Prosecution of Mail Frauds.

In keeping with the record of the
Taft administration in the prosecu-
ton Of violations of the Sherman anti
trust law, In which the records for CIV
II and criminal suits In all previous
administrations have been broken,
are the prosecutions brought for viola
tions of the postal laws. Under these
laws all fraudulent and wildcat" busi-
ness schemes carried on through the
mails are punished. In addition to
the punishments meted out, and of
more Importance to the people of the
whole country, Is the fact that activ-
ity In prosecutions is ending for all
time the operations of fraudulent con
Germs which have stolen thousands of
dollars of the peoples money annual
ly. The record of these prosecutions
for the last eight years, compiled from
the official documents, is as follows:

NEEDLESS
EXTRAVACANCES

In an article in the May WOMAN'S
HOME COMPANION 1t is stated that
at nearly every high school commen-
cement great extravaganza is in
dulged in. In a good many parts Of
the country efforts are being made
to reduce the amount of money spent
for these occasions. A high chool in
New York City, for example, last
year kept the average cost to 81 eac
and this year itproposes to reduce it
to so cents. A good many obstacles
are confronted, however, by those
who undertake to preach economy.
Following is an interesting extract
from the article on this point:
"For illustration: in Xenia, Ohio,
there was a determined effort to
have the graduation gowns simple
and inexpensive. The school board,
the teachers, and the well-to-do motE.
ers were delighted. Most of the class
favored white pique skirts and MILDLY
blouses, but one girl objected to this
plain costume.
"At commencement she appeared
in a lovely gown and with loads of
flowers. AS her sister explained, she
was hand embroidered all through.
In null dress, messaline slip, silk
undervest and stockings, and satin
slippers, she was far away the best
dressed girl in class And her mo-
ther makes her living over the wash
tub
"They also tried to bring reform
in the High School Commencement
in Miamisburg, Ohio, last year, but
one of the girls held out against it,
with the support of an older sister
The reformers tried to reason with
the sister, who was perfectly frank
about it:
+" We are family of school teach
ers,' she explained. Emily is the
youngest, but it will be just the same
with her. Five of us have never ma
ried, but have gone on with the grind
year after year. We never have
worn a wedding dress, and never will.
l We're a linen suit to graduate in,
and have feltcheated ever since. E.
mily shall have the prettiest and
most elaborate dress we can make
for her..

ton, and were evidently drawn by
men imbued with the Importance of
preserving the employers from burden.
some or unjust liabilities. 1t was
treated as a personal matter of each
employee, and the employees were put
on a level of dealing which, however
it may have been in the past certainly
creates injustice to the employee un-
der the present conditions"
The attention of congress to the
great injustice Of the present system
was called by President Taft He
mentioned the fact that often the re.
covery of large sums in damage YER
diets did not result in actual benefit to
the injured person on account of the
heavy expenses in litigation The
president expressed the belief that
these burdens would disappear with
the enactment of the proposed law
since the counsel fees are limited to
a reasonable amount
AS further stated by the president;
the great object Of the proposed law
is to secure justice to the weaker par
ty under existing modern conditions"
He also declared that he would use
his influence to aid in the enactment
Of the proposed law before the adjourn
ment of the present session of con-.
gress.

Taft Sure Of Nomination.

Up to and including April IL, 494
delegates had been elected to the Re
publican national convention which
meets in Chicago in June. or these
President Taft has 341 instructed for
or pledged to his denomination. There
remained to be elected on that date
5S2 delegates. OF these President Taft
needs only 1913 and Mr.. Roosevelt
needs 426. In other words, If Presi.
dent Taft gets one out Of every three
delegates remaining to be elected he
will have within four of enough to
nominate, while Mr.. Roosevelt must
have three out of every four OF the
delegates remaining in order to secure
the nomination. That President TAFT
will have more than 700 delegates at
Chicago II Q certainty.

the department by resignation and
death, and these places have been
filled by those who would otherwise

complished in bringing the govern.

