STANDARD OIL SHARPNESS.

No attempt to account for the Stand
ard Oil company as to its past, OF to
deal with it as to its present, can get
very far without keeping in the fore
ground one large fact to which William
H. Vanderbilt called prophetic atten-
ton nearly 80 years ago, says Golfers
Weekly. At one Of that long series of
Legislative investigations, Mr.. Wander
bilt was witness, unfriendly, or at
least impartial, toward the Standard
company. I don't believe" he said,
that by any legislative enactment, or
anything else, through any of the
states, or all of the states, you can
keep such men down. They will be
on top all the time. You see if they are
not. There is no question about it, but
that these men-and if you come into
contact with them I guess you will
come to the same conclusion I came to
long ago-I think they are smarter fel-
lows than am, good deal. They are
very enterprising and smart men. !
never came in contact with any class
of men as smart and as able as they
are in their business" This was the
frank tribute Of one business man to
what he deemed superior business
ability in Rcckefe Ter, Rogers, Arch
bold, Dodd and their associates. But
Mr.. Vanderbilt implied, and very likely
sincerely believed, that, because these
men are smarter than most men, there
is nothing to be done about their in
EQUITIES. Therein he belonged to his

time and differed from our own. Com
munities might just as well lie down
and abandon the effort to curb horse
thieves because horse thieves are hard
to curb. Smartness may explain cor
poration wrongs; it does not excuse
them. Smartness means the acquisi-
tive instinct highly developed, prac-
ticed OBVIOUSLY, more or less subteua-
neanly, and without scruple as to the
rights Of others. Pickpockets, forgers
and embezzlers are all, to quote Mr.
Vanderbilt, unusually smart men in
their lines. Standard Oil, like other
important monopolies, will be curbed.
But the time is coming when conspicu-
Gus talents will not so frequently
choose the predatory forms of business
for their exercise; when smartness and
shrewdness will be more often on the
side of the public interest; when the
conflict between public and private in
terest will not so often be a contest
between $3000-a-year federal or state
attorney and 5000, 000-a-year trust
lawyer; between 500, 000-a-year lob
byist and no LOBBY at all.-Chicago In

OFFICIAL VILLAGE PAPER.
A PARTY BOIL.

It is reported that young man by
the name of George Fields is about to
become the editor of a new republican
paper to be published in Moscow in
the interest of few republican polite
ians. What Moscow needs is re-
publican paper, one big enough and
broad enough to represent the whole
party. But an organ, edited ID by
politicians for politicians, even though
it be supported by their own funds,
will never be of any material benefit to
the party it pretends to represent. A
paper to be OF value to the public and
to a political party must be in a
position to represent public, rather
than private interests; to be in a
position to criticize when necessary.
But if the reports are true the sheet to
be edited by mere boy, whose news
paper experience is represented by a
cipher, is owned by two or three poll
ticians. And in this case these gen
tlemen will find that editors are not
born; that it takes years of practical
experience, and even that, unless
accompanied with an article known to
the medical profession asa backbone"
will not give the public anything
worth the while. Personally we have
no quarrel with Mr.. Fields. He is a
real nice boy. And with experience
may make great editor, but he isn't
that now. What he can do, and what
the promoters OF the organ intend that
he shall do, is to permit the publica-
ton of stuff he cannot possibly write,
to appear under his name as editor
of the paper. The News wants to see
the republican party keep right on
winning in this state; we hope TO see
the principles of republicanism triumph
in county and state affairs; and we
want to see a record made that will
give little comfort to democracy. But
that cannot be done by building up a
party machine in Latah county. It
cannot be accomplished by a sub
sidized press, by newspaper that dare
not criticize the public acts of party
officials. What surprises US is that
Congressman French is reported in the
deal In the name Of common
decency Of what earthly use will this
thing be to him? Of how much
weight will the support of paper
owned by himself be to himself? 1t
will be like trying to lift one by his
own bootstraps. 1t won't lift And
as long as there is a dollar Of French
money in this paper it will be a rock
around the neck Of our young con-
gresham. The same will be true with
Mr.. Munson and James H. Brady, the
south Idaho politician, for it is asserted
that they, too, have aided materially in
the financial side Of the deal, and
knowing that they even control the
new paper will spoil any good the
paper could possibly accomplish. It's
editorial opinions will lack weight; its
strength ruined, and instead Of bring
ing strength to the party will have
more the nature Of boil from which
the republican party will be glad to get
rid. The republican county officials
are not interested in this venture.

