PRESS TROUBLES
OF THE PAST

Fifty years ago new spapers of
the north were having strenuous
times. as is evidenced by the
following item in the New York
Evening Post of August &c, 1861:
Since the 9Th of August, seven
secessionist newspapers in the free
states have been suppressed by
MODS: four others in this city.
and one in Brooklyn, have been
presented by the grand jury of the
federal court and their transport
alton by mail forbidden by the
postoffice department. One pub
lished in Philadelphia has been
suppressed by the United States
marshal, and another in Pennsyl-
vania has received a warning. Alto
gether fourteen northern journals
guilty of promulgating, Unreasonable
doctrines have been, summarily
rebuked, while the True American.
at Trenton, New Jersey, has suspend.
ed publication through fear of mob
law.
The office of the Farmer at
Bridgeport. Conn.,. was destroyed
by mob on Saturday night. An
attempt had been made to hold a
peace melting in the afternoon at
Stepney. town ten miles north of
Bridgeport, but the Union men
dis persed the secessionists, tore
down the secessionist flag which had
been erected. and oragnized a
Union meeting, of which Elias
Howe. Jr, was chairman and. p. T.
Barnum, secretary. The peace
able citizens epdeavored to dis
suade the mod from proceeding to
acts of violence. but without effect,
for the Farmer office was COM
peltely sacked at an early hour in
the evening. A riot also occur
red at Danbury, in the same state.
on Saturday, oceasioned by the
efforts of the peace men to held

THE SHEEP STORY

The Rev. DR.. Jcwett at q

of his much discussed salary:

over here that have decided after

this acceptance wort call to my

address desired to compare him.

congregation TO the shepherd s

GOVERNMENT BY STEALTH

The Taft administration is even
unpopular with the army of
government employees in Wash
ington. While they are not saying
anything publicly, they are very
bitter because Of the many rules
inaugurated under Mr.. Taft which
enjoin them from appealing to
congress for any improvement in
their conditions. If the clerks
should criticise their conditions
publicly they would be discharged.
The object Of the administration
in resorting to these harsh gag rule
methods is to prevent a leakage of
information which might prove in
furious to the republican party.
The administration managers
will not permit any government
employee to give out information
to newspaper men until 1t mas been
0. K. d by the head of the depart l.
nIent. The following official or
der signed by Gcor &c Otis Smith
director of the geological survey,
gives an idea of the Russian-ilke
censorship attempted in this de-
partment:

PRISON PARADISE

The Carson News has the fol-
lowing to say of Warden Bakers
management of the state prison:
Under the managems mt of Ward.
en- Ray Baker, the day is fast ap-
preaching when it will be- u more
pleasurable life to he convict in
the Nevada State Prison than to be
a member of Burlingamc's polo
playing set. Times having changed
since the time when crime was
punished to the time when crime
is rewarded. 1t is all right and
proper to attempt to elevate the
men who are enemies to the law of
the land but this idea Of pampering
them and spreading thei pathway
with roses and violets is indeed
wrong.
The time will come when the
taxpayers Of the state will want ia
go to the prison ami enjoy the
pleasures Of their tax money in
stead of buying the comfort for
convicts.

AS TO IDAHO
(Salt Lake Telegram)

(Salt Lake Telegram)
The New York Sun refers to Idaho
as great agricultural state, and in
a tone which, carries the idea that the
Sun thinks 1t is joke to call Idaho
an agricultural state.
The Sun exists in the great state
of New York. 1t has the Mohawk
and the Genesae valleys, besides many
others. The Genesee valley was the
greatest wheat region in the world
three score years ago. If the Sun
maintains its place in the newspaper
heaven for another decade it will find
by consulting the figures that Idaho
has more lands under cultivation
than New York, and that, acre for
acre, the Idaho lands produce twice
as much as does New York. The
people in the east have no compre-
hension of the possibilities of Idaho,
which is altogether stalward state.
1t will mot only have more land un-
der cultivation ten years hence than
there is in the state of New York. but
the crops on an average will be twice
as great and then they will sell for
more than four times as much money.
Idaho is the Gem state. IT should be
q subject of envy and not of sneers
for the Sun. 1t has the mineral to
supply the state with money to any
it has the agricultural lands
to supply half the world with wheat
and fruit All in all it is about the
best equipped state in natural re-
sources in all this Union.
