GEO. FRED WILLIAMS
OF MASSACHUSETTS
Spoke in the Court House in
Colfax Monday Night.
Speiibinder Let's Loose the Burden
Of His Wrath on the Head Of the
President Silent in Regard TO
Haskell and Standard Oil.

The 40 called spellbinder, George Fred
Williams OF Massachusetts, spoke in Col
lax Monday night, a large audience
greeting him at the court house. The
ColtaX band played several pieces in front
Of Hotel Colfax, and preceded the crowd
TO the court house, where they also play
ed several selections Robert l.. Nc
Croskey called the meeting to order. He
said it was q long distance from Ply
mouth Rock to the shores Of the Pacific.
" Tonight we have with us one of the
most distinguished citizens of Massachu-
sets, gentleman of national reputa-
ton, who will address you" and forth
with the chairman introduced Mr..
Williams.
MIR. Williams is man of fine presence
still in the prime of life, albeit he has
been in the public gaze for many years
lie il deliberate in address, puncturing
word or sentence here and there to give
it emphasis, critical rather than pro-
found. There will probably be differ
ence OF opinion in regard to the effective
ness OF his address, some expressing
themselves one way, others the direct
opposite. The audience, however, was
attentive, Mr.. Williams partisans giving
him liberal applause when he raped his
political opponents particularly hard.
And his opponents, embracing fully two
thirds of the audience, taking without
protest all illusions to past history and
present purposes.
Mr.. Williams served one term in con-
gress, being O member Of that body at
the same time Mr. Bryan was. He be
gan his political career as a mugwump
tie tOyed with pOpulism during the dark
days when pOpulists were mighty in the
land. Free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at 16 TO looked good to him, and
that he should now be an enthusiastic
supporter of Bryan and any and every
thing he may advocate is but the natural
evolution from one political belief to an
other. Those posted in political history
can pretty accurately Judge the nature Of
his remarks.

The ca. bout II inches in length,

A thought enters here The Palouse
is known throughout the land as a great
wheat country; that ia, we have devoted
our attention so exclusively to wheat
that many other things in the agricul-
tural line have been neglected. Further
more, ft is the custom to summer fallOw,
allowing the land to rest one year and
to be cultivated for wheat the next
season. 1t is thus necessary for the
wheat raiser in order to cultivate 100
acres each year to own and prepare 200
acres Of land. Wouldn't it be better, in
stead Of following altogether the sum
mer fallOw process to adopt the rotation
Of crops, planting wheat one year, the
next putting in corn, potatoes and other
crops, returning to wheat again the fol
lowing season? The experiment station
at the Washington State College has
demonstrated that the humus in the
ground is gradually burnt out by the
action Of the sun in summer fallOw land,
there being no vegetation Of any kind to
protect the soil from the SUMS rays, ea
is the case when crops are growing.
Why not adopt the methods of Mr..
Arrasmith and plant corn?

he commenced biz address by a severe
arraignment of President Roosevelt,
everything he has done and il irving to
DO. From hiz point of view President
Roosevelt il not exactly the man the
American people have been led TO believe
he was. Mr.. Williams was silent. how
ever, why he and Bryan and all the dem.

Roosevelt 4 few weeks ago, claiming that
they were following IN his footsteps and
Bryan was the rightful heir 10 the suc-

when the order came from Mr.. Brvan to
criticise and condemn, which created
quite q stir among the faithful for the
time being. The reason for this WAS
soon revealed. 1t developed that Stand
ard Oil is doing its best in an under
handed way to deliver the electoral votes
Of Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia 10
Bryan and Kern. These are the states
where Standard Oil property interests
mostly center, where they employ thou-
sands Of men, and if the votes Of these
states can BE- delivered To the Nebraskan
they hope To elect him. Standard Oil ia
tired of the prosecutions the president
has directed against them, as well az
fearful Of the course Mr.. Taft ia sure to
pursue in case he il elected president. It
was noticeable Monday night that Mr..
Williams didn't have a word to say
either of Haskell or Standard Oil. a fact
that did not escape the attention of
most Of his audience. He also accused
the president Of having lOg-rolled Mr..
Taft upon the republican party as it's
candidate for president; in other words,
of having dictated the nomination,
which was unseemly and revolutionary
in its character. He lost sight OF the
fact that Jefferson, the so-calIed founder
OF the democratic party, dictated who
his successor should be, naming Madison.
and that Jackson, the father of modern
democracy dictated the nomination and
election Of his successor, naming Martin
Van Buren,. No one would ever have
thought of Van Buren, if jackson had
not picked him up. This is matter of
history.
But we have not space to follow Mr..
Williams through his speech, which was
over two hours in delivery. He made
scarcely n point that has not been pune
tured time and again by the republican
press and speakers, but the same old
grind will probably be continued until

WHAT CAN Be DONE

1t Should Be One of the Profit

The attention Of The Gazette has been

smith, whose place ID four miles east Of
COlfax, late last spring planted four
acres in corn. As all readers know the
spring was wet, cold and backward. This
was followed by exceedingly hot weather
without moisture lasting through the
entire summer, the effects Of which was
seen in our greatly shortened cereal crops
As soon as the weather permitted Mr.
Arrasmith planted four acres to corn,
which came up all right. He narrowed
the ground continually, even running the
harrow over the ground after the blades
had come up, thus allowing the moisture
beneath to reach the surface. The result
was fine crop that was a delight as
well as a source Of profit to the owner.
From that four acres OF corn he has fed
80 hogs, 4 cows, 6 horses, 3 or colts,
and still the supply is not exhausted and
his stock is being fed from the same ap-
parently inexhaustible source. He be
gan feeding when the corn was in the
roasting ear stage 1t is the intention
of MIR. Arrasmith to plant 80 acres to
corn next season, so well pleased is he
with this years results. The four acres
devoted to corn this year will be planted
to wheat this fall, the ground, from it's
frequent stirring up, being in prime con-
dition for that purpose. Specimens of
the corn raised by Mr.. Arrasmith can be
seen at the Colfax Implement Go. y store.

