Immunity by confession In lew trou bles nnd lota inoro certain thnt ncqulttnl by Jury. A man who Is unnblo to henr money tnlk Is nhvnys wntclilng to hcg If It will not mnko sIbiih. A innn'n bond Is like his pockctbook ; It's not tlio outsldo nppenrntico but whnt It contnlns thnt countfl. Fnlth In nil well enough In Its wny, but don't put too much of It In canned goods nnd cold storage eggs. Our missionaries nro unpopular In Chlnn, but nro they moro unpopular than Chinese missionaries would bo In thin country? Tho newest Idea an to hazing seems to bo that Annapolln cadeU may diso bey the mlo a llttlo without Jeopardy to themselves. Tho burglar who weakened before tho threat of n Fourth of July pistol evidently knows n rcnlly deadly weapon when ho sees one. From n neighboring Htnto cornea tho story of n boarder who killed bin land lady. One's natural curiosity an to whether It wan prunes or hash In not Krntlflcd. Undoubtedly there In great unrest In the country now. It In n time when overy steadying process should be ap plied to public opinion to tho end that reform shall be accomplished and made permanent. John Fiirnoii, (ho ('hlcngo banker, In credited with having said: "A million aire Is a ulnve." This In true. What Is a mero million Is thesu days? A man must have at least twenty million be fore ho can even he considered "well off." W'lillo other Kuropenn nations have been lighting each other or In various ways have tilled up their tlino nt home tho people of the Itrltlsh Isles have been exploring tho globe and bavo been pel zing on the territories of savage and ImrbarotiH peoples wherever It could Ih done. The result In that Groat Britain owns n largo area of tho western hem isphere than tho United States nnd It ban extenslvo oNscNslonn In Asia, Af rica and tho Islands of tho ocean. "Tho lilea that tho wearing of wings, breasts and other feather ornaments on woiiiou'h millinery niHossltntcs tho wholesale slaughter of birds Is nlllosh," mid a manufacturer of feather goods. "Ouco In a while a fashion roincn In that calls for n particular feather or ijulll that only one bird produces, but wings, breastH and even the whole birds nro made from the feathers plucked from poultry drcNxcd for table use. Wo tako tmlcs of feathers, sort them, dye them, brush them, curl them and work them up Into whatever Is wanted, and not a blrd'H life Is Haerllleed." The development of any new Illumi nating protein appears not to affect tho demand for light In other forms. The electric light, both are and lucnudci rent, has been added to gnu rather than taibstltuted for It. More gas has been burned, In jiivjHirtlou to tho population of American cities, xluco (Irtish and I'M Ikoii uiailo their discoveries than for merly. Tho iimi of oil for lamps In creases, notwithstanding gas, electric ity, acetylene gtiH ami devices such as tho Incandescent burner, which produce far moro light with a given ipmutlty of Illuminating iluld. Wo now know why tho scepter In hlowly passing from the bauds of tho masculine. It Is because of his clothes. Miss Agnes Iteppller, a Philadelphia essayist and club woman, says so. She mj'H so long as men wore costume that "Interpreted their strength, enhanced their persuasiveness and concealed their BhortcoiulngH," so long women accepted tlioiti as masters. When men rashly abandoned tho bright costumes that charmed tho other sex they saw their llulsh. Tho situation teems hopeless, Kltber men uuiNt go back to velvet Unco breeches mid gold buckles, slashed dou blet, lace trimmings, feathered hat and Uuegrlo or let woman go on dominat ing. It Is up to man. Social wrongH are corrected not by exposing their results but by searching for and removing their causes. Wo have preached against lynch Inw for a decade, but It Increases. The wisest of American statesmen and public men nro today recognising the fact thnt this preaching law nnd order will not make It, that there Is no stopping this fever In our blood until respect and love for law has taken the place of apathy. Imw to bo respected must bo made respect able. To get for it tho active biipjvort of moral men and women, to mnko them willing to light to protect Its dig nity from outrage It must have vitali ty must, as the old deputy marshal said, bavo "blood and bones." A movement U spreading through tho Vest which has for Its object tho per iiineut marking of the old trull, along Alilch tho country wan penctrutixl aim crossed by adventurer nnd emigrants In tho period before tho construction of railroad. This U a highly praUo Irorthy undertaking dud to tu degree g me x lines s that tho object Is faithfully accom plished will be a nioro noteworthy con tribution to history than many of tho books that are bo classed. Out In Kau nas they bavo a "trail day," which la observed In tho Kansas public schools. The purpose of It Is to Instruct thu children In tho history of tho old Santa Fo trail, with Its significance lt the growth of tho West and through the Interest thus aroused In tho community to rnlso