SAFETY APPLIANCES.
Do Roads Have to Maintain Couplings
in Good Order?

Washington, Dec. 1.-The question
whether the safety appliance law re-
quires railroad companies to maintain
automatic couplings in good order as
we'll as to equip their cars with them is
involved in the case of H. NJ Delk
VS.. the st. Louis & San Francisco COM
pany in which the supreme court of the
United States today authorized the is
suance of writ of certiorari. The case
originated in Tennessee. where the trial
court granted damages to a railroad
employee who was injured. That verdict
was, however, reversed by the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
Sixth district. The effect of today's
action will be to obtain a complete re-
view by the supreme court. The inter-
state commerce commission is taking
deep interest in the case contending
that the intent of the law is to re-
qure the railroads to maintain their
couplings in good condition.

The Sausage.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manufac-
tured sausagcs. but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient so
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding Of the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped i'll the stomachs of
goats. 1t was not until the tenth cen
tury that sausage made of hashed pork
became known. 1t was in or near the
year 1900 that. thanks to the introduc-

Ginsenq as an Elixir.

Many of the Chinese believe that
when all other remedies fail and death
is at hand ginseng has the power to
bring back health and longevity; hence
when they feel the need of it they will
pay fabulous prices for certain kinds of
roots. A root to be really valuable as
a commodity must come from the
mountains of Kirin or be reputed to
have come from there 1t must be BIZ
furcated, sO>as to resemble as much as
possible the human form, and be semi
transparent, dry and flinty. OF course
the larger the root the better. and as If
is sold by weight it is not very uucon-
mon for a good specimen to bring rs
much as S100 an ounce. The value for
such a root is in its shape. its texture
the manner in which it has been c.red
and the region whence it came. Bur II
must be borne in mind that ont of a
great quantity Of roots only very few
of the kind described can be obtained
so that the average price Of ginseng is
even greatly less than S10O per pound

The Bill Explained.

Mr.. Aldrich has explained his currency bill in a
speech and the country knows that his efforts
the efforts of the Senate committee and the inten
tons of the Senate do not contemplate any radical
change in the currency system of the country.
What the master minds offer is a process through
which additional money be created when bust
ness is afflicted by panic. During normal periods
the currency supply will depend upon the old pro-
cesses, with which the country is familiar. No pro-
vision has been made for an expansion of volume
when demand is greatest.
During periods of Distress certain kinds of bonds
State, railroad and muncipal-may be made the
basis of currency issues, thus exaggerating their
value and making them source of speculation,
chiefly at the financial center of the Nation
Generally the A1drch measure gains no popularity
outside the circle of the money power in New York
and Western bankers abate not in their bitter crt-
csm of the stone that has been offered in place of
bread
There is general conviction that nothing will be
accomplished by Congress in financial legislation and
that the country will have to limp along on one
leg until fortutous circumstance puts new life

Looking to the Offices.

A correspondent of The Scimitar feels assured
that every Gentle in Idaho would be brought into
active opposition to the Mormon establishment by
persual of the testimony in the Reed Smoot case and
that the testimony would have like effect every
nom Mormon in the United States
The testimony reveals conditions that all the
voters of the state and country ought to famarize
themselves with, for their judgment is likely to go
far astray without the hideous information that
came from the mouths of witnesses dwelling in the
midst of the inquities of Mormonism.
Evidently the Lewiston Tribune has not perused
these interesting testimony Volumes for it assals the
position of the Democracy of the state and makes
the humilating proposal that the Democratic party
place itself in alliance with the hierarchy and enter
into competition with the machine of the republican
party for the ballots of the dsreputabe element that
abides in our midst.
The Lewiston paper advances as its chief reason
for the suggested alliance-"that the Democrats may
have the offices and the Republicans not have them"
The paper is frank in its admission of its inability

For Better Roads.

The subject of good roads will shortly be brought
to the attention of the officers of Ada County and
it is that will grow in the appreciation of every
person that makes it a study. 1t will come before
the official body in the form of a proposition to
improve the road that leads from the city limits
the south to the cemetery and to some of the
outlying property beyond.
A careful estimate shows that it will cost $4,000
to macadamize the road and of that the property
owners Immediately interested are willing to pay
$4,000 and they will ask the county bear the bal
of the burden.
Upon any proposition for the Improvement of rur-
al roads there be but argument and it
is on the side of the Improvement of the roads,
Convenience of travel brings its certain returns
to any trading community along with the
comfort it gives to the travelling public.
Idaho has not yet adopted a comprehensive system
of road building, but will reach that important de-
partment of legislation soon as it understands
the effect of the work in the good roads states

to rise to the level of lofty principle. If the
offices all that be found the right side of
life, then the life is hardly worth living
1t is fortunate for the reputation of the commun-
ty of the commonwealth that the Democratic party
almost entirely sustanS the lofty principle and that
in the ranks of the Republican party the senti
ment can be found in dormant condition
There strong hopes in the Democratic mind
that 1908 is to be Democratic year and in their
inconsiderate desire to be in at the division few
of the Democrats would be willing to make terms
with the devil that assurance might become douby
The Lewiston paper appears to belong to that
class But generally the representatives of the party
prefer to win for good reason rather than with the
assistance of bad excuse.

Declined to Answer.

Having ntimated in his newspaper The Common
er, that the New York World was more concerned
in special interests than in the Democratic party,
William J. Bryan was asked by The World to fur
nish a list of the special interests to which he re-
ferred. In reply, Mr.. Bryan said
[ understand that Mr. Joseph Pulitzer is practical
ly sole of The World and railroad regula-
ton and the elimination of private monopoies are
pending issues, can answer your inquiry more
fully if The World will state editorially what pecun
iary interest, if any, Mr.. Pulitzer or The World
has in railroad stocks or bonds and what in corpora
tlonS commonly known as trusts
With a deep sense of caution, The World failed
reply to this request saying finally that objected
bringing this question down to the level of per-
sons" quoting from Mr.. Bryan's speech before the
Chicago convention in 1896. But it was not the
level of persons that Mr.. Bryan sought for he
spoke to The World in his capacity of public
and one whom the public is following very closely in
these times He explained
When The World advises the Democratic party,
the party ought to be in position to know just what
pecunary interest The World or its owner has in
the questions which The World discusses
The argument so papably the side of the
Nebraska statesman that the New York paper could
take exceptions to the attitude of its author The
question is clearly not matter between persons for
a principle broad and long is involved
Whether person may be biased as public teach
by his personal interests surely of vast mpor
tance when educators are abroad endeavoring to
point the people the rocks that encompass the
harbor of public safety.
That The World did not reply to Mr.. Bryan's
inquiry will be received evidence that it occupied
the suspected position and could not mpartially de-
fine the economic issues treated by Mr.. Bryan from
the standpoint of disinterested patriot.
The New York paper is of the class that is build
ing unearned fortunes out of the substance of the
people and as such its advice to the people is worse
than invaluable for it is certain to misead them if
they follow it.
