where No Microbes Exist.

A traveller sat in the moonlight on
the lawn of a Florida resort. He had
dined we'll his coffee was on a little
table at his elbow and his cigar per-
fumed the soft mild air of the Febru-
airy evening with the aroma of excel
lent tobacco.
Near the traveller some young ladies,
gowns. played clock golf under a great
arch of electric lights.
Amid this charming scene the trav-
eler talked about the coming summer.
This is all right. he said, but give
me Zermatt. That is where am going
to spend the summer I Will spend the
summer 5000 feet up IN the air.
mo man knows what d summer is
until he has passed one high up on the
mountains. July and August, spent at
an altitude of 5000 or TO- 600 feet, are
two fleet months of heaven
How pure and delicate and sweet
the summer air is on those Alpine
heights. how tonic. how uplifting! And
the sunshine, the mile long shadows
of the mountains the brilliance and
bigness Of the stars, how amazingly
beautiful they are up there.
Files, gnats and mosquitoes? Not
one They can't live so high up. They
are never seen at such a height from
one years end to another. Microbes,
disease microbes, don't exist up there,
either. You can prove this with a piece
of raw meat You can throw piece of
raw meat out In the sun on an August
afternoon and, instead of rottine the
meat will dry At the months end it

IDAHO ON TRIAL.

The trial of Meyer and Haywood, for
the murder of Governor Steunenberg
of Idaho, has been postponed, and now
promises to begin. this month. So
sharply has the public eye been fixed
upon this complicated affair that we
fancy a fair trial will be. assured Ger
tainly if the forms of law are not COM
piled with, and if the substance of JUS
tice is not done, the country will know
of the failure, as plenty of frst-class
correspondents will watch the progress
of the trial The report of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor on this
case was extremely damaging to the
mine owners, practically accusing them
not only of lawlessness, but of con-
spiracy to fasten crime on labor
leaders by perjured testimony. In law
lessness perhaps there is not much to
choose between the owners and the
workmen, and at any rate the general
blame is not in question. It is never
wise in the long run to allow popular
emotion, local or general, to interior
with the course of Justice. The case of
the Chicago anarchists is now looked
upon rather widely by conservative
men as a gross wrong perpetrated tc
appease a multitude The Idaho anc
Colorado situation is notably different,
for if the miners are violent lot moth
ing better can be said for the owners
The outside world should insist sternly
on justice without regard to the rela-
tive sins of capital and labor 1t is {
pure matter Of law and evidence relat
!. ing to specific crime, and no consid
erations of sympathy or antipathy fol
either body concerned, should be allowed
the slightest weight. Idaho has tn,
opportunity to earn considerable credit
or immense disgrace. We in no de
gree PREJUDICE this case. 1t is com
plicated and remote. But there ar
circumstances which raise suspicion o
collision between the mine owners an,
the authorities, and Idaho owes it t
herself that this suspicion should be re
moved. Golfers Weekly, May 5.

UNMApE HISTORY.

The year 1850 was marked by an
acute crisis in wcsld politics, brought
on by the discovery that Great Bri-
tain's newest battleship was twenty
feet longer than Long Island, whereas
our coast Notifications had just been
rebuilt on the superstition that it was
ten feet shorter. Stocks instantly
tumbled to the loves. level in years.
The government at Washington sat
up all night, modifying the forces and
denying beef scandals. Ten million
troops were thrown into New York,
and 10000, 600 more were rnassed ON the
Canadian border, while eighty sever
horse doctors were made major gen
erals and given Independent commands.
The newspapers, with q restraint as
patriotic as it was unusual, printet
only the facts, and these in letters les:

Simultaneous with the announcement
that the Seven Devils addition to the
Weiser reserve had been made came
the decision of the federal court to, the
effect that rules and regulations of the
forestry bureau are null and void.
Blind fanatiacism has characterized
the acts of the forestry bureau ever
since it came to Idaho to repeal the
state and federal constitutions and set
up in this sovereign common wealth
form of government that was the sub
stance of absolutism.
The whole campaign of the forestry
bureau in Idaho has been a farce and
curse at the same time. 1t involved
the concentration of legislative, execu-
tive and judicial powers in one depart
ment of the executive branch of the
government. For unbridled nerve its
total disregard for the blood-bought
liberties of the American people stands
without a parallel in the country's
annals. 1t was an attempt to fasten
upon the citizens of a constitutional
government the rotten and abandoned
theories of despotism.
The end of it all is in sight. The peo-
pie of Idaho have been trained to obey
the laws of congress but they have
chafed under Pinchot's unlawful rule.
The unlawful rule will cease. Clifford
Pinchot will not give orders to the peo-
pie of Idaho any more. The surprising
thing about it is that any of his orders
have heen obeyed in the past.
In future the prospector who finds a
ledge of gold will not be governed by
the impudent mandates of specialized
bureau official on horseback, who tells
him that it's contrary to the "rules and
regulations" He will be governed by
the mining laws of Idaho and the
United States.
In future Clifford Pinchot will not
draw anywhere on idaho soil deadline
beyond which the horses and cattle of
citizen may not go. The citizen will
regard the. fences of his neighbors and
nothing else.
In future the homesteader who goes
to the. mountains for timber for his
cabin will not be apprehensive least he
cut a tree seven inches in diameter
when a gentleman in Washington
office fixed the limit at six. He will
point to the stars and stripes and tell
the forest ranger to be gone.
Forest reserves are of admitted value
as conducted in Europe. They have
come to stay in the United States and
ultimately, will be conducted, not so as
to interfere with the liberty of the
people and paralyze industry, but con-
sistent with the one and for the pro-
motion Of the other
Wise, indeed, was the men who said
Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" That great truth will never
wear out. 1t is an easy matter to lose
little of liberty but very difficult tt
regain it.
The errors in the "rules and regula
tions" of the forestry bureau-errors
amounting to crime against liberty-is
not alone that they are harsh and un
reasonable, but that they were devised
and enforced without warrant of law. =

EX-MAYOR WILLIAM BELCHER. mayor answered that he had not been out of the country except for a short time after he went away. He had fled to Canada fin the first place, he said, but had soon returned to the United States and had remained there since. Recently he had been in New York city, he said. but the whole time he was there he was in constant fear that he would run across some Pater- son men.
 Belcher asked that bis intimate friend and counsel, William Barbour, be sent for, and he also expressed wish that his brOther-in-law be notified of his return. He had SIT 40 in his possession when examined.
 Belcher's embezzlements amounted to about $150.000. The Manchester Building and Loan association, of which he was president, was wrecked by his operations. George w.

AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE.

Any work that is a constaS strain on the back is bound to hurt the kid neys. The lifting, digging and plant ing of farm work, the constant bend ing over a desk or sitting at sewing machine, working for hours on jarring. 1olting wagons or railroad trains; the stopped positions and the reaching, pulling and heavy lifting of hundred different trades-all these are hard on the back and must wear, weaken and injre the kidneys, because the kid neys are in the very part of the back that feels the strain. When the kid neys are sick. every exertion sends a sharp, stinging pain through the back or loins, and you are weary and tired all the time.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thou sands of working men and women- have given them strong backs for their daily work. Doan's Kidney Pills help the kidneys to do their duty-to elim- mate the liquid poisons from the blood and to send pure. health giving blood to the muscles and organs. We would sincerely advise every man or woman whose work is hard on the back to take an occasional dose of Deans Kid ney Pills. It will keep the kidneys we'll and the back strong. and keeping the kidneys well is half the task of keeping the body well.
