"F1GETING JIM's" BREAKFAST
by Dewey's Goodness
ut Manila.

There was grim humor In Dewey
when he stopped sinking the Spanish
feet in order that the boys might not
miss their breakfast, as well as Wis
dom that is too infrequently accepted
by military leaders.
The admiral's coolness recalls an in
cident that TOOK place in Mobile bay
about third of century ago, says
the Detroit Free Press. James E.
Jouett, afterwards rear admiral, was
then lieutenant commander and In
charge of one Of the union vessels. He
had an early morning unpleasantness
with a confederate boat, commanded
by Lieut.. Murphy who had been
Jouett's classmate at Annapolis, where
they were warm friends before the
war.
On discovering who his enemy waa,
Jouett Immediately ordered a fine
breakfast prepared and set doggedly
about the task of having his odd chum
present rs guest. After some hot
fighting he succeeded In capturing
Murphy's boat. That gentleman went
upon the deck where his captor stood
ready to receive him, the defeated Off
Ger having one arm in sling and using
his free hand to make a formal sur
render of his sword. Appearing not to
notice this, Jouett laughingly chided
his friend for keeping breakfast wait-
ing and escorted him to the table.
Murphy was hungry man end after
be had eaten like harvest hand. said:
"Jouett, if you had only sent me word
about this breakfast I wouId-hare-sur-
rendered an hour ago"

Preaching and PrGcticine.

The Boston Transcript tells a school
story which enforces the lesson that
preaching is of little use without prae-
ticing. In school in Boston not far
above the primary grade, the teacher
was one day reading n story the sub
ject OF which was borrowing. She sup
plemented the reading with some re-
marks of her own, which she closed
with this parting adrnonition: above
all things, children, when you have oc-
casion to borrow. never forget 10 re-
turn the borrowed article. Do not put

the earth. like broad equator, flowed
the ocean stream separating the
light from the darkness, the living from

the steep road over the upper firma-

ME extension of

The extension of republican
principles is not imperialism.
Every political organization under
our plan of government Is in a
measure independent. There
seems to be some confusion abou,
the control of our new territory.
The opposition harps about self.
government when the expansion
lists never propose any other form.
If these islands are made states or
territories they will govern them
selves. One would Judge from the
platitndes of the democratic papers
and the harangues of the demo
cratic orators that the extension OF
republican principles meant i'm.
perialism or even tyranny. The
fact is extension and expansion
means only self government. 1t
mean that we would save the peo-
pie from the tyranny of Spain and
other monarchies and that we
would save the masses from the
tyranny of their own uncivilized
leaders who would rule not by the
voice of the people but by the
force of arms.

The visit of President Mckinley
to the south and his participation
in a celebration with the pt ople
who radically differ with him in
politics, emphasized very com
mendable public policy that has
been manifested throughout this
administration. President McKinly
has done much to remove the last
vestige of federal strife that has long
existed i'll the south against the
the north. The political differ
ences are distinct from the per-
sonal preiudices that have so long
existed. The president Is, of all
others, the man to bring the two
sections together in sentiment,
Mr.. Mckinley is a partisan, but
he has. more than any other presi-
dent, impressed upon the people
that he recognizes all parties in
our nation and that he is president
OF the whole United States. The
late visit to Savannah, Georgia, OF
the president and members of his
cabinet almost obliterated politi-
cal barrier that was above party
and source of deep interest. Nc
Kinley's personality and diplomacy
has done more to bring North and
South together than all the plat
forms and all the laws have done
in years past

The retiring county administta-
ton adopted sort Of step-mother
policy toward the new citizens OIL
the reservation. The feeling pre-
vailed that these citizens must be
taken into the family, but thoee
who had control of the county
purse strings looked askance at
them because they did not contri-
butte a very large total sum of taxes
toward the current running ex
penses. The incoming officials
should reverse this stingy policy.
In these new neighbors and in the
new farms of that region lies our
future hope not only for public In
come, but for commerce generally.
The business of the reservation
has been proportionately very
large in the past, and il promises
rapid growth. That district
deserves fostering care for its
present Importance as we'll as for
the future. When the farms of
that district are patented and i'm
proved the balance of wealth will
be beyond the borders of the
reservation. The reservation de-
serves liberal county policy.
Roads and schools should be fos-
tered in every possible way. The
step mother policy should be
abolished when the new officers
are inaugurated.

1t Is an economic axiom that
speculative and prospective wealth
induce unsettled and dangerous
business conditions. But the vigor
OF this community is not due to
mere stimulant. Our resources
have been dormant through past
ages. The opening of new veins
makes the pulse of commerce run
high. Our little bushes world is
at fever heat. II is not the fever
that consumes vitality. 1t is the
warmth of the active life that de-
velops strength. Renewed energy
will make manifold our harvests
from farms, orchards and gardens
as the seasons come and go. Bet
ter markets will promote new in
dustries. The farms will be called
upon to produce meats, and dairy
and poultry products, and the or.
chards and gardens to meet the de-
mand for dried, preserved and
canned fruits and vegetables. The
mines in the mountains will make
our markets even better than they
are now, after every farm is fac
tory. IL thousand farm factories
in the Lewiston valley would build
up city here, bounded only by
the rimrock on one side and Craig
Mountain on the other. The dis
tinctive characteristics of this val
ley soil and climate give us inesti-
mable commercial advantages.
Our crops and manufactures have
a season that forestalls competition.
We have the mo It productive dis
trict in the Tinted States and
market of our own. Is 1t not evil
dent that this great prosperity is
not a boom hut a normal condition
resulting from logical economic
inherrnt and per-
petual.

The political managers have out
lined very little new work for the
incoming Legislature. The old
laws will be vivi6ed, and this work
will suggest many amendments.
Half the session will be consumed
in this thankless task. The EN-
bryo statesmen will by that time,
be full of their own Importance.
Brilliant ideas will fill half hun.
dred mental magazines and these
ideas will explode without pro vo'
cation, The danger of the day is
not that too little will be done but,
that laws will be passed to burden
the people and to unduly interfere
with individual rights. The ten
dency of modern American law
makers has been to burden the
people and the courts with too
many arbitrary rules. The agita
tons and resultant legal enactments
aimed at personal liberty within
the past 20 years, have not made
the people more temperate or moral
than they were before. Laws do
not educate the people against the
evils ST society, nor do they remove
the temptations from the paths of
those who are by degraded tastes
inclined to be immoral. In the
state as in the household the only
way to build up strong character
is to fortiiy the individual against
the temptations that beset him on
life's journey. We have too many
penalties that are made to be
violated in spirit if not in letter.
The lesson too often taught by
prohibition and social
ethics, is that the vio.ators of law
and precept are not dishonored in
the breach, but in the detection of
the crime or social sii. The statutes
should. make fewer crimes and
more examples of the vengence of
outraged justice. More criminal
statutes are recorded in the states
of this union than in any of the
monarchies Of Europe and more
prorata arrests are made in free
America than i'll the whole world.
The statute degning the crimes, we
have more criminals than any
other government. At the same
time it is recognized that we are
the most moral people in the
world if we could be measured by
any universal rule of civilized
The lesson of these
should be a valuable
guide to lawmakers generally. Is
it not fact that too many statu.
tory restrictions have a tendency
to teal down rather than to build
up individual character and the
superstructure of public morals?
Is 1t not therefore in order TO
direct note of warning to the
Idaho lawmakers at this oppor-
tune time.
