THE GOODY GOOD

The worst of all imposters is the re-
ligiOus impOSter. / have no regard
for a man who thinks he is religious
when he is only bilious. He is the
man who asks me in the midst of my
dinner if | am saved, or while | am
in the midst of shaving if | am not
looking for or have found Christ. He
is the. fungus growth on the body of
the church, who has grave and solemn
fears for the salvation of every mem
Der of the human family save himself,
and who believes he is the very per
sonifaction of the Savior and that he
alone is burdened with the responsible
ity of saving the souls of all mankind
1t is marvellous what harm is done by
those people who represent religion
in sack-cloth and ashes and the good
done by those who make it the most
beautiful thing in the world-a thing
which causes us to love life.-SanfOrd
Herald.
1t is no doubt true that the severely
devout and the "goody good" do much
more harm than good for the cause
they represent.
We know of a few persons who are
so "unco good" as Burns expresses it
that they cannot compromise theiI
conscience by reading a paper on
Sunday that was printed Saturday
night, but feel no conjunction of con
science whatever in eating a steam
ing hot Sunday dinner, or for that
matter, three square meals steaming
hot every Sunday, forgetting that il
requires labor on the Sabbath day
TO prepare the same.
But the tribe of people who strain
at gnats and swallow camels" viii
never perish from the earth. We viii
always have them with us.

An old soldiers colony is to be es-
tablished near Kissimmee, and 5000
acres of land have been purchased for
that purpose. The undertaking is al
ready an assured success. Twelve
years ago a similar move was made
at Fitzgerald, Ga, and now that place
has between $4,000 and 10000 inhab-
itants. The undertaking in Florida
should prove as big a success as it
did at Fitzgerald, for certainly the op-
pOrtunities here for the old soldiers
from the north to succeed are much
better than in Georgia, with an in
comparable climate and a fertile soil
for fruits, vegetables and farming

THE ANCIENT CITY

Florida should be more and more
proud of her historic city. 1t should
be a matter for congratulatiOn that
the date of it's founding has been set
aside for an annual celebration.
This year the celebration was On a
more elaborate scale than ever be-
fore, and there were more visitors to
witness the gay and joyful pageantry.
More and more the crowds will in
crease and in time these annual cele-
brations will become to st. Augustine
what Mardi Gras is to New Orleans.
This year it was grander than it
was last year, and there were more
people to witness it; next year the
celebration will be more complete
and artistic in every way, and the his
toric celebration will becOfe a state
affair.
We never saw more elaborate and
profuse and beautiful decorations
Every building was draped with Span
ish and American flags, bunting, Jap
anese lanterns and myriad electric
cOlored Jets. There were rows of Jap
anese lanterns on either side of the
streets as far as the eye could see, and
every building was brilliantly illumi
mated. The trees were spangled with
electric lights. like Joseph's coat o.
many colors, which presented scene
of dazzling beauty.
All the people of st. Augustine be
came thoroughly imbued with the pa
triotic impulse and worked in har
mony for its success.
There were local, state and United
States troops, Indian wig vans anC
villages. Indians on foot and on horse
| back. Indians OF all sexes and all age
from little pappooses" to shriyeleC
old men and women: there wer,
lbandS of music. Spanish grandees an,
nOblomen, and men and women, girl
and boys in all sorts of gay and gaud,
attire, and at night every boy an,
girl i'm the city had all the mirth tina
could be obtained from ringing bell
Of all unmusical sizes and the throw
ing of confetti and other carniva
/ amuSements.
There were banquets, balls and re
ceptions, and something was done t
appeal to the taste and crafty tn
pleasure of all.
The Ancient City did herself prou
in her celebration and the press of tn
state should do its part in maxim
these celebrations known to the pei
pie, for if known they are obliged t
become popular.

RAISING FLAX

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an advertisement of Chambers
& Gaddis for flax. These men offer
to contract for the product of 49,
900 acres of fax for next years de-
livery. The country around Pull
man is an ideal flax producing sec
ton and in past years yields varying
from 20 to 35 bushels per acre were
grown here. 1t may pay farmers to
Investigate this proposition. If a
yield of rs to 80 bushels can be
grown, and the price remains as 1t is
now and is expected to be for sew
eral years-from 81 to $1.3O per
bushel, there are few crops that will
pay better than fax and the straw
is as good for feed as ordinary hay.
1t is said that flax leaves the ground
in good condition for grain and is an
ideal alternating crop for Palouse
country land.

