MART PATRIE.

"They" say he was a trickster,
schemer, a man Of guile and devil
Gus ways, in politics, of course.
And who were "they"? The sche-
mers and tricksters of the opposition
whom Mart outwitted. He wrought
better than they" and "they' en-
WED and hated and traduced him.
For nearly twenty years he was an
influential factor in Idaho politics.
He had the faculty Of making him
self felt, and a personality which
drew to him hosts of friends. But
they" were sore on his political
methods, and we'll they might be,
because his methods were not de-
signed to aid and comfort the
enemy. From a commercial trav-
eler, in vets, he evoluted into a
shrewd politician and became a
prominent figure in public affairs.
His name will always be connected
with the early political history OF
the State, and, as time softens the
asperities Of political strifes, his
memory will be affectionately cher
ished; for he was an amiable and
generous man. He has passed off
the stage, but all who knew him
well will experience a feeling of
sadness when they recall his pres
ence and realize that he is no more.
And this touch of pathos is the
highest tribute which the living
can pay to the dead. You NAV
build monuments of marble and
statues of gold, and display all the
pompous trappings of grief, What
are they? Mere vanities of the liv-
ing and mockery of the dead, COM
pared to one heart throb of genuine
human sympathy and honest regret.
Mart Patrie has solved the great
riddle, and the generation of men
to whom he belonged will soon, one
by one, take their departure as he
did. The time is near at hand
when that mysterious journey must
be commenced, the end of which nc
man knows and for the beginning Of
which few are prepared. Let lives
be so ordered, then, that when the
dark and lonely march is begun,
there will remain in the hearts Of
those who tarry behind, at least
one heart throb of genuine sorrow.

NO CHANGE YET.

If general report may be credited,
the financial affairs of the munich
pality of Caldwell are not in
fourishing condition. In the clos
ing days of reform administration,
the general fund is exhausted, the
road fund is overdrawn and the
bridge fund has been depleted Of a
considerable surplus to cover deficits
in other departments, and no reve-
nues for six months to come. Such
is the tale told on the street, and in
the absence of any official statement
to the contrary, it obtains credence.
incidentally it is proper to inquire
why the city treasurer has neglect
ed to publish the reports he is by
law directed to publish. Mayor
Rice should look into the matter, if
matter there be.
And what of the moral situation?
Have all the social impurities been
expurgated, according to promise
and expectation? Have the "gild-
ed bells" been turned into chape1s
and the scarlet resorts into temples.
If so, it is not so reported abroad
We fear there has been no marked
change for the better. Those who
started out as regeneration and ref
ormatlon enthusiasts, have grown
cold and apathetic in the service.
They ale willing to lay the burden
on evolution or any other agency
which promises definite, however
long delayed, results. But the
good work must not be abandoned.
There is much to be done that can
be done, although it may not be
done by municipal fat.
We're it not for the dread of being
charged with inexcusable presump;
ton, THE TRIBUNE might, on the
approach of another city election,
offer few suggestions to reformers
in general. Before anyone starts
out to improve economic and moral
conditions, he ought to be very
certain that he is quite sincere
about it. Then he should know
the nature of the evils he intends to
eradicate, and be sure that he does
not within himself cherish evils

The Boise Statesman seems to
have attached to itself Caldwell
correspondent that will neither en-
nance the popularity of the paper
nor improve its reputation for vera
city. A week ago the correspond
ent made covert, sneering attack
on our best and most substantial
citizens, and last Wednesday made
statements, backed by alleged rumor,
to the effect that none of the present
city officials would consent to be a
candidate for reelection. It is
enough to say that these statements
were mere Pigments of a mischiev-
Gus mind. Whether they were the
invention of the correspondent or
the correspondent was the tool o.
someone else, makes no difference
the Statesman ought to get informa
ton from more reliable sources.

we'll, Idaho.

desire 1evied-on1y S cents on the
hundred dollars Of valuation
should be voted. We are told by
those in charge that the reading
room has an average weekly atten-
dance of some 900, mostly people
from out of town, and that the in"
stitution is constantly growing IN
popularity. This clearly indicates
that it is a public benefaction de-
serving of liberal support. The
| appetite for reading is growing up
on the American people at tire"
mendous pace, and it is wise to en-"
courage it. Even as diversion,
reading is highly beneficial, and
the taste for it once formed lasts
through life 1t is a wise policy
which places within reach of young
and old good books, newspapers
and magazines. The fathers and
mothers, sons and daughters OF
Caldwell should not hesitate to
give their influence and their vote
to help along the reading room. A
generous disposition in this direc-
ton may turn the course of many
lives into happy and useful chan
nels.

tello Advance, Notwithstanding its
naturally spiteful and choleric dis
position, cannot look the Idaho
Academy in the face after one of its
peppery skits, without blushing
''ya1ler." True, the appropriations
are considerable but they are all for
worthy objects-for schools, bridges,
roads, the various enterprises and
improvements which make for pro-
gress and civilization. There has
been some wild criticism of the law
regulating the taxing of mines, but
unfortunately the critics conflne
themselves to general denunciation.
If they would be more specific their
criticisms would be entitled to more
consideration. The Pccatel1o Ad-
vance is terribly exercised about
the law which provides that man
may secure a divorce from his wife
when she becomes insane. 1t does
not appear that this law has any
bearing whatever on the Advance
mans domestic relations unless,
percnance, it works both ways.
He is excited in contemplation Of
the possible contingency that some
man, unknown, is going to at some
time, Underlined, put up a job on
his--said man s-wite, have her
pronounced insane and sent to the
asylum in order that he-villain
atoresald-may secure a divorce.
Horrible prospect! But why not
dump the intolerable incumbrance
into the Portneuf and save all the
tedious detail?
1t seems to us that the Legislature
made a mistake by killing the Eight
hour bill, but at this time opinions
are somewhat conflicting as to the
practical effect of an eight-hour law.
We believe, though, that law
should be enacted making eight
hours a legal work day, in the alb
sence of specific contract to the con-
trary.
It may be mentioned that women
were given equal property rights.
This was prominently a measure
for the relief of ultra-amiable hus-
bands whose whole stock of rights
had been absorbed by their partners
in conjugal bliss. The Seventh
Session will long be remembered
and revered for reducing women to
an equality in one respect, at least.
Had it done more on this line, its
memory had survived longer and
its name would have been more
deeply cherished by mere men.

Northern Pacific Improvements.

Some practical joker has started a
story that the Northern Pacific intends
TO extend its dock out to the point, a
distance OF one-half mile. AS such an
undertaking would require pilings
about $50 feet in length and cost a big
sum of money without necessity ex-
listing for such an improvement, the
absurdity of the proposition is appar-
ent. The story was worked off on the
Spokesman-Review as piece of news.
Information from reliable sources is TO
the effect that the company expects to
soon begin the erection of new de-
pot and dock. 1t is probable the depot
will be located near the old one with an
attractive park and lawn surrounding
it. Whatever plans the company has
for building the link between this place
and Wallace, it is keeping them from
the public, although there is every indi-
cation that that the extension will be
made.
