Washington, ID. c.. Nov 5.-Mrs.

The Arctic Weasel.

In cold countries where snow pre-
walls during long winter many OF the
animals change the hue of their coats
TO white tint. The arctic bear and
fox are white throughout the year.
The northern hare is brown In summer
and white in winter. The weasel is
especially curious. II retains its brown

then whitens in a few hours.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

It is significant that all the great educators and profess OTIS of learning. the best thought of the country, feels called upon to criti- else the administration for the new policy it is forcing on the country.
 When the Cubans ask to be an neXed to the United States the demo- cratic party will warmly welcome them. Will the republicans do as much, or will the trusts that are in- terested in keeping out Cuban prod ucts rule their policy as usual?
 The claim that republican rule brings prosperity to agricultural workers is dispelled by the statistics issued by the agricultural depart ment, which show that the highest wages paid to agricultural laborers was in 1866. and the lowest in 1879, the latter when the republicans had enjoyed long lease of power.
 The ship building trust is clos ing in on Uncle Sam, the purchase of the Bethlehem Steel company by Morgan X Go. will place the manufac- lure of armor plate for our warships lh the hands of one set of men and competition will be eliminated. The united States will now have to pay the price demanded by the trust or manufacture it's own armOr plate.

Farm CTS have not been slow to see the ad- vantages that would accrue to them by the use of hard roads. Likewise they saw the advantages to other ir. dustrles. Wisely they refused to ad5 to their burdens by bearing the sole expense of what others should share. There are few industries that would not share equally with farming the Increased business brought by better modes of transportation. "These busi nesses,' said the farmer, should bear their just share of the burden" Now that they show a disposition to do SO. the farmer will not be remiss in ex. tending all aid possible.

PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
What Is shown by the Reports of the Trust Companies of New
 York.

The profits of some corporations are enormous, and yet they pay but a very small proportion of the taxes for the support of the government. The tariff tax does not touch them and the in- ternal revenue tax to a very small de- gree. The New York Herald publishes a dispatch from Albany which says: "The average profits reported by all of the 40 trust companies doing busi- ness in New York city for the six months ended July are 44K per cent, or at the rate of So per cent. per year. The last 13 of these companies filed their report with the state banking department this week. The Central Realty, Bond X Trust company re- ports profits for the six months of S705, ,3S9 on S1,000, 900 capital. and also reports an increase in undivided prof. it's of nearly S600,OOO The New York Life Insurance & Trust company made profits of $S16,74s on a capital of $l.- 100000, or SIG per cent. The Conti- nental's profits were so per cent, the Fifth Avenues 65 per cent, the Unit ed States Mortgage X Trust company's 45b per cent. and the Title Guaran- tee X Trust company 37 per cent. of it's capital"
 This means that the whole of their capital is nearly doubled every year. No wonder they could afford to make such liberal contributions to the Han' La campaign fund.

NECESSITY OF FREE TRADE.
Tn order to Become a World Power the Chinese Wall Must Come
 Down,

The proud boast of the imperia sts that the United States iS now a world power and not hemmed in by the con hnes of one continent will, if true, also exact other reorganization of policies. The protectionists will find that the fabric of the tariff they have weaved with so much care and trouble cannot exist under the flag of a world power The imperial pol icy of political and commercial ex- pansion may fill their souls with joy, but 1t will not fill their pockets unless they are willing to abate to great extent the protection they have granted to favored interests and mo- nopolies. A world power must allow it's own markets to be invaded by oth- CT nations or they will close their doors for the protection of their spe- cial pets, and commercial expansion is at once put stop to. There is only one way to force trade with for eigners, and that is to take possess sion of the desired country. as we have Porto Rico and the Philippines, give them free trade with Us and prohibitiye tariff against others.
 Are the imperialists. who are also the protectionists. ready and willing to go this far? If not, they mnst re sign the world power business and re- sume the Chinese wall that they have erected 10 keep out foreign products. Of course. in spite of tariffs there will be some trade. if Europe wants bread stutfs. is famis hing for it and they can buy it here cheaper and better than from some other country that has surplus and the tariff against each country is the same. the wheat or flour will be purchase to feed their people.
 A world power must be willing to trade on favorable terms with all na- tions or enter on the other alternative of forcing trade by the power of armies and navies.
 As trade to-day is entirely matter of dollars and cents, the trusts and beneticiaries of the protective tariff, having the home market. want the foreign market also, and they will be quite wiling 10 see the balance of us fight and obtain it for them.
 II is for the people to say if they shaiI have their way or if the tariff wall shall be lowered. even if the trusts are hurt and a fair trade with other na- tions may be inaugurated. The alter ative of fighting they surely will not indulge in. for they would have to do both fighting and paying.

