President Roosevelt has directed
that tie creation of forest reserves il
Idaho be indefinitely postponed. Thi:
is he direct result Of Senator Hey
burns work, and that too in the face
OF opposition from Idaho's democratic
senator, Mr.. Dubois. Isn't it about
time to elect to the U. S. Senate q
man who will work for Idaho? Dubois
has never been credit to his state,
and even after long term in Wash
ington has not the good sense or sufi-
cient influence to do his state any last
ing benefit.

HEPBURN DID TT

The Hepburn Pure Food bill passed
the senate by vote OF So to 4. And
1t is admitted that this is the most i'm
portant piece Of legislation passed by
the present congress. 1t was Hepburn
who did it. The passage Of the bill in
its present shape makes it unlawful to
sell or manufacture any article OF food,
drugs, medicines or liquors, which is
adulterated or misbranded, or which
contains any poisonous substance. Its
terms prohibit the introduction into
the United States or insular possessions
from foreign country Of foods, drugs
and liquors, which are impure or mis-
branded. The method of ascertaining
the purity Of foods, drugs, and liquors
both Of foreign and domestic manu-
iacture, is left to the Secretaries of
Agriculture, Treasury and Commerce
and Labor. They will prescribe uni
form rules for the manufacture of these
products, such examination to be made
by the Bureau Of Chemistry OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture. In case an
article is found upon examination to be
adulterated, notice is to be given
to the manufacturer, and a hearing
shall be arranged, and should it appear
that the law has been violated, the
Secretary Of Agriculture is at once to
certify the facts to the proper district
attorney, whose duty it is to immedi-
ately institute prosecution. One of
the most important provisions of the
bill is the provision that no dealer can
be convicted under the terms of the
bill, when he can produce a guarantee
nom the wholesaler or manufacturer
nom whom he purchased the goods,
that the goods were unadulterated or
not misbranded.

their revenue is raised from the run
ming Of saloon, then we would say
that the high and noble teachings Of
the order were become Astounding
brass and tinkling Cymbals,' and in
stead OF being an ore anization for the
diffusion Of charity, they have become
an organization for the propagation Of
misery. If the Elks Of Moscow are
running a saloon in their beautiful
home in Moscow, we reaffirm our arti-
Gle Of last week and we refuse to be-
lieve that any Of the men mentioned
in our article Of last week have any
knowledge that such a saloon exists,
and it is our firm conviction that the
saloon must be run and patronized by
members Of the order, who are violat-
ing their obligation TO the order and
their duty to the state. If the law is
violated by a church we believe that
public attention should be called to
the matter. If the Elks OF Moscow
are running a saloon then it is the duty
OF Brother Shaver and Brother Smith to
take up the matter in the lodge and in
their papers.
The editor Of the Troy News is not
an Elk, but he has been informed that
no saloon keeper can be admitted to the
order. We believe that if the matter
Of running saloon at the home OF the
Elks was taken up to the general gov
erniDg board Of the order that the
Moscow lodge would either be com
PEELED TO go out Of the saloon business
o forfeit their charter. Any organiza-
ton that violates the law under the
name Of Charity and Benevolence, for
feits its right to live. Let the mask
be withdrawn and the Moscow lodge
live up to its teachings. We believe
in the individual obeying the law, and
il we are to be called Col. Mann or
even Old Nick himself for the stand
the ed o: takes on these questions it
will not send US to an untimely grave,
nor will future generations look upon
us with shame and disgrace.

WE MEANT IT.

The Moscow Evening Journal in il:
last Saturday edition speaks Of the
editor OF the Troy News as Col. Mann
and all because we wrote an editorial
saying that we could not believe that
the most prominent citizens of Latah
county were connected with the run
ming ofa saloon and that saloon running
without paying the license required by
Law. II is not our desire to malign the
Character OF any Of the men mentioned
In our editorial Of last week, many of
whom are personal friends of the writer
nor is it our desire, in any way, TO re-
hect on the order OF Elks as a whole.
That the Elks are a great order and
that their basic principles are CHARITY
and Benevolence" is our firm convic-
ton. Good for the Elks, we saw. if
they can help the stranger, minister to
the sick, bury the dead, and educate
the orphan, but if they are living in
open violation Of the law, and par, Of

The statement in the Moscow Mir
ror, and published in the Review to
the effect that the commissioner pro.
ceedings were not printed in the
Troy News Office were ABSOLUTELY
false. The printing was done entirely
at The News Office. This statement
can be verified by several competent
witnesses. J. D. Jolly, formerly one
Of the proprietors Of the Moscow
Minor, did the press work on this lob
both weeks, and will verify the state
ment both as TO the work done and
number Of copies issued. We make
this statement in response to num-
erous inquiries from friends who have
volunteered all necessary assistance in
the event OF ossible litigation. If
our friends will read our editorial rela-
tive to this matter we think they will
get all desired information.

