Startling Pension figures.

The American correspondent for
the London National Review gives
to his paper the following informa-
ton: "A few days ago the house of
representatives passed the annual
pension bill, which carries an APP
preparation of $14O, 900, 600, and in
presenting the bill to the house the
chairman of the committee present
ed some amazing statistics. AL
though the war of independence was
fought 1913 years ago, there are still
six pensioners of that war; on ac-
count of the second war with Great
Britain 5000 widows are drawing
pensions. The civil war is suppos-
ed to have cost the country SO, 100,-
600, 900, and already more than half
that sum has been expended in
pensions. But even more eXtraordi-
nary is the pension history of the
Spanish waI. There are now on
the rolls more pensioners than the
full strength of Skaters army il
Cuba, the only army that heard {
Spanish bullet. In the Spanish wal
there were 900 deaths from al

The Mountain Home Commercial
club has accomplished much more
good than appears on the surface to
the casual observer. In fact, it has
won the big, difficult battle in its
assault upon stagnation and is now
advancing towards the goal. The
enterprising business men OF this
community and county who consti-
tutcs the clubs membership have
buried personal prejudices in the
interest of the common good, have
thus taught themselves and the pub
lie generally that this has been the
part of wisdom, good business pol
icy. One never hears here now the
sentiment expressed, when any pro-
posed enterprise is being discussed,
that if so and so has anything to
do with it, that cuts me out and
that's the big victory won. This
signal success has given the club
confidence in it's ability to dc
things; has given local application
to and proof of the fact that in uni
ty there is strength, and beneficial
results are as certain to follow as
death and taxes.

Sells Ground not Buildings.

AS a preliminary to the sale of
town lots on the Minidoka irriga-
ion tract, in this state, the secre-
tary of the interior has made de-
olson, general in character, which
has dir cct bearing on the town OF
Rupert. The secretary holds that
when the lots are sold, the Sooners
who have erected buildings in adj
vance of sale shall have the tight to
remove the buildings in case they
fail to purchase the lots they now
occupy, and it is stipulated that
whenever lots on which buildings
have been erected are bought by per-
sons other than the owners of the
building, the government conveys
title merely to the ground, not to the
buildings

have some pertinently pointed re-
marks to make on the subject dur
ing the spell-binding season. OF
course the administrator purpose
in evading a vote, is TO play both
ends against the middle, to keep the
Mormons in line and at the same
time not offend beyond reconcilia-
ton the anti-Mormon sentiment
in the east. Some of the sisters
there are becoming so insistent in
their ''holler" about the purity OF
the American home, that the exec
utive evidently feels that it is not
altogether safe to ignore that
protest.

Those telephone girls in Boise
who are protesting against an
arbitrary edict of the company that
they all wear black, will have the
moral support of every man Jack
outside of the tyrant corporation.
For a woman, especially those
young enough TO be called girls, to
dress as she pleases, which means
most becomingly, is an inalienable
right, guaranteed by the unwritten,
though memorable, law of custom,
precedence and popular approval.
To deprive these girls of the right
to wear white during the heated
term, is something scarcely less
than a crime, an offence against
art, the beautiful, the eternal fit
ness of things.

The probabilities now seem to be
that vote on the Smoot case will
again be lodged by the senate,
postponing the matter until the
next session. The republican steer
ing committee is working to that
end, seemingly at the suggestion of
President Roosevelt; seemingly so
for the reason that the Mormon in
fluence at Washington is of late
getting everything in the way of
federal patronage that goes to Utah.
If this phase of the situation be-
comes much ranker before congress
adjourns, it will supply quite as
valuable campaign thunder for the
anti-Mormons as if Smoot were
fired. In either case, Dubois will

The anonymous gentleman over
at Pocatello who is arranging the
preliminaries of Senator Dubois
political funeral, has given to the
world through the Advance his third
thesis on why his task is pro bono
publico. The burden of his current
song is that Dubois fight on the
political switchboard in the Bee
Hive tower over Salt Lake way, is
injuring Idaho. Says this alarmist,
loyalty trembling for the welfare of
the golrious Gem state:
''Think of the effect that these
reports will have on the better class
of the countless thousands of good
people that are now seeking for
homes in the northwest. Naturally,
many OF them will be frightened
away from Idaho. -
"Then, losing sight of this threat
ened calamity for a moment, the
man into whom the Senator has
thrown an adult scare, regains
courage and confidence and springs
this argument in favor of dig
ging the Dubois grave, quick:
''In this connection we should
stop long enough to see where we
stand in relation to this Mormon
influence that we hear so much
about. In Idaho at this time, the
nom ormons out number the Nor.
mons at least three to one, and many
conservative people think that onl,
about one-fifth of the total popula
tion of the state is Mormon sine
the tremendous influx of non
Mormon immigt ants that hav,
come to the state recently"

1t now looks as if the Meyer
Haywood Pettibonc trial will not
constitute the winning asset as a
political issue in the approaching
state campaign. Governor Gooding
has an undisputed monopoly OF the
issue and it is evident that all other
politicians are going to permit him
to remain in uncontested possession
thereof. If the democrats are en-
tirely wise-which they never are
they will embody in their plat
form a plank demanding square
deal on that subject. This they
can do without fear of having to
combat a republican war cry OF
''toadying to anarchy and murder. -
The dear people have an aversion
for any governmental machine that
declares men guilty of foul, bloody
crime before they are proven to be
SO, and this aversion always
amounts to revolt when the idea
gains lodg ement in their minds tha
this machinery is being employed
to persecute.

