The insular commission in de-
claring that Porto Rico and the
Philippines are not legally Am
erican territories, seems to have
arrived at this queer decision by
confusion of national and inter
national law. AS a matter of
fact, the commission probably
understood that such decision
would be convenient for various
reasons and therefore fitted the
law to the facts rather than the
facts to the law.

Cling continuously, absorbing all
the best and finest in the intel
lectnal atmosphere about him.
His poor mother at home is
darning, mending and washing
clothes, working INCREASINGLY
that her boy may keep in school.
Are her trials, troubles and
sleepless nights of worry to reap
their reward ? Just step into
college on commencement day
and see Garfield graduate with
honors; see his mother, a little
old woman in a well worn dress
and faded shawl and tear dimmed
eyes, strangely in contrast to
the brilliantly dressed, refined
and educated throng; look at her
eyes filed with tears of joy and
read in them your answer. Re-
ward. Of course it is. The
highest reward a mothers heart
can feel. Don't let Garfield fade
from our view. Follow his steps
you will see him in the House of
Representatives, in the Senate
and at last occupying the Presi-
Dental chair, the highest Office
that can be bestowed by the
people of the United States.
Hold this most beautiful picture
before the eyes of your young
son, before the astonished gaze
of your admiring husband, then
shy a fat iron at the old man,
warm that kids trouser seat and
see that he keeps in school.
There will come a time when he
will go for the pureloye of learn
ing, when all that you can do to
foster that craving for knowl-
edge will be your duty to do, a
time when you may reap a moth
er's reward.

King Corn will have a trium-
phal march through Kansas and
Nebraska this year that even
Funston's soldiers cannot eclipse.
The two states will show up a
crop of 575,000,00O bushels, or
more than one-fourth the total
yield of the entire country. 1t
is estimated that there are IL
200, 900 acres in corn in these
two states. This is equivalent
to a strip of land one mile wide
reaching one and a half times
around the globe. The crop will
be worth about $12O, 1000.

What is the longest day of the
year =? The answer commonly is
June 81; as the shortest day is
supposed to be Dec. q. But
that is not infallible, by any
means. This year, for instance,
June 10 and 20 were both longer
by a whole minute than was the
21st. Byron, in Don Juan, !"
says mo day, not cen the
twenty first of June" sees half
the mischief that just one hour
of moonlight might reveal. and
generally the date is accepted as
unvarying; but the theory does
not hold.

The average reader of the
Salt Lake papers will be glad
when the Utah Battery is retired
to private life, for it is truly be-
coming disgusting the amount of
space the Salt Lake papers use
daily to praise the Utah Battery.
From all accounts the Utah bows
fought bravely, and deserve their
share of credit, but in the man
ner in which Salt Lake papers
daily fill their columns about
them one would think that thew
were the only troops in the
Philippines that did any fighting
but this is a mistake, for all the
troops are entitled to alike hon
ors. Give the Utah Battery a
rest, for they deserve it after
their hard campaign.

We notice that the text books
adopted for Idaho school from
the new trust book firms are a
great deal higher in price than
under the old contract system.
A few more contracts with these
robbing book firms and Idaho
will be without schools, for it
will take all the money to buy
books. But it appears to be any
scheme to tax the people. The
old books were good enough, and
should have been retained in the
schools at least four years long
er, but this would not do.

No man is good enough to gov
ern another man without that
others consent. When the white
man governs himself, that is
elf-government; but when he
governs himself and also governs
another man. then that is more
than self-government-that is
despotism. Our reliance is in
the love of liberty which God
has planted in US; our defense is
in the spirit which prizes liberty
as the heritage of all men in all
lands, everywhere. Those who
deny freedom to others deserve
it not for themselves, and under
a just God cannot long retain it.

Investigation of the subject of
the distribution of terrestrial
magnetism has led to the con-
clusion that the seat of the alb
normal magnetization is within
the layer of the earth's crust.
which is subject to temperature
variations, and that the layer is
thin indeed. To arrive at a
clearer conception of the causes
OF unsymmetrical distribution of
the earth's magnetism, the earth
is supposed to be, in the first in
stance, a uniformly magnetized
sphere, and then it is proposed
to deduct the theoretical magne-
tization from the actual maene-
tization at corresponding points
on the earth's surface. The
chart obtained reveals the exis-
tence of three residual magnetic
north poles and three south
poles. The strongest of the
north poles is situated to the
east of Patagonia. the others be-
ing in China and the United
States. The strongest residual
south pole is in the French Con-
go, and the others are in the
Boring Sea and near Tasmania.
The most important result OBJ
tanned is the determination that
this distribution of the magnetic
irregularities has some connec-
ton with the abnormal distribu-
ton of temperature.

