The Law of Work and Rest.

Everybody who Is active expects to
get tired. 1t is all right to be very
tired, but it is not all right to keep on
working when tired, says DR.. Charles
Fere in the Paris Scientific Review.
The regulation of work so as to post
pone fatigue Is the real labor Ques-
tion," declares the scientist, arguing as
follows:
Thu daily repetition Of fatigue does not
leave workers time to forget their work.
Fatigue does not improve the Judgment;
1t even clearly causes consciousness to
deteriorate and diminishes sensibility in
all its forms except sensitiveness to pain.
Even thought cannot tax place without
motion or without fatigue. Imagination
necessitates work. and We cannot doubt
tina the attention necessary for precision
requires a muscular strain that causes IA
tgue. Absence Of callosities on the hands
Is no sign Of unfamiliarity with work.
Fatigue is nearly allied to pain. This
relationship, even If vague. makes the
study Of labor valuable and interesting
to Psychologists and physicians. whose
business 1t is to assuage pain.
DR.. Fere says that the alienation Of
fatigue by stimulants is always decep-
tive. Stimulants hasten fatigue and
%aggravate II, although this result is not
detected on account of the brief access
Of activity which they induce. Some
one has put the doctors thesis on ex-
cessive fatigue in this way: 1.-TWO
tireds make one sick" This authori-
ty would have mankind stop short Of
getting really tired at all. He recog-
nizes that work without fatigue Is an
impossibility, but it Is wrong to con-
tinue work until one Is too tired to 20
on. Fatigue is not to be suppressed,
but postponed until the hour for rest
arrives. This can be done by g
lating movements. Fatigue from deli
cate work is hardest to repair. Wait
ing Is a form Of attention and produces
fatigue. Any excitement hastens ia
tigue. AS fatigue increases the laborer
becomes less conscious Of Its progress
and allows his energy to run on to ex-
haustion.
On the other hand, rest may be SO
regulated as to repair fully the exhaus-
ton of physical substance by ~exertion.
Mere change of work, DIR. Fere says,
is not equivalent to rest. 1t merely
hides fatigue instead of lessening 1t;
also enforced rest or rest badly taken
involves added fatigue. Science knows
for a fact that a nights rest restores
a fabric in part destroyed by the pre-
vious days labor. This daily wearing
down and building up is the whole of
the process of fatigue and rest. So
thoroughly convinced on this point are
the scientists that they are experiment.
ing with antidotes for this fatigue
toxin or fatigue poison which they be-
lieve circulates through the body as a
result of prolonged muscular activity.
The fatigue poisons disappear Of them
selves when the muscles are given rest.
1t is thought that this disappearance
may be due to chemical change, and
to bring this about artiicially while
the muscular activity continues will be
the role Of the antifatigue toxin If the
hopes Of Its ~discoverer are realized.

Civil Service Abuses.

AS foreordained when the first sleuth of the
system was sent to Idaho to make secret investi-
CATION of the office of the Surveyor General of the
State, that official has been asked to resign. The
President made the request and General Eag1eson
comply or be turned out as he may elect His
place needed by the political machine that some
might be compensated, and that is about all
there is in the charges that have been produced
against him.
short time ago it became necessary for political
reasons to transfer the register of the Boise land
office to another position at Washington and he went
to the distant capital in compliance with commands
His place has not yet been filled and the business
of the Government is being neglected while the ma
nipulators of the system adjust their assignments
The public service is as fagrantly made the me-
dium of political rewards and punishments as it was
before the distinguished civil service reformer was
placed at the head of the immense patronage es-
tablshment of the National Government He has
administered the system than half dozen years
and yet the politician can, with o1d-time impunity
ask for the scalp of public servant whenever new
adjustments for influence are needed
The under discussion attract local remark
because they locally understood Changes in the
service continually being made in the interest of
party expediency and they attract local attention only
But in the unknown aggregate the putting out of
experienced men and the putting in of inexperienced
impairs the public service sufficiently to render
it almost inefficient
The civil service under the reformer, has not been

enter into contract to sell claim before final proof
made The finding of the Supreme Court will
stop proceedings against many under indictment
for participation in that offense and will raise the
question of the validity of punishment already wholly
partially inflicted.
Men are serving sentence in Nebraska and prob
ably other States for contracting with entrymen for
the purchase of claims after proof was made,
notable case being that of Rev. George Ware, rector
of an Episcopal church in the Black Hills, now in
jail, for whose pardon petition was recently laid
before the President by the bishop of the diocese
The position taken by the court will tend to dis
courage the investigation into land frauds prosecuted
with vigor by the administration under the suppo-
ston that the processes under which large tracts of
the public domain fell into the hands of individuals
illegal.
The theory of the land distribution laws seems to
be overturned by the court, for it leaves the way
open for the employment of dummy entrymen to any
number by individual, who can possess himself,
through contract of all the land he is able to pay for
The decision of the court appears to cover all
classes of land entries and if So it will seriously af
feet the interests of Idaho and all other public land
States. 1t will enable corporations and other COM
bnations to appropriate the forests to denude the
of water supply and to carry off everything
that is of value to the present and the future.
If corporation can make valid contract with an
individual to purchase his holding as soon as final
proof is made, it make valid contracts with any
number of individuals That is, it hire any num-
Der of individuals to take claims and them over
to the corporation title is secured.

Working a New County.