money for marking the courso of tho trail which stretched for -100 miles across what la now the Htnto of Kansas when It was a wlldcrnesw. It In beginning to look an If the pro jected tunnel under Iichring strait to unlto tho railroad systems of the two continents might becomo n reality, al though It ban been more or less scoffed at an tho Imprnctlcablo Idea of a dream er. The ItUflHlun government In said to bo tnklng a eorloun view of the scheme. Iichring strait In only nbout thlrty-olx miles wldo nt Its narrowest point, be tween Capo I'rlnco of Wales on tho Alasknn shore nnd tho Ennt enpe In A'sliu In tho middle of the strait aro tho Dlomedo islands, whose presence will facllltato tho enterprise from an engineering standpoint, ns they will servo as a midway station for the ex cavation nnd vontllntlon of tho tunnel. Tho dlstnnco between tho Dlomcdes nnd cither slioro Is less than that Itctwccn Dover and Calais, and no engineer of rcputo doubts tho possibility of success fully tunneling under tho English chan not. Last yenr 0,007 individuals, firms nnd corporations engaged In legitimate mercantile occupations In this country suspended business nnd failed to pny their debts. Thu number seems large, considering thnt 1005 wan a year of general prosperity, but It Is small when ono considers thnt there were l,It.r)2,017 concerns In business In thu United Htntes. Fraud Is ono of the constant causes of commcrclnl failures, hut It In far from being the principal one. Fraud never can bo got rid of, but It does not nppenr to bo making any headway. In 1002 the percentage of failures ascribed to that cause was 10.1. In 11)01 It wan 8.(1, and In UK).") It was 0.2. If any reliance can be placed on Hrceutages tlio commercial world Is not permeated with dishonesty. The public, which has read so much about grafting In high places, In politics nnd grand finance, may tako comfort In tho thought that dishonesty Is not rife among tho average business men of thu country. Only four of last year's fail ures woro due to speculation. That does not provo thnt njicculntlon In rare among men engaged In commercial oc cupations. Probably there nro many of them who nro moro or less siwculatlvo, but only four got caught. If there bad been a panic or n sharp depression In values tho number of failures duo to speculation would bavo been much larger. Incompotenco nnd lack of enp Ital nro tho chief cnuses of bnnkruptcy to-dny, nn they have been from tho be ginning. To them (V7.8 per cent of last year's failures aro aserlhcfl. The man who has exceptional business ability can mako n start with practically no capital nnd scoro n succoes. Men of only nverngo ability who aro handi capped by the lack of adequate capital are llkoly to go to tho wall, even when general conuuerclnl conditions nre fa vorable. Of the failures of 100S, 2.-I28 were duo to Incompotenco. Thoo fail ures cost creditors 910,000,000, that being tho difference botvveun assets and liabilities. The failures duo to fraud wero less expensive, the loss to cred itor being n llttlo over fil.00O.00O. it Is business Incapacity rather than dis honesty against which creditors should bo on their guard. Tlio I ml Inn MX it Clllai'ii, Of nil aboriginal races our Indians aro tho Illicit, except, perhaps, the Maoris of New Zealand. They are more enduring than the .South Sea Islanders, more Intelligent than native Africans, moro resolute than the In dians of .South ami Central America. They have furnished strategists In plenty, orator, a creative scholar In Sequoyah. In tho Atlantic Charles I. Harvey argues that the Indians were the Inventors of modern war methods the open order ami the Individual Initiative. Uuller met In South Africa the same tactics that llraddock met In I'enusylvnnla, and the Itrltlsh had learned llttlo In the meantime. As It has been some yearn since there was ruiy outbrenk to revive the old libel that "there U no good Indian but a dead ono," It Is quite time that the Indian became simply a cltlren. He will bo less picturesque but moro com- fortnble. Tho Iilrnl riiittilnif. In Moutnun, along the line of the Great Northern Ilnllroad, a pelting rain wnH falling one November day. Inside tho section house, tho rusty soft coal stove, potting In Its Uw of sawdust, was rod with heat. Two section hands came In. drlpplnj: like tho proverbial rats, nud proceeded to stand as close ,to tho Ktovo as they well could without being scorched. Shortly clouds of steam ascended from their soaked clothing, and tho small room soon resembled a vapor bath. "I tell you, Mike," said ono ns bo squeezed the water from the hem of Ids trousers, "overalls U tho things to wear, fer no mntter how wet they are, they are soon dry." "Naw, Jawn, mncklnaws Is tlio byes," replied tho other, ns ho looked down with satisfaction at bis plntn suit of thick woolen. "Macklnnws la tho only clothe, fer when ye nro wet and cold, they knpo yo so war nun and dhry." A savage dog has caubed many u iuuu to lead a chased Ufa. I IDAHO ADVERTISING; Thoi.
