An Old Political Issue revived.

LII the early days OF our national his
tory whether the General Government
should take a hand in making internal
improvements became one of the great
political issues. The matter was fought
out in Congress and in political cam,
paigns, and finally settled in the afir-
native. Among the improvements dis.
cussed the building of roads was prob
ably the most important: Plans were
made for connecting the different parts
of the country by national highways
The National Pike was built from.
Cumberland, Nd, to the Ohio River,
and then on westward. The plan was
to build to st. Louis, but before that
point was reached the building of
steam railroads had begun, and the
people lost interest in the road ques-
ton. s3 sasf W
In these days when river and harbor
bills are looked upon as a matter OF
course, and national aid to road i'm
provement is considered d novel propo
sition, it is interesting to recall that
the question Of road building by the
nation was a great and burning issue
long before river and harbor bills were
ever heard of. 1t is also worth noting
that Presidents were vetoing river and
harbor bills as unconstitutional long
after national aid to road improvement
had become q settled policy.
1t does not seem probable that the
question of constitutionality will ever
be seriously raised against such legis-
lation as hat proposed in the Brown.
low bill for national aid in the building
of roads. It can be defended as strong
Iy as river and harbor legislation Under
those clauses of the Constitution which
authorize the Federal Government ito
promote the general welfare" and to
regulate commerce between the
States" But. in addition to these it
finds it's strongest warrant in the au-
thority conferred upon Congress ITO
establish post roads" a provision that
is. growing in practical Importance

A careful examination Of the trees
that are struck by lightning shows
that over half of them are poplar. From
this fact scientists conclude that the
poplar has some value as a conductor
of lightning. Therefore agriculturists
are advised to plant these trees iii the

THE OLD. GUITAR.
By EMMA cHuRcHMAN HEWITT.

1t was noon hour in a large bust
ness establishment, and d group Of
merry girls were standing by a win
dow, c~hattering, as such girls will, of
everything and nothing. Even a cas-
Hal glance would reveal the fact that
the force of this office was socially far
above the ordinary run OF such places.
In fact, many of these young girls bore
in their faces such evidences of refine
ment that it was hard to understand
just how they found themselves there.
To the manager, however, a warm
hearted, sympathetic woman, was
known the private history of nearly
every girl in the establishment.
From disliking her as an innovation,
and fearing her rule as a %curtailing of
privileges which they had wrested
from the firm, under the very slack
management which had preceded her
advent, they had grown to respect n
love her in spite of the inflexible will
to which they were obliged to bow.
They had gradually recognized the fact
that adherence to duty alone was the
standard by which they were gagged.
When this fact was thoroughly under
stood, 1t soon became a recognized fact
that the clerk who disliked the mana
ger was one who would shirk her lie.

1t was no wonder then to see her

"Have you ever been to st. Johns at

Clyde Hanson has recently as"
stunned publication of the Malad
Enterprise and is making of it
real good, clean, honest paper. Mr..
Hanson, though young man, has
had newspaper experience and TN"
til taking charge of the Enterprise
was connected with the Logan Ma
ton. He appears to be well edu-
Gated and, what is more to the pur-
pose, we'll informed. At one time,
the Enterprise was something of a
power in the land, and if we mis-
take not the signs, Mr.. Hanson
will restore and increase its former
glory. 1t will take him a little
while to get on to the Idaho situa-
ton, but when he does, he is very
likely to be heard from. The
TRIBUNE extends good wishes, and
feels to congratulate the people of
Malad and Oneida county.

BOise's Police Judge.

Upon the resignation OF Judge J.
A. McGinty, who has for some
years filled the Office of police mag
istrate of Boise with marked ability,
integrity and credit, the Hon. Jos,
w. Houston was appointed as his
successor. Possibly no other police
court in the United States has the
distinction OF being presided over
by'a ex-Chief Justice of the State.
1t is needless to pronounce a
panegyric on the distinguished Elk
Chief Justice. His worth and abi1-
ity are known the length and breadth
of the State. We cannot pass over
the irony of the situation, though.
It will be remembered that Judge
Houston was one of the leaders of
that disreputable mob anathema-
tized by the Statesman in the late
municipal campaign. Now, he
occupies one of the most honorable
positions in the reform Hawley ad-
ministration. There is a kind of
devilishness in such fate, and, if
we mistake not, it fills Judge
Houston with almost fendish glee
to contemplate it. If the first i'm
portant act of Hawley's retorma-
ton may be regarded as a criterion,
what, oh, what will be the finale.

THE GUN WAS
NOT LOADED

The Emmett-Pearl Record says:
A sad and fatal accident occurred
at the home of Mrs. Flora Simmons,
about seven miles below Emmett,
last Monday afternoon, through
which her little son, aged 3, was
shot and instantly killed by an old
er brother, aged II. Mrs. Sim
mons was in Emmett at the time Of
the accident, preparing the neces-
sary papers to secure the pension of
her late husband, who was an ex-
soldier.
The little fellows, as far as can
be learned, were playing with an
old gun that had lain rusty and
unused for a long time, and which
was supposed to have been empty
at the time,
The elder boy, pointing it at his
little brother, exclaimed, II will
kill you," little dreaming that his
words would become a sad reality.
Well, it was the same old story
the gun went off and the innocent
victim, to the horror of his brother,
fell back 1iteless.

Work was resumed on the Golden

property. In charge. Mr.. Hitler
returned from Portland the latter
part 70 last week, where no made ar

producers Of the Cable Cove district,
having shipped some very high grade
ore during the former years of its
operation, but nothing has been done
recently except enough work to hold
the claims.

is To abandon the old workings, and
move further down the mountain
and start u new crosscut, which, In u
distance of 400 feet, will tap the vein
at u depth Of about i5O feet. This
will reach the rich ore body, averag-
