An Unusual Condition.

The municipal fight in Jackson is no fight at all. Six Councilmen and one Mayor are to be elected and there are only six men running for seats in the Council chamber and one man for Mayor. Every candidate will be elect ed and no man defeated. There is no betting on the results and no guessing as to how each man will vote. We will all waltz up and vote the same ticket, marking a cross before every name. We are united in our town affairs-- we are as one family.

THE LEADER VS.. THE BOSS.

The leader is not man who
thinks for the people but man who
thinks with the people. The leader
is going in the same direction that
ahead to be in advance but not far
enough to be out of sight. The lead
er. is not only in sympathy with the
people but he relies upon persuasion
TO influence them. He presents his
arguments to them but recognizes
the right of the people to reject any
proposition submitted by him. The
leaders title to leadership rests upon
his ability to propose the best thing
at the right time and, as those who
follow the leader follow him volun-
tarily, he must appeal to their con-
science and their judgment. The
leader is moulder of opinion, and
moulder of opinion does not create
public opinion-he merely expresses
it in effective language. AS Thomas
Jefferson simply put into appropriate
words the aspirations of the people,
so, today, the leader--the moulder
of public opinion-coins into current
language the sentiment, like precious
metal, which experience brings forth
from humanity's great store house
The boss, however, is an entirely
different character--if the word
character can be applied to one
who is often without character. The
boss has no sympathy with the peo-
pie; he has his own interests to
serve and whatever authority he can
secure he turns to his private advan-
tage. The boss is an embezzler of
power and, measured by every NOR
al standard, he is in the same GRIM
lnal class with the embeZZler of
money The boss mas introduced bri-
berry, corruption and intimidation in
to politics and he will go out when
these are eliminated. Let the peo-
pie rule" is as much terror to the
boss as the commandment, Thou
shalt not steal" is to the thief. The
spread of the primary is only a re-
action from boss rule and, like every
other plan for the bringing of the
government nearer to the people, the
primary system increases the rela-
tive influence of the real leader and
lessons the influence of the boss

"IT Is AN OUTRAGE"

The following editoriai is taken
from the Ohio State Journal, (rep.
1T is charged that Governor Folk
transcribed the bounds of courtesy
he declared a good way to protect
our forests was to repeal the duty on
lumber. The criticism of Governor
Folk is based on the idea that poll
tics was to be tabooed in the confer
ence. But where is the politics in
merely saying the duty on lumber
should be removed? Why, nearly
everybody is in favor of that. 1t is
certainly no party question, for no
party would dare say specifically it
favored the retention of the duty on
lumber.
In discussing the question how
to preserve our forests, the sugges-
ton to take off the tariff that en-
courages their destruction is very
pertinent. Putting an impost duty
on lumber means the protection of
trees in other lands and the chop
ping down of our own. 1t is good
thing to suggest this. 1t is as peril
nent as the reservation of vast areas
of mountain forests.
If the governor he's been guilty
of little Improperly, it will prove
of service, for it viii call attention
of the people to an iplpost that is
not only destroying our forests, but
is increasing the cost OF every home
man builds. We hear much of the
question, is tariff a tax? That does
not apply to the tariff on lumber, for
1t is an outrage

been at religious meetings before
were in attendance, and some, of the
elderly redmen, converted by Whit
man and Spaulding more than so
years ago, were also present. Many
white men and women from the sur
rounding towns. were invited to wor-
ship with the Indians and the Una
tillas stood in groups talking with
the white men of their love for the
church.
The Indians have given up
thoughts of happy hunting ground
and look to God, as they have been
taught by the white missionaries.
They told of how the tribes had turn
ed from bloodshed and sin to walk
in the way Of their brothers. One by
one each spoke of his conversion, the
swarthy face lighting up, the stern
lips saying unwonted words of love-
Rev. j. M, Cornelison, who has
worked among the Umatillas under
the direction of the Home Mission
board of the Presbyterian church,
entered the field eight years ago
with an Interpreter to speak to his
flock, but he was not slow in pick
ing up the Indian jargon, and the
last five years he has been preaching
to them in their own language. Rev.
e. j. Connors, Indian evangelist,
chosen resident minister of the Tut
uilla church, has just been formally
installed.
Il look upon the success of these
services as triumph for the chris
tian faith" said Rev. Mr.. Cornelison,
land l believe that the day is near
when every Indian on the reserva-
tons in the Pacific Northwest, as
well as in other parts of the con-
tinent shall have been converted.

