WORKING THE TAXPAYER.

After holding up the tax payers for
the greatest tax levy on record, men
and newspapers who were high takers
born. and who will live and die high
takers, are now going out and giving
the tax payers the glad hand Of fellow
ship and posing as their champions,
Some of these men have always sup
ported high tax candidates and high tax
policies in state and nation; and two
years ago they were beside themselves
with grief for fear that Mr.. Wilson
might be elected and reduce the federal
taxes. At the ballot box, while with
one hand wiping away their tears on
this account, they voted with the other
for state and legislative candidates who
when elected prolonged the Legislative
session and added greatly to the tax
burden Of this year. Tax payers, don't
be caught with chaff.

New York. - After twelve months
consideration of the subject of insani,
ty rs II defense to n criminal charge
the committee on the law of insanity
has made it's report to the Society of
Medical Jurisprudence. The committee
found that. while criticism of the pres.
ent method of procedure was general.
no one was ready to offer suggestions
for its Improvement.
Its conclusion is that the section
of the penal code which defines that
degree of Insanity which excuses crime
should be stricken from the statute
books. Thu committee recommends
that the jury in each case should be
the sole judge of whether the defend
ant was irresponsible at the time he
committed the act. The essential
points under the law are that a man
must be so demented as not to know
the nature and quality of his act aud

sturgeon to n raft when he found it
too heavy to carry and forcing the big
member of the finny tribe to haul him

in Boise.
A large crew of men is stationed at
the OK Bow tunnel on the Snake river
between Idaho and Oregon. \ rancher
named Mcpherson notified the foreman
in charge of the camp that if he would
send some of his men up he would give
him a fish. Thinking that one man
could manage Il single fish without
trouble. the foreman sent one of his
Austrian laborers after it. When he
arrived at the Mcpherson ranch. how
ever the Austrian found the sturgeon.
AS the fish was still alive the Aus
TRAN built raft from logs, leaving
an opening in the middle for the fish
to swim, and then dashed the sturgeon
securely to the raft Pushing the craft

propel him into camp. several miles
