TEN PAG E


A week ago The TIMES join ed in a
hearty welcome to our city to the far
mers of the county. Today it doffs its
editorial hat as gracefully as that may
be done, for it's not often that news.
papers are placed in the position of re-
spending to thanks for their help, good
will and sympathy, and hence the quail
ificatlon of the gracefulness of the bow
in recognition of the compliment paid
itself along with its contem poraries in
the last of the resolutions adopted Tues
day by the Shiawassee County Farmers
Institute. The TINES has always be-
lieved in the advantages of the farmers
clubs and in the extension of the adj
vantages by the forming of more clubs.
In fact it is now matter of pride to
this paper to recall the fact that before
the days when the club movement be-
came general and popular, and farmers
clubs were few and almost unknown in
Shiawassee county, for long time be
fore any other paper in the county
published reports of any clubs meet
ings, it contained regular reports from
both the Maple River and the Burton
clubs. Anything which it has been able
to do to assist those already in exis-
tence or to aid in the formation of new
ones by showing the good the ones al
ready formed are doing their members.
or otherwise, it has always been ready
and anxious to do and it will be as glad
to do it in the future as it has been in
the past. And instead of considering
it burden or an expense it will con.
tinue to feel itself highly honored to
have part in the Improvement of the
social advantages enjoyed by the far
mers of our county by helping spread
wider the knowledge of the advantages
Of all club or institute work. 1t always
has space In its columns for every re.
port of every club in Shiawassee county
or those on Its borders. No one can
tell the good which single report of a
club meeting may do In setting the
minds of others to thinking why they,
too, should not enjoy the same privi-
leges. This is no sudden burst of gen.
crosby, but is, and has been, the posi-.
ton of this paper all the year around
during not only the months, but the
years when no such recognition of the
work of the newspaper as that in the
ninth resolution referred to has been
given. 1t does not expect or ask
thanks, but only that it may be made
use of to even q greater extent than
ever in advancing the interests and well
fare of all. and particularly that largest
class of its readers, the farmers of the
community, and those whose interests
are most closely connected with farm
life. At the same time it Is a pleasure
to see the appreciation which is ex.
pressed in the resolution adopted by
the Shiawassee County Farmers Insti-
tute and The TIMES is glad to assure
those who attended and were instru-
mental in the passing of the resolution
that it is appreciated.

services and of his sacrifices when they
were without hope and Of his readiness,
at all times to put on the armor and go
forth to battle even when he knew he
was leading a forlorn hope.
All considerations Of party or personal
preferences appeal to every voter to use
his influence and power in seeing that
Idaho is properly represented in con-
gress, especially at this time. Idaho
needs her best men at every. pest; no
place is more important than that of rep
resentative i'll the national legislature,
and the only hope Of Idaho's being we'll
represented in the house lies in the cleo
ton of MIR. Morrison. If elected, he will
command the confidence and respect of
every member of the house, and will
make his influence felt for the good Of
Idaho in every circle in the national cap
ital. No one that knows him will doubt
that he will prove himself true friend
OF the people and that no interest of
Idaho, or of any of her sons and
daughters, will be allowed to suffer
through any neglect or fault of his.
There should be no hesitation in the
mind Of any voter about determining to
vote for Mr.. Morrison. Every consider
alton of duty aud selfinterest demands
such decision.-Bo Statesman.

oiA TIC scHool lanuS suitable for
civilization was sold in the year 1891 and
1902 under Governor Willey's anminis-
tration. The hard times which followed
the election of President Cleveland rem
deredl impossible for the purchasers OF
these lands to pay either the interest or
principal due the state. In 1870, and
1894 the republican state board carried
these delinquent people, and when the
legislature met, in January 1895, Nc
Connel, the then governor, asked that
body to pass a bill extending the time
for the payments two years, which was
accordingly done; upon the advent Of
Governor Steunenberg and the fusion
party in the state house the title to most
of the lands was forfeited and thoselwho
purchased them lost the ten per cent they
originally paid besides the improvement
they had made upon their places. And
the people thus elected became renters
instead of owning their own homes
until many of them. under the favorable
legislation of republican congress, en-
dorsed by republican president, took
refuge upon the Nez Perce reservation
and now own the roots which shelter
them.
1t the democratic party can bring
themselves to believe that their conduct
i'll ejecting these people from their homes
was IN the best interests Of the state OF
Idaho as we'll as good government, they
are welcome to that consolation. The
interest which these purchasers would
have paid the state, had they been given
the opportunity 10 retain their homes,
would have amounted to more than the
rentals which are now the boast of this
''wise and economical administration"
Another method resorted to by
democratic speakers during the
present campaign is to refer to the
reduced state levy as an evil
dence of the economy of the present in
cumbent of the state house at Boise. The
democratic platform, however, dispels
this illusion when it points with PRIDE
to the increase of assessment of state
property to $50, 900 900. In 1896 the to
tails of the assessed values of property in
the state of Idaho was less than SAG 900,
600 The state levy this year made on
$50, 900, 600 will produce approximately
$50, 600 more revenue than did the levy
of 1896, higher though it was, on f29,-
ooo, 900. Had the levy in 1896 been the
full ten mills limit, it could not have
equalled the enormous sum thus wrung
from the taxpayers by this wise and eco
nomical administration.

John T, Morrison.

