what you really want at as reasonable

The following letter, written by a
Michigan farmer, explains ina clear
and unmistakable way the danger of
buying of mail-order concerns. 1t was

class of institution in this country:
Baldwin, Mich, Jan. IL, 1907.
Gentlemen:
1 have your favor Of recent date,
and also your catalogues and accom-
panying circulars offering premiums
for distribution of the same among my
friends. I have no doubt that, as you
say, / will thereby confer a great IA
vor upon you, but 1 am compelled to
take issue with you on the statement
that I will also confer a favor upon
my friends.
In my dealings with you, extending
over ONE time past, I have received
no favors from you'll paid for all 1
got, and the length of time l traded
with you, instead of establishing
friendly relations and gaining me adj
ditional favor as it would in a home
store, gave you the opinion that, un-
like a new customer, to whom you
give your very best, so they will come
again, 1 was a steady ome and any
old thing would do for me.
Our last deal opened my eyes and
convinced me of your policy. Your
catalogues offer some apparently great
bargains. But let us draw up our
chairs and see If there are not a few
things very essential to the rural citi-
zen that are not mentioned within it's
voluminous bulk.

How much will you pay for cattle,

How much will you pay to support

On what page do you offer to con-
tribute money to the support Of u

you provide in the way OF entertain
ment for the public and in the way
of providing those things that make a
town desirable and thus keep up the
value of my property?

thing to help locally, or do you merely

Idaho, Washington and Oregon May
Be Asked to Contribute Counties.

+ Spokane, Wash.-Residents all over
eastern and central Washington,
northern Idaho, including the Pan
handle and northeastern Oregon, are
evincing interest in the proposal to
create a new state by taking rs coun-
ties, with a population of 100000 in
the territory bounded on the west by
the Cascade range, on the east by
the Bitter Root mountains, on the
north by the international boundary
and en- the south by the Blue noun
tains, and, judging from the hearty
support accorded, there is every rea-
,sonable prospect that the project will
lbe carried out successfully.
e G.. Herbert Moore, chairman of the
city beautiful committee of the Spo-
kane chamber Of commerce, who is
at the head of the movement, urges
the assembling of a convention at an
early date, at which the new state
plan can be thoroughly discussed by
representative men of the three in
;terested states.
The proposed action to create the
new state by taking parts of three adj

An approach to it, however, was fur

declare that provision is made in the
constitution of the United States for
the creation of new states, and they
point to section 8, article 1, as the

Keep SIade in the Pen.

Relatives of J. B. SIade are cir
culating a petition to have him
pardoned. Slade, as our readers
know, was convicted of one of the
most cowardIy, and old-blnoded
murders ever committed in this
section of the state and it was and
still is the opinion of nearly all
our people he should have receiv-
ed the death penalty. He was
given a fair and just trial and con-
victed by twelve of his peers and
he was sentenced to the penitenti-
ary for life. After serving sew
.eral months be escaped and we
learn was in this county. Sheriff
Lee, who in our estimation is the
best Sheriff in the State, captured
him, with the assistance of several
deputies, but not until SIade made
an attempt to kill some of the
posse. We cannot see why man
would endorse a pardon for such a
criminal as Slade, and know be
should serve the rest of his life in
the pen. I" We have not heard
what Gov. Vardaman's opinion
is on the subject and we doubt if
be has expressed any, but we
know that he will not grant the
pardon, unless Slade and his rela-
tives produce new evidence which
is far stronger and more substan.
tial than was produced at the trial.
If Slade is pardoned,. we should
abolish the courts. McComb City

What Baileyism Means.

Over in Texas, where the Bailey
and anti Bailey forces in the
Democratic party are lining up
for death grapple, Frank Put
nam, of the Houston Chronicle,
one of the most lucid and forcible
writer's on the Southern press,
thus defines what Baileyism
means.
Now there is wide distinction
between Baileyism and CONNER
cialism. Baileyism, as | under
stand it, means the theory that a
public man can at the same time
legally and honurably serve the
state and its enemies too. That
he can take fees from both parties
TO a lawsuit. in effect, and escape
diseredit. Now | have never sub
scribed to that doctrine. For 20
years / have fought it, when
northern and eastern senators and
other public officers within my
view tried to put it into practice.
1t seems to me to Involve the very
essence of treason, andit is doc
trine The most hatS hl on that
account. Treason to the state and
treason to the noblest race ideals.
Needless to say, no argument that
has been or can be put forward by
the friends of Senator Bailey can
excuse his adherence to this doc
trine. Legislatures may white
wash him, his editorial friends
may seek to excuse his actions up
on whatever grounds they will,
but the ugly fact remains chat he,
a public officer, took service with
a corporation at war with the
state, secretly, for pay, and has
never either denied it or express
ed repentance. That, as | under
stand it, is Baileyism.
