A. ROBINS IS FOUND
The Insane Man Was Captured
Near Grangevil1e.
HE WAS SICK IN A BARN
Committed to Hospital For the In
sane at Orofino.

Arthur Robins, the insane man
who escaped from the Medical
Lake asylum April % and ter
rorized this community by threat
ening to take the life of his
brother, Ernest Robins, at Clear
water, and threatening other
people, was captured near Clear
water and taken to Grangeville
by w. Stillwell and R. Colder
and turned over to the county
authorities. He was given hear
ing before Probate Judge Jacques
who pronounced him insane and
ordered him committed to the
hospital at Orofino.
Robins passed through Elk
City after his escape from Medi-
cal Lake, and though word had
been sent out requesting that he
be captured he succeeded in get
ting through. He appeared at
the home of his brother one
night and attempted to kill him,
failing only because the revolver
did not discharge. He then dis
appeared after making threats
against his brothers life, but
turned up the next evening at
the Dale Clark home. He van
ished again that same evening
and although searched for and
seen several times he was not
captured until several days.
A small boy saw him enter an
old barn one and a half miles
from Clearwater and ran to the
town to spread the news. Six
men started at once for the scene
and. while four stood outside
guarding the exits two entered
the barn. 1t was feared that
Robins was armed and would Of
fer resistance, but upon the ap-
proach of the two men he sur
rendered quietly. He had no
weapons when searched. He
said he was sick when he entered
the barn and wanted a. place to
rest. He was taken to the hotel
at Clearwater and guarded dur
ing the night lest he escape again.
He would not talk much and
would not tell where he had been
hiding nor how he sdbsisted.

REPUBLICANS
WILL CONTROL

TRENTON, Sept. 19.-The politi-
cal campaign now on includes sena-
torial contests in six of the counties
of the state-Burlington, Cape May,
Hunterdon, Middlesex, Passaic and
Sussex. Sussex and Hunterdon are
now in democratic hands and are
likely to remain so. The others are
republican, and there is no likelihood
of a change in any of them, with the
possible exception of Passaic.
1t is therefore assured that the re-
publicans will continue to hold the
upper branch of the legislature, as
they will also doubtless retain con
troll of the house. The senate last
winter stood seventeen republicans to
four democrats, and the chances are
it will be the same this year, or at
least that the democrats will not add
more than one to their represents
ton, leaving the republicans largely
in the majority. This, of course,
will insure the election of a republi-
can as United States senator, Senator
Dryden being slated by the state ma
chine at this time to return as his
own successor, with Corporation
Counsel George l.. Record, of Jersey
City, and Chandler w. Riker, of New
ark, mentioned as candidates of the
Colby reformers.
The principal feature of the situa-
ton throughout the state is the
strong fight the Colby men are maxi
ing against the county machines, and
in many sections, with fair prospects
of success. The republican bosses in
several counties, however, are very
optimistic.
In Burlington county Senator John
c.. Horner's term expires. He would
not object to another term, but the
last speaker of the house, Assembly
man Samuel K. Robbins, stands a
good chance to gain the nomination.
Speaker Robbins has a strong follow
ing in his home county, but the new
idea men" may upset his calculations.
Senator Lewis M. Crosse, of Cape
May, is a candidate for denomination
and he believes he will win out in
spite or the determined opposition he
is meeting from former Senator Rob-
ert j. Hand, who wants to come back
to Trenton as a lawmaker.
Hunterdon county democrats have
not yet selected a successor to Sena-
tor George F. Martens, but it has
been decided that he shell step aside.
Hunterdon is so overwhelmingly dem
ocratic that the republicans will not
waste much ammunition there.
In Middlesex county there is a live
ly fight yer the nomination between
Senator w H. c. Jackson, whom the
republican machine leaders have Sc
lected to run again, and former AS
semblyman Alexander c. Fordyce,
who is the candidate of the Colby
faction in the county.
In Passaic Senator Mckee is a can
didate for reelection, and If the

Lcounty machine wins at the primar
les he will probably get the nominal
ton, but the reform movement is
supposed to have made a strong i'm
preston among the republican voters
of Passaie, and it is far from safe to
venture a prediction that Assembly
man Marelli, the Colby candidate.
will not capture the republican nomi-
nation. The democrats are expected
to name former Senator Hinchliffe
for the place, and there is sure to
follow the hottest kind of a contest
whether Senator Mckee or Mr.. Mar
ELI is his opponent.
Sussex county is another democrat
ic stronghold, from which Senator
Jacob C. Price will probably be re-
turned.
The republicans will probably car
ry all of their usual counties for as
sembly, but there is some doubt as to
the outcome in Hudson, which is or
dinarily considered in the democratic
column and which the democrats
think will be swung back there as a
result of the hot fight between the
followers of Mayer Mark Pagan, of
Jersey City, who Is himself a candi-
date for the assembly, and the coun-
ty machine, which is led by Secretary
OF State Samuel ID. Dickinson.
But even if the democrats should
carry Hudson, thereby giving them
twelve more members of the house Of
assembly, the republicans would still
have a majority of possibly forty-fve
out of the sixty assemblymen.

THE WORM HAS TURNED.

