OF going out there every Sunday
morning for a bath and a cock
tail, and though enforcing the
law in his jurisdiction, he does
not forego the cocktail after he
takes his bath. Riverside park,
inside the city limits, sells a
sandwich for 35 cents and pre-
sents the buyer with a bottle OF
beer to wash it down. And still
the saloons, which bought IL
censes permitting them to sell
every day in the year, have to
close at midnight and all day

He Climbed the FIaa Pole.

One of the interesting events "pulled
off, Labor Day was not down on the
program. The rope with which the big
flag is hoisted in front of the court
house, broke and ran out of the shieve
one day last week. TIE rs foot staff is
made of iron pipe, tapering in sections,
from six inches at the bottom to three
inches at the top. No one could be
found before Labor Day who would
attempt to climb that pole and rive in
new rope, and it was thought that
the celebration would have to go on
without Old Glory floating DER the pa
triotic crowd. The exercises we're he
gun in the morning under such la
inevitable conditions. But j. E. Mas
ters, superintendent of the Tybo- Blue
bird mines, came in from Pixley basin,
noted the absence of the flag and vol
unteered to set matters right and did
it. Slowly and steadily he made his
way up that smooth and slender staff,
carrying the end of line with him.
While thousand pairs of eyes stared
anxiously up at him until he reached

The military spirit Of the Jap
is protesting against the peace
terms made by the government.
The old idea of spoils for the vic
tor still remains with them.
Magnanimnity in dealing with
the foe has so seldom been prac-
ticed in Europe-never by Russia
that the Japanese army and
the masses at home are indig-
nant at the moderation shown
by the emperor and his peace
commissioners, and they even
talk OF revolving against such
terms. But the Mikado and his
advisers are right and the entire
world is applauding them. Our
own government was the first to
set such an example. 1t fought
the war with Spain for the sake
of humanity, and when it had
freed Cuba and incidentally cap
tured the Philippines, it paid
Spain for the latter, set Cuba on
her feet with an independent or
gained government, and let go.
Japan has acted much in the
same manner in not exacting
tribute money and only demand
ing permanent peace.

SO miles long and has been in

September 25 is only a little

when will begin the Idaho Inter
Mountain Fair at Boise, and the
good times prevailing in the
state, the good crops, the par

other things combined, should
enable her to make such show

Church Essentials.

There are some fundamental essen
tials which every church ought to re-
veal, be II country or cosmopolitan,
large or small. The first, II seems to
me, Is that II must be composed not
only Of regenerated. but OF consecrated,
men and women. A church succeeds,
as God considers success. as that
church surrenders its win TO God. Re
ligion is essential In a mans life. The
most powerful agency In the world to-
day is cooperation. Germany. united
by Bismarck, Is great power. The
nlted States Is what Il is because OF
that unity. Trusts may be abused. but
they have the one cardinal principle Of
cooperation and consolidation which is
so fine an example Of loyalty. Lastly
l think that a church should have a
loyal and aggressive service along with
en- unfaltering love for the kingdom of
God. Into the church must be put
