Miss willard Talks.

In a recent interview, Miss Will
lard said "Don't ask me about 60
ing to Europe. | never have LAID
up a cent, and how could l go to
Europe, as Mr.. Astor does !! When
was young, hoped to accumu-
late some wealth before | died, but
now | neither carry a purse nor
watch. l have an acre in Maine,
one on the Pacific coast and one IN
the Catskills, besides Rest Cottage
at Evanston. There are cottages
on all and they were given to me
for resting places. | like to think
that don't own anything. The
sense of possession dies out as l
grow older. 1t is nothing on earth
but phantasmagoria. Real values
are values of character and achieve
ment and all else is shell. | have
been SO opposed to capitalistic mo-
nopoly that l should like to make
over my possessions to add what
atom | could of power to the move
ment toward a republic OF brother
hood. 1t isn't the survival of the
fittest, it is the survival OF the
greatest number. If we were not
as torpid as snails, we could not sit
beside a warm fire and know that
brother man will go without his
dinner to-day; know that he has
hardly enough to keep soul and
body together for days at time.
We could not hear the pitiful stories
which are told of men, women and
children and see the misery about
us without taking some action. 1t
is the shadow of things to come.
Some day we shall say This shall
not be. "-People's Record, Mar
shall, Mo.

Divine Sympathy.

When a lawyer ask Jesus,
which is the great commandment.
the Savior Replied: "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself"
This was the first great command
ment. "And the second is like un-
to it," continued Jesus in His re-
ply. And he gave it as follows {:
"Thou shalt love thy eighbor as
thuself."
The tremendous power of Jesus
name among the fallen sons and
daughters of Adams race lies in
the fact that he was all-sympathetic.
He was on every occasion the bear
err of glad tidings to the poor, and
He abode with them constantly.
"Jesus wept."
So reads the shortest verse in the
Bible. Brief as it is, volumes of
testimony could not tell more.
The Savior of the world wept
tears of sympathetic grief because
of the sorrows of a stricken family.
To such an extent did the principle
of fellowship and sympathy perme'
ate the doctrine of Christ, that the
first converts of the church did
very strange thing.
They turned themselves into
communists. Read Acts ll:44 :
"And all that believed were to-
gether, and had all things common"
How strange and unbusinesslike!
Why, they went beyong the ex'
IRENE of socialism, of "paternal-
ism"-to say nothing of Popullsml
Read the 45th verse for further de-
tails:
"And sold their possessions and
goods, and parted them to all men,
as every man had need"
This lays the gifts of the Rocka'
fellers, Staufords and Carnegles
completely in tho shade.
1t does not appear that the early
Christians were compelled to do
such a thing--but the spirit OF a
divine sympathy led them to "share
and share alike"
Where does the church visible
stand to-day?
Who calls this Christian gov
eminent?
Who weeps for the miserable!
If Christ were 10 come again !

A national bank note is practical
ly irredeemable. One bank will
not redeem the notes Of another
bank. The notes are usually sent
as far from the bank that issues
them as possible. The government
will not redeem the notes unless the
bank has suspended. They are not
a legal tender. Every bank note in
circulation represents a double rate
of interest-one rate for the note
and one rate for the bond deposit
ed with the government to secure
it. A bank note represents the
credit of the bank that issues it,
backed by the pledges of the gov
eminent 1t is not money. ltrep-
resents what the bank owes. Yet
the people are required to pay IN
terest on it. And this is the kind
of honest money that Cleveland,
Carlisle and all the "sound money"

Democrats want.--Kentucky Popu-

From reports we find that Mr..

land in this country Mr.. Dission

900, 900; the California millionaire,

to the whole state Of Massachusetts,;
other foreign noblemen who owe no
allegiance to this country, or more
than the entire area of Ireland.
Lord Schully, of Ireland, owns 90
900 acres in Illinois alone, which he
rents to tenant farmers, and takes
the rents which amount to some
thing like 100000 per annum, and
spends it abroad. Allowing so
acres to each actual settler in our
own country, we find that l27 1915

The American citizen is sover-
elgn only one day in the year and
all the good it does him then is to
choose his masters for one or four
years to come. We are absolutely
at the mercy of the men we elect to
make and administer our laws.
They are unlimited monarchs while
their terms last. There is no way
on earth for us to recall the com
mission we have once given to
them. Direct Legislation would
change all this. Don't you want to

COLFAX CHATTER.