Oh, Mckinley, art thou respon-
sible for the deception of the
American people, hast thou or
dered General Otis to censor the
news, misrepresent the situation
in the Philippines, scatter false
hoods about the Filipinos for fear
that the telling of the truth
would set the people of the Unit
ed States by the ears, set them
against thy empirical policy :?
If SO, assume the responsibility
in manly fashion, seek not to
shift it to other shoulders, stand
forth at the bar of public opinion
and be judged by thy peers. Nor
ask for mercy at their hands for
thou hast precipitated the Amer
lean people into a false and
shameful position by deceiving
them, binding them, misrepres-
enting the facts, art deserving
of none at their hands. We be-
lieve thou art guilty, Mckinley,
but if thou art not, if the facts
have been misrepresented to thee,
If thou has been kept in ignor-
ance of the true situation, if thy
own General has wilfully deceiv-
ed thee, then bring that General
home in disgrace and let thy just
wrath be visited upon his head.
And then follow this up by I'M
doing the wrong thou hast
wrought, cease to make war upon
the Filipinos, accord to them the
right of all men born in the i'm
age of their Creator, the right
to be free and govern themselv-
es, extend to them henceforth
the hand of protection, withdraw
the hand of chastisement, bring
home the troops that have been
engaged in the I'M American work
of crushing a people struggling
to be free. Ii thee can do this
with free conscience do it, Nc
Kinley, and the American people
will forgive thee. But if thee
cannot, beware of throwing blame
upon General Otis that Justly
falls on thine own mantle else he
turn upon thee before the Ameri-
can people and say Mckinley,
thou lest.
On thy western trip in October
o year ago, Mckinley, when thee
put thy ear to the ground thee
heard false note struck by a |
deceived American people in re-
spouse to thy siren song. So
deceived myself thou stepped
falsely. Now that the truth
must out, that thy censors can
no longer hide it, public senti-
ment must run against thee. Be-
ware how thee treads lost thee
loose the last vestige of popular
ity, lest thy party throw thee
over to save itself, deny thee the
nomination thee now feels secur-
cd, give it to Mr.. Reed, thy rival
of 1896.

we've set ourselves the noble TASK
To flnd the real.
II all there is is nought but dross
We want TO know and bear our loss.
We will not willingly be fooled,
By fables nursed;
Our hearts by earnest thoughts are schoole,
TO bear the worst
And we can stand erect and dare
All things, all facts that really are.
We have no God to serve or fear,
No hell to shun;
No devil with malicious leer,
When life is done
An endless sleep may close our eyes,
sleep with neither dreams nor signs.
We have no master on the land
No king In the air.
Without manaole we stand,
Without prayer,
Without fear of coming night;
We seek the truth, we love the light
We do not bow before guess,
vague unknown;
A senseless force we do not bless
In solemn tone
When evil comes we do not curse
Or thank because it is no worse.
When cyclones rend-when lightning blights
TITS naught but fate;
There is no god of wrath who smites
In heartless hate.
Behind the things that injure man
There is no purpose, thought, or plan.
We waste no time in useless dread,
In trembling fear;
The present lives the past is dead,
And we are here,
All welcome guests at life's great feast
We need no help from ghost or priest.
Our life is Joyous, joound, free
Not one a slave
Who bends In fear the trembling knee,
And seek to save
A coward soul from future pain;
Not one will cringe or crawl for gain,
The jeweled cup of love we drain,
And friendships wine
Now swiftly flows in ever vein
With warmth divine.
And so we love and hope and dream
That in deaths sky there is CLEAN.
We walk according to our light,
Pursue the path
That leads TO honors stainless height,
Careless of wrath
Or curse Of God or priestly spite,
Longing to know and do the right.
We love our fellow man, our kind,
Wife, child, and friend.
To phantoms we are deaf and blind;
But we extend
The helping hand to the distressed;
BY lifting others we are blessed.
Loves sacred fame within the heart
And friendships glow;
While all the miracles of art
Their wealth bestow
Upon the thrilled and joyous brain,
And present raptures Danish pain.
we love no phantoms of the skies,
But living flesh,
With passions soft and soulful eyes,
Lips warm ana fresh,
And cheeks with health's red flag unfurled.
The breathing angels Of this world.
The hands that help are better far
Than lips that pray.
Love is the ever cleaning star
That leads the way
That shines not on vague worlds of bliss
But on paradise in this
We do not pray, or weep, or wall;
We have no dread.
No fear to pass beyond the veil
That hides the dead
And yet we question, dream, and guess:
But knowledge we do not possess.
We ask, yet nothing seems to know;
We cry in vain.
There is no master OF the show,
Who will explain
Or from the future tear the mask:
And yet we dream and still we ask.
Is there beyond the silent night
An endless day
Is death door that leads to light
We cannot say.
The tongueless secret locked in fate.
We do not know. We hope and wait

wednesday afternoon, and asked him
If there was any reason why sentence
should not be passed upon him. Tie
defendant admitted he had done
wrong and thought he ought to be
punished, but asserted that it was
against his judgment in giving ear to
friends who induced him to plead not
guilty, and that, under the circum-
stances, he,,considered the sentence i'm
posed by the jury, especially as he
had already been punished sorely
by his Incarceration of nearly three
months in the county jail, was rather
severe. Young said, too, that this
was the first time he was ever the de-
fendant in criminal proceeding, and
assured Judge Butler that it would be
his last offense. Judge Butler took
compassion on the erring man as it
was his first offense, and reduced MS
sentence from three years to two years
and eight months, and admonished
him to go to the penitentiary, serve
his time, try to get out under the
three-fourths rule for good behavior
and then return to his legitimate wife
and atone as far as possible in years
to come for the wrongs he had done.
Young was permitted to talk with
wife No. before she left for her
home, Wednesday afternoon, and it is
said that their meeting and separation
an hour or SO afterward was quite af-
fecting.
Young also expressed a desire to
talk with wife Nos, but she refused to
see him.
