Attainment

On the Hills of Dream for long I'd wan
dered,
Wandered with my dream love by
my side.
Hand in hand on the high Hills of
Rapture
I had walked with her my Dream
land Bride.
But one morning from our happy val
ley
We Jared forth to a forbidden land.
Though the gray mists hung about the
hill tops
We. all fearless, started hand in
hand.
Slowly. then, the mighty sunrays
frightened,
Filled with crimson color all the
clouds,
And the heights toward which we two
were climbing
Stood out clearly from their misty
shrouds.
Striving for the highest, we climbed
upwards,
And were climbing when the noon
day sun
Was high in heaven, but we paused not
And still were climbing when the
day was done.
Through the day we might have filled
with rapture,
We were climbing toward the highest
crest,
Little knowing. aye, and never dream
ing
That the human love of hearts was
best.
For an ideal of the spirits union
We neglected. yes, and spurned the
love of clay,
| And so wasted in a fruitless striving
All the hours of our loves young day.
When the night came we were weary.
weary,
And each footmark bore blood red
| stain.
When we reached the height we had
, been seeking.
Lo, we found it was the Hill of Pain.

Passing of "little lewiston"

1t may be interesting to many people
here, who may not know, in what year
the CITY of Lewiston" was first in
corporated. In the issue of The Lew
iston Journal on February 1, 1867;
kindly furnished by Mr.. C. c. Bunnell
of this city. the following appears:
incorporation of Lewiston.-Lewis-
ton is no longer a small town of fifty
inhabitants as once reported in Boise
Her name can now be spelled with
capital L, as she is no longer little
lewiston She has the grand charter
of a city.-'The City of Lewiston and
must be hereafter recognized by that
name. SO have said the solons at Boise
City, and we suppose the people here
will say amen!
ION the second Monday in March
our people will be called upon to elect
a mayor four councilmen, a recorder,
treasurer and marshal, who will Or
ganize the government of the city on
the first Monday in April. The city
Incorporation act will appear in our
next"
1t will be particularly noticed in the
above that there must have been con-
siderable rivalry in the early days be-
tween little lewiston" and Boise and
the granting of charter for this city
must have been an event of much sat
isfaction and Importance to Lewiston
people.
In thirty-seven years there has been
but little change in the number of the
town council as it appears. at that time
four councilmen We're to be elected.
while now we have but six.

of a good woman. My ideal must be
broad minded, with the knowledge
which comes from experience and dis
goodness OF ignorance or Of sheltered
life. Why, could tell you of cases
where Mrs. HIS point of view, narrow
In its very righteousness. has caused
serious family trouble, where she has
passed criticisms on people who were
not doing us she thought they ought
to do, and these criticisms have really
affected their social standing"
81 am sure she never says anything
about anybody unless the person de-
serves itp'
ell, l have known her to pass judg-
ment in several cases where the victims
did not deserve Judgment, but she
thought they did. l will do her this
credit-she doesn't realize she is saying
these things They come out quite
naturally In the course of CONVERSE
ton as part of her views on life and
things in general. The trouble Is that
her views and ideas of life are not in
fallible and are even less so than those
of the average person, because she
really does know so little about the
heart throb and pulse of life. She re-
CARDS weakness as crime and tempta-
ton as sin. Well and good. but she
has no right to give her opinions on
the subject. She ought to remember
the Judge not that We be not judged
Of the Scriptures and be glad for her
part that she has none of the turmoils
and hardships and temptations of life
for which she blames others. 1t Is such
a hard world, after all, that the best
of us ought not to be too good to ex-
tend universal charity"

Mary's Lamb and What Came OF II

Little Mary had a lamb
Its fleece was full of ticks
And every where that Mary went
The lamb she had to fix.
1t followed her to the store one day
1t was against the rule
To have a lamb at such a place
Instead of at the school.
1t made all the clerks feel gay
To see the little fool,
Tearing around among the things
Just like he was at school.
He jumped DER the counter and chairs
And upon the ladies' desk
Upset the ink and spoiled the pens
And made an awful mess.
Then the proprietor he got mad
And thought to solve the riddle
Then Mary bgan to pout
Cause he turned out her lamididdle
So Mary had II take him home
And put him in his pen
Ne'er to go shopping with her again
For he brought the house no money
And made all the clerks act funny
To see the little fool
Butting around among the things
Just like he was at school.
Lake naughty boys or bad men
Poor lamby came to a bad end
For he broke away from his little pen
And ran away from home again.
Away upon a mountain high
Where soon ne was there to die
For he became entangled in a bush
And still was there a buttin
When along came an old man
And killed him for a mutton.

