STATE POLITICS.
Free Trade Not Wanted

Free Trade Not wanted
1t has always beer a surprise to us
and by the result of the ballots cast II
must also surprise the voters why a
party will advance a free trade argu-
ment.
The United States of America thrives
on a protective tariff. The protective
tariff protects the American working
man at all times.
Take of the tariff on wool and what
is the result? Mills opening up in for
eign countries and ours closing at
home, Why? Simply because the la
boring men receive such low wages in
the foreign countries hat the foreign
manufacturer could manufacture the
goods. ship them around the world and
still make 1t impossible for our facto.
ries to compete with them.
Suppose that the tariff IN cotton was
removed, for instance. How long
would it be before the English and 9TH
er nations would be supplying us with
foreign made goods? At the present
time thousands of people are out of
work in England. Give us free trade
and those people and also many others
in other countries will have plenty of
work and the American workmen will
be walking the streets.
The fear of free trade has kept the
democratic party out of office. The
people of the United States are pros
porous. They get plenty to eat, are
well clothed and enjoy life. Do they
want free trade? No; and another
thing, they don't propose to have it

Isn't 1t a little strange that the only
comparison of candidates the Boone
rang has attempted is to compare a re-

who is not? This was necessary in or.

high class with the republican candidate.
In every instance the republican candi-

Woman'S Trials.

The bitter trail in a woman's life is to
be childleSS. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this link TO bind marital life
together. the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap-
pointmeut. Many unfortunate couples
become ~estranged thereby. Even II they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointmentin the eyes
OF such a childless couple when they rest
on the children Of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous,
In many eases of b~arrennesS or child
lessness the obstacle TO child-bearing is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means of
restoring health and fruitfulneSS to many
a barren woman, TO the great joy of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing OF children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative

STATE TAX LEVY.

The tax levy for state purposes was
fixed by the state board of equalization
at 5.4 mills. The levy is for the year
1906, and will be included in the
county levies collectible next February.
| The indication of the compilation of
the schedules, so far as progressed,
that the equalized valuations would
effect an increase of about $40, 900, 900,
was not sustained by the final compu-
tations submitted by the board, which
made little change in the totals of
returns by the counties, leaving the
equalized valuations at $3.50, 229, 1856.
There was some difference of opinion
among the board members as to the
rate for the state levy. State Auditor
C. B. Clausen and Secretary of State
Sam Nichols favored two mill levy
for the general fund, but they were
outvoted by the balance of the board,
Tax Commissioners T. D. Rockwell
j. E. Frost, J. H. Easterday and
Land Commissioner E. w. Ross voting
for the $40 mill levy.
The school levy of IA mills repre-
sents rate that will produce an ad-
dition to the estimated revenues of the
school fund from other sources, which
is approximately $46O, 900, sum equal
to $40 head for all persons of school
age in the state, according to the
school census.
/ The aggregate for the state real
estate and improvements thereon are
as follows:
Total acreage, 8,906, 768. Unim-
proved, 14,168, ,504 acres. County

DEATH OF CYRUS SPURGEoN.

Cyrus Spurgeon, resident of Pull
man and Palouse country pioneer,
died in Spokane Wednesday, October
10th, of appoplexy, death coming al
most without warning, and as a great
shock to his host of friends.
The deceased removed to Pullman
a few years ago from Rosalia, near
which place he had settled in 1880.
He was closely identified with the
building up period of his home com
munity, and was one of the most re-
spected citizens of the county.
The deceased was 50 years of age,
apparently in robust health, and in
the full enjoyment of life. He was
member of the Masonic and Odd
Fellow orders, and the funeral was
held at Rosalia yesterday, being at
tended by number of friends of the
deceased from this city. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. w. G.
M. Hays, pastor of the U. P. church
of Pullman.

