The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-11-21

Every newspaper publisher most
sincerely hopes that the president
will recommend that congress remove
all tariff duties upon print paper and
the raw material which enter into
its manufacture If the tariff Is SO
onerous to the newspaper publisher
does it not stand to reason that the
tariff is just as heavy a burden TO
other interests? IL the tariff gives
the trusts the opportunity to rob the
publisher does 1t not stand to reason
that high tariff on other necessi-
ties of The people are effected to the
same extent? This appeal to the
president simply knocks in the head
all the argument the large republi-
can papers have been advancing In
favor of high tariff for the past
twenty years.

optnut in their respective lines. Ac'
cording to this system no one corpoi !,
ation would be permitted to control
more than so per cent of the totai
product. .ooa
On the tarlg question be favored
immediate revision, beginning wlth
the tariff on articles which come into
competition with trustmade articles
Sucb a tariff, he thought, ought 10
no entirely removed He believed
that the fear OF removal would COM
mel the dissolution OF such trusts as
are protected by the tariff. He re-
garded tariff commission as merely
an excuse for delay in revision. Inc
nrotectjonists, he said, never favor
tariff revision until they are threat
ened with defeat, and then they favor
il only to postpone reductions.
On the railroad question he ex-
pressed himself as in favor OF more
stringent regulation, that regulation
to take the form OF iegisiaU'oi'
ascertaining the present value OF the
railroads, preventing the watering OF
stock and reducing rates. He argued
tat reasonable rate would be rate
that would enable the railroads TO
maintain their stock at par when
the road was honestly capitalized.
lie discussed the present money
stringency, saying that it began
with speculation in New York, but
that it has extended owing to the
timidity of depositos. He thought
this tiniidity was not justified ana
that the banks of the west are sound.
He favored legislation, which, 10y In
creasing the security Of depositors,
would remove even reasonable fear.

Many staunch supporters OF PreSi-
dent Roosevelt are not trying to
shield hin, but are candidly admit
ting bis share of the responsibility
for the present unsatisfactory finan-
cial condition. The effect of the
criticism seems TO be that he is not
saying so much recently as he has In
the past. When better judgment
prevails 1T is safe to say that the
worst criticism which can be made Is
that he has condemned all classes OF
industrial corporations too freely and
had the cases tried in the newspapers
in place of the courts. In other
words President Roosevelt has taken
too little thought of what effect this
charge would have upon the country,
and has thus precipitated condition
which he must regret. Sometimes 1t
does not pay to play to the galleries.

cauitalist Of the country is actualIy
drawing his money from the banks
and placing it In safety deposit vaults
or in an old stocking it simply makes
the situation more critical than APP
pears upon the surface. In thal
event II will be necessary for the gov
eminent TO issue bonds 10 small de-
nominations, as was done once De-
fore, to call the heart blood OF tne
nation out Of hiding .
The Recorder does not believe that
there will he worse condition Oh al
fairs in the future than we have at
the present time. For the reason
that congress will give temporary re-
lief by an asset currency, and wnen
the inevitable settlement day does
arrive government bonds will be Is
sued to relieve the situation. Inc
banks Of the country, especially Vi
the west, have immense deposits
and as soon as the Wall street Hurry
is over the western banks Will get
what is their due. The government
is behind the banks OF Wall street.
and indirectly behind the banks OF
the west. For that reason the small
depUsitor, who Is seriously consider
Ing the matter OF boarding his mon
ey, which, is now In the banks, Is
not only doing himself an injury, but
is injuring his neigbDor, injuring the
country and is almost criminal and
unpatriotic. Personally the small
dennsitOr has no reason for alarm.

One thing which will look good to
the business interests, especially in
the west, is that the people have un,
limited confidence in the country
banker. If he Is confronted with din.
culties, and is forced to take advan-
tage Of the cashier makeshift, it is
realized that he is not to blame, but
it is the eastern banks which have
tied up his money.

This idea of electing bankers, law.
yers and farmers to make our laws is
radically wrong. We should have
change and elect college professors
and college presidents. Chancellor
Andrews says that editors should be
hung who criticiSc the wealthy mer
of the nation, and professor in the
University Of Michigan says Roose.
welt should be given free hand and
elected for life. Upon second thought
it might be better to create a dam.
phool asylum for such men in place
of creating new order OF things in
the way of lawmakers.

