Boise. Idaho.-No one living in the
Rocky mountain regions can have an
unpTejudiced opinion regarding the
Steunenberg murder trial This is
the most important event that has
occurred in western America in re-
cent years, and William D. Haywood,
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners, charged with the murder of
IdahOs governor, has half the popu-
IatiOn of the entire western country
with him and half against him. This
is the elimination of a long line of
blOodshed in the mining camps, begin
ming in the Coeur d'Alenes mines Is
years ago. and eliminating in the
bloody mining riots in Colorado. The
prosecution aims to show that all the
crimes in the mining camps which
appeared at the time to have their
motive in the existing bad feeling be-
tween the mine owners and the West
eTu Federation of Miners were
planned by the Inner Circle of the
federation. OF this the three officials

Al the time of the Wardner riots
in the Occur d'Alenes, Gov. Steunen-

militia in the Philippines, asked for
federal aid, and Gen. Merriam estab-

that Gov. Steunenberg gained the en-

of Miners. Two years later Steunen-
berg retired from office and returned

MEANS MUCH FOR FLORIDA.
Draining of the Everglades Will Add
Enormously to States Wealth.

To save and use some 5000, 900 or
100000 acres of land which has been
supposed to be waste and which has
been given over to reptiles and wild
animals, is the project which the gov
ernor of Florida and certain of the
states capitalists have undertaken.
The famous Everglades are to be
drained-are being drained, in fact,
and vast area of land, much of which
has been overfiowed with water and
thousands of acres of which are
almost impossible swamp, are to be
brought under cultivation. Florida is
to become a much more wonderful
state even than it has been heretofore,
and that means a good deal.

Light from a Report.

While some of our army officers are
urging congress to restore liquor-sell-
ing to the canteen, it might enlighten
them to study the report of Surgeon
General Evart, stating that there are
$4,000 teetotalers in the British army.
The testimony of Sir Frederick
Treves, an eminent medical authority,
goes to show that the army capteen
is not only unnecessary but positively
enervating when the troops are in
active service, and large demands are
made upon their endurance.

The Church and the Saloon Question.

Bishop R. S. Foster has said: THE

heart the duty of combining and mass
ing its force against the gigantic
atrocity of Christian civilization that
mothers nine-tenths of the woes and
sorrows that blight and curse our mod
ern age-the traffic in intoxicants,
which hides its deformitY under
forms of law. The conflict is now
upon us. The church must lead in
this reform. This is her most De-
culiar province. 1t comes in the line
of the great class of moral issues of
which she is the recognized guardian.

be the treason of his instigators. Nc

Murder of Steunenberq.

When ex-Gov. Steunenberg was MUIR
dered Dec. 80, 1906, the nature of the
death trap set for him and seemingly
the probable motive for the act pointed
suspicion toward the Western Fedora
tion of Miners. James Mcfarland, SUI
perintendent Of the western branch of
the Pinkerton service, with his office
in Denver, took up the case. Three
days after the murder Mcfarland ar
rested Harry Orchard, in whose room
in hotel in Caldwell was found sus-
picious white powder and some letters.
In his trunk in the railroad station, it
is claimed, were found materials for
making bombs, a cipher code, and let

containing instructions and advice.
