PASSING EVENTS
It Is difficult to imagine a pleasanter
.place or a more delilghtful climate than
Mlissoula and apple-blossool tine. Out
of a season of mist and showers last
week's burst of sunshine brought tus
suddenly into the very height of the
season of bloom. seldom has the
transition been as sudden as it was
this spring. Last Sunday morning we
wakened to bright skies and warmth
e'which were as surprising as they were
pleasant. The wildflowers sprang into
full blnom tll at once and the early
garden. -Blossonm showed. In another
day the cherry trees were white and
then the crabapple blossolms showed.
Now the real apple blossoms are re.
'eallng their beauty of pink and white
and the fragrance of our beautiful
springtime season weights the air. It
is good. Just to be moving about In
such surroundings; It Is the time of
year when the world is freshest and
brightest and sweetest. And there is
no place on earth more delightful than
this little corner of ours, where so
much of beauty abounds and where
Sthere is every incentive to be right
and to do right. These are the days
of days and they have conei to us with
aramatlc effect- this year. so Ihnpre
sively beautlful has been their en.

again. Almost overmnight #he trans

the orchards are great masses of

THE SQUARE DrAL
The voluntary and immediate action of olopel R.o.
volt in giving up to Mr. Taft the sight dlegpte at tr
.from.Massachusetts instructed;for himself; becauseI ot M1.
Taft's majority in the prefeirio0 vote, has excited. the
adpniration and approval of newspapers and individuils
the country over, crgardless 'of political affiliations. Tak
en,, as it was, of his own volition and without consultation
with his political advisors, the action of Colonel Roose
velt has, with fe ce t received the commendation
of newspapersal complexion, and among
them several dministration organs in the
country.
The New York'Times, than which there is no stronger
supporter of Mr. Taft, contments editorially on the col
onel's action as follows:
in surrendering to, l're'idnt Taft the ,eight delegates at large
from Massachusetts, who were elected as pledged to vote for him
self, Mr. Roosevelt has done a manly and honorablq thing. It is an
act that will have an instant response of praise al. approval for him
the country over. * * *
The voters declared a preference for Mr. Taft, and that. under
the, lUw. In the rxnet equlv'allet 6f resolutions of Inatrctions In aI state
convention. It should be binding upon the delegates at large. This
Mr. ,,oosnvelt frankly and with most commendable candori acknowl
edges, and he will urge and continue to urge the eight delegates
at large to support Mr. Taft at Chicago.
From the Hartford Courant, a bitter anti-Roosevelt
newspaper, comes the following editorial paragraph:
Theodore Roosevelt has released the eight delegates at large from
their pledges to vote for him and requested them to vote at Chicago
for William H. Taft as being the choice of the preference primary.
It is a very sportsmanlike action.
The Detroit News places the relinquishment of his del
egates by Colonel Roosevelt as an event of equal impor
tance with his success in the Bay state. The News com
ments in this wise:
Thl voluntilary r''hlnuieihn'uet of Msupport in easily the big ,'vlnt
of the contest. It is a concrete demonstration of "the square deal"
which President Taft has so recently charged Roosevelt with repudi
ating. It makes more evident than ever before the fact that Mr.
Roosevelt is fighting for principles more than votes or offlee. It
is a stinging rebuke to the methods of the Taft managers who have
grabbed off votes wherever possible and by any methods at hand,
even to the contesting and unseating of regularly elec'ed state
Roosevelt delegates. It Is Theodore Roosevelt's most powerful exem
plification of his sincere and disinterested belief in his doctrine that
the people should rule.
The New York Evening Post, one of the strongest Taft
organs in the country, and one of the bitterest opponents
of Colonel Roosevelt, comes to the front with a handsome
acknowledgement of his honesty of purpose in relinquish-.
ing his Massachusetts delegates at large. The Evening
Post says:
It would be unfair to question ,Mr. Itosevelt's motives in announc
ing, as lie did so promptly yesterday, that he did not want the eight
delegates at large of Massachusetts. Elected by a ballot mistake.
aind in opH,osttiun to the, clarlyo expre.ssed prefe'rence of the moajority.
he declares that they ought to vote in the convention for Mr. Taft,
and that he will strongly urge them to do so. This is one of those
square and manly actions In political life which everybody must
admire, and which shoWhd not be meanly criticised. It is in line with
the early tradition about the character of the ideal Roosevelt, which
he has unfortunately done no much since to shatter. For our part,
we give his course In this business ungrudging praise, and shall not
join with those who are intimating that it was all a trick, designed
inl the first phttli to affect publil opinion and then to aIllke sure of
20 or 30 delegates in Oregon and Ijlnol. In return for the eight
handed to Taft in Massachusetts. We prefer to regard it as sim
ply one of those instant and Instinctive decisions by Roosevelt, at
once expressing his sense of the right thing to do and hitting the
sentiment of the people between wind and water, for which he has
always been noted. That it was adroit politics does not alter the
fact that it was handsome and honorable.
Under the caption, "People Against Bosses," the Chi
cago Tribune speaks of Colonel Roosevelt's action thusly:
Colonel Roosevelt's prompt renunciation of the eight delegates at
large from Massachusetts is a consistent application of the prin
ciple which he and his supporters are fighting for throughout the
ecountry. That prin(iple is, "lfet the people rule."

