SENSATION At BOISE.
Reporters Interviewed Orchard-court
Scores Them.

Reporters Interviewed orehard-court
Scores Them.
Judge Fremont Wood, who is presid-
ing at the Steunenberg murder trial at
Boise. directed the prosecuting attor-
ney of Ada county to make an investi-
cation of the circumstances under
which Harry Orchard was interviewed
for publication and to take any legal
steps that his inquiry showed to be
warranted. Judge Wood drew atten-
ton to the publication of the interview
when he assembled the bench this
morning and his request of counsel for
advice as to the manner in which the
court should deal with the incident,
brought from the defense the charge
that Governor Gooding and certain
newspapers, moved by the disclosure
that there exists prejudice against
Orchard, had sought to influence the
jury by an attempt to bolster up the
credence that may be given to Or
chard's story, and the suggestion that
Governor Gooding be cited for con-
tempt.
Attorney Makes Report.
Prosecuting Attorney Koeisch has
completed his investigation of the cir
cumstances under which Harry Or
chard, principal witness for the state
in the Steunenberg case, was inter-
viewed and presented the district court
with a report generating from the
charge of improper motives all persons
connected with the incident. He found
that the only motive that the news
paper men had in interviewing Orch
ard was to obtain news Of him. In an
nouncing the report Judge Wood said
that it called for no action, and direct
ed that 1t be filed.

4 Most Pathetic Little Figure.

The most pathetic figure in all this
world to-day, TO our way of thinking, is
that of little Prince Alexis. heir to the
crown Of all the Russias, prospective
head of the royal house Of Romanoff
and imperial guardan-to-be of the an
cieut orthodox MusCOyite Greek Church.
Some day unless d revolution come to
his fathers empire, this little prince Will
be ear, king, grand duke several of
them. in fact, and-oh, we'll he will bear
titles innumerable. wear crosses and dec
orations without end, head orders Of
knighthood by the dozen, and all Of that
sort of trimming. trapping, and insignia
that goes along with royalty.
AT present. he is just little boy

when he would enjoy climbing a tsee and

that isn't proper In any little boy. Doubt

his little boy might romp and play and
grow up like other little boys and become
in time a manly man, loved, honored,
and respected by his ueighbors and
friends and free from all the weighty

and power,
But this is not 10 be for little Alexis,

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER is. 1907.
A Movement on New Lines.

The present movement for tariff re-
vision differs from former movements to-
ward the same end in that it proceeds not
from reformatory ideaHsm. but from the
practical conviction OF captains OF in
dustry that the time has come when it
viii be 20 our material advantage TO re-
cast the Dingley schedules. Secretary
Taft recognized this fact when. in his
Columbus speech, he planted himself on
the platform OF the American AssOcia-
ton OF Manufacturers, a body which adj
vocates tariff revision for purely bust
ness reasons. A similar view is taken
Of tariff revision by President Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia University.
who thus presents the tsrin situation:
The time has come when the Diugley tariff has
got % be revised In the interest Of business itself
and not In any an attack on business or as
4 disturbance 10 business. Il seems TO me clear
that the vast majority Of the people Of the country
Of all parties virtually accept the protectionst prn
eip!e. but financial and commercial DEVELOPMENTS of
the last decade make il necessary TO face without
delay revision Of the existing tariff and this rryl
sion not 70 be uEas some people are insane enough
% supDose-but down"
President Butler adds to these reasons
for revision the further one that the col
lection OF surplus revenue at a time
when every dollar is needed in the chan
nels Of trade is Unstatesmanlike and IN
economic. AS this surplus revenue comes
largely from tariff taxes, the logical
remedy for the surplus is a reduction OF
those taxes.
Henry NJ Whitney, who is making a
campaign for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination in Massachusetts on a
tariff-revisiOn platform, stands for q
moderate measure of tariff reduction.
He attributes the failure Of the Demo-
cratic party TO achieve tariff reform TO
the apprehensions aroused that if was
going further than was advisable, and in
spite Of adverse criticism. Mr.. Whitney
holds to the belief that II IS better TO
attempt a practical revision. that will
commend itself TO business men gener-
ally, than 10 engage in doctrinaire as
saults on the protective principle. His
tari1 platform. while more definite in
detail than that Of Mr.. Taft. is sub
stantially that Of the Secretary Of War,
namely, mat protection should be based
on the difference between the labor cost
Of American and foreign production.
Il Is apparent from these and other
utterances Of public men Of both parties
that there is no likelihood that the pro-
tective principle, reasonably applied, will
be an object Of attack in the next Presi-
Dental campaign. The subject Of tariff
revision is being dealt with, in current
discussion, from an eminently practical
standpoint. and the ancient catchwords,
'Impractcable free trade" and the ruin
Of American industry" viii have mighty
little weight in a campaign where Re
publican manufacturers Join hand with
Democratic protectionists in demanding
that the tariff be readjusted 70 the re-
Quirements of industrial and commercial
expansion.