little teaching and training in mod

THE GREAT TREASURY DEFICIT

The Literary Digest presents some
of the comments made by republi-
can newspapers concerning republi-
can administration. Following is an
extract:
The republican party is warned
by one of its own leading organs.
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, that
the present deficit at the beginning
of presidential canvass is an awk-
ward thing" although it believes
the signs are for a steady improve
ment. If we are to believe a still
higher republican authority, how
ever, Chairman Tawney. of the house
appropriations committee, the signs
are for steady deterioration. At the
end of April the treasury showed a
deficit of over $4,000 900 as com
pared with a surplus of over S55.-
100000 year before, making diff
ference of sos, 100000. BY the end
of June, when the fiscal year ends,
Mr.. Tawney predicts that the deficit
will reach $60,OO0,000 or $65,OOO,-
600, as contrasted with a surplus
of s87,000,000 on June 80, 1907, a
difference of $150,000,0 900. And as
If this were not enough, Mr. Tawney
declares there will be an almost
certain deficit of not less than $780,
100000 at the end of the next fiscal
year"

HOkE SMITH OVERTHROW.

More than three years ago Hoke
of radicalism. A rich man and a cor
poration lawyer he had been a con-
sentative all his life until the CUB
ernatorial bee stung him and then
he blossomed out as a radical of
radicals, bent on regulating every
thing in sight and reforming his fell
bowman. His platform was as radical
as one of Tom Watson's speeches. He
was nominated by majority of a.
600 over his competitors, he was
elected governor of Georgia by
large majority, his radical friends in
the legislature carried out his poll
cies and crystallized his ideas into
statutory laws. All corporations
were hauled over the Goals and Geor-
gia was given a touch of Hoke Smith
ism gone mad.
Everything was regulated from
newspaper to hoop skirt and then
statutory prohibition was given the
people as the last act of the Hoke
Smith legislature.
Two months ago Little Joe"
Brown annuonced as a candidate for
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor and the Hoke Smith newspa-
pers branded him as the candidate
of the little brown Jug" the corpor-
ations and the predatory classes.
Little joe made no speeches. He
organized. Governor Smith made
-'whirlwind campaign" and at its
close announced that he would sweep
the state from the mountains to the
sea. Thursday the unexpected hap
pened. Hoke Smith was defeated by
$4,000 majority and Little Joe
Brown is the democratic nominee for
governor For the first time in his
tory the democrats of Georgia de-
MED a second term to a democratic
governor Hoke Smith was vice
presidential possibility Thursday
morning; he was rejected and dis
credited politician Thursday night
The American people believe in
sane regulation; they will not stand
for mad strangulation A few radical
reformers in Texas should take the
hint.
Arkansas has repudiated radical
ism and Oklahoma, in time, will re-
ism and oklahoma, in time, will re
pudiate Governor Haskell and his
radical lieutenants. There is a wild
man, e. A. Carmack, running for
governor of Tennessee, and it is to
be hoped that the safe and sane men
of that state will repudiate Carmack,
who is crazy to begin where the Pur-
itans of Vermont left off.-Dallas

THIRTY INDIANS CONVERTED.

cept Christian Faith.
Spokane, Wash, June 6.-Thirty
Indians of the Umatilla tribe were
the Tutuilla Presbyterian mission,
southwest of Spokane, where Rev.
]. NJ. Cornelison, resident missionary
has just concluded the most remark
able religious meeting of its kind in
the history of the Pacific Northwest.
The scene on the reservation was pic
turesque and impressive, especially
at night when the moonbeams flood
ed the tops of the tepees and the
mission buildings.
Fifty members of the Nez Perez
tribe met with the Umatillas during
the ten days the services were in
progress and sermons were given in
English by M. X. Arthur, Spauding.
Ida; Rev. Robert Parsons, Cotton
wood, Ida, and Rev. William Wheel
err, Sites, Ida. Among the visitors of
the Nez Perez tribe was Kip,ku-pe
li-kin, known as Obediah Harrison,
grandson of one of one of the four
Nez Perces who went to st. Louis
in the early '30s in search of the
white mans bible, the trip resulting
in the Missionaries Whitman and
Spaulding being sent to che Spokane
country to labor with the red men.
Three services, lasting several days
each, were held daily, and the night
meeting continued from shutdown
till after midnight.
The Glory song of the Nez Perez
tribe was the favorite of the Indians.
They have peculiar trick of singing
it through without stopping between
the verses. The Glory song is much
like the one used at war dance, but
slower in time and in quieter tone.
The words in the native follow:
Ka kaua inim ethaum kihokaun,