Sioce the president has accepted a
design which removes for twenty We
years at least, the motto, "In God
we trust, why would it not be a
good idea to place Roosevelt in the
place of God? This would no doubt
suit the college protessora and the
Dakota journal which suggests that
Teddy be elected president for life.

NEW CHARGES
 OF BOODLING
An Argenia Paper Offers to Give the Proof and the House Votes to Appoint Committee
 to Investigate.

Little Rock, Feb. S.-W. J. Wall of White county, introduced concurrent resolution today empowering and directing the speaker to appoint committee of nine to investigate the many charges of booding in the present legislature.
 Hartsill of Sebastian county, and many others spoke against 1t, declaring the report only idle rumors.
 Smothers of Baxter, Malls and others supported the resolution, which was adopted by large ma jority.
 The charges are those printed ln the Argenta News, daring the house to appoint committee, and offering to submit proof. Simpson of Washington county, today moved to reconsider the vote by which Senate bill No. 95, (Holland), passed the house.
 This brought on long discus sion. Representatives Hartsill, Beck and Black, made strong speeches against the motion, de- claring Greenwood district should be allowed 10 control the whisky traffic there.
 Nearly all the morning was de- voted to the discussion and the motion was finally lost on roll call by an overwhelming majority
 The bill has gone to the gov error for signature.

The Principal Topic of Conversation at Hot Springs Is inc Passage
 of the Amis Bill by Senate.

Hot Springs, Feb. 7.--The general topic of conversation on the streets and in the hotels IS the passage of the Amis bill by the senate. As soon as the news was received here gloom settled down upon the city like a cloud. A great many recent arrivals, wealthy people, immediately an nounced their intention Of leaving here at once for other resorts, where there is less restriction placed upon visitors. While the army of newspaper correspond- ents now in the city regret to have to disseminate the iuforma- tiou, but are compelled to do so through sheer loyalty to duty, 1t is fact that even the most con servative citizens admit that the sity and great many of it's busi
 iess men will be forced into bankruptcy in the event he Amis bill becomes law. Already there is serious talk of placing the affairs of the corporation in  the hands of a commission as Galveston did after the great idal wave devastated the island city.

QUEER SIDE OF JAPAN.
Odd Faith Exhibited in the Mikado's
 Domains.

in Japan the lower orders of life not only make war and supply meat, but evince other peculiarties that rem der them invaluable concomitants Of civilization A few days ago num- Der of people were seen gazing intent ly toward the upper limbs of a large pine tree. Stopping to learn the se- cret of this unusual interest, man was observed descending the tree, while crow was furiously cawing and beating about his head; then 1t was seen that the trespasser had possessed himself of one of her brood, an unpie v possessing little chick that no one could be imagined to fancy for a pet. Asked what he intended doing with the young crow, he replied that 1t made excellent medicine for the blood: Chi.no-michi-no kusuri," to use his exact words. To insure the efficacy of the medicine, he explained, the bird must be taken before it leaves the nest. if possible, or. if it has left the nest, before it gets to where 1t can drink water; for, he asserted, if it has of itself taken water, 1t loses all virtue as blood-cure. The pro cess of preparing the remedy is, first, to kill the crow and, without cleaning it. to encase the body in an air-tight covering of cement or clay. The mould is then baked for two or three days in a hot fire When the clay crust is removed, naturally the crow will be found to be black. lump of pure charcoal. This Is pulverized and converted into pills of the pink" or der, which are very popular here as blood regulator He reminded his in terlocutors that the medicine was very rare because of the difficulty Of find ,ng crow that had not taken water The man was perfectly sincere, and appeared extremely proud of his sue cess in having secured the bird. He was reluctant to leave the tree lest there should be another one on the ground somewhere.
 Those who, since the brilliant achievements of the Japanese Red Cross Society in the late war, are ac. custt ned to take for granted the ad vance of medical science in this coun- try, will. of course. bear in mind that the practitioner under consideration had not at this time acquired member ship in any legally recognized thera peutic fratcrnityi but probably his nostrum was quite as effective as much of the medicine that is sold to a large constituency st higher price h other portions of the globe --Har. per's Weekly

GREAT SUGAR EATERS.
Per Capita Consumption in the United States During 1906 Was
 76 Pounds.

