A WORD ABOUT KNOCKING.

Theother day State Commissioners OF
Public Lands h. p. Fuller said to the
editor OF The Republican that the most
serious matter the land department
and the state board OF immigration
had to contend against was the matter
of knocking, and that by our own
people. One section was prone to en-.
deavor to gain prestige by condemn
ing another section. He believes there
must be unity of action before the en-
tire state could reap its fullest meas
ure OF prosperity.
The commissioner Is right. No Sec
ton or individual can build up by pull
ing others down. If the lands of Big
Horn county are good, 1t will do no
narm for the people of Sheridan coun
ty to say so and say it emphatically.
AT the same time they may consis-
tently advocate the advantages OF
their own section. If dry farming can
be carried on in Crook, Weston. Con-
verse and Laramie counties, it GER
tainly will do no harm to say SO. Farm

ed out without experiment and no one
can tell just how FAR 1t may be carried
on in Wyoming. Recently a paper in
central Wyoming said it was little
less thai a crime to permit people to
come into southeastern Laramie coun-
ty for The purpose of farming without
irrigation, and yet it is a well estab-
lished fact that many farmers have
been successfully %cultivating the soil
in that section of the state for a per-
fod of more than a dozen years. What
a Few farmers a do many farmers
car do. The rainfall in Laramie coun,
ty is greater than ii is in eastern Ore
gon where wheat is being grown with
great success, and the rainfall comes
at, h right season to aid the growing
croIs. So far as The Republican has
been able to discern, only one paper
in central or northern Wyoming has
given any encouragement whatever to
this dry farm movement in Laramie
county and that paper is the Lusk
Herald.
Again, do the people of northern
Wyoming know that one of the great-
est movements in irrigated lands ever
attempted in the UnitedStates is being
carried on in Albany county? Do they
know that fortnightly excursions are
coming to this valley and that almost
all the people who come are buying
lands? Do they know that the prize
wheat tho privA nnFa - Al. - =.
stock are raised in this vicinity? Have
they been advised that Lake James,
Lake Hattie, the Hutton lakes and the
various streams that flow into and
from these bodies of water form the
greatest irrigation system at the small
est expense known in the west? Do
they know that the last of the big
cattle ranches on the Laramie plains
are rapidly fading away and that they
are being divided into small tracts for
the use of the farmer and the small
stockman?
If they have depended upon their
local papers for this information thev
are not advised. Although the papers
of this city and the southern portion OF
the state have given column after
column TO every enterprise fathered
and promoted in the north. knowing
that what is good for one portion of
the state is good for all they have
looked in vain for reciprocal friendly
comment.
We can all grow together. The Big
Horn basin is one of the garden spots

At your expense, that impossibility is
to be abolished. The difference in price
between the cheap foreign-built ship and
the dear home-built ship is to be made up
out of your money.
At your expense, the Trust will there
fore be able to compete for the ocean
business.
At your expense, the Trusts themselves
will scoop the Carriers profit upon the
transportation of the Trust made goods
which are sold abroad cheaper than they
are sold at home.
You catch it all around, don't you, son?
We do need Ship Subsidy-we
Trusts.
We want to maintain our monopoly
at home, and we will have it, We want
to continue to undersell the foreigner in
the foreign market, and we will do it.
We want furthermore, to rake into our
own Golfers the profits now reaped by the
foreigner who controls ocean transporta-
ton.
We could do this by lowering the
Tariff, but that would derange our entire
Class-law fabric That would endanger
our monopoly of the home market.
Consequently, the only way for us to
get what we want, is to have the Gov
eminent grant us a Subsidy which will
make good to us that difference in price
between homemade and foreign-made
vessels which our trust-creating tariff has
caused.
Thus we, the Privileged, will unload
upon the Unprivileged both loads-that
Of the Trust, and that of our escape from
the one consequence of the trust which
hurts us.
There is only one incident to the Pro-
tective system which is drawback to
the Trusts
That is the impossibility of controlling
ocean transportation.
Every other incident to the Protective
System helps the trusts and hurts the peo-
pie.
The one incident which hurts the trusts
and helps the people must be dealt with.
We must so manage that ocean trans
portation shall likewise belong to the
Trust
How?
By giving to the merchant marine
sum of money out of the public treasury,
over and above the freight which is
earned.
Then, indeed, every incident of the
Protective System will present a harmon
ious color-scheme, for the trusts will
have hogged the whole business.

