SHORT WEIGHT BUTTER.
Idaho Food Inspector Is After tho
CreamerieS.

Every pound of butter sold in
Lewiston is of short weight" said A.
f. Hit, state dairy and food commits
sioner. to the Lewiston Tribune. 'In
performing the duties that devolve
upon me as guardian of the pure
food laws of the state, l have made
a searching investigation of food con-
ditions in this city and have found
that butter, syrups and baking pow
der and several other products are
not labeled as required by law.
"The new law requires that the
component parts of food products be
printed on the label, and in some in
stances has specified the particular
wording to be used. In three cases
in this city 1 have found butter that
had neither brand nor manufacturers
name, and this have caused to be
sent back to the creamery.
81 have officially notified several
creamery companies outside of the
state that are sending butter in here,
that the products must comply with
the requirements of the law regard
ing labelling and full weight or else
be confiscated. Three different
brands of butter / have prohibited
from coming into the state unless in
I intend to enforce the statutes and
am taking a number of samples of
suspicious food to Boise where 1 will
have them analyzed by the state
chemist"

may delay concentration of Admiral 1 Togo's fleet. On the other hand, Ad- miral Rojestvenskys ships must have foul bottoms, and are, in word, out of condition as the result of sail half round the world He may reit and recuperate at or near Saigon in French 1ndo-China.
 It is difficult to say which fleet will be the aggressor in the distant China sea-which will seek the other. The China sea is about one thousand miles long north and south, and Formosa Strait is the way that ships go in order to get into the Eastern sea One thou sand miles farther north lies the Ko- rean straits or the gate to the Japan sea. Vladivostok lies on the Japan sea. A battle may not take place until the Russian fleet attempts to pass through Formosa straits, and Russia must win that battle if she ex- poets to pass through the narrow Korean straits.
 All are anxious to see a battle Of two such fleets, for it may lead to peace. The Russians have the most battleships, and the Japanese the most armored cruisers. The Russians are in a desperate condition, while the Japanese are filled with the prestige of victory. It is idle to prophecy when the two fleets may meet any day. And then again they may not meet In months time. The stake is the mas tery of the sea- and it is stake that will determine the present war, deep ly modifying pace negotiations. The resourceful Togo may conclude to wear his enemy out by long delays, skilful torpedo boat attacks, and elusive maneuvers, accomplishing finally the destruction of an enemy that has no base, without endangering his own ships. In short, there may be no general battle.

New snlndIes in the South.

In the first quarter of the present calendar year plans were made in the south for installing 110,632 spin. dies and POPS looms, at an approxi- mate cost of $2,000,O00. These figures are less than those for the first quar- ter of last year, but they are large enough to show that the south is still ambitious to spin and even to weave its own cotton.
 Mississippi is to have 2O,OO0 more spindles; North Carolina, 20,l20; Ten nessee, 22000; South Carolina, $500, and Texas, 5000 Alabama's spindle age is to be increased but 1000! Whats the matter with Alabama? We need a William Allen White from Kansas to ask this question. If the Woodstock cotton mills of Anniston had not decided to add thousand spindles to it's stock of spindles Ala bama would have had no place in the quarters record.
 There is no good reason why Ala bama towns and investors should re- feet spindles from their plans of the present year. Cotton mills are mak, ing money, and Georgia money IS going into them rapidly Alabama Will lose her high rating in cotton manu- featuring if she does not wake up. She is now the fourth state in the south in spindleage and it will be greatly to her discredit if she falls to fifth place.

Deceased Wife's Sister.

The British House of Commons has for the eighth time passed bill legal izing marriage with a deceased wifos sister The vote was 149 to GA. The bishops will muster to man in the House of Lords and lead the weaker members of that nerveless body for the eighth time against a deceased wife's sister bill.
 If any earthly objection to the mar riage of a deceased wife's sister exists this country has never discovered it. In forty-five states and four territories no law or sentiment exists against a marriage of that sort. When King Edward was Prince of Wales, he went out of his way to occupy seat in the House of Lords for the purpose of voting in favor of decsased wlfe's sister bill. But thus far Ithe bishops and the weddings have controlled the House of Lords.
 The bill is not a party measure, and it has to go on it's merits only. with no party or party leaders behind it. It does not personally interest many persons, and it comes to pass in that way that the bishops of the es- tablished church can control the House of Lords in favor of law that has nothing behind it except age and the canons of the English church. The time will come, however, when the people will get behind the bill, and then the spineless House of Lords will see that it must not longer defy the will of the House of Commons. In the meanwhile Englishmen will find ways to circumvent the law. They will con tinue to marry deceased wifes sisters as they have long been doing. They know the law no longer commands respect, and that it can therefore be disregarded without mourning danger ous risks.

