the inference is be kept where he is
to carry his policies to fruition, policies
the country approves and nobody ex-
cept him can execute.
Friends of the president are just
now emphasizing a declaration that there
is to be no pause in the investigation
of Hartman and other railroad mag
mates; that there has not been the slight
est change in the presidents attitude to-
wards corporations or railroads; that
reports sent out from Wall street that
he will modify his position are merely
stock-jobbing speculations.
ATTITUDE OF HIS TRENDS"
"The friends of the President have
found out somehow and are retailing
theinteresting information that the pres
ident has been going after the corpo-
rations and railroad wrong-doers, de-
spite the fact that he himself is owner
of certain bonds concerned, notably Of
the Minneapolis, ST. Paul & Manitoba
railroad, which were presented to him
by an uncle about 25 years ago. The
president, "his friends" say, is stock
holder in perhaps a dozen different rail-
roads; that he owns stock in the Union
Pacific, but has never hesitated to spurn
fear of the loss of dividends because
his action might be construed into at
tacking any vested interest.
The friends" just from the White
House incidentally and eloquently OBJ
serve that there was never a man in ex
alted position so careless as to material
wealth as far as heis personally to be
involved, and that his one consuming
desire is to leave great name for his
family.
The friends" declare in conclusion
of such particular givings-out that they
cannot help being convinced that in
stead of altering his attitude with ref
erence to the great corporations and
modern finance, that Mr.. Roosevelt is
more determined than ever to press his
idea of government control; that he will
not hesitate; that he has lost no occas-
ion to warn all the great capitalists
calling upon him that if his policy was
not adopted and acquiesced in by the
corporations, they would sooner or later
be subjected to far more rigorous and
radical treatment at the hands of the ma
tional government; that thus he has laid
down his law to H. H. Rogers, J. Pier
pont Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan, E. H.
Hartman and Suyvesant Fish.
And the noise like a candidate for
president goes on day by day and far
into the night, as the friends" just from
the White House best know.
The Boise citizen. (Boise, Idaho) 1906-1910, 1907-03-01

Organized effort will be needed to give
Boise the full benefit of the railroad to
be built by the Hartman interests
throughout central eastern Oregon this
year. Money for branch banks, business
houses and other enterprises must be
forthcoming and then with daily train
service and proper freight rates Boise's
trade will be extended for 100 miles be-
yond Ontario Portland is already en-
tering the field; there is no time for
delay.

ought to irrigate9 fairly the whole sur
face of the land, and its waters should
circulate in abundance wherever men
contribute their volume. Instead of this
we find it damned up in certain places
far beyond all reasonable requirements,
and at other points there are stretches
of undeserved desert from which every
drop has been drawn
Some months ago l walked up Fifth
avenue wit ha man who is prominent in
finance and innocent of any subversive
ideas. do you know who lives in that
house?" he asked, indicating a handsome
residence. NO." was my answer "His
name is Blank Did you ever heal. it
before?" Never" "Well, he's worth
forty millions" A few rods further on
he repeated the same question with ref
erence to another house, whose owner
had never heard of, and who was
the possessor of twenty-five millions.
And still third time he put in a similar
question and obtained the same answer.
81 don't know what we're coming to !"
he added Every week l am hearing
the names of these men, utterly unknown
to me, who are worth twenty, thirty,
forty, and fifty millionsp And in cor
roboration of this l may say that | saw
the death of millionaire in one of our
cities mentioned incidentally in the pa
pers, some time ago-a man whose name
was altogether new to me-who was said
to have left an estate of one hundred

Just little bit like unhealthy congestion,
in a country, too, where the number OF
paupers and tramps is continually in
creasing? We call in the surgeon when
the circulation of human being swells
up in places like this. Is it a more
wholesome symptom in the body polite?
The immense accumulations of wat
cred stock" in our telegraph, telephone,
and express companies show how much
more we have to pay for their services
than they are worth, and if it were pos
sible to ascertain the original cost Of
our railroads the same thing would ap-
pear with reference to them. The rail
roads obtain one-t tenth of their gross
earnings from extortionate mail con-
tracts with the government. Why? Be
cause the senate is there to prevent any
interference with the railway, express,
telegraph, and telephone monopilies.
Our senators could at single ses-
sion break up the steel trust by reducing
the tariff, the express trust by establish !
ing a parcel-post, the telegraph and tel
ephone trusts by adding these analogous
services to the postolhce They could
thus go a great way toward diverting
the flow of wealth from the pockets
of the people into those of the monopo-
lists. Why don't they do it? Because
they are the servants, not of the people,
but of the monopolies. Away with the

VILLAGE MAY LOSE
 MRS. SAGE'S GIFT
Board of Education of Long Island Town Opposes Making Up Sub-
 scription.

