In the event of the incorporation of
Friday Harbor. the Islander suggests
that the streets be named in honor of
the San Juan pioneers who were the
founders of the town and were ever
loyal to it. 1t would be graceful
recognition of the service they rem
dered In leading the march of civil
zation and laying the foundations of
good government on San Juan island.

II the beet growers OF the Arkansas
valley do not succeed in twisting the
tail OF the sugar trust this time We Will
miss our guess. The trust can not al
ford TO allow its big barns OF factories
to stand idle with the hungry mawS Of
eastern stockholders staring it in the
face and yelling for dividends. The
managers out this way are required to
make the mare go and bring in the
money or they will lose their jobs
which to them is the only thing they
have to lose. The trust is very foxy
in its warfare. In Pueblo county for
instance IL has gone into cahoots with
the Colorado Fuel 4 Iron company to
compel the farmers leasing land and
renting water under the Bessemer
ditch to grow nothing but beets
These beets must be sold to the
American Sugar company. This is, OF
course, unjust and the farmers should
be encouraged in such fight for it
means absolute slavery if the point is
carried by the trust people.-Denver

A New Precedent

A new precedent in insanity cases
has been set by William H. Holmes of
Omaha, on trial for the embezzlement
Of 500. Although insanity 10 his sole
defense. NO alienists have been called.
no one has testified to hereditary
taints. and NO mention has been made
of brainstorm or exaggerated ego. The
witnesses have all been ordinary citi-
zens who have met him in everyday
life. Sam Hon, ex-sheriff and member
OF the legislature. testifies that he be-
lieves Holmes insane, because he
wants bath every day and is scrupu-
lous about his dress. George Stryker.
another ex-sheriff. says that Holmes
would have "a roaring toothache eve
,nings. but would be all right morn
ings." which. coupled with the fact
that he turned out his gas in Jail at
S p. m. and went to sleep. though the
rules allowed him to have it going till
3. proved madness conclusively. The
only departure from the homemade
brand of evidence was when Holmes
attorney argued that, as all the mas
tiers Of music. art, literature and poll
tics had been more or less crazy.
Holmes must undoubtedly be so. One
telling argument was adduced-the
prisoner ate breakfast foods. How
ever. remarks the New York Post, no
one thought to point out the most
conclusive proof Of all, namely. that,
If he had not been insane. Holmes
never would have embezzled merely
500.

The Man We Envy,

In one Of his plays. Bernard Shaw
remarks that the man with the tooth.
ache thinks everyone happy whose
teeth are sound. and the poverty.
stricken man makes the same mistake
about the rich man" So it is with
most things. One always feels that
the thing one does not possess. or the
thing one cannot do. is the one thing
essential to happiness. The unsuc.
cessful think the successful must be
happy. The invalids think II they had
health nothing else would matter. The
laboring man thinks II he only had
leisure he would be content. But for
tunately. happiness is not the preroga.
tive Of any class of people or station
in life. No doubt some are gifted with
a happier and more cheerful tempera-
ment than others, says the New York
Weekly, but ones point Of view is
really largely matter of habit, and
the thing to do is to try and get into
q habit Of letting ones thoughts dwell
on the pleasant things of life as much
as possible and forget its worries as
soon as may be.

"A nobleman who becomes the hus-
