the Standard Oil company by
paying five cents gallon adj
vance price for oil, or two cents
above the old price.
This incident would be used by
many to show the destructive
methods of the Standard Oil
company, but unfortunately
there is another side to the
argument. The Standard Oil
company could never have at
tanned the position it holds today
had not the people all over the
land, in their anxiety to save a
few paltry pennies, forgot how
little it meant to them-and how
much it meant to their dealer.
The Standard Oil company,
understanding the cupidity Of
the people, saw the chance to
profit by it and in so doing justly
fell under the ban of the criminal
law. Now, this is not written
to palliate the evil deeds of the
Standard Oil company, but to
point out where we, in our penny
wise and pound foolishness, open
wide the gate for rascality to
enter and get in its unlawful
work. Business men should also
be honest with each other, and
work for the interest of their
clientele, which is not always the
case. For instance, Smith is
doing a good business, as also is
Jones on the next street, but
Jones is not satisfied to let Smith
do as paying a business as he
seems to be. So he, like the
Standard Oil company remem-
bers the cupidity of customers,
and puts out leader to draw
suckers, and if he succeeds in
drawing to himself some of
Smiths custom he has only sue
ceeded in doing Smith an injury
and an injustice.
A few years ago good friend
of mine purchased of certain
firm suit of clothes for which
he paid fifteen dollars. This
suit had been selected by the
proprietor, as the purchaser was
not a Judge Of clothes. My friend
was well pleased with the suit,
until one day month or so
later, in passing the store his
amazement can be imagined when
he saw stretched over dummy a
facsimile of his suit and on it a
card reading thus: This suit for
S4.99
No one would ever be able to
make my friend believe but what
he was badly swindled on the
price of that suit.
Can it be possible that of all
that dwell upon the earth, only
man is vile. Oh that the day
may dawn when all may recog-
nize the "fatherhood of God,
and the brotherhood OF man"
when all will follow the golden
rule. Can it be that the time
will come when all will deal
justly and love mercy? Yes! O,
yes, when Satan HES himself
to regions down below, Where
Ice and Coal trusts stand no
earthly show, Where votary's for
greed find ample room, And all
dishonest combines meet their
doom. Where hobby-horses with
their riders take to flight, Like
some weird phantom swiftly pas
sing in the night, When all dis
graceful dealings, perverse ways,
All viCiousness that human heart
displays Start down the Shoot
where all other crimes have gone,
WHAT THEN IS LEFT may look
for the millenial dawn.

BIG CIRCUS AT BOISE.
Barrum and Bailey Show to Ex-
hibit There August 9Th.


II is q pleasure to announce
the {a:t that on August 8 the
Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth will give two
performances in Boise, thus at
fording an opportunity to the
people of this city to visit the
greatest amusement enterprise
the world has ever known.
For fifty-four years the Bar
mum and Bailey show has led
the world in all matters per
tanning to big amusements.
There is not a country on earth
where it is not as well known
as in America, nor a city of any
size in the world where its
mammoth tents have not been
pitched. Royalty has applaud
ed it and the peasantry has
marveled at it, and all the
world, civilized and savage, has
contributed to its multiplicity
of attractions,
The spirit of its great foun-
der, one of the most wonderful
men in all history, P. I. Bar
nun, still lives in the policy Of
the present management, while
the perfect system put into
operation by the great James
A. Bailey, is still in operation.
This season the show is much
larger than ever before, and
additional interest attaches to
it because the parade, a feature
which has for several years
been missing, is again in its
customary place.
For four years artists, sculp-
tors and mechanics have been
working day and night at the
foreign workshops of the show
at Stock-on-Trent, England,
building this great street pa
geant, and the result of their
labors now is expressing itself
in the most costly and longest
street parade that ever passed
through the streets OF any city.
The program in the great ex-
hibition tent opens with a new
spectacle. The acts that fol-
low are all European and OF
great novelty and variety. OF
the 375 performers, nearly 300
never toured America before.
The climax of the bill is the
most daring and awful exhibit
ton of nerve and death daring
ever attempted. The act is
called "Autos that pass in the
air. AS the name briefly ex-.
plains, it is the passing of two
automobiles high above the
heads of the people, while leap
ing a 50-foot gap. The veloci-
ty is gained by a lightning-like
dash down a steep incline, one

ENTIRE CITY INTERESTED
IN YOUNG man
Cooper's New Theory Attracts Widespread
Attention During Stay in Cincinnati.

An adequate idea Of the intense in.
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr.. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper was introducing his ideas to
the people Of that city. The article
says: "The beginning of Mr.. Cooper's
second week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
cities.
'.From the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead.
lily increased, until now it has reached
a point where several thousand talk
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested in his
theory that the human stomach is
degenerate, and he already has an
army of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims are cor.
rect.
"A number of Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their intense faith
In Cooper's preparations, were secured
The following are selected from these
statements and are characteristic OF
them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson of 63O

stipation for a year, or so. When

his continued relations with the Baron

his interest in this woman that the
prince was punished eighteen months
ago by being sent out to join the Ger

Africa
The Baroness Liebenberg was at
one time an actress and played in the

dull pain in the lower part of my back.
I have taken almost one bottle of the
New Discovery and am so wonderfully
improved that I have come down here
to thank Mr.. Cooper in person and OBJ
tain more Of the medicine.
Another individual interviewed was
Mr. ). H. Brooks, living at SGT Walnut
street, who had the following to say:
For the past eighteen months I have
been a constant sufferer from catarrh
Of the head and stomach. My nasal
passages would become infamed and
sore. I4would have severe headaches,
which affected my eyes, and great
crusts of matter would drop into the
throat, causing an irritation of the
bronchial passages, until the stomach
finally became poisoned. When would
lay down at night a phlegm would
gather in my throat until it almost
choked me, and would cause an an
noying cough. Half bottle Of
Cooper's New Discovery gave me re-
lief. and when the first bottle was fin
ished I felt like a new man. I am
now completely cured and consider
Cooper's New Discovery the greatest
catarrh, blood and stomach remedy in
the world" .jtz.,.@
The Cooper preparations have been
wonderfully successful throughout the
United States. We consider them re-
markable medicines and would be
pleased to explain the nature Of them.

THE MOTTO GOES BACK,

The motto is to 60 back" and
the gold and silver coins of the
country again will declare-to those
who chance to notice that In God
we trust" A great many persons of
strong religious sentiment will feel
that this is again a Christian coun-
try and that the faith of our fathers
is with us still. And since the
presence of the motto will comfort
many and offend few, it would ap-
pear that Congress has acted wisely.
And yet the President was actu-
ated by none but worthy motives in
ordering the words omitted from
the latest money to come from the
mint. His arguments, too, found
not a few supporters. The mis-
take, if mistake there was, lay in at
tracing general notice to his action
and arousing heated, if not bitter.
argument, in which the chronic 3D.
ponentS of Mr.. Roosevelt gladly
joined to make his act an admins
tration issue.
1t would be comforting to be-
lieve that the determination again
to inscribe all the metal money of
the country with the ennobling SEN
timent would quicken the public
conscience and bring a return to the
more practical piety of earlier DAYS
in the republic. Perphaps it will.
The feelings of the people have
been deeply stirred of late. Better
moral sentiment is sweeping steadily
onward, divorce is discredited, and
we are growing more and more to
demand integrity in office and
morality in private life. If Ameri-
cans will live up to the sentiment
which they desire their coins shall
express, many of the ominous clouds
which now seem to darken the fu-
ture will be cleared away.
