A minister down in Missouri found
his people too poor to purchase hymn
books, and being offered the same book
free by patent medicine house pro-
vided they be allowed to insert their ad-
vertisement, ordered three dozen for
the congregation. He was elated upon
receiving them to find no ad in the
same. The next Sunday he distributed
the books, telling his brethren his good
fortune, and requesting that they sing
page 120. His chagfih ffiay be mag
med when they sang as follows: "Hark
the heavenly angels sing; Johnson's
pills are just the thing, the angelic
voices meek and mild-two for a mar
and one for child"

The Wallace Times is making a good
deal of criticism on Senator Hepburn 8
conduct during the last session of con-
gress, and his history leading up to his
election as senator. If one-tenth of
what the Times says is true the senator
should be called upon to give reason
able excuse as to why he should be al
lowed to continue in office Until his
term expires.

Other states that had the same ground

primary discussions and campaigns in
Nebraska and elsewhere can note the
definite line of retreat taken by the OPP
ponents of direct nominations, and the
successive bitches in which they take
shelter.
First, they are frankly opposed to
direct primaries and in favor of con-
ventions. Whenever there is much dis
cussion they are soon driven from that
redoubt.
Next they are in favor Of local direct
primaries, but opposed for many reas-
ons to the statewide primary. AS soon
as the people take notice that it is fully
as important to control the state gov
eminent as to control the county and
municipal politics, the opponents of
statewide primaries acquiesce, but only
on condition that the candidates shall
be nominated by convention in case no
candidate gets a full majority at the
primaries.
To this the Boise Statesman (repub-
lican) adds:
That sets forth the methods pursued
by those who wish to adhere to the MAJ
chine method of making nominations
They always aim to satisfy the demands
of the people by giving them something
which falls short of the thing wanted,
the deficiency being CLOSED over In
some manner or explained by every
artifce of sophistry. But the people
have their minds fixed upon what they
want, and the movement for abolition
of the convention abomination is gain
ing such Roadway that it will soon
triumph in practically all statess

THEIR CHANCE TO BOOST.

Grangeviile and Sites both have
Booster" clubs, but it hasn't been
noticed that either organization has yet
aone anything that would entitle it to
the maine it bears. If the members of
those societies want to do something
that would reflect credit upon their
business ability and at the same time
boost their towns and Idaho county,
they will not overlook the opportunity
thus afforded in the movement for inn
provement of the mountain road. Both
the towns are profiting from the noun
tain trade, now. Their profit will be
greatly increased when better trans
portation facilities are provided for the
rich mining districts. Sites could we'll
forego the pleasure of it's Fourth of
July celebration, and the county's hub
could do likewise with few, if not all,
of the festive occasions that are held
there each year Those are passing
pleasures, while the Improvement of the
road is permanent, something that will
add to the convenience of the citizens

POLITICS AS A SCIENCE.

1t is gradually dawning upon the dear
public that politicians, like poets, are
born and not made. At any rate, from
the viewpoint of the laity the field of
politics is a science in which there are
no acknowledged teachers OF schools,
and yet what wonderful and inexpiain-
able results. Take for example the
power United States senators exert
over state legislatures. The legislature
makes the senator, and then so often
the senator turns and has the legisla-
ture do things that are directly con-
trary to Whist tAe people want done
and not iii accord With the agreement
between the people and the candidates
during election campaign. Idaho had
an example of disregard for party
pledges in the doings of the legislature
that adjo8fned short time ago. IN
which men holding positions in the gen.
eral governments controlled and dictated
the new laws that were enacted for the
state of Idaho.
1t seems the hidden power that pre-
vented the enactment Of . direct pri-

HER STATUS:

When Nature was an infant, in the
early long ags,
She had no devoted parents to restrain
her acts, and so
She fnonkeyea with the buzz-saw, or,
in other words, picked up
The knack of making playthings of
the choas she'd kicked Up.
At first she made membrane, with
a breath Of air inside,
And watched it go a-bobbing on the
oceans salty tide;
Then by coddling it little in her
primal incubator,
She turned Out the gentle bivalve and
the naughty alligator.
Her play was so amusing almost any
one could see
Progression bumped its Progress with
a great celebrity;
And between the primal primate and
the Man she called human,
There seemed to be a yawning, so
kind Nature made Woman.
Now there are those who doubtless
have the impudence to think,
Because of her position, Woman forms
the Missing Link,
But whatever were Ewes parents, and
it Seems she must have had 'em,
She was capable of making quite a
Monkey out of Adam.
-Lurana w. Sheldon.

manded them not, neither came it to
my mind that they should do this abomi=
nation to cause Judah to sin. "-Jefez
miah, xxi, IS.
And because, despite the warning of
the prophet, Israel and Judah continued
to sacrifice their children to heather
god. Biblical history chronicals the de-
struction Of Jerusalem by Nebuchad=
nezzar of Babylon and the slaughter Of
thousands by the sword and by pesti-
lence.
There are no Jeremiahs in our day:
but in this era of Christian enlighten-
ment of boasted freedom from fanatical
superstition, there are gods more re-
voting than the Molochs of the Ammon-
ites-the Moloch into whose arms,
heated to a white glow, babies and
youths and maidens were thrust by
avaricious parents.
No?
What Of Evelyn Thaw? What of
thousands of other young girls sacrificed
by avaricious mothers.
The story that Evelyn Thaw told to
shield her husband is a story of human
sacrifice more revolving, more appalling
in its dreadful details than any scene
that was ever enacted in the valley of
the sons of Hinnom.
The sacrifice of the human body
through pagan fanaticism in an era of
religious and social darkness-or the
sacrifice of human soul through mer-
cenary greed in an era of Christian en-
lightenment in land of the broadcast
civilization, Which is the more abhor-
rent?
Yet Evelyn Thaw is but one of hun
dreds whose souls have been bartered
for handful of gold-have been ruth
lessly sacrificed in the cruel arms of a
god far more terrible than the Moloch
Of the Aifimonites, a god whose affairs
are not alone in the high places of the
sons of Hinnom, but at the firesides Of
hundreds upon hundreds of che families
of our land.
There is warning here, too. We
have reached the stage where we are
inclined to scott at Divine anger such
as visited Israel and Judah. But
whether we believe in Divine being,
terrible and avenging, as did the an
clients, is not material. Natures laws
are as far-reaching as were the man.
dates issued through the prophets of
old; and nature demands full retribu-
ton for violation of her laws.
Have YOU daughter? Do you real
ize her danger and your responsibility?
Perhaps Evelyn Thaw's mother did not
realize that she was offering up an aw-
full sacrifice when she thrust her half
grown girl into the world to traffic her
beauty for money. Yet the sacrifice
was made
Perhaps even now, almost without
knowing it, you are beginning to kneel
before this modern Moloch-MONEY:
Are you?
Think now, you mothers and fathers
before it is too late.

Not Accept Pension from

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 26.-The senate OF
North Calorinia received a letter today from
Mrs. Stonewall Jackson declining to accept
a pension of 500 a month provided under
a resolution introduced few days ago.
| most welcomingly appreciate this patri-
otto and loyal tribute to the name OF my
that I would be justified in accepting IT,
am Informed that the laws of North Car
olina limit all pensions to those who have
not come under this law, l respectfully re-
quest that the bill be withdrawn.
Mrs. jackson suggests that the sum pro-
posed in her behalf be appropriated for the
relief of destitute widows of confederatS
veterans.
