It was in fact a series of bn.liant dem
onstration» In New Tork, Washington
and elsewhere Thereafter, there was
talk about the civic honors that await
ed him: of course. It included freejuent
mention of him for the presidency.
Then came an unusual change. It
was not s revulsion of sentiment re
specting the admiral or a subsidence
of friendly feeling toward him. But,
'somehow, the belief spread that he
! lacked Fi tness for civic affairs and
that; ii* fact, he was not adapted to
I tht sort of experience that is incident
to personal activity in politics. In
any event. Dewey, a democrat, was not
thereafter a figure of account in the

Directly after the close of the war with
Spain he became admiral of the navy;

THE ESSENTIAL POINTS
! -
Two essential faits found expression
[ a t the meeting representative of this
district s mine owners which was held
hast Monday afternoon. First
made plain that, for their part, the
( mining men are not attacking any
j other industries or seeking to shunt
upon others any unfair share of the
tax burden. In the second place, they
; stand by the propositions that the
' m ines o: Montana are now proportion*
} a tel> taxed, that the method for their
assessment provided In the suites
constitution is fair and that they arc
, a frying their full share of the load,
j n light of what has happened

any other commercial
or industrial '.ass to «leal unfairly with
the mining interests—that sort of
spirit ertainly ought not to exist.
There is to be formal j resentation of
the mining side of the case at Helena.

EDUCATION NOTES
The custom of 'migrating'' from
university to university, a general
'
ma: >. is growing in America. The
l iiiversity of California rep*orts a re
markable tendency toward this custom
in that slate. Among the 500 or more
new st .dents enrolled at the uni\er
sit when the new term opened this
mi .th one-fifth of the new under
graduates and half of the graduate
b !.ts can.e from other universi
ties and colleges including the junior
colletés, now numerous in California.
In Germany the custom has been for
bg prevalent that Germans with
out number counting four years of
university work count as well four
universu.es or more in which this
w °rk has been accomplished.
