We can hardly agree with Mr.. Good
night in his statement that eff the
governor had followed the letter of
the Law all of the commissioners
would have been either members
or employees of some grain firm. .
Neither do we believe it was the in
tention of the trainers of the bill to
have either members or employees
of some grain firm appointed on the
commission. There are many far
mers who are in no way connected
with any grain firm living In this,
Latah and Idaho counties who would
fully meet the requirements of the
law. five have accused Mr.. Good
night wrongly in being in the en-
ploy or closely allied with John P.
Vollmer in a business way we wish
to apologize for the same. He also
states that he has found honesty to
be the best policy seven in politics. "
We have known this for number
of years and are glad to know that
Mr.. Goodnight has found it out.

In the death of T. NJ. Mockler,
not only Nezperce but the entire
Nezperce prairie has lost one of its
highly respected citizens and friend
of true worth. As a pioneer of this
country, the favors that he extended
to many in the early day could
scarcely be measured by a money
consideration. and his fair and
courteous treatment gained for him
the everlasting friendship of the
early settlers, such as a man so
generous, broad and liberal-minded
as he was deserves. No settler of
this country made warmer and more
lasting friends, no settler on this
reservation had fewer enemies and
so unanimously commanded the re-
spect of all. He was a man always
ready to commend good deed and
disapprove of the doing of a wrong
one. We can pay him no higher
tribute than to quote:
Years fed. he wore a manly face
And strengthened In the world's rough race
And won al last lofty place"

The Nszpsree Indians

Inc Lo1OWlng Is Talk ana dem

from the Sites Sentinel:

northwestern Idaho, knowr az ths
Nezperce. The meaning is pierced
Nose" The name of the tribe II
Indian tongue is Tzupnitpalu. The
tribe numbers now about 1900, all OF
whom have land.
'Since christianity was brought
into the Nezperce country the PEG
| pie have advanced very rapidly to-
ward civilization. Ny purpose is to
tell you Of the manners and the
customs of my people century ago.
These Indians are well proportioned,
the average height of the men being
about six feet.
"The different places occupied by
the bands of Nezperces were first,
Kamiah; second, Lapwai; third, |
river; and fourth, Wallowa,
Oregon, the latter being the hunting
grounds of Chief Joseph of whom
most Of you have heard. I will tell
you some Of the customs so far as
ian remember them, as told by some
I'D Indians concerning the habits of
ny tribe. Before the white men
we're ever seen by the Indians they
lad their own way of worshipping. 1t
vas told to me that in the beginning
hese Indians we're entirely in dark !
Iess. They knew nothing of the
Tcrk in the line Of religion. Al (
hat time there was certain person I
rho had true vision that in the /
uture there was a great change to r
axe place. He had a dream Of the {
piritual side of life, and he also re- a
eived song in his dream to be s
ing at the time of worship. OIL
purse all the people were ready to d
elieve his prophecies. The means t,
worship we're very rude. Instead c
sitting in place Of worship they n
anced in form of a line. All the z
omen and men took part in the per- c,
(Song.) At that time the al
dians had peculiar disposition. et

tAkIIA E1HT4In T9I1TIWH
the grain laws of this state we he
Iieve that in dealing with this cues
ton Mr.. Goodnight has been reason
able fair but we also believe tina
he is mistaken in the construction h,
puts upon the Jaw regarding tn,
appointments of the commission a.
well as the article he refers to il
the Herald of April 9th. We hav,
failed TO see where the article re.
ferred TO bv Mr.. Goodnight is in
any xav misleading. furthermore
We have published the grain Law in
full in the Herald this year. giving
the date of passage of the law and
the amendments TO the same. How
ever. il makes but little difference to
us now whether the Law was passed
two or fifteen wears ago. There
are a few statements in Mr.. Good
nights article which are not clear
to us themselves. According to his
statement thew held their first meet
inc on Nav 22nd last year and held
two or three meetings soon after
that at different points and that
after the expenditure of some $50. 90
or $40. 90 each bv the commission
thew found that the commission was
imperative ON account of the bill
authorizing the appointment of the
commission not carving any anprop-
ration for print;no and advertising.
Now il would seem from the hill that
this advertising and nr;nt;no would
need to have been done last wear
vet the decision he refers MS to
from the attorney general was dated
January 18th. 1908. after more than
three-fourtbs of last wears crop had
been disposed of. and about eight
months after the appointment of the
commission. 1t would also seem
from his article that this is the first
o ficial information that the law was
imperative vet ON that date the time
for the commission to do ANYTHING of |
any benefit to the farmer was past.
Again, why did not Mr.. GOODNIGHT
let the people know the opinion of
the attorney general soon after he
received it instead of holding If for
almost three months. or until re-
. Gated protests had come from the
farmers on account of the treatment ,
hey had received from the grain
ompany and after an arrest had ,
zen made Of one of the agents of
he grain companies for violating
omc Of the provisions of the grain :
w. Il is the general impression z
hat many of these matters would {

A NIGHTMARE.

developed case of delirium tremens.
Roosevelt county alone, whose popu-

cast over 5000 votes, 80 per ce1t of
which will be Democratic. Chaves
and Eddy counties have also enjoyed
a phenomenal increase in population,
and the percentage of Democratic in

county is in like condition. Lincoln
county is also growing in population
and in Democratic strength. The Re-
