The press dispatches bring the
news that the soldier boys are to
be returned from Manila early in
the new year. In the mean time
the death roll grows. Every name
added to that g,ewsome scroll
since peace was declared Is a mes
sage Of warning that the spirit Of
the contract with the volunteers is
being violated. The volunteers
enlisted to fight the Spauiafds and
not to do garrison duty. The vol
unteers are the distinctive Ameri-
can soldiers. The volunteer has
made the American famous. But
the volunteer OF noble spirit and
dauntless courage chafes at sick
ness and dies under the yoke of
camp duties. There are soldiers
of peace and soldiers Of war. There
is the volunteer and the regular
and each has his special place and
the time has come for the regular
soldier to relieve the volunteer III

Much ado is made about the
fact that members Of congress went
to the rescue of the country in
time Of war, aud did the duty to
which they were called in the only
way that duty could have been
done under the circumstances. A
clause Of the constitution prohibits
the holding Of two Offices. The
fact that certain congressman were
ranking soldiers is magnificd into
democratic outrage. The technical
question of many commissions is
distorted into crime while a
congressman might have served
as private without arousing in
dignation Mr.. Bailey Of Texas
raises this nice point Of politica'
etiquette. He Is persistent il

The question of holding or sell
ing the Idaho timber lands is being
argued by the state press. /, is a
question of whether the state will
hold back her resources and wal,
for private enterprises to make
them valuable or whether the state
will aid in building up our re-
sources There are examples OF
this policy iu private affairs on
every hand. II is the policy OF
ruin. The speculator who holds
his property dormant retards the
community and the state which
holds its resources back is pursuing
a policy of suicide. The timber
resources of the state are controlled
by the policy of state government.

The stock ranges of the Clear

attention at this time. The day for
wholesale stock raising on open
ranges is past in this region. Stock
raising as a farm auxiliary prom
ises good returns for investments.
The outside ranges afford ample
feed for the summer season and
the stubble fields make excellent
winter pasture for stock cattle.
The straw and bunch grass in a
stubble field is equal in value to
two tons Of hay to every acre
These fields can be hired for 9
nominal sum insuring winter feed
for less than one dollar a head
