Page overview

An interior page of The Anaconda Standard for Wednesday, December 2, 1914, combining local Butte and Anaconda news briefs, society and hotel arrival columns, a continuation of the Riley deportation case from the front page, a large department-store advertisement for Hennessy's overcoats and menswear occupying the right third of the page, and a letter-to-the-editor column. The editorial content is a miscellany typical of an early-twentieth-century Montana daily's inner pages: school board news, church notices, court items, classified-style personal notices, and community correspondence. The tone is neutral and reportorial, with the Hennessy's display advertisement dominating visually. The Irish Societies reply letter sits in a dense multi-column text area in the lower centre of the page alongside court, death, and community notices.

Juxtapositions

  • The Irish Societies' indignant wartime letter to the editor defending Irish-American and German-American loyalty sits in the same column-foot as routine death notices, funeral announcements, and a probate court item, giving the charged political correspondence a mundane editorial neighbourhood.
  • The heated community letter about World War I loyalties runs directly adjacent to the large Hennessy's department-store advertisement for overcoats at $15, a stark contrast between wartime political controversy and peacetime consumer comfort.

Teachers' committee will handle matter—Usual bills are allowed. Matters went along very nicely with the school board proceedings last night. Everybody seemed in good nature and, while a lot of details were disposed of, there seemed to be a disposition to be good-natured all the way through on all things. What might be called the main thing of importance was the recommendation of Superintendent Downer, that a system be adopted of having the teachers meet the principals at stated periods and the principals meet the superintendent at other periods to discuss matters and that it would be necessary to have one or other books of authority on the subject. It was stated that the teachers each should have a book when selected. The trustees discussed the proposition of having the teachers buy them or letting the district do it. The matter was left to the teachers' committee to decide. It was stated by the superintendent that the plan proposed would be for the betterment of the schools. Bills amounting to $6,615 were allowed, also the janitors' payroll of $2,791 and the teachers' payroll of $25,490. In this connection it was decided to transfer $25,000 from the general fund to the building fund, which had been drawn on for the general fund for that amount. The request of the Volunteers of America to place baskets for clothes and boxes for money in the different school buildings was referred to the superintendent. The army wants to furnish the poor with shoes and to take care of needy families coming under its notice for the Christmas holidays. # CHINAMAN IS DETAINED FOR FEDERAL GRAND JURY Lee Finn was bound over to the federal grand jury after a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner James in Anaconda yesterday upon charges of aiding in importing and selling smoking opium. Frank Woody, second assistant United States attorney, appeared for the government. Lee Finn was released upon furnishing $1,000 bonds. Opium weighing 56 ounces and valued at $102 an ounce was entered as an exhibit. This is said to be the most expensive exhibit entered in such a case in the Montana district in years. ### NEW ARRIVALS. Born, Nov. 19, to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gordon, 484 East Park street, a son.

