Oppose Forest Reserve.

Citizens of the upper Salmon
river are justly and vigorously OPP
posing the formation of another
forest reserve to include portions
of Idaho and Washington counties.
Hon. j. o. Levander, who has
just been over the proposed terri
tory writes as follows.
81 have just returned from
Meadows, where have been look
ing after land matters. When
there was shown the lines of the
proposed new forest reserve. In
township "a, east where l reside
1t includes the west half, sections
4, 8, l6, 81, %, % and 33 all
void of timber, and contains prac-
tically all the grazing and farming
land there is in the whole township.
Should the reserve be established
on these lines it would be a dis
astrous blow to the Salmon river
country as it would effectually
block any farther progress as to
the settlement OF this township.
The people here are unit against
it and will send in a remonstrance.
Ny object in writing you this letter
is to ask you and all the rest Of
the good people of Grangeville te
assist us in getting the lines chang
ed to exclude the above sections.
There wouldbe no objections to som,
OF sections iii the west side OF tn,

A DEMOCRATIC MYTH.
How "Jeffersonian Simplicity Shows Up ir
 the Light of History.

| London Post.
 Was Jefferson really so simple? He be- | longed by birth to the Virgintan aristocraCy, | the most exclusive and most sumptuous class that has ever contrived to establish
 itself in the United States. When he came of age he ranked among the five richest men in the country. Ills marriage brought him an estate of 10000 acres and | 1855 slaves. He built Monticello. for fifty years the most distinguished seat of private hospitality in America, mansion where | powdered wigs bowed to brocaded silk and retnues of liveried servants kept up a state of lavish and dignified ornateness
 As minister to France he lived in the great est elegance. His entertainments were frequent and bountiful, and he far exceeded his official salary. While a member of Congress and Secretary of State at Phil adelphia he occupied a handsome house in the suburbs, kept five horses, imported the first French chef that had ever been seen in America, and immortalized himself by
 introducing finger bowls He was distinct
 ly an epicure. and reused the wrath of Pat
 rick Henry by ''adjuring his native victuals"
 The writers of the day dwell on the mag
 nficence of his dinner parties as something
 unheard of. His letters shown him fas-
 tidious to a degree about his daughters dress. department and accomplishments
 He wrote treatises for them on etiquette,
 and gave them lessons in the "art of po- lteness."
 He was President of the United States
 for eight years. and 1t Is on his behavior during the first twenty months or so of
 that period that the legend of his sim plicty' has grown up. He had made too
 much of the ceremonial side of the office
 and that certain danger to the Republican
 theory was to be feared from their imita- tions of "monarchical institutions" He therefore. deliberately, and with an entire depression of his natural self. went to the
 other extreme He made up his mind not
 to be a parsonage, but Citizen Jefferson
 and nothing else, He shambled about in old slippers. faded red waistcoat and "sofed
 corduroy small clothes" and he wore his hair unpowdered. His manners grew equally slovenly and gave great. and prob ably premedtated offense to the British and spanish ministers But 1t merely lasted for a couple of years. Having made his protest. Jefferson became the gentleman again. The French chef and the finger bowls reappeared. clean clothes and powder ed hair were once more to be seen in the White House, new liveries were ordered
 for the coachmen and footmen, and $l- 500 Coach drawn by four magnificent horses, marked the extent of a reaction
 that lasted and increased until the end of hls days. From first to last Jefferson
 must have spent during his eight years pres idency between 10000 and 15.000 pounds above and beyond his official salary.