PRESIDENT WINS ON
MEAT INSPECTION

The basis of a complete agree
mcnt on the meat inspection legis-
lation between President Roosevelt
and the house committee on agri-
culture was arrived at Monday at
the White House. Speaker Cannon
the committee in this
instance and subsequently spent
some time explaining the situation
to the committee in its room at the
Capitol. The bill was practically
completed when the committee adj
journed.
1t will authorize an annual ap-
preparation of 100000 to pay
the cost of inspection and will con-
tain no provision for the levy of an
assessment to make up any def
cheney in the amount available for
this work, as suggested by Mr..
Cowan, representing the Texas
cattle growers, and later urged by
the president. The court review
provision will not be contained in
the measure. This action meets
the suggestion of the president.
The words Sin the judgment of the
secretary of agriculture will not
be contained in the measure. This
action meets the suggestion of the
president also.
/ The section waving the civil ser
vice law for one year in the election
of inspector will go out of the pro.
vision, also one of the president:
recommendations.
There is to be no date on the
label of the package of meat fooC
products. In this the presiden
yields to the committee.
The language which gives inspec'
tors the right to enter packing plant;
at all times is amplified by The
words whether the same be in OPP
Grafton or not. -
With these changes made, thu
president has indicated his entir
satisfaction with the measure which
was reported from the committee a
a substitute for the Beveridg
amendment, and was recon
mitted to the committee that tn
changes might be made.

The call for the democratic state
convention, that is being published
in republican papers and those that
can be relied upon to insert scythe
under the fifth party rib at the
proper time, states that proxies
will not be admitted to the conven-
ton. That is matter that, under
democratic party usage, the conven-
ton decides for itself, and in which
neither the central committee nor
its chairman has no voice. If del
egates to the convention are real,
sure enough, Observation-Disclosures

to usurp that privilege, spectators
will see your old party war horse

suBscRIPTIoN RATES
Rehecca Harding Davis. vino is {

Rcbccca Harding Davis, who is
writing a series of delightfully."- en-
pertaining reminiscent stories for
the Saturday Evening Post, in the
one published May 20 made most
interesting statement. Writing OF
early dav preachers in old Virginia,
she says:
Another minister without a
parish, belonging to our neighbor-
hood, played unintentionally a
strange part in the worlds his
tory. He was young man named
Solomon Spalding, who being men
aced with consumption, was oblig-
cd to give up preaching and become
the guest of the kindly farmers
living among the hills in western
Pennsylvania. My grandfather who
seems to have been a hospitablc
soul, and who had large farm
house, brought home the young
man and his wife during the win
ter of 1918. Spalding, in the hope
OF making some money, wrote a
romance, and, as his knowledge of
literature was almost confined to
the Bible and Bunyan's Pilgrim
Progress, he naturally borrowed
largely from both books in his
story. 1t was the history of GER
tain Hebrew named Lehi who, with
his family, left Judea and came tc
this country in the fifth century,
becoming the founder of all the
Indian tribes. My mother, who was
"a child at the time of Spalding' Is
visit to the homestead, remembered
how the pale young man would reac
his story in the winter evenings tS
the family who were gathered
around the fire. After Spaldins
left my grandfather house he gav'
the manuscript TO another unplace'
Baptist minister named Sidney Rig
don to sell for him to the publisher
in Philadelphia. Soon afterwar'
he died. Rigdon, in Western New
York, fell in with shrewd fellow
who was living by his wits, name
Joseph Smith, and out of this coali
ton came the Mormon Bible
drought by angels and written Oh
golden plates, - which nobody eve
saw. The great tragedy of the his
tory Of 2the. Church in Utah followe
"a Tragedy which has not ye
come ITO AM end.

causes, including disease, and 9, 376
casualties of every description. Yet
there have already been filed 90, o67
applications for pensions, and the
pension office seldom rejects an ap
plication. There is no adequate
explanation of this anomaly, except
the true one, that the pension roll,
instead of benig a roll of honor, is
honeycombed with fraud, and that
men are drawing pensions who are
in nowise properly entitled to
them

Moore, of the Weiser Signal,
roasted Debbs at the National Edi-
torial association in Indianapolis
last week That was a clear case
of the man recognizing the fact
that Opportunity, master of hui
man destinies, had made his call,
would call no more; he collared
that one chance, and now behold the
gaudy result. Editor Moore's name
was put on the wires and he was
elected third vice president of that
august body, the editors in conven-
ton assembled. Talk about fame
being a scratch is all buncumb; il
is a cinch for those who deserve
it by earning it.
