You remember the story of Virginius.
He and his little band had resisted
Roman tyranny until at last they were
taken captive. Virginius was captured
His beautiful daughter was to be taken
away by the Romans and he asked one
last request of his Roman captors He
asked that he might be permitted, be-
tween the lines of Romans to bid his
beautiful daughter goodbye. The re-
quest was granted. Virginius came for
ward and met his daughter. He pressed |
her to his heart and kissed her temple |
He drew q dagger from beneath his bod |
ice CndP 'fbbed her to the heart. He
theh turned upon his captors and said:
IF had men could free Rome" And
so today, in the words of an eloquent
man from whose lips this story fell, we
need men and we need women: we need
noble men and noble women and we
have them. Most of our people, men
and women, are noble lofty and pure,
whose highest ideal in government is
that ours may be the best. Exercise
then. the duties of citizenship. and If you
do and If our people do, and those who
may come after us, we will have a coun-
try worthy Of the fathers who purchased

A WONDERFUL MEMORY.
The Story Marcus Told Of n Young
COrsican Marvel.

The Story Marcus Told of Young
Corsican Marvel.
Maretus tells us that during his trav-
els over Europe he met the marvel Of
marvels" at Padua. The marvel in
question was a young Corsican who
was in the city for the purpose Of pur-
suing his studies at the university.
Marcus, having heard that the young
man was gifted with an extraordinary
memory, desired to put the student to
the test
The person who had informed the
traveller concerning the wonderful re-
tentiveness of the young Corsican's
memory declared that he was so gifted
in that faculty that he could repeat as
many as 10000 words if read over to
him but once. Maretus and three dis
tinguished Venetians agreed to test the
accuracy of the statement. A commit
tee visited the student Of extraordinary
memory and found him willing to sub
init to the ordeal. Accordingly there
was read over to him an almost inter-
minable list Of words strung together
without any consecutive order and
without any meaning whatever.

KNOW THY COUNTRY.
A Precept That Every Citizen Should
Take to Heart

Take to Heart.
Juvenal said, '"This precept descends
from heaven-know myself" To this
we add-know thy country. Know its
area, its population, its products, ma
tive and exclusive, agricultural and
mineral. Know its present output and
Its possibilities. Know its states, its
territories and large cities and what
they are severally noted for. Know
its geography and Typography, its con-
stitution, principles and history, its,
literature, it's art and its sciences, itsI
philosophy, discoveries and inventions.I
Know its relation to other nations,
both political and financial. Know its|
possessions - Alaska, Hawaii, PortoI
Rico and the Philippines-thelr history
severally, the customs and languages
OF their people and the sources of their
wealth. Many men know these things
nowand love their country and are serv-
iceable to their fellow citizens In pro-
portion to their knowledge. 1t costs
labor and the sacrifice of so called
pleasure to acquire this knowledge, but
to the genuinely manly man, whose
life's purpose Is to make the utmost of
his abilities and opportunities and who
in one way and another is developing
his country's hidden treasures and i'm
parting his own practical enthusiasm
to other lives, there are a relish and a
delight in the search for knowledge
that compensate thousandfold.

SOME FACTS TO CONSIDER.

Iynfayorable comment has been made
In some Of the state papers on inc
workings Of the states depository law
which was originated under the present
state administration. 1t is urged that
there is no necessity for such vast
sum of money to be kept on hand. Inc
money that Is loaned under this depos-
TORY law to banks for not less than
2 IL per cent. interest, are daily bal
ances belonging to the various current
funds. and the amount Is not beyond
the required sum to meet theexigencies
Of the service. These amounts come IN
from various sources, and are neither
stationary nor excessive. At the be-
ginning of the Morrison administration,
there were some 100000 on hand IN
these and other funds, and this vast
amount did not earn one cent for the
state. How much of temptation such
a large amount Of temporarily idle mon
ey was to the cupidity Of the officials
Of former time. or what If any, profit
accrued to other than the bankers, who
handled these funds absolutely without
any security to the state or its officials,
1t is not the purpose of this article to
discuss.
No long time loans can be made for
any considerable portion Of these funds,
as they are raised for current demands
and are Of necessity largely subject to
call. AS to deficiency warrants, they
are issued to supply theneeds Of special
funds and these current funds are not
subject to, or available for. demands
thereof. Ordinarily when an admins
tration which has been SO free from
public scandal and offers it's books for
the inspection Of widely distributed
constituency, a spirit of fair play would
dictate that petty advantage would not
be taken by a technical discussion. The
governor is about over the state now
discussing state and national political
questions, with an openness that COM
mends itself to everyone. He is pre-
pared and does answer every question
propounded to him for the purpose of
bringing out the truth. Any attempt
to blacken the name of Frank r. Good
ing, by petty bubbles that are an in
suit to the average man of affairs, will
recoil upon it's author. Every thrifty
community has these shifting SURPRISES
Or balances in current funds, and the
modern way of putting them to tenn
porary use for hire to banking concerns,
is a wholesome reform of the old way

to vote for and then upon election day
the people would come and vote for the
candidates upon the tickets, not whom
themselves have chosen for their stand
ard bearers.
If could describe to you what con-
slider the best kind of government 1t
would be a government in which there
would be no legislative body, no execu-
tive body and no Judiciary save the fegis-
lative, executive and judiciary Of every
mans and every woman's heart and soul
and conscience. But the time has not
arrived when this system Of government
would be practical. You remember in
the good book the account of the man
who agreed to work for his neighbor for
seven years. At the end of that time
it was agreed that the daughter of the
neighbor should be given to this man
as his wife. At the end of the seven
years when the work was completed,
Laban denied to Jacob his daughter
Rachel and said that he must work sew
en- years longer Jacob did work seven
years longer and obtained Rachel for
that that was mean trick that Laban
played on his prospective son-in-law and
my sympathies have always been with
Jacob. (Laughter) Well, ever since that
time, and maybe before, there have been
people who have tried to drive a shrewd
bargain. It is to protect the great
masses Of the people against the wrongs
that here and there individuals may do,
we must have government and laws.
The worst kind Of government is des-
potic government The best kind Of
government we can have now Is that
government in which the people share.
1t Is the government of the people, by
the people and for the people. And as
they exercise rights and realize their
responsibilities SO will our government
be good and great and grand Cap

So Senator Dubois would apparently
have you believe that the Mormons in
state convention are as polygamists In
their votes as he says they are in their
wives. daughter and applause.)
Now, candidly, does 1t look as though
he were sincere? But he goes further.
They say that polygamy is being entered
into They say that new polygamist
marriages are being consummated We
have law against polygamy. We have
as splendid laws upon moral questions
upon our statute books as any state in
the union. If the statement that Sem
ator Dubois makes is true, why does he
not point out a single case and see that
the offense is punished?
Challenge to Dubois.
At the risk of offering Senator Dubois
every means of proving such sincerity
as would enable him to command a ma
jority of the votes of Idaho, may ask
why the Democratic party does not point
out and prosecute these men that they
say have committed this crime and are
committing this crime from year to
year? (Applause.)
The fact is, that the statements are
untrue. / have confidence in the people
