The Man Behind the PIow.

just thought in recognition of a fell
low who seldom gets into the news
paper.
He doesn't make much news. He
knows mighty little about the city
ways of making money. He has fine
liking for clean financial methods and a
hearty scorn for all that is crooked.
Perhaps 1t is his manner of living that
makes him want to be honest.
Let that man see problem play. one
Of these things that serve to satisfy the
jaded appetites of metropolitan people,
and you'll find a splash of red on his
tanned cheek aud he will wonder how
it is possible for women to be present
Tell him about bribery and stock job
bling and franchise stealing, and few
of the Thousand forms of gouging the
public and you win jar his faith in the
natural goodness OF humanity.
Just now this type of good American
citizen is following glow. 1t is hard
work. 1t puts big ache in the back
and callous on the hands 1t destroys
the complexion. 1t calls for brown
overalls and PRECIPITATION. The man is
happy in his work. He whistles as he
trudges along in the furrow. He clucks
to the horses and finds Joy in the free
dom of his life. He doesn't go into
raptures over green fields and singing
brook and songs of birds. They are a
part of his environment. They are
routine. but he loves them just the
same.
He has an enormous burden on his
broad shoulders. He feeds the world
He is the brother of life itself He tolls
long hours. His primary object in
working in his own welfare.
But he makes the world. He makes
existence possible. He is the head of
procession in which are marching the
doctor, the lawyer. the banker, the
idler. He is the foundation of wealth
and prosperity. He is the creditor of
humanity.
1t is well to remember with CRATE
fulness this man in overalls, who fol
lows the plow and whistles as the
brown earth reveals its richness and
prepares to bring forth the fruits of the
field. Moscow Mirror;

The anti, Gooding element in the
republican party has been indus
trlous searching the mountains and
valleys of Idaho for the past six
months for a suitable man to bring
out in opposition to the governor at
the convention. That they have at
last found Moses whom they hope
will lead them out of the wilderness,
is evidenced by the fact that Herman
J. Rossi, Mayor of Wallace, has
s'agreed to acceed to the earnest de-
mands of his friends and enter the
fight for the nomination" Mr..
Rossi has been prominent man in
the Occur d'Alene for a number of
years, but Is little known through
out the southern part of the state.
What strength he will develop, re.
mains to be seen, but if he proves
acceptable to the entire anti Gooding
element, 1t is quite likely that he
will 60 into the convention with a
strong following.

To U. 5. Supreme Court

The attorneys defending Haywood,
Meyer and Pettibone, the Western
Federation of Miners officials, have
secured writ of error from the chief
justice of the supreme court of the
state and will go before the United
States supreme court at Washington.
The attorneys originally asked for a
writ OF habeas corpus for the three &C.
cused officers, contending that their
extradition from Colorado was illegal
and virtually kidnapping. The applica.
ton was denied. Accordingly they APP
piled to Chief Justice Stocksiager for
a writ of error and the motion was
grBnted.
II this writ of habaas corpus is
granted by the federal court it will
force Idaho to give up the three pris.
oners and permit them to return to
their resident city.

What does 1T profit a man to
gather about him riches, gam for
himself a great name and seat In
the nations highest legislative body,
and then as he is approaching the
sunset of life to lose his prestige,
his fair name, and be looked upon
by the world as an outcast? This
is practically the condition in
Chauncey Depew of New York,
finds himself today. He has lost
everything but his wealth-even his
young wife, who, only few months
ago, promised to love, honor and
cherish him through llfe-has de-
serted him. He has no influence,
whatever, in the U. S. senate. In
fact, he Is ashamed to longer occupy
his seat in that August legislative
body. His friends have deserted
him and he could not again be elec-
ted to the most humble position
within the gift of the people of his
state. A few years ago Chauncey
Depew was considered as one of the
nations brightest, most honorable
and upright citizens, but his greed
for wealth caused him to stray from
the path of honesty and rectitude,
and in the space of very short time
he has lost that which is worth more
to him than all the riches he has
attained.

The postoffice department has
drawn the lines very closely
against admission through the mails
of papers or periodicals containing
any advertisement in the nature of
lottery, games of chance, or even
the advertisements of merchants
which offer chance on any article
with the purchase of goods, but
nothing is said against the use of
the mails by the Appeal to Reason,
which Is weekly sending out sedi-
tious and reasonable literature by
the millions of copies.
Every week since the arrest of
the Federation official in connection
with the Steunenberg murder the
utterances of that paper have been
such as would tend to incite men to
take up arms against the govern
ment, in case those men are con-
victed by the courts. No other
government, in the world would
even permit such reasonable stuff to
be printed, much less permit it to
go through the mails. The Appeal
to Reason has perfect right to de-
fend the cause The Federation lead

all who will be connected with the

are found guilty. We hold that it
is time Uncle Sam was putting a
stop to the circulation OF such
reasonable literature.

In the early days Of the west, post
offices were usually kept in any old

to distribution in private boxes; every

Excellent Home Treatment for
Consumption and Throat
Troubles. :.>

The camps for tuberculous patients
in the pine forest of Maine, establish
ed by DR.. A. N. Wallace. Of Philadel-
,phia, have demonstrated new and
wonderfully successful phase in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases. DR..
Wallace's treatment has gained almost
universal recognition among the medi
cal profession and he has been deluged
with inquiries from afflicted people in
all parts of the country.
In an interview recently by New
York newspaper representative, DR..
Wallace gave out some information
that will prove of immense value to
the public in general.
He said that the remarkable stimu-
lating effect on the respiratory organs
by the rcsinous atmosphere Of the pine
forest has long been matter Of inter
est to the medical world and that doe
tors in general would have long since
awaited themselves of the great cura-
tive merits Of the pine sap had they
been able to obtain it's active princi-
pies freed from the many deleterious
matters with which it is associated by
nature. The extracting of the medici-
nal properties of pine has been one of
DR.. Wallace s great achievements while
at work in the forest camps and he
has produced what is known to the
medlcal fraternity as concentrated Oil
Of Pine. DR.. Wallace stated that if
this preparation be used in connection
with plenty of out door exercise and
the habit of taking deep, long breaths
every few minutes, patients will have
all the advantages of the pine forest
camps right at their own homes and
the most effective remedy obtainable
for any case Of lung trouble that. is
not too far advanced and cure for
any cough that is durable. The re-
porter also procured the formula that
DR.. Wallace is now prescribing. It is
the following: One-half ounce concen-
trated Oil Of Pine; two ounces of gly-,
cerine; eight ounces Of good whiskey.
It should be shaken thoroly and taken
in tablespoon doses every four hours.
The ingredients can be procured
from any well stocked prescription
druggist. Care should be taken to Sc
cure only the concentrated Oil Of Pine
which comes put up for me dicinal use
in half ounce walls and inclosed in
small round wooden cases which pro-
tects it from heat and light. The Or
binary cheap Oil of Pine IS useless Sow-
ing to the foreign matter that itg con :,
talns and the quantity that would. be
necessary; it only produces nausea and
fails in specific results.
The concentrated Oil Of Pine has also
proven a most effcacious remedy when
taken raw for rheumatism and disorder
OF the urinary passages. For this pur-
. pose few drops taken on sugar night
and morning.. will bring Immediate re-
/ lief, especially in cases Of uric acid
rheumatism and lunlba GO.