On Gettlnq Married.

"This marriage business is a risky game" said a young fellow who stood at the steps of a Pullman, bidding fare- well to several friends, who were ex- tending their felicitation on his approach ing wedding "A fellow never knows what he Is going up against but then I think 1t pays to make the plunge, even if you do strike a wrong streak of luck. The experience Is worth a lot and there is no reason why a fellow should throw himself away just because he made a mistake the first time. However, l might say that there won't be any mistake In this case How could there be?
 My pulse? Perfectly normal; but if you won't tell I'll confess that l have pint of good stuff in my pocket that l am going to use en route. l really need something, you know.
 How do I feel? Well, somewhat like the small boy who is standing on the bank getting ready to take the first plunge of the season into the old swim ming hole when he knows that the water is cold-nervous and f1ighty, trhe un- easy, a longing to get through with it and desire to hold back But the real ordeal will come when l face the preacher. That's when 1 will need support.

Judoe Parker and MT. Bryan.

The two star speakers at the two Jefferson banquets-the one held III Chicago and the other in New York did not essentially disagree. Judge Parker in discussing in New York the republican party said:
 Tt has everything that patronage can suggest or imply. In return Tor iaVors received it sells to the highest bidder or freely gives the powers of government Nothing that the ingenuity of monopoly can suggest as within it's scope or ln- terest, is withheld.
 "on the other hand we cannot deal with a trust or a self-seeking GLASS; we neither have nor can acquire the things they want, and we can say with trntn' that, when in power, we have refused even to consider them as a possible asset. IL may be an element of weakness, but we have never developed the faculty Of pur- chasing votes in gross by turning over to chosen agents powers belonging to the people"
 MT. Bryan spoke in Chicago, turning his attention chiefly to Judge Dunne's victory. He said:
 aIf Jefferson was loath to endorse patent which gave a man limited mo- nopoly of thing which he actually in- vented, would he be likely to favor the giving of permanent monopoly to nien who invent nothing except new methods or evading taxation or of corrupting coun- cls? Nothing is more consistent with the support of Jeffersonian principles than the ownership and operation by the public of every industry which is in it's nature monopoly"
 There is no great difference between these two utterances. In substance they are much alike. In form they differ because MT. Bryan is master of vigorous English whereas Judge l Parker has acquired a conservatism of expression that may be said to be judicial. MT. Bryan talks from the shoulder, while Judge Parker talks like a man who does not desire to be dsagreeable. But when anlyzed both construe the principles of Jefferson alike.
 There is room in the party for both Mr. Bryan and Judge Parker-for both radicals and conservatives, provided they do not turn their backs upon lief fersonian principles. Thomas Jeffer- son did not see the economic perils of this period in the republics course, but he stood for equal rights for all and special privileges for none, and that position fits this age of privilege, and it will fit all ages in the future. When that position is disregarded in this country the republic will cease to exist and there Is not democrat in the land who does not stand on the Jeffersonian platform.

The Quebec Bridqe

'"rhe new bridge acroes the St. Law renee river at Quebec will put New Yorks East River briges into the second class" said New York man. "The river span of the Brooklyn bridge Is 1895 feet The span of the Williamsburg bridge is 1900 feet. The Quebec bridge will be 1900 feet from pier to pier. Its total length. how ever. will be much less than that of either of the New York structures, be- cause of the elevation of the river banks at the points of approach.
 The east river bridges have a clearway of lS5 feet above the water level. The Quebec structure vii. have clearway of 150 feet It's width of 80 feet Is less than that of either of the New York bridges, the East river bridge being s5 feet and the Williamsburg 11s feet. It will carry a double track railroad, a double track trolley, highways and side walks. Its towers will be 360 feet above the river. compared with PTS feet for the Brooklyn and 335 for the Williamsburg The contractors are an American firm and the structure when completed will form a part of the new Grand Trunk Pacific railway, from Moncton to the Pacific coast"

SMOKING TELLS CHARACTER.

From the Modern Mexico.
 A Mexican contemporary gives the fol- lowing rules for judging character by the manner in which cigarettes are smoked:
 He who smokes his cigarette down to the bitter end is either a miser or an egotist Out of each ten nine are misers.
 He who smokes fast without ever talk ing the cigarette from his mouth is hot tempered, jealous, of strong character and quarrelsome.
 Those who knock off the ashes at short intervals have something on their mind or are worrying over their bad luck.
 Those who play with their cigarettes un- til they burn their fingers or their lips are either poets or newspaper men. Out of every ten eight are newspaper men and two are poets.
 Those who carry their cigarettes deli cately between the index and the middle finger are first-class liars, and the truth is not in them.
 Those who puff out the smoke in big clouds enjoy good health.
 Those who blow it out in thin, littlt streams are invalids or lazy.
 Those who take great pains to prevent the ashes dropping from the cigarette are foolish and weak-minded.
 Those who smoke in front of the ladie have never read a work on good man. ners.