Those who did not know, have now
been told that Mrs. Butterfield was in
position to know the state and work
she was undertaking when elected
president two years ago. Like every
leader and organizer, she thought
out and planned her work early in the
term, then she made action conform
to the approved plan as near as it is
possible to do in the constant chang
ing of human events. During the
term of office she visited personally
each federated club in the state, in
ispiring confidence and zeal in the
ability of women to do for each other

the cable of federation and Mrs. But
terrified strengthened and cemented
1t, making it stronger and firmer by
use and application. Mrs. Butter
field is strong character but she
leads in an easy, tactful way that
makes 1t pleasure for one to follow.
Then, too, she is a practical, sensible
woman that may be disagreed with
without serious trouble, for she will
always be found ready to compromise
when a matter of principle is not in
vovled.
She is now sandwiched in the presi-

and Mrs. Forney. We can not resist

in this connection In a personal letter.

MRS. BUTTERFIELD.

Our retiring state president, Mrs.
Aubrey G. Butterfield Of Weiser
Idaho, was the second one of the
Idaho State Federation OF Women s
Clubs, Mrs. ID. w. Standrod of Poca-
tello, was the first, who, in launching
the .hree districts out into deeper
water OF statehood, that united the
three smaller forces in a larger and
more effective body, proved COM
mander worthy of the cause in every
respect. When the time came for
her 10 hand the commission over to
her successor, there could be no
fault found with her work, but UNI
fortunately there was no Echoes" to
record activity each week and month
and thus hand on to future presidents
and club women, the impetus inspired
by her labors. There will ever re-
main In the treasure store of memory,
however, much of the satisfaction her
efforts in official capacity inspired.
Mrs. Butterfield as we have fire.
quently told you, Is pure and I'M
adulterated Idaho product, fact
that lends much to the interest of her
~TcisA. Her father, Mr.. G. G. Gallo
way of Weiser, came across the
country in the very early days. We
do not know just how and where he
came from directly, but we do know
what he brought with him as heri-
tage for his children, and 1t was
nothing less than good blood, fine
breeding, culture, kindness and in
domitable energy for the Scotch-Irish
blood of Virginia was his by right of
birth. When the stern, matter of
fact, careful Scotchman found his ma
ture comingled with the loving, witty
and fanciful Irishman, on the mild
climated hills of Virginia, in peaceful
ante-bellum days, there was a race
produced in which America has taken
just pride. Neither does this strain
deteriorate in changes Of climate or !,
surroundings. We have never met
personally this early pioneer, but our
belief in the race produced by the
Scotch-lrish strain is so great, we are
willing to assure you the fine char
acteristics he brought with him to
Idaho, were not changed by contact
with the rough frontier life of those
days. Mrs. Butterfield's mother was
a Flournoy, who also possessed a gift
OF heritage by blood, lineally trans {
mitted through an honorable line of II
French antestry. Mr.. and Mrs. Gal II
loway therefore, gave to their chill
dren the best possible in the way of
inheritance and have every right to
expect much in return.
Mrs. Butterfield entered the public .
school at Boise and remained to q
graduate from the high school, after
which she took training course at
The Monmouth, Oregon, normal
school. She taught in Boise first, Q
hen In the Lewiston normal. From +
Early girlhood she possessed an ease i

ubject at class recital, that developed a

ortless control, so marked in her 8

Echoes few items of it's work and
plans for the year.
The first meeting of the club, in
October was especially interesting, in
that our president, Mrs. LaRue had
Just returned from abroad and gave
in charming manner, review of
the places visited. Her talk was sup
plemented by an exhibition Of pic
lures which she had gathered in her
travels. q .~,
Mrs. Shepard Of Salt Lake, SO
favorably known to Idaho club
women stopped in Rupert on her way
home from the Caldwell Federation.
At club dinner given in her honor
she entertained those present with a
report of the Second districts meet
ing.
Japan is the study outlined for the
first part Of the year, followed by
course on art. Appropriate programs
have been prepared for forestry and
domestic science days.
Outside Of literary work, the club is
this year bringing to Rupert first

GEM OF THE MOUNTAIN CLUB.

