Holders - Reciprocity Defeated
VIII Try to Strengthen Cause.

Pocatello, Ida, Oct. 6.-Declara-
tions that the rulings of the United
States supreme court on earth are
parallel to the ruling of a just God
in heaven. were made here today by
President Taft, in an impassloned de-
fense of the court, which is gener-
ally regarded as having been inspir-
ed by william j. Bryan's attack in the
Commoner Mr.. Bryan was :Iot men
toned by Mr.. Taft, however.
Speaking earne tly. he said that
columns have been printed condemn
ing the court. but that no specific in
stances OF wrong doing have ever
been mentioned.
He then declared that the time has
come for courts enemies to deal in
facts, saying:
when a court is doing its duty
and trying to teach the law as il
should be, to have it condemned, at
tackled and its motives questioned, for
mere political purposes, without solid
ground, such an attack goes to my
heart and | resent it with deep indig-
nation"
The president continued: What
has distinguished this country from
any other is the United States SUI
preme court at Washington, that has
so often stood between us and error
which might have been committed
and which would have been greatly
injurious to the country
"To turn upon that court, to ques-
tion its motives. TO attack it. is, to me
to lay the axe to the root of the tree
of civilization"
He concluded by declaring that the
muckrakers' attacks should be d.sre-
garded and more trust put in public
officials. He made two stops today
one of two hours here and one al
Boise.
1t is generally believed that Mr.
/ Taft will discuss "Internationa
Peace" during his coast trip, in an eff.
fort to make that the administration;
big policy, following the defeat OF
reciprocity with Canada. He be.
lieves that this policy can be popu.
larzed by persistent restoration and by
/ explaining it.

completed as yet it is the genral senti-
ment among members of the league
that it should call for low salaries.
The concensus of opinion is for a sal
airy of S1200 per annum for the mayor
and for $500 per annum for each OF
the two commissioners.

that it will not be necessary for any
of the officials to devote all their
time to their duties and that they will
be able to manage their private work
or business along with the public du
ties.
AdviCes received from Baker have
had something to do with the creation

A Lady Of Pizarro Tells Story Of
Awful Suffering That Cardui
Finally Relieved.

Pizarro, Val suffered for several
years." writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith,
with that awful backache and the bear
ing down sensations, so fully described
in your book.
"I tried doctors and other medicines
and found little relief, until was induced
to try Wine of Cardui, when found in
slant relief and today can heartily
recommend Cardui to all suffering women
and think there is no other as good"
In some instances, Cardui gives instant
relief; in others, it may take little time.
But in all cases of female trouble Cardui
can be depended on to be of benefit, as
1t is specific remedy for women and
acts in curative way on the womanly
organs.
AS general tonic for women, TO build
up your strength, improve your appe-
tite, bring back rosy cheeks and make
you look and feel young and happy,
nothing you can find will do SO much for
you as Cardui.
Your druggist has it.

"Pantaloonatics, /"

And now speaking of the new wo-
man, the Washington Herald calls
them the "pantaloonatics. If the
writer is speaking of suffrage, it's un-
dently the fad for feminine trousers
is going to have some support among
even American women. If they do not
adopt the style in it's entirety their
garments may be suggestive of the
styles of the eastern women. If not,
the rumor is making a lot of smoke
and is at least affording a lot of fun
for the cartoonist and funny men on
newspapers.
And yet in the same breath with
this rumor of adopting semitrousered
clothes comes another authentic re
port that the ladies are to return to
the styles of their modest grandmoth-
ers and adopt the quaint old fichu of
