FRENCH FOR CONGRESS.

Reflective. possibly, of pro.
nounced sentiment among north
Idaho Republicans is the following
frsm the Bonner's Ferry Herald:
cit is the opinion of the Herald
that Congressman French will be his
own successor for the Republican
nomination for Congress. We have
arrived at this conclusion after an op-
lportunity to sound public sentiment,
as reflected by prominent Republicans
from all over the state.
Several names have been coupled
with the congressional nomination
all very worthy men and all deser-
wing we'll at the hands Of the Repub-
lican party But at no time has any
better reason been urged Why Mr..
French should not succeed himself
{ than that some locality has some
favorite son that they would like to
see honored. No locality seems to
have produced spontaneous, ready.

ing themselves why they should be
asked to make change.
''That Congressman French is APP

his constituents is shown by the fact
that he always leads bis ticket by q

attempt to secure sympathy and re-
lease by feigning illness and taking
blindness. So she will be put at work

succeeded in getting a parole on the

fooled the medical staff by we'll

Delegates Need II.

Each delegate-elect to the consti-
tutional convention will within few
days receive a bound volume contain
ing the constitution of 1850, ammo
tated by sections. Decisions of the
supreme court constituting the sec
ton and a history of amendments fol-
low in each case. Blank leaves will
be as numerous as the printed ones,
and members are expected to come to
the convention with notes and obser-
vations throughout. This is to be the
first of three bulletins prepared for
the use of the convention. One pamph-
let is directed at the special legisla-
ton evil, for which Michigan is no.
torious. In 1881 the legislature pass
ed 142 special local acts; the legis-
lature of 1907 passed Ala such acts,
not counting exceptions to general
acts, joint and concurrent resolutions,
game and fish provisions and other
neighborhood measures. Mr.. Miller
says that in it's legislative department
Michigan is so years behind the times.

How determined the world is becom-
ing to put an end to food adulteration
is shown in many ways. The passage
of the pure food bill by the British
house of commons is especially sig
nificant. England is a conservative
country, and it takes a long time tc
stir up the people to the point where
they demand action looking to inter-
ference with old established customs.
But food adulteration is so prevalent
and affects directly or indirectly so
many subjects of the king that the
necessity of putting an end to it is
impressed on the popular mind. Par
lament, responding to this sentiment,
has passed an act which recalls the
legislation in this country on the same
subject. The fight against that form
of rascality which consists of fraud
in food goes merrily on and should re.
suit in great reform.

Another Rate Fight.

Already lines are being drawn for
battle Nroyal which will occur In
congress this winter over further rail-
road regulation reforms which Presi-
dent Roosevelt will urge. The move
ment on the part of certain railroad
men to come to an understanding with
each other and their colleagues and
with the president has failed, and
there will be a renewal of the tactics
of the last congress designed to take
the sting out of Mr.. Roosevelts rec
concentrations.
In anticipation of a struggle both
sides are preparing for the campaign
of education. 1t develops today that
the president recently sent an official
to Europe to investigate methods of
regulating railroads, especially in Ger
many and other countries owning
lines. 1t is the purpose of the presi-
dent, upon receipt of this information,
to insert it in his annual message.
Conservative forces in congress have
sent men to Europe on a like mission,
and the latter will be depended on to
show conditions which will cause the
people to halt in favoring the enact
ment of any legislation which might
tend to their appearance in the United
States.

Value of the Philippines.

Admiral Dewey defines his position
in reference TO the Philippines and de-
clares strongly against the abandon
ment of the islands. He says Every
one comedies that the orient is the
future great field for the principal
commercial nations of the world? we
ought to be the leaders, but we must
at least have a share in the enter.
prise. and in order to do so wYmust
maintain the position we have occu-
pied through force of circumstances
In that region Suppose we should dis
pose of the Philippines and Japan
should acquire them? See how the
islands stretch along the coast. Here
are the Japanese islands, here is For
mosa, which Japan owns, and then
come the Philippines. If Japan had
them she would command every gate
way to the orient and the United
States would be completely shut out
81 do not believe that our country
will ever abandon the Philippines"
said the admiral. 1--WE already have
too much at stake to withdraw from
the islands 1t is only our control over
the Philippines that makes It possible
for us to insist upon the opchJ door IN
the east, toward which our diplomacy
has been directed for number OF
years. We want our share OF the
enormous commerce of the east and
we cannot keep the open door for it
unless We hold the islands,

ROGERS Is Well Again.

