notifying him that DR.. c. j. Tomlin-
son, we'll known dentist, of Shiloh
township, had been found dead a few
hundred yards from his house under

The only cause for suicide that could

The Name of Davis.

Some forty odd years since the
name Of Jefferson Davis was erased
from government bridge near Wash
ington, and has now been restored.
Mr.. Davis was secretary of war of
the United States when his name was
inscribed on the structure, and that is
why Is was put on. He was presi-
dent of the Confederate States when
his name was erased. ~and that is why
1t was eraseds The erasure of the name
was piece Of spite and the putting
of 1t back an act of simple justice;
and, yet, but still another acknowl-
edgement Of the fact that the war is
over. The man did the work, which in
it's day was the most wonderful work Of
its kind in the world, and to this hour
supplies the city Of Washington with
water. and the work itself is his
monument.
Mr. Davis did another remarkable
thing for the old United States. He
really won the crucial battle of the
Mexican war, and thus opened up
the Pacific slope and all that vast
region lying between it and the
Rockies. At Buena Vista, Santa Anna
made his last stand, and made it
with consummate military, Skill
While his centre kept the American
centre busily employed, he hurled up
on Gen. Taylor's flank a strong body
OF lancers, at that time one Of the
most formidable cavalry forces
known to the art Of war. With PEN
mons fluttering and lance-point at the
charge, this magnificent body of
horsemen came down en- echelon, one
squadron supplementing another
just as the gleaher follows the reaper
SO as to cut the field clean. The ex-
treme flank regiment of the American
line broke, with the exception of one
company whose captin held it to its
work. This slight stand STAYED the
lancers for moment and gave Mr..
Davis, then colonel of the Mississippi
rifle regiment, time to throw his COM
mand into the breach. But his men
had no bayonets, being armed only
with short weapon called a wager.
Seeing the disadvantage. he threw his
line into the famous v formation, a
manoeuvre, still commemorated in
every work in every language on tao
tic. The v opened toward the lancers
and they had to ride into the gap or
abandon the charge. They were
brave fellows, the best blood of their
country, and they rode in. Then the |
yager. deadly weapon at close quar-
ters, spoke, and that was the end of |
the lancers. Relieved Of the fatal |
pressure on his flank, Gov. Taylor |
pressed forward his centre and the |
battle was won.
The name and the fame Of q really |
great man are beyond the reach of |
the chisel.-Augusta Chronicle.

Hyomei is confidence creator
The first time you breathe in this pow

chitis, etc.
If your head is so stuffed with mu-
cous that you cannot breathe a par

lief in five minutes.
Why will sensible people suffer
longer, why will they wheeze and

Coroner S. F. Flowers held the in
quest at Shiloh on Saturday over the
case Of DR.. c. j. Tomlinson, who COM
mitted suicide at his home on Fri
day afternoon and the verdict was
that the deceased came to his death as
the result of wounds self-inflicted.
DR.. Tomlinson was missed from his
home Friday afternoon, and as he
had been in a respondent frame of
mind for some time his brothers be-
came alarmed at once and instituted
search for him. He was not found
until after nightfall and he had then
been dead several hours. He was
found in the woods a short distance
from his home, with his throat cut
and razor clasped in his right hand
so firmly that his fingers had to be
pried open to remove it. There was
also a deep cut on the leg just above
the ankle that severed the arteries
DR.. Tomlinson had evidently first cut
the arteries In his leg so that he
might bleed to death slowly but had
then cut his throat, there being two
gashes each OF which severed the ju-
gular vein. DR.. Tomlinson was 36
years old and unmarried.

The TOrrens System of Land Title
Registration.