WILL OPEN WAR
ON SOCIAL EVIL

A campaign for social purity has
been started by the state board OF
health. Literature, posters, signs and
other matter will be scattered broad
cast as soon as the board can have
the material printed. The plan now
in use by the Oregon board and by
the health authorities OF many Of the
other states of the west will be put
into operation here.
DR.. Rlaph Falk, secretary OF the
Idaho board, has been consulting
with many, Of the Boise physicians for
the last few days about the work he
plans to inaugurate. The program
will soon be submitted to the medical
society and 1t is thought the doctors
OF the city and southern Idaho will
cooperate in every possible way dur
ing the campaign.
The fight 10 not to be confined to
Boise nor southern Idaho. 1t IL to
include every city and town In the
state. The physicians of every ham
let will be called upon to help the
board work out its program. A
thorough organization consisting Of
the doctors OF the state will be form
ed to fight what the board considers
ore OF the serious health problems
IL has to face.
The state archaeological labora-
tory will be part OF the machinery
the health officers will use during
the campaign. 1t has already proved
Q powerful factor In the battle n
gainst tuberculosis and other disease
LOW under the ban of the health de-
partment. Posters, framed and prop
eIly protected by glass, will be In
stated in every public place through
The state, calling attention to the
health problems arising in connection
with the social evil. The board prom.
ises to give confidential and free ad-
vice wherever these problems come
Up aud will do everything 1t can to
Lelp the local doctors fight the
plague.
Literature dealing with the subject
in plain and easily understood way
win be distributed under the d.
rectton Of the board. Many OF the
old fallacies will be exposed in bull
letins sent out from the office Of tho
secretary. Plans for a general fight
Lave leen laid but the work In the
particular cities and towns will be
largely under the direction of the doc
tors there. The medical societies will
probably take care OF the situation
in the larger district organizations.
Now 1t has once started out on this
fight, the board declares 1t doesn't
intend to turn back. 1t Is going a.
head with the idea Of conducting the
campaign along exactly the lines 1t
has laid out thus far.--Statesman.

The Sensitive Tympanum Of the
Sympathetic

1t is a very sad statement to be
compelled to make, that the public Is
most unappreciative of the efforts of
the individual who would save it
from itself. And there is nothing
more pitiable than the passing wall
of such as have striven to stem the
tide, only to find themselves engulf-
ed in the hungry waves of indiffer-
ence or, worse, intolerance.
The sensitive tympanum of the
sympathetic must certainly have
been Jared or charmed by the swan
like song of one whose noble efforts
in the direction OF purity and pro-
gress fell on the chilly atmosphere of
an unresponsive public.
The minor key was of the most pla.
intive and seemed to die away in
those dulcet tones which linger long
on memory's shrine.
But of course only those whose
ears We're attuned to such music
could possibly appreciate it's delicate
harmonies.
We would gladly enable the COM
munity to sense the sad loss which il
has sustained. Ii any words of ours
would compel attention to this matter
we would gladly speak them. We
feel that the snuffing out of some of
the glorious lights which deck the
midnight heavens were a matter of
minor Importance, as compared with
the abrupt cessation of progressive
effort on the part of a public spirit
ed genius of the first magnitude; one
whose trenchant pen scattered the
foes of civic cleanliness to the four
winds of heaven.
1t is a day of sadness and mourning;
those glorious possibilities of which
we had dreamed are shattered as with
seismic shock; the superlative splen-
dors with which Imagination had ad-
orned the career of one hero, are OBJ
scured in an. impenetrable mist; the
anticipated inspirations from his pen
and presence are buried beneath the
soul-sundering shock of disappoint-
ment and despair.
We would say to our friend NIL
DESP there are, perhaps
spheres fairer even than this where
talents of your unique type may be
appreciated, and receive the full mea-
sure of homage, to which they are
entitled.
As for you, shake off the dust of
an ungrateful community from your
fairy feet and HE thee hence to
lands, where reclining in the amaran-
thine bowers of sweet success, the
plaudits of a pleased and placid pub
lie will, like the friendly creeper
hide from view the sad Disagreement
Of an unequal fight.
