tive land we are ready to fight its in- ternal enemies as we'll as its foreign foes?
 Are we ready to fight the saloon and all its sinful dives and all the evil vampires
 that are trying to suck out the lfeblood
 of our social organism? Are we willing to be true to the nation and come to her
 help, as the Hebrews should have been willing to spring to the aid of Caesar s
 couriers and go with them not one mile,
 but twain?
 Would that in these times of peace we
 might be as true to the best interests of
 our nation as were our ancestors in times
 of war! Then 1t was with them no ques- ton of money. Oh, how heavily the bur
 den of taxation rested upon them! Every loaf of bread in those war times was
 taxed; every cup of coffee and tea was
 taxed Then the women sewed and the
 men poured forth their money in rivers
 of gold. Not only did they give their
 money. but they gave their blood and
 their lives, to save the land Mothers brought their sons to the recruiting off cers and said: "I am a woman. l can not fight, but here Is my boys, my brave | boys. Take them and let them die as
 sacrifices that their country may be free.' Fathers left their wives and their chil- dren; brothers left their parents, their
 sisters. their sweethearts. Those brave
 men left these brave women and went forth to die by the tens of thousands in order that their country might be free. Oh, ye men, in these times of peace, can not you hear your country callnig you to come to her aid and mploring you to
 make the same kind of sacrifices as your
 ancesors made in time of war? The heroes
 of peace must be just as brave and just
 as true as were the soldier boys who
 waded through blood-soaked battlefields
 and whose bodies are now awaiting the l call of the resurrection in the trenches of Bunker Hill, of Yorktown and of the Wilderness.

 might suppose, literal but a figurative interpretation It does not simply mean that you should be willing to travel with man 2000 paces. which was double the distance of the Roman mile. but it means that in the home. the store, the church,

render unto God the very best service you can. You should sacrifice for his name, no matter how great the sacrifice may seem to be. It is said that after one of the famous Spartan battles a Lacedae- monian mother hailed the courier who brought the news from the front. This mother had five sons fighting in the army.
 How goes the battle?" called she. Alas" said the courier, "all thy boy are slainn I did not ask thee how faret my boys. but how fares my country II the battle is won all is well, no matter what has happened to my sons" So may It be with us. May we not work to find out how it shall be with us but how 1t shall be with others. May we work and continue to work not for our individual selves, but for the best interest of the home, the store. the church, the country. Then we shall be working for God and humanity. Oh, men and women, will you travel for others today the twain mile?

Domestic Difficulties.

What is true about the difficulties be- tween the children of home is also true in reference to most of the difficulties be- tween husbands and wives. Instead of some men and women looking upon the marriage altar as an opportunity for pro- noting the happiness of their marital partners, they look upon it as stepping stone to throne, where they can make their husbands or wives work for them. Their marriage altar is not symbolized by the beautiful nuptial ceremony which the Cherokee Indians used to have. There the young bride and groom used to stand upon the opposite banks of brook and clasp hands over the running waters to show that hereafter their interests and work were to flow together as the waters some husbands being willing to go the twain mile for the wife. or some wives being willing to go the twain mile for the husband, each says, "I will do for you what I am compelled to do. and I will not do anything else"
 A young man wooes, wins and marries a young girl. She has been brought up in a well to do fathers home. She was an only daughter, and to a great extent she had been spoiled. Time passes on. The young husband tries to keep up a home to the standard in which his wife has been accustomed to live but the in- Day after day he keeps saying: Nellie. you must economize.

thai section who had been using the
land should be permitted to share in
the lease if he wished to do So For
some reason there was delay by the
lessons in putting that understanding
into effect, and when It became ap-
parent that something was wrong the
governor went over there and straight
ened the entire matter out.
There was nothing to prevent the
state board from leasing the entire
tract TO one man, but the governor,
being familiar with the business, knew
there were small owners in that section,
and he made this arrangement for their
protection. 1t was far better for the
state to close the matter up promptly
when there was such fine opportun-
ity TO make lease with men able to
pay the rent two years in advance; but
the governor, realizing that smaller
operators, accustomed to running their
hocks on the land, might wish to
share in the lease, stipulated that all
such should be taken care Of on the
ground hoor-admitted to participation
in the lease. Those who have been
growing at him now realize he was
watchful Of the interests of the small
owners, and the fact that he has
caused the arrangement to- be carried
out shows he did not propose 10 have
it set aside either through some mis-
understanding or through selfish repu-
diation.

The Hecla Mining Company of Sho-
shone county this week declared an
other dividend of ten thousand, making
$4,000 paid since the company was
organized. Of this sum $4,000
was paid during the present year. But
under the Francis Jenkins mine tax
alton law this, along with other rich
properties, pays practically no taxes.
The principle Of taxing mines and
other corporate interests according to
the net outfit is all right but the trou-
bic is that the rate on such property is
rediculously low, made so purposely
through such brilliant political geniuses
as jenkins Of this county and B.

TRUTH ABOUT IT.

After all the big howl made by mug
wamp editors, so-called independent
newspapers, and democratic journals
throughout the state, in which the
state land board was so roundly abused
and fairly smothered with accusations
Of corruption and graft, here is what
the whole affair amounts to. The
Boise Statesman says:
1t looks as though the subject Of
the land lease in Fremont county had
been disposed in manner that leaves
no ground for complaint. The under
standing reached when the lease was
executed has been carried out; the
small flock owners have been admitted
to share in the lease, as was planned
when the lease was drawn, and the po-
sition of the governor is fully sustained.
When that lease was made it was
understood that any stock owner in
