WHILE the volatile Senator Timan was uttering
his pathetic plea for the white race in the Senate
last week, his brethren in the Sunny South were
amusing themselves in their vivaoious and pristine
manner. During the time the senator was making
his appeal, the citizens of Griffin Georgia. took
William Frambo to the outskirts of the city and
shot him to death, afterwards setting fire to his
house and burning it to the ground. Synchronical
with the Griffin affair was the lyncbing of Frank
Brown at McDade, Louisiana. It is not necessary
to say that both Frambo and Brown were negroes

IN A lecture on Hebrew literature, delivered in
Minneapolis few evenings ago, Rabbi Emil Hirsch
discussed the Bible from purely literary point of
view. He is quoted as having said, among other
things, that the books of Ruth and JONAH which he
characterized the novels of the Bible are finer
than anything in modern fiction, while the Psalms
of David, he said, are superior to the poetry of
Dante, Shakespeare or Goethe Rabbi Hirsch might
further have said that these books are not only
supremely beautiful from purely literary point of
view, but also that the two first mentioned are very
interesting stories.
At first thought it seems strange that at this
late date it should be necessary for anybody to point
out the beauties of the Bible to an educated audience
but it is comprehensive after moments reflection
There several reasons why the Bible is not more
widely read literature. It is largely the fault of
the publishers. The average Bible of the present
day is printed with very small type on fimsy semi
transparent paper. Unless uses magnifying
glass; or is blessed with exceptionally strong eyes, it
is impossible to read it with any enjoyment. The
ink used is often of inferior quality and as result
the page appears to be grey blur. To read such a
book for more than five ten minutes is to do pen
ance Or on the other hand, if the print is good and
the paper of fair quality the book itself is SO bulky
that holding it in the hand is test of physical en-
durance.
: Then too, the manner in which the Bible is
Photographed, or divided into verses, is confusing
to the modern reader. We have been taught to
expect that each paragraph will contain COM
plete idea, or at least complete SENTENCE but in
the Bible single sentence is often divided into
several verses each of which, of course commences
with capital letter. making difficult for the reader
to grasp the sense of the matter. And again, the
frequent italicized words and the marginal notes
also very distracting unless is accustomed to
them. In short one must pay SO much attention to
the text that reading becomes studying.
It seems almost sacrilegious to suggest altera-
tions in the makeup of the Bible but that is only
because accustomed to seeing it in its present
form. One thing, however, is certain-if the style
of makeup" were altered to meet the demand of
modern readers, and Bible issued in several vol
umes of convenient size, printed good paper with
large type, without itac1zing every word not in the
original Hebrew, and without the verses being
separated and numbered-if this we're done many
more people would regularly read and appreciate the
book It would then scarcely be necessary for Rabbi
Hrsoh to tell cultured audience that the stories Of

The wisdom of the trainers of the Constitution
Of the United States in making Federal judgeships
appointive positions with life tenure for the in
cumbents has sometimes been questioned by think
ing people, and the arguments both sides are
interesting By happy coincidence two opposite
views of the matter presented in March magazines;
one in an article on"Law and Human Progress by
Chief Justice Waiter Clark of the Supreme Court Of
North Carolina, in the Arena, and the other in an
article the Supreme Court of the United States
by Associate Justice David Brewer, in .Sc,z6neys.
The former says in part:
probably the most serious defect of the Federal
Constitution is the retention unaltered of the mode
for the selection of Federal judges at third hand
through the instrumentality of the Executive and
the Senate and for life. In truth provision could
be more undemocratic than the manner of selecting
these important officials and their life tenure They
are chosen in manner that entirely negatives any
expression of public opinion, and that permits their
selection by powerful influences that usually have
ready access to the appointing power. This is an
anomaly in country whose government is based
upon the principle that it exists only by consent of
the governed. It is due mainly to the high
personal character of the gentlemen who have occu.
pied the Federal Bench that this anachronsm has not
met with stronger and more universal demand for
it's removal. If the people can be trusted with
the selection of one set of judges they certainly
be with the other"
On the other hand, Justice Brewer says:
cit is of the utmost importance that such
tribunal should be Independent, free from partisan
bias political influence It's members should, if
not by constitutional amendment at least by the
common action of all, be debarred from political
office, SO that no temptation of Office or popular ap
plause shall ever sever from the simple path of
justice and the Constitution. In these days of
newspaper reputation and ofttmes swiftly changing
popularity it is we'll to have tribunal of stabil
ity, whose judgments do not vary with the vary
Ing OF the passing hours 5 and 40 not as Mr.
The life tenure of it's members does not make it an
undemocratic factor in the life of the Republic It
does not govern the nation. The people are always
the rulers. More than once they have reversed it's
Judgments but by reason of it's stability and in
dependence it has stood check upon all hasty
action; brake upon the swiftly moving wheels of
popular passion, and holding ever the Republic
close to the ways prescribed by the fathers in the
Constitution

