Beautifying the Home Grounds.

Attractive grounds add more than
any other one feature toward beau
tifying the home. be 1t in the coun-
try or in the city. No farm or city
home can afford to be withouta few
trees and shrubs around the house.
1t seems strange indeed with all our
natural advantages that ornamental
planting is not more observed by
those who wish to make life in the
country worth while. Money ex-
pended in this direction is well in
vested not only from the fact of its
creating pleasant surroundings, but
because the beautifying of a place
enhances its value and renders it
salable often at handsome profit.
Then again on the other hand, money
cannot buy the satisfaction which
one derives from watchingl the
growth and development oe orna-
mental vegetation.
Among the beautiful hardy shrubs
that require little attention wish to
enumerate a few that grow to per-
fection in our State. These plants
are easily obtainable and not expen-
sive. The althea or rose of Sharon
flowers freely with us during late
summer when few other shrubs are
in blossom. 1t has beautifuliwhite,
pink and purple double flowers. The
azaleas are very gorgeous and range
in color from intense crimson to
lemon yellow. They are covered with
bloom in early spring before their
leaves appear. Deutzias have masses
of snow white flowers and are early
boomers. Spireas flower profusely
during early spring. They produce
profusion of white flowers. For--
sythia or golden ball has graceful
dropping yellow flowers. The mag
nolia grandihora, the evergreen
type. is one of the best Of the many
magnolias. 1t grows beautifully
with US and is a grand sight.
Of the many beautiful climbing
vines that should grace our porches
and arbors there is nothing better
than the wistarias which can be had
in purple, lavender and white. The
immense dropping racemes of bloom
are truly grand sight. The climb
ing roses, the clematis, English ivy.
Virginia creeper all grow to the
greatest perfection.
Remember that before you get
ready to plant, sketch out your
grounds. locating all buildings, drives,
walks and paintings.

carnegie,s Growing Vision.

Andrew Carnegie: "The growing
disposition to tax nor and more
heavily large estates left at death
is cheering indication of the growth
of a salutary change in public opin-
ion. BY taxing estates heavily at
death. the state marks its condemna-
ton of the selfish millionaire's un-
worthy life. 1t is desirable that ma
lions should go much further in this
direction. Indeed it is difficult to
set bounds to the share of a rich
mans estate which should go at his
death to the public through the
agency of the state.
by all mean such taxes should
be graduated, beginning at nothing
on moderate sums to dependents and
increasing rapidly as the amounts
swell, until Of the millionaire's
hoard. as of Shylock's, at least the
other half comes to the priyy Golfer
of the state.
Nor need II be feared that this
policy would sap the root of enter
prise and render men less anxious
to accumulate, for to the class whose
ambition it is to leave great fortunes
and be talked about after death. ii
would be even more attractive-and,
-.
indeed, a somewhat nobler ambition
to have enormous sums paid over
to the state from their fortunes.
you remember the question, Am
/ my brothers Keeper Yes. every
man is his brothers keeper. The
world is slowly but surely becoming
a brotherhood.
The laws of accumulation should
be left free. as should also the laws
of distribution.
"Indiyidualism will continue, but
the millionaire will be but a trustee
for the poor, entrusted for a season

with a great part Of the increased
wealth of the community, but adj
ministering it for the community.
"The best mind will thus have
reached a stage in the development
of the race in which it will be clear
ly seen that there is no mode of dis
posing of surplus wealth creditable
to the thoughtful, earnest man into
whose hands it flows ave by using
it year after year for the general
good. This day already dawns.
"The day is not far distant when
a man who dies leaving millions of
available wealth will pass away 'un-
wept, unhonored and unsung,' no
matter to what Use he leaves the
dross. On such as these the public
verdict will then be "The man who
dies thus, dies disgraced.'"

Council Bluffs, Aug. 16.-Three
men under arrest in as many differ

here, are charged with being mem
bers of an organization which has
piundered the railroads and which
is declared by officers, who last
night told some of the details of the
working of the gang, to rival in ex-

men suspected of being in the rail-

Choose the Winner. I,

A unique and novel souvenir, and
one especially clever at this period
of political doubt and indecision. is
the little card being given away by
the Royal Blue SELF Shoe company
at their opening today. The card is
in the shape of an oblong frame for
a small picture over which is drawn
a partially transparent black curtain
which reveals in rapid and uncertain
succession the pictures of the three
presidential candidates Of the pres
ent year. The wavering of the pict-
ure is very suggestive of the condi-
ton of the minds of many polite
ians of the day.

