The report of the physicians who
held the hasty examination of Carl
Machold on behalf of the senate inves.
tigating committee, seemed to hold
hat it would not be absolutely neces-
sary to confine him in an asylum, in
asmuch as their recommendation was
made in the alternative "that he
should be kept under careful surveil-
lance, probably for the rest of his
life, by a guardianship of person and
property, or confined" etc.
The suggestion that Machold be pa
rolled to the care and guardianship of
the publishers of the newspaper at
Downey, Idaho, who have indicated
their willingness to receive him and
% give him employment where he will
be among friends and removed from
any temptation that he might have to
forget himself by reason of the pres
ence Of his supposed enemies, has met
With the approval Of Machold's friends
who are extremely anxious to secure
his release even though it be but tenn
oorarily while the fling of proceedings
can be brought about and the neces-
sary funds raised.
In order to accomplish this release
those interested in the case should
write personal letters to DR.. F. H.
Poole, medical superintendent of the
asylum at Blackfoot, indicating their
desires. These letters should be
couched in respectful terms indicat.
ing a desire to have Machold returned
to his employment where he may earn
support for his family and where
he can be kept under surveillance OF
friends pending a further test Of his
fitness to be allowed his liberty II
is believed that absolutely no harm
could result from such a move but
that it will afford opportunity for test
ing his sanity which will convince his
friends that they are wrong or the
officers of the asylum and others that
they made no mistake in the first in
stance.

FieId-Peas and Hoas

j. H. Augustine, of the Idaho Land
and Orchard company, is perhaps, the
only man in the county who has start
ed spring planting. Last fall he had
considerable land plowed, and during
the few days Of nice weather early
in March the fall blowing was har-
rowed and put in shape for seed.
Since then, sixty acres of field peas
have been planted, a portion of which
are now up and growing in spite of
the inclement weather. Mr. Angus
tine has an eye to business, and last
fall purchased large number OF hogs
which he fed his potato crop to and
got onto the credit side of the ledger
in spite of low prices. The small
hogs will be held over and fattened
on the peas just planted and will be
in prime condition for the fall market.

SIMPLY BECAUSE 1T is BRYAN.

Demagogy Of the rankest kind is
now airing itself concerning Secre-
tary Of State Bryan, his ofense being
that he is delivering lectures during
his vacation period, and that he is
receiving pay for them. And a glar-
ing case OF these demagogical out
breaks is found in the utterances Of
Senator Bristow, Republican,. Of
Kansas, who is found himself to
have sought a position in the public
service with the proposition to devote
only about half his time to it.
The %hysteria about Secretary
Bryan, it appears, only arose after it
was stated publicly by him hat be
was being paid for the lectures he
delivered. Had there have been no
compensation mentioned we doubt if
there would have been a word said
in n matter. But as it was Will
Ham Jennings Bryan those who are
afflicted with Bryan-phobia proceed
ed On a slender thread to renew
their assaults, insinuations and in
nuendos concerning that great Demo-
cratic leader. Give hat class the
slightest pretext and they grow red

Secretary Bryan states as a reason
for devotins part Of his vacation
time to lecturing that it is necessary
as a financial measure, that the salar,
he receives as Secretary Of State is
not sufficient for running EXPENSE.