Sag Ha1bor, L. l.. Feb. 23.--1n-
 withdraw an offer recently made to
 contribute $50,000 toward the cost
 of a new high school building for
 the village unless the citizens vote
 for a bond Issue of S60, ,O00, a cir
 cular has been issued by the village
 Board of Education. Certain resi-
 dents are opposed to the issuance of bonds, and to the building of a school which will cost large
 amount o1 money. The question wifi be decided i1l d public meeting to be held next Friday night.
 Condemned by the school author ities of the state as unfit for use, the present high school building
 will soon nave to be replaced. The new structure, if Mrs. Sage's con- tribution holds, and the citizens vote for bond issue, will be known
 as the Pierson High School, after Abraham Pierson, an ancestor of Mrs. Sage, first president of Yale University, and member of an old family in Southampton.
 Estimates were recently obtained by tn1 Board of Education, and the lowest bid was $115,00O.
 Mrs. Sage has already given to the village $2.Z00 for site for the school She was particular at that
 time to say that this amount was not to be considered as part of the
 $5O,UO0. It is understod that she expects her money will be used for
 the buii1ing of an ornate and com modious structure and that the vil- lage will raise the balance needed.
 Her interest in the village dates back several years.
 In addition to the contribution
 made by Mrs. Sage, the village has received a subscription of $1,OOO from Jas. H. Aldrich of New York. The old school site and building will realize, it is estimated, $1 900.

 declares that he has held con- munication with the spirit of the late Dr. Richard IIodgson. for many years his coworker in psychical research, have brought the subject of spiritual ism to the front again.
 pr. Hyslop does not claim to be a spiritualist in the sense commonly ap- piled to the term. He calls himself rather q spiritist. "A spiritist," he ex- plains lis one who believes that under favorable circumstances we can re- ceive communications from deceased persons" while he defines a spiritual ist as one "whO is popularly known tc accept all sorts of psychical phenomena and alleged communications which can not be verified by science" Dr. Hys- lop himself, who used to be professor of logic and ethics in Columbia univer- sity, is scientific investigator and claims not to be easily imposed upon. A few years ago Dr. Hyslop an- nounced his desire to establish ill New Yor!; city, where he lives, an institute for t.la study of "spiritism"-tha is, fer sc ientitic investigation into the pos si.iity of communication with the el iri.; of persons who have passed through the process which we cal, death He is still working along this line and hopes to arouse wide interest in this kind of investigation, which has fascinated some persons in every age of history.
 Whether the dead live again is still the question of the ages. It is this mighty question which Dr. Hyslop hopes to solve. ia his own belief he has solved it afirmatively He be lieves that he has held communication with deceased persons through living person., commonly known as mediums but in the vocabulary of the spiritist called tights

 Dr. Hyslop asserts that recently Mrs. I'ipsr wrete messages which un- ,nistakably came from thea fate Dr. Hof1gson. ln these communications the spirit of the departed psychical TO, seacher is said to have discussed with Dr. Hyslop the publication of colp- plete report of the Piper revelations pi the past and the reorganization of tifa Society For Psychical Research. both of which topics had been discussed ls the two men prior to the death of Df; Kodgson, which occurred about foufs teen months ago. ..ss Y,
 These Piper revelations. it: is said; fill several thousand pages. They com, prise communication purporting to come from various persons who have died. Dr. Hyslop believes that they advance indisputahle evidence of the continued existence of the individual
 with individual consciousness and memory. after tie process of physica' dissolution through which all persons must pass. Dr. Edward A. SpitZk',
 demonstrator of anatomy in Columbi;; university and an alienist of some dis
 tinction, takes issue with Dr. Hyslol, and states his ideas on the subject 'g this manner:
 "Stories of communication with the departed originate with either of two classes-frauds or the hypnOtically in, sane and dreamers. The police should deal with the former. while the latter. by common consent, belong to the care of the alienist."
 Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage, for many years a prominent Unitarian minister in Boston and New York and g.: CO worker with Drs. Hodgson and Hyslop in psychical research, was committed recently to sanitarium In Ohio.
