DRY FARM SEED FOR DISTRa-
BUTTON.

Representative Addison T. Smith haz
secured through the Department OF
Agriculture for distribution a large
supply Of alfalfa seed. field peas and
millet, peculiarly adapted to dry farm
ing, and which will be distributed to
those who desire to experiment in
dry land farming.
Each package contains suficierE
seed to plant one acre and will be ac-
companied by printed slips giving cul-
tural directions.
The department experts have been
conducting experiments with different
varieties of grain adapted to dry farm
ing and it is believed that good crops
of alfalfa, millet and peas can be rails
ed on arid lands in Idaho without
irrigation.

The FIub Dub of it All.
Caldwell Tribune)

James J. Hill recently spoke of the
failure of the public schools of the
country. He called attention to the
fact that the average graduate of the
high school was untitled for anything.
He severely criticised the methods in
vogue which rarely prepare a student
for a most humdrum position, let
alone qualifying him to enter upon the
duties of life. As the great majority
of boys and girls will get no school
ing beyond the high school, except by
actual experience if the Indictment
stands, the public school is a mis-
cradle failure. A Caldwell school
trustee says we now have the sight

aside from the natural path of ad-
yancement and ambition because of
an Unborn interest in humanity, is
found in the child labor blk It is
no doubt drastic legislation. and goes
farther than the provisions OF the
Kenyon bill, which has attracted at
tention in the senate. The measure
goes before congress with the unani-
nous endorsement of the child labor
committee of the house. Its friends
find in. it the merit of effectiveness
and with Palmer, one of the strongest
men in congress, taking the lead,
it is reasonable to anticipate results
in spite of the opposition that such
a bill is sure to encounter.
Will Not AnnhiIiats the Democracy
Now "the daughter of Mark Han
ma" has brought her feet down in
that same emphatic way as did her
illustrious father when subordinates
did not walk the chalk line Mrs.
Mccormick is the chairman of the
congressional committee of the Ma
tional Womans Suffrage Associa-
ton, and she has made her position
most emphatic by declaring as unau-
thorized the statement of the
young suffragettes, who because they
were displeased with the action of one
of the committees of congress threat
ened to bring the forces of suffra-
gists everywhere into play to help
the defeat of the Demo-
Gratis. In the language of Mrs. Nc
Cormick this statement is perfectly
foolish" Mrs. Mccormick says that
the young ladies who have brought
forth this idea have done so because
'it is simply a desire to be spectacu-
lar" The suffragist body-for it is
nothing else-is said to have devised
one of the most systematic campaigns
ever set in motion to carry on a poll
teal program in Washington.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Events of Interest From The Seat of
Government
They're Still Changing the Inaugural
Date.

Shortly after George Washington
became president the suggestion arose
that the Inauguration should be
changed from March to January, or
to April or May, or some other old
date. Senator Shafroth of Colorado
is the latest Don Quixote to attack
the inaugural windmill, and he finds
that political tangles and bad weather
would be Jointly eliminated by cutting
out the extra short session of con-
gress and having the president come
into office on the first day of the year
Soaking the Stock Exchange.
Some of the Democratic leaders are
in real earnest in their desires to
put the screws on stock exchange
methods. A measure has been intro
duced in congress by Senator Owen,
which prevents the use of the mails,
telegraph and telephones, in further
ance of fraudulent and harmful trans
actions on stock exchanges.
Child Labor to Be Barred From Com
merce.
After many years of effort to secure
more rigid restrictions with reference
to child labor, and in conformity to
a public demand that children be saved
from the great nav of the factories,
Palmer of Pennsylva-
mia proposes to bar from interstate
commerce the output of any plant

GAMBLING SYSTEMS.

D. E. V. Appelby, formerly a lee
turer ut the University of Minnesota,
testifying in a pending court case, says
he has made money consistently by
wagering on the gaming tables at
Monte Carlo. He claims that his care
fully worked out system in one year
paid him $4,000
1t would be impossible to compute
the human energy and even human
life that has been given to devising
gambling systems to beat Monte Carlo
and other famous gambling houses.
Some people claim to have made mon
ey by keeping careful records of the
stopping places of roulette wheels and
balls, thus learning the peculiar ten
dency and idiosyncrasy of the me-
chanical device.
If a wheel seems to be loosing be-
cause some one had learned its ten
dency, it is an easy thing to shift
wheels every night In 1895 a system
was successfully worked at Monte
Carlo oy a woman who had studied
the eccentric results produced by the
warping of a roulette wheel. The
management never lost but one from
that, us afterward the wheels were
tested nightly.
If a gambling place continues in
business day after day, and makes
money, its system must be securely

wide range of views is enter
tanned in the business community
as to the extent to which the social
ed 'interlocking directories" should

of business interlocking, however in
the smaller centers. to which few
people would object, and which the
new law should deal with very care
fully if at all.
In the country town and small city,
something like this frequently hap
pens. The community needs a new
bank, or one already in existence needs
corporation. A local manufacturer
: or other business man consents to
take Office in that bank, not from ex-
pectation Of salary, and often with no
hope of making money in bank stock.
The time he takes away from that
business is either given free or all
paid. The bank could hardly live
without the knowledge of local con-
ditions and business. Judgment pos

service is given almost entirely out
of community spirit.
On the other side of the deal. the
home bank has one or more men who
devote their whole time to its work.
They acquire the peculiar knowledge
of human nature and acute forecast
of financial conditions that goes with
bank training. They are asked to
serve as directors in local CONNER
cial enterprises. Their banking ex-
perience helps on such enterprises,
and the returns are usually small foi

places. The two kinds of things rnzv
seem technically alike, but in effects
they are radically different.
The so-called lnterlocking between
great corporations is easily capable
OF abuses, and is condemned by pub
lie sentiment. In the life Of the cour-
try town and small city there is none

Alaska Rediscovered.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 31-The
most important thing ever done id
reference to Alaska since the United
States purchased it for a song, was
the passage by the senate of the bill
providing for a railroad in that coun-
try. The house of representatives
will undoubtedly concur in the senate
measure, which will give to that great
region a railroad one thousand miles
long. The road in itself is import
ant, but the fact that the United
States has declared that it proposes
to back the Alaskan proposition to the
extent of $4O,OeO,0oO means more than
simply a streak of rust, screeching
locomotives. and freight cars, travel
ing through a barren waste. In short
the isolating of Alaska is to be brought
to an end, and an aggressive policy
to develop the great resources is to
be carried on-our great storehouses
of wealth are to be opened. The
general impression is that Alaska is
a frigid region, whereas the mean an
nual temperature of Sitka is ABBOTT
the same as that of Washington, D.
c. Likewise it is learned that Alaska
has numerous deep land-locked, ice
free harbors; and the coast line is
$4,000 miles long, while there are six
thousand miles of navigable rivers in
the country. OF course portions of
Alaska are extremely cold, but is is
a region of great variety The sixty /
five thousand people of that country
have certainly shown their patience
and now that the government has

ward chat rich region.
In The Hands of the Lawyers.
Some of the lawyers of the country
are engaged in settling up the pins
for the new antitrust legislation.
There have been numerous conferences
of the leaders for the purpose of
agreeing upon a program that will
have the solid support of the Demo-
cratic party. OF the twenty three
of the two committees in the
house and senate that will direct this
legislation all but Senator Smith of
South Carolina are lawyers.

Some runts are naturally weaklinss

BY separating them. however. and
giving these runts some special care
they ought TO return some profit.
