attacks on the administration, espec-
tally on account of its Philippine policy,
were the most severe delivered in Con-
gress

of the late senator's intimate friends

During the LAST year of his service
in Congress Senator Carmack never
visited the White House. He is one of
the few men in public life who managed
to pierce the tough hide OF the Presi
dent. One day at the White House the
President said some things uncompli-
mentary of Senator Carmack to a group
of Tennesseans. They told CarmaclS
the story and from that time on the
senator transacted his business through
the mails, but to the close of his term
he never missed as opportunity to ex-
press on the floor of the Senate his
opinion of Mr. Roosevelt Discussing
him in the Senate one day Carmack
gave this as a sample:
why, Mr.. President, he reminds me.
in fact he resembles In his habits of
speech my friend Joe Ballanfants horse
of which remarkable animal it was said
that running away was his natural
gait"
Undoubtedly there was sigh of re-
lief at the White House when Car
mack was retired to private life.
In debate Carmack cut with the keen
point of the rapier and an editor
he wrote the same way. Inyictive and
eloquence were employed by him with
equal ease Humor and sarcasm were
his side-arms. He was feared in the
Senate as was no other man of his
day. With it all he numbered on the
republican side many close friends and
held the admiration of every man in
Congress. w. S.

Washington, November o (speciaL)-
The corrupt practices act is believed by
many democrats to have been responsible
for the victory in Maryland last Tues
day, and it seems to be certain that 1t
caused the defeat of Representative
Jackson of the First district.
The republican congressman, owing to
the secret service men sent to the dis
tr,ct by the Governor was unable to open
his barrel in the usual ostentatious way,
the result being that Harry Covington,
who made the corrupt practices act his
leading theme was elected
It is considered likely by democrats
here that both the Indiana and Nebraska
legislatures will consider more stringent
laws relative to bribery, coercion and in

The Boycott Discussed.

The boycott pronounced by the saints of Bingham
county against the Blackfoot Republican because it
prints the news has been rebuked by many of the
newspapers of the state and by none more pointedly
than the Twin Falls Times, which says:
Brother Trego of the Idaho Republican (Back-
foot) had the temerty to publish account of the
democratic convention held here recently and
suit his Mormon patrons and the ro-Mormon cut
throat politicians are boycotting his paper
of punishment for his independence. 1t is Mr. IRE
COS misfortune to live in hotbed of Mormons and
while he has shown spirit of fairness to them at
all times in his paper, yet at the first sign of in
dependent attitude all-mportant question for
the people of this state, the hdebound descendants
Of Joseph F. turn on him and attempt to make him
slave to their caprice and the will of the priesthood
The Republican has been, and is of the foremost
papers of the state, because of the high ground its
able editor has taken on all questions of good gov
ernrAent and because of the hard work which Mr.
Trego has been doing since his first issue of the
paper. AS advertising medium for the people of
Backfoot the Republican is entitled to the patronage
of the business men irrespective of political opinion
Here's to the editor of the Republican, may the paper
be still top when its hidebound constituency of the
present is gone and forgotten i'll a moss covered
grave.

State Sells Il and Uses the Profit to
Fight Malaria.
The sale Of quinine in Italy is car.
rted on In peculiar fashion. The gov.
eminent sells the drug to the peasants
in malarious districts and then uses
the profit to fight malaria.
The first aim is to protect the
peasants from mosquitoes. But it is
almost impossible to get them to take
care Of the wire screens which are
given them for their houses.
As for their wearing wells and
gloves when they go abroad, as they
are urged by the authorities to do.
anybody who knows the Italian peas.
ants can guess how many Of them will
do 1t.
The government has therefore to
depend chiefly on draining and filling
up the pools where mosquitoes breed
and on what is called bonificamento,
or the improvement of the land in
various ways. Last year the govern
ment sold to the peasants about $780,.
coo worth of quinine, with a net profit
of about $4,000.

The Egyptian priests. who practicsd

Taking a piece OF flesh.colored cloth
the size of the empty socket, they
attached to it piece of clay the size
OF human eye. This was painted,
and the whole securely fixed over the
socket.
1t was not until the sixteenth CEN
fury that artificial eyes were made to
ut into the socket. Previous to that, a
thin metal band covered with leather
was used, the eye being painted on
one end, the other end gripping the
back of the head.
Then, in 1861, eyeballs of gold, with
the pupil done in enamel. came into
vogue.
Next came porcelain eyes, which, on
account Of their cheapness, were very
popular; and, lastly, glass was used.
Even in shakespeares day glass eyes
were very we'll made; but, compared
with modern specimens, they were
crude, and easily distinguished.
