TiIIina Rented Land.

A writer in the current Popular Sci
ence Monthly argues that Iandlordism
is getting to be prevalent Ia the farm
ing districts Of this country and that
surprising number OF our farmers
occupy rented land. The article states
that the percentage of rented farms
has increased steadily for the past
twenty eight years and that the high.
est percentage Of tenants Is found In
the most fertile districts Naturally
wise farmer wishes to put In his hard
work where 1t will pay best and II not
able to own the right kind of soil will
rent 1t. 1t speaks well for the farm
Ing industry that farmer can pay
rent for his land and make both ends
meet.
Naturally the owner of good piece
Of farm land wishes to hold 1t II he
can do so without danger Of its rum
ming to waste. If he finds a tenant
both parties are benefited. for It is evil
dent that the tenant wants a better
site than he can afford to own. II
cannot be argued that the increase OF
tenantry among farmers in this coun-
try shows tendency toward evil Eu-
ropean conditions. America is a great
country. Often a young farmer rents
land In order to stay near his relatives.
The selling market may be favorable.
and by renting a few years he can
make enough to buy what he wants
In the neighborhood or elsewhere. The
cry for some years back has been for
more hands to till the soil. While an
Increase in small farm holdings may
be beneficial. It Is not an III sign that
good farm lands are titled by tenants.

The Tolls OF the Law.

It took eight years to vindicate the
majesty Of the law in the case Of the
indicted contractors. Greene and Gay
nor They fought hard. but the prose-
cutor was the United States govern
ment, relentless antagonist. for 1t
knows no sentiment about individual
moral merits. nothing but the letter Of
the law and the record.
The accused were outside Of the ju-
rlsdiction OF the United States courts
over three years after the trial was
nrst set. Finally extradition papers
secured their return. and conviction
followed speedily. Yet for almost two
years they evaded Imprisonment. The
four year term imposed makes their
practical disability. counting from the
Indictment In December. 1890, about
twelve years. Had they stood trial in
1902 they might have been free and
active men today.

ST. MARES ACTS

Now that the st. Maries booster
club has decided to not enter the race
for the county seat, the contest is
squarely before the people on the
merits of Occur d'Alene and Rath-
drum for the honor. While the st.
Maries club has decided to keep out
of the fight for the county
seat, 1t at the same time de-
cided to lend all It's assistance
to Rathdrum, which action we
consider unwise at this time because
1t will not be able to deliver the
goods. This contest will be one
which appeals to the individual with
out political prejudice. No issues are
involved except the best interests of
those who maintain the county gov
eminent and who have business at
the county seat.
The st. Maries booster club has
right to take any action it sees fit,
but as we have before said, no one
can pledge the future action of the
people on any public question and
the committee appointed to visit
Rathdrum to arrange campaign
can pledge the support of its mem
bers and nothing more. 1t is not
authorized to speak for all the peo-
pie of st. Maries any more than
committee of three from this city
could pledge the vote of Occur a.
Alene to such propositions as 1t
might see fit to indorse. Occur d.
Alene is going into this fight to win
on its merits, is unpledged and free
from entangling alliances. But this
contest will show a lineup on cleo
ton day which may influence
political action and public mat
ters in Kootenai county for many
years to come. 1t will be an epoch
in the history of the county, having
much to do with its future and for
that reason every possible move by
those who favor removal OF the
county seat to this city should be
carefully considered and weighed be-
fore action is taken.

The london rimss, Chanra.

The recent transfer OF the owner
ship of the London Times Is an EVIL
dence that even In the conservative
old world institutions are not un-
vhangeable. This celebrated newspa-
per was long believed to be as stable
us the Bank OF England itself. A
large part OF the British public consId-
cred Its opinions upon the great ques-
tons Of the day as unanswerable sim
ply because the Times expressed them.
That the Times could make or unmake
war was long British tradition. It's
daring and incorporating independ-
ence earned for 1t the nickname
"Thunderer." and It ID this peculiar
feature Of the paper which 1t is be-
lieved must change. owing to the new
interests which have secured control.
Originally the Times was financially
strong, but its policy Of fighting to a
finish every cause which It espoused
resulted in losses from which 1t never
recovered. or late years 1t has en-
gagged in book selling and In many
ways suffered loss Of prestige More
enterprlsing journals have taken the
field, and the owners OF the Times
were unable to bear the strain OF fierce
competition with their resources Grip

While the large hat is very popular,
the toQue is quite as much in favor,

tremes in size are fashionable. Some

Infinitely more becoming to the ma
jority Of women than the large hats

Flowers 70 Be Used.

Flowers in velvet and silk, satin,
gauze and all other available mate
rails will be more used on the winter
hats than last season. Immense roses
will be In vogue and will appear in all
the colors and shades that the dyer can
create as well as in their natural hues.
But morning glories are by no means
out The fancy for them continues.
Lilies are shown, too. but they are not
the sort of flower to obtain much IA

II a promise Of violets, and it is to be
hoped they will become fashionable.