H. H. Rogers, his friends declare,
so far from being done with business
affairs for the rest of his life, is more
than likely to return to his Office in
the not-distant future and again take
up active control of his affairs. He
is said to have made up his mind that
he will leave some of the fighting to
others and confine his activities more
closely to his own personal interests.
That he will be able, after some
rest, to carry out his program many of
Mr.. Rogers friends are convinced. One
of them, referring to the suggestions
in the press that Mr. Rogers was wor-
ried over his financial position as well
as over his health, said:
ITO adopt the vernacular of the
prize ring, to which some of those
have resorted who have attacked Mr..
Rogers in saying that he is down and

that he is very far from taking the

Courage.

One of the most unhappy, but at the
same time impressive, sights ever
witnessed at the headquarters of the
New York police department took
place there recently, when a patrol
man was discharged from the service
because of cowardice. In the pres
ence of his brother officers his badge
was unpinned from his breast and the
buttons cut from his uniform. No
such thing had happened before for
more than 80 years. 1t is curious
trait in human nature that physical
courage, the virtue which is most
cherished and most eXtolled, should
be at the same time perhaps the Gem.
monest. The great popularity of the
almost entirely to the fact that origin
ally 1t was the soldier especially who
was obliged to exercise physical cour-
age. 1t is not improbable that the
lessening tendency to make heroes of
soldiers merely because they are sol
diers is due to a growing perception
that many other occupations call for
and produce men who do quite as
daring deeds in circumstances far less
favorable to gallantry. 1t would be
an exceedingly interesting thing if
one could trace the influence of news
papers and other periodicals on the
prevalence of physical courage. There
can be no doubt, says Youths Com
panion, that the influence is consider.
able. Nothing is seized more eagerly
by the reporters than stories of hero
ISM" and not much is read with great.
er interest by the people. In days,
then, when every man is hero who
stops a runaway horse or pulls little
boy out of brook, it must be that
the popular imagination is very con.
siderably stimulated and the mind
stirred to emulation by the newspaper
reports.

Sharing Prosperity.

A Buffalo savings bank has in
creased it's interest rate from three
and half to four per cent, and in

that last year it earned $253,000 over

should have the benefit. This is not
only indicative of excellent manage
ment in this particular case, but is
evidence of the general soundness un-
DERIVING the surface of business, re-
marks the Troy Times. Were it
otherwise savings banks could not so
readily find sound and remunerative
investments and would not be able to
pay comfortable interest to patrons.
At a time when there is more or less
of a disposition to take a pessimistic
view of certain financial features it is
well to recall the admirable showing
made by savings banks as a whole.
These are the custodians of the money
of the industrious workers who save
what they can of their earnings, and
the fact that deposits have increased
enormously of late shows that wage
earners are doing well, while the in
creasing rate of interest is proof that
such savings are wisely handled
Many capitalist would be content to
receive steady dividend of four per
cent. on his money.

Child Bitten by RattIesnake.

Genevieve Gibson, II years old, has
been seriously sick as the result of
being poisoned by a rattlesnake bite.
The little girl was playing in the door
yard at her fathers farm, four miles
south of Pontiac. Her father, II. w.
Gibson, afterwards killed the reptile,
which was an unusually large snake,
measuring four feet. 1t is thought
that the seriousness of the child's i'll
ness has been due in large part to
the impossibility of getting immediate
medical attention for the wound in
her leg, some time elapsing before a
physician could be reached.

Official denial was given to reports
that a conference of Standard Oil in

H. H. Rogers, in Fair Haven, Mass.
1t is stated that Mr. Rogers has not
been consulted regarding Standard

A representative of the Standard
Oil Co. said:
II can say, however, that as soon
as the Standard Oil Co. has freed it
self from the labrynth of litigation
now involving it then there will be a
reorganization. The capital stock will
be increased to an amount more in
harmony with the value of its assets,
