THE POLITICAL TINsEL
A WOMAN VOTER

Senator Heyburn's arraignment Of
the initiative and referendum, aud
other trimmings that are being pre-
pared for attachment to the political
wearing apparel went to the very
vitals of the subject Stable govern
ment is what all sane people want
1t does not seem possible to have
it if it is made easy for passion and
prejudice to rule.
During the free silver craze it was
positively dangerous in certain parts
of the country to voice an opposing
sentiment. In such localities. in some
instances, including whole states, the
public mind was in such a ferment
it would not have been difficult TO
have prejudiced internal warfare if
not an outbreak against the federal
government. Today. even the hot
heads of those times admit their err
ror But if they had been possess
ed of means during their delirium 20
have fastened a dangerous policy up
on the country they would have done
it, Similar situations are liable to
arise at any time in state. In the
heat of passion irresponsible agencies
might readily undo the g0od work of
years and bring about chaos.
LET the people rule" is the cry.
Certainly. And they do rule, but they
rule under circumstances that force
the predication of action upon moo
Grafton. There is times under our
political system for tamper to sub
side and for calm reason to assert
itself. With the proposed trim
mings there would be no moment
when there would be subversive ag--
tation. The courts would be intim-
idate: public officials would be men-
aced by radical individual opinion
In a word, there would be lacking
the stability and integrity that are
inseparable from good government.
Such a situation eventually works
the greatest injury to those who
bring it about. They are the least
able to withstand the shock of un-

settled conditions.
Senator heyburn's warning was
timely. Politics has already develop
Ell enough Of the clownish and of the
tinsel of the circus ring.
The feature referred to was not the
only strong point of Senator Hey
burns address. His exposition of the
false alarm over the tariff was as
truthful as 1t was edifying The tar
iff law is not all that was hoped for
il by the advocates of downward re-
vision, but it is an improvement. But
the enemies of the law, in other
words. the enemies of the republican
party, attempt to make it appear that
it seriously affects the cost Of lig-
ing. AS a matter of fact there is
nothing entering into the cost of nee
essaries that is affected by the tar
if law, excepting in a manner benz
fetal to the people The local trusts,
not the tariff, are blameable, and She
people can control them if they viii.
If the democratic doctrine should
prevail. the country would experience
ansera of lower prices, but also an
era Of low wages and scant employ
ment. just as it did before when that
party was in power Senator Hey
burn brought this out clearly and
came right home to Idahoans with
it when he recalled the time when
wheat was sold in this state at 10
cents a bushel under the democratic
low price regime, and work was
scarce at 81 day
There is a sharp contrast between
those days and the days Of prosper
itv under republican policies. with
plenty of work at good wages.
1t does a man no good if things
are cheap and he has not the money
with which to purchase them

McDougal is man Of substantial

Ex-President Roosevelt has been
getting himself into lots Of trouble
of late The question is now be-
ing discussed throughout the coun-
try as to whether this truly wonder
full man is a statesman first, and
politician afterwards, or a politi-
clan first and statesman after
wards. A great many western in
surgents are inclined towards the
latter view When he was sweeping
the west a short while ago on waves
Of unceasing ovation, he was hailed
as a leader Of leaders of the insur-
gent or progressive movement in the
republican party The rock on
which the republican party split into
insurgent and stand-pat camps was
the Payne-Aldrich tariff The pro-
gressive republicans have attacked
that measure with more. bitterness
and .yirulence than the democratic
have ever done.
AT the recent New York conven-
ton which Roosevelt dominated jim

bill was Endorsed and also President

good intentions only, which are adj
mitted even by the democrats as we'll

the Insurgents do. not endorse. so
when a convention goes further than
to indorse President Taft's good in

camp.

No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, liberation, local weak

periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and NERVOUS prostration, and it is

From the Cottage Window
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS

Gavin Cuthbert tossed feverishly
about his great four.post bed. mutter-
ing broken sentences. His mother
strained every nerve In an effort to
catch the words. Perhaps her mother
love could fathom some slight longing
In her sons rawlings.
AS she bent over him 10 smooth his
rumpled hair she caught the word
music" II was repeated again and
again with an accent OF longing.
Mrs. Cuthbert stood suddenly erect.
Why had she been SO dense? Gavin
loved music and through his delirium
his very soul was calling for It.
She quickly enumerated her musical
friends and realized that her task
would be difficult; II was August and
the city's population was scattered
broadcast She and Mr.. Cuthbert had
returned from the Isle OF Wight at the
hrst intimation OF their sons illness.
They were now In "Kingscroft," their
country estate In Nottingham.
To find some one who could WELD
the power of song? Mrs. Cuthbert's
hand was on the bell to order the Ian
dau for her drive to the station when
she stopped. An idea had suddenly
presented itself.
Often when driving down the lane,
Mrs. Cuthbert had heard woman's
voice emanating from tiny, wistaria-
covered cottage that nestled just off
the road. Beyond the fact that Mrs.
Wallace and her daughter from Amer
ic. occupied THE Cottage" Mrs. Cuth-
bert's knowledge was limited. Feel
ing that the voice that came from the
cottage would appeal to Gavin she did
not hesitate in her purpose.
Ten minutes later. the Heavy gate OF
the cottage swung back, admitting
her to the understanding gardens.
When young girl with two thick
braids OF golden hair answered the fall
OF the brass knocker Mrs. Cuthbert
faced very beautiful picture framed
In the low doorway.
Il hope introductions are unneces-
sary in SO small a community" began
the elder woman with smile.
IL have come on peculiar mission"
she continued, but many things are
permissible where illness calls am

UNCLE JOE CANNON
HE ALSO SPEAKS WELL OF CAN
ADA.

