Colonel Bryan's friend, Colonel Nose.

Colonel Bryans friend, Colonel Moses Wetmore of St. Louis. is not the only
 man who knows how to BUSTING bust the trusts. Colonel THE Wetmore's system is TRUSTS infallible. He has made
 several millions by working it. lie makes a speciality of tobacco. He builds tobacco factories. advertises his goods, has democratic ''chew Wetmore's Best" or whatever it is. fiourishing business is worked up to the hurt of the tobacco trust, and the trust is forced to step in and buy Colonel Wetmore out at a big profit to the Colonel. It is plain that if the system is kept up long enough he will bust the tobacco trust so badly that some of the pieces will fly as high as Gilroy's famous kite. The trouble about working the system with just one man is that the trust buster, after accommodating many millions is likely to permit his zeal to flag. This inn putation has been made against Colonel Nose, and we fear it will take much prodding from Colonel Bryan to keep the great, original trust smasher in harness.
 But should Colonel Wetmore retire frons the business of protecting the '-comn1on people, he will be entitled 10 a monument for what he has done. As a successful pioneer he has pointed the way He will have plenty of imitators. Indeed, one Of his disciples has already achieved such success with the Wet more system that he will soon divide fame with the old man. We refer to Colonel George Woolsey of Terre Haute, Ind. Colonel Woolsey's pet aversion is the whisky trust. He evi- dently proposes to bust the whisky trust if he has to stay with it long term of years. He began operations by unloading some distilleries on the trust at Nebraska City, Neb., some = years 'ago-at a big profit, of course. With his war bags filled with the gold of the hated trust ne proceeded to build more distilleries and sell them. He constructed the factories for the pro duction of tarantula juice at Terre Haute, at Vincennes, and finally at Hammond, Ind, and the obliging trust took the distilleries off his hands as fast as recuired-untiI he began oper- ating the Hammond plant. Then ac- cording to the dispatches, the whisky worm turned. The confiding whisky trust began to see its finish. The profits from much honest labor were being transferred to Colonel Woolsey's bank account with a regularity which no trust could stand. So, a few days ago, the trust appealed to the federal courts of Indiana for protection. It alleges that when it bought the Vim cennes distillery Colonel Woolsey pro- fessed to be satisfied and promised to goad his enemy no more. It alleges that he refused to keep his promise and it does not wish to be forced into buying the Hammond plant. It remains to be seen whether an injunction will lie against the operation of this new distillery. If the hard-hearted court refuses to give relief We see no recourse for the whisky trust but to go out of the trust business.
 The Wetmore- Woolsey system for busting the trusts is the most practical yet devised. It beats out of sight all resolutions which merely view with alarm

Washington dispatches state that surances recently made to various com- mittees of congress, has arranged for a gradual reduction of the military force in the Philippines to about g, 900 men. Orders have been sent to General Chaf- fee. commanding the division of the Philippines, to arrange to send home all the regiments under his command that were sent to the Philippines in 1899. About 13,OOO troops are affected by these orders. The movement will be made very slowly, a regiment at a time. in the order in which they ar rived in the Philippines. and in each spared without embarrassment and without impairing the military control of the situation. All the troops sent out in 1898 already have been recalled to the United States with the excep- tion of those who re-enlisted for service in the archipelago. When all the fresh troops in the United States under orde: to the Philippines have arrived there it is calculated that General Chaffee will have an effective fighting force of nearly S2.OO0 men. exclusive of the reg iments of 1899, which are to be brought home at his earliest convenience. Ii is not believed that it will be possible for the first of these troops to leave the Philippines for at least three months.

THE STATE TICKET.

lIlL Ol d1G 11OhL1s
The State Democratic ticket
nominated at Pocateilo on Sept.
5th, is considered to be a very
strong ticket, and one that is
almost sure winner. The con-
vention which nominated the
ticket was undoubtedly the larg
est and most harmonious polite
al gathering of the kind ever
held in the State.
The platform adopted, which
appears in full elsewhere in this
issue, is clean-cut and appeals to
reason and logic of every intel
ligent voter in Idaho, although
the Democrats borrowed many
planks from the Populist plat
form. The platform thus ad-
opted by the Democracy of Ida
ho is right to the point on all
the leading issues, and says what
| it means and means what it says.
1t is not tinged with deception as
is plainly evidenced in the Idaho
Republican platform. And if
Democracy meets with success
at the polls on November 4th
next, every plank will be carried
out as outlined. On the 1.-TWO
mile limit law there is no dodg-
ing nor deception about it. The
Republican party says in its
platform that that party favors
the two mile limit" law, but
they simply put in an evasive
plank on that issue simply for
| the purpose of catching votes.
/ Most of the candidates nomin-
ated on the Democrat ticket are
well known in this portion OF
Idaho. and Custer county Dem
ocracy is well pleased with the
ticket. and if we mistake not, will
will roll up a big Democratic maj,
81 erity on the 4th day of Novemb
fer next. The present admins
tration in state affairs has shown
+ itself by the records to be thc
, best administration the State has
ever had, consequently the vot
ers do not desire change.

TAX LEVY FOR 1902.

The tax levy Tor custer county
for the year 1902 was fixed by the
Board of Commissioners on the
Sth inst. at 50. 20 on each 800 of
assessable property, apportioned
to the different funds as follows ::
State Fund. .35
Wagon Road naw 1889) 90
{" /" (Law 1899 .03
Co. Current Expense Fund S1.0O
&" School Fund 80
Redemption Fund .25
:" Road Fund Is
1" Bond Interest Fund 40
g Sinking Fund .25
Special Bridge Fund .25
Total ..... =. S3.2O
But for the fact that the Board
of Commissioners in Custer coun-
ty practically exempted all the
patented mines in the county this
year from taxation-that is all
were valued at the same leash
value" $500 each-the tax levy
for Custer county this year would
have been cut to $2.75. So that
would made a difference of 45
cents on every 500 of taxable
property in the county. Why
shouldn't our taxpayers enter a
vigorous protest against such un-
just and unheard of equalization
of taxes on patented mining
property =? When you strike at
mans pocket-book you touch
his heart. No question is settled
until it is settled right, and our
people who pay the taxes of the
county don't propose to allow
such discrimination in favor of
rich mine owners go by unheed-
ed, for the matter will be taken
into the courts, as we heard a
number of heavy taxpayers say
that they would pay their taxes
this year under protest, on the
grounds of an unjust equaliza-
tion. If there ever was a class
of people entitled to redress, it is
the people of Custer county, fol-
they have been burdened with
a heavy tax rate for years, as the
following table viii show. They
have paid their taxes under th'
enormous levies for years past
without complaining, but now
this year, when the levy shoule
have been 1915 instead of So. 20
they have just cause for protest

1895 up to and 1902 inclusive
