A Japanese railroad laborer
spit on the American flag at Los
Angeles recently and came near
to getting mobbed for his action.
The Japanese high officials are
declaring their love for this
country from the housetops
while the ordinary Japs are
losing no opportunity to show
their disrespect. In this way
trouble is liable to arise before
long and it may be necessary for
Uncle Sam to soundly spank the
little yellow man to make him be
good. Like all children he has
acquired a bad case of swell head
from his victory over the Russian
bear but a Yankee plaster prop
erly applied will reduce the
swelling in short order.

Perjury charges have been
filed against several of the wit
nesses for the defense in the
Haywood trial at Boise and it
would seem, with the defense
trying to prove Orchard a liar
and the prosecution trying to
prove the witnesses for the de-
tense to be liars, the question OF
getting an honest conviction or
acquittal will be a serious one.
The only point of the case not
resting under a cloud is the fact
that Steunenberg was murdered.

One knocker is more danger to
a town than many suppose.
There are always people in every
town who wait to see what the
rest do whenever a public enter
prise of any kind is preached.
Many of these will fall into line
and do their share when they see
others aiding the project but let
the chronic ''knocker" come
along and throw out a few in
situations and they are at once
ready to turn down the good
judgement of the progressive
citizens and listen to the quak-
ings of the sore head" It is
not so much what the "knocker"
can do for himself but the in
fuence he exerts over the listless
and timid people that hurts his
town. If the knockers" in
every town would keep their
croakings to themselves instead
of peddling them wholesale to
their neighbors public enterprises
would be carried on much more
smoothly and much less trouble
and dissatisfaction engendered.

Aid that water system all you
can and as soon as it is put in we
can take up the needed work of
macadamizing Main and King
streets through the center of
town. It is such local improve
ments of this kind that cause a
town to be known abroad and
recognized as a place worth tying
to. No town ever attracted out
side capital when it's own citizens
did not have faith in it.

FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1907.

The constant worker is the
man who makes the money, and
the constant advertiser is the
one who reaps the trade. Ad-
vertising by spurts is poor policy
and cannot be expected to &C
complish as much as hard, steady
hammering.

The Peculiar Eriast. Bird.

The frigate bird is native Of trop-
ical seas and rarely comes to land ex-
cept during the breeding season. 1t
has the habit, unusual among sea birds.
Of nesting In trees, large companies Of
them building together in the tops OF
the tallest mangroves. Like the cor.
morant and the albatross, the frigate
bird lays but one egg. 1t lives by fish
ing and also by robbing other fishers
Of what they have caught. In plumage
the frigate bird is brownlsh black, with
metallic green and purple reflections.
The dilatable throat sac IN the male Is
of bright scarlet, while the female, Of a
duller general hue, has a white patch
on the breast. 1t is a beautiful sight
to watch one or more floating overhead
against the deep blue sky, the long
forked tail alternately opening and
shutting like pair of scissors and the
head, which Is, Of course, kept to wind
ward, inclined from side to side, while
the wings are to all appearance fixedly
extended, though the breeze may be
constantly varying In strength and d.
rection.

Great and mystically dreadful is the

emy In the gas, II the huge fanwheel

An Egyptian Custom.

More than 1000 years ago Herodotus
observed a remarkable custom In
Egypt. At certain season Of the
year the Egyptians went into the des.
ert, cut or branches from the wild
palm and, bringing them back to their
gardens, waved them over the flowers
Of the date palm. Why they performed
this ceremony they did not know, but
they knew that II they neglected It
the date crop would be poor or wholly
lost. Herodotus offers the quaint
explanation that along with these
branches there came from the desert
certain flies possessed Of "vivifv vir-
tue" which somehow lent an exuber-
ant fertility to the dates. But the true
rationale to the incarnation Is now ex-
planned. Palm trees, like human be-
ings, are male and female. The garden
plants, the date bearers, were females,
the desert plants were males, and the
waving OF the branches over the fe-,
males meant the transference Of the
fertilizing pollen from the one to the
other.

and days ago-ended on Friday evening
last with the disagreement and discharge OF
the jury. On the final ballot the Jurors
stood seven for murder in the first degree
and five for acquittal on the ground of in
sanity Four OF the latter had been firm
for their contention from the very first.
There was an effort at compromise on
manslaughter In the first degree, but the
men who believed ThgW insane refused to
hear to it, When the jurors came in and
announced their disagreement they had
been in almost continuous elaboration AZ
hours and 8 minutes, and Justice Fitzgerald
recognizing the hopelessness Of getting a
verdict, promptly discharged them. Thaw
was remanded TO the Tombs without bail to
await second trial. When this new trial
would take place, no one connected with
the case could express an opinion.
