and the high
cost of living, with prices on the nee
essities of life still soaring, was ham
uleu without gloves, reduction OF
the cost Of living being one Of the
first yet unfulfilled pledges of the ad-
ministration AS a public speaker
Senator Pray attracts by his person
aiity, and his dignified bearing and
manly way inpresenting facts.
The people of Montana need an
able exponent of their rights and
needs in the senate chambers of the
government a man like Senator Pray
and to return him to his seat in that
body would show an appreciation OF
his past achievements for the good
OF the state and serve as an incentive
towards further efforts in our behalf.
Senator Pray was followed by the
next governor of Montana, Frank j.
Edwards, who conclusively proved
the need of reform in the handling
OF the state affairs, especially in mat
ters closely related to the business
management of the capitol building.
Mr.. Edwards is a native of Mon
tana and has been business man at
Helena for the past twenty-five years
and was mayor of that city for a
number of terms, and has always
taken an active part in matters per-
tanning to the welfare Of the state
and it was through his personal ef-
forts that a reduction of grain rates
on the Great Northern was made for
shippers for his part of the state.
BY electing Mr.. Edwards as gov
ernor of Montana, the interests of
all classes will be served and that he

Community SPIRIT AND
PERSONAL OPPOSITION

with apologies to George Ade.)
Once upon a time in small COM
'nunity in the U. S. the growth OF the
town and an nufit school building
made necessary the erection of new
school building. So there was a
special election, the district was
Donded and new school house was
built out in the corner of the town.
In fact the new building was so far
out in the corner of thehous-e fluit
out that the peoplee who lived in
that vicinity had not got around to
put in walks.
Now there was in this town city
council, presided over by a mayor.
There was at the time of the election
a newspaper in that town. There was
a school board and a principal of
schools. All of these people saw the
need of a fit walk, but as the school
house was completed in the fall it
was deemed too late to put them in
then.
Another summer came. The school
children had waded through mud
and snow for six months. Many had
missed school OH account of sickness
due to exposure. Everybody expect
ed something would be done. But
when the school opened in the fall
there was still the same old stretch
OF mud and water between down
town and school. The attention of
the public was called to the condi-
tions through the columns of the
the newspaper that had been in ex-
lstance at the time OF building the
ed. Again for the sake of children
all appeal was made through the
school notes, which was seconded by
the editor of the before mentioned
paper. This editor lived near the
school house, but having an auto
the missing link in the sidewalk did
not seriously y annoy him. He merely
wished ito call attention to that
which was obviously the duty of the
city dads.
Now in the period between the
bond election and the completion of
the school house, new editor
breezed into town and began to edit
paper. and when the first editor
took up the sidewalk question for the
good of the community, the second
editor accused him of using the ham
illeT, ana airing local aHalrS around
the state. He said that the matter
should be taken up quietly with the
city council, as much as to say, that
these aentlement were ignorant OF
the childrens needs. Thus, what

Phillips County
Fair Big Success
thousands Attend First Annual Fair At
DOdSOn This Week

The directors of the First Annual
Phillips County fair were wise in
postponing the days of their biz
show until this week, as it has turned
out to be one of the best weeks of
the year and consequently they have
had bigger crowds and more exhibits
The fair at Dodson opened bright
and early Monday morning and the
regular program of the day was car
rled out in full. Malta sent a large
delegation up the first day and many
nave gone up every day of the fair,
| and they have all been we'll repaid
for their trouble.
The fair grounds at Dodson are To-
Gated a few yards north of the sta
ton ON fine piece of ground which
the fair association has gone to the
expense OF improving. A large and
substantial grand stand was erected
an dthe entire half-mile race track
fenced as was portion of the out
side enclosure. The room under the
grand stand has been fitted up for
the display of the fancy work and
school exhibits. A part of the room
is partltlOned Oft for rest room for
the ladies with children.
At the west end of the grounds are
the sheds for the livestock and the
poultry room. This department was
we'll taken care of and every stall
contained some fine specimens of
Phillips county stock. Special men,
ton should be made of fine red
polled COW and her twin calves,
which took first prize for this grade
OF stock. We did not learn to whom
they belonged but the farmer in Phil
lips county that owns stock of this
calibre should be the proudest far
mer in the county. Another pretty
attraction down in the east end of
the grounds was mother Angora cat
and her four little kittens. They.
too, won Il blue ribbon. Nick

A feature of the fair daily was

The program each day was good,
every race being interesting and
great interest was taken in the auto
races.
The display of fancy work was
good for the short time the people
in charge had to gather it and the
exhibits from the various schools of
the county showed great care On the
part Of the teachers as we'll as pu-
pills. The Garrison school won a blue
ribbon for it's work at the fair.

Mr.. Wilson is telling his audiences
that if Mr.. Hughes is elected this
country will surely be involved in
war. Is not that direct appeal to
the coWardice of the American peo-
pie. The sentiment of the men OF
this country is that there should nev..
er be any war except for two reasons.
One is that the honor of the country
must be maintained, the other is that
the situation must be intolerable be-
fore war is justified. Mr.. Wilson
sent the feet to Vera Cruz. He said
it was to vindicate the honor of the
country and it's flag, though it was
difficult at the time to comprehend
why the circumstances justified his
position. He refused to even serve
notice Oh Mexico that unless murder
the border ceased, he would stop
them.
After that record it must require a
strange order of mind on his part to
imag if another president were
to take his place there surely would
be war. There has been no danger
of war with any European state since
the war began.
There is liable to be danger when
the war ceases.
Imagine Russia and Japan in close
alliance, and determined to partition
China between them even as they
have already absorbed Manchura and
Mongolia; there really would be dam
ger. Imagine western Europe and
Great Britain in close alliance. drawn
together through fear Of the designs
Of Russia and Japan. and then i'm
agine their reaching the conclusion
that the want lands in South Am
erica and money from the United
States on account OF what is due
their citizens in Mexico, which, while
they were involved in war, the
United States permitted to carry on
d war Of loot and murder, year after
year, what might not happen? Then
imagine the position we would be in
with Mr. Wilson president!
But the above are only possible
dangers. There is another far more
obvious. With the tariff annihilated
and factories closed and no mer~
chant marine to handle our ocean
commerce, what is to happen when,
the war closed, the hordes of Europe
begin to pour in and to enter into
union labor?
Has Mr. Wilson ever thought Of
that? If he ever has he has never
given any sign of it, Or what he
would do were that situation to ma
terialize, though that it is coming is
far more probable than any foreign
war.
