FROM OTHER PENS
INTOLERABLE CRUELTY.

The woman in Cincinnati who is
suing for a divorce because her hus-
band won't let her wear what she
considers becoming gowns appears to
be clearly entitled to q decree on the
ground of cruel and intolerable treat
ment. 1t has been said that the con-
seriousness of being we'll dressed is to
a woman the source of such comfort
as even the solaces of religion do not
bestow. That was the remark of a
cynic, and 1t must not be too literally
construed, but there is something in
it. Unquestionably, to wear a pretty
frock in which she is aware of look
ing we'll is to a woman one of the chief
pleasures of life. 1t has been much
discussed whether women dress to at
tract mems admiration or other wo-
mems envy. They do neither; they
dress to please themselves. and the
man who would prevent his wife from
following this natural and amiable in
stinct of the sex is a curmudgeon who
has missed his vocation in not being
a crusty old bachelor.
When II comes to clothes every wo-
man, at least every American woman.
is natural born expert. She under
stands what to wear much better than
any mere man Of a husband can tell
her, and if at any time she is in doubt
there are always the store windows to
which she can look for inspiration
The pursuit of her ideal in this thing
of clothes is one of the principal OBJ
jects of every normal woman's life,
and the unfortunate lady of Cincin-
natl who for seven years has been de-
MED the privilege of dressing herself
as she preferred has a good cause OF
complaint. Perhaps her husband is
afraid to have her make herself as
charming as she can, but no matter;
he's brute.-Philade1p Inquirer.

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.

Anything that brings the people into
closer contact with the big issues makes
the voting system better. II we cannot
regulate the tariff and currency, after
having such protracted notice Of the
trouble coming on both subjects, per-
haps politics should be made a matter
OF deeper popular education. This jour
nal has not tendency to disparage
congress as whole, but 1t Is undoubt-
ed that 1t has a tremendous element
OF men who have exploited themselves
from the field OF local politics and the
ward grade Of public persuasion. It is
great honor and duty for the able
and active citizen to take his share Of
command. whether he is ambitious to
enjoy any Of the public honors and
emolumentS or not. The question of
electing strong congress is largely
one of individualism, but when we get
so the people will vote for men of the
highest qualification and honor, with
out regard for thir proficiency in the
patronage, we will be abreast of the
ideal republic. We have too many
mechanics" In the thinking line. A
senator or representative in congress
should not have much to do but "just
think, and fight for the right when
he has thought 1t out. 1t is only those
who get the patronage that are deeply
concerned about who get the appoint
ments. The civil service system is radi-
cally strong now. 1t ought to be on an
approximate basis. That would be the
best civil service reform the country
could have.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

BOISE BANK TROUBLES!
Capital State Bank Fails With
Liabilities Of 81, 200, 900.

Reports reached this place Tues
day evening that the Capital State
Bank, at Boise, closed its docs that
afternoon. 1t is said the liabilities
OF the concern are 81 100000. At
presenet we have no means of know
ing the causes of the embarrassment.
The Capital State Bank was organ
ized In 1891. and their last published
report shows that it was capitalized
at S200,0O0 with surplus of halt
that amount.
The same report shows that the
bank had 81, ,230, 900 deposits, with
outstanding leans of 81, ,07s, 900, and
cash on hand of $46C, 900. George Il.
Ellis was the president and Horace
Z. Neal, cashier. In view of the
sworn statements Of the condition ol
the bank at their last report, the de
positors will not be the heavy losers
ii the bank does not eventually pay
in full.
| 1t has been predicted that there
would be trouble among some OF tht
Boise banks, owing to their loos'
methods of banking. They hav'
been making all kinds Of induce
ments to secure deposits and hav'
been extending almost unlimited
credits, in many cases extending
credits contrary to all banking eth
les.

