This, VIC think, is a good showing for
the poor farm. The County Board has
spared nothing in tho way Of making the
farm sclf-sustaning, and we think it is
now on a fair road TO achieve this end
In reality it has more than accomplished
this purpose during this year and left on
hand net proceeds to the amount Of S73I,
but this will hardly be enough to carry
the farm through 1908. 1t might also bc
added that the farm has been greatly i'm
proved by proper cultivation and rcrtili-
zntion, SubSoiling, etc.

Pioneers Day.

A day at the Spokane Interstate
Fair grounds " hen the pioneers of
the northwest will hold sway is
proposed. With it is suggested
la collection OF relics of the days
when Spokane was young, and Of
still earlier days. even before this
city was dreamed of-days when
the Indianswere roaming the plains
of eastern Washington, rulers of
the land.
Relics of this period are being
cherished by old pioneers of the
now prosperous Inland Empire
and many of these treasures may
be gathered in one large exhibit for
the benefit of the wondering popu-
lace who have made the north west
their home under different circum-
stances than the pioneer of the
early days.
Collections Of arrowheads, Indian
trophies, historical relics of Indian
wars and crude furniture hewu
from the forest-such things are
planned to be gathered by Mrs C.
G. Brown, M inager of the depart.
ment Of fine arts, and her assistants.
Mrs. Brown is DESTROYS of COM
municating with persons having
relics of this description, for such
an exhibit
The Spokane Interstate Fair will
be held the first week in October,

Fires Retard Progress at Buckhorn.

M. d. Winder, general manager
of the Hoosier Boy Gold Mining
Co., came in from the Buckhorn
camp Wednesday. He reports a for
est fire raging on the mountain
east of Parker's ranch. 1t crossed
the wagon road about three miles
up from the foot of the grade and
burned out nearly 1000 feet of
cribbing on the lower side of the
road, and one bridge. He discov-
cred the fire on his way down Mon
Gay and returned to camp and
called the men to fight fire. They
succeeded in checking it on the
lower side of the road. 1t is still
climbing the untain, however,
and the danger is that a shifting
wind may turn il towards the road
again.
The danger from forest fires may
delay work on the construction of
the stamp mill for the Buckhorn.
Ed ellison has his big freight out
fit here, ready to haul the mill
in, but Mr.. Winder fears to run
the risk of having the road obstruct-
ed by fire and the exit for the
stock possibly cut off. AS it is,
the road will need some repairs be-
fore freight teams can pass over it,.

All nominations were made by
reclamation.
The great fight of the convention
was over the Mormon question
The plank was finally adopted as
follows:
"We demand the determination
of polygsmy and unlawful cohabi-
tation within the state of Idaho,
and the complete separation of
church and state in political affairs.
We pledge the democratic party to
enact such legislation as will effec-
tually suppress such evils"
Senator Dubois was in absolute
control of the convention. Ex- Sow
Steunenberg, who was thought tc
be factor in democratic politics
was beaten for committeeman al
large. None of the old leaders oil
any prominence who opposed Du-
bois program secured any rtcogni-
ton from the convention.
The delegation from Kootena
stood by Dubois.
The vote on the Mormon planl
was 107 against to III for.
G. Fl. Jackson of Ada was elected

NOT A REVIVAL YEAR.

An Eastern paper complains that the
general revival Of religious fervor In
the Evangelical churches which Rev.
DR.. Brushingham of Chicago is trying
to inspire shows no signs of realization.
''The times are" It believes, ripe for
general American revival" but the
people ARE strangely Indifferent to the
appeals Of the pulpit and even to those
OF their consciences."
A study OF the great revival move
ments in the United States, however,
leads TO the conclusion that they are
the products of hard times. When a
financial panic comes and business
houses totter and fall, when incomes
are reduced and the outlook ahead Is
dark, then, as in 1897, 1857 and 1873. the
people turn for help to a higher power
and the revivalist finds his work cut
out for him. AS soon as prosperity
off. Three and more years ago, in dis
cussing a general effort all over the
United States to bring about revival.
this paper said that the attempt was
sure to fail because O.. Mckinley times.
And fail it did The people were max
ing money too fast on earth to con-
Germ themselves about laying up treas
ures in Heaven. At the present time
the conditions are SO nearly the same
as to fully account for the non-success
of DR.. Brushingham's efforts. He is
bound to lose; in fact defeat is in the
nature of things.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