ONE SIDED PROSPERITY.
There Is One Kind for the People and Another for the Tax
 Collector.

Last fall when the hired spellbinders of Hanna were carrying out the Hanna instructions to claim that the greatest prosperity in the history of the coun- try had been brought about by the ad- ministration of President Mckinley there was one Beifeld. of Chicago. who was especially loud on prosperity and short on veracity. The exposure of this hired orator is brought about by the inquisition of the Chicago tax com- mission, which is trying to make these prosperity howlers pay their share of taxes, which from the context they seem very loath to do so. The Chicago News thus tells the story: Both re- viewers and assessors laughed to-day over an interview with $. J. Klein, rep resenting Joseph Bietield &. Co.,, who tried to get a reduction of the firms aSsessment on the ground il was losing money every day. The two boards sat in ioint session When Mir. Klein was in the witness chair to plead the cause of hard times for the manufacturing firm he represents a smile spread over the face of Assessor Gray, who inno- gently asked: How about those pros perity speeches made by Mr. Beifie,d in Central music hall last fall during the campaign, in which he asserted that last year was the greatest year of prosperity he had ever had in his business?' Mir. Klein was taken off his guard for he had finished saying the firm had lost money all of last year and that it was losing more this year. The reference to his partners public statements to the contrary stag- gered him. We'll he stammered, you mustn't take mans political argu- ments too serinuslY'"

ing of durable highways the problem IS mpalatiNely simple. T. is simply a matter of all parties working to- gethcr for the good in which all will share. But where the roads are al- most impossible during the winter months, where the material for road building must oe transported long distances, the problem is of serious dlihculty. It would seem that as the railroads would derive much good from better country roads that they ought to make concessions in trans portation of material. But railroads have moi shown a ''pernicious activi- ty' in forwarding public improve ments of this kind.
 Meanwhile it is not necessary to sit down and wait for good roads to come to us. We spend annually several mil lions of dollars in the repair of roads with no visible improvement. It would seem that this amount wisely used would produce some apparent result. In too many cases the super visor is elected because he is a poor man or as petty reward for some political service. Such one rarely has the interests of the community

RooSEvELT'S CONVERSION.
The strenuous Vice President Learhs Something That May DO
 Him Good.

