A GENERALIZATION.

paigns may occur in the dominant
political parties in Kentucky, there
is at least one question on which
H there seems to be much of agree.
ment, both as to results accom-
plished and anticipated.
The last Legislature passed the
Cammack County Unit Bill, the
most pronounced advance in tenn
perance legislation foryears. This
bill received the hearty support of
some members of both parties.
Some opposed it. We are thank
full for what each party did and
regret that any member of either
party saw tit to oppose the meas
ure. Public sentiment has been
aroused, consciences have heen
quickened, Indifference has chang
ed to earnest effort, and today the
enforcement and extension of the
County Unit law is advocated by
the Democratic and Republican
standard bearers. AS is well
known the Democratic candidates
for State Offices were nominated
by primary election without a
formal declaration of principles
and intentions through platform,
but their leader, the candidate for
Governor. ). w. Hager, in a pub
lie letter, says:
II heartily approve the action
of the last Democratic General
Assembly in passing the County
Unit law, and will favor such de-
velopment of said law as will fully
meet the demands of the people of
the Commonwealth" In this he
is said to voice the sentiment of
other candidates with him on the
ticket. They will no doubt, in
lue time, fully express themselves
The Republicans in State Con-
yention adopted a platform and
selected their candidates. We
print that platform on last page.
section 8 of the platform reads:
I'VE favor the enactment and
enforcement of a uniform local OPP
ton law, with the county as the
governing unit"
Thus is briefly set forth the dec
aration of both parties; one
through its leader, the other
through its platform.
We now ask that the representa-
lives of these parties be credited
With sincerity, truthfulness and
intent to secure for Kentucky the
greatest good that may result
from the enactment and enforce
ment of temperance laws.
Let there be no unkind insinua-
tiOns, or hasty suspicious, or par
Cisan antagOnisms, or selfish eXal-
tatiOns as to what either party. has
or has not done or may or may
not do in the redemption of our
fellOwmen, for whom Christ died,
from the temptations and slavery
Of the liquor habit.
Let us ALL TOGETHER rejoice at
what has been accomplished: let
Democrats and Republicans with
united heart and hand, pray and
labor for the freedom of our State
from curse more dishOnOring
than my slavery that has blighted
American society.
This is a measure that merits the
approval of PATRIOTS, of MEN. We

rong. The Address of Welcome
was by Hon. Hugh Riddell, of Ir1s
vine. 1t was historical in style
and well said. The response was
by w. b. Haldeman, of Louisville,
in his pleasing manner. He paid
an eloquent tribute to Judge Rob
ert Riddell, who has for many
y,ars been a constant wearer OF
j Idicial ermine, and has kept it
free from stain. The Association
then adjourned until Tuesday
morning.
The Springs are kept by L. G.
and j. f. Riddell, men of expars-
ence, and who know how to keep
springs hotel perfectly. The usual
complaint of few cranks in large
assembly like this was unheard.
The service, the fare, the rooms
were perfect, contributing to the ),
JOY and comfort of the guests.X
The buildings are situated at t. e
base of mountain, woodland
unsurpassed for its natural beauty,
while beds of flowers decorate the
handsome and well-kept yards. 1t
has been truly said The hotel and
cottages are models of comfort al ID
cleanliness. EstilI Springs well
deserves her fame, awarded from
merit. Here pleasure seekers find
that which contributes most to
their joys; the weary and worn
from long business confinement
find rest; the sick a panacea for
their ills: the old and infirm are
returned to youth; the student and
the delving scholar finds food for
fertile brain. y
In the party were j. w. Hedden
and wife, Miss Bruce Chiles, Of
this city, and Miss Cyphie Kern,
of Paris, with them.
In comparing the scenery about
Estill Springs and that along the
Kentucky River valley, it was de-
cided to be favorable to that of the
Hudson River. 1t is reality
surprising the dreamer of the Alps.
Oar party is wishing for many
happy returns.
The Presidents address was of
fine meat and was thoroughly en-
joyed, and Tim Needham's poem
was real juice. .1..-..,