Registration.
The late Governor William =. Rms.
sell of Massachusetts, in his special
message to the senate and house of
representatives recommending the
'Torrens Land Title Registration Svs-
tem," says:
In view of the great benefits To
be realized by the adoption of this
measure. I believe it is the longest
step to that freedom, security and
cheapness of land transfers which is
conceded to be so desirable in the in
terest of the people.
1.-The need of some new system of
land transfers is shown by the ever
increasing discomfort and dissatisfac-
ton caused by delays and expense at
tending our present methods, which Is
by no means perfect. The delay and
expense attending it form a serious tax
upon purchasers and mortgagors of
land and bears with especial weight
upon owners of small estates. Under
our practice a new examination Of
the title is usually made upon each
sale or mortgage of a piece of land.
in spite fthe fact that sufficient ex-
aminations may have been made in
former transactions.
'These repeated denominations.
generally needless, not only cause
useless expense. but delays which
often involve a serious loss.
Under the Torrens system an Off
cial examination is substituted for an
unofficial one, and the result when
once sufficiently ascertained is given
conclusive effect in favor of the own
er. and his title is made perfect
against all the world. A marked
contrast between the two systems.
Then again a title is examined once
for all and there is no need for re-
examination, as all subsequent acts
and proceedings must be brought to
the registrar to be noted on the Off
cial records and placed upon the du-
plicate certificate in the owners pos
session. A transaction of the ut
most simplicity and carrying with It
absolute security.
"a further feature OF this system
is the convenience and relief afford
ed to all who desire or are compelled
to borrow money on mortgage. The
facility Of raising money easily and
cheaply upon landed security is of
great consequence To the prosperity
and development OF all communities
and at times when loans are contract
ed and credit is shaken it would be
OF great benefit to business if all the
real estate of the community, posses
sing as it does, greater stability of
value than anything else, could be
made as Immediately available for a
means of raising money as stocks of
good or other personal property. In
effect under the Torrens system every
right is equitably protected and every
interest faithfully preserved, the State
provides a proper proceeding in
which anyone can have his rights in
relation to a piece of land declared,
and established, not only as against
particular persons but also against
everybody. Yet its use is optional
and not compulsory. 1t remains en-
tirely within the option of every land
owner whether he will avail himself
of the privileges offered by the new
system or not, and therefore no one
loses any rights which he now pos
sesses.'

GROOMING ROOSEVELT.

There is considerable talk among
the former close friends Of Roose-
welt that President Taft is not max.
ing good and that it will be neces-
sary for the country to re-eleci
their former chief in 1912 II any
thing worth while is to be accomp-
lished along the line of what is
known as the Roosevelt Policy"
II is safe to say. however, that this
talk is without the knowledge or
consent of the former president.
Much Of the talk is no doubt due to
the controversy between Pinchot
and Ballinger. Pinchot persistently
refuses to work in accord with his
present chief.

A big headed man jumped us about

"but don't you remember how you

wrong. 1t is different now" And
we listened even to him. There are
things that an editor can't suppress.
There are other things that he can
forget with propriety. AS far as
we are concerned, we would rather
lessen the grief of a parent than to
throw out a morsel for the vulgar,
gossiping public to feed upon. We
would rather wipe away the tears
from the eyes of a mother than to
'have nerve" enough to join heart
less crowd Of flying tongues and sink
the iron deeper into her tender
soul So when in this neighboring
paper we failed to find what we
wanted we made no comment. But
down deep in our heart we admired
that editor and liked him better be-
cause he had a heart that was tender,
and he would rather listen to the
jibes of the unfeeling public than to
the sobs of the heartbroken mother

HAS CORRECT IDEA.

The Parma Herald has religiously
refrained from doing anything and
everything that would indicate that
we wanted to interfere in any way
with the work of public service cor
porations that were doing their best,
or anything that looked like it. for
the people who are using every
effort to build up this section Of
Idaho. However. the time has come
when we have to revise our methods
and work to existing conditions.
Recent developments in the railroad
service have compelled the Herald.
in the interests of the people, to
come squarely out for railroad
commission and the regulation Of
railroad traffic in Idaho. We have
been hoping against hope that the
railroads in general. and the Oregon
Short Line in particular, would do
something to ameliorate conditions,
but the reverse is the result. Our
passenger service is the same that
we had twenty-five years ago, and
our freight service is worse. With
conditions as they are. we are going
to ask the next Idaho Legislature TO
give us a railroad commission and a
strict regulation Of the traffic OF
Idaho roads.
Oregon has railroad commission,
and the passenger trains that pass
up such towns in Idaho as Welser,
Payette, Caldwell. Gooding, Sho-
shone. and Others Of like merit,
cheerfully stop on flag at every sidr-
track in Oregon. Likewise, eastern
freight TO Nyssa. Ontario, Hunting
ton. Baker City, ETC., is much less
than to towns in Idaho east of those
points. There is only one reason for
this discrimination so far as the
Hersld can discover, and that is
that Oregon has a railroad commits

Idaho has not Therefore. in the
