The opium monopoly is a British

interspersed with wonder as to what
new relatives of the mayor had ar
rived in Butte and were in need Of
well-paying jobs as city chauffeurs.
Others derided that report and said
the new car for the mayor was due
to his desire to enjoy the evening
breezes on the canyon roads sur
rounding Butte during the warm
summer evenings.
A measure introduced presumably
at the instance of the mayor, would
abolish the present metropolitan
police system and substitute for it
the old "spoils system of two de-
cades ago. Under this old-new pro-
posal, the mayor would be enabled
to carry out his apparent intention
Cf discharging practically every
present member of the police force
to make places for particular favor
ties of his own, irrespective of quail
ficationg.
Freudenstein interposed vigorous
objection to this plan, declaring il
would set back the hands on the
clock Of city progress 20 years and
would make the police department
an instrument of oppression, graft
and corrupt politics. Freudenstein
declared that if the measure was

Cox will be allowed to take over the
democratic party leadership without
resistance from the Wilson admins
tration, according to all indications.
High democratic officials from Will

A significant circumstance is that
there is no word OF criticism of Cox

the attitude Of the administration is
that Wilson's followers wrote the

The upper age of civilization known as the age
OF modern industry began with the appearance of the
electric motor.
M Faraday, in 1881, discovered that an electrical
conductor when moved in a magnetic field would
generate an eectromove force 1t was this discovery
which made commercial electricity as source of motive
force possible The of electricity as motive-force
was brought into commercial use about the year 1868
The economic urge underlying the development of
commercial electrical power is to be found in the con-
centraton of people in vast industrial establishments
with the consequent need of quick frequent and smoke

nomic urge forced the introduction of electromotve
