THE SLOANE TRIAL.

1t is said the trial Of Sidney Sloane
in Spokane is likely to continue a
month longer. The defendant is the
young man who murdered his father
some months ago and dragged the body
into an alley. He committed the
crime apparently for money, though
that point has not been cleared up.
The father was a we'll known merchant
of the city and the son was such a
graceless young scamp as are found in
great numbers in every community.
That the boy would commit murder
seems never to have occurred to any
body; he was simply rich young hood
lum who did as so many others of his
kind and he was given no attention
until his fathers body was found and
the evidence showed the son was the
murderer.
The trial OF the murderer is being
heightened Indemnity by efforts of a
great array Of attorneys to prove the
boy was insane and that he came by it
through prenatal influence. 1t is
claimed he was in the habit OF doing
all manner of things which showed he
was unbalanced, and further claim is
that he came into the world with dis
ordered mental organism as a result Of
excessive use OF intoxicants by his
father.
1t is shame that such case as
that has to be tried out before a jury,
consuming weeks Of time Such pro-
ceedings bring the administration Of
justice into disrepute and tend direct
ly to encourage crime. Our laws wise
ly provide that no insane person shall
be punished for crime committed by
him; but there should be some way to
determine whether a man is insane
without submitting the whole matter
as part of the evidence in a murder
trial. That point should be heard sep
arate and apart from the murder trial
before an expert commission appointed
for the purpose. The decision of the
commission should end the matter,
the accused being sent to the asylum
if found insane, or put on trial for muir
der if adjudged of sound mind. Boise

has no sawmill, but it has other things
worth more. 1t is the county seat of
a great county, it has the University of
the state; the Federal Court meets
there; it is surrounded with rich, fer
tile soil, and it is, by far, the most de-
sirable residence city in the Inland
Empire
Yet Moscow has not enjoyed any
thing like even a normal prosperity
during the past two years, while it has
had the distinction Of being the only
Inland Empire town with daily paper,
and should have had an advantage in
the matter of publicity and ability to
boost. But instead Of doing the
greater work within its power the Mos
COW Daily Journal turned pirate, talk
ing only for tribute. and has knocked.
Instead Of building up, the Journal has
torn down, and gloried in the havoc it
has wrought. 1t has howled about
exhorbitant taxation until Moscow S
best citizens have tired and those who
could have sold out and moved away.
Its policy has touched the real estate
market and property cannot be sold.
Not content with this the Journal has
hurled its poisoned darts of pessimism
into the University and discredited the
college throughout Idaho and the en-
tire West.
The wonder is that Moscow, with a
due regard for its own welfare, has
not rebelled and refused to feed the
gang, who, like pack of half-starved
wolves, make night hideous with theil
bowling, destroying whatever falls
within their reach. If Moscow would
grow, let it, like Palouse, build up a
newspaper that will not knock.

PROSPERITY COMING.

Latah county is just starting on an
era of prosperity greater by many fold
than this section ever knew. The
building of new railroads, with mills
and factories and well-paid laborers,
with large home market for every
product of the farm, spells prosperity
with big P. Real estate is going to
advance, towns will grow into cities,
and the county's population will in
crease ten fold within a few short
years. Latah county is going TO be-
come the greatest, in point of popula-
ton and wealth, of Idaho's sisterhood
OF counties. Our timber will be trans
formed into millions of gold, our pros
poets developed into producing mines,
while our fertile farms will become
garden spots that can and will sustain
an empire. You of little faith and you
who are inclined to kick and knock,
need but to open your eyes and COM
prehend, for the handwriting on the
wall is plain enough for him who runs
to read.

THE BABY ACT.

Even Senator Dubois erstwhile
friends among the Democrats OF this
state are disguised with him over an in
terview given out in Washington We'd
nesday, in which he makes the silly
charge that his defeat for reelection to
the senate is attributable to the fact that
the proclamations creating six new for
est reserves in Idaho were held back
until after election. He claims that
had the reserves been created prior 10
November 6, it would have resulted in
the election of legislature that would
have returned him to the senate. He
claims that all fores'y officials in this
state, irrespective of party, voted for
his friends on the legislative ticket,
because it is known that he is in
hearty accord with the administration s
forest reserve policy. Dubois blub-
bers that Roosevelt and Chief Forester
Pinchot delayed the issuance of the
proclamations in order to afford him no
issue during the campaign.
This sounds odd. During all the
campaign Dubois insisted that there
was but one issue-the Mormon"
issue. He steered clear Of a discus
sion of all other matters, and trained
his heaviest guns upon the voters of
the southeastern counties, whom he
claimed were dominated by the 'hier-
arch" In his stump-speaking cam
paign he discussed no national issues,
no great fundamental principles of gov
eminent, no interesting theories Of
politics. He devoted himself solely
and exclusively to the Mormon"
matter.
And now he comes forward and
claims that through official conspiracy
he was deprived of the only issue upon
which there was any hope for his re-
election.
Dubois has been Inundated enough
without himself adding to his humilia-
ton by doing the baby act.-Pocatello
Tribune.

MOSCOW SHOULD HEED.