A i'TTEr RrgoRO--urlng the
week Mlksoulia timproved Its record as.
a "show town," to use a phrase that
Is fron the mouat of the advanpe
agent. Pbrhaps, it would be better to
say that Mis souta lived up to its rec
ord, for thles cIty has always. been
noted for Its Int4tit in thitngs of the
theater. There r'are at the Harnoels
last week two prdductions of unusual
merit. "Rebecca of Sunnybrook P'arm"
and "Bunty Polls the Htrlngs," playq
that were ridh In` the coloring of lo
calities separate4 by a third of the
world and endowed with the golden
appeal of simple, unaffected goodness.
Neither of these plays had anything of
the froth that Is used to, bait so many
theatrical books; nelther had a be
spangled chorus or the silly music
that one whistles for a day and then
forgets. Still, both were accorded an
appreelative patronage and both were
understood and enjoyed. If Missoula
can maintain its theatrical-attendance
prestige when shows like "Rebecca of
iHunnybrook Pnrm" and "t'Puty Pulls
the Strings" are hero 'in successive
nights, Misusoula's theatrical standing
Is fairly safe. The .week was one of
encouragement to those who love the
theater and wish the ltarnols to be
permanent in its present function.
THE ST. PAUL ORCHESTRA-In
the support of the St. l'atl Symphony
orchestra the enterprise of a great city
finds an outlet that is unusual. The
orchestra has Just comnleted a long
tour of the northwest, during which
it delighted two audlepces In Missoula.
The orchestra's deficit fur the season
is $45,000, which Is $6,000 more than
the year previous, anid is accounted for
in a large extent to the relative small
ness of many of the theaters in which
the organiation gave its perform
ances. The orclestra was accorded
capacity houses during Its trip through
the northwest, but the total receipts
were not enough to cover the expense
of taking such a large number of mu
slcians on so long n tour. This def
icit has already been subscribed by St.
Paul business men. Who each year
make up what the orchestra does not
earn during the season. It takes a
large amount of money to keep tip lan
organliation of tile class of the sym
phony orchestra, seventy musicians and
a numbelr of high-salaried stars. Yet.
St. Paul believes that it is spending its
money wisely. The city has become
known as a musical center of high
rank. the only northwestern city itn
which grand opera is heard each year.
It twas been estimated that St. Paul
spends about $130,000 a year on music,
the musical year lasting seven emonths,
from October to May. Basing the city's
population on the lust census figure.
214,000, this Ilcalns that sixty-two
cents per capita is expended there an
nually for high-claes music. Basing
the cost on tile nlm~nler of actual pa
trons of tis form of art, tile Individ
ual expenditure average rises to $18.39.
MISSOULA MUSIC '- Naturally a
discussion of the St. Paul situation in
regard to musical enterprise suggests
the Philharmonic Sinlging society of
Missoula and the Missoula band, the
two leading organitations of thits city,
co-ordlnated by thIe splendid person.
slity and talent of Professor Gustav
lischer, who hlas done Imore titan any
one inan to promlmotet interest in mu.
sic here and to breed culture of thills
sort. The Philharmontilc society has
done nlmuch work that is creditable and
is planning for tile future. Talent out
of the ordinary is to be found In Mis
oula, as those who have attended the
recitals of this society have learned.
Whatever assistance tile city cant give
this society should be given, for the
-Philharmonic serves a.double purpose,
artistic and educational, Almost as
much can be said orf the Miasoula band,
which, under the baton of Professor
Fiseher, has become one of the best inl
the northwest. The work of the Phil
harmoncl society is chltely for the ben
efit and enjoymtent of Missoula, the
education of the singers and of thtose
,who listen. The work of the band is,
however, somewhat more of a public
and popular nature. It is a fine asset
for any city, a good band. A. fine or
ganlastlon of this sort is one of the
show things of any muniolpality: just
