Do We Like it?

There is an old couplet that
says what we dislike most, we are
apt to1embrace after we get done
hating it, and that seems to have
worked out in Blackfoot in regard
to dust. We become accustomed
to it and cease TO fight it.
Our teachers have observed
that it is next to impossible to get
a janitor in any of the schools to
remove the dust properly from
the furniture. 1t can be done
but the janitor does not do it. At
the churches it is frequently easy
to tell wat seats have been occu-
pied during the service, by no.
ticing whether the dust is on the
seats or off. Go to the Armory at
any time after the floor has been
swept and sit down on any seat,
and if your clothes are of the
color to show Gust you are brand
ed. AT the court room it is the
same way only more so. At the
fairgrounds in the grandstand it
is the limit. There is to be a
ball game there on the Fourth and
we have an idea that man will
be employed to sweep all the day
before; at least we hope SO. And
we hope for the appearance of
peoples clothes, that all who do
ian.tor work in our schools or
places of meeting will study the
how-to. do-it with a soft cloth, dill
gently applied until all the dust
is removed, and wthouts tanning
it up into the air to settle again
on the same place. 1t is easy to
do it right and Just as hard to do
it wrong.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT
STANDS BY HIS
PRESSED
VIEWS
In Declining to Talk Before
Illinois Manufacturers He
Says His Position is
Unchanged

Washington, D. c., April 1.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in declining the invita-
tion of the Illinois Manufacturers as
sociation to make an address at
Springfield next week on the railroad
and financial situation, wrote letter
to G. H. Smith, president OF the asso-
citation, explaining that such an ad-
dress from him at this time would be
useless, as his position was we'll under
stood and as he stands by his previous
sly expressed views.
Says Position Is Justified.
II The President outlines at length his
Bposition on the railroad and financial
squestion, by means of copious extracts
lfrom speeches he delivered at Raleigh,
IN. c.. and Washington in October and
| November, 1905. and from late mes
sages to congress. His position since
the time of his addresses ana mes
sages the President declares has been
amply justified by the course of events.
..It's wisdom is obvlo,1s," he adds,
s"and there is no occasion or reason for
amplif1cation at present"
3 AGAINST Government Ownership.
The President calls attention to his
belief that the government Should own
nothing which can properly be left IN
private hands, but that such regula-
tions should be exercised against the
railroads as to insure their operation IN
spirit of fairness to all concerned.
Whatever power the government
wields must be with wisdom, caution
} and self-restraint. The railroads, he
declares, must be protected from any
l public clamor, no matter how violent,
when the roads were in the right.
Sees Many Evils.
The President says railroad rates are
not as a. whole too high but that evils
that exisD-are due to unjust discrimina-
z finn, and this should be prevented by
law. The President outlines again his
well known views favoring effective
government supervision over corporate
Organizations, holding that any effort
4 to prevent all combination would be
i useless and vicious He also justifies
\ the new interstate commerce commits
Y sion law.
