IN SEVER WORDS.

Tomorrow we celebrate the nine
teen hundred and fourth anniversary
of the birth of Jesus Christ, and it
is we'll we do so; for, whatever we
may think Of the divinity of the
Nazarine, none will question the
beauty of His teachings or the per-
lection of His life. Then, if, in
celebrating his birth, we partake
but ever so slightly Of His spirit,
the effect upon us will be Christening
and ennobling.
peace on earth and goodwill to
men," that was the message Christ
brought to the world nineteen hun.
dred years ago, and it has been
ringing down through the ages ever
since, appealing with constantly
increasing force to all nations,
tongues and peoples. peace on
earth and goodwill to men," the
beginning and end of all virtue and
goodness in seven words. 1t, to-
morrow, you but take that message
home to yourself, regarding it
as an injunction laid upon you
by divine authority, and, only for
the day, strive to live up to the
spirit Of it, you will have done
much towards elevating your own
soul and something towards the
moral Improvement of all humanity.
''Peace on earth and goodwill to
men," Let that thought fill your
head and heart throughout the
morrow. Repeat the words over
and over again to yourself, speak
them to family and friends, shout
them to neighbors and acquaintance
until your soul is saturated with
the sentiment, and, then, in very
truth you will be celebrating Christ
mas as becomes a man and Chris
tran.

make for himself a distinguished
name. W. believe it is his set pur-
pose to serve the State honestly
and loyalty, with a view only to
the best interests Of the people. Il
is our earnest hope that nothing
may happen 10 disturb our present

We happen to know him quite well
and, speaking from that knowi-
edge, can say that he is every inch

We do not know much about Mr..

good men and, from all accounts,
Bragaw is rated as one of the best
of them.
It is not necessary to say any
thing about those who were re-

But about the legislators, aye,
there Is the rub What antics

THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL.

Idaho is growing and that very
rapidly. With the increase of
population there naturally follows
an increase of litigation. This
necessitates, from time to time, the
cutting up of judicial districts into
smaller units, territorially speaking.
The business of the third Judi
cial district seems to have grown to
such proportions that it is practic-
ally impossible for one Judge to
take care ofit-even so industrious,
we might say SO strenuous, judge
as Judge Stewart. An attempt
will be made this winter to divide
the third Judicial district and create
from an portion thereof the Seventh.
1t should be done. Meantime
people are specializing on the
judgeship. Of all the possibilities
so far mentioned Frank J. Smith
Esq. is received with most favor.
Mr.. Smith has been actively and
extensively engaged in the practice
of law in this County for ten or
twelve years. He stands profess
sionally with the foremost lawyers
of the State. and. as a citizen and a
gentleman, has won the confidence
and esteem of all who know him.
We do not know whether or not
Mr., Smith would accept the judge
ship in the Seventh if it should be
created, but we do know that no
better man could be found for the
place, and it will afford us great
pleasure to have an opportunity to
support him. a-s.# -. s..as @st. q.

IN ORDER to get some idea of
public sentiment on the question of
building new court house, prom
inent men in the principal towns of
the county have been interviewed.
In so far as the investigation has
proceeded, no opposition has been
encountered, but, on the other
hand, much enthusiastic approval
hes been expressed. We are dis
posed to think that there will be
little, if any, opposition to the ex-
penditure of a reasonable amount
of money for this much needed
public improvement.

BETTER FEELING.

