with our country. They arrived in

kinsman, Ernest Huckaby, which was
somewhat discouraging to them and

homeward. MI Huckaby came here
from Obion Station, about five months
ago, and bv his good moral habits and
close attention to business, had won
many friends, who predicted for him
bright future. He was sick ABOUT
ten DAYS with malarial hermaturia.
The remains were shipped to his
mother Call, near Columbia, Tenn.
Much sympathy is felt here for his

advice of physicians there, they re-
turned home heart-broken at the

from her. 1t seems sad fate that

HAIR INTERPRETED
With Progress OF Government and
Young Woman Lost Job.

Young Woman Lost Job.
A Young woman employed IN tile
Government Printing Office has been
removed from her job because OF her
way of dressing her hair. 1t appears
that she was employed once before
and it was found that her theories OF
hair dressing were Incompatible with
the requirements Of the Government
service. She was removed, but later
was reinstated under an erroneous I'M
preston that her views on the couture
issue had undergone modification.
The foreman of the pressroom, where
she has been working, called her up
the other day and told her that she
must part either with her style of hair
dressing or with her job. 1T seriously
interferes with your work, " he said.
land prevents your doing your duty
to the Government satisfactorily.
The young woman appealed the case
to Oscar J. Ricketts,, private secretary
to the Public Printer. who is temper
arily in charge of the department in
the Public Printers absence
1.-THE complaint against you, said
Mr.. Ricketts,, is that your hair inter-
feres with the feeding of the presses
and causes the spelling OF many sheets
of paper. H.
He declined to interfere, and the
young woman became jobless and is
still that way. There is no other
complaint against her, and should she
submit to an operation on her tresses
she will be promptly reinstated. Hith-
artO she has declined
Asphinx like silence about the ex-
act style of hair dressing and the way
in which it interfered with her work
is preserved by the officials of the de-
partment. In consequence of this re-
serve two stories are current. One
is that her hair was blown about by
the wind and got on the paper, and the
other is that her style of hair dressing
was 80 unique and attractive that her
fellow employees were unable to keep
their eyes off her, and that hence their
work, not hers, deteriorated. Meth
or of these stories can be confirmed. -

CAMPAIGN BOOK
SENT OUT
Democrats Instructed on the Great
Issues.
The Trusts And The Tariff Receive
Prominent henton.-Car-
mack Quoted.

Washington, Sept. 2-The Demo
cratic campaign text book was issued
today from the headquarters OF the
Democratic Congressional Committee
of this city and is being distributed
for the information of the speakers in
the campaign now in progress ana for
the political enlightenment of the
voters of the country. The main por
ton of the book is devoted to the
trusts and tariff. while considerable
space is also given TO the subject of
imperialism. Senator Carmack is
freely quoted ON the latter subject and
space is given to the speech of Repre-
sentative Patterson, of Tennessee. on
trusts. The book covers the field fully.
going into details in all matters that
are of public and political interest.
The platform of the Republicans in
1900 is taken up first of all ana it is
pointed out that promise has not
always resulted in performance The
declaration against trusts and mono po-
lies contained in the platform lis shown
to have resulted in no successful efforts
to curb these public menaces.
NO EFFORT AT RELIEF.
1t is asserted that the party in power
has made no effort to secure relief for
the people, and that the beef trust
alone has wrung from the American
people in the increased price charged
by the trust over the price charged in
1896 approximating the enormous sum
of $780, 600, 900 during the year 1902.
estimated upon the basis of prevailing
prices. The promise for Cuban re-
ciprocity is shown to have proved
nota BILE failure and the omission of this
subject in the Republican campaign
book. which was issued several weeks
ago, is noted 1t is stated that the
passage of the Chinese exclusion act,
which was loudly claimed for the bene-
fit of the working men of the country,
has only thrown open the door to
further influx of Chinese and their
cheap labor. 1t is asserted that the
Republicans did not pass the ship
subsidy bill at the last session of Con-
gress because the country was on the
eve of Congressional election and it
was feared that it might react against
the party in power.

ELOQUENT
ADDRESS
Speech of Hon. Avery G.
Moore, Delivered at
Weiser Oct. 9.

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: 1t is with pleasure that 1 APP
pear before you tonight to talk for a
little while about politics-defined by
your dictionary as "the science of gov
eminent The people of Washington
county and the people of my own
county of Idaho are not very far apart
either politically or geographically
Neighbors are wont to hold friendly
converse with each other and there is
no better theme for friendly discus
sion just now than the science of gov
eminent, or politics as we call it for
short"
Thomas Jefferson made a profound
study of government and he looked
upon 1t as an art rather than a sci
ence. and - he gave to his country
men his definition of the art of gov
eminent Did we as a people but ac-
cept it we would be confronted by
fewer social and political problems.
Jefferson said: 1.-THE art of govern
anent consists In being honest" (Ar-
ssplause.>
The corrupt administration of the
affairs OF government, municipal, state
or national is always fatal to the DO
tlitical party to whom 1T can be charg-
Led. But while the American people
pidity with which they rebuke politi-
cal corruption, it is unfortunately true
that they seldom are as careful to en-
,dorse honesty in political affairs.
The democratic party of Idaho has
been In power for six years. The peo-
pie removed the republicans from con-
troll as a rebuke to the corruption OF
McConnellism. We are before you
now asking you to endorse six years
of honesty in state government as
vigorously as you condemned dishon-
esty six years ago. (Applause.) If
Jefferson was right the democracy of
Idaho is accomplished in the art Of
government. There is no act of our
part of which we are ashamed; there
are many things in our record of which
we have reason to be proud. You have
already listened to the reading of our
balance sheet and it cannot but en-
phasize the claim that our party has
been economical in the conduct Of
the states business-economica and
honest. (Applause)