The late James Kekela was a man
whom his white brethren delighted to
hcnor-one who chose a noble and self
sacrificing part in life who did not give
II up when hardships came and dea tn
threatened aDd who died az he had
lived, sincere Christian gentleman.
The story of Kekela's like reads IN
some chapters like lurid romance, be-
car Sc II was made up of adventures
among pirates and cannibals; and in
other chapters like the testimony OF the
saints, for Kekela gave many years to
helping the degraded heather at rick of
all the natural man holds dear. There
is chapter, too. which connects this
old missionary with Abraham Lincoln,
from whom Kekela received gifts and
thanks.
Hawaiians have many great men of
whom they boast, but the career of no
nan among them has demonstrated
higher racial qualities or done more to
encourage those who expect much OF
the native people than that of James
Kekela.

PROPOSED ELECTION or DEPUTY
SHERIFFs.

The Act proposed by Senator Achi,
providing for the election OF deputy
sheriffs is totally inadmissible. 1t is
automatic in American policy that.
ordinarily the head of any subordinate
executive office should have the APP
pointment OF his deputies who are held
responsible to their chief. Without
this requirement, no man could safely
hold an office of that kind. The rule
Is peculiarly applicable to sheriffs. who
are necessarily invested with functions
affecting property, as well as individual
safety, and, in many cases, have to
act with great promptness and decifion
and take the risk of personal lab lily.
No sheriff could execute the duties of
his Office unless invested with the
power of selection and control. In
municipalities and counties throughout
the United States this proposition, 1t
may be probably said with truth, is
almost unanimously recognized.
The rule applies with more than or
binary force to the Territory of Hawaii
The High Sheriff acts for all the is
lands. and, though within control Of
the executive department of the Ter
ritorial government, and especially of
the Attorney General, is charged with
and held accountable for the perform
ance of multifarious duties, usually
discovered from that office in mainland
communities. The necessity for the
concentration of power in this officer,
commensurate with his obligations and
subject to the inspection ard cooper
alton of higher departments of the
government, should be obvious to every
citizen, and, il he cannot participate
in the selection of all his subordinates,
no faithful and conscientious man dare
assume the risks which the position en-
tails. The management of the police
alone must necessarily be under one
head or 1t could not be efficient. The
recent changes in the office of High
Sheriff prove that the Territorial exec
utive pc sesses full power to revolu-
tionize the management of this most
important department, and that, in
this respect. no additional legislation
Is necessary.
The most advanced reform move
ments throughout the United States
have succeeded upon the principle of
concentrating authority and RESPONSE
bility in the heads of executive de-
partments, and of placing them under
an authority, superior in any exigency
to their own. In this manner alone,
can our system of government be sue
cessfully maintained, and the rights
and interests of citizens be adequately
protected.

THE LEWTY OF THE LAW.

"Old Father Antic, the Law" must,
in the nature of things, have his
humorous moments. Usually, how
ever, he gets somebody at the bar
rather than on the bench, to express
them for him. The wit and humor of
the bar is proverbial, but the bench
has a reputation for solemn dignity
which even keeps the cartoonists at
bay There are times, however, when
even Jove laughs and when the man
in ermine unbends and adds to the
harmless gayety of the populace-as
witness these extracts, printed in the
American Law School Reporter from
decisions of State Supreme Courts:
There is nothing certain about
law suit except the expense of it"
I'm the Happy Hunting Ground there
are no corporations, as they have no
souls, and consequently no hereafter
1T is needless to make the speech
long because the case is weak" Those
who shoot at their friends for amuse-
ment ought to warn them first that
It is mere sport" THE first exercise
of mechanical ingenuity was the
manufacture of fig-leaf aprons" "A
policeman is only citizen dressed in
blue clothes and brass buttons" "On
appeal 1t is not sufficient that God
knows a thing. but the record must
show it." "a man does not marry a
woman for the mere pleasure of pay
ing for her board and washing" "A
policeman is an excellent judge of
whisky, and when he has tasted liquor
he Is able to say whether 1t is whisky
or not" "It is libelous for a telegraph
company to transmit the following
message; slippery Sam, Your name is
pants (Signed) Many Republicans
"a husband is not guilty of desertion
when his wife rents his room to a
boarder and crowds him out of the
house" "A man Is not a habitual
drunkard merely because occasionally
he gets to feeling good" "The quality
OF the advice of counsel may be such
as to warrant the presumption that 1t