IGNORANCE OR MALICE,

Sometimes we can fully sympathize with fat Jack Falstaff when he said:
 Lord, Lord, how this world Is given to lying! Especially Is this the case when we are reading Republican cam ator Platt, of Connecticut, in a speech in Hartford on the 18th of this month ured this language:
 The Democratic party was imbued with the most vicious radicalism. Gro- yer Cleveland, with all his faults, was conservative. In his unreasoning de- votion to the fallacy of free trade, he was worse than his party"
 The inconsistence of the man Is as remarkable as his disregard of facts How MT. Cleveland could be conserva- tive, yet worse than his party" which was 'imbued with the most vicious radicalism," must be left to those who are fond of unravelling riddles, for 1t Is beyond the ordinary human intellect, but we will let that pass. The main point Is the utter falsity of the charge that MT. Cleveland was ever guilty of ''unreasoning devotion to the fallacy of free trade"
 If MT. Platt were not a Senator of the United States, and supposedly a man of information, we should credit the foregoing remarks to the gross ig- norance of a pot-house politician, but being what he is we can properly charge him with deliberate and wilfull misrepresentation. Every man of even casual knowledge of our political his l tory knows that Cleveland was as far from being an advocate of free trade as any Republican in the Union, but he was certainly far from being a nigh tariff man. In his message to Congless in December, 1887, he used this lang uage:
 In readJustment of our tariff the interests of American labor engaged m manufacture should be carefully con sidered as well as the preservation of our manufacturers. It may be called protection or by any other name hui of our present tariff laws should be de- vised with especial precaution against lmperiling the existence of our manu- featuring interests
 Was there any suggestion of free | trade in that? Was he not especially plain and direct, as he usually is, in showing his solicitude for American labor, and his desire that due care should be taken of American interests? But that Is not all, for he showed his indifference to mere terms by say ing in the same message:
 Our progress toward a wise conclu- sion will not be improved by dwelling upon the theories of protection and free trade. This savers too much of bandying epithets. It Is a condition which confronts us. not a theory Re lief from this condition may involve a slight reduction of the advantages which we award our home productions, but the entire withdrawal of such ad- vantages should not be contemplated. The question of free trade Is absolutely irrevelant, and the persistent claim made in certain quarters that all the efforts made to relieve the people from unjust and unnecessary taxation are schemes of so-called free traders is mischevous and far removed from any consideration for the public good.

 The Advertiser calls us down for adding the word aware" to it's article on the coming section of Alabama. Well, we'll quote what you did say, and see if 1t sounds all right. We admit the little addition, but thought that your proofreader was like we were. liable to overlook something occasion ally. Here Is what you did say: We are without @ shadow of a doubt that all the region of Alabama which has been classed in general terms as the wire-grass country will soon be look ed on as the most desirable section of the State for the farmer and the fruit grower, and that it will become the home of the most prosperous and con- tented people of Alabama" Now the grammar we studied had two or three leaves gone, over in the back of the book. and we never did learn that part, and there might be some of the other that we know but little of. but that sentence does not sound just right as 1t is quoted above, and 1t may not sound right with the word aware" put in. but 1t looked to us like it needed something, and when we see a thing in need, where 1t don't cost anything to assist it, we go right into 1t with a charitable hand. We'll give you a chance to make the correction, for We believe you'll see it needs something when you read your files. If 1t does not, then let it go at that. You have been here the longest, and have the right of way, and If you say it's right because you wrote 1t that way, why we're "wid" you.

Potato Bugs Only Enemy.

It now appears. according to the statements of the wise men in our agri- cultural department, that there is no cannibalistic insect which Uncle Sam can produce or import that will devour potato bugs. There is a species of ant, indigenous to Guatemala, which will eat any bug in South America. Colonies of these ants were imported, and set to work defending Texas cotton plants from the attacks of the boil weevil. They have done fairly well in respect to the weevils, but have not given en- tire satisfaction. Next to the boil wee vii the potato bug is the greatest ene- my of the Southern farmer, The experts in Washington decided to put the Guat- emalan ant on the trail of the insect which plays havoc with the granger's potato patch. The ant came and saw, but didn't conquer the potato bug. For reasons best known to himself. he de- clined to give rein to his cannibalistic propensities. The agricultural depart ment theory is that any insect which a Guatemalan ant will not devour must be pretty tough eating" Agriculturists who have potato patches must get rid of the bugs by the old-fashioned meth O6s

NEEDN'T KICK ABOUT IT.

Referring to the report that Senator Lodge has asked to have speakers and campaign funds sent to Massachusetts, The New Bedford Standard declares that if the report is true Lodge ought to be ashamed of himself. The Standard thinks that 1t would be a reflection on its State to do anything that would imply a doubt of the certainty of Re publican success. It does look that way, for 1t has been a dozen years since the Democrats carried the State, and then they elected a Governor by a small majority. That this success was caused entirely by local issues. and by the personality of the candidates is shown by the fact that while the Demo- cratic plurality for Governor in 1892 was 2,534, the Republican plurality four years later for Governor was 154,- 542. The returns also show that the Democrats polled 53,0o0 more votes for Governor in 1892 than they did in 1896 for the same office.
 Another thing about the Massachu- setts vote Is the change in the Presi- dential results from 1896 to 1900. In the former year the Democrats were so demoralized and disheartened that only a little over 1o5. .O00 of them voted, while in 1900 they had so Gar become recon ctled to the prevailing conditions that they polled nearly l57,ooO votes Th' result was that the Republican plurali- tv for Mckinley of 173,265 in 1896 fell to 71,s69 in 1900. And the figures show that the Democratic vote was about fifty thousand greater in 1900 than in 1896 while the Republican vote was 10000 less. These figures do not indicate that the Democrats will carry the State this year. but they show that The Standard needn't feel insulted be- cause the leaders of its party propose to do some work at home