For Wilson.
Freeman-Tribune

Editors Freeman-Irl0une: In
your issue of August 18th in regard
to the political situation you say:
Thus far more Roosevelt than Taft
supporters have taken part, but not
an article in favor of Wilson has
been received, and that your coll
umns are open to any n as long
as they are willing to sign their
names to said articles. I think per-
haps one of the reasons why you
have heard SO little about Wilson is
because between the republicans and
the Bull Moosers they are doing
more to help boost Wilson into the
white house than any democrat can
do by writing articles for the pa
pers. But nevertheless I am one of
those fellows that believe in show
ing my %colors, and don't believe in
being astride the fence, and as
chairman of the democratic central
committee might as we'll open the
campaign for Wilson now as any
time. A little over two years ago
the state of New Jersey was noted
for three things: Big mosquitoes.
big republican majorities and big
graft. In fact, the state of New
Jersey was the joke of the union.
Every get-rich promoters scheme
that you could think Of was incor-
porated under the laws Of New Jer-
sey. Stocks were watered to the
limit and it seemed that the people
were powerless to prevent it, but at
last there came a Moses to lead these
people out of this wilderness of cor
porate graft. That Moses was the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton College, the big Drained,
progressive democrat of the east. He
was nominated and elected by a ma
jority of $4,000 in a state that two
years before had gone republican by
$4,000 majority and in a little less
than two years he has cleaned up
that state, politically, and today
there is not a better governed state
in the union, with perhaps the sin
gle exception of Wisconsin, the
home of that splendid republican,
Robert M. LaFollette. The first.
thing that Gov. Wilson did was to
retire that notorious scoundrel and
CRATER, Senator Smith. Under Gov.
Wilson the political boss has been
wiped out in the state of New Jer-
sey. The people have been given a
public service commission, a work
mans compensation act. Primary
election laws have been strengthen
ed and many other lesser reforms.
Woodrow Wilson will be the next
president of the United States. But
he will be more than that. He will
be the first president in a generation
to go into Office owing favors to no
one but the American people. No
coterie of Wall street financiers gave
n cent to finance his campaign.
He has no debt to pay to corrupt
politics or crooked business, and 1t
does not make any difference how
many third' parties or fourth parties
are organized he is going to be elect.
ed president.
The certainty of republican defeat
this year accounts for a large part
of the enthusiasm for a third party,
1t opens the way for a lot of min
BILE persons TO dodge the party's
record. Our political history shows
that when a political party has in
vited and merited a good licking It
usually gets all that's coming to it.

UNIQUE CONTESTS
At SPOKANE FAIR.
All Sorts Of Competitive Tests
Have Been Planned.

Any kind Of genuine contest. from
a foot race to an aeroplane race, is al
ways interesting, and the Spokane Fair
management. approaching this, have
arranged for all sorts of competitive
stunts to be pulled off during Interstate
Fair week, Sept. 30 to Oct. g. OF
course the horse races are the main
events. and SIT 800 is offered in purses
for the horsemen, but the amateur fire.
mems tournament. the miners rock
drilling contest and the lumbermen's
log chopping contest will be sure
enough exciting.
A long list Of prizes has been ar
ranged for the firemen. Any town can
enter team, and many of the Inland
Empire cities have agreed to have their
best men there. Five hundred dollars
is given for a two hand rock drilling
exhibition, and the best men from the
Occur d'Alenes, from Butte, from the
boundary country and even from Ne
vada are expected. 1t is real novelty
to see these men, trained athletes all,
drive a steel drill forty to fifty inches
into solid granite in fifteen minutes,
hitting fifty to sixty strokes a minute
and changing the long steels without
losing a stroke.
The log chopping is new idea, but
the woodsmen who have it in charge
are sure it will be as exciting as any
of the other features, and there should
be plenty Of good choppers in the In
land Empire who will take chance to
win the $3.50 offered.
Races at night by the light of the
mammoth searchlights are another fea-
ture. tried first in 1911 with great sue
cess and to be repeated this year. The
night chariot races are especially ex-
citing, as the chariots are covered with
fireworks, which serve the double pur-
pose Of lighting the race and exciting
the four horses which draw each We
hicle.
And another contest, perhaps not as
exciting, but surely Of more practical
good, is the milk test, in which many
of the prize milk cows of the north
west will contend. Full particulars
concerning all these contests may be
had by addressing Robert II. Cosgrove,
secretary of the Spokane Fair.
