"Men of Genius" ~ [ ."aah - 90, =. ~
men of the greatest genius have written
The mass Of worthless stuff that has been
printed by people who havv not epar's a.
genius is bad enough. 1t is pathetic to coz
slider that most of what even the nlasten
have written is not worth reading now
You remember Enerson's humorous de.
spair when he tried to read all of Goethe.
He got through thirty-ive volumes and then
gave it up as hopeless. There were at least
thirty-fve more. Life was too short.
Some of the great masters have been even
more diffuse. Think Of the ninety volumes
of Voltaire! They may have all been worth
reading once, but not now.
Sometimes kindly friend picks out few
volumes of these great masters and few
people read them. Most folks haven't the
time.
The International Library does much
more. 1t picks only the greatest works Of
the greatest writers. 1t places before the
reader only those works of supreme excel
lence which have survived "the corodng
touch and gnawng tooth of time"
True, its purpose is first of all library OF
good reading, but it is at the same time
library of the best reading. There is moth
ing here which is not worth while.
Consider the endless evenings you might
spend in these volumes, contentedly "brows'
sing" as old DR.. Johnson used TO say.
Consider the things you would learn; the
stimulating thoughts you would meet; the
comparisons between literature old and new;
the amazing vistas of all the ages in when
man has thought and written, that would be
opened.
This is the sort of book that is worth hav'
ing and if you investigate the Wanamaks
Clubs offer you will find why you should
have the library now. A postal card VIII
bring you full information.

Dubois, as is well known, but we
believe he is awfuily mistaken
when he states that there is no
disintegration in the Silver Re-
publican party. Kootenai has
been the banner Silver Republic
can county in the State and right
now it is a matter Of doubt if
there is ever another Silver Re
publican convention in Kootenai,
for reasons stated in these coll
umns last week. Fred is about
the only Silver Republican Of any
consequence in the State who has
not lost all confidence in Demo-
cratic sincerity and square deal
ing, and we make the prediction
now that his fidelity to their in
terests will be met with character
istic treachery in the long run

Protect our Food.

The doctors inform us that
alum is a poison, and that alum
baking powders should he avoided
because they make the food UNI
wholesome. Prominent hygien-
lists, who have given the matter
most study, regard the powders
as an evil that should be suppress
ed by state action. Minnesota
and Wisconsin alum powders are
not permitted to be sold unless
they are branded to warn con-
surners of their true character,
while in the District of Columbia
the authorities have under the
direction of Congress, adopted
regulations to prohibit the use Of
alum in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other
states, as well as those of Mimi
esota and Wisconsin, entitled to
warning of a danger which is
apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole
country entitled to absolute pro-
lection, as the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia are protected,
by legislation which is entirely
prohibitive?
Until we can have protection
in the form of a statute, how car
our state boards Of health, state
analysts or food commissions
better serve the public than by
publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names OIL
the baking powders which they
find to be made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the house
wife in designating the alum pow.
ders to remember that all powders
sold at twenty-five cents or less
per pound are of this dangerou!
class. Pure cream of tartar pow
ders are usually sold at from forty
FIVE to fifty cents a pound.

sentative men i'll whom the peo-
pie have confidence and whom the
people have said should admins
ter their public affairs during the
ensuing two years. The ques-
ton to be determined is what
amount of an annual salary shall
be paid them for decently, respect
ably and officially representing
the public welfare of the county,
so that they may not only live
and breathe out an existence, but
also that they may derive from
their positions a fair and reason
able profit, the same as ordinary
mortals have a right to expect in
other business affairs of life. The
public expect these officials to
give their time and best energies
to their public duties and the peo-
pie in return expect they shall
have due and proper compensa-
ton therefor. J"
That is sound doctrine, The
commissioners of Oneida county
had fixed the salaries at ridicu-
lousy low sums. Taking Judge
Rich's decision in connection with
the supreme court decision, we
are driven TO the conclusion that
county commissioners have
mighty little real power in the