With the setting Of the sun to-day will
end the Hebraic penitential season. which
has lasted ten days. and which is the be-
ginning of the New Year To-day IS
known as Yom Kippur. the Day of Atone
ment. and IL is observed by all orthodox
Hebrews with fasting and with prayer.
Besides being a day Of atonement. il IS
with the Jews a day Of reckoning. The
people take thought of their sins. confess
them, and seek reconciliation with God.
They also seek 10 adjust matters with
their fellow-men; Quarrels are made up;

and, so far as possible, after Yom Kippur
the Hebrew starts out on the New Year
at peace with heaven and the world.
The persistence Of this HebraIc custom
which has been handed down from gen
GRAFTON TO generation since the time Of
the children Of Israel Is, or should be. a
reminder 10 the Christian world Of the
enormous debt IL owes to the Jew. It is
not too much 10 say that on the shreds Of
civilization which the Jewish people
brought with them out Of Egypt the land
all our Wanted civilization Of to-day. On
the law which Moses handed down from
Mount Sinai the Romans founded their
civil law. which, in effect, after having
been used by Great Britain and modified
to modern conditions. is our law to-day
Thousands Of years have passed The
chosen people" disrupted as d nation,
have been set apart; denied a voice
in council. held alOof from citizen
ships; prosecuted, tortured, robbed, But
in the establishment OF Anglo-Saxon
civilization they found a refuge and an
opportunity for the display of qualities so
persistent and enduring that centuries Of
wrong and oppression have not suficed
to destroy them. And to-day, in America,
the Jew finds equal opportunity and the
fullest freedom, and has become q marked
factor in the life Of the republic.
And We who have learned so much
from the Hebrews, when We see this cere-
mony OF Yom Kippur observed by the
orthodox Jews with all its ancient So
lemnity. might we'll learn a lesson from
H. Our Christmas season, with its good
cheer and good will toward men. approx
mates it closely. but we hardly use It as
a time of reckoning. There should be
such 4 time-a time when we could take
stock Of ourselves as the Jews 90. when
We could forsake our petty enmitIes, pay
up our debts Of good will and friendship,
and start of with clean hearts on the
way that yet remains.

Goats in Europe.

1t is said that a quarter OF a century
ago there We're on the continent Of Eu-
rope 100000 goats, those In Switzerland
and Norway being In the ratio Of one TO
every fourteen and sixteen inhabitants.
Swiss goat-keepers have long had the en-
couragement of the state in developing
the milking powers Of their flocks TO the
utmost degree, and in France, too, intelll-
gent interest is being taken in goat-keep-
ing. During The last twenty-five years or
so the keeping OF goats has very gener-
ally increased, their milk being considered
valuable product, and yet no exact re-
turns have been made on the subject,
even IN England, where the agricultural
census makes no mention Of the industry.
The late Lady Burdett-COutts was for
many years president Of the goat society
in England, and many other influential
people have befriended the goat in Great
Britain. The membership Of the goat So
ciety is growing right along, and the ex-
hibits Of goats at dairy and agricultural
shows nowadays is rather imposing The
use Of milk from "the poor mans COW"
among the poorer classes is said 10 have
excellent effect from a hygienic point Of
view u IS for this reason that phiIan-
thropists recommend its use as an article
Of diet.