THERE is no finer body of men in the world
than the American locomotive engineers Fearless,
honest self contained and sefrelant they represent
the American ideal of manhood OF late their lot
has been hard: scarcely day passes without rail-
road wreck and with few exceptions each wreck has
brought death to the at thehrottle But if there
has been any grumbling in the ranks any quitting
because of the DANGER it has not found its way into
the papers. Engineer John Bibb, who was killed
Saturday in the wreck on the Southern road near
Knoxville, Tennessee, was a representative of his
order As he lay dying, physician approached
with flask in his hand and ordered him to drink
some whisky. Bibb pushed the flask aside, said he
didn't drink, explained that he was beyond medical
aid, and told the doctor to go look after the
women and children. He met death as part of his
days work without whimpering.
The critic, like the poor is ubiquitous. Often
he thinks he is critcizing when he is merely saying
disagreeable things; he imagines he is expos
ing error and uttering timely warnings when
in reality he is only petuantly finding fault. In
the press, on the lecture platform, and some
times even in the pulpit he airs his views.
From him we hear of the dangerous tendencies" of
the age; from him we learn of the degeneracy of the
race. Our forefathers would have scorned to do
thus and so says one; Latin immigration has lowered
the standard of American manhood, says another;
luxurious living has made us nation of moral and
physical towards, says third while fourth proph-
estes terrible evils to come The voice of the knock
or is loud and its strident tones and vehemently
reiterated assertions persuade people, who ought to
know BETTER that there must be something of truth
in it ALL that the country is fastening to the eternal
bow-wows Then some John Bibb, man of the
people, dies and by the of his death refutes
in moment the croaking of generation of pessi-
msts Then there is general awakening to the fact
that only the abnormal is conspicuous, and that our
self-appointed critics have been dealing with alb
normalities

rates are still higher, the regular

What a splendid thing it would

One of the most important parts
or branches of very nearly every
large business enterprise nowadays
seems to be the advertising depart
ment.
However much merit their goods
may possess, all large commercial
enterprises seem to consider the
most attractive advertising as being
an absolute necessity. Every con-
Germ appears to strive to Guido all
others in the attractiveness of its
advertising in magazines, news
papers or other forms of singing
the praises of its goods. So great
has become the desire to excel in
this matter that there are now a
number of schools whose only in-
struction is the art of attractive
methods in advertising. Numer-
GUS magazines have advertisements
in them telling the reader if he
wishes to know how to advertise at
small cost but most attractively, if
he wishes to become an ad-writer
or manager at good salary, if he
wishes to gain knowledge that will
positively increase his ability to
earn, if he wishes to learn a dig
nifed and quickly profitable pro-
fession, all he has to do in order to
get on the right track is to write
to department M. z. O. R. 42O69,

The big fair has been a success in
every feature, and the management is
to be congratulated on the result. The
association has known for some weeks

ambition to give the people of the
within our gates the best exhibit and
best entertainment ever put on by the
weather has been propitious and the
people have thronged to the fair
grounds and they have been pleased
with every feature.
The exhibit made in the several de-
partments has been exceptionally good.
In the horticultural line, no exhibit
ever made in the northwest can excel
what is shown in horticultural hall this
week. In the fine arts. and in mer-
camille and industrial exhibits the
showing can hardly be excelled in any
equal area of the United States.
The racing programs have been an
attractive feature and the patrons have
been furnished splendid sport free from
the usual pickering and jobbing Incl
dent where the management is not so
good. The fair has been entirely free
from the grating side attractions de-
signed and allowed inside the grounds
for avowed purpose of separating
man from his money. Such outside at
fractions as have received the sanction
of the management are clean whole
some shows where the visitor gets the
worth of his money and goes away sat
isfied.
The net result is that the fair visit
ors are pleased with their entertain
ment and will come again. Strangers
in the country have been wonderfully |
impressed with the resources shown. |
The fair has been big advertisement |
to show the resources and development |
of the territory tributary to Lewiston.
The fair has been a financial success
and the association will close the sea-

GRAPE GROWING INDUSTRY

Grape growing in Lewiston valley is
one of the industries that is sure to
attract much attention in the near flu
ture. What has been done has only
been IN theway of experimentation but
proof enough has been made to estab-
lish the fact that grapes can be grown
here to equal any grown in the famous
California vineyards either in guam
tity, quality, coloring or flavor. Wine
made from grapes grown here has been
pronounced by experts as the nearest
approach to the famous Rhine wines
of any produced the world, Lew
iston wines excel the wines of Cali
fornia in flavor and several experts
have decided they equal the product
exported from France and Germany.
The soil and climate here unite to
make grape growing one of the most
profitable of our industries. Not only
can the best of the wine grapes be
grown here but grapes for the market
as well and of the choicest variety.
