to the real and vital issues
of the present political campaign,
which most deeply concern the peo-
pie engaged in agriculture and the
wage earners. The great need of
Montana, it was pointed out, was the
control of state government by the
masses instead of by powerful spec

political manipulators.
The crowd was big one, includ-

from Wolf Point, and the ball game
was thoroughly enjoyed and the ad-
dresses listened to with marked at

at Helena than one or more bold bur-
glars enter Kruger Bros. store on
Third street and get away with silks,
shoes, an Elgin watch, and probably
goods of other descriptions, of an es-
timated value of S400.
The robbery occurred Wednesday
morning at about three o'clock. The
brothers live in rooms in the rear of
the store and one of them was awak-
ened by noise, but supposed it was
one of his brothers out in the store
on some errand. A little later, be-
coming suspicious that something
might be wrong, he looked out into
the store and saw a man who quickly
made his escape through the front
door which was not locked No clue
as to the burglars has yet been pick

LODGED IN COUNTY JAIL

of Wolf Point several years ago,
showed up here again last week and
upon advice Of state and county au-
thorities was placed in Jail by Chief
Kearney, who expects that the Sher-

Jail at Mondak tomorrow
When Connors first lived here he
was declared insane and taken to the
state asylum at Warm Springs. 1t
is not known if he was discharged
from the asylum or wandered away.
When advised that he was here, the
superintendent of the asylum in
structed the sheriff to have Connors
taken into custody if necessary.
Sheriff Nacey alvised Chief Kear-
ney to keep tab on Connors and ar
rest him if he acted in a manner
that justified it. The chief kept
close watch and found that Connors
was sleeping in the school house and
had made arrangement to buy a re-
volver and had paid SO on it at
local hardware. The cheif immed-
lately arrested him and lodged him
in the local Jail.

At normal times and in ordinary
circumstances The Herald much pre-
fers to be merely a news and adver-
tising medium; to find all the good
local news it can and serve it to its
big family of readers, bright side up,
to boost faithfully for Wolf Point
and Montana ,and avoid dipping its
oar into the murky political waters.
Not that The Herald ever desires to
be colorless, or leave the public in
doubt as to where it stands, or to
shun the responsibility that goes with
definite convictions, but that peace
and harmony are greatly preferred
to friction and strife, as they are of
greater benefit to the community and
the country
