No man ever returned from for
eiyn land to he greeted with greater
enthusiasm or more universal delight
than George Dewey, the nations hero.
His achievement in Manila bay, when
he sank Montejo's Spanish fleet, was
such daring and brave feat that it
stamped him as one of the few gen.
fuses Of war the world has produced.
From that time to this, through most
trying and fretful conditions and cir
cumstances. he has maintained so
masterful control of himself, and dis
played such decision and precision in
the execution of his arduous duties,
that his name is rightly the synonym
of a perfect man, commander and dip

For the next few weeks the very sky
overhanging the whole country will
resound with the praises of Admiral
George Dewey, idol and ideal man Of
the nation. Too much cannot be said;
the language does not afford words too
strong for the occasion.

On Monday tn E Kootenai coun-
ty boys will reach Occur d'Alene
on their return from the Philip
pines.
A year ago last May, in eager
response to their country's call,
with the explicit understanding
that their services could be accept
ed only in the cal opacity OF privates,
they laid aside their peaceful avo-
cations and went forth to avenge
the Maine. Uni taught, unskilled
in the art of war, citizens suddenly
called upon to perform the duties
of soldiery; amid the cheers of
their fellow citizens; amid the
tears of their loved ones; amid the
envy of less fortunate comrades,
they babe good bye to their homes
and country and sailed away, ask
ing only place IN the front line
of battle-to be led against the
enemy
And Kootenai county, the SOW
reign state of Ida no, the great ma
ton which holds their allegiance,
has cause to be proud of them.
The record shows that not one Of
them has faltered in his duty-his
whole duty. In the camp, in the
trenches, on bloody Coolacan have
they shown the metal of which
Americans are m ade. And more
1t has been their S to show to the
world that, in the valor, in the in
telligence, in the courage and
pluck and dash of its citizens,
America needs no standing army.
And the boys will be home
Monday. All kootenai county
stands with open arms to welcome
them.

THERE has been a lamentable
faux pas in the casting up OF last
weeks sound money prosperity as
shown by the clearing house re-
turns. The acknowledgements
report gives Seattle gain of 1886
per cent over the week in 1903,
while Bradstreet gives the increase
as but 1903 per cent. There has
evidently been misunderstood
ing as to the ratio of padding to be
used in the makeup of these re
turns, and the P. |. tearfully re-
monstrates with Bradstreet. When
it is taken into consideration that
the clearing houses are but associ-
ations of bankers, and that the
bankers are particularly interested
just now in showing high pres
sure prosperity with which to daz-
zle tie eyes of the people while
they slip their banking and cur
rency bill through, these clearing
house returns cut but little ice.
They fool no one. The payment
in advance of the bond interest on
Oct. l.; the issue of many millions
of bank currency with which to
exc out the insuficiency OF gold,
reveals the true state of affairs.
| When there is substantial pros
perity in the country the people
will know it and rejoice in it, But
the prosperity that bears the clear
ing house brand is of no use to
them. 1t is the kind that throws
the meat to the banker and the
corporation, and the bones to the
common people.