"If the foundations be destroyed,
what can the righteous do?'.
Today let Us take these words OF
the Psalmist and ask this question
honestly, sincerely and reyerently
before Almighty God concerning this
civil government he has bequeathed
to US through the piety, the self
sacrifice and the heroism OF our fore
fathers. Let US first ask and try to
answer this question. What is the
purpose of civil government? End,
What are the foundations Of civil
government? 3rd Is this foundation
being destroyed in our midst? 4th.
Who is responsible for this unnat-
ural crime?
Before taking up these questions |
want to say that l am indebted to
DIR. Il. S. Chapman for the informa
ion give you today about court de-
cisions and many other facts In this
sermon.
Let us then to the first question.
There is an old Roman motto which
says, "The public welfare is the
supreme law" Justinian, one OF The
wisest emporers that ever ruled The
Roman world, after an exhaustive
study of the civil government OF the
empire said, that the whole system
OF civil government and law could b,
summed up In the one short sentence
THAT we live honestly. should hurt
nobody and render unto every mar
bis dues. Blackstone, the greatest
authority on law that has ever lived
defines municipal law to be "a rul'
OF civil conduct prescribed by the su
pieme power In state commandinl
what is right and prohibiting wha
Is wrong"
These definitions OF the purpose o
civil government and law agree will
the word OF God which tells us II
Romans, Rulers are not terror u
good works, but to evil, for he is Ih
minister Of God to thee for good,
revenger to execute wrath upon hin

this very thing" We thus find tha
according to those who best under

for this reason we pay taxes. Fc
this cause we support our president

THIRD WARD RALLY.
Great Interest Manifested in City
Elections--Crowd Attends Citi-
zen's Meeting Tuesday Night.

The Citizens meeting Tuesday
night in the city hall was attended
by large crowd of interested tax
payers, whose deep concern regard
ing municipal management-or mis-
management-was very evident from
the attention they gave the speaker
J. j. Carney, Citizens candidate
for councilman for the Third ward,
addressed the meeting for nearly an
hour, and was listened to with mark
ed attention throughout. After call
ing attention to the folly of injecting
national politics into city matters,
and citing the evils resulting else
where from the practice, he directed
the X-rays upon the management of
the city during the past year-under
the first political administration ever
inflicted upon Aberdeen--and, in all
probability, the last.
He quoted from the treasurer's re-
port, showing the expenditures of the
city in 1907, to have amounted to
$14.47 per capita, and an increase of
warrant Indebtedness of $37,94O;
said the South Aberdeen waterworks
were costing twice too much money,
and that the entire water system was,
and always had been, woefully mis-
managed.
He called attention to the eXpend-
itures in the various departments,
and the wasteful methods of pur-
chasing supplies. Cited numerous in
stances of street improvements where
the motto of "the people be damned"
had seemed to prevail, and exposed
the rankness of the proposed tide
land filling scheme. The proposed
removal of the red light district, and
the scattering of the evil to the
midst of respectable homes was re-
ferred to in no uncertain tones, and
provoked a storm of applause.

LESSEE OF LAND
CONTROLS CLANS
Confirmed by the Court in Right to
Prevent Others Digging
Them.

Olympia, April 1.-Holding that a
right to restrain persons or firms
from trespassing upon and digging
CLANS from the lands held under
lease, the supreme court has hand
ed down a decision in the appeal Of
the Sequin Canning company versus
II. j. Buggee and others, from the su-
perior court of Clallam county.
George Davis, James Dick and
Frank Fiske secured a lease from the
state for certain tide lands in Clal-
lam county for the cultivation of
claims for canning purposes. They
organized the Sequin Canning COM
pany. Buggee operated another can
merry in the same neighborhood. They
hired Indians to dig the claims for
them. These Indians We're sent upon
the lands leased by the Sequin peo-
pie. Notices were posted forbidding
the trespaSS, but no notice was taken
or tnem.
Action was brought to restrain
Buggee from going upon the lands or
sending his diggers upon them after
clans. Buggee interposed demur-
rer to the complaint on the grounds
that it did not contain sufficient
facts to constitute cause for action.
Bnggee held that he should not be
restrained from digging clans, as to
restrain him would interfere with his
natural fishery rights. The superior
court sustained the demurrer from
which decree the appeal was taken.
The supreme court reverses the
action, with instructions to proceed
with the trial.