Among the other good things that Golfers Weekly has done has been an expose of the methods by which the association of proprietary medicine manufacturers has en- deavored, and in great measure succeeded in heading off beneficial legislation, tending to curb their foisting upon the people poisonous and hurtful nostrums. by manipu- lating their contracts for advertis- ing with the newspaper press in such way as to ally the press in their behalf against any such legis- lation. Golfers published copies of these contracts, all of them con- taining clauses for their cancella- tion should there be adopted in the state or territory where the papers are published any legislation of a tendency harmful to the interests of proprietary medicine manufac- turers. Whenever, in response to n growing demand that such nos trums should present upon the labels the various constituents in their makeup, there has been in- troduced into the legislature of any given state a bill to put into the law some such provision, every newspaper in that state has re- ceived immediately, notices from concerns carrying such advertise ments in its columns, that enact lnent of that measure would work at once forfeiture of their contracts for advertisements in Chat journal. AS a consequence most Of those newspapers have become immedi- atelY active opponents of the bill objectionable to their advertisers, not onlg opposing it's enactment in their columns, but their editors and proprietors making personal appeals, both orally and by letter, to the representatives of their counties in both house and senate, to kill the bill Golfers pub
 lished the correspondence between the proprietary medicine manu. lecturers and one newspaper in Ohio, showing where that paper had resented an effort to turn upon 1t the thumbscrews in that way, and had cancelled in a single year five thousand dollars worth Of ad- vertising contracts. The paper in sisted upon it's advocacy of adop- tion of the bill, which was a good measure and ought to have been

 the power 1t was generation or two ago It don't have the weight 1t had. The people are acquaint- ed with the facts pointed out by Golfers and McClure's. One cause for this venality of the press is the policy of encouraging mul-
 tiplicity of newspapers, which has grown up in the country. A field
 which would ba taxed to support one newspaper fairly is burdened
 with three or four. Where there might be one, or perhaps two good, strong, able newspapers, there are several weak ones. With the de- liberate intention of crippling and weakening the newspaper which shows independence of thought and action men will encourage an other paper, and sometimes sev- eral, to divide up the legitimate re- venue that can be got for news paper service in a given field. Men who have no ability whatever (like our own Signor Pelegrini and his Buttinski) are encouraged to butt into the field and divide 1t for no other purpose in the world than to cripple the really useful news paper. In too many cases that course makes newspaper which would be strong, fearless and inde- pendent a weakling, open to per- suasion in directions it knows to be wrong, and a derelict in it's pub- lic duty. And, where the game is worth the candle, the strongest and best newspapers in com munity are bought oughtright or heavily subsidized by the corporate influences which wish public sem timent deceived TIE OASIS has heretofore cited one instance that came under the knowledge of it's editor where the money to meet

 aod cumulative in instances and
 eases
 Then McClure's magazine, in a
 very able article by Ray Stan
 nard Baker, depicted the way in
 which an organized literary bureau
 (more correctly, several of them) has manipulated the country news papers throughout the entire land in such a way that there has seemed an almost complete revul- sion of public sentiment upon the problem of railway rate regulation, if the sentiment of the newspa per press can be considered criterion. Strong, we'll written articles have been sent all the newspapers, and every local influence that could be brought to bear upon their editors to procure their publication has been brought into play. None of the articles have been duplicated in the press of single locality, and they have generally passed muster as the sentiment of the various editors presenting them. Only reader who had wide range of newspapers on his reading list would ever detect that these articles were not what they seemed. The ordinary newspaper editor, if at all observant, would readily detect those articles among his exchanges, particularly were the same stuff sent him, whether he used it or not.
 Now, the facts are that both Golfers and McClure's have pub- lished the truth in their aIlega tions. THE OASIS can supply proofs of both assertions in both eases. It has turned down many proposed contracts to adver- tise proprietary medicines which had in them the very clauses which Golfers cited as having been in. voked to control newspapers to oppose legislation; and in Wash lngton d few weeks ago it's editor turned over to congressman nearly half q hundred printed slips sent this newspaper by a rail- way literary bureau, with requests for publication, and each slip was an editorial which 1t was expected would be put forth as the senti- ment Of the editor.

Emerson as q Model.

MI. D. G. French, the sculptor, tells
with much relish, the story of his ex-
periences when he was commissioned
to make the bust of Ralph Waldo EN-
erson, which is now in Memorial hall
OF Harvard university. At one of the
sittings, says Mr.. French, Mr.. Emerson
rose suddenly and walked over to
where the artist was working. He
looked long and earnestly at the bust.
and then, with an inimitably droll ex-
preston, he said: "The trouble is the
more it resembles me the worse it
looks" After the sculptor had finish
ed the bust he asked Mr.. Emerson to
inspect it. The philosophers opinion
was Enthusiastically terse.
WELL" he said at last, that is the
face I shave" Mr.. Emerson, Mr..
French relates, made one of his quaint
observations about another bust. the
work of another artist. It was a char
acterless kind of thing, and showed not
the slightest hint of the Emerson char
acter. After looking it over, Emer.
son said:
1T looks as harmless as a parsnip,
doesn't it,"
