Mr.. Alderman, have YOU heard any ona
speak out in meeting or In any public place
against the proposed plan for changing the
government OF the city? In the open every
body seems to favor 1t. There should be no
difficulty In adopting 1t then unless you your
self secretly do not wish 1t adopted. Here's
hoping that you will give. 1t a rousing ma.
iority. but If you oppose 1t we trust you will
speak up and tell us why. Don't seek to defeat
or delay it by subterranean methods Face the
issue and fight in the open. The people want
it: II you do not tell them why.

Firm Law enforcement Stand.

Nashville never saw a more determined lot OF
men and women than the temperance delegates
from all the State who met in the State
Capitol Thursday to discuss the best means OF
continuing the fight against the saloon in the
Ola Volunteer State.
The present situation in the State was dis
cussed from every angle and practically all the
speakers were agreed that the prohibition lawn
generally enforced with the exception Of In
the large cities.
In a thoroughly practical manner the confer
ence named q committee to recommend changes
in the present laws which might make law en-
forcement easier. This committee unwilling
to take action without full investigation Of
the present laws by prominent jurtsts and con-
seQuently the conference named campaign COM
mittee OF one representative from each OF the
ten congressional districts and delegate from
the State at large. which Is empowered to name
committee of seven jurists who will look fully
into the Governors powers under present laws
and advise the temperance forces at future
conference what changes in present laws are ad-
visa BILE.
The Senate Chamber at the Capitol was crowd
ed with earnest delegates who remained through
out the day and made It clear there is no inten-
ton on the part of the temperance forces to
yield the ground they have gained and stand
idly by while the liquor forces bride officers and

Smut Is "a Robber.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman, Sept. 25.-Smut is a rob-
Der. 1t is the biggest robber the
wheat belt of the Inland Empire has
to contend with. We have complained
because freight rates were high, but
smut hurts us worse than high rail-
way tariffs. 1t is very deceptive
enemy. We think that the few cents
difference between clean and smutty
wheat measures our loss, but that is
small part of it.
Take a lath frame one yard square
and put it down in this and that
place in the field and count the
smutty aud sound heads and deter
mine the proportion of waste and you
will be astonished. And this loss
comes wholly out of profits or pos
sible profits.
If 20 per cent of crop were prot
its, and IL you found yourself with
20 per cent of smut, you would have
had your labor for your pains. The
per cent of direct loss by the substi-
tuition of smut for sound grain, and
the detilement and reduced price of
the sound grain of the crop are not
the only sources of loss from smut.
Whenever a region suffers from
smut, not only is the rating of grain
in the world market somewhat lower
thereby, but it becomes the ready
means, in the hands of the unscru-
pulous buyer. of bearing the market
and beating the price down in indi-
vidual cases.
There must be remedy. Frankly
speaking, none of the remedial agen-
cies have as yet been wholly success
full. The best and most careful men
are yet sometimes the victims But
there must be an effectual remedy
1t may not be a specific thing, but
may involve many things, such as
the time of sowing, the selection OF
clean wheat for seed, as well as Wit
riol or formaldehyde or anything
else.
Come, let US consult together. A
smut convention is to be held at the
Agricultural College at Pullman the
latter part of September, and a thou
sand farmers should be there 1t II
well to talk of the glories of dem
oeracy, the will of the public" etc.
but just now let US discuss smut pre-
yention. +. A. Bryan.

The state of Idaho has adopted a
new policy in reference to the invest
ment OF its permanent funds. Here
tofore it has invested this money
largely in school bonds, drawing 5
per cent interest, and has S2,197, 600
so invested. BY action taken at q
special meeting of the board the sale
of $250,G00 worth of these bonds was
ordered with a view of reinvesting
the funds in farm loans and putting
the money into circulation. State
Auditor S. d. Taylor, who proposed
this policy and secured its adoption
by the land board, has the following
to say of its advantages:
The state has $2,197.000 tied up
in school bonds drawing per cent.
1t is proposed to sell these bonds to
eastern bond buyers, who are anx-
ious to purchase them, and to loan
the money out ON improved farms at
6 per cent. This will enable us to
turn $2,000,000 into the channels of
business in the state OF Idaho. Under
the present stringency in the money
market this of itself will stimulate
business conditions, but this is not
the only advantage. 1t will give the
farmers $2,000,000 worth of per
cent money, where they are now pay
ka n
$4,000 to the citizens of the state,
while the state itself will have s
per cent instead of per cent in
vestment. While the action of the
land board calls for the sale Of only
$250,000 worth of the bonds at the
present time, am in favor of the
sale of the entire holdings of the
state. just as fast as the money can
be reinvested In farm loans.
1T is proposed to invest this money
In new loans as far as possible, so
as to keep it in the channels of bust
ness in the state, rather than to east
ern mortgage companies. The latter
would mean only a saving of per
cent interest, while the money Sc
cured on first loans will rem ain and
circulate in the state.
Amy business depression felt in
Idaho is due to influence without and
not within the state. Idaho has |
bumper crops, and prices are good |
There has been little diminution in |
the big payrolls in the lumber camps
and in the mines. But there is no
denying the fact that money matters |
are depressed. A state like Idaho, |
with its rich, undeveloped resources,
needs outside capital all the time, and |
1t Is most lucky stroke of fortune |
that the state has a couple of million |
dollars worth of securities that can
be cashed in at such an opportune
time and the proceeds put into circu-
lation.'
