There is much doubt as to what is
meant and included in the $500 ex-
emption granted by the last legisla.
ture. The old 5000 exemption prior
to '97 and '9S covered, as well as house
hold furniture, the stock on a farm,
such as cows, horses, hogs, etc. In '97
and '9S the legislature passed an act
raising this $500 to $500, which was
knocked out, leaving no exemption
for the farmer. This legislature passed
an act granting $500 exemption but
limiting the things subject to this ex-
emption to household goods and tools.
The clause reads: "All necessary
wearing apparel for himself and fam
lily, one bed and bedding for himself
and family, one bed and bedding for
himself and one additional bed and
bedding for each additional member
of his family; all necessary household
and kitchen furnishings and all nec-
essary tools of trade, in all not to ex-
coed $780,"

Judge Prather OF Spokane, see ms
receding from his former position
which he held as trial judge in the
Webster case and is shifting since
Governor Rogers lays the responsible
ity of Communication upon him. If such
a thing be.possible that Webster did
not fire the fatal shot which killed a
mother, his intentions were just as bad
when he started from Cheney for the
Aspland home with a gun, whiskey
and drugs coupled with threats that he
would have his own way or kill some
OF the "Swedes." While death on the
scaffold is hard yet it is the proper
way to have the penalty paid, thereby
putting such monsters away where
they can do no further harm and
warning others who may be similarly
inclined. True, life imprisonment is
heavy punishment, but the cases are
few where convicts are held in the
penitentiary for life time even when
it is SO decreed. They usually gain
liberty some way in few years and
are seldom reformed.

The chronic kicker is the man who
fancies himself the target of every
shaft, the one who boards wealth for
strangers to spend, he who has old
fashioned ways to do all new things,
the man who finds no church good
enough for him, the one who hates to
see Others enjoy themselves, the one
opposed to everything others want
and last but not least the one who
shifts the tax burden on others, if he
can by hiding his hoardings in mort
cages in out OF way places. Withal
the kicker is useful. He advertises
those he hates by finding fault with
all they do, he usually monopolizes all
the sourness in the town, thus leaving
it easier for others to be bright. The
sunshine is used sparingly by him for
fear it might on some occasion warm
his heart and let him gaze in the mir
ror of life, to see picture of himself.
He is benefit to the community by
occupying a space no one else would
fill.

The Sheldon edition of the Topeka

The Sheldon edition of the Topeka
Daily Capital of Topeka, Kansas,
which created widespread comment
throughout newspaperdom, has issued.
Mr.. Sheldon was granted the privilege
by the proprietors OF the Capital to
place in execution the idea he advan-
ced in his book publication, "In His
Steps" as to how Jesus would conduct
a daily newspaper. The liberal offer
was accepted and from March Is to II
the world was given the chance to see
and criticise one mans comprehen-
sion OF the divine mind. Many who
were expecting to see some great rev.
olution or epoch OF the press were
mildly surprised at the production.
His selection of news matter, nothing
sensational, and the Importance of
subjects pertaining to general welfare
over the cruelties and crime Of human
ity were the principal diversions. The
exclusion of undesirable ads. and the
requirement of signatures by cores
pondents and reporters were other
features. The success OF the enterprise
is attested by the fact OF 10000 sub
scriptions being taken the first day.

A preacher in Fort Scott, Kansas,
preached brief but beautiful funeral
sermon the other day. Here it is: ga
word to you all: Post mortem praise
and love are in the air. People kiss
their dead who never stoop to kiss
their living; they hover over open
caskets in hysterical sobs, but fail to
throw their arms about their loved
ones who are fighting the stern battle
of life. A word of cheer to struggling
soul in life is worth more than the
roses of all Christendom piled high on
casket covers. The dead cannot smell
the flowers, but the living can; scatter
them broadcast in their pathway,
therefore, and pluck out the thorns
before it is too late.

From observation and hearsay we
are led to believe that if the board of
education would employ home teach
ers for our public schools they would
not only please the citizens and pat

Surely instructors can be procured
here among us who are qualified and
can furnish as good credentials as
those coming from abroad.

The persistency of the Spokane at

WHY THIS STATE WILL GROW.

Prof Spillman, OF the state agricul-
tural college, takes an enthusiastic
view of the future of this state. In a
lecture few days ago to the students
of the Blair business college, as report
ed by the Spokesman Review, he said
among other things:
81 am an expansionist, not necces-
sarily for grabbing the territory Of
weak peoples, but am for CONNER
cial expansion. By the Pacific trade
OUR markets will not depend on New
York and Liverpool. The Rocky
mountains are wider than the Allan
tic ocean in a commercial sense.
Twenty-Five years will see Chicagos
and New Yorks on our coast, and we
will be the most favored spot in AM
erica. That is what brings many far
seeing men to the Northwest. The
open door policy in the far east will
do wonders for our trade. The crust
has been broken in fossilized China,
and our trade in flour and lumber and
other natural products has advanced
by leaps and bounds, and will continue
to do so. Prepare, as the business
men OF the next decade, to take pro-
per advantages of your privileges.
Proper preparation is necessary for
success in every avenue OF trade"

Is the common enc ~ of mankind.
Against him every hill should be
raised. He is ther craitor to his
country, but to free institutions, to
human liberty, to the independence
and the worth of man. Let us turn on
the calcium light and follow the slimy
trail to his lair. Such man is a cor
rupter OF the people, spreading his net
OF temptation everywhere. He assails
honor and traffics in self respect. 1t
is nothing to him that men go down
to their graves in infamy and stand
before their Maker in the agony of the
lost, so that their purchased souls are
stepping stones to his ambition. 1t
is nothing to him that all for which
our heroes fought and our fathers toll
ed should be no better than shop of
shelf-worn merchandise. He is the
personification in modern political life
OF all those abhorrent forces in the
universe that-are united in the legend
OF Father OF Evil. Because this man
walks among us everywhere disguised
as liberal citized, good father, gem
erous friend, it behooves us to beware
lest we forget that he carries within
him all potency OF destruction for man
and for the state. The American peo-
pie must rise against this looming
phantom OF dishonor everywhere,
must strike at it in the little and the
great, must vindicate- their sulled
honor ard put the Office buyer beyond
all place for pardon if they would be
true to themselves, their brothers, their
