Coterie DisgruntIed Politicians
Pocatello Tribune

Jake Horn has sold out his Boise
Republican" to the Ada county con
fusionists." The "confusionists'' are
a coterie of boilers from both parties.
Were they of sufficient numbers they
might. succeed in disrupting both the
democratic and republican parties,
but they are merely a handful and
will have little or no effect on this
election. Tehy will accomplish moth
ing, not even for themselves. The
man who can't be a republican or a
democrat after his particular faction
has gone down to defeat is of little
use to either party, and will accomp-
fish little toward purifying politics.
Persistent work for pure politics, in
your own party, will accomplish in
finitely more than periodical boiling.
A man who leads bolt or joins in
one is nothing more than a rule or
ruin politician.

PROFESSOR ARMSTRONG
FOR REFORM SPELLING.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 26.-
City Superintendent William G. Arm
strong is n Of the 240 OF more
school superintendent who have an
nounced themselves as being favora-
BILE to the plan Of phonetic spelling
reform as sent out by the simplitied
spelling board. Prof. Armstrong said
yesterday that he would like to see
the new style of spelling adopted,
but 1t was not his intention to force
his private opinion upon the New
Brunswick school board or the citi-
zens in general either. At least for
some time to come, the new system
will not be used in the public schools,
either compulsory or even advisedly.
However, in case a pupil should come
into the local schools from one in
which the phonetic system was used
and that pupil uses the system con-
sistently, it would be accepted by the
teacher, by his advice, just the same
as a system of writing is accepted
when a pupil ONE in from another
school in which a different system is
used. A list of ten words such as
"catalog" or drafting" which was
accepted by many a number of years
before the simplified spelling board
came into existence, is used regularly
in the New Brunswick schools.

A Tragic Episode
THE great actress told me of a touchingly tragic
episode of her early married life. She was
travelling in a foreign country and her first BABY
lay i'll in her lap. The hours on, every remedy
at her command was tried, and in agony she prayed
and waited Before her destination reached the
baby lay dead in her arms. Covering 1t with her
Overskirt of the fashion then worn, she held it TO

still lives freshly in her affections That
night she played at the theater, taking the part
of Marie AntOinette.

books and | say it with all due respect; bit
like his photographs, which, after all, made him
seem little sour.

his home. In our conversation he said, There Is

you have SAID all this, add to 1t
that she is sixty-four years old. If
she is tearing our hearts out at the
theater at night, she is up by ten
o'clock in the morning in a white
satin neglig6e, busy in her studio.
There is one thing that saves her
she settles herself down any place to
rest, and goes sound asleep. If she
has misfortune, it is because of her
good heart; she gives away every
thing. The one thing that envelops her
heart is her son The only time
that l ever saw her affected was in
playing the part of a mother who
goes through everything for her boy.
That night she was in reality the
woman that she was playing.
These are the lines that she once
wrote in my daughters album-per-
haps they are not the ones that you
would expect of her, unless YOU knew
her: May God, my dearest Mignon,
grant you the ideal happiness, which
is to keep near us those we love, and
to make them happy!" They show
touchingly the deeper, woman1y side
OF her nature.
The last time that | saw her was in
London when she sent me a box for
Fedora, which was played at the
matinee; in the evening she was do
ing Camille" The power of her por-
travail had wrenched our feelings.

old attendant, at seems cruel to ask
