Mondell On Forestry Service.

Washington, Feb. GA severe at
tack on the forestry service was made
in the house today by Mr.. Mondell,
of Wyoming. He denounced it as the
most autocratic bureau Of govern

Il notice that next year. he said
the forests are to be protected,

conserved by the purchase of $34.-
624 worth OF typewriters, $4,000

He ridicules the appropriation ot

"ChairN v

Churchgoers who follow the service fin their prayer books would certainly miss the dear old phrase' concerning "quires and places where they sing" and in time the old fashioned "quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. "Choir" was a most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng fish "quer' or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer" or "quire." and so 1t remained until the end of the seven teenth century. when somebody seems to have introduced "choir" bcause 1t looked more like the French 'choeur," as if that were valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus- ing church "quire" and ''quire' of paper, which is different word. the French "cahier." probably from Latin "quaternarium," collection of four London Standard

Strikinq a Comet.

If we ask the effect of a comets striking the earth we will readily see that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders d collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would, of course, bring catastrophe. If, however. it were merely rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface. If the gases lib- erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster. 1t is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti. clcs strike our atmosphere every day. This would be a serious matter if we were not protected by our great shcl- terin" envelope of air. Occasionally a meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric. tion and reaches the surface. This we call Il meteorite The now established connection between comets and me teors is q matter of great interest," Ralph E. Larkin in North American Review.

E xockadcs and But.ona,

The cockade originated simply in tho
 knot of ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth cen tury round hat were "cocked' or drawn up to the brim in fine weather, and thus originated the three cornered hat as well as the cooked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage. as the ig. norant assert. The same strings sur vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other eceleSiastical digntarieS in Great Britain. in the strings of tue hats worn by French cures and Span ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to cock" their hats witt, the livery color of the prince they served. and as the Hanovcrian color was the convenient one of black the "black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform In an old Scotch song of Shirramuir. citing Wood words Her a,dry." we read of ''the red aoat lads with black cockades." and knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot in the form of a rosette of ribbon. survived, just as did the buttons on tle backs of our coats. which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.

Locked Shah In House of Commons

A shah of Persia, who made a state visit to England in 1873, had a curi- ous experience in the distinguished strangers gallery of the house of com mons. He soon got tired of watching the legislators at work. but when he made a moye to go he was told he could not leave the gallery. It hap peneq at that moment that division was called, and in accordance with the practice which then prevailed all the doors of the house were locked until the vote was taken. MT Gladstone made an interesting comment on the incident. Ut is,'' he wrote in his jour nal, ''probably, or possibly, the first time for more than 300 years that a foreign sovereign has been under per sonal restraint of any kind in Eng land. ."-Westminster Gazette.

POLITICS WARMING UP.

Bartlett Sinclair, who is said to
know thing or two on almost all
public matters, after trip through the
south part of the state, delivers him
self of the following diagnosis of the
political symptoms:
Idaho can always be counted on
to manifest an interest in politics. We
have three avowed candidates for gov
erno-Paul Clagstone of Bonner
county, B. F. O'Neil of Shoshone
county and Governor Brady. They
are all men of affairs, bright, alert and
experts in the political game. Our
election occurs next fall and it will be
the first test of the direct primary law.
All the candidates profess to be for
this law. GLADSTONE represents the new
element in our politics, while O'Neil
and Brady are supposed to be ad-
herents of the old school. This is
likely to be the issue in this race.
So far we have only two candi-
dates for congregational Hamer,
the present member, and B. l..
French, who served several terms. A
third will in all probability enter the
race, perhaps from Kootenai county,
and make the race on a platform OPP
posing Cannon for speaker and favor
ing policy of internal improvements
in accordance with views expressed by
President Taft The selection of
this latter candidate will shortly be an
nounced.
The assiduity with which our
political aspirants court the sovereign
people just before election is wonder
full The practice of addressing
county fairs, cross-road schools, kiss
ing babies, shaking hands and brush
ing up in the matter of church and
lodge attendance is part of the pro-
gram. All candidates must declare in
favor of a state railroad from Bear
lake to Bonner, navigable rivers all
over the state, reclamation and irriga-
ton everywhere. Senator Borah' S
$40, 900, 900 reclamation bond bill is
popular in Idaho and candidates are
all for it.

THE Lewiston Tribune, presuma-
bly, after partaking freely of heart
soup, and for the nonce forgetting
that blessed Jefersonian- Jacksonian-
Bryanian trinity, to which it pledged
fealty through long line of ancestors
ages before it came upon the scene of
action, had the good grace recently to
compllme mt the republican governor
of the state on his trip into the north
Idaho forest belt, remarking: Here
is demonstration of dealing with the
public business correctly and force
fully But, alas, the rude awak-
ening from this brief and trans
tory dream, in which the writer
and Brady were for the time
being Americans only, citizens of a
common country, ready to deal fairly
with each others best qualities! The
good things of life are heeting at best;
the effect of the soup is gone; Rich
ard is himself again with the icy heart
and the cold, steely stare of the stage
villain, and he finishes that brief sem
tence up with the derogatory phrase
for once" And then proceeds
in that fault-6nding, partisan strain
to ask: why not in more instancesi

impulse that suggests broad, just and
fair-minded course of action in dealing

the liquor laws, convicted in the third
judicial district would receive the
maximum penalty under the statute, a
fine of $500, instead of 500, the
minimum imposed upon Walton.
Walton pleaded no funds and was
sentenced to the county Jail to serve
out at the rate of 81. 90 per day, acting
upon the advice of his counsel, w.

plication for writ of habeas corpus,

the supreme court today seeking the
release of Walton on the ground that
his imprisonment is without authority

law of the state is being violated if
liquor is disposed of under any pretext
whatever in connection with a pre-
tended club which the members are
compelled to join before being served.
