The Montana Democratic convention, meeting in Bozeman, shows strong opposition to Heinze. Delegates from Lewis and Clark and Missoula counties were elected solidly against him, signaling a likely defeat for Heinze and his bid to control the party. Heinze joined the party recently and has sought to dominate it, but the party rejects him. He may bolt the Helena or Bozeman gathering, but the outcome appears unaffected.
The r Course argues a three year collegiate program will replace the four year format. Harvard Brown Yale and Columbia leaders endorse early adoption with 1905 start. Proponents claim three years builds necessary thinking and culture, while the remaining time shifts to study and practical aims. Summer travel revives with rising prosperity as resorts fill and workers seek shorter breaks.
The author argues that for everyday conditions and the average university student a three year course should be sufficient and that post graduate work may be planned for those who pursue it. The piece discusses practical limits of study duration and future planning.
An editorial attacks Governor Toole for betraying the Montana Democratic Party by backing Heinze and using proxies. It criticizes him as a partisan fanatic and warns the Lewis and Clark county convention against allowing him to attend Bozeman as delegate or alternate. The piece also discusses risks to Roosevelt and a forthcoming transpacific cable linking San Francisco, Honolulu, and Manila, forecasting closer ties and diminished scandals.
The article notes President Roosevelt dodged danger on a trolley ride and faces a flood of advice urging greater caution. Critics fear railroad accidents or assassination but praise his willingness to travel and greet the public despite risks.
The piece notes a past boom in New York area shipyards along the East River and Jersey shore, contrasts it with today’s focus on harbor and coastwise craft, and argues that New York loses to Pennsylvania and Virginia in material transport costs. It proposes Erie Canal modernization to restore New York’s shipbuilding advantage and mentions a winter bill to put the question to voters.
A long, rambling account details Jacob Mackay selling his racing stable to focus on affairs, Bell family scandals in Germany and Newport, and financier Sage’s guarded, perilous life. It also recounts Johnstone Bartlett’s Nebraska trip seeking arrests, a failed horse deal, and lightning rod schemes.
A collage of social jokes and sayings quoted from editors and readers. The snippets include a Arkansas editor’s salutatory, a Chicago Chronicle fragment on truth and subscribers, and jokes about law delays, doctors, nurses, pensions, and a pension bureau exchange.
A local tale notes a pensioner housed in the Insane asylum and a talking point about a poet known as Argonaut. The postmaster explains the poet’s record time by sending a poem to New York and receiving a reply in 27 hours. The summer boarder queries the meaning of the claim.
The article recalls Sadler's Wells, London’s oldest theater, aging from a music house to a renowned home of drama, now set to be pulled down. It notes early entertainments, rope dancing, and notable performers, with prices and two daily performances as the venue evolved from a meadow to a landmark.