Dube; venerable consul, Nick Marrick; advisor, Walter A. Harris; banker, James A. Good; clerk, J. C. Freeman; escort, Tom Tracy; watchman, Basil Tyson; sentry, William Merrett; trustee, L. P. Nuhfer; camp physicians, Drs. A. G. Allen and M. C. Smetters; musician, Victor J. Grandpre. The officers will be installed on Jan. 19, together with Royal Oak camp, Royal Neighbors, at which time the Fuzzy Wuzzy club is preparing to give a minstrel show. # TO CELEBRATE FIRST MASS IN ST. LAWRENCE CHURCH The Rev. V. U. Leclaire, A. M., of the Mount St. Charles college of Helena will celebrate his first mass in St. Lawrence's church Sunday morning. It will be a solemn high mass. He will celebrate the mass in St. Lawrence's church as a comp[l?]iment to Father Clifford, the temporary pastor, who was an instructor in St. Victor college, where Father Leclaire was educated. Father McMullen, president of the Mount St. Charles college, will preach the sermon in St. Lawrence's church Sunday. Bishop Carroll will confer the sacrament of holy orders on the Rev. Mr. Leclaire, Dec. 17, 18 and 19. # POPE BENEDICT BRINGS ABOUT CHANGES IN CHURCH Pope Benedict has given a special dispensation to the members of the Catholic churches throughout the world to dispense with the usual fast on the fourth Friday of the month, which this time falls on Christmas, and wi[l?]l permit meat to be served. The day before Christmas will be observed as a fast day, in accordance with a custom of the church in observing the eve of a holy day. Another recent order of the church, which has been received in Butte, obliterates a fast day for the week when Friday is a holy day. # GET NINE BOYS INSIDE OF THEIR COZY DUGOUT Complaints that a gang of boys had been making raids on ice boxes and coal bins and bothering pedestrians last night resulted in the arrest of nine boys in a "dugout" on North Wyoming street near the railroad trestle. Sheriff Berkin and Under Sheriff Kellar rounded up the boys, who average 17 years of age, and Juvenile Officer Fox warned the boys that more complaints would result in their being taken to the industrial school. Residents of Summit street said the gang spirit was too strong for safety. The boys pleaded good behavior if their dugout were not destroyed. # BUTTE BRIEFS. T. J. Bennetts has gone to Rochester, Minn., accompanied by his daughter, Pearl and Mrs. D. Reece, to be at the bedside of Mrs. Bennetts, who will undergo an operation in a few days. Bert Haycock has returned from a sojourn of several months in the Big Hole country, where he says the weather is too severe for him and he will spend the winter in Centerville. Capt. J. L. Tucker, head of the quartermaster corps of the National Guard of Montana, was in the city last evening concluding the business relations of the guardsmen with Butte men. Miss Zetta Brennan has returned to Dillon to resume her studies in the state normal school after visiting during the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Brennan of Centerville. # VIEWS OF AN AUSTRALIAN ON TAFT AND THE DOCTRINE Melbourne, Australia, via London, Dec. 1 (12;30 p. m.)—The Melbourne Age, referring to the views of former President Taft concerning the Monroe doctrine, expressed recently at Montclair, N. J., and particularly his statement that the United States would not be compelled by the terms of the doctrine to intervene if Canada should be attacked by Germany, has this to say: "If this interpretation represents the views of the government of the United States, an event of first-rate importance to the entire civilized world has taken place. If the Wilson government shares Mr. Taft's opinion, it is very clear that Monroeism is a thing of the past and that the United States has abdicated the position she has been jealously guarding for a period extending upward of 80 years. In his address at Montclair, N. J., last Friday night, ex-President Taft said that, while the landing of troops in Canada by enemies of Great Britain would not constitute a violation of the Monroe doctrine, an effort to establish a new form of government in case of victory would violate that policy. Mr. Taft said: "All the Monroe doctrine would consistently require of us would be to insist that when the war is over, if Germany were successful, she could not take over the territory of Canada and overthrow her government and establish her own there, or take any oppressive measures which would have a similar effect; but we would not object to her exacting an indemnity if she were the victor." ### COLORADO AFFAIR. Washington, Dec. 1.—President Wilson will withdraw federal troops from the Colorado strike zone as soon as he receives official word from Governor Ammons that the state is ready to resume control. The president reiterated today that the commission named by him Sunday would have nothing to do with the present strike, but was appointed to be of service in settling differences which might arise in the future. Seth Low and the other members of the commission are expected in Washington Dec. 14 to confer with the department of labor officials. ## Column 4 # RILEY NEXT ONE DEPORTING CASE (Continued From Page One.) the man who brought a charge of assault against Gabby Coyle. The latter is now out on bail to await a charge of being interested in the deportations. ### Other Cases. Arthur Bailey was informed against for taking part in the dynamiting and rifling of the miners' union safe on June 13. He is in jail. Dan Gillis, whose appeal from the summary court resulted in the supreme court deciding against the authority of all the military tribunals, was allowed yesterday to plead guilty to a misdemeanor. He was given a year in jail and paroled on his good behavior. The county attorney has secured the transfer of the case against Mike Milar, Lazar Tomich and John Tomich to Bozeman for next week. They are charged with dynamiting Miners' Union hall on the night of June 23, in company with others. County Attorney McCaffery wants to dispose of all the cases growing out of the recent troubles before he goes out of office. He realizes it is going to be a hard task, but he does not care to saddle any of the cases on his successor. [boxed head:] *Hotel Arrivals* Thornton—I. Greenbaum, Louisville, Ky.; M. E.