W..
men who laid the foundation of the
Oregon Territory, and which of course
included the territory of Washington
and Idaho, he was familiar, for he
was one of them; and it has often been
a great matter of delight to me to
meet him and talk with him of those
great souls, for of them all he could
tell some anecdote that was entertain
ing and instructive.
"Of his Masonic career, in the brief
time allotted to me have found but
little. He has been Mason for
more than forty years, being a charter
member of Hiram Lodge No. q, at
ColfaX, and a charter member of
Whitman Lodge No. 40, at Pullman.
| have searched the records of the
Grand Lodge of Oregon, but | do not
find that he ever affiliated with any of
the lodges in that state. Therefore |
strongly suspect that he was made a
Mason before he went into the Mexican
war or while in the state of California,
for during that period Masonry was
exceptionally strong and a great factor
IN both those communities.
1.-The life of this man covered
period of greater accomplishment than
the world has ever known before.
He knew more of life and observed a
development in all the arts and
sciences, the strength of armies, and
of mans will over the inanimate
things of this earth than was dreamed
of by Caesar, Napoleon or Washing
ton, or even Solomon, whose wisdom
was such that there was none like
unto him.
"A deep and lasting lesson may be
drawn from this occasion. We are not
here merely to bury the dead, for his
ear IS deaf and his tongue is silent.
and if there be no lesson for us TODAY,
then our ceremonies are but hollow
mockeries; but it is possible for us to
gather from the period in which this
man lived some conception of the
bounding pace of civilization and the
rapid advancement of things material
and political.
In the year of 1921 James Monroe
was president of the United States.
In that year we took possession of
Florida-a Spanish possession. Cali
fornia belonged to Spain; Texas was
Mexican territory, and the ground upon
which we stand was territory without
allegiance to any power, but in a
manner claimed by two. Thomas
Jefferson was still alive, and the
Marquis de Lafayette had not yet
made his farewell trip to America.
There were less than 400, 600 voters in
the United States. He was born two
years before the first railroad COM
pany was Incorporated in America.
He lived to see three great wars fought
by his country. He lived to see an
unsettled area more than two thousand
miles square pass into private owner
ship, and even the lavish prodigality
of an improvident government brought
to stand for lack of public domain;
domain which he believed in his early
life, as our fathers believed, was ex-
haustless and inexhaustible. He lived
to sec the signal fires that carried
from mountain top to mountain top
the slow message of the pioneer, give
way to the voice transmitted over
miles of space. He saw all these
things and more, for | am not here to
number all things, but to suggest the
wide vision of the man who is spared

pALOUSE PIONEER
PASSES AWAY
Uncle John" Tabor Killed by Being Struck
by Train

f. Uncle John A. Tabor, whose long
life was filled with those deeds that
go to make of mans life success,
and to make him beloved by his fell
lows, was suddenly summoned across
the border to the Great unknown,
last Sunday afternoon, an accident
cutting down our old friend who, in
spite of the storms of SIS years, was
still rugged and hearty.
1t was while visiting with relatives
at Colfax that the sad ending came to
we'll spent life. Sunday afternoon
Mr.. Tabor went out for a stroll, walk
ing, in company with friends, along
the railroad track The afternoon
train coming in from Pullman,
rounded the curve near the Colfax
brickyard, and was near on to "Uncle
John" before his failing eyesight de-
tected it. He stepped from the track,
however, and thought he was beyond
! danger, but the cross-head on the en-
gin struck him on the hip, throwing
him violently to the ground, break
ing the plate bone in the hip, the
thigh bone, one bone in the left arm,
and dislocating the right shoulder.
Even though so cruelty bruised, the
mind of the old man was still clear,
and he remarked that he thuoght he
was far enough away from the track
to escape. He was taken to the home
of his step son, W. J. Hamilton,
where his life closed at 8 80 o'clock
that evening, his two daughters, Mrs.
w. l.. LaFollette and Mrs. J. B.
Holt, with other relatives, being at
his bedside.
The funeral services were held at
ColfaX Tuesday afternoon, being at
tended by hundreds of the friends of
the departed pioneer from all parts of
the county. 1t was conducted by the
Masonic order of Pullman, assisted by
the Masons of Colfax, Mr.. Tabor hav-
ing been a charter member of the
lodge of each place. The pail bearers
were Messrs. Ewart and Taylor, also
charter members of the Colfax lodge,
and Messrs. Higgins, Matthews, Dow
nen and Letterman, charter members
of the Pullman lodge. Judge S. j.
Chadwick, past grand master of the
Masonic order, delivered the following
comprehensive and eloquent tribute to
the life and memory of the grand old
man:
"With bowed heads and solemn
thoughts we have again assembled to
pay a parting tribute to one whom we
loved and honored,
at was fitting that in the fulness
of his years our friend and brother was
called to his long home at that time
of the year when the harvests are
gathered and the world is beautiful
with the ripened fruits and grains.