From the Commoner, 18th inst.
After serving a Today sentence in the
Walla Walla penitentiaay, as the bal
ance of term for burglary, John Han
sen returned this week to Colfax, where
his eight months sentence was nearly
completed in the county jail while await
ing vain appeal to the supreme court.
Hansen is the only confessed witness to
the scene which attended the taking of
Ed Hill from his cell on the fateful and
memorable morning of Jane 2, 1894.
He was Ed Hills cellmate, and after the
lynchiLg bis mind was go dlstul bed and
his imagination so filled with phantoms
of whitecaps and swinging corpses, that
the sheriff temporarily placed him in the
women's ward till bis mind regained its
equilibrium. Hansen is in bad shape
now, being victim of pleurisy, and he
has applied to the city authorities to
have them send him to the hospital.
He is LAID up at Main street boarding
house.

MOSCOW MATTERS.

From the Mirrer, 18th inst
Last Monday the people of the usu-
ally quiet little city of Moscow were
treated to a Genuine sensation in the
line of supposed murder, the victim
being a little four year-old step daugh-
ter O Mrs. Margaret Hardy, who lives
in the southeast part of the CITY. Some
time during the forenoon, Mrs. Hardy
sent out for several of the neighbors to
come in and see i something could lie
done for the child saying That it had
accidentally swallowed a quantity OF
no 1rphine and then a glass of carbclic
acid. When several of the neighbors
came they found the child lying on the
bed with it's eyes nearly burned out
with the powerful acid and suffering in
tense agony. Hrs. Hardy endeavored
to explain that she had prepared a dose
of morphine for her own use and also
some carbolic acid and had left the
glasses setting on the table and went
out to look after scme matters on the
outside and on returning she found the
child in an unconscious condition with
the fluids gone Doctors were immsdi-
ately summoned but were unable to do
any thing for the little sufferer and it
diem soon after. Coroner Groat sus-
picioned something wrong and sum
moned jury to hold an inquest in the
afternoon. Several witnesses we're sub
poenaed, and testified as to the condi-
ton of the child when found. then one

GENESEE GET-UPS.

From the News, 18th inst.
Col. Lane reports the best possible
progress in the work of completing the
allotments on the reservation and ex-
poets to start for Washington IN two
weeks with the rolls completed for fnal
settlement with the Indians for the
residue lands.
It is said that John Levi, an Indian,
is building a three-quarter mile track
on his land near Lapwai, and will erect
stables for the accommodation of all who
desire to keep horses there for training
AS rule the Indian racers play out
sooner than those of the whites and it is
thought training will harden them. In
dams know how to enjoy life and their
annual races will be greatly improved.
No snaps for the pale faces next time.
Genesee Grain Exchange Co. pur-
chased car load of shelled corn from
Chas. Miller last week paying SIT per
ton for il, and shipped same to Seattle.
This is the first load of sheled corn sent
out of Genesee. Perhaps our farmers
could do no better than to go extern
slvely in the corn raising business. We
have thousands sof acres of land near
Genesee that would produce line corn,
and return net income of from SIS to
$25 per acre. No expensive machinery
is required in the cultivation or harvest
| ing of the crop.

Representative O. B. Nelson, chair
man of the house committee of the state
legislature TO report on the condition of
the Pullman agricultural. college, and to
rec 'mmend needed legislation, is in the
city on his return to Olympia. He is
much pleased with what he saw at the
college. He Is enthusiastic in his praise
of the condition, efficiency, and splendid
achievements of the state college in the
last two years. Mr., Nelson was a mem.
Der of the legislative committee which,
two years ago, performed the same ser
vices for the institution under the Hes
ton administrator.
The entire committee" said he, "was
much surprised at the wonderful prog
ress made in every department in the
last two years, especially those who
knew Of its condition at that time.

and thoroughness, and he is surrounded

175 ranchers of all ages, sizes and con,

Professors Spillman, Piper, Balmer and
Ful'uer lecture 10 them daily, showing
them practical methods of farming and
fruit raising. 1t is practical school
and we are satisfied VIII do worlds of
good. 1t is going to help the farmer
out of the idea that his living is in rails
ing wheat, and will bring him to prac-
tlcal ideas of diversified farming.
