A movement of Importance to

northwest has been started by
the Farmers Union, and the
Grange is expected to join with
the union in making its fight.
The farmers have decided to boy

A man down in North Carolina
lived with his wife for seven
years, and during that time he
came to have a very healthy re-
gard for her physical superiority.
After meekly submitting to all
the kicking and cutting he could
stand he took up his residence
at the home of, a farmer about
seven miles distant.
One day he was working in
the field, when his employer
brought him the message that
someone wanted to speak with
him over the telephone, presum-
ably his wife. He didn't disobey
the authority of the woman, even
at a distance, and he hurried to
answer the call.
He had had no experience with
the telephone, and it was with
wonder and hesitation that he
picked up the receiver. About
that time lightning struck the
line and the shock threw him to
the floor.
Rising from the floor with a
look of amazement, and with
a dubious look at the instrument,
he said softly: "I'll be dog goned
if it wasn't her."

And now the press is discussing
What will Taft do?" and What

pers of the union refuse to buy
bags from the trust at the prices
now asked and will either handle
their grain in bulk or get a cotton
bag, made by the Farmers Union
in the cotton growing states.
l.. c. Grow, president of the
Farmers Union in Washington
and Idaho, has given out a state
ment of the intentions of the Or
ganization, which has more than
Is, 900 members in Washington,
Oregon and Idaho. In this state
ment President Crow says the
union has investigated conditions
and discovered that there is a
grain bag trust or combine which
is holding up the price of grain
bags. The price at this time is
nine cents at coast points, which
would make nine and a half cents
delivered in the grain belts. The
plan to send a representative of
the union to India to arrange for
the purchase of a cargo of grain
bags has been abandoned and the
union has issued a request to it's
members and members Of the
grange, as we'll as the farmers
who are members Of neither Or
der, that they buy no grain bags
until the price is reduced.
Mr.. Crow says the union is now
trying to arrange to handle the
grain of it's members and as many
others as will join them, in bulk,
and to this end is getting quota
tions on grain tanks from eastern
and western manufacturers. He
claims that grain can be handled
at a saving of $12O on 1000 BUSH
els, which means a saving of
millions of dollars to the grain
growers of the northwest. Mr..
Crow says that after the COM
pletion of the Panama. canal it
will not be necessary to have any
grain loaded for export in sacks,
as this is only necessary when
grain is sent around the Horn.

With the results of the general
election practically certain insofar
as the delegates from the legis-
lative districts are concerned, poll
ticians in the state are turning
their attention to the matter of
who the presiding officer of the
lower house will be. There are,
up to date, just five candidates
for that honor, two republicans
and three progressives.
Under such conditions it is pos
sible that a deadlock on the speak
ership may result, though, if the
vote is at all on party lines, the
18 democrats in the house may
hold the control in their hands
and Governor Ernest Lister may
pick the man he desires.

By invoking Colonel Roosevelt's
theory that contested delegates
should not vote on their contests,
Illinois democratic leaders hope
to keep progressive party men,
bers of the new Illinois legisla-
ture from participating in it's Or
ganization.
By debarring the Is or 20 men,
bers whose seats are contested,
the democrats, who now lack two
of a majority, could proceed to
organize, they say, under the
constitutional provision that a
majority of the members elected
to each house shall constitute
quorum.
A quorum voting may organize
the house by a majority vote of
such quorum.
1t might be a good plan to give
the Roosevelt supporters a dose
of their own proposed medicine
and let them see how they like
such dope.
An old lady, travelling for the
first time in a large city, saw "a
glaring sign on the front Of a
high building, which read:
The Smith Manufacturing
Company"
AS she repeated it aloud slow
ly, she remarked to her nephew:
'Lawsy mercy! Well, I've
hearn tell of Smiths all my life,
but l never knew before where
they made 'em."
J. A. Wayland, editor of the
Appeal to Reason, a widely-known
socialist weekly, published at
Girard, Kansas, ended the fight
by putting shotgun to his mouth
and pulling the trigger last week.
His last message was: 'The
struggle under the competitive
system isn't worth the effort; let
it pass" He had been in constant
conflict with the postal depart
ment and had been heckled, har-
assed and tormented by the Taft
administration and previous re-
publican administrations without
cessation. AS soon as one charge
was ended another was brought.
About a year ago his wife was
killed in an automobile accident,
and this seems to have broken his
heart, and on the day when he
was to face another session of the
inquisition at the hands of the
federal authorities, he took
change Of venue to the Great
Judge.
It is true that he was an ex-
tremist; that he was fanatical;
that he made some fearful charges
and in language that was wild
and unrestrained. But most Of
his charges were true, even
though they were dressed in fan
tastic, unconventional language.
And he believed in the business
of his cause and in the truth Of
his charges against those whom
he deemed enemies of the common
veal. It was through the instru-
mentality of his paper that the
book "The Jungles" was given to
the public and the awful condi-
tions Of the meat packing industry
and "embalmed beef"!brought to
the public eye.
His death calls to the attention
of the nation that the day of a
free press and free speech has
about come to an end in this
country. Those who dare to tell
the truth are not tortured in body
as they were in the days of the
rack and screw. They are tor
tured mentally; they are made
victims Of noraacutiOns ma ior and

Tribune.
It seems quite probable that a
strong effort will be made by
northwest democrats to have
Chas. G. Heifner of Seattle given
the place of secretary of interior.
Wilson couldn't pick a better or
more loyal democrat for the place.
Heifner was the first active Will
son man in this state, and was in
reality his northwest manager.
He has the interests of the north
west at heart, and the depart
ment of the interior is the most
important cabinet position so far
as western interests are concern
ed. With Heifner at the post,
we might be able to get some
proper land legislation which
would allow this great section to
populate and prosper.

they think of castor oil. calomel, salts
or cathartic pills

It's effect is as that of fruit; of eating