If we look a little beneath the
surface, we will find cause for graf
ihcation and congratulation in the
fact that "a representative men,
drawn from the body of the county
from Payette, Emmett, Parma,
Nampa and other places-that "a
representative men have subscribed
to resolution urging the construc-
ton of new court house. That
demonstrate that the men of Cam
yon county are expanding-grow-
ing in wisdom and developing on
liberal lines. 1t has been known
for six Or seven years that the pres
ent ramshackle-it would be pro-
fanation to call it a court honse-is
entirely inadequate, unfit and un-
safe. Public officers and others
having public business of conse-
quence have been alive to the great
and ever threatening danger of
utter destruction of the thousands
of valuable records contained with
in that same ramshack1e. There
are court records, probate records,
records of titles to millions of prop
erty, real and personal, which any
day are liable to vanish in smoke
by the careless dropping of cigar
stump or match. Should those rec
ords be destroyed, a half million
dollars would not cover the losses
thereby incurred. This the "a
jurymen sensed, and they felt that,
in duty, they were obliged to in
form the people of the county of
the condition and urge upon them
the necessity of promptly applying
the remedy. While. heretofore, on
account of community jealousies
and hatreds, it would have been diff
6cult, if not impossible, to find a
representative body of men to per-
form that duty, the fact that it has
been performed shows that wiser
and better feelings prevail over the
county. People have come to see
the futility, not to say stupidity, of
cherishing the rancorous spirit. 1t
is vain and Improbable exercise.
1t blinds communities and individ-
uals to their best interests and is
fruitful only of bitterness and mis-
chief.
There can nowhere be doubt of
the necessity for new court house.
There can be no question as to the
wisdom of proceeding as rapidly as
possible to its construction. Plain
common sense dictates that much.
The only thing that could inspire
any sane man to oppose would be
an unkind feeling towards Caldwell
or a vague hope that, by preventing
the building, the county seat might
some day take wings and fly to his
particular town. We do not think
there are any sane taxpayers who
still cling to that fondly foolish
dream. and the number who cherish
sentiments of enmity towards Cald
wells rapidly diminishing. People

GEORGE /. sHoUP.

Shoup is dead. Mingled with
suppressed emotion, the words pass
from man to man upon the street;
they are spoken in subdued half
whispers, solemn and sad, in Office
and store; they are heard in remote
ranches, they reach the lonely pros
pee tor out in mountain wilds, and
wherever they come, throughout
this State, there is sorrow and tears.
Senator George L. Shoup-but
who who that knew the man thinks
now the Senator great as he was,
faithful and true, as public SER
want, and splendid as will be the
page upon which is recorded mis-
public services, yet, in the hearts of
men will dwell more sacred record
-the memory of George L. Shoup,
the man, the neighbor, the friend.
Oh, it is glorious thing to SO live
that when death comes the hearts
of those who knew us are touched
with genuine sorrow and regret!
In the last awful hour, when no
human power can longer stay the
catastrophe, when the secret beyond
the grave must soon be solved, and
man realizes that he is about to go
forth on the vast unknown, alone
and in darkness, then, there is no
consolation like the knowledge that
he so ordered his life as to win the
love and gratitude of his fellowmen.
g When that hour came to George L.
Shoup he had that knowledge.
He was beloved as few men have
) been. And he merited all of it;
for, he loved his fellowmen. There
was not in him mean or vicious
trait. Every impulse of his nature
was generous and honorable. He
loved to do good. He sought out
the needy and distressed for the
pleasuse of relieving and comforting
them. No suffering human being
ever appealed to him in vain. Go
where you will, in Idaho, and there
you will find men who in one way
or another have benefited by his
generosity.
Morally, a courageous man, phys
ically, brave and daring, and, for
the right, firm as a rock, yet his
heart was as tender as a woman's s.
A tale Of misery would instantly
bring tears to his eyes, and he
would risk his life to relieve fell
low creature in actual want or dis
tress. s. r.
Words fail when we attempt to
do justice to the character of George
L. Shoup. To understand and APP
preciate hinA, it would be necessary
to visit the homes of poverty and
distress, to interview struggling
young men, 10 go out to the camps
Of miners and prospectors, and from
hundreds of other sources gather
the history of his benevolent deeds.
He loved his fellowmen and was
beloved of them. His death is
keenly felt and sincerely mourned
all over the State. He was ever
generous, upright and true, and
the memory of him will be cher
ished in the hearts of men for many,
many years to come.

SOME RELIEF TO TAX PAYERS
State Rate is Cut to a Considerable
Extent.

The fact that the State tax rate has
been reduced from S. per $1,000 to
$4.8 so is of interest in Americas as else
where, particularly to the property
owner who pays any considerable
amount of taxes, as do many in this
city and county. The sum of 81 80 per
$1,000 will bring 10 the State 50, 157, :
$40 income. The other income of the
State, which will make up the remain
der of the money needed, will come
from the rental of the Western and At
IantIc railroad and special taxes. The
rate is apportloned as follows: For
the general fund three mills, for the
school fund l so mills, for the sinking
fund 20 of mill. This rate Will bring
into the State treasury for the general
fund 81 592, 219; for the school fund
$849 1888; for the sinking fund $l06, lat.
With the state rate thus reduced, and
with the assurance that the county and
city rae will likwIse be lowered, the
Americas property owner will indeed
congratulate himself upon the general
improvement in conditions.