Vice President Roosevelt is strange being. and time and ambition IS rapld- ly tanning him 10 more temperate ac- tion in word and deed. His latest con versation is thus described by the Washington Times: Tt IS gratlfylng 10 observe that Vice President Roose- relt is becoming conservative, at least in speeeh. In his address at St. Paul he declared that it is both foolish and undignified to indulge in undue self plorification, and above all in loose tongued denunciation of other people. In brief, that we should be moderate of speech, and always say just what we mean.
 This is eminently right. and it af- fords pleasure to bear witness that Mir. Roosevelt has learned something since the close of the Spanish war One of the first things he did after the end Of the conflict was to write a book. and such was the tone of seif-consciousnes pervading it. that it made him a sub lect of ridicule all over the country; not merely with his political op- ponents, but with the more thoughtful members of his own party. For a year or two he paraded up and down the country clad in a rough riders uni form. which was intended 10 be standing advertisement of his great deeds in War. He even wore the rough riders hat when he attended the Phil aCelphia convention.
 But Mir. Roosevelt capped the eli max of his chromosomes when. as the vice presidential candidate of his party, he opened the campaign last year in the same city of St. Paul where he now so earnestly counsels modera- ton in the use of language. In that opening speech he declared that the demoeratic party stood for dishonor at home and cowardice abroad. Demo crats were dishonest because they ad- vocated the free coinage of silver. and towards because they ventured to diff Ter from the administration in regard to Its foreign policy. Ar- Roosevelt was not wiling to admit that his polit- lcal opponents might be honestly in CT TOT. He Jumped them all together and stigmatized them as dishonest and cowardly. And he did this in the face of the fact that there were many silver men and anti-imperialists in the republican party He was called down for it quickly and sharp ". and thenceforth during the cam paign he pitched his music in a lower key.
 And now he returns to the same city and in a subdued tone he tells the people how wise il is to he mod crate ill speech. Ii was peculiarly fitting that he should do this in the city of St. Paul, for the name is strik- ingly suggestive of miraculous con versions. In Mir Roosevelt's case. however. il can scarcely be called conversion He has simply been learning something. That is all"

SOME OBVIOUS TRUTHS.
A Trust Beneficiary Who Is Afraid Combine Products Will He
 Free Listed.

The popular demand that the prod ucts of the trusts be placed upon the free list is giving considerable trouble 10 the republican brethren, They can defeat any revision of the tariff in the next congress. but if the popular feel ing against he protection Of the trusts IS not appea >ed they fear the effect on the elections next year. This is shown by what the New York World says: Congress man Grosvenor. viewing home politics from the judicial dis tance of London hotel, finds peril 0 the republican party and its 'matchless policy of protection in the insidious heresy that tariff schedules on trust made articles should be repealed Of course, says he, the schedules are of no benefit to the trusts. because they can manufacture more cheapiy than the foreigner. To repeal them would be to destroy the inde pendent Amer jean manufacturer, as he cannot pro. duce so cheaply as the foreigner But he fears that many voters, in the ex- citement of political discussion. will overlook these obvious truths"
 There is grave reason for thinking Mir. Grosvenor's fears well founded. Misguided voters may say: Then the trust can manufacture more cheaply than the independent American manu- facturer. That means that the trust will wipe him out anyhow. will give for eign markets the exclusive benefit of cheap production, will use the tariff to rob us "

Buying n Cow.

Dairying is something new in this part of the country. Very few farm CTS know of the real value of good COW. It is generally considered that a COW is worth from s35 to $40, and if she is a common scrub, she is clear property at that price, if milk is worth $1 per 100 and a cow cost $40 per year to feed, and the manure pays for the labor (but it does not), the COW that gives 10000 pounds of milk per year, returns a profit of s60. A cow giving 5000 pounds returns a profit of S10, and one giving 1000 pounds or less, returns nothing; labor and stable room about the same, be-

at heart or is possessed of the iudg- ment necessary to fill so important a position. Think of putting a man in charge of a work on which depends so much of the financial and social life of the farmer. If the money that is annually wasted on our roads was Judiciously spent We would soon be in possession of enyiable highways. The isolation of which some farmers so bitterly complain would be a thing of the past.-Farm and Preside.

sides the offspring from the 1O,000- pound COW is worth at least s10 DOT year, and from the 5,0O0-pounds COW probably S2, and from the scrub, noth- ing.
 Counting the lifetime of a COW n years, the i0,0OO-pound COW gives . profit of s7O0, the 5.Oo0-pound cow SEQ, and the 4,000-pound cow only the value of her calf at birth, and tho service fees taken off that amount.
 When buying COW, we should use the same judgment as we do when buying horse. A small scrub borse will sell for $50 to S60; an ordinary farm or driving horse will sell for S1O0 to S110; but if we want a good draft horse, or a good roadster, we pay $50 10 s2oo, and a good horse will readily sell for this amount, be- cause they are bred to perform the work they are bought for. If this is true of a horse, it is also true of a cow.-Cor. Hoard's Dairyman.