We have no intention of entering into an argument as to our policy with any person. Our minds are made up, our policy is fixed, our determina- [continued at the head of Column 6] ### UNDERTAKERS.

We have no desire of entering in detail into the various insinuations or misstatements of fact contained in the illogical inuendo [sic] of your correspondent who signs himself "John F. Brennan," beyond saying that if he knows as little about Germany, as his remarks indicate, as he does about the feelings of the Irish race in this country, then certainly he is more to be pitied than despised or derided. We know of no such man in any of the Irish societies of Montana, and a careful perusal of the most up-to-date directory fails to reveal any such name as "John F. Brennan." We are therefore of the opinion that some one has had the temerity to utilize your space to fling his abuse and slander at the membership of some of the oldest, most patriotic and respected organizations in our community. As American citizens, we believe that any man who prefers an alien to a national government for his native land would also be willing to impose upon his adopted country a foreign sway. To such creatures our American institutions, laws and flag make no appeal. They are the craven idolators of the union jack and cannot be reasoned with. If there be such a man in existence as "John F. Brennan," it is entirely probable that he is more than eager to be with his compatriots in this war, in defense of the high principles of "civilization" and "Christianity" for which England, Russia, Japan and the brown and dusky hordes of fanatical Asia and savage Africa are now contending against the brave, gallant and happily triumphant forces of his imperial majesty the kaiser of Germany. Sympathizing as we do with his isolated and ignominous [sic] position among the more than 20,000,000 of his race in this country, feeling that this republic would be well rid of him and anxious to put to a practical test the genuineness of his love and loyalty to England, we herewith publicly invite him to call at the Standard office at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon (Dec. 3), where the undersigned, in behalf of the Irish organizations, will gladly furnish him with a free ticket to the nearest British recruiting station, which we believe to be at Calgary, Canada. The only condition on which John F. Brennan can procure this ticket is that his freinds [sic], British or otherwise, guaarntee [sic] a good and sufficient bond that he will proceed to the front. If Brennan accepts our offer, we promise him that we shall see to it that the splendid fife and drum band of the Irish societies will be glad to escort him to the depot, to the stirring strains of "St. Patrick's Day in the Morning," even as his prototypes, the British redcoats, evacuated Boston to the same martial strain, on that glorious St. Patrick's morning when the fires of the revolution that gave birth to the republic blazed so gloriously on the historic slopes of Bunker Hill. Trusting to be excused for encroaching on your valuable space, believe us, very respectfully yours, W. P. M'CARTY, President Division 3, A. O. H. JAMES J. MURPHY, County President A. O. H: JOHN H.

Osbourne is a novelist and stepson of the late Robert Louis Stevenson, with whom he collaborated.

The pains in my back would be like some sharp instrument piercing my kidneys and I could hardly get out of a chair without help. I finally resolved to give your Swamp-Root a trial and the results were so fine that I have recommended it to others and it seems to produce the same beneficial results with everybody that uses it. I am very thankful to you for your great remedy, Swamp-Root, as I know that it will do all you claim for it. CHARLES J. SHELDON, McGraw, N. Y. Personally appeared before me, this 23d of September, 1909, Charles J. Sheldon, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that the same is true in substance and in fact. R. C.

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to keep your hair looking rich, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.—Advertisement.
