A LEGALIZED FRAUD.
ON PURELY TECHNICAL GROUNDS the w
preme (court has decided that the tnisleading
caption trf the proposed amendment of the local
- option law must b allowed to go on the ballot in the
' -Jitae election. .Thearaendinent was framed by the liqiiof
interest' and fs a -virtual nullification of the -preientiaw.
It is.to be aubmitted toth i Voters for enactment by the
" itiittatlTe.-'CrT - ; v
The' secretary of atate is required by law. f place on
the ballot "the titles and numbers of the various meal-
-ire to ba votad iipott"? and he is further required, tous
for each measure a title..designated . for that purpose by
... the legislative assembly, committee, or organization"
' which presents the proposed legislation.
The liquor dealers, requested thejiecretary of state to
designate their measure as anJact "giving anti-prohl-bitionists
and prohibitionists ' equal privileges.'y:Nothing
could be farther from a true description: of the purpose
of the measure If the purpose-' were irilruth7Tnerelyt8

object is to 'secure the virtual repeal of the local option
law, which waa enacted by the people two years ago.
There is no hint of this in the title by whicbtheir bill
is to-be designated on the ballot and it is deeply re
grettable that the supreme -court has noJUfpnnd ground
or preventing so gross a fraud upon the public , -.. .

Ths worst -foes that Christianity - has
ever had to contend - with are those
found upon its own aoll. Juat as in our
states svry movement for civic reform
cornea by and. by to be "boaaed" by a
scoundrel, so In the church of Christ
every work to give men ths gospel is
opposed by false prophets who pervert
and counterfeit the gospel. .The most
powsrful enemies of the gospel ars
those who have been born In Its home,
rooked in Its -cradle and nursed at its
breast. Paganism would speedily be a
thing of the past , were it not -hut th.
moment -'gospel, mlsaldn 14 located, a'
dnaa prnxlmliy Tons and tons of in
naei books have been unloaded upon
India and Japan of lata -years on ao
count of the success of missions. Ths
activity of ths Christian church was
never so great aa now. but perhaps It
would not bs too much to say that thM
never-was such determination upon the
part of unbelief to ruin the. crop by In
jection of poisonous weeds. -

gospel labors find it difficult to believe

est man is ths "easiest mark" tha dis
honest man knows.- Even a large axna.
riencs with men will not suffles to curs

versa zs. But ths owner of tha hia
posssssea the Intuitions of the Infinite.
He does not suffer from those limita
tions which hamper bis servsnts In their
aviiempw to aervs mm. It Is quite
true that In ths long run "a man'. in
will find him out (Num. xxxll:zt), but
the -omniscience of God does not need
to wait for sin's sslf-dlsoovsfy. Nat
urally tha first thought Of tha aarnala
is that one should root out these noxious
growins ins sooner the better.
Verse XI. But our Lord recorwlBed
the fallibility of human - Juda-menta.
The attempt to separata the good seed
from the tares would necessitate a
trampling over of ths .hole ground.
which would prove ruinous to tha crnn.
We cannot doubt that ths Savior here
urges his dlsclplesto caution. In our
Presbyterian "book vasf- dlaclpllns ths
fathers or tne snurcn, wblla seeking to
found en organisation reasonably pure,
warn from- beginning processes of dis
cipline where the uncertainties of proof
and tne sympatnies or excellent people
with the accused might be productive
of more hsrm thsn good. When a
church attempts to - Supervise all ths
if conduct upon the nart of tta
members, or all the deductions which
may possibly, bs dra n from the pecul
they enter
upon a destructive work which it may
take many yeora to counteract.
Verse 10. Fruits.. are more readily
known apart than roots. It Is a dull
res per who does not know wheat from
chess when both are ripe. It hes taken
the - church a long time to learn the
wisdom of thess words of. our Lord, and
they are not -very well comprehended
yet. France stamped out a Bible teach
ing that has mads Ervgland great Rus
sia has not permitted any dlasenter to
llvs In peace In her boundarlea, and has
brought nprm herself greater disaster
than she ever wrought upon her Molo
kans or Doukhobors. What Jesus asked
for ths gospel waa not force, but "a
fair field fcnd no favor." His angsls
(w. 41-41) would be able to discrimi
nate the good from the . bad when the
period of probation sho-dd be closed.
The fate of the two harvests should bs
noted here.. The wheat will be care

tares will be wholly destroyed, v.,

Whether we can reconcile all the prob

by a well-known London- photographer.
After some days ths lady, Miss B..'was

This sbs agreed to. but again she was
Informed that the photograph was a
failure. There was a third sitting. In
two dsys' time she received sn urgent
letter from, - tbs" photographer, asking
her to coma up to his studio and to
bring a friend with her. Miss B. went,
accompanied by her mother, and waa
shown the amaslng results of the three
sittings.
The pictures of the girl herself were
quite good, but tn each plate there was
to bs seen standing behind her the fig

AtAaotla. Idaho."
May. 4. After a disagreeable nlghl
we collected our horees-at-sn early hour , .,
and - proeeedeoU with a .continuation of
the same weather. We are now "nearer" '
the southwest mountains, which appear .
to become lower as they advance -"" j
towards- the - aerthsast. We - followsd "
ths road over the plains Tor four ml lea
to a" ravine, where was the source of e
small (branch of ths Alpowa) creek, '
down ths hilly and rocky sides of ' ;
which we proceeded for eight miles to
Its entrance Into - the - Le wla-Snaka
fiver, about t miles aboe the wiouih ..;
of the Kooskooskee. Nesr this place we
found ths house Which Wshkoonut had
mentioned, where- we halted for break--.-""":
fast It contained - six . families, so y
miserably poor that all wa oould obtain r
from them -were 'two lean' dogs and a
few large eakas of half-cured bread,
made of a root resembling the sweet
potato, of all of which we contrived .
to form- a kind of soup. After our re
peat we continue our routs along the
west' slds of ths river, where, ss well - r
as on the opposlts shore, ths bills ap
proech it closely, till at the. distance .
ot three miles ws halted opposite two
houses. -Ths- inhabitants consisted of
five families of Chopunnlsh, among"
whom ware Teton, or Sky, the younger
of ths two chlsfs who had accompanied
us In the autumn to the Great Falls of ,
the Columbia, and also our old pilot,
who had conducted ws down the -river

The Car of Shade Trees.
From Outing Magaslne, ' : "
-It will be well to look to the' shade
trees early in tha season. The .gypsy
moth, which Infssted maples In many
parts ot the country lets laat fall, may
havs left-eggs which, escaped ths appli
cation of Insecticide -advised -at that-
tlme. I would advise fnlag over these .
trees this month with tbs following
preparation which I havs found better '
than anything else. I have ever tried:
Melt a pound of Ivory soap and mix
with It while quite warmpnej!nt-of
kerosene. Agitate until complete union
takes place. The mixture can then be
added to 11 quarts of water. .An emul
sion will readily be formed by the op
eration -of ha sprayar. Kpra jr he treee
thoroughly among their branches, but
scrub their trunks, using for this part
ot the work a stiff-bristled scrubbing
brush, with bandla Inserted In the side
Insteap of the top. This will enable
you to get the emulsion well In among"
ths bark, where eggs may have been de
posited. If Insects appear, repeat the
application. -
' In fighting tree enemies, not much
oan be accomplished In town or village
where residences are elose together, un
less' all property owners work In onion
With each other. If A and C will do
nothing to rout the peat, B's sfforts will
count -for little, ifere Is where com
munity Interests should prompt each
lot owner te cooperate heartily with hlf
