Farmers. to the number of thirty
five, living in the vicinity of Indian
Lake have organized to stop hunting
and trespassing Oh their farms. The
organization is to be known as the In
dian Lake Mutual Protective associa-
ton. They have recently had $50 signs,

lows:

I. J.. NJ. p. A.
These are being placed very consplc-
uo,lslv over the farms of the thirty
five members so there will be no ex-
cuse for hunters trespassing on the as
ISOLATION grounds. About as many
more residents on farms adjoining are
expected to join, i'll which case their
places will be placarded also.
At recent meeting of the asso-
citation it was voted to offer a reward
of S. for evidence leading to the ar
rest and conviction Of anyone destroy

The AldriCh Bill.

Referring to the Aldrich bill the Philadelphia
North American (Rep) says:
1t is meant to penaze still the business
of the Nation for the benefit of New Yorks stock
jobbers 1t is meant for the relief only of banks
that have perverted the true functions of the banker
1t is for the opening wedge to make the Gov
eminent ultimately exchange currency for any wild
cat security Wall street may wish to unload 1t is
nothing nor less than an insult to the integrity
and the intelligence of the American people.
The press dispatches convey the information that
the Democrats of Aldrichs financial committee are
inclined to his bill A1drich is the most powerful
factor in the Senate and has way of securing sup
port for his measures from the most unexpected
sources 1t is hardly conceivable, though, that any
Democrat would have the temerity to support this
New York stock jobbers" bill. Democratic Sena-
tors (some of them) do queer things every now and
then.

For Senator LaFOllette.

The admirers of Senator LaFoette have organized
a club in Boise to promote his candidacy This is
most commendab1e and the country could be con-
graduated should the Senator receive the Republic
can nomination for President He stands for high
ideals and appeals strongly to all classes who are
striving for clean methods. The Senator will have
considerable strength in the convention and may
possibly be nominated but it is hardly probable, be-
cause the Interests" are against him.
We believe the LaFollette Club in Boise is rep
resentative of the American Republican sentiment of
Idaho We are constrained, however 10th we may
be- to call the attention of the club to the Mormon
power in Republican politics in Idaho, as shown in
another column and to remind it that Senator La
Toilette voted to unseat the apostle of polygany,

Suspicion and Unrest.


In presentnent to the court last Monday, the
Grand Jury of New York County announced the
existence of general belief that many persons con-
nected with the financial institutions and public serv-
ice corporations of New York City have been guilty
of serious crimes, the character of the crimes not
being specified.
The grand jury recommended that the guilty ones
be apprehended and punished, if the laws provided
for their punishment If not, the jury said it was
the duty of the Legislature in session to SO
amend the laws as to render justice possible. The
general belief might have grown out of lax methods
but the Jury believed that the public entitled
to all the information that could be uncovered by
an investigation.
1t is probable that the ugglers of finance at the
money center of the Nation will object to this evil
dence of radicalism the part OF the grand jury,
which has apparently become an agltator and IS
strongly inclined to disturb business. Mr.. Roose-
welt has been tanned and subdued by the representa-
tives of finance and privileged interests and now
appears grand jury possessed of the same symp-
toms that have been mentioned as anarchlstic by
the class that is arrayed against the welfare OF the
people
From Denver comes further evidence of the gen
eral dstrust though does not pertain to the same
causes that awakened the conscience of the New
York grand jury 1t given voice by President
Springer of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers
Association in an address to that association.
Mr. Springer felt we'll assured that "the United
States Senate was an aggregation of mionalres
put there by the trusts, and he convinced that
the protectionists of Massachusetts,, with their de-
nand for reduction of the tariff wool and hides
without a compensatory reduction of the tariff on
clothing and shoes were dangerous persons possessed
of willingness to sustain the trust-nade Senate
Mr. Springer became unduly violent within the
sound of his voice, much so as to remark
that the members of the Colorado Cattle and Horse
Growers Association would not be averse to the
hanging of the offenders "as you would rag babies.
Evidences of distrust everywhere visible, the
outgrowth of an acute conflict between classes OF
men engaged in business or representing the ever
present struggle for susenance the part OF wage
winners
Such is the condition the Nation clears the
arena for another clash the presidential cleo
ton without the usual guiding hand of party fealty
Under the pressure of hard times, the situation is
likely to become more and more acute as the cam
pagn progresses, for growing unrest and suspicion
cover the land. He is over-wise man who can
now measure the dimensions of the verdict of the
November ballot.

Our Oriental NeighbOrs.

1t seems as though the agitation for free sugar
and tobacco from the Philippines would not be
pressed on this Congress- There several reasons
for this one being that the Democratic members
of the Philippines committee in the Senate ere united,
ly opposed, and four of the seven Republican mem
bers of the committee also in opposition Sen
ators Hale, of Maine and Burrows, of Michigan,
are two of the Republican members and Culberson,
of Texas, the Democratic leader in the Senate, is
likewise of the committee.
Secretary Taft has abandoned the project for the
present, although two native delegates from the
Philippines are on their way to Washington to urge
it. If Taft is elected President ne may force this
legislation through Congress.
Our occupation of this archipelago is of the
most unfortunate events which has happened to the
United States 1t is likely to embroil us in trou-

the Chinese and Japanese That idea has been
abandoned practically for it has become apparent
that the Japanese will dominate the Far East trade
and the United States will secure only so much

There is an abundance of interesting data in re-
gard to Japan and China relating to their resources
and material development and it might be of interest
to refer to some of it.

United States
Up to 1868, when the revolution occurred which
overthrow the Shogunate, or the feudai lords and
restored the civil and military power to the EN-
peror which had been wrested from him by the
Shoguns Japan had been the most isolated country
in the world. For two hundred and fifty years prior
to 1868 foreigners were rigidly excluded and the
TaDanese lived entirely within themselves. Their
progress since 1868 has been the wonder of the
world.
All kinds of minerals found there. Gold,
silver "copper" lead, mercury and tin are abundant,
and iron is found in many parts of the country.
The lands are highly cultivated, and the japanese
raise sufficient of all agricultural products for their
own use and have considerable left for export.
