lie Ran Away From Home and Died
OF Exposure.


Chamberlain, s. ID. About three
weeks ago the ten year-Old adopted son
of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Christopher
son. who live in Lyman county. few
miles west of this city, left his home
and did not return. Christopherson
heard of the boy being at the home of
IL rancher on the White river, but as
the boy had ran away from home be-
fore, he felt no uneasineSs, thinking
that the farmer with whom the boy
had taken refuge. would bring him
home the first time he came to town.
In few days he heard that the boy
had left there to go TO the home of
another farmer, but when the father
got TO the latter place the boy had
again left. \ diligent search was
without success, and the belief was
that the boy had taken refuge with
the indians. The other day while Ole
Margestad was riding over the hills
he found the remains of the boy in a
dry wash-out Wolves had eaten the
flesh from one side of the face and
neck. The verdict Of the coroner
jury was that the death of the lad
resulted from exposure to the weather
\ few months ago the boy ran away
and followed some stOckmen TO this
city. He was returned to his home,
and declared ut that time that he
would never run away again.

That the opponents of civil service
are not without hope of abolishing that
system is evident from the establish
ment of fortnightly periodical in
Washington for the purpose of fighting
openly and above board the obnox-
ious, un-American farce commonly
known as civil service reform" The
easiest way to dispose of the publica-
tion-if it were likely to become for
midable-would be to give the editor
a civil service position, when he would
at once become an enthusiastic admir-
er of the system

or late there Is very noticeable le-
mand on the part of the American
people for higher standard Of litera-
ture. This is not only evident at the
book stalls but on the news stands.
Sensational books and journalism
have had their day in the large cities
Country papers have never been faulty
in this respect. The people are set
Ting down to the belief that after all
the kernel of the nut is really all that
there is to it. In decade sensation
alism and every other dishonest prac-
tice will have disappeared entirely.
Ten years ago 1t looked as If 1t would
go the other way. Only few papers
remained faithful TO the true princi-
pies of journalism. OF the newspapers
the New York Tribune, the Sun and the
Philadelphia Ledger for long time
stood distinguished and interrupted
trio. Among story papers the New
York Ledger stood proudly alone.
These papers have borne aloft the ban
ner CT purity in journalism and today
they are the models sought by ambi-
tious newspaper makers We hope
that the imitators will succeed.

AT a recent meeting of the Medico-
Legal society of New York the conciu-
sion was reached that the smoking OF
cigarettes by adults was not partic-
ularly deleterious habit, if the fumes
were not inhaled into the lungs. Peo-
pie who dislike cigarettes would not
object to them seriously if the inhala-
ton of the smoke was not followed by
It's eXhalation. They are not worried
over the wreck of the smokers lungs,
but do object to the reek in their own
noses.

Just a week ago the United States
court of appeals at st. Louis held that
boycott by labor against capital is
a criminal conspiracy. Now an illi-
nois state court at Chicago has decid-
ed that a "blacklisting" by capital
against labor is equally unlawful and
had awarded "blacklisted" laborer
S21, GG6.33 damages. If the boycott
were sound in law, then the blacklist
would also be sound. But these courts,
dealing out even justice, have declared
the truth that blacklist and boycott
are equally odious. equally hostile to
democratic institutions and ideas. 1t
is fortunate that these two decisions
came so closely together. The object
lesson they present will not be los:
upon either labor or capital.
