THE MONTANA PLAINDEALER IN UNION THERE TRENGTH. The Editor's Song. How dear to my heart is the steady subscriber; Who pays in advance without skipping a year; Who takes out his dollar and offers it gladly. And casts 'round the office a hall of cheer. Who never says "stop it, I can't afford it." Or "getting more papers each day than I read." But always says, "send it, the whole outfit, likes it. In fact we regard it as a buisness need." How welcome he is when he steps in the sanctum; How he makes our eyes fairly dance; How he makes our heart throb; We outwardly thank him and inwardly bless him. The steady subscriber who pays in advance. Exchange. Through an oversight last week he failed to credit the splendid article, which was contributed by Rc Bass of Pleasanton Kans., hence we reproduce the article in this weeks issue properly credited, Mr. Bass is one of the pioneers in that section a close observer who has always taken an advanced stand or the uplift of the race. In last Fridays Independent was an article on "Our Negro Citizens' which was in many ways a surprise to the masses of our people, because has been thought that the editor of this paper held antipathy and alice toward the race, of late the editor of this paper has had occasion to forego that opinion because a personal convention with the brilliant editor we have learned of is large acquaintance with our readers and we have received much comlyement and inspiration from its analysis of the status of the race and his stand in the article spoken is all right and we re introduce the same in another column. As a result of last Tuesday's election both in New York and Cleveland is at least a resentment of the brownsville sentence in so far as the colored brother figuies. Editor Montana Plaindealer; My late trip to Topeka Kana. The Capt. of this State while attending the convention of the National Negro Business League. Its procedure convinced me that we the American people are living in the progressive age this is the age of originality both the individual the race the State and the Nation's development at this age of rapid development in the literature in the arts and in the science it needs no second look to discover, no second thought to imply the belief that this recently should be called the age of originality the rapid growth of moderate invention with its adoption to the practical purpose of life while the world is now Revolutionizing itself it is also setting the minds of men and women at a drift in the rapid channel of thought and discovery for some new means of profitable and renuitive labor Nations though like as individual all vies with each other in the great struggle for preeminence and in the race for the first and finest footholds upon the domain of other lands and Nation with less known intelligence and skill and perhaps far less richly endowed with resource than themselves yet, however the wonderful progress of to-day clearly demonstrates the fact that nothing now seems to escape man and women suitable intellect ann divine power for le seemingly limitless brain when I wills to penetrate the deep bidden mysterious deliber action of some new fleds origin and discovery. We see no longer months of time apart as once ago. But instead of a few weeks at most sufficing to join the far distant points togeather Unite and make them as one while language itself requires no length of days and nights for its transubmisson and reception with kindered friends in lands remote bounds but minutes and seconds only one now required to transport hither and thither this great medium of communication whilst human voice in speech or songs are instrumental tones stikes upon the organ of our quickening sense as thou we were in the very midst of thier performance once yet seperated perhaps it may be at a far distant by hills and and miles started or country these are some of the wonders that are now being complained in the present progressive age. Truely then future told nothing impossible of the attainments of the boundless measures from the Amercian matchless geniosy and in the dispromotion of life and things as we see the human families growing weaker we also discover its growing wiser and over the wonderful force of nature and the achievements of all thing both terrestrial and celestial. It is of the present age that man and woman is proving themselves the master piece of creation as Divine Writ has told us centuries gone by. Who could have dreamed or thought much less believed thatthe American Negro be emancipated from under the iron heel of bondage 44 yrs. ago now pay x on 360 000 