The Peoples Forum
Give Your Thoughts Expression

! quire an employee on such work to labor
in excess of eight hours each day and
to infict punishment upon those who
are embraced by such regulations and
yet disregard them.
1T can not be deemed a part of the
liberty of any contractor that he be al
lowed to do public work In any mode he
may choose to adopt, without regard to
the wishes of the state, On the con-
trary. it belons TO the state as the
guardian and trustee for it's people and
having control of its affairs, to pre-
scribe the conditions upon which it will
permit public work to be done on its
behalf or on behalf of it's municipali-
ties No court has authority to review
its action in that respect Regulations
on this subject suggest only considera-
tions of public policy. And with such
considerations the courts have no con-
Germ.
IF it be contended to be the right of
everyone to dispose of his labor upon
such terms as he deems best--as up-
doubtedly 1t Island that to make II a
criminal offense for a contractor for
public work to permit or require his
employees to perform labor upon that
work in excess of eight hours, is in der
ogation of the liberty both of the en-
ployes and employer. it is sufficient to
answer that no employee is entitled of
absolute right, and as part of his lib
erty, to perform work for the state, and
no contractor for public work can ex-
cuse n violation of his agreement with
the state by doing that which the stat
ute, under which he proceeds distinctly
and lawfully forbids him to co.
The national supreme court then
scores the courts which rendered "un-
constitutional" DEGREES regarding leg
islation. and declares: I'VE are re-
minded by counsel that 1t is the solemn
duty of the courts in cases before them
to guard the constitutional rights of
the citizens against merely arbitrary
power. That Is unquestionably true.
But 1t is equally true-indeed, the pub
lie interests imperatiyely demand-that
legislative enactments should be recog-
nized and enforced by the courts as
embodying the will of the people unless
they are plainly and palpably beyond
all question in violation of the funda.
mental law of the constitution. 1t can
not be affirmed of the statute of Kansas
that 1T is plainly inconsistent with that
instrument: indeed. its constitutionality
is beyond all question"
BY Justice Harlan. November 80, 1903
Reese VS.. Akin, Kansas City Kan.
l have reports of half a dozen cases
where the short hour day of New York
has been attacked and in each instance
the court has sustained the law. In
one paragraph of an opinion by Judge
Vann he gives a most substantial rea-
son why "socialistic legislation of the
worst character" should be upheld: at
Is to the interest of the state to have
strong, robust. healthy citizens, capable
of self-support of bearing arms and
adding to the resources of the country.
Laws to effect this purpose. by protect
ing the citizen from over work. to re-
| store his strength and preserve his
health, have an obvious connection
with the public welfare" See 149 U. S.

in that and stick to 1t. Have a purpose
a fixed field of EFFORT believe in your
work, understand your work and let
people know that you know what you
are about. Try to be recognized as an
authority on what you have under
taken. Look for new truths concern
ing ii.
You must have character if you
would succeed. Associate with men of
energy and high purpose, keep away
from the saloon; avoid intemperance.
Do not swear unless you wish to cheap
en- yourself, nor be obscene unless you
hunger for contempt. Do not lie or ex-
aggerate.
Net the success you strive for be more
than a pile of money. Be systematic
and charitable. Determine to be wor-
thy of the confidence of all who know
you. If YOU can not possess wealth,
possess character. If you are true to
yourself. your friends. your country,
and your God you will have become
success. UNCLE IKE.

Don't Be a Cypher

Don't be cipher. This should be the
determination of every school boy.
every student in college. every man in
the world This means that the whole
heart, soul, and strength should be put
into the work undertaken. The world is
full enough of ciphers now; what is
wanted are real figures.
The cipher man is always waiting
for some one else to move: he is a
hanger-on a dependent; he does not
produce himself Often he becomes
driftwood, possibly tramp.
The cipher man waits for something
to turn up instead of being himself the
cause of movement of progress. He
trusts to chance. and chance is a Dit
filled with the bones of its disappointed
victims. He has faith in luck and luck
is the fools highway to beggary.
The cipher man leads no army to
victory, makes no great inventions. or
hews QUIT he path of lasting reform,
or lessons human suffering or increases
the worlds happiness.
To succeed. you must not depend on
birth, fortune. talent luck or education
How often noble family is blasted
by graceless son; riches take wings
and fly away when in the possession of
the sons of wealthy men. There are
plenty of talented men who are unable
to get living. Men who have gradu-
ated from college fail to succeed.
To succeed you must be willing to
work; you must have some kind of
work you can do well; you must excel
