how body Of men can be SO false
to their trust as to rob the people
whose interests they were elected
TO protect, by loading them down
with taxes that can benefit no one
but the manufacturer. There
would be just as much sense in
spreading an epidemic of smallpox
because it would make business for
the physician or licensing incen-
diarism because it would create
good times for carpenters.

The Children'S Friend.

There is no use trying to
persuade American mothers that
substitute exists for Perry Davis
Psinkiller. They know how it
relieves the troubles of childhood,
from sprained arms and legs to
stomachache. Other preparations
may do good, Painkiller is certain
to. A big difference, and one that
has been recognized for sixty
years. There is but one Painkill-
err, Perry Davis.

OLD MANS CLUB.

The United States senate is a
veritable old mans club, the old
est members being Pettus and
Morgan, the representatives of
Alabama in that body. Both live
in Selma, both are lawyers and
both were confederate brigadier
generals in the civil war, Pettus
is a clipper young statesman of 80
and Morgan is 70. Many of the
senator's are more than 70 years
of age. Both of Connecticut's
representatives have passed that
limit, Hawley being II and Platt
76 years old. The same is true
of Nevada. Stewart is 76 and
Jones % years of age. President
Frye is 70; Hoar, the sage of the
senate, is II, and Allison, who
directs financial and much other
legislation, is IA. Teller, who
has just been reelected from
Colorado is 70. Quay of Penn
sylvania aud Platt of New York
are of the same age, 20 years.
Vest, Missouri, is 70; Cullom,
Illinois, IA Bate Tennessee, II;
Proctor Vermont, 70; and Gibson,
Montana, 70. The redeemine
feature Of these aged statesmen il
that a majority Of them is honest
capable men, who were elected
before senators became to bt
recognized as the representatives
of wealth, corporations and specia
interests, and have a hold upor
their constituents sufficient,
strong to retain their places. Mer
like Morgan, Pettus, Hoar, Teller
Vest, = Allison, Cullom, Hawle,
and Frye are no longer elected tt
the senate because, regardless o
party, their fidelity to their con
stituents and personal integrit,
have never been questioned.

Favorable Comparison.

The newspapers of Latah county
are having a controversy over the
cost of maintaining the auditors
Office in that county. In giving
the running expenses and receipts
of several counties the Moscow
Star quotes figures in which Idaho
county compares most favorably
with her neighbors, not only in
main tenance but in the large
amount of business done. The
Star says.
"The total receipts of the office
of clerk of the district court and
ex officio auditor and recorder of
Latah county for the year 1902
were S6,146.O5. Allowances for
deputy and clerk hire Of seven
persons for 1908, as made by the
board of county commissioners,
$4,000. Kootenai county has
about the same population as La
tab. Total receipts of the same
Office in that county last year
$6,031.55. Aggregate salaries OF
two deputies at 81 900 each, and
two copyists at 5000 each per year,
$4,000. Idaho county has "A
smaller population but does more
than twice the business in this of
fee of either Latah or kootenai.
Total receipts in Idaho county for
1902, SIG II. Expenses for
deputy and clerk hire So, $40. 80.
While the receipts of the auditors
Office in that county were over
twice the receipts of the same Of
flee in Latah county, the expenses
were but slightly greater.

REPUBLICAN, EYE-SORE

- REPUBLICAN EYE-SORE.
That eight hour bill is very much
OF an eye-sore to the republican
majority. They will have hard
time explaining to the labor ele-
ment, many of whom were led BY
the loud protestations of the re-
publican leaders that they were
friendly to laboring interest to
vote the republican ticket, why the
bill of SO much Importance to them
was beaten. Every democrat
worked for and voted for the bill,
and exhausted every means to
press the republican majority up
to the point of passing it,
but without success. Senator Bal
lentine, a democrat, had a similar
bill in the senate, and will press it
as hard as he can. If the bill is
finally passed it will be by the
eternal vigilance and perseverance,
of the democrats in both houses.
But the insults heaped on the
unoffending head Of labor by such
! men as Owen, republican, who said
that the more time the laboring
men worked the less time they
would have to booze in saloons,
will not be forgotten by the labor
organizations of the state when
they make up their ballots two
years from now. But then all
this is the reward they get for
voting the republican ticket.
These sort of things are very ex-
pensive, a sort of luxury that by
labor leaders will learn to dig
pense with.

PLEA FOR STATEHOOD.
SONS Why Territory Should Be
Made State of the Union.

. Washington, Nov. 28-The annual
report of Gov.4Otero, OF New Mexico,
makes plea for the admissionsof the
territory to statehood. The report says
that during the past year the building
of railroads continued with unabated
vigor, and capital made extensive in
vestments. The finances Of the terri
tory are in excellent condition, and so
are those of the counties and cities
with a few exceptions caused by loose
methods many years ago, and the re-
suits of which methods the coun.
ties affected are making every
effort to overcome. The terri.
tory, as we'll as most Of the coun.
ties, is reducing its Indebtedness, while
several counties are refunding their
Indebtedness at q. low rate OF interest.
, The assessed valuation of New Mexico
shows an increase OF about $1,G00, COG
over THAT of the preceding year. but as
the average assessment rate is only
about 20 per cent. OF the real value, the
actual increase Of taxable valuation,
owing to the elimination OF double as
sessments in former years, is almost
s., 000, 900.