000, dollars which he does, saying nothing about his Church property, his and theological College Helena, Montana, Friday, November 15 1907 Four million of these Negroes were turned loose without house, home, farm, mony, education and even without names for theirselves. But the progress of 44 yrs. has put a different feature on the embarasing and surround4ng circumstance of their emancipation Conditions are rapidly improving, though it comes by an up hill way, the object of this National American Negroe Buiness League is to properly get before our people, the industrial walks of life as well as professional walks, it is to show that its not enough to be free after he learns something he must know something and then do something and to follow have something and be something. It is to show that the problem is now one of color but of ability in the annual. Cession we had reported 34 organized banking institutions ten of them in Miss. and Ga. run as successfully conducted as well as any banks in U.S. four hundred thirty four drug stores editors and undertakers too numerous to mention, men and women made their report to this convention from thirty thousand to one hundred seventy five thousand all of which has been accomplished in sight of 44 yrs. They didn't get this by loaning money through Nation Banks for they had no money to start with. No short essay of a few brief pages could do justice to the business to which I have referred to paper pen and time will never be able to tell it all but we will see and hear more in the future. Your humble servant. J. R. Bass. Pleasaton, Kans. THE PLAINDEALER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY? This column is such a hummer. Gus. Mason turned down one of Helena's charming dames. Some of our heretofore race men are trying to break away from their own. Dave Harris would have the facts in the case. The Rarebacks have outclassed the strutters. Mrs. Jeff. Harrison says it is all over. The east side wilder is suspected of a deep laid plot. There is such a walling and gnashing of teeth over one man by the fair sex at this time. Some of the gentlemen of leisure are changing residences so often at this time. Happy Anderson got as calm as a lamb all at once. A certain young lady wants to know who our Havre correspondent is. The Bright Stars do not show Some Speed. The Buisy Bees do not find our local editor and keep off of the big chest. Uncle Dave is about to be boycotted. Our dillquent subscribers do not pay Frank Mitchell is running wild. Our Negro Citizens. Probably the percentage of decent citizens is as great among the black anb "colored" men of Helena as. amongst the whites. There are so many Missourians here that we are still calling a black man "a nigger." There are some "niggers" with souls whiter than those of their Caucasian haters. The negre's elemental curse is his animal passion, or his lack of education or his dethronement as a citizen. Yet it is fair to say that the negro, of all the subordinate races is best adapted for government, but inside his black skin he always maintains an absolute and nndying difeaence to the law. The moment a negro is permitted to become a "smart Alec," a repudiator of law and order, an outlaw and a political "tools" that moment he becomes a natural candidate for the penitentiary and the gallows. There is no half measure for a negro he is either a citizen or a criminal and he can't help it. It is an odd fact in the study of the negro that he has never been exploites an enemy of good government. An ezchange says; "You will no Johann Most, Emma Goldman, Czolgosz, or Guiteau among the negroes. In the struggle which may be expected to come between order and anarchy may it not be that those people, grateful to the nation for their liberty and to the good people of the land for their uplift in knowledge, purity and social standing, will prove themselves a mighty force, upholding law, order and the supremacy of the nation? Stranger things have happened than that these people, crushed and wronged for generations, should be come at last strong defenders of the nation and the community at whose haubs they have hitherto received mainly injustice. The are here as citizen. Whatever temporary restrictions may be placed upon their approach to the ballot box, the time will come when all barriers will be broken down and they will enjoy everywhere the ful rights of citizen ship. But ignorant citizens are the prey and the sports of every demagogue who appeals to their passions, and if one-ninth of our citizens are so exposed the whole life of the nation is in peril."

