THE Standard Oil papers are lamenting
because the newly organized High Grade

BILE for independent refners to get pro-

power price. The average oil man takes
I very little stock in such lamentations,
, realizing that the independents haye little
to expect at the hands of the "Old House"

W. G. Pope was born near Frewsburg,
N. Y, seventy. one years ago. and died of
pneumonia at the home of his son in
Kelettville on Dec. 20, 1910. The greater
part of his lie was spent in the vicinity
of Frewsburg. Forty-seven years ago
he was united in marriage with Miss
Alice Covey, to which union four chill
dren were born, of whom three are liv-
ing: Frank Pope and Mrs. Eugene Lit
tlefeld, of Frewsburg, and Charley, of
Kellettville. About twelve years ago he
moved to Kellettville, where he resided
at the time of his death. His wife was
called to Frewsburg on account of the
sickness of her daughter, and Mr.. Pope
was stayiag with his son when he was
taken with lagrippe, which soon devel-
oped into pneumonia, and in eight days
he succumbed to the disease. Short

Anent Sabbath Observance.

People cannot be coerced, these
days, in the matter of religion, nor
can they be driven to attend divine
worship. 1t is an open secret that
strenuous efforts of diyines to compel
people to more strict observance Of
the hallowed day Of rest is the result
Of business jealousy; in other words,
the churches, or rather the direct.
crate, recognizes that the tendency OF
humanity to seek rest ia pleasure
rather than fatigue within the sane
tuary, may decrease revenue for the
clergy. Hence the political libby OF
various religious denominations works
diligently to have laws enacted which
instead of proving practical. and
drawing the people clostr to Il G
church have very marked tendency
to drive them away from their proper
religious observances. II more minis
te.s would remember that Sunday
was made for man, MT man for Sun
day, they would have great deal
more influence and do much more
good.-Splrit Lake Herald.

!. { ". N. TO BURN OIL
Will Abolish Use Of Coal in Loco
motives.

AAAVSAVV0s
Chiefly to eliminate the danger
OF fire along its route, the l. & w.
N. has decided to do away with
coal as fuel, and to install oil burn
ing equipment on all OF their
locomotives. including the two
new ones which are to be delivered
by the Baldwin company, this
summer. The estimated cost of
installing the equipment is $780,
900, says the Spirit Lake Herald.
A storage tank for the crude oil
is to be built at Spirit Lake with a
capacity of 2so, 900 gallons. 1t is
said the oil will not be cheaper
than coal, but has its compensat-
ing advantages. Enough oil can
be carried by locomotive to run
twice as far as an equal weight of
coal, while the lack of sparks
eliminates all danger of fire in
forests, fields and lumber yards
through which the l. & w. N.
road runs.

State Press Comment.
It Was a Mistake.

1t was a mistake to put that rail-
road commission plank 10 the plat
form. There was no public demand
for it, and it was apparently, incor.
porated in the party declaration as a
spineless expedient to catch few
votes In certain part OF the state,
with the hope that the people else
where would forget 1t.
Platform makers in Idaho have
these lessons before them:
They cannot afford to make empty
promises.
They cannot enforce party promise
as being representative when 1t is
only the back room propaganda of q
few men.
They cannot expect to win unless
they fight for what they put in theil
platform.-Boise Statesman.

RArHDRUM's CITY HALL AND FIRE STATION.
". B. HEYBURN'S ATTITUDE
Steadfastly Opposes Direct Elec-
tion Of Senators.


Senator Hepburn is still quite sure
that the states are impertinent In
asking that the question Of the direct
election of United States senators be
submitted to vote Of the people for
an amendment to the constitution,
says Charles G. Hart 10. the Spokes-
man Review. 1t will be remembered
that not long ago the legislature Of
Idaho sent a joint memorial to Sena-
tor Hepburn asking him to vote for
the Borah resolution OF direct election
OF senators.
Senator Hepburn in a few words
answered that the legislature did not
know its business. This is the stand
he has continued to assume and IL
direct elections get through within
his term as senator it will not be
without marching over his PROSTATE
body.
The states are lobbyists-downright
lobbyists, as he sees tt-according to
the answer he gave the other day
when Senator Cummins mentioned
the requests made by the several
state legislatures for constitutional
convention.
He said:
1.-The states have no authority, nor
are they warranted ih lobbying with
congress on question of this kind.
These demands the senator speaks OF
are mere lmpertinences on the part OF
individual members of the legislature;
that is all. The constitution tells
the states how they may amend the
constitution. and there has not been
at any time enough states, that is,
constitutional number OF stdGes-to
demand it. They are like lot o1
people l haye seen in this world who
were with the minority and insisted
that they should have their way not
withstanding that"
There are times within the memory
| of those who have kept close watch
on the doings Of congress when Sena
tor Hepburn was with the minority
but he has stubbornly refused to al
low this fact to be shown. In suct
instances he has stood out against /;
vote on the question as he has or
direct election of senators. He ais,
has opposed a vote on the resolution
to declare vacant the seat of "Billy'
Lorimer, accused of bribery. VIII.
not have a vote anyway in such case
and see who is 10 the minority?
