THINK IT OVER


When Castro is dead sure to lose,
he wants to arbitrate and calls upon
President Roosevelt to throw him a life
preserver.
It seems a dangerous experiment to
marry a man who attempts to pay his
debts.
Every Lincoln dinner develops a new
Lincoln story This year at the New
York dinner, General Horace G. Porter
recalled the fact that 1t was Lincoln
who said 1t was losing game to I'M

No one Of the many stories told of
Lincoln excells the one often told of
the author who read his poems to Lin
coin first in their entirety and again
by request of the president who later
asked for third reading Of the choic-
est selections. and when he finally gave
his opinion said. well II a man likes

In your issue OF last night there is an
article which absolutely misapprehends
my sermon Of Sabbath morning.

know nothing about what he has been
preaching. I was asked by men on the
streets what I thought Of Jesus Christ
coming down here and uniting with
some church. I was asked on the
street what l thought OF any church
claiming to be the only one that is
based upon the Bible and denouncing
denominationalism, while itself being
the worst hide bound Of denominations.
These were questions asked me by citi-
zens OF Lewiston. I answered these
questions and now the pastor Of the
Christian church takes the matter to
himself and I cannot understand 1t. l
never mentioned him nor his church,
am sorry that any such feeling should
have arisen with him. II as he says In
his reply, 1t Is sin to belong to any
denomination, then hope he will sin
no more and disband his own at once,
but do not know that the printer has
rightly represented him in this. l do
not know that he does denounce all the
other churches as reported upon the
streets. l will not take up any re-
port against any Of my fellow minis
in, hut Z {V~lr hor a
right to reply to questions which citi-
zens of the place desire to have an
swered from this pulpit. and I beg to
inform brother Hubbell that l had no
right to aim that thing at him because
was not asked nor did ask about
anyone doing that. I am glad that we
all have a right to uphold whatever we
please and that he sees this. but I also
hold that have never said one word
nor will / ever say one word against
any other church in this place. hold
In high estimation the members Of all
churches and think they have right to
belong to each church to which they be-
long II they DO choose. nor has any
preacher any right whatever to claim
AZ being applied to himself what was
only said In explanation Of our stand
ing in relation to questions asked by
parties interested who want to know
what we think. think 4 would be
blasphemy for anyone to imagine that
Christ would come here and dabble in
our UNCONVENTIONAL differences, and ]
think It would be the most outrageous
brass for anyone to declare that their
denomination Is the nearest right ac-
cording to the Bible and all others
wrong. l never said nor will ever say
that any church or any preacher ever
has or ever does say that I do not

THE REAL WORK OF CONGRESS.

A great deal has been said In the
criticism of Congress because so many
measures are lost in the pigeon holes
OF the committee rooms and never see
the light Of day for a discussion on
their merits. But the real congress
is in the committee rooms and not on
the floors Of the house and senate and
experience has shown the members that
there is the place for discrimination,
otherwise deluge of bills would flood
both houses and nothing OF conse-
quence could be accomplished.
Speaker Cannon is authority for the
statement that already, exclusive Of
500. 100000 Of disbursements. some-
thing like $1,000 bills of all sorts and
descriptions have been introduced at
this session OF congress 1t takes 40
minutes to call the roll and record of
ayes and hayes Of the 3S6 members of
in arithmetic to show that allowing 8
hours to the day it would take 1850
working days, or just twice the length
of the representative term to take the
vote alone on all these bills.
II all Of these bills were read three
times 1t would require probable another
six years for the reading that makes
ten years. Then II any thing like an
adequate time for discussion were al
lowed at least another ten years would
be consumed in debate. A bill intro
duced In 1906 might come up in 1926.
while II the same rate Of accumula-
ton continued. a bill introduced In the
year 1910 could not be considered be-
fore the year 1000.
But In legislating for 90.000.00o peo-
pie some better plan must be advised,
hence the special committees and the
bills are read with tightening rapidi-
~ and referred to their appropriate
committees and parcelled out among
their members and those Of merit sep
arated from the freaks. Then the
real work OF combining. Topping of.
eliminating and boiling down begins
and the result Is the bin reported to
the house. This and not the speeches
delivered on the floor Is the real work
Of congress. And in the main it IL
well done.

Roasting the Short Line.
N. Tanner 4 Js,

A lot Of Americans from the Middle
States swarmed the Yellowstone Special
going south Monday night, and were
saying their share Of emphatic things
about the Short Line for not having
Pullman accommodations for them,
They had ordered berths by wire several
days ahead, and after riding sixty five
miles by stage they had to sit up in the
smoker and chair car all night. They
said they didn't come west to rough II.
They came to "see America and to
spend some money. and they did not
like the inadequate accommodations a
little bit.
We promised to build competing
line, but now that the campaign is warm
ing up we may not do it this summer.

Another Public Outrage.

Somebody has been scattering poison
about town lately for dogs with the re-
suit that dozen or so. have been poison.
ed. Some Of the dogs killed were well
bred and valuable. Some OF them were
useful and inoffensive that nobody could
have reason for wanting them out Of the
way except to crafty some low vicious
grudge against the owner. A similar
campaign Of dog poisoning was carried
on = year ago, when nice intelligent
watch dogs that seldom left the premises
except in company with some member
ofthe family, we're the victims. Insome
instances the poison was evidently car
ried TO the premises and given to the
dogs, and where antidotes were given
promptly to save them they were poison
ed again later
y Killing vicious or troublesome dog is
often justiiable, but this other is but
little short Of murder and public indig-
nation is wrought up to the point where
the guilty ones will be severely dealt
with when detected, as they are sure to
be if the practice is continued.

The firm Of Harris & Whitzel, nursery
men Of this place have sold out to w. a.

an agent on the road who collected mon
ey on orders and put it in his pocket.
They know nothing Of this until they
made their spring deliveries, but the
agent had received his commissions and
left.
Tn other instances he turned in, bogus
orders, on which they paid him cash
commission. They shipped the goods
to the parties, but could not find anyone
to receive them, and the trees had to be
sold at great sacrifice or lost altogether
This made great and irreparable loss
which forced them out Of business. II
took all their property to settle up with
the creditors and they went out looking
for employment. This is another ex.
ample Of how one man will ruin another

On the great stock ranges Of the
United States young animals running at
large without marks or brands, and
away from their dams are called 'smaver-
icks,' and ut various times and places
have, by common consent Of the stock
men. been disposed Of in different ways
, One way has been, when the owner Of
stock found such among his herds, to
put his brand on it under the presum-
tion that it was his. The custom doubt
less had its origin in an honest presump-
tion Of ownership but it has been abused
until it has, in some instances dwindled
into systematic stealing and, go where
you Will upon the great stock ranges
you may find men who are generally
known to have gone there with little or
no stock to commence with, but who, BY
systematic preying upon other peoples
herds under the guise Of "rustling ma
vericks'' have become well to do stock
men. In some instances men who have
neither stock nor ranges upon which to
feed them, but who live in towns have
gone onto them, and which they had no
right whatever to take, simply on the
grounds that they were not branded.
Some valuable colts and their dams, got
out Of their owners pasture, and within
only few hours Of getting away, and
while they were being pursued and were
simply feeding along road in a well set
tied farming district within few miles
Of Blackfoot, were 80 taken up with a
design Of appropriating them simply be-
cause the owner, who was raising them
for his for his own use and in his own
pastures did not wish to scar them with
brands. They doubtless thought they
had right to do SO, but the practice
should be stopped or some one will land
in the penitentiary.