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 10.—The death list as a result of the Nacozari explosion is now placed at 14 or 15, all Mexicans, besides John Chisholm, aged 13, who was riding on the train when the explosion occurred. A train on the narrow gauge railway to the Pliares mine in some way caught fire. In the train were two open cars loaded with explosives, and the fact that the concentrator and a good part of the town of Nacozari was saved from ruins was due to the bravery of the Mexican engineer of the train, Jesus Garcia. Realizing that to cut out the burning cars and escape on the engine would expose the town to probable destruction, he called to the rest of the crew to jump and started to run the train away from the town. He had taken it about a half mile when the explosion occurred, and he was blown to atoms. It is reported that another member of the crew stayed with him and was killed. The heavy death list is due to the fact that the explosion occurred just as the train was passing a section house in which there were a number of section men PRESENT FOR KING EDWARD Presented With Culliana Diamond, the Largest Known.

MAKE WATTERSON U. S. SENATOR Kentucky Plan on Foot to Shelve Gov anos. Beckham Louisville, Ky., Nov. 12—Henry Watterson's friends are urging him as a candidate against Governor Beckham for the United States senate.

The combined departments of Duluth and Superior fought the fire.

They did not consider it safe yet, however, to begin the payment of currency money whenever demanded, and checks on the clearing house for small amounts are now in preparation, to be used as currency money. It is almost certain that these checks will be issued this week and several million dollars of them will then be available. But meanwhile the coffers of the banks and the pockets of individuals have been somewhat replenished by the importation of over $6,000 of gold, and the deposits of the United States government in national banks have been increased several millions. Seeingly, it is a question of a few weeks at the longest when money will be freely in circulation. There is no manner of doubt that the northwest is richer now than ever before, not merely in fixed assets, but in immediately available capital. As a small illustration it may be mentioned that the shipments of wheat and flour for 19 weeks of the crop year amounted to 82,853,000 bushels, against 88,666,000 bushels for the corresponding period last year, and the amount of money received for this product is much greater per unit than last year. It is to be assumed that shipments from this time on will be less active than heretofore, because the supply of currency is small and many of the farmers refuse to accept checks. This very fact, however, shows that the producing class is financially strong enough to sell when they get ready. The country banks have more currency than ordinarily at this time of the year, but are holding it for fear it will be hoarded by individuals paid out. The excess of shipments of currency over receipts in Chicago during October was $24,711,510, against $16,765,000 the corresponding month last year. SPORTING NOTES L. C. Hull of Brazenose college, a Rhodes scholar from Michigan, has again been successful in field athletics. He won the 100-yard dash easily, in 10%. Twelve to eight and all field goals was the result of the football game Friday at Walla Walla in which Whitman eliminated the University of Washington from the championship map. It was an even break between Multnomah and Seattle in the first inter-club boxing and wrestling championship series which were inaugurated in Portland Friday night. Seattle, Portland and Spokane are entered in the tournament. The surprise of the evening was the quick victory scored by Chester Brown of Seattle, the crack weltersweight boxer, for he knocked out Jack Walsh of the Multnomah club in 1 minute and 37 seconds of the first round. Ed Johnson, Multnomah's heavyweight boxer, scored a victory by clearly earning the decision over Sam Peck of Seattle in their three-round bout. Idaho's varsity eleven, supposed to be easy for the Washington State college, Friday afternoon sprung a big surprise and defeated their opponents 5 to 4, before the largest crowd that ever saw a football game on the Idaho field. Idaho worked the forward pass successfully in the first half and sent Savidge over for a touchdown, goal being missed. In the second half Washington rushed the ball near enough for Hardy to kick a goal from the 30-yard line. Idaho won on its merits. Its lighter team was the more aggressive, its defense was magnificent, the generalship of the quarterback, Rodney Small, was superb, the team pulled together as one man, there was never a moment's relaxation in that desperate fighting spirit, and in the end the husky eleven from Washington State college was out-gamed and played to a standstill.

Haddow in the Technical World Magazine, "that require the high order of intelligence, the study, the application, the real hard-headed common-sense, the surgeon's delicacy of touch—for instance, in fitting of fine work—that the machinist's trade demands to give the excellent work and the interchangeability of parts found in the modern rife or sewing machine. The range of his work is from a needle to a battleship; from automatic machinery that 'would talk French had it one more movement' to measuring machines guaranteed not to vary more than the fifty-thousandth part of an inch from the absolute. This precision will perhaps be better appreciated when it is remembered that 150 times this limit of variation is only equal to the diameter of the average human hair. Standard plug and ring gauges, to take a specific example, are so accurately fitted to each other that the expansion due to the warmth of the hand, if the plug be held in it for a few moments, will make it impossible to insert the plug in the ring; while, if the ring be expanded in the same way, the plug will drop clear through it. When the machinist has become skillful enough to fulfill the above requirements, he may receive from $2.50 per day up to whatever he can make himself worth and prove it."

