Sugar Duty Retained.

The Senate in caucus has rece-
ded from its position on the sugar
bill and agreed to accept the House
measure to repeal the clause of the
Underwood tariff bill which provi-
ded for free sugar May LIST. A vote
was taken last Saturday and the
one ceut duty continues indifnite-
ly.
There was never a better pros
pect in Louisiana for a large cane
crop than the present. The stand
of the new plant is perfect and
growing nicely. The stubble crop
is also good and promises a large
yield.
If present prices for sugar are
maintained till the crop is harves-
ted the farmer should get more
per ton for his cane than was ever
known in the history of the indus
try. 1t is to be hoped that the
promise will be realized. Business
in all lines in the sugar district is
bad; a bumper crop with big prices
for cane ought to bring about the
return of prosperity to badly de-
viled section. Also it ought to
bring raise of wage to the labor
er, will it?- Jeanerette Herald.

SENATOR SURVANT PREDICTS
REPUBLICANS SURE TO WIN

Senator John Survant, of Malta,
was visitor in Glasgow Thursday,
stopping over for the day from a
return visit made through the eastern
states. The Senator stated that while
the political pot is boiling everywhere
and there are many predictions as
to the results of the election this fall,
it is his opinion that the election OF
Chas. f. Hughes to the Presidency Is
foregone conclusion.
Republicanism is the strong force
everywhere in the opinion of Mr.. Sur
want, and the expressions of belief
in the ability of Hughes to properly
handle the affairs of this great na-
ton, which he heard on every side
causes him to be very optimistic as
to the results. He not only believes
the Republicans will win in the Ma
tional election this fall but he is vers
strong in the belief that the state vii
also be placed in that column wher
the votes are counted. AS \ mar
Of wide experience and sound judg
ment the confidence he displays in th'
! future welfare of the Republican, par
ty is worthy Of proper consideration

himself the highest praise from the
law abiding people and undying hat
cred from those who would have an
official wink at their misdeeds. AS
Republican candidate for Governor OF
Montana he is making a whirlwind
campaign with most convincing line
Of argument.
Frank J. Edwards has successfully
upheld the rights Of the people of this
state ever since he has entered pub
lie life. For the farmer he has Sc
cured reduction in grain rates from
points in Montana to the Twin Cities.
He compiled figures which caused the
Great Northern Railway Company to
reduce their rates in certain parts OF
the state. His platform is "that all
legislation that will aid and encourage
! the farmer and the farming industry
in Montana will be given first atten-
ton"
The meeting, will be one worth at
tending as both speakers are capable
men who can present their arguments
in an enlightened discussion of the
political issues and interest their hear
ers.

TRAPPER TAKEN
BY GAME WARDEN
Deputy Game Warden Burke
Catches Law Breaker.
WAS TRAPPING BEAVER
When Arrested Chas. Hart Had Sew
eral Fresh Beaver Skins in
His Possession.

Chas. Hart, from nowhere, was ar
rested last Friday by Deputy Game
Warden Geo. F. Burke, and Deputy
Sheriff VIM. Dickman upon a charge
of illegally having in his possession
number of beaver hides. He was
brought before Judge Evans on Sat-
urday for hearing, and after plead
ing not guilty he changed the plea to
guilty and was senteced to serve six
months in the cunty Jail. After
severe lecture delivered by Judge Ev-
ans he was paroled pending his good
behavior.
The arrest of Hart by Deputy
Game Warden Burke was a very inn
portant one as the beaver in the Por-
cupine are not numerous and the law
making it crime to trap or kill these
animals is strictly enforced. A short
time ago reports were made that
someone was trapping beaver on the
upper fork of the Porcupine and an
.
! Mr. Burke He found sufficient evil
dence to warrant arresting Hart and
assisted by Deputy Dickman the man
was taken and brought to Jail. At
Wrist Hart proclaimed his innocence
and appeared much incensed at hav-
ing been arrested. He plead not
guilty and was insistent upon stand
ing trial but when Game Warden
Burke produced part of the evil
dence collected he quickly changed
his plea to that of guilty.
Judge Evans then pronounced SEN
tence and as Hart appeared to show
the proper realization Of the crime
, committed he was given straight
plain talk by the Judge who offered
to give the man chance if he wanted
it. Hart agreed to lead law abid
ing life in the future if allowed t.
: do so and the Judge paroled him.

THE TRAGEDY OF WAR
MASTERFULLY PRESENTED

In his never-to- be- forgotten spec
tacle, "The Birth OF A Nation, which
is sched lied for presentation at the
Orpheum on October 18th and 14th,
u. ". Griffith, the worlds master
producer has painted the grim trag-
edy of war in the livid colors it de-
serves.
1t is thrilling and awe-inspiring
rcyisitation cf war-war in Al it's cru
elites, we ehold not only the tragedy
on the fell of battle, where fall the
dead and &, ing, but in the nome where
wait the aged parents and little bro
ther and sister, or daughter or son,
for the message that too often comes
telling that the dear one has died for
the f1ag-the stars and stripes, or
the banner of blue with the single
star.
On goes the story. 1t pictures the
departing of the boy from home
gay, light hearted, happy. 1t shows
him dying under the fire of the enemy
in the miles of flame streaked trench
es, over which bursting shells carry
death to the little force so gallantly'
defending the line of earth works
and over which shrek the deadly
shrapnel.
1t is all there-the desperate de-
fense, the determined assault, the
fierce charge, the disasterous retreat
the field covered with the dead, as
men in gray and blue fall by scores
and hundreds.
Daylight fades, and still the fight
goes on. The scene is illuminated
by bursting shells, the blaze from the
mouths of big guns and the red glare
from burning homes. The blue of
the flag of the south flutters here,
while there the red, white and blue
of the nations emblem shows through
the smoke in the red tinge of battle
flame.
These are but a few of the myriads
of chickering's Of our national travail
in its new birth that are shown in
this sublime, grand, impressive spec
tacle.

up and the visitor remarked that he

will be held there for about two

Word has been received by many of
the parents and friends of the boys
in Glasgow that they were all ready
to make the return trip to the state
as soon as the cars ordered for them
were at their disposal and it is ex-
pected they will be at Fort Harrison
within few days. Adjutant Cen
eral Greenan has been busy for sew
eral days preparing for the accommo-
dation Of the regiment at the Fort,
so that they can go into camp there
pending mastering out.
1t is expected that the End Regi-
ment will be mustered out of service
ard disbanded and that Immediately
thereafter will be formed the Bird
Regiment Montana National Guards
to replace it. If this procedure CO.
ours it will be necessary to recruit
new companies to supercede all those
composing the End Montana and the
work will be pushed along without
delay. Many towns and cities hav-
ing no representation in the present
regiment are desirous of having q
company of national guardsmen anc
it will no doubt be an easy matter
to form the new organization. Ad
jutant General Greenan will visit the
various cities during the month Of
November looking after the work OF
recruiting the new regiment.
