Miscnuri a Wheat State.

Half of Missouri wheat is consumed
by the mills which flourish outside of
the large cities, and, therefore, is only
heard of at home, but enough was
shipped to show that the state holds
high rank for this commodity. The
same can be said of corn What is not
kept on the farm for the live stock is
taken to the neighboring grist mill to
be converted into meal. Very little,
when the size of the crop is consider
ed, finds its way into the larger cities
outside of the state.

For years Cache Junction has been
the rendezvous OF tramps, gentry oil

helpless little burg their headquarters.

shiftless gentry lay about the juno

ley towns, committing a burglary OF

A Jail az the Junction would serve
several very excellent purposes. In
the first place few hoboes would drop
Off there II the word once got abroad
that a Jail had been erected there.
The average tramp has horror OF
bars-even bars OF s0ap-and those
that had the nerve to stop would con.
duct themselves very decorously while
there. When arrests are made there
the jail would again serve good pur.
pose in relieving the deputy of the
care OF his criminals. Although the
deputy at the junction is paid but $40
month, he must give no little atten-
tion to rounding up the tramps, and
perchance when some criminal Is ar.
rested he must leave his work and
keep company with the captured until
a train comes to Logan. Then he
must remain here until another train
takes him back.
A jail at the Junction need not be
made an expensive structure, nor
should the conveniences be such as TO
invite habitation. A few hundred
dollars would answer the purpose and
the amount would be spent most profit
ably to the county.

RAILROAD FATALITIES.

Just few issues back, THE REPUB-
LICAN made the assertion that fully
nine-tenths of the railroad wrecks
could be prevented by an expenditure
of money-money that is not spent,
however, because railroad directors
and presidents demand extraordinary
dividends. A recent report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission bears
out our assertion to the fullest extent.
That report says "9,703 persons
were killed and S9,O0S injured on
American railroads In 1905. OF these
6SS were killed and 7,i33 wounded in
collisions. These so called accidents
were almost all preventable MOST
of the other kinds OF accidents WERE
PREV ENTABLE, too, but practic-
ally all collisions could have been
avoided. Ihcy were due To disregard
OF the rules laid down to ensure safe.

THE EFFORT TO MAKE ONE

1852 people 49, among them your

This is a condition of affairs that

DON'T ROB COMMONWEALTH.

The highest type Of citizen is that
one who scrupulously keeps the intent
as well as the letter of the law. He
may believe the law unjust, unfair to
himself and others, but the good citi.
zen will show his respect for the law
as an abstract proposition by obeying
its provisions until a more just meas
ure is placed on the statue books.
The law provides system OF taxation
and the total of any mans taxes is
based on the value of his property as
he lists 1t with the Assessor. The law
provides that all property shall be as
sessed and taxed at proper value,
and there is no provision that permits
| a man to withhold any portion OF his
taxable property from the knowledge
OF the Assessor. He is not privileged
to hide his property, not privileged to
falsify as to its value-and when he
does do this he Is not different from
other men classed as yolators OF the
law.
Russell Sage paid taxes on 81, 900, 900
but at his death il was discovered
that he had $50, 900, 900 in his posses
sion. For years he robbed the com.
monwealth, the people, of huge sums
OF money that he should have paid in
taxes. However, we may try to
gloss II over, however disagreeable
the word may sound. Russell Sage was
butt thief. Despite the fact that under
this great government he reaped
greater advantages than most, he was
not willing to bear his share of the
burden Of taxation.
Any other man, be he a banker,
newspaper man, farmer, merchant,
or laborer In Cache county or else
where, who Is not willing to bear his
share Of the public burden, as de fined
and prescribed by law, is not worthy
to be cassed more kindly than Russell
Sage. Naught can excuse any man
for deliberate evasion OF the truth,
misrepresentation before the law, be
1t in the matter of taxes or any other
phase OF public life. The law must be
respected In all its dignity else it is
but force made for the protection Of
criminals rather than safeguard for
the right.mnded
Let the individual give full and
honest accounting to the Assessor, re.
gard the duty Of paying taxes as a just

Planting the Orchard.
(By M. J. WeSsels.)

The thousands of trees being in
spected reminds me that they will
also be converted very soon into or
chards. The old saying that a good
beginning is a good ending is es-
pecially true in the starting of an
orchard. No doubt many a person
who expects to start his orchard in the
spring may not have any knowledge
in this particular line of business. By
them a few suggestions of a general
outline will be appreciated. First, the
holes should be sufficiently large so
that when the tree is placed in the
center it will not crowd the roots
The soil is then scattered over the
roots occasionally shaking the tree by
a slight quick up and down motion,
to let the soil roll in among the roots
and under the crown, and oftentimes
it Is necessary with the hand to raise
the upper roots above the soil of the
lower. When the roots are well COW
cred, tramp the soil with the feet and
at the same time hold the trunk of
the tree in the hand, slightly pressing
downward so that the roots may not
tear loose from the main stem by be-
ing pressed into the soft earth. This
will also bring the crown of the roots
in closed contact with the soil. Then
finish by filling, if anything a little
higher than the surrounding ground,

When the Children Grow Up.

when my children were in my
arms and clinging to my skirts, I
looked forward to the time when they
would be grown up, and dreamed of
the many things that I should accom-
plish, and the wonderful things l
should do. I thought would be free
from anxiety then. No more sleepless
nights, I could rest-rest-rest. But
not so. The saying, When the chill
dren are little they step on your toes,
but when they grow up they step on
your heart is too true. When they
were small and in the home I knew
they were safe and happy, but as they
grow up and go out into the world my
heart-strings are pulled this way and
that, and | long to take them in my
arms again." Thus spoke a mother
who had brought up a large family
of boys and girls. They were all
steady, honest, and Industrious ones,
but she knew the temptations on every
side that would beset them, and she
felt the Importance of their being
rightly settled in life, both in the bust
ness life and in domestic life. She
also realized that while they were
loving and respectable they had
opinions and plans of their own, and
did not always accept hers and fol
low her advice. This, while she &C
cepted it as according to nature and
inevitable, was a source of trouble
and caused many heartaches. These
things must be faced by parents and
faced bravely, while they hope and
trust that the seeds which they have
planted when their children were little
will prove true and be unmixed with
tareS.