No matter what may be the opinion
OF Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter if
he may be looked upon by some as
a car, and by others as big warm
hearted man, with many of the in.
stincts that make humanity very bear
able, all will admit that he is a man
who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have TO say therefore
on any subject. will have weight. OBJ
servant, he speaks his mind freely.
He was interviewed the other day by
the correspondent Of Canadian
newspaper. He spoke of his admiration
for Canada, and he is quoted in way
that pictures fairly well the personaf
OF the man. The correspondent says
he launched out into personal BIZ
ography, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal comment, cynical scorn, broad pro-
family and sentimental poetry such as
one rarely hears in the space of an
hour. He discussed the Canadian Ia
riff, and then said: People say /
break the Ten Commandments, all of
them. But don't, at least not often.
/ did break one of them up in Canada
two or three years ago. AS l rode
from Winnipeg to the Rockies over
your great West and saw the finest
wheatfields in the world, thought of
Virginia and lot of our States, and
l smashed the Tenth Commandment
every hour of the journey. Yes, sir,
/ coveted my neighbours land" Com.
ing from a man of the fame of Mr..
Cannon, these were words that should
have some weight with the Americans
who may still have doubts of the ad.
vantages that are offered to them In
Western Canada. A home amongst
the wheatfields. Hundreds of thou.
sands of Americans are adopting it.
They go TO Central Canada, to any
one of the three Provinces of Mani.
toba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, or to
the Coast Province of British Column
bia, take up their homestead of 160
acres, and probably pre-empt another
160 acres, or it may be they do not
care for pioneering twenty or thirty
miles from an existing railway, and
purchase farm. Then they settle
upon it and, having no clearing away
of timber they begin at once to cul-
tivate it, and make money. That they
make money and much more than
they could possibly make on the high
priced farms they have left, is the
evidence Of hundreds of thousands.
They do not leave civilized life, they
but remove from one sphere to an.
other. They have splendid social con-
ditions, churches, schools, rural tele-
phones, splendid roads, railways, con-
venient just the same as what they
left, and what is more, they get much
greater returns from their crops,
which give abundant yield. The eli
mate Is perfect, and it Is no wonder
that most flateering reports are sent
back to their friends in the States.
and It is no wonder that Joe Cannon
was tempted to speak as he did. He
coveted" his neighbours land.

She had her way and few moments
later Ruby Wallace was sitting at Ca.
wins piano which was visible through
the doorway OF his private sitting
room. Like the ripple of a woodland
brook, the prelude TO an old negro
melody drifted into the room. Her
voice was not ordinary; in fact. II was
very rare, possessing the quality OF
tone that goes right to the heart and
iightens the shadows of life. AS she
sang, the patient became interested,
then calm, and finally the dull apathy
faded from his eyes and they closed
into tranquil sleep. A deep sigh of re-
lief escaped Mrs. Cuthbert and she.
too, was soon lost in 'long-needed
rest. A tear glistened on her lashes
and Ruby Wallace. seeing 1t and the
sleeping man, knew that she had won
one OF the greatest triun phs of her
life. She played on. from one melody
to another.
Gavin's eyes opened slowly; they
rested on the profile OF girl who
seemed TO be all delft blue and gold !;

and trailed down her back where II

GREAT BUTCHERY
is RECALLED

Paris, June 11.-(Special. 1.-The an
nouncement of the death at the French
penal settlement in Guiana OF the con-
Wet Brierre recalls one of the most ter
ribe butcheries in criminal history, and
also what in the opinion of mahy people
was a grave judicial error. Brierre had
been in Guiana for 10 years, and it was
ar nounced only a few weeks ago that he
was to be pardoned The crime for which
was afterward commuted-was that OF
numbering his five little children, the
eldest of whom was 16.
The tragedy occurred in April. 1901,
at Corancez village near Charities.
Brerre spent the evening at the cafe,
leaving his 16-year-old daughter Clara in
charge of her brother and three little
sisters In the early morning Brierre
was found outside his house grooming
and complaining of injuries which he said
had been inflicted on him by two indl-
y!duals who attacked him as he was
about to enter the house. Inside the
house the five children were found dead.
horribly murdered by means OF knife
and ploughshare. Brierre was not
believed, and he was arrested on the
charge of numbering the children, the al
legged motive being that he wanted to rid
himself of them In order to marry again.
There was a sixth child, Germaine, who
happened to be in Paris when the rest
of the family were wiped out. During
his Imprisonment Brierre never ceased
to write to Germaine. protesting his In
