An Indians View Of Where the Coun.
ty Seat Of MelIette Should Be.


Although this question has been
answered and explained ,.by smarter
men than I, ( they all have some reason
that they conceal from the voters.
They put up such argument as geo.
graphical center, center of population,
best location, and the general good it
will do for the population, but you
will notice that the promoters do not
mention the benefits, prosperity and
happiness that they will derive from
the opportunities that generally go
with a county seat town.
As disinterested party, from IA
a financial standpoint, | view the
present situation OF the county seat
fight in MellStte county as follows:
The town of White River has been
the temporary county seat for about
fifteen months because The good peo-
pie OF the county believed it was the
oCoe iosd'iohy D'A : " -''Sldlul'a
center, aud voted that way Ia that
short time The town grew Ike d mush-
room and no doubt the promoters
reaped a golden reward in return for
the fiimsy arguments they put up
and for "a few b ,veS they bought Tor
the indians during the campaign.
On the other hand, the town OF Whit
River was "A detrImcut to the county,
as the county commissioners. heiu-
property owners in the town, began /,
make expensive improvements, such
us roads and bridge all Leading TO
White River-all at the expense of
the taxpayers OF the cour ~. b. the
request OF one of the promoters OF
White River. the county commission
ers reduced the taxes to oue-third
value on all lots owned by the pro-
moters, thereby evading paying taxes
on property at the selling value. This
| know because I was one Of the
deputy assessors and had to be pres
II at the meeting of the equalization
board last summer. The present
board Of county commissioners are
without IA doubt controlled by the
promoters Of White River, Judging by
the stunts they have pulled of lately,
al at the expense of the tax payers
and to the detriment of the county,
for the sole benefit of said promoters.
What will happen if the town OF
w hite River should happen to win
the permanent county seatf She has
been quite expensive so far To the
voters. The county officials, as We
all know, are heavily tied up III real
estate property AMI are naturally all
inclined to boost for that town at the
expense Of the county.
The remedy for the present situa-
ton in this county is in the power Of
votes. 1t is up to the voters of this
county to get rid of this bunch of
grating politicians and townsite pro-
moters. They are here just for the
money there is in it, and the sooner
we get rid of them the better it will
be for the county. 1t will then be in
habitable, people will come here to
live aud develop the country, while on
the othtS hand, the people will be
emi%ret:ag out of here and eventually
theiS would he but county seats and
a bunch Ct dinky politicians lest here.
Vote for the county seat where you
will, but never at White River. I'd
sooner see the county seat established

town. 9. II. &LLlSEAUx.

EGGS ClotWorthY Ate.

Harry Clotworthy, who is an expert
on military affairs, entered the
diningroom of the National Press
club one morning and carried with
him a ravenous appetite. Having
eaten one breakfast, which consisted
largely of eggs, he ordered an
other breakfast, which consisted
even more largely of eggs. After his
repast he went to the writing-room
to get off some letters. Half an hour
later the steward of the club found
the colored waiter loafing about the
entrance of the writing-room and
asked him what he meant BY being
absent from his post.

French Woman Writers Discuss
Case of Nine. Bloch.
Six to Two Against Woman Who Shot
Her RivaI-Various Opinions
on Crimes of Passion and
Literature.

Paris.-Some French woman au-
thors have been giving their views on
the right of their sex to kill. Their
opinions are based on the case OF
Nine. Bloch, who wrote books signed
with the name of Frederic de Beau
lien and who shot and killed Mrs.
Bridgeman, who had won M. Bloch
affections. From the prison Nine.
Bloch announced that she had re-
ceived "innumerable letters OF con-
graduation" and that many of them
came from her sister authors. Inc
suggestion that woman writer's sym
pathiZed with Nine. Bloch's act moved
lie Miroir to make an inquiry. VI the
eight women of letters who gave their
opinion only two supported Nine.
Bloch's action. The first of this mi
nority, Nine Marie de Vovet, writes:
Although murder inspired by jeal-
ousy is reproved by all in principle
nothing is more difficult to judge in
the various forms it may take The
best thing, it seems to me, is to treat
it with charity, thinking that before
woman's hand could seize weapon
there must have been suffering enough
to constitute presuuptive expiration.
Nine. Aurel, the other supporter OF
Nine. Bloch, writes: IF rival had
dared to set me at defiance | believe
that | should have done as Nine.
Bloch did 1t is none the less mis-
fortune"
AS for the six woman writer's who
condemn Nine Bloch's crime, more
than one finds that a desire for self
advertisement, a feeling that the ac-
ton would boom her books. had some
influence on her mind. Nine. Daniel
Lesuer, the best known writer of the
eight quoted, says:
II hold that he who kills ought to
accept death; otherwise he is the
most cowardly of beings. On this con-
dition only can vengeance to death
be clothed with any grandeur"
Nine. Jeanne Landre would have a
law passed that. except in cases OF
self defense, no acquittal should be
allowed when a death has been caused.

CLEAN EMBROIDERY AT HOME
Simple Matter When One Has Learn
ed Just the Proper Method to
Go About 1t.

Apropos of embroidery. lace-mak-
ing and fine needlework. it is we'll to
know how to clean articles of this
kind, without having to send them TO
a professional cleaner.
II you will wash all your fine en-
broideries yourself by the following
method. not trusting them TO the hired
maid or washerwoman. you will, no
doubt. have splendid results.
Put a half pint of bran into the
same amount of cold water and let 1t
come TO a boil slowly. After it has
boiled twenty minutes, strain of the
bran water and add a pint of boiling
water. Use this mixture instead OF
soap when washing fancy work, line
embroideries and laces for the first
time. Be careful not to rub, wiring or
twist them. but just squeeze them
gently with the hands after the first
washing in this manner. Soap jelly
made by dissolving a pure white soap
in boiling water may be used.
A little salt added to the rinse wa
ter which should be clean and mod
erately hot will set the color in EN-
broidery silks and cottons, if there is
any fear Of them running. 1t is best
to immerse colored embroideries in
strong salt water before they are
washed at all; then there will be no
danger of the colors running,
Fancy work should be dried as
quickly as possible and ironed on the
wrong side. first spreading the work
over a folded blanket covered with a
clean muslin. so that when it is ironed
the embroidery will stand out in bold
relief. each stitch showing up as if it
were new.
Fringed edges must be shaken out
thoroughly while they are quite damp
and never touched with the iron or
they will become matted and unsightly
in a short time.
When ironing lace. fold Turkish
towel, lay the lace right side down on
the towel and press with a warm iron
on the wrong side. This will allow
the small outstanding threads on the
towel to push through the mesh of the
lace and make it look like new.
Never starch lace: iron it before it
has become entirely dry