Washington, Feb. a.--'The average citizen of the United States seems [, have consumed one-half his own weight in sugar in the year just end. sd," says a statement issued Friday by the bureau of statistics of the de. partment of commerce and labor. The average per capita consumption was 76 pounds. The amount of sugar con sumed was six and one half billion pounds at a cost of over $300.000,000.
 Of this enormous consumption. one fifth was produced in this country, an. other one fifth was imported from our island possessions and the remainin; shree-fifths. or S64.665, 661 pounds from foreign countries.
 Of the production of sugar in ths United States last year little less than one-half was from cane and 8 little more than one half from beets. The quantity of beet sugar entering into American consumption was 672.- 100000 pounds. showing remarkable increase and for the first time ex- cttuihS the pIouuCtioH ol tue piouuNt from cane. There was an increase of 2G0 per cent in the production of beet over cane sugar from 1900 10 1906,
 Rapid as the increase in sugar pro- duction in the United States has been in recent years, it has not by any means kept pace with the increased consumption. In the last ten years here has been an increase in the con. .ump,lon of this article of 2.024S16,- is0 pounds, 1t beng more than three .lnes as great as the increased .home production.

STEVENS NAY QUI CANAL
Chief Engineer Declares He VIII Resign Unless All Bids
 Are Rejected.
TIE INFORMATION CREATES SURPRISE
Mir. Stevens Had Previously Eo'o Senate Committed that He Favored Building Canal by contract--Afraio He Win Lose Credit of Construct ing the Great Work.

Washington. Feb. S.--The admins tration has been brought face to face with the alternative of rejecting all bids for the construction of the fan- anna canal by contract os losing the ser vices of Chief Engineer John +. SteV- ems This is the reason for the de- lay of President Roosevelt, secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts, Of the ca nal commission in acting on the Oliver bid An effort has been made to get MT. Stevens to change his mind put he has remained obdurate, and the indications are that the administra- tion will accede to his request and that the construction will bc continued by the government.
 This information concerning MT. Stevens created some surprise as MT. Stevens testified before the seCate canal committee that he favored build- md the canal by contract. He now expresses the belief that the canal con be constructed by the government within ten years. His friends advise him that if a contract Is let for con- struction he will be robbed of the credit of building it. Frequent ex- changes of cablegrams between Wash ington and the isthmus have resulted in a demand by MT. Stevens for the acceptance of his resignation if the contract is awarded.
 Following conference of the presi- dent with Secretary Taft, Secretary Loeb gave out formal statement that The secretary of war and the canal commission will thoroughly examine into the qualifications. experience, business standing and achievements of MT. Oliver and his associate and into the responsibility of the sureties. -ecretary Taft and the commission will probably need fortnight to con- p,ete full examination of the bid and report to the president"
 Secretary Taft later informed Mir Oliver that the president was very much inclined to give the contract tc MT. Oliver and his associates but that he would not surrender his right tt reject all bids.

BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN.
Criticism of the Gentle Sex Evidently
 Written by Bachelor.

She will save and scrimp on the laundry bills, and haggle with tue butcher. and make over her last year $ hat and then-she will take all the wealth she has amassed by this painful process and stuff 1t into flimsy cnate- laine bag with a weak clasp and walk serenely down among the to lh'eVes of Broadway, says the New fofk Press.
 She will spend hours writing long letter. imploring an answer by return mail and then-she will post 1t With out stamp and without having once mentioned her address.
 She will stand before the mirror for 20 minutes putting her hat on at ex- actly the right angle and will suffer tortures at the sight of picture that hangs crooked, or sssa pillow that is turned the wrong way, or a chair that is out of place, and then--she will sign thousand dollar check up side down.
 She will waste a fortune at the masseuse's having her flesh reduced and will walk and bant and exercise herself into nervous hysteria. and then -she will go home and cat enough chocolate fudge to give strong man fatty degeneration of the chin. She will cut woman she dislikes | dead in the street and talk about her l to the whole community, and then she will go straight home and wear her fingers out trying to make her
 hat over like that same wornan's. She will go without lot of things | she really wants, and mend her old clothes until they drop to pieces. and J shen-she will spend the money she has thus saved on pink and gilt an gel for the parlor mantel.
 She will trot around in the rain
 hunting for three-quarters of yard oi
 ribbon or new patent hairpin until
 she is exhausted, ruining her best
 clothes and wearing her shoes and her
 nerves to tatters. and then--come
 home and weep because the dampness has taken the wave out of her fifty cent marcel.
 She will spank her little boy until
 he cries for mercy because he told :
 He about his pet dog and filched penny from her pocketbook, and thet -she will calmly put him on a streel
