Was the Tariff Bill a Victory for
Mr.. Taft?

''The very concession Mr.. Taft OBJ
tanned were yielded from political ne
cessity, not from any conviction that
justice required them," says the edi-
torial writer in the department of the
Interpreters House" in the October
American Magazine. He continues:
"a victory for Mr.. Taft? You re-
member Mcclellan? Preparing, pre-
paring-pretty soon, we'll show you!
A general should not boast of win
ming a skirmish after losing a battle.
Mr.. Taft seems no more to have I'M
derstood his great chance than did
Congress. 1t was not high-class bar
gaining in which, by virtue of his
office and his power Of veto, he is
able to wrest a few concessions that
we had a right to ask from Mr.. Taft.
Leadership is his business. 1t was
for him to make clear the great need,
to inspire the great action, to create
the atmosphere for high endeavor.
One big ringing appeal from Mr.. Taft,
showing that he felt for the masses OF
this country and meant, if possible,
that there should be a fairer division
of burdens, that he saw the shame Of
bartering legislation for political sup
port and meant to break the practice
if he could, would have been worth
three times the concessions obtained
It is the spirit of tariff reform, thu
zeal for honest schedules, the deter
mination that determinations shall b.
done away with, indignation at tn
wretched and shameless alliance
back of the bills, that it was for Mr.
! Taft to feel and to foster. But it i
evident that he did not feel thes
things, and so could not foster them
He had an opportunity to lead in
great moral awakening on the mos
serious matter since the days Of slav
cry. He did not understand the Is
J sue. He saw merely the chance {
doing some tinkering, which he di
manfully and effectively"

Eat More Apples.

Farmers and others who have a
good apple orchard handy will be in
terested in what 'Naturopath" has to
say about their value for medicinal
purposes; apple eating, especially
before retiring, is very beneficial to
health. Apples are very nutritious,
for they contain more phosphoric acid
than any other fruit or vegetable. If
eaten before retiring, the brain and
liver will be benefited; undisturbed
sleep is produced; the odor OF the
mouth is disinfected; the superfluous
acids of the stomach are restrained;
hemorrhoidal disturbances are para
lyzed secretions of the kidneys are
accelerated, and the formation of
stone prevented. The eating of APP
pies is also an excellent preventive of
indigestion, and of certain forms of
throat troubles.
This stray verse emphasizes the
suggestion:
Apple a day, keeps the doctor away;
Apple at night, starve him outright;
Apple each meal and one for sleep
Kill him and shroud him and bury
him deep!
From the Southern Churchman.

Buried in Her Bridal Robes

Miss Bertha Marie Rush, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James P. Rush, of
Denver, Idaho, was buried in the
Denver cemetery on Sunday, March
the 21st, 1909. After an illness of
nearly two weeks Miss Rush died a
victim of spinal meningitis. The
funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian Church at Denver, con-
Quoted by Rev. c. T. Mcdonald of
Grangeville.
Deceased was born in Idaho Coun-
ty, Nov. 20, 1890, and was baptized
into Christ June the 21st, 1903, liv-
ing a consecrated Christian life to the
time of her death.
A host of sorrowing friends as
sembled in one of the largest funerals
ever held on the prairie to pay the
last tribute of respect to one univer-
sally loved for her modest, sweet wo-
manliness. The same friends unite
in sympathy for the parents in their
loss and for three surviving sisters and
four brothers; one of whom, William
Rush, was reached by telegraphio
communication at GlenWood Springs.
Col, barely in time to enable him tc
be present at the funeral.
The sadness of Miss Rush's death
was intensified by the fact that sht
was to have been married March 2oth
to Mr.. Ed. Knorr, a young man of tn,
prairie, who shares in the high regart
in which his bride-to-be was held
The wedding arrangements were con-
summated on the day on which th'
first illness occurred and the gar
ments made in happy anticipation fo
the bride were transformed into ;
shroud for the dead.
A sad coincident of this death ha
been discovered in the fact that Mrs
Telith Mattox, grandmother of tn,
deceased was buried sixteen years age
to the day of Miss Rush funeral
was buried in the same cemetery, ant
the funeral services held in the sam,
church.
In her death the parents are beref
of flial love and the community
of a sweet and useful influence.