Iohn T. Morrison, of Caldwell, is to
say the least that can be said of him. the
peer of any man who ever asked OF a
western constituency seat in the ma
tional house of representatives. This is
by no means partisan estimate of the
man-it is the verdict of all those who
know him best, irrespective of party. We
all know him to be thoroughly equipped
for every task that may come to him,
and for every duty that may present IT.
self
In the best and fullest sense of the
term, Mr. Morrison is an educated man,
being an honored graduate of some OF
the first institutions of learning in the
country. AS student and scholar, he
holds the highest testimonials that could
be given, or that were ever given by the
institutions through which he passed
with the highest honors. In his chosen
profession of the law here in Idaho, and
wherever he is known throughout the
northwest, he has won for himself place
in the foremost ranks. He has endeared
himself to all who know him, is admired
by all his neighbors, and is loved by his
friends. He is comparatively young
man, full of vigor, courage and ability
Idahoans need not be told, that III all
his interests, all his hopes and aspira
tons, he is completely identified with
Idaho and devoted to her welfare. Re

No Insult Intended.

Philadelphia Record: While his meal was being served on Saturday night to a West Walnut street exquisite, whom the excessive expenditures of Christ mas week had reduced to cheap res taurant, he showed displeasnre with the manner in which things were served. The constant rattle of dishes on the hard tables and the believing of the walters as they announced their orders to the cooks at the end of the room made him nervous. When the busy waiter deposited his order before him the young man began fusillade of reproach on the substantial but hopely 9iands. Do you call that veaX cut iet?" he demanded of the Waiter. Why, such a outlet as that is an in- suit to every self-respecting calf in Bucks county The waiter hung his head for moment, but on recovering himself. said, in tone of quiet apol- ogy: T really didn't intend to insult you. sir"

PHILIPPINE INSANITY.
Tho United States Government Invos-
 tigating Mysterious Disease,

tigating a Mysterious Disease,
 Much attention has been called to the number of men in the army serving in the Philippines who hare gone in sane. The government has sent a special commission out there to inves- tlgate the matter, and there has been talk of mysterious disease called the "Soudanese Fever" It is believed by some that this disease is peculiar to East Indian and African tropics; that 1t was this which caused Dr. Peters to get into trouble for killing Africans and made the French officers in the in terior of Africa recently s,ay other of fieers sent to their relief. Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuck and frenzied, kills right and left until he himself is killed. The word "amuck" is corruption of the jayanese word "amoak," to kill There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally goes crazy through an overlndulgence in opium or hasheesh and, springing from his shack" runs naked through the streets of the vil- lage, killing all whom he may meet. When in a Malay village the cry "Amuck" is raised, i. is like the cry of Mad dog!" in an American village, and the populace turns out with long bamboo spears and kills the man as soon as they can. But the .tSoudanese fever," if it exists, is another thing apparently. It may be that the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa is only a variation of apoplexy brought on by indulgence in heating and stimu- lating foods. The London Lancet re- gently had something about the alleg- ed disease. People who had been af- fiicted with it and had recovered said that they had a sudden sensation of desire to kill, and that they saw red" A sudden affiux of blood to the head and the bursting of blood vessel would produce insanity or coma. In northern climes it more usually re- suits in coma; in the tropics it seems to result in insanity. All the soldiers of our army in the Philippines who have been sent back as insane have been violent.

FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
"The Chamber of Horrors" Which Was
 Built Hundred Years Ago.

One of the euriesities in England at present is the old convict ship Success, which has recently been converted into museum, or into what foreign jour nalist style "a chamber of horrors" ]" She was built l10 years ago, and her first years were spent in cruising be- tween the East Indies and England. In 1929 the British admiralty bought and statNned her in the waters of western Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place the town of Perth in Australia takes it's name. From 1847 to 1851 the Success piled between London and had on board several hundsad immi grants who intended to seek their for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes. The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Van Diemens Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as floating prison for especially dangerous crin- inals. The vessel then became popu- larly know mas "The Hell of the Ocean,, title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insubordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old 1nstru- ments of torture and number of wax figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Sue cess, and are attracting crowd or sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Harsor, in Scotland.--New York Herald.

NEW SOURCE OF cuTTAPERcHA
4 German Says the Trees That Produce
 It WiIl Grow in the Philippines.


 In monograph, just published in Germany, it is shown that the Philip pines are among the few places on earth in which the trees from which guttapercha is procured will flourish. The value of this statement is not to be underrated for two reasons: One is that guttapercha is an indispensable material for the making of submarine cables and golf balls; the other is that the trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from which the chief supply has hi lerto been drawn are almost entirely ex- hausted. The cause of this exhaus- tion lies in the primitive and destruc- tive methods which were formerly em- ployed for gathering this valuable commodity. The natives who never have any thought for the morrow have ruthlessly cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the guttapereha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark. This whole sale destruction carried on for years has greatly diminished the annual crop, but the discovery that these trees grow dLu cdH De successfully Cuftl- yated in the Philippines offers. hope that new mine of wealth has been found for American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacified While the chief use of guttapercha is, of course, for the isolating covering of electric wires, large quantity is used for the manufacture of golf balls, for which no other material seems so well adapt ed. It's hardness after having been submitted to the proper pressure, and it's toughness make it the only golf ball material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1856 is some 41,853 knots, representing cost for the cables alone of millions of pounds sterling, and as the prospects are that during the next fifty years many more cables will be required and laid, the demand for guttapereha is almost un- limited. The wealth which gutta- percha in the Philippines holds out to American enterprise is in proportion to this demand

Playing Cards.

The amount of playing cards used in the world is something VOL derful. The United States manufac- lures great quantities. and also imports many for use. Germany possesses thiTty-four playing-card factories. which last year produced 5,260, 900 packs. Of this quantity 4,9s7 ,O0O went into circulation, paying duty of l., 420000 marks. No duty is paid on those exported, of which large part come to this country
