The vague insinuations in regard

found wanting The present owner
book was ordered by the republican
county court of the time, Noney Col
Wig, judge, in order to bring under
assessment property that was osoap'
ing taxation. j. O, Booth was one
Of the compilers. Instead Of rccoiy-
ing stated sum for their work, the
compilers were to receive certain
per cent ON all property brought un'
der assessmsent which had before es-
capped taxation. The amount Of this
went greatly in advance of the oNpoc-
tations Of all parties and made the
cost Of the book seem enormous The
Observer with an air of discovery,
now reproduccs "a Courier editorial Of
Jerry Nunan's time, criticising the
book and its cost, calling It n steal
and inquiry, "Who got the money!
This editorial, rs the Observer man
we'll knows, was intended as II criti-
cism of the county courts method of
transacting business and also contain

The reputation OF J. o. Booth ior
integrity Is not OF so Himsy character ~
to be affected by the insinuations, not
assertions, which his political enemies
are endeavoring to spread. They are
resoIting to unclean methods, which
shows 10 what lengths they are driven
in order to find material to oppose him.
Here is one of the brilliant reasons ad-
vanced by his enemies and actually
advocated as q reason why he should not
be elected: Mr.. Booth is known TO be
a benevolent man and generous with
his own money. His enemies try to
turn this In his disiavor and Say that
he will give away the county funds, a
most senseless idea TO advance and not
by any means vote maker, for the
people are not blind nor are they de-
pendent on political manipulators for
their Information. They have discern
ment and they know that the generous
man, being considerate OF the wants
aud rights Of others beside himself,
ia the man who may safely be placed
In positions Of trust.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER IS
MADE.

The Health Department Of New
York has seized quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which 1t found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to 1t by the low price at which 1t was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be IAN alum POWDER"
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly of alum apd pulverized
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroyed. 1t is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
Cheap" articles Of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class, cream of tar
tar brands are the most economical,
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
lions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they Will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. when
ironing have a bowl of water and
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top Of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give 1t
distinctness. After the shirt waist Is
ironed 1t should be we'll aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Dry of Reckoning VIII Come.

Times are good and the Americans
are ong-suffering. For the time being
the politicians may find it safe to fool
the people by juggling with the trust
question. But should there come a
general business depression the party
in power would have to give strict
account of its stewardship. Neither
the party that had permitted them to
usurp unlimited power nor the trusts
themselves could expect to escape un-
scathed from the ordeal.

Wherever white races have come
into contact with black or brown men
there has been the same revolving
story of murder and rapine, bloodshed
and torture and of the rapid moral de-
terioration of the whites. All these
things were pointed out in 1898, before
the Senate, blinded by the lust of land
and the greed of golo, supported Mr.
Mckinley in buying the Filipinos like
so many cattle. Now it is plain that
colonizing Americans are not one whit
better than colonizing Italians or Ger
mans or French or English.

that he was acting within the rules

out over the world, that the civilized

accused the crime seemed so atrocious

he was crazy. Now that he is found
neither guilty nor crazy it would be
