The Put-It-Offs.

My friend, have you heard of the town of
Yawn,
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Wait-a- while flower fair,
Where the Some time other scents the air.
And the soft Goeasys grow?
1t lies in the valley of WHAT'S the use,
In the province of Let 'er- slide
That tired feeling is native there,
1t S the home of the llstless don't-care,
Where the Put-it offs abide.
The Put-it-offs smile when asked to insure,
And they say will do it tomorrow,
And so they delay from day unto day,
Til death cycles up and takes them away,
And their families starve, beg or borrow.

SNOW FALLING
IN THE SlSKIY0US
Trees Across the Track and ieie'
graphic Communication
Is Interrupted.

A fierce snow storm ragged in
Sierra Nevada and Siskiyou Mount
aims Monday, and, as a result trains
on all lines of the Southern Pacific
were little late. All the snow
shovels of the company were pressed
into service to clear the tracks of the
snow drifts.
The storm played havoc with tele-
prshp wires. The Southern Pacific
Company had no communication
Tuesday further than Blue Canyon,
in the Sierra Nevada Mountain and
Dunsmuir, on the north. The poor
telegraph service made the handling
of trains extremely difficult Up to
late hour no damage along the line
was reported at the local office, al
though in several places trees .had
blown across the track and delayed
trains.

A SOLAR PLExUS.

The Tribune is pleased to chron-
icle the news of the complete re-.
generation of Nampa. After cater.
ing to the commercial interests OF
man for a number of years, the
people of that thriving community
arose as a man and said, owe will
have no more on it." Moral refor-
nation has hit us a solar plexus,
and we see the error of our ways.
We will solar plexus few our
selves. The popgun, the limerick
and the baudy house must go. We
will smite the cigarette, the bicycle
fiend and seven-up; for they are the
triple evils of the generation, and
Nampa will have none of them.
False alarms, loafing on the side
walk, and Discrimination to work
are also made crimes under a pen
atty of $500 fine. Even the etet-
nal prerogative of the circus mana
ger to short change persons during
admission is challenged. All these
and much more are under the ban,
for all manner of evil is taken up
and rigidly disposed of. The refor.
nation is so complete that nothing
more is to be desired. The Tribune
is fearful lest a number of Nampa'
reformers will be out of job. Thai
disaster would cause Nampa almost
as much uneasiness as TO have
lime cavorting through her streets
and sauntering through the alleys
Indeed, we don't know but that i
would cause more trouble. Anc
the grand jury still sits.

bodily harm to the men under
arrest, neither will they make any
attempt to rescue the prisoners. A
calm determination to ferret out
the Steunenburg assassins, and
then to' adequately and legally
punish them has taken firm hold
on the minds of Caldwell people.
Some correspondents feel under a
moral obligation to dig up sens
alton, and the little matter of truth,
concerns them not. Detectives are
quoted as saying Everything is
quiet in Caldwell today" as though
that were an unusual occurrence;
when as a matter of fact every
thing has been quiet for two
months. Probably when Boise
correspondents come down and
see real live town transacting
its every day business, they
imagine taat something startling
is doing, and it would be fol

"THE INNER CIRCLE"

Since the arrest of Harry Orch
ard, startling charges and still
more startling innuendoes have
been thrown out respecting what
is known as the Inner circle" OF
the Western Federation of Miners.
1t is charged that there exists
within this great labor organiza-
ton a clique of men who hesitate
at no crime; who calmly plot
arceny, murder and treason. The
confessions of Orchard and Adams
sum to sustain the charges and
the subsequent indictments of
Messrs. Meyer, Haywood and
Pettebone lend feaibility to the
innuendoes. If this condition exists
no condemnation is too harsh and
no punishment too severe for these
men. But in this connection labor
organizations are not on trial,
except that they deserve condem-
nation for electing to high Offices,
men whose characters are not
thoroughly known to them. The
fact that the plots are made by an
elmer circle" is proof sufficient
that the great body of miners are
ignorant of the true conditions.
Anarchy oft times creeps into labor
organization as radicalism and
plutocracy oft times gains control
of political parties. 1nhdelity
frequently insinuates itself into
fraternal organizations, as dis
honestly and bigotry sometimes
creep into the pulpit and sensation
alism into the press. But no one
would think of condemning fratern.
al associations, political parties,
the pulpit and the press indiscrim'
irotc.,y or tine members thereof,
generally, because some ha, e proved
criminals. The elmer circle" is
solely responsible. In the Western
Federation of Miners are many
men as honest, as patriotic, as Coo
fearing as can be found any where
These men are members of churches
lodges and political parties ane
faithly attend to their duties a:
men, as Christians and as American
citizens.
