a large package Of experience. They
were caught by the antiquated gold
mine swindle, and it is reported that
the promoters profits in one small
community amount to about $4,000.
The man with the mine for sale was
really a genius, with a thorough un-
Outstanding of human nature When
he appeared in this section ne singled
out the pastor of a prosperous rural
congregation. He laid his scheme be-
fore the minister in glowing terms,
pointing out it's advantages and it's
glorious prospects, and so glibly did ne
talk Of assayer's reports and quick
dividends that he soon overcame the
scruples and timidity of the confiding
churchman, and had the good dominic
laboring diligently with his flock.
At first the parishioners were dis
trustful but the preachers eloquence
finally won them over and they then
grew more enthusiastic than their
pastor. It became the fad to buy min
ing stock and the man without
block of it lost caste in the congrega-
ton. Everyone felt happy with so
much wealth in prospect, but yhen the
dividends came due and were not paid
a meeting Of the stockholders was
called and a committee appointed to
investigate.
Their junket was a revelation. 1t
took them into the extreme northern
part of Idaho, and there they learned
they were not even the possessors of
the proverbial hole in the ground. The
money they had paid over and the
promoter as we'll, had vanished but
they have a few acres of ground to
show for their investment, and the
location is said to be delightfully."- pict-
uresque.

The Republican leaders in Ark ansas were much surprised by the announcement that President Roosevelt had appointed Lyman 5. Roach postmaster at TeXarbana. There was a great wrangle before the state central committee over the matter of recommending a man for the appointment, and the com mittee finally straddIed the ques- tion by ordering Q primary held for the purpose of nominating a man for the appointment. Ben Foreman and j. :. Biekley were the contestants for the position, and the contest had grown so heat ed that the President perhaps be- came disgusted with the affair and appointed an outsider, without the knowledge or consent of any of those who had become so deeply interested in the matter. He did well.

This would reach all the people, and they could thus be kept informed of the real proceedings of the leg islature.

THE GOVERNORS s VETO.

The Journal heartily endorses the action of Governor Davis in yetoing the newspaper bill passed by the legislature The bill al- lowed the members to purchase, at the state's expense. thirty copies Of daily paper every day for dis tribution among their constituents. and also allowed them twenty-five cents worth of stamps each. We have no objection to the stamp clause. The members perhaps feel called upon 10 write q good many letters to the people concerning matters of d public nature, and it is only right that the state make q small allowance for their use as postage. But the members should not expect the state to furnish them money to buy newspapers.
 Among the people at large. how many ever stopped to figure up the cost of this little graft which the legislature has been working on the people for years and yearsI
 Thirty copies of daily paper costs S1 70. and there are 134 members in the legislature. This to the snug little sum of S201 a day. For siXty-day ses- sion 1t would cost the taxpayers of the state the sum of Sl2, 2,060 to buy newspapers for the members to send out to their friends. There has not been q siXty-day session of the legislature since the editor of The Journal has been old enough to keep track of that body, ninety days being the shortest, and in many instances the sessions have been extended 10 I2O days.
 For a ninety-day session the people have to go down into their jeans and dig up nearly twenty thousand dollars-or to be exact, $I8,09O. Should the session last 120 days the amount thus expend- ed would reach the enormous sum of S24, ,120.
 The Journal does not know how long the legislature has been work ing this graft upon the taxpayers, but say ten years, and that the sessions have averaged ninety days each, which Is a conservative estimate. In that length of time the taxpayers have been robbed of S1SO. 900.
 Isn't 1t time to call halt in this iniquitous practicel The Journal thinks it is.
