of the question, IL DIR. Scallon is
elected gambling will be suppressed,
the saloons will have to conduct them
selves In an orderly manner and nc.
cording to law. He will not permit
charges to be made of young girls
being furnished liquor at the back
doors of saloons without investigat-
ing the matter. Any saloon keeper
permitting anything of that kind would
find himself without license in short
order. Here lie an unequivocal dec
laration for the enforcement of the
laws against gambling and against
selling liquors to girls or minors and
for Sunday closing. 1t is as positive
and outspoken as any declaration Of
Varnam or his supporters, who ask
for the enforcement of the laws.
Following this effort to deceive the
mothers and fathers of Occur d'Alene
and hull their suspicious until after

other side of the question and throws
out this sop to the saloon men-we
quote 1t literally because it is playing
the role of DIR. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde

ment closed up tight and although he
Is strict churOhman he would not
conceive II to be his duty to spend
his time on Sundays making the
rounds to see that the ST nday closing
law was strictly enforced and that the
town was shut up like a bottle. But
any one who has any experience
knows that In a city made up as this
Is, 1t Is absolutely impossible to
strictly inforce a Sunday closing law.
The better class of saloon keepers
will obey the law, while the others
would Systematically evade them and
the result would be that the lowest
calss Of saloons would continue to
furnish liquor on Sunday and there
would be more drinking and lawless,

The statements are as plain con

not spend his Sundays seeing that

"oivil War; and ..RebclliOn.,s

"C1V11 War; ana SRebC1l4OMs~
The term "civil war; as an authori.
tative designation for the conflict of
1861-66 is a growth, the same as that
Of the war of the rebellion" In his
first call for troops, April ID, 1851,
President Lincoln designated the arm
ed opponents Of his administration as
combinations too powerful to be sup
pressed by the ordinary course" but in
bis address to the governors Of states
asking for militia he cited the act Of
congress empowering the executive to
suppress instructions, repel lnva-
siOns," etc. But on the 10th Of April
his proclamation of blockade declared
> state OF '1nsurrection against the
government Of the United States" in
certain southern states. From the start
the Confederates were called rebels"
by the northern people, but as some of
the southern senators said in the re-
cent debate over this question, they
gloried In Il among themselves, bark
ing back to Americas first rebels"
the enemies Of King George.
Frank Moore was probably the first
TO popularize the word rebellion" as
applied to the great conflict by the pub
lication of his Rebellion Record"
which appeared In instaIIments and
was the earliest attempt to make a
popular history of the war. Govern.
ment publications bore the chief or
subtitle War Of the Rebellion" Pub
lie libraries and historical writer's
adopted this term without premedIta-
ton solely In order to distinguish the
war in question from the earlier wars
OF the republic.
On the other hand, the Count Of
Paris, who as a European historian
looked at the matter from the outside
naturally adopted for his work the
title History Of the Civil War In
America" not even limiting his DER
spective to the United States. He
treated OF the Confederate states as
separate nation at war with the United
States. But long before Lincoln used
the immortal phrase with malice To
ward none and with charity for an"
the designations rebels ana '.rsbal-
lion" were seen by the northerners
themselves. to be a misft, and they
fingered In public documents only az a
matter OF custom. The great mass
would not understand the meaning Of
the civil war" Some time ago this
term was used for the first time In an
ctncial document Of the government
and was widely commented upon as an
innovation that might well have come
earlier. The f. slings that engendsred
the strife have long since ceased Ia
throb; hence the simplest name te

allied themselves with the Democratic
party six years ago, there has been an
enort among certain ones to force
them out, On every occasion they
have been given to understand that

De Almonds speeches drip vitriol,

IN spite of his exceptional

desires, Gautier was dreamer,
strayed into the midst Of a restless,
civilization which rush

him under foot, while he, uncon-
scious of the fact, made no COM

exclaimed, and we, his friends, knew
what depths of unspoken suffering
we're compressed into that cry. He
lived in a world OF dreams far away,

fashioned hound was the subject of

to be the best dog after coons in the

trial it developed that the dog be-
longed to a widow residing in the
neighborhood. and the justice gave
the custody of the dog to the widow
and assessed a fine against each OF
the litigants in the sum of $40,
They paid the fine, and the justice
gave it to the widow. She then said
that either of the litigants could

COLD FEET.
-h;s Trouble is Due TO Defective Cir

Many persons are seldom really

except perhaps IN midsummer.
Their feet are ALWAYS cold, not only
during the day, but also at night,

" tbs condition we often find
chl,lains-not so frequently in this
country as in England, yet often
enough to warrant a few words re-
rarlng their prevention and cure.
persistently cold feet are due to
deceive circulation. There is a
lax Of tone in the blood vessels or
weakness in the contractile force
OF he heart, which results in semi
stsgnation in the outlying parts OF
The body. The sufferer from cold
fe, usually has cold hands as well
anl is in danger Of having his ears
frostbitten on stinging cold day If
he does not keep them well rubbed
or IlbAttltt W col iiibNS.
one who is troubled with this
condition should have the feet well
protected by stout shoes with thick
tocs. which will keep out the mois-
tu-e. and if the feet have been wet
there should be no delay in changing
shoes and stockings on returning
home Overshoes may be worn on
cod and snowy days, but rubbers
should be avoided, except the kind
that cover only the soles OF the

fary. since waterproof soles are un-
fortunately seldom found on the
orilnTry shoe.
Better. however, than protecting
tie feet by extra covering is treat.
ment directed to improving the To-
cal and general circulation. The
best local treatment is by means Of
water. Night and morning the feet
should be immersed in hot water
for a minute, then plunged into cold
water-the colder the better-kept

long time-a year or two if neces-
sary. until the tone of the vessels
is restored.
As the condition is one Of faulty
general circulation, general treat
ment should also be instituted. In

constitute danger signal. The suf-

to become consumptiye. Fatty foods

"That excuse is about as poor as
the one a criminal lawyer offered

hard with him. ,

this lawyer eloquently, remember
that my client is hard OF hearing,
