Estimating it at this stage of the
proceedings, we can say that the
verdict in the Haywood murder
trial at Boise, Idaho, will be 6
Scotch one-not proven. The
states case is based entirely upon
the confession of Harry Orchard,
and the defense is bringing in con-
tradiction to his testimony many
witnesses whom Orchard impli-
Gates in the. crimes he confesses to
and alleges that they were COM
mitted at the instigation of the
heads of the mine workers organi-
zation. 1t is not strange that
these witnesses deny Orchards
statements, the instincts of self
preservation, if the Iatter's evi
dence is true, would impel them to
deny any connection with Orchard.
But while we look forward to Hay
woods release, it does not mean
that the prosecution of this case
will be without results. In the fiji
ture life and property will be SAT
er where the miners federation
operates when that body goes out
on IL strike again.

Wants the Dog Tax.

Belgrade, Mo-, June IS, 1907.
EDITOR JOURNAL:
lam surprised at our Coun-
ty Court ignoring or excmpting
the dog tax. 1t seems they con-
slider or place more value on dog
than a sheep. A dog is one Of the
poorest pieces of property any
man can possess, and yet he is the
only animal, except IA cat, that is
not taxed; and he is one of the
greatest causes of loss to the farm
ers.
The time has come when one can
hardly raise sheep or goats at all
for the dogs, and there is no more
paying class of stock to the farm
ers than sheep. Of what valnc or
profit is the dog to any one? If a
man owns Il good dog and is able
to feed one at all be will pay dol
lar tax on him, but | am safe in
saying he will not pay on two or
three worthless ones and therefore
will rid the county of lot of
worthless dogs. And what it takes
to keep dog (unless you expect
him to live off your neighbor's
fock) you can keep pig or sheep.
The country is overdonc with dogs
now, and there is no occasion fol
keeping them, the game is nearly
extinct.
In my opinion it would be fal
more sensible to take the tax of
of sheep and goats and place it OF
dogs. How much of a revenu,
producer is the dog? The Cour
says WE cannot run without reve
hne, which we all know. Now tn
sheep and goats of this county ar
certainly of some value to tn
county and by the exemption o
the dog tax the court makes no ct
fort to assist in encouraging thi
industry, but on the other Aan
encourages the dog men. Is this
wise decision or good Judgment!
If all tire men that are now try
ing to raise sheep and goats wer
TO 90 into the dog business, an
dogs not taxed at all, how niue
would the assessed valuation of tn
county be! Now it is rather dis
couraging to man trying to rails
sheep when some night or day
sneaking cur slips into year foe
and kills fifty or sixty dollar
worth of sheep. 1t seems to N

merely the peril of steam and e!ec-
trlcity, and gasoline motors, perils
by land and perils of water, but
the dangers that confront us even
when we think we are following
the most hygienic laws of nature.
Exactly where we stand we know
not, for just us we have learned
from Mr.. Gladstone and ,Dr.
Fletcher that each mouthfnl of
food should he chewcd patiently
20 to $50 times, according to the
substance thereof, along comes DR..
Wiley and warns us against the
danger of too much chewing.
Rather should we bolt our food.
after the manner Of an intelligent
dog, for notably in the case of
meat much chewing is the fore
runner of serious indigestion. And
when we have mcekly accepted
this doctrine mp rises Il physician
fresh, and ruddy from his sixteen
days fast and tells Us not to eat ut
all, bat drink copiously Of spark
ling water, for eating is vile hab-
it, productive of many diseases of
the digestive organs.
Slili bewiIdercd. we are CON
strained to resort to cold bath,
which is much admired of certain
medical gentlemen. On the brink
of the tub Il Los Angeles expert
halts us and assures us that no.
body ever did enjoy IL cold bath,
and that, moreover, it is as dan
gerous as it is unpleasant. We
heat the water and again we 'arc

who warns us to forebear from
soap if we mast bathe, because,

the Anglo Saxon to resist disease
Even the fact that if we die we die
clean cannot entirely reconcile US
to the thought of premature de-

we go about our daily business or
seek in germ infested sheets the
sweet oblivion of all that makes
life one perpetual menace. AS
suming that we have slept three

wakes us up and assures us that in
excess of slu mber we are despoiI-

the development Of long and