frequently ended without having de-
termined anything except, possibly,
the costs" "A locomotive and a mule

so that they pass at different moments
of time" woman has always been q
favorite with equity, and 1t always
throws it's willing arms around her.
''He who attacks with double-barr

PORTUGUESE INDEptNoeN ce DAY

Today will be a day of rejoicing for
many of the citizens of Honolulu for
1t Is the four hundred and sixty
fourth anniversary of the achievement
of Portuguese independence fro1l,Spain,
an event which had a profound infiu
ence on the destiny of the peoples of
the Iberian Peninsula. The history of
the little kingdom on the shores of the
Atlantic, surrounded by a hostile
domain which seems always ready to
push her smaller neighbor off into the
waters of the great ocean. IS a stir
ing one, full of legends Of martial valor
and all the romance and poetry of
medieval days. The nation had its
birth amid the turmoil of the holy wars
and being consolidated with other prov
incC7 wrenched from the unhappy
of the daughter of the King of Spain,
and being consolidated with other pro-
vinces wrenched from the unhappy
Moors in the long struggle that led up
to the fall OF Granada.
Graded amid the bloody strife be-
tween Cross and Crescent, which lasted
for two centuries before the whole of
what is now Portugal was taken from
the Saracens, the infant nation was
soon plunged into the throes of civil
strife which wrested the crown from
the House of Burgundy and gave 1t
to the House of Aviz and made the
power of the crown absolute. Now be-
gan the golden age of Portuguese his
| tory. Her explorers carried the Por-
tuguese flag to the remotest corners of
| ha eyln har !,
| the gold, gems and spices of the Indies,
! Africa and the Americas plowed every
sea. But the drain of her immense
commerce was too much for the lit
| tie kingdom. Her men were taken to
| the far-off colonies and when King
Sebastian persisted with his army in a
| battle with the Moors Of Northern
Africa in 1878 the .couatrN fell an easy
prey to Philip II of Spaip.
For ,many,years Portugal remained 6
province of Spain until goaded by
Spanish tyranny, the people of the lit
tie country rose in revolt and aided by
England forced Spain to acknowledge
their independence in 1910. The crown
went to the House of Braganza OF
which Carlos " the relgning monarch
is a member. Although there have beer
some disturbances since independence
was achieved, today Portugal is in q
state of prosperity and peace. But the
Gay of her independence marked the
SCATTERING of all hopes of Spanish
greatness and today the little nation
is in some respects more powerful thar
her larger neghbor whose past glory
stands in contrast with her present
weakness and shame.

PERMANENT SETTLEMENT.

There was a pregnant sentence in
President Roosevelt's letter to the IT.
rigation Congress recently held at Ell
Paso, over which Governor Pardee of
California presided THE best use of
the public land is that made by the
man who has come to stay"
This language, which is fully elabor-
ated in the letter, shows the kind of
land policy that the administration
sustains, in conformity with the terms
and with the spirit of the National
Homestead Law. 1t Is exactly coin
cident with the policy that, for years,
the Advertiser has consistently urged
upon the land department of the Ter
ritorial government. There now ap-
pears to be some prospect that the
small farmer" who is a permanent
settler and voter, is to have some
chance on these islands, and that be-
fore the next general election, genuine
American citizenship may be consid-
erably increased. Heretofore, the lead
ing tendency in the management of
the public lands, has been to prevent
or at least retard immigration of the
right sort and to play into the hands
of men, whose sole interest is monop-
oily and the exclusion of American
population. The enormous majority in
favor of the Republican national and
local tickets presages a closer harmony
between local and Federal administra-
ton.