Our best men were present and
made many valuable contributions.
The reception Monday evening
was followed by music and dane

evening, banquet. Thos. G. In

grand, and would have been cred

The Association has taken steps
looking to supplying of wood for
pulp used in the manufacture of

made to establish firm that will
furnish stock at a more reasonable
price than the present figures.
A committee was appointed
whose business it will be to bring
matters of vital Importance both
t. the press and the people gener-

This was great meeting, right
down to business; not a drop of
liquor with any of the members.
We expect beneficial results from

Engineer Frank Dean, of the Clear
water passenger train, had been to
Lewiston Sunday to have work done
on his engine and passed the Kamiah
depot at 1905 o'clock. There was no
light in the depot office and Mr.. Dean
went behind the depot building to get

DELMAS MAKES
MASTERY PLEA
Noted Lawyer Speaks In
Defense of BOOdler
Glass

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-No
auditorium of Temple Israel this
morning, when Attorney Delmas, the
foremost orator of California, began
the closing argument in defense of
Louis Glass.
In the large audience were many
women as we'll as men. Society folk
and attorneys and jurors maneuvered
against each other for favored seats
and a half dozen deputies were acting
as bailiffs and all had their hands full
guarding from incursion the places
set aside for the newspaper men.
The gist of Delmas' argument this
morning was that the prosecution was
undertaking to secure the conviction of
Glass, was practically upon the unsub-
stantial word of one man, DR.. Boxton,
who confessed to having perjured him.
self during the custer of Langdon in
cident because the administrator want
ed it.
Delmas contended that If Boxton did
this in one case, there was no reason
to believe he has not repeated his per-
jury.
"The only person to corroborate
Boxton," the advocate continued, rs
his wife, who by corroborating her
husband could save him from felon's
cell while by contradicting him she
would send him to the states prison.
Delmas made minute and master
full arraignment of the circumstantial
evidence built up by the prosecution
and a somewhat bitter review of the
process of illumination" by what the
state sought to show that Glass was

KARL HAU WILL
MAKE APPEAL
Remarkable Case Will Be
Carried to a Higher
Court

BERLIN, July 26.-Karl Hau, who
was sentenced to death in Karlsruhe
for the murder of his mother-in-law,
Frau Moliter, at an early hour this
morning, announced that he would en-
ter an appeal in few days. The ex-
citement is subsiding. Disorder at the
courthouse last night ended when the
people were driven into nearby streets.
Several arrests were made, but the
prisoners were all discharged today.
The women of the Moliter family
were badly frightened by the mob and
remained in the courthouse until noon
today, when they were taken in car
riages to the railroad station under
an escort of police.
The verdict did not come as a sur
prise to the friends of Hau. In view
of the great mass Of circumstantial
evidence and the admission by Hau of
throwing away his overcoat. no other
verdict was expected.
The people are still reading every
scrap Of information about the case
that the newspapers can rake up, and
the papers throughout the country
have started lively discussion Of the
features of the case, which they de-
clare is the most remarkable murder
case in SO years.
Hau's appeal against the sentence of
death will be prepared at once and
presented to the supreme court. This
court can only decide technical ques-
tions affecting the procedure Of the
trial just held. II errors are found
the case will be remanded to Karls-
ruhe for retrial. II will be some days
before the decision OF the suprems
court is made known.

GREAT CROWDS HEAR
SENATOR BORAH
Court House Is Filled and Hundreds Hang
Outside at Open WindOw---Brilliant
OratOriCal Effort

