John D. Rockefeller has at last been
found and served with subpoena that
will bring him into court and make him
testify. Mr.. Rockefeller is no better
than any other citizen, and ought to be
given to understand that he is not
above the law. Insead Of imposing a
none, fine, when such men are found
guilty Of violating the law, they should
be locked up in Jail, and when this is
done these fine old rascals will quit
violating the law.

Something like ten thousand envel-
opes. each bearing on the outside a
short but pointed boost for Troy, will
be sent out by Troy business men
during the next three months. There
is determination among the citizens
of Troy to put shoulder to the wheel
and push their town to the front just as
rapidly as possible. And this spirit,
this earnest determination to build up
the town, will do a great deal to make
Troy grow, and keep it the best town

Oregon has law which provides fol
imprisonment of men from 80 days to
one year for failure to provide for their
families. While so confined the men
may be made TO work on the rock pile,
roads or works of public improvement
at the wage OF $3.50 a day and the
money thus earned may be given to the
prisoners family, at the discretion Of
the court. We opine Idaho would do
well to pass similar law as there are
plenty of men in this state who would
come under its provision nicely.-Cam-

CALLED THEM THIEVES

No man has ever lived who did not
occasionally make a mistake, and pos
sibly sometime wrong another. But 1t
has ever been recognized as the honor
able thing to undo wrong, so TAR as
possible, when once the proof OF such
a wrong is forthcoming. Under mis-
taken idea one man may call another
a liar OF a thief, or say some other hard
things, but in no case will he who is a
man, he who possesses the first princi-
pies of honor, manhood or decency
sneak off withcat an apology where
the truth shows that the accuser was in
error. You may wrong a fellow man
but when once shown that you are
mistaken you will, if possessed OF those
principles which go to make up man,
loose no time in making known
your mistake. And this is the honor
able thing for every man to do, and
the thing every honorable man will
do. Now, let us recall the recent
campaign. There was fellow named
A. B. Towne, nice, genteel fellow,
with a soft, pleasing voice, who always
went well dressed, and flattered him
self on his rather fetching ways. All
OF this is very well, for it tended to
give Mr.. Towne the appearance of
man Of some weight. And really no
one would have accused him Of being
dishonest man. Mr.. Towne wanted
to go to the state senate, and he want
ed the republicans to nominate his wife
to the position of county school super
intendent. How much more he want
ed there is no record, but il is known
that he wanted at least that much.
Like some others ne didn't get just all
he wanted. Then he made discovery.
He found that the people were not
equally taxed and laid the blame all on
the shoulders OF Axel P. Ramstedt, the
county auditor, and then went all over
Latah county telling the people that
A. P. Ramstedt was theft. He said
the county funds were short, and then
charged the republican party Of Latah
county with knowing this and with
an effort to cover up the dishonest
work Of Mr.. Ramstedt and others. Mr..
Towne went further and accused Com
missioners Lamb, Anderson and Pick
ering with being party to this dis
graceful and vicious policy. Mr..
Towne, himself a republican, went
before the people and urged them to
defeat the republican party. Demand
ed an investigation of the county
records and charged that unless the
fusionists were elected no such in
vestigaton would ever be made. Now,
in all candor, in all honesty, and with
all due regard 10 Mr.. Towne as a citi-
zen, let US ask Latah county voters
wether OF not Mr.. Towne was right or
wrong. The fusionists were not elect
ed, but the records of the county were
investigated. The investigation was
complete, and the results proved I'M
questionsbly that Mr.. Towne was mis-
taken. But he had made these charg-
es. Having the most positive evil
dence Of his error did he proceed to
undo, as far as he could, his wrong?
Not that anyone has ever heard Of,
but has, like the jackal, sneaked away
from the gaze of men he dare
not face. And we think he will lay
low until he thinks the people of Latah
county have forgotten all about it.

