FORAKER CALLS A HALT.

s'While conceding the right OF
everybody else to differ from me,
1 deny the right of anybody else
except my constituents to call me
to account. I wilt not submit to
the dictation, or threats, or
menaces of any kind of any boss,
big or little, inside the state or
outside the state"
In these strong words Senator
Foraker, ofOhio, has served notice
on the President that he proposes
to exercise his own right OF judg-
ment and action, as the representa-
tive Of the people of Ohio, without
dictation from the White House.
The welding Of no big stick,
Foraker practically stated, would
force him into supporting pres1
Dental n easnres unless they com
mended themselves to his Iudg.
ment as the representative OF Ohio.
1t is gratifying 10 find lone Re
publican Senator who has the man
hood to assert his right as a sena-
tor to think for himselfand act for
himself and not sink into mere
poll parrot for the White House
boss.
The public has, in a measure,
endorsed the efforts of the presi.
dent to force legislation through
Congress, without realizing the
danger that ensues from such in
reference in the functions of the
legislative body of the nation Con
ceding that the acts which have
been forced through congress un-
der theats of executive displeasure
have been good acts, and for the
best interests of the public, the
fact still remains that the pre-.
cedents thus established form a
distinct menace to the system of
government under which this
country operates. Byi such usur-
pations of power on the part of
the chief executive more and more
authority becomes vested in the
presidents hands, until at last,
unless the tendency is checked, he
will become yeritable czar,
dominating every department of
the government, and we come face
to face with one man power at
Washington.
Senators and representatives are
responsible to the people, not to
the president. If they fail to per"
form their duties acceptably to the
people it is but a short time before
the people can remove them. Far
better that legislation should come
slowly than that the president
should be allowed to become q
dictator of the law making bodies,
as well as the executive officer Of
the nation.

THE OLD, OLD, STORY.

"He preached the old, old, story
and was listened to with intense
attention"
This is the statement that is
made OF a recent sermon in Colum-
bus. A visiting clergyman held
the pulpit, there was a large con-
gregation, he preached the story
of Christ crucified, and there was
not a wandering mind, or listless
eye.
'"The old, old story" How little
do we hear of it from the pulpit
OF to-day. How often do we hear
discourses in which tits never even
referred to.
Sociological sermons we have in
abundance. The sermon on the
topic of the hour is always with us.
The latest novel, the most recent
play, the sensation of the day, all
these furnish the text for sermons,
generally sensational in treatment
and effect, all calculated, ifnot in
tended to advertise the clergyman
delivering them and draw the
crowd to his church.
Such ministers are referred to in
the press as popular" Reporters
are sent to hear them, in Mondays
papers they monopolize the space
given to religious matters. They
furnish what the newspapers
denominate "good stuff" Gener-
ally speaking they wear broad
cloth, take European trips, and live
off the fat of the land.
But after all, it is the man who
breaches the sold, old story" who
keeps alive the Christian faith.
He is the minister to whom one
turns IN the hour of trouble and
distress for advice and consolation,
1t is to him the dying send to hear
once more the cold, old story, 1.-THE
story that never lost its power
and never will as long as man has
spiritual side to his nature. When
the valley of the shadow of death
is at hand it is net the preacher
who has occupied the most space
in the newspapers through the
handling of popular topics in a.
popular way" who-is wanted at
the bed side. And at the grave
there is not the same balm for the
sorely wounded heart in the words
that he utters as in the tenderly
expressed sympathy of the man
whose life work was the telling of
the cold, old story
The old, old story" After all
that is what the world wants to-
day. And if the theological
seminaries, and the conferences,
and presbyteries, and other great
conventions of the clergy and the
iaity, would but impress this fact
upon the pulpit, if the pulpit would
but realize more than it seems to
do that story is still the only vital
part of their faith, that men have
never yet wearied of hearing it
when told by men of sublime faith,
ehen perhaps the churches of the
land would take on new life, there
would be no necessity for discus
sions as to why people do not attend
services, and it would be said, as
it was said of Christ:
"And the people heard him

POLITICAL SPIES.
They Are Quite Common All Over the
Continent of Europe.

They Are Quite Common All Over thu
Continent Of Europe.
On the continent of Europe it Is quite
a common thing for royal personages
to be subjected to espionage, mainly,
OF course. for political reasons.
In France, Spain, Russia, Germany
and Austria the practice obtains. At
one time during the reign of Napoleon
III. small army OF political spies was
engaged In watching royal subjects. In
fact, the vigilance of the different par
ties was 80 great that there were three
or four distinct secret services. The
emperor had his; the empress had hers:
the government and the republicans
respectively had theiFs-ali employed
to watch the other parties and their
spies.
Moreover. Bismarck had bis spy over
the emperor. So that France was over
ridden by spies, the most important,
however, being BIsmarck's, to whom
the war was indeed to great extent
due.
This secret service agent was a Ger
man doctor, whose advice the unfortu-
nate emperor even preferred to that Of
his own court physicians, and thus
Bismarck knew even better than Ma
poleon the real state of the latter's
health, which was, Of course, very
important factor in the political situa-
ton at those times.-Pearson's Weekly.

Owing to the unscrupulous advertis-

impression existing in regard to Cream
Of Tartar when used as baking powder.
Cream of Tartar is not made from
grapes direct as the Trusts" baking
powder companies would have you un-
derstand, but comes from the dregs
and the scrapings Of wine vats where
the sediments congeals in Crystal form
having passed through chemical re-
action of fermentation.
When this semi-mineral substance
known as Cream of Tartar is made up
into baking powder and is subjected
to the heat of the oven and the aka
line condition of the dough, it under
goes a complete chemical change and
and an analysis of the sediment has
been Proven time and again to be moth
ing less than pure Rochelle Salts, an
irritant drug, prescribed by physicians
as a purgative, and when used as q
baking powder for leavening pur-
poses, it produces a constant anc
weakening drain on the system.

Slot Machines.

The noted slot machine case OF J. B.

suit in replevin appealed from Ada
county, was decided by the supreme
court last week in favor of the sheriff.
1t arose over the seizure of some slot
machines which the owners sought to
replevin. The court decided several
other points, the most important being
the following:
''Replevin will not lie to recover
gambling devices known as slot ma
chines,' the same being incapable OF
use for any purpose except in violation
Of the anti gambling law. (Act Feb.

A Big Increase

Few people have any idea OF the re-
markable increase in the amount OF
money given away each year in prizes
bv the Spokane Interstate Fair. In
1901 the total prize list did not amount
to more than 1000 outside Of the race
purses, while this year the prize list,
exclusive of race money, amounts to a
little more than $4,000. There is
no reason why the ranchers in the In
land Empire should not claim the
the greater part Of this sum OF money,
and thew can do so easily if they will
enter their products. No section in
the entire Northwest raises better fruit
grain or live stock.
The increase In the fruit and grain
prizes is particularly noticeable, and il
tbe ranchers of this section would pay
more attention to exhibiting grain anc
making more careful selection Of seed
grain. we believe it would result in
great increase not only in the quality
Of the crop, but in the quantity.
Full information in regard to the
prizes offered by the Spokane Inter
state Fair, and also the race program
for 1907 , is contained in a 112-pagt
book. which has just been published.
This will be mailed entirely free o
