Montana, as Second Class Matt« -BO .06 THE SEVENTH AVENUE ROAD Through the efforts of the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary and Kiwanis club, and other organizations, the movement to improve a portion of Seventh avenue north with a hard surface to connect with the paving was brought to a successful conclusion, let and work started, so that within a short time it will be completed and must then be paid for. Notices have been sent out, calling for pay The bids have been ment of assessments made upon a prorata basis, to auto owners and others, covering the amount of the cost of construction of this piece of road. The returns have been very slow. Less than ten percent of those who received notices have re sponded. It is to be regretted that there has not been a more ready response to the call for funds for this project. No one piece of necessary improvement in the city, has been talked about as much as has the Seventh avenue north road, and there has been an almost unanimous insistance that this work be done. Now that it is under way, those who so urgently pleaded for it should, of their own volition, send in to the committee in charge of the work, the amount which they are asked to contribute. Let every citizen of Bozepian now do his duty in the matter of the Seventh avenue north road, so that when the work is completed there will be funds on hand to pay the bill. * Throughout THE FOURTH OF JULY 4 . Si** 1 Tuesday this nation again observed a birth day with appropriate celebration, the country, cities and communities laid aside the duties of their usual vocation, to devote the day to commemoration of that day one hundred and forty-six years ago, when our forefathers brought to life a new nation. Celebrating the Fourth of July has under gone many changes in the past few 7 years. Chief among the changes is the elimination of the deadly cannon cracker, sky rocket, toy cannon, and many other fiendish instrument of noise. These have been put under such regulation as to time and place of use, that the death toll, and list of mained, among children* has been almost eliminated. In their place has come the pro grams of patriotic songs, tableaus of the nations historical events, picnics and other sane methods ! of observing the day. Today our Independence Day means more to us than ever before. The growth of this nation to a position of greatness has placed it where its every action as a nation, as a people, is keenly observed by all other nations of world. The United States in its present bigness and strength is looked upon throughout the world, as setting an example of rectitude of conduct fori th >e others. The manner in which this nation observed the anniversary of its birth, will be studied by foreign diplomats, propagandists, and students of history, to see if there is any signs of developing weakness in the fabric of its i far i greatness. Our nation has been beset by many trials i since the close of *he World War, there have been I many delecate situations developed to give rise There are many enemies of the nation within its bounderies anxious to further any movement that might destroy the greatness of this nation. Their propaganda is circûlated to create that distrust which will bring about a crisis, hoping that by so doing the nation, its fonn of government, may be destroyed. Their aim is not to build up, but to tear down, wreck and ruin, with the only object of making fqr themselves a Roman holliday that they might gain that which our forefathers sacrificed, fought, ar d died to establish. The wealth of this nation to the hint by trouble makers that dissention is developing.

Enemies of freedom, happiness, and justice. The citizens of the United States are today just as devoted to their country as was those who established it. They love its principles, its form of government, its institutions, with that same patriotism existing a century and a half ago at its birth. They are today, as ready to fight for the principles upon which the nation is established, as were its founders. Enemies of the nation within its borders, may imagine there is a lack of watchfulness upon the part of the 1 people over their government. They think that I in the pride of the developed greatness of the nation, indifference and neglect has dulled the patriotic love of country. Never could a greater mistake be made, than to believe the people of the United States are not on guard, ever watch ful of their liberty and freedom. In the celebration of the Fourth of July on Tuesday, the observer had opportunity to see that in this nation lives a people who are proud of their country, a citizen population who with firm belief in their government can repeat America's Creedi written by William Tyler Page, which I believe in the United States of America a says, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed ; a democracy republic; a sovereign nation of many sover m a eign states ; a perfect union, one and inseperable ; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which Amer ican patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I, therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it against • » all enemies. THE RAILROAD STRIKE Who shall control the affairs of this country? Shall it be the fate of these United States to find the great majority compelled to submit to the will of a small minority? Here, at this present day, there is in effect another strike of union men, who are in a certain respect assuming the! attitude that their desires shall control the econ omic condition, regardless of its results for good bad, upon the other industries of the nation. It has come to a point where the question to whether the government of this i or arises as country shall remain in the hands of the majority, enacted by the regularly elected and consti tuted officials of the nation, or shall be in the hands of a very small minority, who, through strikes shall force their desires to prevail. The ! time has come, when drastic action must be taken» ! by the government of the United States, to put ! a stop to such movements destructive to the con tinuance of peaceful occupation by those who desire to work, as The attitude of the railway employees in the present strike appears to be one in which they care nothing about the financial situation in this less for the harmful results of their strike. The suffering and loss, in value of mercandise and products, should the strike continue for any the'length of time, will reach into many millions of dollars. ! In the matter of the coal miners strike, there seems to be reason to believe that both the miners j and operators are at fault. Their differences can be adjusted, and should be, before the country j faces a situation in the fuel supply that will bring | suffering and death to many thousands. In the country ; have no regard for the depreciation in value of products of the farm or factory, and present strike of the railway employees, the ad ju3tmoat*of the differences between the railroad operators and the employees was made by a board properly constituted to do so, and should be up held and enforced if necessary, by such methods as required. There is no reason for the strike, no .excuse for it save the desire of those whom terms, through its proper officials, the authority of the nation in the affairs of the people. No i objection is made to unions, their purpose is for good, but when the unions are used to .bring j hardship and destruction to the great majority thèy become a menace to future prosperity and i tlfieir actions must be controled. it effect, to maintain an inequal return for their labor over that of others. The time has come when the government of the United States must assert, in no uncertain ENGLISHMAN FINDS SENATE ALL WRONG J ( years behind the times, certainly half century behind Sir Philip Gibbs. Evid *ntly what we do not know abont ourselves an Englishman can find »nt for us.

The gesture has been magnificent, but too often So far as the complexion of the Senate is concerned, it can be chang ed at the fall election if the people are so disposed. But there is at pres ent n0 certain indication that the people are so disposed. Interpreting public opinion is very much of a guess and too many persons thing think that ( what they think is necessarily the thought of the people, and hence an overwhelming public sentiment. The Senate of the United States is not all wisdom. It is conservative as a whole; but this does not mean that it is defiant of oublie opinion, But the Senate fortunately is not a body that is so easily thrown off its teet by the passing whim of the hour, it j s the balance wheel of the govern men t, and the more powerful the nachinerv the greater the necessity rt TT tne necessity f or a balance wheel.
