econ TIMES COMING.

Senator DoIlIver, who seems to be a
reliable spokesman for the trusts has
made an announcement that will de.
light the public. at Is to the in
terest of the trusts he says "to sell
cheap" AS there is nothing to
binder them from doing what it Is to
their Interest to do, trust magnates
will OF course reduce prices immedi-
ately all along the line. Anthracite
coal will probably sell for s. or So a
ton; dollar will buy twenty-three
pounds OF graduated sugar; IL cents
will buy pound OF bacon or a pound
OF beefsteak. Steel rails sold In the
home market at 1927 a ton will sell for
SlS, or what they are selling for
abroad. Lumber and nails and glass
and thousands of other trust articles
that are up In balloon out OF reach
OF the masses will drop to earth-pos-
sibly employing a parachute to break

or course the people all along have
believed the statement of President
Roosevelt when be publicly stated
that the Standard Oil trust and the
Steel trust were supporting Bryan.
Since John ID. Rockefeller has come
out and publicly stated that he was
for Taft because Taft was for him, is
the n ost reliable evidence that Ted
dy was telling the truth. When the
trusts and combinations are in favor
of Bryan or any principles he repre-
sents is when Wall street dictates
the democratic nomination as they
dictated the nomination Of Taft. or
course John d. is for Taft so long as
he realizes that Taft is for him.
That was a natural sequence.

1t does not matter whether Taft or
Bryan is elected, the election is over
and the animosities engendered by
the campaign should be forgotten
and all work for the best interests of
Lemhi county and Idaho. Whoever
may be the successful man, he is our
president and we would not be good
citizens If the people were not united
In upholding his hands. The country

HAVE DONE Our BEST.

Before this issue OF The Recorder
goes to the public the people will
have made their choice as to who
will conduct national affairs for the
next four years aud upon whose
shoulders will rest the responsibility
OF carrying the burdens OF county
and state. So far as this paper Is
concerned Il has tried TO make de-
cent eight for the principles In which
Ii believes and has refraine1 from
mud singing, abuse OF candidates or
an attempt To belittle the indivldu'
ais running on the republican ticket.
In this respect The Recorder Will
give the other local paper credit for
being moderately fair While we
think the insinuati0ns, on the part
Of that paper we're uncalled Tor. and
was a yelled attack upon the person
al honor and integrity OF Mr.. Lanes'
dorf, yet We believe II did not injure
Mr.. Langsdor personally; and II he Is
defeated for treasurer when the votes
are counted, II viii be due To other
causes than the yelled attack of Mr.
Abbott and his hackers.
At the beginning OF the campaign
The Recorder stated that Mr.. Rand,
the republican chairman, was an
honorable young man and would
make an effort to conduct clean
campaign. In this estimate Of Mr..
Rand we have no reason, at the time
this Is written, TO change our opin'
ion OF him. That there has been
some dirt thrown, and IL may he
known over the county before the
votes are counted, yet VIC viii In no
manner attribute IL TO the county
chairman. IL VIII be due 10 those
who are at heart unfair, and de-
cent campaign would be such an In
novatiou that they would be out OF
their sphere In attempting to con-
duct one. In one or two cases there
has been some dirty work done indie
pendent Of the leaders OF the party
organization, hut the leaders should
not be held responsible for this.
In the many years In which the
writer has been 10 the newspaper
business We have tried TO be unpar'
tisan so far as commanding repub-
lean Official IN the performance OF
their duty. AT this late day we have
found that this does not pay, We
have found by experience that such
commendation will he used In the
heat of a campaign as q club with
which 10 beat out sur brains. On
account Of this unfairness ana be-
trayal, one OF the candidates on the
democratic ticket will always feel
that The Recorder was responsible
for the defeat OF that candidate tn
case Of defeat, which NO do not be-
iieye at the present time. We still
have confidence 10 the fairness OF
the people, aud an undue advantage
always reacts against unfair methods.
The Recorder stated In the begin
ming OF the campaign that the oppo-
sltion ticket was composed OF repre-
sentative citizens, and that the dem

Ruskin the Pioneer.
John Ruskin proposed old-age pen
sions more than 80 years ago. In his
lectures at Manchester in 1857 on The
Political Economy OF Art" he pleaded
for pensions to soldiers Of the plow-
share as we'll as soldiers Of the sword"
and three years later he developed the
plea In his Unto This Last" The es-
says republished under that title orig
inally appeared in the Cornhill Mag
azine, then edited by Thackeray. The
novelist was a friend Of Ruskin, and
not a timorous person; but so loud
was the outcry at the appearance Of
such disreputable heresies In so re-
spectacle a magazine that Thackeray
was constrained to stop Ruskin's pa

Vaaaries of the Plumb Line.
One of the curious things that men
Of science have discovered in their
tnnumerable efforts to measure and
map the earth with the least possible
error, is the fact that there are places
where the direction OF a plumb line
Ii not vertical. Irregularities OF den
sity In the crust of the globe may pro-
duce this phenomenon.
A remarkable instance has been
found in the island Of Porto Rico,
where the deviation from the vertical
IL so great that, in mapping the island,
the northern and southern coast lines,
as shown on the older maps, had each
to be moved inward half a mile.-IL

Extraordinary LIGHTNING strske.

Prof. A. Herschel, In tie Quarterly
Journal of the Royal Meteorological
society for October last, describes the
extraordinary effects produced by
lightning in the midst of an open
moor in Northumberland. A hole four
or five feet In diameter was made In
the fiat. peaty ground, and from this
half dozen burrows extended on all
sides. Pieces of turf were thrown in
various directions, one three feet in
diameter and foot thick having fall
en- rs feet from the hole. Investiga-
ton showed that in addition to the sf-
fects visible on the surface, small
holes had been bored in the earth
radiating from the large excavation.

Bentley denied that such a verse en-.