An unusual degree of Mormon activity is noticed in
the newly organized county of Twin Falls, in the
southern portion of Idaho where Gentiles predomi-
nate and government is administered on the Ameri-
can plan Missionaries are exceedingly busy in Twin
Falls County-the missionaries of a theocracy not
of a religion that is any better than the American
religion-and they endeavoring to plant their
churches here and there and establish their methods
There could arise possible objection to the
presence and labors of teachers representing merely
the ethics of Christian religion, but the mission
aries of the Mormon church have designs far bevond
the spreading of the word of God and the building
of shrines to His holy name.
Wherever they ntrude they seek control politically
commercially and morally and their anxiety for the
remission of sins is but incdenta1-used only as am
buscade they construct the foundations of a de-
grading system.
Twin Falls County is attracting the attention of
the best citizenship of the country and it is to be
hoped that its productive lands may be reserved for
that class of people

No Responses rlade.

Two weeks have elapsed since this newspaper
amiably suggested to Governor Gooding that
of his duties to the public full and free dis
closure of the delnquencies of George c. Parkinson
whose resignation from the board of regents at
tended by some unpleasant rumors
The Governor has not responded. Instead he has
taken his course, has emptied his vias of accu-
sation on the head of another official and has dem
onstrated his need of cool-headed advisor by mix
ing himself up with robust libel suit that might have
been avoided without impairing the force of his
philippe against the Auditor of the State.
The Scimitar is assured that the Governor could
do justice to the regent without encountering any
of the risks that confronted him the time he made
his assault the revengeful Auditor, and the col
umns of this paper open to him for any gentle
manly accusations that he may be disposed to utter
against the distinguished Mormon with whom he was
recently associated in an official way.
The Scimitar also extended to the Mormon church.
at the same time, broad intimation that it might
properly visit the wrath of God the offending
Mr.. Parkinson and thus verify its rather boastful
claim that it always Furnishes the moral delinquent
who transgresses any of its laws.
But the church, like the Governor, evinces silent
sympathy with the offender in permitting him to
continue to point the way that leads to grace and
glory, thus retaining him in the capacity of spiritual
guide, though he smells of earth and is very earthly
These two representative wheels in the political
machine of the State do not seem disposed to yield
to the guiding hand of The Scimitar which seeks
only to square them with the public and it is con-
strained to believe that their estimate of the public
is similar to that once profane1y expressed by the
eminent Mr. Vanderbilt

The Honor of Idaho.

In returning a verdict of not guilty in the of
the State against George A Pettibone, charged with
conspiracy to murder Governor Steunenberg the
Boise District Court jury last Saturday closed the
prosecutions against officers of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners Following the acquitta of Mr.. Petit
bone the case against Charles H. Meyer dis
missed William D. Haywood was acquitted before
Pettibone was tried the jury in his case returning
a verdict of not guilty
The conspiracy charge against these men, based on
the confession of Orchard has been proved founda-
tionless and Justice must now turn to Orchard for
its vndication.
Mr. HAYWOOD and Mr. Pettibone have been given
fair trials The State of Idaho, the prosecutor,
has been treated with equal fairness. An able and
impartial judge presided over the proceedings. The
utmost latitude given in the selection OF the
juries and they were unprejudiced There was no
demonstration the part of the people of Idaho and
no undue interest manifested in the trials. Cool
counsel prevailed from beginning to end.
The State contributed generously from its treasury
to the expenses of the litigation and able attorneys
and the most conspicuous sleuths employed to
weave the net of completely about the defendants.
With the utmost in the way of facilities extended
to them, the prosecutors were unable to convince
even one of the twenty-four jurors that either OF
the two men who passed through the ordeal were
entitled to the attention bestowed upon them In
the final case the defense declined to exercise its
privileges permitting the jury to form its judgment
chiefly on the testimony and argument of the prose-
cution
It can never be said that justice hindered in
the slightest particular that Idaho has manifested
any other sentiment than of fealty to the law
and its processes.
Attempts have been made to attach political sig
nficance to the relation between the interested min
ers union and the mine owners organization and is
probable that the Governor gained temporary prestige
for his combination out of some of the circumstances
The Democratic party gave attention to the only
SO far as to assert its demand for the full
of justice
The end having finally been reached Messrs Hay
wood Pettbone and Meyer have been discharged
with no taint of suspicion upon them upon the
organization they represent
The who is guilty of the heinous murder of
Governor Steunenberg by his detailed confes-
sion twice repeated the witness stand, is in
tody and suspicion is mentioned that he will not
be brought to trial
If So the outside public will have warrant for
the attacks it has made the honor of the State
Of Idaho in connection with this dep1orable affair
The State has yet to vindicate itself through the
punishment of the monster who is guilty of the
crime. Will it fa1ter in its duty?

A Cure for Hog Cholera

Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it
is sometimes called Is highly conta-
gious disorder
When hog shows any symptoms
of this disease, he should be isolated
at once and the pen fumigated in
order to save the other hogs il pos
sible.
Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with
two parts milk in bottle and give
every sick hog tablespoonful of
this mixture night and morning for
three days. Sloan's Liniment is a
powerful antiseptic, kills the disease
germs, soothes all infiamm alton and
acts as tonic to the animal.
A. J. Mccarthy of Idaville, Ind,
says:-"My hogs had hog cholera
three days before we got Sloan's Lini-
ment, which was recommended TO me
by neighbor who was using it with
success. | have used it now for three
days and my hogs are almost well,
One hog died before l got the Lini-
ment, but have not lost any since"
Mr.. G. w. Balsburg Of Peru, Ind,
writes:-I had four pigs that were
not doing well. gave them some of
Sloan's Liniment and they got better
at once"
