Wot long ago, in a pot far distant country, therejivetf a people who were so well, possessed, pf tbe cardinal virtues, honesty, industry, bravery and patriot- lam,.that: their. prosperity exceeded that of any other people on earth.. Qne day there canje among this people an orphan,, who said he was a good fel- - ItJjr, bat, was as out-cast among men and needed protection. Tfce people took bis. word for it and adopted the youth,. He said bis name was Infant Industry. The people liked the name, and they liked the. youth, for lm was comely, energetic and smart. Tbey not only gave him the protection necessary to his proper and., healthful. development, but they gave him gener ously of their means. In his youth. be was like unto one of them. He was in duatrious,.intelligent, brave, generous, patriotic, chivalous, courteous and, fact,.so endowed with all the splendid attributes of. manhood that he soon be- came-a special pet and favorite among tho people. They helped him build mills, shops, foundries and factories wherever be desired,' and Ixiuglit his wares at prices largely in excess- of «hat he charged .other people for the same goods after paying cost of. transportation to other countries. Infant Indnsry grew rapidly -and to enormous-proportions. From the mod est polite youth whose behavior pleased eaerybodv. he soon developed into tbe stern, cold, balance's giant whose man ners would freeze the marrow of the dinary citizen who had once regarded him with feelings of.-mingled pi tv and pride. Aa Infant Industry attained and strength and began to demand of the ppople more and more assistance he subjected to sore annoyance by caustic newspaper men and cartoonists. This only mine his manners worse ami his denmnds more importunate. When he saw the people' feared life abnormal growth and increase of power and inclined to enrb both, Ids temper soured And he began to loose faith in the intel ligence of the people. He has been hindered in the development of. his .his plana bv tbe people in niHny ways. Jitrikes-have been- of .frequent ocenrance and he has been to enormous expense In buying, franchises and other special legis- Kotwlthstanding these and many other bfndraoaes, he has moved steadily tmliL now, as Trust Magnate, he ! absorbed to himself the wealth of the country, which he bolds ns- “ Divine Trust” for the people, and still thev discontented,«and lie still clamors- more protection.

A. SMITH ....... WATCH MAKER. THe Great Falls Tribnne, which, if put aside the Claik.muzr.le, has rapidly risen in public estimation, ,is an out spoken, champion of O’Conner's Bill to license gambling in Montana. Those who favor the Bill, take the famillias ground that gambling is a “ necessary evil” , beyond- the power of the people to suppress, and that the state might as well derive a revenue from it., with due 'respect to the opinions of those who take such a view of the question, the Colnm-' bian believes that such reasoning is fala- clous and vicious, and might witheqii: I fi ree, be used in support of a bill leg*lir~j ¡eg other crimes, which no civilized statu ever succeeded in suppressing. The gam ti ling mania may he aptly described as a mental discaso, highly contagious, and more demoralizing lo any community, in which it has become endemic, than any of the dreaded contact«*«* diseases of the flesh. The State caruiot afford, to be mercenary in nueh matters. When Sen ator McDonnell, of- Sweet Grass, who favors the Bill, save he never.’-turned card, he simply says, that he is incom petent, from lack of experience and telligent .observation to form correct judgement' upon the question. I£ he would associate with intelligent gamb lers, and. they ate plentiful and eas- • approach,, and listen to l heir ex per ien he-would be foicud to theoouclusiofti gambling ra against public policy, that tbe state should take as drastic measures-to'suppress it as it has could take to prevent oilier kinds Inter Lake: Win.