Palouse is admitted to be the best
town in the Palouse country, according
to the Garfield Enterprise, which ex-
plains by saying that in Palouse the
businessmen all pull together. The
Garfield editor might have added that
Palouse has newspaper, the Republic,
that is dandy, and which spends
every ounce of its energy boosting
Palouse and Palouse enterprise. The
Republic never looses an opportunity
to stand up for Palouse, and has found
no time, even during a campaign, to
knock its town and abuse the bust
nessmen. Palouse is a progressive,
growing town, with taxes pretty stiff,
but the Republic has not used up good
space bowling about high taxes and
telling the world that Palouse is the
most immoral town in Whitman coun-
ty or the entire state of Washington.
1t has never stirred up trouble in its
public schools, nor gone out of its way
10 tear down the humblest institution
in the thriving young city. The Re-
public has done nothing but boost and
push, telling those who would listen
that the best town on earth is Palouse;
that the most progressive businessmen
live in Palouse. AS a result of this
broad-guaged policy Palouse has, by a
united endeavor, pushed forward and
enjoyed growth that has been
splendid.
Here is lesson for Moscow, and
her citizens ought to give the above
facts serious thought. And having
thought, their duty to their city ought
certainly be plain. True, Moscow

To keep that which you find without
making an honest effort to return it to
its owner is just as dishonest as any
other kind of stealing. Simply because
someone had the misfortune to loose
either money or other property, does
not give the finder cleaa title. 1t is
not yours and simply finding does not
change the matter. When, after a
reasonable effort, you have failed to
find the owner, it is then yours by
common custom, and in law the has a
preference right.

Senator Hepburn is preparing bill
establishing land courts in the public
land states where appeals from decisions
of local land offices shall be heard
The bill also provides for a national
land court in Washington, to have final
jurisdiction. The senator thinks this
system will afford more intelligent de-
cisions than those rendered by the in
terror department and will also prove
more expeditions.

TIMBER EXTENSION.

The News believes the timber ex-
tension question will, before another
election, become a political issue, and
that the matter will present much
different aspect from the question
as presented to the people Of Latah
county, at least, two years ago. Now
the timber company, here in our
county, has built and is actually oper-
ating the finest and largest mill in the
world. They are constructing a stand
ard guage railroad forty miles into
the interior Of our county, developing
a vast section Of rich and fertile terri
tory, increasing land values, and MAX
ing for all farm products of this
county magnificent home market.
By the investment of millions the
Weyerhausers, under the direction and
management OF Messrs. Deary and
Laird, have actually begun operations
on scale almost beyond the compre-
hension of our people, and the magni-
tude Of which few yet realize. Nor is
it to the advantage OF the people,
now that the giant mill, with its great
pay roll, is reality, that it hasten the
destruction Of our forests and close the
doors of the big plant. What the peo-
pie want is continuous operation for, if
possible, hundred years. What we
need is employment for an army of
man xyho mill ~, t,,xo oooe,s,oa 90 49,
very door, the surplus from our farms,
our orchards, our gardens, and our
diaries. What we want is denser pop
ulation, more wealth, larger cities, with
factories and mills and furnaces. What
we want is the development of our
great natural resources, followed as It
will be, with increased farm values and
greater prosperity. What we want is
the up-building of a greater Inland
Empire, peopled with thousands of
busy men, where today, as in year past,
reigns solitude OF tall and stately
pines.
Certainly there are none so narrow
that they would, for moment, place
ought in the way OF those whose
wealth is now invested here, bringing
with it SO much good. We believe the
people will gladly meet the timber
operators half way, granting to them
every favor commensurate with good
public policy. If, as the timber peo-
pie allege, more time will be neces-
sary, the News believes the people
will be sufficiently liberal to enable the
operators to harvest their holdings
economically and scientifically, pro-
vided, in sodoing no public disadvan-
tage follow nor hardship entail.
The timber people now admit that
extension, asked for before they had
actually done anything, was blunder.
But with operations actually begun,
with their good intentions established
to the satisfaction Of the public mind,
with the plant in evidence, their case
is different and their claim for consid-
Grafton entitled to some attention.
The News believes the people will be
fair and just.

BRIEF RECORD OF
COUNTY EVENTS
Special
Correspon-
dence

says the Bulletin, and has been roam
ing around that portion of the coun-
ty ever since, making his appearance
at intervals to several persons in that
vicinity.
He first made his appearance on
the farm of Mr.. Zinc, where dra-
matte scene ensued. Mrs. Zinc had
her infant child, months old, in a
hammock under a cherry tree, while
she was attending to some duties
around the premises when. happening
tc look in the direction of her child.
she saw the cougar attempting to
drag the baby from the hammock
With wild scream of terror. she
made a run for the scene, and grab
bing up her offspring, she fled in ter
ror into the house. The animal did
not appear to be at all alarmed, but
walked away from the premises in a
very deliberate manner, apparently
very much disappointed at being
baked in his efforts to make a meal
off the baby.

Inspect Navy's Nfeat.

Brooklyn. n. Y, Aug. 29.-Instruc-
tions have been sent to the command
ant and purchasing pay officer at the
Brooklyn navy yard to exercise great
er care, If possible, in the inspection
Of meat purchased under contract for
the naval service. There is no inten-
ton Of annulling the contracts, and
any impression to that effect will be
removed when the instructions from
the navy department are examined.
II would be lacking in business sa-
gacity IL any Of the contracts for
meat or annual provisions were re-
voked. It is by means Of these con-
tracts that the navy department Is
able to reimburse the expenditures
made necessary in the purchase of
provisions to take the place Of those
rejected as inferior.
The cancellation Of a contract
would relieve the contractor of his
obligation to that extent. The Off
cials have been instructed 70 keep up
the Inspections and to report to the
department the result OF the examina-
tions.