THE PULLMAN CITY ELECTION

Pullman people should awaken to
the fact that a city election is to be
held in December and men must be
nominated Tor the county officers.
The simple fact that there is no sa-
loon issue to quarrel about does not
relieve the citizens from their duties
as voters, and the town must be man
aged and 1t should be handled in
businesslike way. This is the larg-
est town in Whitman county. Its
future Is of enough Importance to
interest every voter. If taxes are to
be high or low. the people must take
an interest in city politics. This does
not mean that there should be a
hight over the selection of candidates,
1t means quite the contrary, that the
people should get together and unite
on good men who will look after the
city's interests as their own, and not
try to favor certain men or factions.
but work for the general good OF all
or the people.
Wake up, and look about you, Mr..
Voter. See who would make good
mayor, a good councilman from your
ward, or a good officer in some other
position and try to induce that man
to become a candidate for the ONCE
for which you think he is htted'
Pullman needs O business administra-
ton. 1t needs to have men at the
helm who will take an interest IN
the affairs of the town and try 10
improve conditions here.

They Didn't Have to Change.


During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford 1t and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Oats; regular size packages
and the large size family package;
the latter both with and without
china.

There was near riot" in Pull
man last Sunday when Rev" Mr..
Pickle, well-known character, tried
to hold services in the city band
stand. A large crowd gathered and
many of the younger members of
the crowd proceeded to have fun
with Mr.. Pickle. They were having
a general good time, the younger
people assisting the preacher in the
singing of hymns, but instead of the
words of the hymns they used the
words of the college songs or SINH
lar music" greatly to their own en-
joyment. Truant Officer tanning
came along and he was feeling pretty
good himself. He tried to stop the
entertainment but only furnished a
comedy act for the show for Mr..
Pickle refused to heed the officers
instructions to move on" and the
crowd stayed with the preacher.
Marshall Baymiller hove in sight
and took hand in the fray, adding
more com edy. The crowd called him
the "Bingville Cop" and had much
fun at his expense. After blocking
the streets for an hour or more and
having more sport than they had en-
joyed for a long time, several hun
dred people, including a number of
women, dispersed and Mr. Pickle
left and the show was over.

THIS is A GREAT COUNTRY

In another column Is told the story
~ Ave young men who, less than
ton years ago were employed as
farm laborers upon a farm near Pull
man and today they own 1880 acres
There is a lesson and inspiration in
this recital. s. H. Breeze, who has
inst bought 220 acres of the land on
which he worked as a laborer, pay
ing $65 per acre for it, Is a model
farmer. He has been successful be-
cause of several good reasons. First,
he had confidence in himself and In
the country; second, he was indus
trious and not afraid of work; third,
he used business judgment. There
il an old saying and true one that
"What man has done man may do"
This applies to this case.
There Is just as good chance to-
day for the young man of energy,
business judgment and ability to
work, as there was when Mr.. Breeze
came here. In fact the chances are
better Farming here is no longer
an experiment. There is no doubt
In the mind of the farmer when he
+ d
good harvest, in which there will be
9 good profit on his labor and in
vestment. A man from Kansas who
visited this country last summer
said to the writer: You people
out here do not realize what a fail
ure Is, or what blessing 1t Is to be
able to tell within a few dollars when
you plant your crop what you will
get for it. l know of no other coun-
try where farming is less risky. With
us we are always in doubt whether
we get the grain in the bin or the
corn crib. 1t seems to me it must be
great comfort to live in a country
where failures of crops are unknown.
In reviewing the case at issue it
must be borne in mind that Mr..
Breeze did not acquire his land when
1t was worth few dollars per acre,
as was the case ten years ago, but
that he has paid $65 an acre for
his land and another of the men who
worked on the farm with him, paid
1850 an acre for his farm. 1t cannot
sbe said that they bought land when
1t was cheap. They accumulated
enough to buy land during the years
when land was cheaper than it Is
now. but they have paid what we
think now Is a high price for their
land, but what, In few years, will
appear to US cheaper than the land of
ten years ago seems to us now
There Is no better country in the
world for a young man to get a
start than in the Palouse country
today, for here a sure reward awaits
industry, and business judgment
when put into intelligent labor, es-
pecially in agricultural pursuits.

SHIPPING ONIONS TO NEVADA

Max Hays, on the Cloverdale ranch
ten miles southwest of town, is pre-
pairing to ship carload of onions
to Nevada. The price there is five
cents per pound and the freight rate
is 80 cents per 100 pounds. the
price of onions here is about 81 to
$1.25 per 100 pounds. This would
leave about three cents per pound
net profit for shipping the onions to
Nevada, after paying the freight, Mr..
HAYS has a fine crop of onions, and 1t
is said he has much more than car
load. IL he gets the prices quoted
he is due to make a handsome pro-
fit on his onion crop.