The News ventures the prediction
that the town Of Deary will never be
anything more than small shipping
station, Of no importance as business
point whatever. 1t takes something
to make town and the place called
Deary hasn't one OF the first requisites.
Even the desires to build up a city at
some chosen spot cannot make a city.
1t requires the right geographical loca-
ton. Deary is lacking in every essen
tial. 1t will not equal Avon, and as
compared with Bovill will look like the
proverbial thirty cents.

A BAD RECORD.

The attempt Of the Western FEEDER
alton OF Miners to show a clean record
will hardly be taken with much weight
by these who have ever lived in any OF
the mining camps where this organiza-
ton was in existence. Those who
dared TO oppose il in any way, or even
those who did nothing except mind
their own business and let the union
alone were insulted and abused, and in
too many cases slugged or murdered.
The Western Federation now says il
has been an organization worthy the
respect of all men. Has it? Ask
those who have had the misfortune to
have incurred its displeasure. Even
ask those whom the Western FEEDER
alton could not induce to join and to
come within its Jurisdiction. The
record is too plain. In too many
places and at too many times here in
our own state has this organization
either committed crimes or shielded
those guilty of crimes. And in not
one single instance can the Western
Federation show that it ever did any
thing but reward those members who
were the most vicious and the most
criminal. Never did it do aught but
encourage crime, and that occasionally
so openly that it was matter of com
men knowledge. This organization
always kept its walking delegates, its

1t has been said, generations ago,
that a mans garden is an index of the

have been truthfully said that the

things make an impressions on the
travelling public that materially effects

Surprise TO the Office Boy.

In n certain large and busy Office
down town there are FIVE telephone
booths and II takes good deal of the
time OF one Office boy TO answer the
many calls. During rush hours, in
deed, these calls are almost ncessant,
and when the duty OF attending to
them was assigned TO new boy the
other day he got into trouble right
away. Before answering n call he
learned that the party ut the other end
was the wife of one Of the members
OF the firm. He called this member
out Of his office ana told him his wife
wanted TO speak to him on the phone.

many OF the tariff schedules are too
high, aud therefore detrimental TO the

TRAIN SERVICE.

Citizens OF Mineral Point who are
taking thought Of the hearing before
the railroad commission In regard to
the need OF improved train service be-
tween Mineral Point and Milwaukee
are concerned about one important
phase OF the matter. While they are,
of course, desirous OF getting the
best possible service to Milwaukee,
they want nothing done that will inn
pair the present train service to
Chicago. The demands OF the com
plant made to the commission are In
many respects reasonable; but to the
mind OF The Democrat, they are In
some respects unreasonable, rs for
instance the following:
"That no later than March OF the them
coming year. three passenger trains daily be
run along this line, oil being through trains
TO Milwaukee, or carrying through coaches
TO Milwaukee, and that ono OF said trains
carry II parlor car from one OF the western
terminals through and return"
There Is no demand from the people
of Mineral Point for more than two
passenger trains day. There has
been no request for such service from
here to Chicago, while the passenger
traffic from towns along this division
Is twice as great to Chicago as 1t Is to
Milwaukee, and the freight tonnage Is
many times greater. There should be
no discrimination, and trade be per-
mitted to take it's natural course. De-
mands to be reasonable should be for
good passenger service to and from
all points. 1t Is n fact that the pres
ent service IL more favorable to Mil
waukee than Chicago. The changes
that are needed Is to have our evening
train arrive at $3.50, rs formerly, and

When II comes to big propositions
the Social Democrats are the fellows
to carry off the honors so far. No
scheme seems too stupendous for these
drcamcrs on the golden age to be.
Government ownership OF railroads,
postal savings banks, exclusion Of the
Japanese, and an international peace
parliament are among the few re-
quests they wish the legislature TO ask
of congress, while their schemes Of
state control of almost everything are
most elaborate. Were II not that their
authors are not taken seriously these
measures would he regarded ms most
significant. Perhaps the most unkind
pass made ut tie corporations so far
this session is that by one of the mem.
