cats Drive or SNAKES.

For many years l have been run.
ming a cattle station In Queensland,
where snakes are tolerably numerous.
AT the head station we have always
kept up standing army of from If
teen to twenty cats, and have been
practically free from the presence Of
snakes about the buildings and yards.
That this was owing to the pres
ence of our cats l have no doubt
whatever. They were always on the
lookout, and | have often seen mem
bers Of our feline bodyguard growing
over dead or dying snakes and have
more than once witnessed savage en-.
counters between them and their vic.
Tins. On the other hand, martyrs to
their duty were from time to time
found dead In the morning with all
the evidence of a fight and their de-
feat in the shape of snakebite on their
bodies.-Spectator.

how, but it required a very
sweet disposition to.keep from
being cross when we learned
that one of the reasons they
had no money to pay for the
service was that they had
visited the wet" newspapers
first and spent all their money
for similar publicity, thus
furnishing ammunition to
build up the wet" news
papers to the detriment of
their own kind"
What the Republican says
is true regarding Bingham
county being "fooded" with
advertising matter from the
Utah liquor honses, is equally
true of this county, and the
amount of business secured
from these circulars has been
enormous.

"Hansar," the Alrsblp Word

Hangar" denoting shed for air
ships, is taken from the French. who
use 1t also to denote a shed for cara
and wagons. especially among farmers.
The word is not Celtic. It was much
used in the Middle Ages to denote the
service exacted from country people in
forwarding government couriers. We
first hear the word in the fifth century
before Christ, In Eschy lus. Herodotus
and Xenephon. They got the word
from Persia. where 1t denoted the
kings courier. This word, '.anRaros."
whether originally really meaning a
messenger or burden, should not be
COMPOUNDED with the term "angeI."
which is Greek, while 'angaros" is Per
sian. English dictionaries Will throw
light upon the subject in the article
"angariation" Few words have shown
greater resistance than this Persian
postal term.

make any other outlay a
hardship to many, or the tax
payments may result in the
curtailment OF holiday pur-
chases and thus prove a
loss to the merchants. 1t al
so often involves the market
ing of some crops that might
otherwise be held until later
in the season. The payments
come, also, at a time when
almost everybody is busy with
holiday duties and the closing
up of the years accounts.
The requiring of the payment
of the entire amount at one
time is an unnecessary hard
ship and results in Il much
larger delinquency than
would occur were the pay
ments allowed in installmentS.
In Minnesota the taxes be-
come due January |, but the
first payment can be made at
any time up to June |, and
only the one half is required
by that time. The other half
can be paid at any time before
November /. Under this
plan. there is much less de-
linquency, and the tax burden

Time of Paying Taxes

Idaho might we'll profit by
the example of other states
by passing d law to change
the time of paying taxes.
Under the present law, all
taxes come due January l.,
and failure to pay before that
time involves heavy penalty.
This results in the heaviest
tax payments during the last
month and largely in the last
week of the year, at a time
when holiday requirements

A strict Dramatic Censor.

Vienna once possessed the strictest
dramatic censor ever known In the
person of Franz Hoegelin. who held
that post In the Austrian capital at the
beginning of the last century Hoege.
lin published a manual for the guild
ance of censors. "A pair of lovers
should never be allowed to appear on
the stage alone. They must always be
accompanied by third person Of ma
ture years" Marriages out of ones
class were also strictly forbidden by
HOegelin on the stage, and he quotes
nm instance of a play which he re.
fused to pass because the author
made the hero, Count Valdemar, mar.
ry a gardeners daughter. Such mis-
alliances have unfortunately been
known to occur in real life. but that
is no reason why they should be al
lowed on the stage" he said.

ADOOh tbl uCI JllS oIiNINtlIS "SI Z
closed in the various counties
of southern Idaho, which vot-
ed dry every newspaper in
those counties received prop
ositions from Salt Lake and
Ogden wholesale liquor
houses to publish their ad-
vertisements, and in most
cases the firms were willing
to pay more than the regular
rates for their ads.
The Examiner, in common
with large majority of the
papers, turned down the
offers. At the time the
Blackfoot Republican refused
an ad from one of the firms,
Editor Trego published an
article setting forth his rea-
sons for so doing. Mr.. Trego
had always endeavored to be
a consistent temperance man,
and favored the closing of
the saloons, and therefore did
not feel that it would be con-
sistent for him to accept pay
for advertising this particular
class of business.
While he has not changed
his views on the liquor ques-
ton, he has decided that it is
not inconsistent for him to
accept pay for publishing ad-
yertisments of foreign liquor
houses, and therefore is now
running in the Republican a
double half-column adj for the
Kohn Liquor Co. of Ogden.
In giving his reasone for &C
cepting this class of business
which he had previously re
fused, Mr.. Trego says in part:
During the past several
months the mail order liquor
houses of Salt Lake and Og-
den have flooded the county
with circular letters in which
they placed before the indi-
viduals of almost every home
the particular matter they
asked space for in the news
papers. The money they
spent for postage stamps to
carry on this publicity cam
paign might as we'll have been
spent with Idaho newspapers
as to be sent to Washington,
d. O., for stamps. The news
papers in attempting to keep
them out and to relieve the
homes from the temptation to
buy liquors, have simply lost
some business and witnessed
the delivery of the advertis.
ing matter in another form.
another matter affecting
the decision is that when a
newspaperman gives editorial
expression for or against any.
thing, he has done his duty
by his patrons IN telling them
his convictions, but it is not
encumbent upon him to com.
pei them to follow his advice
nor to sacrifice his own bust.
ness to shield them from
temptation. 1t is up to them
to so form their own charact.
ers that they can select what
they want and reject the
other.
eff your convictions run in
line with what is generally
called wet" you would be
surprised to see how very
loyal some of our temperance
friends are to a newspaper
that is known to be in hearty
sympathy with temperance
work. But you'd be more
surprised to know how many
temperance people there are
