BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How Young Board of Trade President

How Young Board of Trade President
 Made Good" With the People.
 Systematic town boosting Is fea ture of American business activity which aims at the general good instead of personal profit One western town had board of trade which had slept, along for years without doing anything in particular. except eating some fool once a year at q banquet and listening to some spread eagle oratory, says the Pittsburg Dispatch The organiZa tiou became moribund. and its presidency was m honor DO longer sought for The directors met and gave the place to a young man Of the type i've like tc encourage" The young man took his Job seriously and went to work. II wasn't long before he grew an Idea Of his own
 Every family that moved to town he spotted Employment was provided for the breadwinners where necessary and the new people were made to fee at home. When this personal atten ton had got in it's work, representa- tive of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family. This in. terview was incorporated into letter; mimeograph copies were made, put into stamped envelopes and made ready to mail. Then the letters were taken 10 the newcomer. and he was asked to address them to his friends "back east" The scheme worked like magic, and the population boomed. Of that idea many new ones were born. The young man has been several times re- elected president of the board of trade and he can have anything the people of that town can give him.

CLEVELAND'S GOLDEN RULE.
By EDWIN A. ME.
Copyright. 1905 by Edwin A. E...

CLEVELAND'S GOLDEN RULE.
 In Cleveland O.. a man is treated as if he were human being even though he gets drunk.
 Elsewhere the man who lapses into liquor is treated as if he were a brute. In Cleveland the procedure of the ages has been changed. Men may get drunk and even disturb the peace and still be treated as men. They are seldom arrested. And if arrested they are treated as citizens.
 In Cleveland intoxicated persons are taken or sent home. just as they would be taken care of if they were i'll. They ARE ill. If confined at al' it is for the purpose of protecting their lives and property until they recover.
 What stride that is in the direction of humanitaria nism.
 There is no dragging of .'culprits" into police court unless distinct crime has been committed. And even in the latter case d waiver of trial may be signed without appearance in court
 Figure the saving to the city alone time of the court and it's attaches wit ness fees, wear and tear of court ma chinery and dollars paid to shyster law yers for defense
 In other cities men who go wrong are not encouraged to reform. They are discouraged. maltreated-a course of treatment that MAKES HABIT UAL CRIMINALS.
 What is the result of the Cleveland regime?
 Statistics show that there is less crime to the population than in any other city of the world and constantly decreasing. This is true: S The criminal system of this country is more than a hundred years behind the times, and the historian who writes of the first part of the twen- tieth century will blister the page that tells of our present barbarism.
 What right has society to abuse and incarcerate the unfortunate victim of drink?
 We license the saloon keeper to make him drunk. He is weak He is men, tally and physically diseased In most instances HE CANNOT HELP GET TING DRUNK. Then we. in the per son of q policeman. hit him over the head with club and drag him to a vile jail Could more inhumane treat ment be invented?
 We have made practically no ad vance in the PREVENTION of crime, in so far as our criminal procedure is concerned. in hundred years. We know nothing but PUNISHMENT.
 The city of Cleveland has quit the methods of the Old Testament-the old old system that came in with the beginning of civilization - a.d has adopted the methods and spirit of the New Testament.
 Cleveland is practicing the Golden Rule

School Gardens Create Taste.

It is particularly pleas ing to those most deeply interested l. note how universal is becoming t',a demand for school gardens Reform i" many branches of public Improvement would be far easier of accomplishment now had the children of the previous. generation been trained In the fund.-

The more we consider the curriculum of our pub llc schools. the more we perceive how 1t could be improved to meet the chang Ing conditions of our American life Our children need far more than the three R's to fit them for citizenship as 1t Is drawing upon us. The atmosphere and appurtenances of the schoolroonl should tend to impart culture and taste. which In turn are transferred to the home and thus minister to the gen, eral upbullding One of the surest and best ways to accomplish this greatest good to both school and home Is to carry at times the schoolroom (dgura dvely. at leasD out into the pure and elevating atmosphere and influence ot the school garden

v. w. Sander Home From Eastern

Business conditions in the east

men are satisfied that William H.
Taft will be elected, and buying in all
lines is heavy" That was the state
ment Of ". w. Sander, president and
principal owner of the Idaho Mer-
camille company, who returned last
evening from visit to his old home
in Iowa, and from business visit to
Rochester, Chicago, and other east
ern cities.
Continuing. he said, II was sur
prised when / arrived at Chicago to
find so many buyers. The buying is
unusually done earlier than now, and
when found the markets crowded
with buyers / set about to ascertain
the cause. An investigation disclosed
that in the early part of the cam
paign, when it seemed doubtful as
to whether Bryan or Taft was to
be elected, the business men were
delaying their buying until a time
when they would know with some
degree of certainty as to how the
election would go. The general inn
preston in the east now prevails
that Taft will be the next president,
and so confident are the business
men of it, that they are looking to
an era of prosperity and trade, and
are accordingly buying in the antici-
patton of it. l personally think that
there is no doubt that Taft will be
elected.

