THE GOOD NAME OF
THE STATE.

Right thinl1ing people everywhere
commend the action OF Governor
sGlasscock in going to the scene of
Threatened lyncning and talking to the
people against such procedure. Fac
ing an angry mob is no easy thing to
do and it must have been a frying ex-
,perfence for the governor but he was
right and when a man is right he can
be COURAGEOUS. Already the chief of
Tender In the Gassaway iniamy had
paid the penalty OF his hefnous crime
VIII lie attempting to resist arrest and
lit was not certain That the other men
under arrest were guilty, Therefore, 1t
would have been deep humiliation
to the State authorities for West Vir-
gfnia6t6t have added a double lJnchiDg
to q record already unenviable for
such methods in melting QUIT justice.
ut. is to be hoped that the reports of
inutiny in the ranks of the national
guard are false for If the national
.guarlsnlen would fail to preserve or
der; or execute the governors COM
inaild they are unworthy of the po-
sftion they hold and ought to be mus.
tered out of the service. LynchinE Is
IA disgrace to thu State, no matter
how great the provocation. The courts
are reasonably prompt in trying cases
of men accused of heinous crimes and
Justice ought to be allowed to take Its
proper course in all cases. The gov
ernor and the State are to be congrat-
ulated that tine threatened double

From all points wnere the res
ervation lands are being drawn
come reports of all manner of
hold-ups and the picking of pock-
cts and even the snatching of
money as it is being paid out at
the registry offices. The world
is full of grafters, thugs, thieves
and swindlers and the man who
travels anywhere now days should
be ever on the ebert and should
never allow a stranger to know
whether he has or has not any
money about him. People who
have lived in the country all their
lives or in small country towns
are frequently the victims of
those dishonest hordes, and all
such should carry but very little
money about them, but transact
their business if possible by
checks.

John Addison, one of the men
who represented Idaho county in
the lower branch of the tenth
legislature, is spoken of as a
candidate for governor on the
republican ticket. The only
strange thing about his candidacy
is the bringing out of his name
by the democratic Free Press.
In our opinion it would be well
to cut out the entire bunch OF
Legislators in casting about for
suitable gubernatorial timber.
They wouldn't make good pulp
wood, and that's the cheapest
kind of timber. Kooskia Mount
aineer.

1t must be admitted by all in
formed men that CottonW God is
the liveliest, greatest and best
town anywhere on the line from
Lewiston to Grangeville. Her
people are industrious, persever-
ing and hustling. Her merchants
are, progressive, accommodating
and liberal. Her banks are solid
and reliable. Her churches will
accommodate people of all de-
nominations and her schools are
models of worth and education.
She has no petty jealousies of
surrounding towns or villages,
but pushes to the front in behalf
of Cottonwood and the popula-
ton for miles around here.
Where will you find people so
generous, hospitable and kind as
the people of Cottonwood? All
hail to our town; she will be
praised and blessed by genera
tons yet unborn.

majority of the people should be
paramount or that of some thirty
eight grating senators. The de-
cision was reached when the
tariff bill which pleases no one
but the trust magnate; was
passed despite the storm of pro-
tests which went up all over the
nation from voters of all parties
alike. 1t means that Aldrich
with his band of pirates, are
greater than the republican party
which promised tariff reform.
1t decides that Aldrich and his
gang are greater than the power
which put them in Office. 1t
means that as far as the public
is concerned it has no control
over the upper house and that
that house owes no allegiance tC
any organization besides the
trusts. 1t means that the cleo
ton of the United States sena
tors by the direct vote of the
people is the one thing which
will make the grafters in the
senate listen to the cry of theil
constituents.

In a few weeks Cottonwood can
boast of a fine system of water
works that will not only accom-
modate our people in their homes
and business houses, but also
supply the means of extinguish-
ing fires and thus lessen the cost
of insurance. That with our
electric plant and splendid streets
and sidewalks brings Cottonwood
as a modern town, up to date.
Cottonwood will grow and ex-
pand and our people will have
cause to rejoice at our enterprise.

THE CONSUMER EXISTS ON
LY TO BE CONSUMED.

The debates IN Congress have
hinged around one thing, and
made one thing perfectly clear
that the protective tariff is made
only to benefit a handful of mo-
and favorites and boast
fully and defiantly ignores or
rides over the rights and inter
ests of all the other teeming mil
lions. Protectionism, as now ex-
posed in all it's nakedness and
ugliness, has few defenders left,
but they are enough since they
are in charge Of the government
and of the billion dollars a year
spoils fund in the nation and
other billions in the state and
local governments, whereWith to
keep up their organization and
their power. Even the New
York Sun, popularity known as ].
P. Morgan's organ, comments on
the fact that the nation as a
whole no longer exists now ex-
cept to magnify the profits and
the prestige of the protected
pets.
There is no doubt whatever
that man, however free he may
fancy or feel himself to be, is in
bondage just as soon as he finds
himself within the power of half
a dozen giant monopolies duly
licensed by masters in politics to
fix prices upon what he has to
buy or sell. Protection" of the
sort we have developed in this
country means ultimate servitude
for the millions and complete
control of governmental as well
as economic agencies for the
millionaires, or it means revolu-
ton. Even if the policy by
which the cost of dying as well
as the cost of living has been
doubled over and over again were
honestly pursued, if such thing
were possible, the result would
be the enslavement of the many
under the growing millions and
power of the few; but such poll
cy will not be impartially and
honestly administered. PRO
lection" is not only the mother
of trusts-it is also the mother
of the greatest and most grevious
of all CRAFTS. 1t has been a dis
honest and disreputable means
of peddling special privileges and
of buying indulgences from the
first. Protection" is the one
vast graft in this country which
has enabled associated million
aires to buy public men and
string them like catfish, to buy
seats for them in congress or
even on the bench, to buy even
the presidency itself by actually
paying Offices, spoils and money
for the balances of power in half
a dozen close states.
Even with the country as thor
enlightened as it is now,
there is serious question wheth-
er the disorganization and defeat
of the alleged representatives of
tariff reform and the growing de-
pendence on governmentalism
and public spoils have not render
ed the people weaker than thew
ever were before.

4 s NOTHING of great Importance
n has come before congress, mem
bers are putting in their spare time
between sessions gossiping and chat
ting about incidents of the last ses-
sion, most of the discussions being
about the great tariff fight. A joke

members, some of whom heard it re-

The man glanced at the front row
indicated, and cold shivers ran up
and down his backbone. 1t never had
entered his head that there would be
anything but just the prize fight to
be seen, and he realized in a second
that the man on the front seat not

that he couldn't see the slightest re-
semblance to himself in the man on
the front seat. The wife kept on
watching. however, and positively de-
clined to leave the scene, and her
mouth got "sotter and softer as she
began to realize how her husband had
lied to her. Before the end of the
third round her husband simply had to
acknowledge that the man on the front
seat was himself sure enough. He
suggested a little supper down town
to his wife, which she accepted. and
then he suggested a new long sealskin
coat, which she also accepted, and.
furthermore, she got a number OF 9th
er handsome presents which she
would O be possessed of to-day had
not that husband of hers remained
over to see the fight in Colma.
