The Department of Justice has
been keeping itself very busy
these days. OF course it is the
grand jury that directly hands
down the indictments in the
Agricultural Department case,
but then the Department of
Justice is primarily responsible.
1t sounds very nice. Three of
the people supposed to be con-
cerned in the cotton leak scan
dial are to be tried. Moses Haas
and Frederick Peckham of New
York, and Edwin Holmes, Jr.,
late associate statistician of the
Agricultural Department have
all been brought up and releas-
ed on bail. Incidentally the
grand jury, somewhat to the
surprise OF the public got a local
tnancier of national notorfety,
Thomas Waggaman, and indict-
ed him at the same time not for
completely in the cotton leak but
on the charge of misappropriat-
ing funds under a will wherein
he was-trustee. This was only
one criminal case made out
against him, but hundreds of
small investors who lost their
all in his financial smash are re.
joicing nightly. However,
these, are merely indictments.
Perhaps some of the indicted
may go to Jail. Just as likely
they will not. But it is a sad
commentary on the moral degen-
ercay of the American Office
holder and business man that
such q wholesale movement has
to be made by the authorities at
all. 1t has gotten to the point

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

It's a fact that the farmer who
patronizes the mail order house
is working against his own in
terests. The following para
graphs, from the American Far
mer, show this very clearly, and
you should read them each time
before sending your money out
of the country. We print these
articles because we believe in
the correctness of the arguments
presented and not because we
are paid for them with the liber
al patronage of the business men
of Challis, for frequently we
have noticed on some of their
desks, printed stationery that
has been shipped to them from
some soap or other firm, so the
following applies to them as well
as the farmer
No mail order house helped to
build the little white schoolhouse
in your district or turnpike the
road past your dDor. no mail
order house ever took you by the
hand when you were in distress
and told you to let that little ac-
count go until after harvest next
year. No mail order house ever
sold you an article and then
spent every cent of it's profit in
the community where you and
your neighbors could get it all
back again. No mail order house
ever reioiced with you when you
were glad, no spoke encourag-
ing words to you in affliction, nor
stood with uncovered heads be-
side the grave when your loved
ones died.
No The mail order house is
after your money. Every dol
lar it gets its hands on will be
jerked out of your neighborhood
forever. The mail order house
may bear upon its face the semb-
lance of friendship, but no hum
an heart beats under it's cloak of |
hypocrisy. Sentiment to it is
unknown. The whole institution
is as cold and bloodless as a |
corpse.
All mail order houses in Chris
tendon would not increase the
value of your farm one cent.
They are parasites to whom
life is only possible so long as
they can suck blood out of com
to the upbuilding of |
which they contribute nothing. |
They create no local market for
the products you have to sell.
They have no property which
can be assessed to help bear your
burden of taxation. Your local
dealers business is legitimate
because its success contributes
to the general prosperity of the
community that built it up.
Your local dealer stands ready !

Secretary Shaw received sugges
tions until he was almost sick. All
that stood out before his official gaze
was that the presents had been re-
ported as worth probably S100,0 900
and if the usual rate of duty was i'm
posed. il would cost Miss Roosevelt
or her father upward of 90 per cent,
or 100000. Neither Miss Roosevelt
nor her father is rich. although the
young woman is understood TO have
modest fortune in her own right.
Finally Secretary Shaw took his
burden TO the president and told him
about it,
There is only one thing TO do
replied the president. THAT is 10
treat my daughters baggage as you
would the baggage of any other pri.
waite person. She will pay duty on
everything that is dutiable.
Secretary Shaw feels better about
it. Members of the Taft party to the

Miss Rooseyelt's presents has been

it will be determined by the local APP

The daughter of the president has

value would be something like $780,
600. She received valuable silks in

wondering what they ought to do
when Miss Roosevelt arrived in an
American port with the riches of the
mines and looms of the Orient. Some
of them suggested that, as she is the
daughter of the president. she ought
to be allowed TO bring the vaiuables