SAYS RAILROAD TOOK TIMBER
Lee Setser, in Answer at Wallace
Asks S11,25O Damages.

WALLACE, Idaho, Oct. IA
Claiming the he is a man Of but lit
tie education; that he has only been
to school two months in his life, and
that this fact was taken advantage of
to his detriment, Lee Setser has filed
answers to the suit brought against
him and Samuel Williams by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
road company. The suit was origi-
nally brought by the company to pre-
vent Setser from interfering with the
construction work in the st. Joe
country.
Setser claims the eompany's agent
induced him to sign an option for a
250-fOot strip and that the company
proceeded to cut from a strip OF not
less than 400 feet. When he went
TO see about this. the company Is
said to have told him that Il was
forced to take this action on account
Of the fact that the land in question
was situated within the limits Of the
forest reserve. He claims that the
value Of the timber cut from the
ground was not less than $3.50 and
petitions that be be awarded dam
ages in three times this amount.

EPISCOPAL MIN MEET
Annual Convention Of brotherhood
81 Sc. Audrey.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. H.
Men allied with the Protestant Epis.
copal church from al over the United
States and from Canada are gathered
in the Cream City today at the open
ing Of the 23th annual convention
of the Brotherhood OF st. Andrew.
This is the first time Milwaukee has
ever been called upon to entertain the
brotherhood. and the churchmen OF
the city have combined to make the
convention a red letter one in the his
tory OF the society. Several bishops
of the Episcopalian church. some OF
them of international renown, will
speak before the sessions, which Will
extend through the week, closing
next Sunday.
MONDAY public meetings will be
held each day during the convention,
the purpose OF which is to aid in
leaving the impress of the conven-
tions upon the city. These meetings
will be from 1890 to 1855 on each
convention day, and they will be held
in one of the downtown theaters.
Some man of national repute will
each day be the speaker. a different
man each day, and besides the adj
dresses there will be a few hymns
and prayers.
The history OF brotherhood con-
ventions has been that they have re-
suited in great spiritual uplift for
the church and for churchmen in the
vicinities in which they have been
held. The advantage. however, has
not been derived alone by the city
or diocese in which conventions have
been held. The delegates return
ing from these conventions each year
have put new life into the church ON
every side.
Among the bishops on the program
for addresses are Anderson of Chica-
go, Williams of Nebraska, Webb Of
Milwaukee, Brent of the Philippines,
Rowe Of Alaska, Weller of Fond du-
Lac, and Woodcock, of Kentucky.
Other speakers include Herbert
Carleton, the brotherhood's general
secretary; Robert H. Gardiner, its
president; James l.. Houghtaling
its founder, and John w. Wood, cor
responding secretary of the Epis-
copa1 Board of Missions.

FIRST YEAR HIGH SCHOOL
Department to BE Added to the
Huetter School.


Huetter School.
A first year high school department
is to be added to the Huetter school
according to a decision of the school
board, and superintendent II. H. Bar
ton. This plan was decided upon ow-
ing to the fact that there are many
residents in Huetter and vicinity who
are ready for work in this year, but
who are unable to avail themselves
of it, because of the great distance
to be travelled in reaching the high
school of the city. Professor Hubert
Kline of Illinois will have charge of
the school. Miss Nellie Dawson, who
has been an instructor in this school
has been transferred to the Park
school, and will have charge of the
fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
The team to debate with the South
side high school at Spokane on De-
cember A, has been selected, and is
now busy preparing for the debate.
The debaters are Earl Shoup. Ed
Waite, Dwight Leeper and Irene
Clark, alternate. The Occur d'Alene
high school is a member of the North
Idaho Debating league, and the de-
baters are looking forward to an ex-
cellent series of debates with the
teams representing the various
schools outside the league. The high
schools composing the league are
Standpoint, Wallace, Mullan, Kellogg
and Wardner. The question to be
debated with the Spokane team is,
resolved: THAT labor unions are
justified in employing all legal means
to maintain a closed shop"