Juliaetta comes forward with the
suggestion that the county be bonded
for 100000 for the purpose of building
a fish hatchery and a summer resort at
that place. 1t is a good idea. Let us
bond the county up to the limit, say
$40, 100000, and while we are at it do
something for Kendrick and Potlatch
and Genesee, and also Princeton, Raw
sonville, Jansville and Nora. Let us
build fish ponds, skating Kinks, castles
and court houses. Let us bond for
enough to pay for a new barn on everv
ranch in the county; let new dwellings
be erected for the farmers and brick
blocks for the merchants. Let us, in
fact, mortgage the county for a million
years and have something doing, if
taxes go so high that we have to take
the lid off to keep from bursting things
wide open.

Being unable to get anywhere near
enough taxpayers to sign the petition
for the new court house to bring it to a
vote it is now proposed to have Judge
Steele call special grand jury and as
expected that this special grand jury
will look over the present court house
and condemn it. 1t is thus expected
to force the people into voting for a
ninety thousand dollar bond issue in
order that the town of Moscow NAV
have new building of suitable pro-
portions erected in the business section

it were not for the few public buildings
now under construction in Moscow

having the highest taxes of any town
in the whole world. Well, it is nice
to be noted for something after all.

In Whitman county the republican,
candidates have called the republican
editors lot of grafters, and the editors
are coming back with bunch of red
hot stuff that will make the Office
seekers wish they had never been
born. AS matter of fact the average
editor does not get enough out of
politics to pay for the ink it takes to
print the free pufs about the party
candidates, and besides that the editor
is expected to keep right on fighting
for his party after the campaign is over.
He must work for his party year in and
year out, and defend his party in order
that victory every two years is possible.
But if he asks for money he is a graft
er and a thief At least that is the
way they are putting it up to the Whit
man countv, Wash, editors.

One of the hopeful signs of the
times is the unmistakable evidence of
the growth of political independence
among the people. The idea that any
thing bearing the party stamp is good
enough is passing away for men have
come to look upon politics more and
more as business matter, and to place
greater value upon the personal fit
ness of candidates for public positions.
And this is right, for it makes for better
and cleaner public service. 1t also
has the effect of RELOCATING to the rear
the shysters and crooks. Where a few
years ago it was the rule to vote
straight, it is now popular to vote with
intelligent discrimination.

When you see fellow who never
has fat horses put it down that he is
either too lazy to properly care for
them or too stingy to give the poor
dumb brutes enough to eat. And you
will always find this sort of a fellow
kicking because he can't get more
work out of his team. With enough to
eat and drink, and only half way decent
treatment it is a poor horse that won't
keep fat and slick. And this reminds
US of another thing about horses. Too
often you see some brute working a
faithful old horse that is compelled to
labor with great raw sores upon his
shoulders and other parts of the body.
But suppose the man who insists on
working the horse had such a sore any
where upon his person! He would lay
around aid kick if the whole family
didn't wait upon him, and be fighting
mad if it should be suggested that he
ought to be out working.

The News has no patience with the
fellow who will pay more to some
stranger or outside fakir for an article
than he would be asked for the same
article by home merchant. 1t would
seem that common sense would in
dictate that the home merchant, when
possible, ought to be given pref
erence over the outsider The home
merchant, because he is responsible,
hesitates to misrepresent goods just to
make sale, and too often the out
slider gets the order because he will
tell anything nece ssary in order to get
the business. The home merchant
has to stay and face the music, and
make good if called upon to do so.
But with the other fellow it is different.
When it gets too hot he can move on,
and those who purchased on the rich
promises of the CRATER find it different
when it comes to the point of COM
ceiling him to make good"

The Lone stnr Of rern..

The origin Of the Lone Star Gag Of
the republic Of Texas is not entirely
clear. The claim has been made that
1t was unfurled In the present territory
of Louisiana in 1910, but other search
ers cannot find earlier trace of it than
the presentation of such n banner TO
the company Of Captain Andrew Rob
inson in May, 1885. Still another claim
is made for n flag unfurled at Yelasco
Jan. s, 1896. and said to have been
made by a Miss Troutman of Nashville,
Ga. One story has it that the star
came from the fact that Governor
Smith, for lack Of a seal, used a brass
button from his coat which bore a five
pointed star.-St. Louis Republic.

he inclosed in the rlnd of a grain of

easily, has been found to take 1900
verses upon one side and the same
number on the reverse. There you

The Word "cnPsIze.,

E~tymologists are driven to pure con-
lecture to explain the origin Of the
word "capsize." One Of them suspects
that 1t N from the Spanish Ian
guage, as so many sailors words do,
and may be connected with "cabe-
Gear" to nod the head in sleep or to
pitch as a ship, and with "capuzar I'm
baxel," to sink a ship by the head
"cabeza" meaning head. Another guess
based on the fact that 'capsize' is an
English dialect word for moving n
hogshead by turning 1t over alternate
ly on to its two heads-is that the word
lie simply cap" n head. and "~selze."
