A Turkey Gobbler the Proud Pos
SCISSOR of Ten Contented Chicks

bound to "set" he just as well do the
job right, so fifteen hens eggs were
placed under him, and in due course
of time ten downy chicks were hatched
out, the gobbler at once accepting the
responsibility of their care as though
nature had intended him for that duty.
One day, when a second gobbler ap-
peared on the scene, a pitched battle
ensued, and when the intruder was
vanquished, the first gobbler gathered
hf ten together and paraded away,
sweled up with pride and vanity.

A turkey gobbler strutting proudly
around with a following of ten salts
fed chicks is the novel spectacle seen
at the Felix Nichols place near town,
the gobbler having taken upon himself
the duties of the household without un-
due or unwarranted influence from the
outside. The gobbler first felt the
call to enlist himself in the Roosevelt
ian army that is waging war on race
suicide some five weeks ago, and at
that time was confning his attentions
to solitary turkey egg. Mr. Nichols
decided that as long as the gobbler was

past; his unassuming democratic man
ner and close touch with the rank and
file of the citizenship of this state, and
his answering loyalty to the Republi-
can party and its best principles, com
bine, in our judgment, to make him
the strongest candidate that can pos
sibly be named at this time. We urge
not only our fellow newspaper workers
throughout the state, but all citizens
favorable to good government and the
best interests of the state, to JOIN with
US in, supporting and promoting his
candidacy at the primaries on the 8th
of next September, feeling assured
that his success then will be equiva-
lent to the election in November. -
The following resolution endorsing
the candidacy of H. M. Boone, for
congress, was adopted by the editors
from this county;
The delegates from Whitman coun-
ty, in this meeting, unite in endorsing
the candidacy of H. NJ. Boone for the
Republican nomination for congress for
the Third congressional district. He
is one of our foremost citizens, and we
feel assured that his success at the
September primaries will conserve the
best interests of the state, and we
pledge him our loyal support and urge
his candidacy for favorable considera-
tion throughout the district His work
for Whitman county and the state of
Washington as a member of the state
senate marked him as a capable and
able champion of the peoples rights,
and we take special pride in support
ing him for the high honor of repre-
senting this state in the national con-
gress.

lative Race in this District

two are entered. Hugh Todd, of Col
fax. and NJ. W. Whitlow, of Pullman,
being the only aspirants at this time.
There is no senator to elect from this
district this fall, Peter McGregor be-
ing a hold over senator.
The seventh legislative district is
normally republican, but dissension in
the party of late years has thrown a
number of republican votes to 'one or
the other of the democratic nominees,
resulting in the election of one repub-
.lican and one democrat, hence the in
terest that attaches to the election.

means further that the railways and
public service corporations can not de-
mand reduction in assessments as
such corporations had hoped. 1t was
the admitted purpose of such corpora
tions to show before the state board of
equalization by bank statements, rec
ords of bond issues, mortgages, etc.
that probably not per cent Of moneys
and credits were asse sed on the tax
rolls, and to demand under the law
that public service corporations be
taxed like all other property and that
assessments should be reduced approx
imately 95 per cent.
Although Easterday was father Of
the law, the two other tax commits
sioners this spring issued directions to
the assessors of all counties to ignore
the law and assess moneys and credits
These directions were given after the
regular assessment was practically
completed, and to do the work meant
large expense. About half of the
counties made the supplementary as
sessment, which, of course, is now
worthless.
The decision was written by Chief
Justice Hadley and concurred in by
Justices Crow. Mount, Rudkin and
Dunbar. Justice Fullerton filed a long
dissenting opinion. Justice Root is i'll
and was unable to sign a decision.

tion Scientist could not be more immune
There is no doing anything with an OPP

do is to let him alone or else work with
him instead of against him.
This control Of body and Of mind makes
it possible for Judge Taft TO be always
busy, yet never exhausted. He knows
what fatigue Is. naturally. but he knows
how to rest He devOtes to resting the
same intelligent understanding that he
gives to work lie Is master in this. too.
His pleasures. too, his recreations, do not
control him; he controls them. He has
studied them and knows when TO partake
and when TO abstain.

scheme Of living. as are his long walks
and his riding. lie rides rather than
drives. because of the stimulation. II

to play them worthily is not Judge Taft's

doubted If anyone since the days Of Ma

This control system. acquired in early

into such position successfully but a