BOISE, July 26.-By z o'clock this
warming a hundred persons besieged
the doors of the court room to hear
senaor Borah continue his argument in
bebalf of the state. So great was the
tbrong, that the court officials and
others having business at the trial
were compelled to secure admittance
in various ways. Most Of them climb
ed the steep improvised stairway in the
rear The jury also were brought UP in
this way. The majority Of the seats
were occupied by attorneys who have
come from: many cities Of the West to
hear the final argument.
Mrs. Haywood. the invalid wife of
the prisoner was in her accustomed
place, the prisoners mother sat next
to Mrs Haywood and with the family
was also his sister and one of his
daughters. Mrs. Steunenberg and her
son, Julian, were early in the court
room. When the last seats of the court
room were occupied, disappointed hum
dreds took up positions on the lawn to
hear what they could of Borah's ad-
dress. as the words filtered out the
window.
Borah began by going briefly over
what he called the trail of blood left
by Orchard. He asserted that "One
Of the most absurd of many absurd
things" brought into the case by the
counsel for the defense is the accusa-
ton that the Pinkertons engineered
Governor Stenenberg's assassination.
The senator contended that the i'm
pelling force behind Orchard came
from Denver
He declared the murdered came from
there fresh from association with the
officers of the Western Federation of
Miners. Marion Moor, an officer of the
federation. helped Orchard to deceive
Mrs. orchard, when Orchard meant to
desert her. Pettibone helped Orchard
to pack his utensils of murder in his
trunk.

mot here to deny it? His silence is a
confession of guilt. Pettibone's alb
sence is an absolute corroboration of
Orchards story"
Then from out the testimony of the
witnesses for the defense alone, pick
Ing 1t out from the mass of mixed ma

MAKE STUDY OF
indian LIFE
Harvard Man Has Gathered
Interesting Data From
Nez PerceS

H. J. Spinden, of Harvard univer-
sity. will leave for the coast tonight
after spending five weeks studying the
language customs and primitive art of
the Nez Perce Indians.
"The stay here has been a most
pleasant one,'' said Mr.. Spinden, this
morning.
I'VE have been successful in secur-
ing quite complete vocabulary of the
Nez Perce tribe and have secured much
valuable information relative to the old
customs, now known only to the aged
men and women of the tribe.
There is an old Indian mythology
preserved in the memory Of the oldest
Indians that is most interesting, but is
little known among the younger gen.
Grafton. There are incidents of the old
belief, however, that appear in the
stories told by the young Indians and
frequently are found in the original
composition of the students at the In
dian schools. W
"The Indian paintings on the upper
! Clearwater and at Granite Point on the
| Snake river have been destroyed by
the blastings for the railroads, but at
Buffalo Rock are to be seen the paint
ed history Of the mystic buffalo dance
and other incidents In the early ages of
the Neg Perce tribe. The old men OF
today say the painting was done to
make pretty story and was at the
point where the Indians crossed the
Snake river in their pilgrimages be-
tween the waflowa and Clearwater
country"
Mr.. Spinden has also secured quite 9
collection Of primitive Indian art and
regards the visit to the Lewiston coun.
try as highly profitable.

BANK OPPOSES
ASSESSMEN!
First National Nay Take
Tax Controversy Into
Court

The council has authorized subpoenas
to be issued for the directors of the
First National bank directing them to
appear before the council with their
books at IL: 80 o'clock July 81, at which
time they will be asked to show cause
why the city taxes should not be levied
according to the assessment made by
the city assessor.
The action of the council is the re-
suit of a notice served upon City Con-
troller Nickerson by John P. Vollmer,
president of the First National bank, in
which he stated he would withdraw
his proposition to pay taxes upon $685.

even with the little that remained to
be selected to find good lands to fill the
quotas.
Even If the government gave us lieu
land script for our lands within the
forest reserves" said Mr. Guheen,
there is no place in the state that we
could fill the quota and get lands that
would be worth the minimum price of
$40 per acre."
Mr.. Guheen said that the state had
been singularly helped by the desert
land acts and had been enabled to re-
deem state lands in the irrigated dis
tricts and dispose of them at a fair
valuation. The state has had not only
school iands, but selected lands that
have come into market by reason of the
fact that lands are being redeemed
under the Carey act.
"The business of state lands is
growing very rapidly, said Mr.. Gu
heen. "and the state really needs a land
commission made up of officials sepa-
rate from the state officials. The whole
problem of leasing, selling, conveying,
listing and seggregating comes on Off

The defendants were notified today
of the charges filed against them in
Lewiston yesterday by former Marshal
Cornwell and will go to Lewiston to-
night to answer to the complaints.
There is a rumor current here that
the proceedings commenced by Mr..

confined largely to the saloon men, but
positive statements have been made
that Cornwell has demanded certain
