ance of Washington. Destined for this
high career, he was fitted for 1t by
wisdom by virtue, by patriotism. by
discretion, by whatever can inspire
confidence in man toward man. In en-
tering on the untried scenes, early dis
appointment and the premature eX-
tinction of all hope of success would
have been certain, had it nOt been
that there did exist throughout the
country, in a most extraordinary de-
gree, an ~unwavering trust in him who
stood at the helm
Wisdom, virtue, patriotism and dis
cretiOn-such are the qualities
ascribed by Webster to the first Presi-
dent. There are many others quite as
foreign to the typical revolutionary
character, such as calmness, serenity,
moderation and deliberation. But he
was more and greater than a revolu-
ZIONIST, for he was a builder and Gre
ator. His problem was, not simply the
creation of a nation, but the molding
of a people into one. He was the very
embodiment of the principle Of self
government, for he was his own mas
ter. Lowell says of him:
Soldier and statesman, rarest unison;
High-poised example of great duties done.
Simply as breathing, a worlds honors
worn
AS life's indifferent gifts to all men born;
Modest, yet firm as natures self; un-
blamed

Washington.
Such a character as this cannot be
too closely or carefully studied by peo-
pie living under democratic institu-
lions, especially in times like these.
For If democracy is to govern the
world, it must be a clean, sound,
high-souled and true democracy. 1t
has been said that Washington was
born in a great tradition, and that he
was its champion and defender. The
liberty for which he stood. and for
which the American people must
stand, has been developing, mostly in
an orderly way, for a thousand years.
1t was no gift bestowed at once and
in all its %fullness. Men have for gen
e%rations toiled, fought and died for it,
and built institutions to guard it. Our
liberty is liberty under the law, the
liberty of men capable of governing
others because capable of governing
themselves. 1t is constitutional and
institutional, and not a mere senti.
ment-and it is, with men of our race.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
~THE THE men
AAANN Montana his
knk3xAN@@@<@aHHN tory immedi-
4zEa~AzGlST ately brings
NS%F8ZW to mind the
NSSSGV Custer Mas
49, sacre as one
of the most dramatic incidents
in Indian warfare. 1t occurred
in 1876, the Centennial year,
when special emphasis was be-
ing laid on the cause of peace
throughout the world. The
Sioux Indians had been driven
into Montana by the gold miners,
and the United States govern
lnent took steps to force them
back into their reservations. Gen
eral Custer, with less than 300
men, set out to round up the
tribes which were on the war
path, and at the Little Bighorn
river, was ambushed by Sitting
Bull and 5000 warriors. Custer
and all his troopers were killed.
Soon after this massacre the In
dams were defeated and many
of them fed to Canada.
Gold was discovered in Mon
tana as early as 1852 by the half
breed Francois Finlay near He'll
Gate river. This, however, ere
ated little stir and it wasn't I'M
til five years later when John
Silverthorn discovered gold in
quantities, that mining settle
mentS sprang up in the noun
tains. This region had been part
of Nebraska territory, which in
1868 was subdivided and became
a portion of Idaho territory. The
next year it was organized as
the separate Territory of Mon
tana.
Virginia City was the capital
and here in 1860 was issued the
Montana Post, the first newspa-
per of the state. In 1874 the
capital was changed to Helena
and ten years later a state con-
stitution was adopted. The state
was not taken into the Union,
however, until 1889.
Montana comes from the Span
ish adjective meaning 'moun-
famous" Its area is 1863
square miles, making il the third
largest state of the Union.

CITY Budget
nils FOR CUTS IN
ALL DEP ARTMENTS
Commissioners Dickson and
EChoIS Hardest Hit--No In
crease in Police and Fire
Departments

While all the departments of the
city will be made to feel some reduc-
lions under the budget adopted by
the commission yesterday, those Of
Commissioner Dickson and Mrs.
Echols will bear the brunt of the
downward revision.
Commissioner Dicksons DEPART
ment will suffer slash of approx
mately$10, 900. The total reductions
An his department, distributed be-
tween garbage disposal, sewer clean
ing and repairing, stables. black

stated for in $4,000 increased ap-
propriations for paved streets main
of-way.
sOf an $500 reduction IN Mrs.
Tchols' department, $4,000 is from
nhe health department and $1,000
from the department OF relief and
correction.
Slight reductions were made in the
departments of Commissioner Nc
Lendon and Commissioner Harrison.
Appropriations for the fire and police
departments of Commissioner Cloe
will remain the same as for tho past
year. This will mean substantially
a curtailment of revenue, however,
for these two departments went con-
siderably over the budget the past
year, and were aided out of the ap-
propriations of other departments.
-tAs . Paving Assessments
-The fact that the city has about
finished refunding street paving as
sessments, saved further slashing in
all departments. According to the
new budget, $4,000 will be retained
DIN the treasury during the next year
which went to reducing paving as
sessments last year The amount
provided for that purpose last year
was $4,000. while the new budget
provides for S34.0 0.
AT the same fine, however. there
are some s6S.o00 added expenses for
the coming year, which materially
reduced the revenue available for the
various departments. OF this amount
$4,000 is to pay the city's portion
OF the IWenty-lirst street Nlauuct,

goes to the school fund.
In revenue, there is a reduction or
$4,000 from last year in real and
personal taxes, $4,000 in licenses,
$1,000 from East Lake Park, and mis-
cellaneous losses of about $4,000.
The total shirnkage from last year
is something like $4,000.
Total amount of estimated revenue
is s4,179,110, including that which
goes to the sinking fund and to the

budget appropriations shave the
estimated revenue by less than $1,000
Salary of Comptroller
One item which was left unsettled
yesterday was the salary of the city
comptroller. The budget as read pro-
vided for a salary of $4,000 year but
Commissioner Harrison interposed
the objection that it was understood
when the present commission went
in that the salary should be $4,000.
President McLendon explained that
for years the position of city comp
troIler has paid a salary of $4,000,
and he urged that it be re-fixed at
that figure. 1t was said that the
past year was the first in long
time when less than 5000 was paid
the comptroller.
Upon motion of Mrs. Echols' this
point was left open until Commits
sioner Dickson returns. 1t will be
brought UP for vote at the regular
meeting of the commission next Tues
day.