"We still find," said an old Washingtonian, "many cold plates. Lots of people seem to regard hot plates as a superfutility, or even as an affectation of style that is not to be encouraged, and so give you cold plates to eat hot food from; thus really spoiling many a good meal. "I ate dinner yesterday at a place where the food is excellent and admirably cooked, and where everything they give you is good and appetizing, and ample in supply, but where the joy of the meal was marred by cold plates. "Just why they give you cold plates at this place I don't know, but it is simply the survival of an ancient custom. I guess." "For hot plates are a modern custom. Formerly people got along very well without them; but it is different now, when it is so easy to provide them. And yet they are by no means, even today, everywhere to be found. "You might eat today at the abundant, the well-supplied and the well-equipped table of a family whose every member was the personification of kindly grace and hospitality, and yet find here your food served to you on cold plates; rugged people, these, by whom, out of some feeling bred in the days when luxuries were less common, hot plates would still be considered as a mark of concession to effeminacy. And by such a reason, indeed, might the cold plates be accounted for in some small hotels, off the beaten track, though in many another hotel their presence is due simply to slackness, indifference or a failure to rise to modern conditions. "But the hot plate, by no means a sign of degeneracy, but one marking simply and rationally a desire to rise to our privileges, is everywhere spreading; it will some day everywhere prevail, and meanwhile when we eat where it has not yet come, let us be grateful then for the food."—Washington Post. A FAD OF THE PAST. Ha, that was footgear for you—the copper-toed boot. You couldn't wear it out. You were defied to! That was in the days when one pair of boots was expected to last you all one winter. No such foolish notions prevail now.

There was the grievous sight of toes wearing out while the rest of the boot was good as ever, and without a sound toe the boot was ruined. But the piece of copper at the tip baffled, to a great extent, the mania of the children for kicking their toes on the frosty ground. The presence of a pair of new red-topped boots (they were always very ornate as to tops) under the Christmas tree was a challenge to the reckless. "Wear me out if you can!" they seemed to say. Then you would proceed to try you hardest to do so. In the long run you were always victor. But the end was delayed generally to the profit of your father's pocketbook. Now the copper-toed boot has passed. self-Winding Watches. "Watchmaking is no longer what it used to be," said a collector.

A well-known authority on Rheuma tism gives the readers of a large New York daily paper the following valu- able, yet simple and harmless prescri- ption, which one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, and, being a vegetable extraction, are harmless to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for a few days, is said to overcome almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of even the small towns elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the drudgists will mix the prescription if asked to $100 Reward. $100.

Concentration of the Business Constantly Increases—More Shops. This city receives 368,849 quarts of milk daily, but not all of it is being used here, says the Boston Transcript. The centralization of the milk traffic is constantly increasing. This is well illustrated by the rapidly lessening number of milkmen. At this time there are only 316 licensed dealers, a loss of twenty-eight over the preceding year. This naturally means more business for the remaining milkmen. The number of shops selling milk shows an increase of 117 over 1005; 3,746 shops are now engaged in the sale of milk in this city. About 123,250 quarts are subjected to commercial pasteurization daily, which means the heating of the milk to between 150 and 170 degrees Fahrenheit. The milk inspector does not approve this method unless it is regulated by labeling the product. During the summer months one firm claims to supply the customers with milk twelve hours old and another concern delivers milk to a portion of its patrons throughout the summer months of the same age, while the balance of its customers receive their milk when it is twenty-five hours old. Another firm in winter serves one-half of its family trade with milk twelve hours old, while the remaining retail customers are given milk twenty-four hours old. The greater portion of the milk delivered by contracting firms is from twenty-four to thirty-six hours old; a portion of the milk supply of one large firm is forty-eight hours old. Another large concern supplies milk to 10 percent of its stores and restaurants which is from forty-eight to sixty hours old. Milk of forty-eight to sixty hours old, to be of good quality, must have been produced and kept under ideal conditions. Look Neat When Traveling. A woman looks chic and neat at the end of her journey because she wears a small hat which covers a well-groomed head, kept neat by a hair net. She wears a foulard frock, the waist and skirt of which have been fastened together firmly. She wears a stiff linen collar, with a taffeta bow of the same tone as her dress. Just before arriving she changes her collar, puts on fresh gloves, and cleanses her face with cold cream. She fastens her veil neatly and looks as trim as if she were just starting on her journey. She avoids a large hat, white gloves, jewelery and loosely arranged hair. How to Strengthen a Puppy's Legs.

When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways.

Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.
