1t is alleged that Harry Orchard is a
liar. Twice has jury so declared,
and twice has jury refused to convict
those implicated by the confession of
Orchard. If Orchard told the truth,
and the News believes he did, believes
it because two Of the best lawyers in
the United States, after hours OF hard
labor, and all the testimony they could
muster, failed to impeach or even to
contradict him, then we are not ready
to accept the verdict OF those iuries
as conclusive evidence that Orchard is
a liar, and that mo faint Of suspicion
lies against the accused and the organ
izaton. But the jury declared that
Orchard lied. And on that presump-
ton they turned Haywood and Petit
bone loose. If the jury is correct then
Orchard ought to be turned loose, for
he has lied about himself. By their
verdict they have acquitted Orchard.
But the News believes Orchard did not
lie.

Uncle Sam Saws PAY Up.

By order OF Uncle Sam there will be
no more credit in the newspaper bust
ness. Papers one year in arrears must
be discontinued. Failure TO comply
means forfeiture Of the use Of the mails
to the publisher. Therefore, if you
want a paper you must pay for 1t. II
the editor insists on cash remember
that it isn't because he needs the
money, but because editors are law
abiding and will not take any chance
on getting into Jail. The News in
tends to comply with the law. Those
over a year in arrears will be dropped
from the list, and settle for money due
must be made or suit instituted. This
is the only recourse now for the pub
Usher. If you are compelled to pay
costs don't blame the editor. Just
pay up.

OFFICIAL VILLAGE PAPER.
BIDDING FOR VOTES.

The most dangerous, and at the same
time the most despicable figure in
American politics is the professional
office-seeker. There is apparently
nothing he will not do if the doing is
but the means to an end, and that end
his retention in Office. AS an example
Of this let US reproduce a portion Of an
article published in the Idaho Scimitar
Of January II, this year. Mr.. Dubois,
in reviewing the recent conspiracy
cases, says:
The end having finally been
reached, Messrs. Haywood, Pettibone,
and Meyer have been discharged with
no faint of suspicion upon them or
upon the organization they represent"
What do the citizens Of Idaho think
Of this? No faint Of suspicion upon
them or the organization they repre-
sentl" Yet the facts are that there
never was a time when there was
more suspicion in the public mind
than at this very time; never time
when the public was so thoroughly
convinced of the guilty knowledge and
criminal purposes OF the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners. Go talk with the
people of Idaho and find out what pub
lie opinion is, Mr.. Dubois, before you
assume to speak for the people Of your
state. Personally you have the right
to think as you please, to apologize
and excuse, or to applaud, but you
have no right to speak for thousands Of
other citizens who honestly believe that
the ground for suspicion against the
Western Federation and its officers is,
in the light Of the facts brought out at
the trials, stronger today than ever.
But between the great mass Of the
people, only interested as they are in
good government, and an office-seeker
bidding for votes, as is Fred T. Du-
Dubois, one might expect the latter
to disgrace his state and insult the
citizenship Of the commonwealth. His
efforts to swap soft soap for Western
Federation votes will cost him a lot OF
democratic votes, for democrats, at
least here in Latah county, are not yet
ready to give the Western Federation
a clearance card OF clean character.

There is growing realization that
there is entirely too much sympathy
wasted in this country on criminals.
In fact, it has come to the point where
it is almost impossible to convict a
criminal Of any crime. The law per-
mits every excuse and allows every con-
ceivable technically and delay that
adroit and tricky lawyers can raise,
with the result that Justice is a poor,
crippled, helpless imitation of what it
ought to be. Anger an uncomfortable
temper are now valid excuse under the
name Of "brain-storm," or temporary
insanity" or a dozen other senseless
things. To add to the shame of it all,
we have jury system, the results of
which no man dare even surmise.
Our law eliminates all men capable of
rendering anything like an intelligent
and fair verdict, turning the most i'm
portant cases over to those least
capable Of weighing and deciding
them. AS people we ought to be
ashamed Of ourselves. We are a dis
grace to civilization. And unless
halt is called and some reformation
brought about our boosted life and
property right will become a by-word.
We have gone the limit. No man
who has watched the recent trend of af-
fairs can say the time for reformation is
not at hand.

THE NAN BEHIND THE GUN.
only Recently Did He Become of Ina.

Only Recently Did He Become of Ina
portance in the Navy.
1t Is only in recent years, says a
United States ordnance officer, that the
training Of our navy men in marks
manship received adequate attention.
But since the Spanish-Amerfcan war
the improvement in craftsmanship has
been enormous, and now the man be
hind the gun Is recognized as the most
important factor in the efficiency Of a
war vessel. Now, too, everything gives
way to target practice and the ono
thing that a commander is more inter
ssted In than anything else Is the rec
ord that his men can score at the
ranges.
But, just to Illustrate the difference
between the old days and now. I was
Junior officer on the Essex many years
ago. In those days we had target prac-
tic once 4 quarter-were forced by
regulations to expend so many rounds
Of ammunition every three months,
and, well, that was about all there was
to 1t. 1t was a ~perfunctory kind Of
practice, and every one was glad when
1t was over.
One day we went out for the quar-
terly practice, anchored the target and
went at 1t, anxious to have it over.
The targets we used in those days were
three planks fastened in a triangle, a
spar stepped in the center to hold tho
canvas which formed the target proper.
Now, the gun captain Of the forward
pivot rife was an excellent m~arksman,
and on his first trial he sent a shell
through the spar, smashing it to din-
ders. That, Of course, stopped the
practice, and out went a boat to tow
the wrecked target alongside for re-
pairs. When it had been fixed up it
was towed back to Its place and the
firing resumed. Again the same gun
Aer had the first shot, and again his
shell brought Town spar and canvas.
The boat was again sent out, and the
repaired target was being towed back
to the range, when the captain, VINO
had been put so much out Of humor
BY the delay, sent word to the gun cap
tain that ii he hit that target again
he would put him in the brig.

The Evolution Of

old-time household remedies.
In tie early history Of this country.
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME.

Bitter, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found IN almost every house, compound.

BY tho apotheca1y or the family doctor.

Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A

remedies were thus compounded, tho

from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
| Tho patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole.

ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm.
pressed by the usefulness Of n Of
these homemade remedies, would take
It up, improve it in many ways, manu-.
facturs it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over q
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE

A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
l Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is Of Men
monte origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur.
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, cold1
sore throat, brerebitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARHED THR
USE OF PERUNA and its value in tho
treatment Of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's Judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

that if the formal invite were sent, we
would receive as formal a denial so 1

then dress, and having thrown a cloak
over your ballroom s%plendor, open the
door, steal down stairs and find your
way into the grounds. I will meet you
under that great chestnut close to the

to the door which opens into Wood Lane.
There I will have a carriage waiting, and
a lady chaperon, who will enter the BALI
