GOV. GooDlNG SCORED
Accused by Court of Undue Zeal in
Steunenberg Case.

Boise, Idaho, May lS.-Gov. Good
ing, of Idaho, was theoretically repri-
manded by Judge Fremont Wood yes
terday and scathingly denounced by
Clarence barrow and E. II. Richard
son, attorneys for w. D. Haywood,
for too much executive zeal in prose
cutting the three miners accused of
numbering Frank Steunenberg. The
Idaho Daily Statesman, the organ of
the administration and the publicity
bureau for the prosecution, came in
for condemnation by the court and
the defense, and was mildly criticised
by the prosecuting attorney.
Gov. Gooding, the Associated
Press, the New York Sun and New
ork Times correspondents, who had
supplied the Statesman with signed
articles, clarifying Harry Orchard,
the confessed assassin, we're scored for
ooloring their reports to rehabilitate
Orchard in the minds of the people
of this community.
For several days jurors have sworn
uhhe ohcy "ouiu give bo CieueuCt W
Orchards testimony, and as be is the
chief witness for the state, this presage
failure of the case if the j ury was
composed of men who share the senti-
ment of their neighbors. The defense
charged that Gov. Gooding exhibited
Orchard and permitted him to talk
'maudlin religious idiocy' for the sole
purpose of influencing jurors in favor
of the prosecution.
County Attorney Kloesch was sum-
moned to court by Judge Wood and
ordered to investigate the action of
the governor in placing Orchard on
exhibition and to probe the effect of
the articles published in the States
man and signed by the New York
Times and New York SIM correspond
ents. The prosecuting attorney was
directed to proceed against all of these
men in the same manner that he had
begun prosecuting w. N. Yost, So
cialist, who Intercepted Juror Wag-
goner after hs had been drawn to try
this case.

STATE COLLEGE PLANS
SEVERAL MODEL FARMS

Pullman, May lS.-The state COL
lege, department of agriculture has
under advisement the establishment of
demonstration farms" in different
sections of the state, where dairying,
hog raising, farming under irrigation,
may be demonstrated to those inter
ested. Prof. Elliott has taken up the
organization of this work in accord
ance with numerous suggestions from
prominent farmers and commercial
clubs of Washington. The following
is from communication from the
Commercial Club of Rosalia, which
reveals the plan:
"The plan would be to secure eighty
acres of land. place modern farm
buildings ON it and get an Eastern
man of education and hustle TO carry
along diversified farming and be guild
ed by your Judgment rs to what is
best in this climate and soil. We do
not want local farmers advice and op-
in ons. Our business interests will
back the enterprise from an educational
hho cNpciihcu otuudp oiut. We dicO
want to get truck farmer from the
vicinity of one of the large cities to farm
ten acres. We believe it better TO have
an Eastern man than a "native," as
the latter would not do the farming
as we should desire it to be done"
"We expect to establish THE work, "
said Prof. Elliott, somewhat as sug-
gested in the above letter. We will
endeagor to establish 'demonstrative
farms in such parts of the state as
may be necessary to touch each of
the varied farming interests, and each
farm will be in Charge of an expert,
the experiment station retaining a
general supervision over the work.
"On the west side we hope to estsb-
lish demonstration farms for dairying,
farming under irrigation, hog raising,
and wish very much to establish a
cattle breeding station. We hope
TO have about dozen of these farms
scattered throughout the state, several
to be conducted with especial refer
ence to the truck gardening possibili-
ties near the large cities, such as Spo-
kane, Tacoma and Seattle"

1t is probably among the working
people today that, relatively to their
means, the greatest amount of extraya-
gance and recklessness az TO the flu

the smaller towns that liz the shops

tic!es are largely sold, and ilnery In
dress is a passion. 1t has DeeI found
by observation of the girls who work
in mills and factories that the largest
part Of their wages goes to useless
adornment: Indeed many of them say
that their purpose in working at all is
in order to get money for line bats and
clothes. With proper education from
childhood, such state OF things would
be impossible. When they come 10

What is needed is. while making al