GEM OF THE MOUNTAIN CLUB.
At our general meeting October
3rd, Mrs. H. B. Whitman resigned hel
office as president and Mrs. C. E
Harris was elected to that position
Mrs. Whitman has been in poor
health for years and she realized thai
her strength was inadequate to the
demands of the work.
AS election occurred on our ami,
versary day we decided that for this
one year we would celebrate on All.
Hallows eve instead.
Through the kindness of Mr.. C. e
Harris, who proffered us the use OF
his office rooms, just across the hall
from our club rooms, ample accom-.
modations were provided for most
enjoyable social. AS soon as the
guests arrived Miss Lydia Nelson
rendered beautiful piano solo, this
was followed by vocal solo by Miss
Anna Sponberg, who responded to an
encore. Mrs. Harris gave an address
of welcome also the history Of the
club, its organization, aims and work.
Mr.. ]. A. Barrett responded to the
welcome and extended sincere good
wishes for the clubs future.
The departments of study were re-
ported by their leaders after which
all participated in conversation or
games while the committee served
Halloween, refreshments consisting
OF sweet cider, pumpkin pie, coffee
and apples. The cider fresh from
the press was the gift of the ever
thoughtful DR.. Hoover of Blackfoot.
Among the guests were Mr.. and Mrs.
Upper, Miss Davis, Prof. and Mrs.
Banghart and the city teachers and to
them the evening served as an ideal
occasion for becoming acquainted
with the ladies of Montpelier, Novem-
Der 7th. After an interesting dis
cussion of current events, we lis
tened with great pleasure to the
reading of the address given by Mrs.
Reesor at the district federation
meeting at Mackay.
Miss Davis delighted all with a
beautiful piano solo.
A sewing meeting was appointed
for November IL for the purpose of
making aprons for a bazaar which we
will hold some time in December
The names Of five applicants for

elected and the name of
one applicant received.

ABOUT MISTAKES.

| ABOUI MISTAKES.
There are always a great many
mistakes in newspaper work. There
are various causes for them that we
have not time to deal with this
morning. Some of the reasons for
mistakes in Echoes are due to the
fact that our writing force as whole
do not write plainly and the editor is
1.-THE worst in the whole bunch" il
lyou please. Two weeks ago we told
)about our trip to Montpelier, and
where we intended to say making
club speeches was not specially of
ours, the article in print changed the
meaning entirely and read that it was
"a special feature. We looked at the
copy and found the mistake was our
own, that the word mot" had been
|carelessly left out by none other than
the editor herself. The page should
be more carefully proof read and here
is where our serious trouble begins.
Neuralgia of the eyes has prevented,
ior rather prohibited this for some
time so far as the editor is concerned,
and the office can not afford the SER
vices of a regular proofreader. Now,
how can we better existing condi-
|tions? BY writing everything for
publication on a separate sheet from
other matter, writing only on one
side OF the sheet, placing the words
and lines sufficiently far apart to
prove distinct, write as plainly as we
can and read our own copy over be-
fore we mail it, to see If our mean
ing is clear. If we will do this, we
will lessen the number of mistakes
materially and may be the editor will
have stronger eyes soon, SO she can
more faithfully perform her part.
Mrs. s. D. Stroup of Payette, a
member of the Portia club, is one of
the best writer's in the writer's con-
test, but has thrown her voting force
in favor of her daughter, Mrs. Byram.
We wonder ii it would not be her
pleasure to write out few of the
journalistic lessons she has gotten
from the contest, for the benefit of
our corps of correspondents. We
think an article or two of this nature
from her pen would be appreciated,
and in the meantime Mrs. Stroup
would be passing along the good she
may have received. She can tell you
everything, even to the size and
quality of paper the office. prefers.

of Illinois, now public printer in the
Philippines, was Saturday appointed
public printer here. Mr.. Leech will
succeed Public Printer Stillings, whose

Bloomington, ILL.,, although he served
respectively as compositor, proof read
er and foreman in the government
printing Office here from 1889 to 1901,
at which time he was selected as pub

made for himself a most enviable
record as an organizer and an admin
istrative officer there, according to re-
ports in the possession of the insular
bureau. His appointment has been
cordially indorsed by Secretary Nor
rison, speaking for the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor.
He is a union man, but has been

SUES HEFLIN FOR $4,000.
Negro Assailed by Representative
Made Plaintiff In Washington.

Washingtno, April 6.-Representa-
tive Thomas Heflin of Alabama was
Saturday made the defendant in
suit for 100000 damages filed in the
district supreme court by Louis Lundy,
the negro with whom the, representa-
tive had an alteration on a street
car on March 27 last. Lundy alleges
that the representative kicked him,
slapped him in the face and with great
force knocked him off the car, shot
him, inflicting wound above the left
ear and extending backward to the
top Of his head, and that he sustained
bruises on the body and limbs. The
affair grew out of Mr.. Heflin's taking
exception to the negro's drinking on
street car in the presence of women.