PECULIAR STATE OF AFFAIRS
Heating Plant at Court House in
Unfinished State.

peculiar state of affairs exists at the
court house. The new heating plant
which was contracted for last summer is
not in place at this writing, and as cool
weather is fast approaching much incOn.
venience is felt in the various county
offices on account of the change in tenn
perature. This has been regulated in
part by installing movable coal oil
stoves in most of the offices, but what
to do with the county prisoners was a
question. Judge Chadwick and Prose
cutting Attorney kipp finally concluded
TO order practically jail delivery; that
is, four prisoners were ordered released
Monday in cases where it did not seem
possible to secure evidence to convict,
and it was also decided to release the
vags and hObOes under sentence for
vagrancy, it being impossible to provide
warmth for them in the county jail 1t
was also decided to provide board at
Spokane for few prisoners it was
deemed advisable to hold for trial The
large court room was too cold to hold
court in. Judge Chadwick has been hold
ing court each day this week in a room
in the second story of Pioneer block,
where cOnveniences were at hand for
keeping warm.
The contractors for installing the heat
ing plant at the court house allege delay
on the part OF the railways in delivering
material. For example, the new boiler
to be installed was 'Hlost" for several
days between here and the east from
where it was shipped, but it reached Col
fax last week, when 10! and behold the
door and back of the boiler are said to
be missing, rendering it impossible to
incase the boiler in the brick and cement
inclosure until these parts are found.
Thus matters stand. The work is in an
unfinished state and may continue so for
some time. In the meantime the county
officials are nursing their wrath to keep
it warm" the county is put to extra ex-
pense and the public looks on in dismay.
When the job is finished it will be finished.
But when, echo answers when

paste or rhinestones which used for such a purpose. cannot possibly be detected. as they are quite as brilliant as the really bona fide jewels. Some times these diamond slides are used on dog collars of shirred maline either white, yellow, pale pink or blue as best suits the costume. This maline is not quite so becoming to the skin as the velvet. but il is decidedly more youth ful and better suited to the debutante or the girl in her second season.
 For Evening Cloaks
 The evening Cloalls are things to dream of and the most luxurious are composed entirely of fur. mink. chin chilla. caracul. broadtail, Persian lamb and ermine are all used for this pur- pose. And if one cannot afford a fur evening coat there are charming coats of black and colored broadcloths. cosi- ly lined with fur that makes ideal evening garments. This k just the time of the year to purchase furs greatly below the cost of manufacture. The January reductions at C. C.. Shayne's are taken advantage of an nually by all women who admire handsome furs and yet want 10 get them at a decided advantage.
 Everything in muffs and neckwear are on view at this reliable house. also the latest designs in mems fur lined overocats and automobile garments of every kind. For chauffeurs. there are coats of wambat bear raccoon, calf skin. etc which will undoubtedly pro- tect them in the coldest weather.
 Skirts With Pointed Trains.
 The very smartest and most up to date evening gowns are made with long skirts with pointed train CT -'tail'' effects as they are sometimes called. These trains are more often seen on dinner gowns or costumes intended for the opera than on ball toilettes. but even at d dance they have made their appearance and when managed grace fully they do not look out Of place. They are especially chic on shirts that are made with the high Empire back that is now so extremely fashionable.
 A fad that has recently sprung up is the wearing ot very light tan or champagne colored evening gloves with white dancing frocks.
 Gowns of voile and Satin Cloth Very pretty evening gowns for young girls are made of the beautiful silk voiles and trimmed with bands of satin. handsome buttons and Princess lace.
 4 white satin cloth evening dress is most beautiful. The waist is a foam of lace and quillings of the material and the skirt is cut in one of 'the graceful circular shapes.
Arizona republican., 1908-01-03
Cirectoire Gowns

Some fascinating ball frocks just imported from Paris by well known New York shop are of the picturesque Directoire type. But il is a very charming and greatly moderniZed Directoire. where the waist line. al- though still high. is much less so than last season. The skirt of such a cos tune is generally gathered at the top, but the clinging aspect remains as the materials used are always very soft and the lining absolutely without stiffness. And even the petticoat-in all cases there is but one-falls in soft trailing folds and is always as long as the dress. Greatly favored for this style of dress are the new spangled fabrics.
 Soaneles are the Rage.
 The vogue for spangles has set in very strongly and the belles, and even the elderly matrons of society are lit erally a glitter from top to toe. The spangles used for the new evening gowns are rather large and all of the some size and are worked up on lace, net or mousseline in handsome de- signs of the all over order.
 Even here the fancy for everything  of one color is carried out and the spangles are precisely the same tent as the net or mousseline that forms the foundation. For example. if the robe is embellishcd with gold span gles the material is amber colored. and if silver spangles are used, gray is employed.
 New Pads in Jewelry
 Jet is very popular in all forms of jeweIry this season, and chains. brace lets. necklaces. dog collars and coiffure ornaments in cut jet are greatly in de- mand.
 Diamond slides and clasps worn on black velvet bands are very effective as well as most becoming to a beauti- fuI neck. And just here let it be whis- pered. that many of these ornaments are remarkably good limitations of
