Idaho is ON rHE MAJ.

It Ii source of qualification to know
that Idaho is on the map when the
grape growers and wine makers begin
to cast about for territory where Eu-
ropear grapes can be grown in Amer
Tea, and wine produced in competition
with the imported products of France,
italy, Spain and Germany. Since the
passage of the pure food law there
has ben a revival Of interest in the
future Of the wine industry in the
United States. Heretofore the preju-
dice in favor of imported wine has
led the American grower to increase
HIS remuneration by the free use of
the imported label. Now this will be
changed and the native wines go
straight to the consumer under their
own names and stand on their own
merits.
This has led to some speculation on
the part of the American growers as
to the future OF the American wine
industry. and In prognosticating 1t
they are in no wise cast down over the
prospects. A recent article in the
American Wine Press, written by the
president OF the California Wine as
sociation, says in this connection:
France, italy, Spain and Germany
have no monopoly on sunshine, soil
or climate for grape culture. The
struggle for existence which grapes
on the Rhine and Moselle must make
to reach maturity can be duplicated
in the California foot hills, in the New
York wine districts. among the Ohio
river and the mountain districts of
Idaho, and IL such struggle, as COM
pared with grapes grown under more
favorable climatic conditions, is nec-
essary (as some claim) to the devel-
opment Of the fine boquet and quality
for which German wines are famous,
analogous conditions may also be
found in this country"
Another articleNin the same edition
includes the Sheltered localities of
idaho" in the territory to which Am
erica may expect to look for wines to
rival the European product The
Lewiston valley is the home of grape
culture in Idaho, and wine from Lew
iSton vineyards has received honorable
mention at all the great international
expositions from the date of the worlds
fair at Chicago until the present time.
The fact that Idaho is on the map
when grape culture and wine pro-
duction are discussed in their outlook
for the future is due to the pioneers
who have labored zealously for many
years to promote the industry in this
valley.
In the operation of the pure food law
American wines under their Own label
will come I'm direct and open compe-
tition with the imported products and
the best products are assured that our
native products need not shrink from
comparison. The result will be a
boom to the industry in those parts OF
the country peculiarly adapted to
growing the grape that produces excel
lent wines. Tests carried along for q
series of years go to prove that Lewis
ton valley is one of the favored spots
on the continent and that the product
of the Lewiston vineyards will rival
If not excel the best produced in Cal

WAS n DEFAULTER.
Late Congressman Adams, who Com
mitted Suicide Last Year, Charged
With Having Embezzled $4,000.

Philadelphia, January 16.-The late
Congressman Robert Adams, Jr., of
this city, who committed suicide in
his apartments in Washington last
year by shooting was today declared
in the orphans court here to have been
a defaulter to the amount of $4,000.
The startling assertion was made dur
ing the argument in surcharge pro-
ceedings brought against H. Carlton
Adams, surviving executor and trustee
of the estate OF his father, Robert
Adams, Sr., by his step-mother, Mrs.
Robert Adams, Sr., and his step Sis
ter, Mrs. Charles Moran. of New York.
Counsel for H Carlton Adams told
the court he would show that Con-
gresham Adams had appropriated to
his own use $4,000 worth of bonds be-
longing to the estate Of Robert Adams,
Sr., and to H. Carlton Adams. 1t was
stated the congressman and H. Carl
ton Adams had keys to a safe deposit
box in which the alleged missing bonds
had been kept and he as far back as
five years ago, II. Carbon Adams dis
covered that Pennsylvania Canal bonds
were missing He notified his brother
Robert, and the matter was fixed up.
Subsequently H. Carlton Adams con-
dition became such that he could not
attend to business and matters were
left in the hands of the Congressman
A broker testifies that Congressman
Adams had pledged Pennsylvania
OF
loan of $4,000. Of the remaining bonds
valued at about 100000, no trace has
been found.
In proof of his assertion the attor-
ney for H. Carlton Adams produced In
court a letter from the suicide con-
gresham, written in Washington the
day he ended his life, in which he said
he was sorry he had caused mess
and urged that H. Carlton Adams be
not held responsible for any securities
that mi cht be missed

Stand Pat" Only Another Name
for Dry Rot.
STATUS OF REPUBLICAN PARTY
Accustomed to Limitless Powers il has
Drifted into Complete Paralysis.
Stands Helpless Before the Problems
OF the Present and the Retribution
OF the Future.

Washington, January 16.-'@The
tice, with which it is synonymous, as
indestructible as truth for which il
stands" was the key note of a speech
made today in the house by Mr.. Shep-
pard Of Texas. For an hour and half
Mr.. Sheppard held the attention of the
house while it had under considera-
tion the District of Columbia appro-
priatiOn bill.
Incident to his coming out for Bryan
for the democratic nomination of 1908
Mr.. Sheppard paid his compliments to
the republican party and especially to
the ''standpatters".
Speaking Of the stand pat prin-
ciple of the republican party, he said:
Accustomed to limitless and per-
petual power the republican party has
drifted into a complete paralysis, a
hopeless inertia. Stand pat is merely
another expression for dry rot. Swol-
len with the spoils of Office, corpulent
with the wine of power, distended with
the dropsy Of corruption, the republi-
can party drags it's huge inflated body
across the halls state helpless
among the trophies of the past, before
the problems of the present and the
retributiOn of the future, while it's
coward lips wall out stand paH, stand
pat, stand pat although the piliage
of the people never ceases stand pat
although the wealth Of the republic
is by a ruthless tariff law transferred
from the millions who support to the
masters who exploit it: stand pat
although the republican party refuses
to tighten the tariff taxes which it first
imposed as a temporary burden in the
years of war to double and redOuble
as a permanent tyranny in the years
of peace stand pat, although the tariff
law itself provides for a reduction Of
it's charges; stand pat, although the
enormous rates incite the antagOnism
of the old world and imperil our for
eign trade; stand pat although Nc
Kinley pleaded firm the doorstep of
the grave for lower tariffs; stand pat ',
although patriotic republicans Of
Massachusetts,, Iowa and all the coun-
try united in the general prayer for
less oppressive schedules; stand pat ,
although our loftiest principles, the
very soul of the republic, the principles
in the name of which our country was
consecrated in the blood and tears Of
patriots has been abandoned in repub-
lican policies abroad; stand pat, al
though the currency situation is black
with impendent danger; stand pat !,
although the expenditures Of the re-
publics monies has become a riotous
dissipation, wantOn waste.

professional men are dead or injured.
The negroes are looting .Ghastly
scenes are being witnessed. All the

all other corporations, as for example

the law as it stand taxing banks was
a clear violation of the constitution.
The nonresident is paid for by the
bank but this comes out of the funIs
of the residents, and the latter pay
additional tax. The bank pays for all,
and under the national banking act the
state is allowed to tax non-residents,
in the place where the banks is loca,-
ed, and places the nonresident share
holder on the same footing as the re-
sident ones.