Although February is usually dull
month Troy merchants have enjoyed
fine trade and have no complaint tc
make. The fact that it really does
pay to Trade in Troy is responsible
for this condition, and the fact that
Troy merchants propose to hold the
towns reputation for low prices guar
antees continuation of good business.
AS the country around US develops and
population increases our town will grow
better and bigger. The future it GER
tainly bright enough.

NO PIPE DREAM.

Young men, we notice that you have
gotten hold OF one Of those stubby
pipes that turn downward and are put
ting in all Of your time sucking away
at it. Now we are no crank and we
don't care if you smoke your head off,
because its none OF our business, But
we wish to tell you that you don't look
near as manly as you think you do as
you stand on the corner and fill up
your pipe and proceed to puff out
clouds Of smoke. II merchant was
looking for boy to fill a good position
and should run across you staggering
down Main street, pipe in your mouth,
he would pass you up. You smoke
because you think it is smart, and not
because you enjoy it. In fact you
feel pretty bum at supper time after
keeping hot pipe in your mouth all
afternoon, don't your Don't tell US
you don't, for we have been there
ourselves. Your breath reeks of stale
tobacco and your teeth are black and
dirty, while your clothes are ready for
fumigation at all times. Isn't that
about the case2 Can you give us a
single reason why you should smoker
Can you see anything manly in keep
ing in such condition? No, OF course
you can't. Throw your pipe away and
wait until you have raised at least a
dozen whiskers on your face before
you become an old rotten pipe fend.
1t may be all right for an old man to
suck pipe all the time, but boy has
no business to do it. The boy who
does not smoke looks better, is better,
feels better and stands better than one
who is always sucking a dirty pipe.
Just ask the first dozen people you
meet and see if we are not right. -Ex.

SENSATIONAL SUIT.
Mrs. May Nelson Gress Seeks Divorce
From Her Husband.

Atlanta, August 3O.-(Special.) There
has just been filed in Fulton superior
court one of the most sensational di-
yoroe suits Atlanta has known in some
time. Mrs. May Nelson Gress brings suit
for absolute divorce from her husband,
G. V Gress, who was for many years
one of the most prominent lumbermen in
Georgia, and who is generally accredited
with having built up a large fortune in
the lumber milling business. Mr.. Gress
recently retired from active business and
is now living in New Jersey.
Mrs. Gress makes the usual statutory
charges and asserts that she can bring
forward as complete chain of evidence
as is required. She states that she and her
husband have been living in a state of
separation since January /. 1905, on ac-
count of these facts.
Mrs. Gress asks 5000 month temporary
alimony and $4,000 permanent alimony,
and in order to secure herself she has
asked the court for an injunction to pre-
vent the checking out of $4,000 now de-
posted in the Fourth National bank to
the credit of Mr.. Gress. a temporary in
junction has been granted by the court,
and the case has been set Tor hearing on
November 10 next. Mrs. Gress in her pc
tition alleges that Mr.. Gress is worth some
$500 0O0

WEAKLEY SUPPORTERS
ARE MORE ENCOURAGED

Election returns received last night
show little change in the results which
have heretofore been announced.
Interest in Birmingham centered in the
official count made of the vote in Jeffer-
son county. AS the result of this count
and of private advices received yesterday
and last night from various parts of the
state, the friends of Chief Justive S. d.
Weakley of Birmingham felt greatly en-
couraged over his prospects in the race
for the chief justiceship of the supreme
court with Judge Tyson.
The result in Jefferson shows that Judge
Weakley will have 81 out of the AZ dele
gates to the state convention from this
county. Such counties as Lauderdale and
Pickens where Judge Weakleys vote was
almost unanimous will swell the list of
his delegates materially and his friends
believe that when the official count for
the state is made there is a strong prob
ability that their favorite will go to the
convention with a majority of the dele
gates.
Yesterdays developments showed prao-
tically no change in the status of other
candidates for state office from the re-
suits already announced.