Pedagogical Pebbles

This week closes our seventh
month.
Vacation next week.
Two months, eight weeks after
vacation.
The minstrel show took in over
$50, they will clear something over
S100.
We have heard many favorable
comments on the minstrels, especially
upon the singing, the chorus work in
particular. People enjoy a large
chorus, always, if the music is well
rendered.
After vacation we are to have a
lecture by Prof Vaughan, of the
State University, an entertainment
by the third grade, the contest in
defamation, and the regular COM
mencement exercises. Besides these
the state superintendent is urging that
we prepare an exhibit for the Seattle
exposition. All this in addition to
regular work will keep us quite busy.
Miss Ida Wickman was absent
from school duties last week but is
once more at her desk at work.
The final examination given by
the state to eighth graders, were
given last week in our schools to
about fifty pupils in Mrs. Spedden'
and Miss Haley's rooms, in the
eight subjects usually studied in thai
grade. The subject of geography
was given to all seventh grade pupil:

the jurisdiction of the operating COM
pany, according to the arrangement,
would embrace the line from here to
Rparia, and the line from Joseph
Junction to Grangeville, with track
privileges over the Northern Pacific
from Lewiston to Joseph.
He said his company had no plans
for extending the line from Sites
to Harpster, and that there was no
foundation for the many rumors rela-
tive to such construction that have
been current for the past several
weeks. At the present time the
Northern Pacific officials are giving
more attention to getting the line to
Grangeville in proper operation than
to any new construction in this terri
tory.

Roadbed on New Line Will be
Made the Very Best.
RATES TO BE LOWERED
South Fork Trail and Road Prop
per Move, Says MIR. Jordan.

General Agent w. ]. Jordan. of
the n. p. was in the city Tuesday on
one of his regular trips of inspection.
In conversation with the Globe re-
porter he discussed several matters of
interest to Grangeville and Camas
Prairie, among other things the mat
ter of stock shipments. He said it
had been the intention of the party of
officials who visited here last week to
announce that stock would be accept
ed right way over this line, but that
the trip over the road satisfied them
concluSively that it would be taking
too great risk, in the present condi-
ton of the roadbed. But the deci-
sion was reached that the moment
the frost was out of the ground work
would be begun with a good force of
men and continued until this line had
as good a roadbed as any in the
system. 1t is estimated that $500
per mile will be expended in this work
of Improvement. Every tie will be
raised and gravel will be tamped
under it until perfectly level and per-
manent, and all the road will be
ballasted.
AS soon as the road is in proper
condition, which will be about the
first of the summer, stock will be ac-
cepted and the rate will be lowered
to moderate figure to induce ship
ments. In consideration of the needs
of our city in the matter of building
muterial, the price on shipments of
brick has just been lowered something
like forty per cent, which will be a
substantial assistance to our city and
community
In regard to the extension of the
Clearwater branch from Sites to
Harpster, Mr.. Jordan said: There
is absolutely nothing in it. No such
decision has been reached, and no
such extension is now contemplated,
nor is the extension of the Grange
vile line now being considered.
This is simply speculative talk from
the outside and not from the railroad
officials. .
: i cannot commend too highly the
: movement in Grangeville to build the
South Fork trail and road into the Elk
City mining district, said Mr..
Jordan. 1t is a sensible move that
should be completed at all hazard at
the earliest date. Elk City is destined
to be one of the leading, if not the
, leading, mining district of the north
west My recent visit in there was a
/ revelation to me. The matter oi
e transportation and lack of capital,
I which latter has held off because of the
e almost inaccessibility of the country, i.
all that has kept that mining belt from
: fame and wealth. 1t cannot be helo
e back much longer, in my Judge
: ment.

CITIZENS TURN OUT
Everything Lovely-All Hands
Felicitate Each Other.

In response to short order notih-
cation on last Thursday that Pres.
Elliott, Of the N. p, and a number
4 Of other railway swells would reach
.Grangevlle about 2 p. m. on a tour
\ Of the country in special train, the

They were given a hearty welcome
and reciprocated in like manner; in
fact, they acted like human beings,
and very respectable ones, at that
not cloven foot or horn was dis
played by single one of the party
during the entire stay of an hour.
No set speeches were made, but a
tree and easy, go-as-you-please con-
versatlon was carried on, during
which each side complimented the
other on their good looks and happy
condition, and felicitated each other
on having met. The citizens offered
the magnates the run of the town,
which was declined with thanks owing
to the lack of time; and not to be
outdone the visitors responded with
an invitation for the citizens to in
spect their plush upholstering and sill
yer mounted sideboard-which was
not declined. Everybody was GLAD
'ney were there, and only regretted
'hey had not come sooner and couldn'
stay longer. Pres. Elliott said he wa.
glad they had built into this goodiy
land OF ours, and his only regret was
mat they had not been able to get the