From the New York World.

From the New York World
 'The Globe of Death" the latest cycle sensation. is being presented for the first time in this country at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre of Varieties As a hair raising feat 1t is winner. There Is no trick or Illusion about the act.
 A perfect sphere. sixteen feet in diam- eter, made of steel wire with two-inch mesh. is set up on the stage. The globe has a small door in the portion that fronts the audience.
 In this door William Stone, the man who originally 'looped the loop" on a bicycle, takes motorcycle. He gradually attains great speed on the machine, cir cling the sphere at furious rate. and all the time climbing toward what might be termed its equator
 Stone goes so fast that it Is difficult to watch him. Then, with the motorcycle going at a speed of thirty miles an hour, the rider suddenly swoops to the bottom of the globe and loops the loop in the sphere. He makes the loop about fifteen times, and does other death-defying stunts" The act Is a genuine thfisrer.

 NN R. JOAQUIN MILLER-other- I\pl wise MT. Cincinnatus Heine Miller-contributes to the Critic letter on the much discussed slump" in poetry which is well worth careful consideration. MT. Miller is the Buffalo Bill of literature. His poetry less known now than 1t was a generation ago, de- parted as far from academic models as the poetry of Whitman. Perhaps 1t was for this reason that he became great favorite in England. where people regard the wild western flavor as appropriate to q crude civilization like ours and appear ed in aristocratic drawing rooms with his trousers tucked into his boots. Such an appearance he now makes allegorical- ly, brandshing a bowie knifee and pro- claiming himself bad man" What does he care for the accpeted laws Of crit icism? Like MT. Howells, he thinks that Shakespeare is a dusty millstone on a fast vanishing road, and that the present age has far surpassed him. Nor is Shakes peare alone thus Danished to the limbo os dead reputations.. Against the souls of other poets dead and gone Is MT. Mill ler's anethema pronounced. There is more real poetry" he says, Tin little book by Thomas Bailey Aldrich than in Milton Dante and Homer"
 O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! MT. Aldrich has written some charming poetry: but no one heretofore has set him upon so high pedestal; nor is his somewhat fastidious muse goddess who might be expected to en- thrall MT. Miller. There is nothing of the wild west in the environment of the poet os Mount Vernon street and Ponkapog And bewilderment grows when the Amer ican Cincinnatus leaves his plough for further wonderings afield. 'Nature-plain common sense." he says, is the essence of poetry. Now Mir Aldrich's attitude Is somewhat conscious and artificial. as his light-hearted farewell to his goddess shows. There is certainly nature and nlain common sense in Shakespear, whom MT. Miller accuses of having neither art nor decency Not content with making A slaughter house and mad house of the stage" he says of the author of Ham,
 
 dig up dead men anl make rude jests over their bones in his very best poem. The grim satire of the scene thus char acterized should appeal to one who had lived the free life of the Sierras The Elizabethan dramatists were pioneers in their way, too. But Mir. Miller cannot for give them their freedom of speech, which he calls indecent. I've have never yet staged a nasty play he says. Or is MT. Miller's conception of nastiness as vague as testing Pilates idea of truth?
 America has outgrown "the higher forms of poetry" in the opinion of the Buffalo Bill of literature. American poet ry therefore, must be written by ''the men who do things'-when they have time. The reason for the slump is that these men are too busy at present with other things. Our poems cries the new Cincinnatus, "are the Kentucky yellow corn fields, the enamelled seas of the

Tt was rather peculiar fact that two old Birmingham pitchers should nave pitched opening games and lost them, said fan last nigl.t Wilhelm, who was about the best that the south mas produced in many years, went up agalhs' McGraws Giants and they put the hn- ishng touches to him.
 Frank Smith, the Big Hoss' of the Barons for a long time, opened for tFe White Sox against St. Louis, and was trimmed by score of ? to 1. Only seven hits were secured off Smith, but he lost lis game at that.
 However, l believe that both the boys will remain where they are, as both of them are great pitchers, and they should grow better every year.

In the China Sea.

The world knows that a Russian fleet is in the China sea, and also a Japanese fleet, for Formosa is at the head of that sea. The outside world knows that the two fleets are enc. mics, each proposing to destroy the other. This is the extent of the world s knowledgxe in relation to the hostile fleets. It does not know where in the big sea they are, or how strong either is.
 Two narrow straits connect the In dian ocean with the China sea-Sunda and Malacca. The Japanese fleet was compelled to watch both, and this
