Egg Harbor City team, champions
of the Atlantic County League, played
Melrose on Sunday afternoon, at At

piled a coat of w%hitewash to the Wine
City champions.
Lou Crist was imported from Cam

He permitted only two scattered bin
giles, one in the second and another

eating out of his paw.

ROYAL FAMILY In
1.-THE CHRISTIAN"

A whole royal family in one NOV.
ing picture.
1t often happens that the ''gelatine
king of Rutland, Nebraska, gratiies
a whim to which wealthy persons are
subject, and appears before the NOV
lie camera; or the Sweater queen
of Scranton may be discovered play
ing extra parts incog. But the royal
ties which will be seen in "The
Christian" at the Liberty theatre on
Thursday and Friday are not de-
pendent for their titles upon com
mercial ratings and American jour
nalists. They are no less personages
than Their Majesties the King and
Queen of England, and H. R. H. The
Prince of Wales, who will be easily
recognized in scenes taken in Lon
don and on the road to Epson Down
race track on the day of the great
Derby.
The great thing is the supreme air
of verisimilitude of the scenes taken
in the exact locations of the novel,
on the Isle of Man, in London, and
in other parts of the British Isles.

STOCKING CELLER SHELVES

Our local merchants, who have
been cooperating in the handling OF
western fruit, have disposed, almost
completely of three carloads OF
choice fruit, melons and vegetables
The heavy crop of fruit has almost
glutted the market and the effort to
realize something on these perishable
goods has resulted in some very good
prices to and an unusual
amount of canning is being done.
The cooperative methods of Neut

preciated by the housewives.

The cause alleged in these various
injunction proceedings for thus set
ting aside the constitutional amend
ment, ratified by the people last No
vember by $4,000 majoriy, is the al
legged fact that a clerk of the Mon
tana state senate of two years ago,
which was so absolutely controlled by
these same mining and power COM
panies, had mot spread the proposed
constitutional amendment in full on
its journal"
Upon this fimsy pretext of fine
spun technicality the work of the tax
commission has been enjoined and
the revenues of the state crippled.
And this despite the fact that he SUI
preme court of Montana has twice
in recent years directly held that it
would not look beyond the roll call
of the ayes and noes in legislative
journals to search for some minimum
of technicality that might be invoked
to defeat the plain expressed will of
the people of Montana.
The wonder is that the recent NUT
terings of a coming storm heard in
Minnesota and Iowa and Nebraska
and Kansas and even heard here in
corporation-controled Montana, ap-
parently brings no lesson of wisdom
to the local directors of the policies
of our nonresident landlords in New
York City. 1t may be that their one

The issue is joined. There can
be no retreat. Neither private citi-
zen nor public official in Montana
can longer evade the contest that
now directly presents itself.
The challenge of arrogant, con-
centrated wealth has been thrown
down to the people of this state.
Shall the people of Montana OF u
alien landlords control the govern

When the famous Justification as
sessment for taxation law was en-
acted by the legislature six years agc
it was written that railroads, banks.
power companies, telephone and EEL
egraph lines should be assessed a
40R valuation, livestock and mer-
chandise at 80 1-3 per cent, land at
80 per cent, money and stocks at 7
per cent. At least that was supposed
to be the law until the recent SUI
preme court decision that if stocks
and bonds were held by a Montana
resident in New York they were not
subject to even the 7 per cent ASSES
ment.
1t now appears from the statement
of the Montana Power company Off
Gals that the tax commission had re-
Gently ascertained the fact that the
power company, during all these past
wears had, notwithstanding the ex-
press 40 per cent classification, been
returning their great dam properties
to the local assessors under the 30
per cent clause uHueT Che CiSOly
that dams are ''real estate"
The power company officials we're
deeply incensed with the action of
the tax commission in putting their
dams under the 40 per cent clause.
Insult was added to injury in the
eliminating crime of the tax com
mission fixing the tentative value of
the power company at S61,0OO,OO
in lieu of the old $45 100000 as
sessment.
Is it any wonder then that pa
tience finally ceases to be a virtue
with our nonresident landlords at
this heretofore unheard-of invasion
