THE CASE OF HARRY ORCHARD.

Those who believe in fair and i'm
partial administration of the law will
be inclined to believe that Governor
Frank R. Gooding of Idaho, was party
TO an unholy alliance with self-con-
fessed assassin in an endeavor to Sc
cure the conviction of the officials Of
the Western Federation of Miners for
completely in the assassination of for
mer Governor Steunenberg.
When w D. Haywood was acquitted
at Boise last summer he expressed the
belief that Orchard had been practi-
Cally promised immunity for his score
of crimes in exchange for his testimony
in the Haywood, Pettibone and Meyer
trials: that he would not be hanged but
would be sent to prison and given an
opportunity to escape. Most people
thought that Haywood. VIGOROUSLY
reckless in speech. was to use slangy
phrase. talking through his hat.
The events of the last few days.
however, lead one to the conclusion that
Mr. Haywood might have known what
he was talking about. On recommended
tion of the governor, the state board
of pardons has committed Orchard
death sentence to Imprisonment for life
Whether or not the arch ASA Sin
will. in accordance with the alleged
promise of immunity. be given an op-
portunity to escape sometime in the
next few years. or whether some future
governor will carry the case to it's
logical conclusion and grant a pardon
remains to be seen, but the bare posi-
bility of this inhuman monster being
turned loose to again prey upon human
life. to again kill at the bidding of any
one who is willing to pay him twenty
five dollars a job, is enough to make
one shudder
II is easier to believe that the act
ion of Governor Gooding and the state
board of pardons is in accordance with
a pre- arranged agreement with the
prisoner than il is to believe that the
governor and the state board of par
dons really take seriously the senti-
mental gush Gooding has been pouring
out in behalf of the prisoner ever
since he decided to save his neck.
I believe Orchard told the truth and
is truly repentant."
Rot,
Repentance comes easy in the
shadow of the gallows.
It Is easy to tell the truth. probably.
when a convict knows that he is
caught and feels the moose Tightening

THE LIVING ROOM.
it Should at All Times Be . "LIvabis"
 Room.

What to do with the living room Is a problem that confronts every house keeper. The living room should be In fact as we'll as Tn name a living room-a livable room. It is the room in which the most of our time at home is spent, the hours We have for leisure. the time We have for play the place where we entertain our friends and 1t is absolutely essential that the walls and furnishings of the living room should be harmonious in color. suitable in texture, and durable in material
 The rich. soft, solid colored walls rooms. They make better back ground for pictures, throw. the furni. ture out in better relief. are less dis cordant with rugs and carpeting. and indicate higher degree of taste and culture than do the colored mon strosities which we paste on when we apply wall paper.
 Who ever saw roses climbing up a plastered wall growing out of a hard wood floor? Yet that is what we suggest to the imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our walls. They are neither artistic nor true. Roses are all very beauti- full, but they were never made to climb up interior walls and they do not grow from hardwood flooring The set figures of wall paper are also tiresome and equally disagreeable and repellant.
 The alabastined wall is the only correct form of tinted or solid col ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only clean way. and more fortunately 1t Is the only permanent way; the only way that does not involve the end less labor in the future.
 In lighting the walls some thought reflect S59o of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but 15%o. Lighting bills can be saved by choos- ing color which will reflect the largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect 1t; browns mod ify 1t, and so on, through the scale of colors. The color scheme of a room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetings but it Is also dependent upon the light of the room.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least cost depend largely upon the material chosen. Paint Is a simple compound and the ingredients can be easily test. ed. The solid part or pigment should be White Lead. The liquid part should be Linseed oil. Those best in. formed on painting always buy these ingredients separately and have their painter mix them fresh for each job. Before the mixing the test is made.
 Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead on piece of charcoal or piece of wood Blow the flame against it and see what 1t will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appear, and with pa. tience the White Lead can be com. pletely reduced to one globule of metal lie lead. This is because pure White Lead Is made from metallic lead.
 You may test dozens of other so- called White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead If they will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, it Is clear that some adulterant is present.
 If you should have your painting done with such materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end.
 National Lead Company, Wood. bridge Building. New York City. are sending on request blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done. so that the White Lead may be test. ed. With it will be sent a handsomely printed booklet having as its frontis. piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re- produced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

 What Does This Sign Mean?
 It means that public inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the bus mess which is not "open and above- board"
 It means that Q permanent invita- tion is extended to anyone to como and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs - with out drugs!

 Dothe women of America continu. ally use as much of it as we are told ' Come and See.
 Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write? Come and See.

 Come and See.
 Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents? Come and See.
 Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women? Come and See.
 This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being ben- cited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake, be taught confidence, ,forshe also might just as well regain her health.

SECOND BEST NAVY
BRITISH DESIGNER SAYS AMERI. CAN VESSELS EQUAL TO ANY.
RECENT CRITICISMS UNFoUNDp
In Comparing Fleets, Enqlishman Places Uncle Sam's Next to
 That of Great Britain.

Boston-ln an interview published here Tuesday, Sir William Henry White. who was for nearly twenty years the responsible designer of all British warships, comments on recent criticisms of the American navy. After declaring that the criticisms are un. founded on fact, and supplementing this declaration by long technical explanation, Sir William says:
 There is one more thing that would like to say and 1 think it is vital. l have known the American navy from the start It is not gen. orally known that the modern Ameri. can navy started with the purchase of two of my designs from Arm strongs. That was in 1885. From these designs the Charleston and the Baltimore were built.
 The first thing I want to say In this connection is that you have naval architects as capable as any. in my Judgment, in the world.
 The second thing I want to say ia that your shipbuilding yards are quite equal to any we have in their eouip- ment and management and all that.
 And the result is that, in my opin. ion, you have a fleet that, ship for ship, comparing the ships designed at given date-and that is the only fair comparison-is equal to anything the world contains. And next to the Brit ish navy, think your navy is the best in the world"
