CREMATE THEM.
OF.

IL the writer ever runs for the
Legislature he will make the race on
platform having but one plank,
namely, cremation. We believe the
whole burial system ought to be
done away with. Graveyards not
only hold the bodies of the dead,
but they scatter death among the
living. Disease germs have been
known to live in graveyards for a
generation and then scatter death
throughout whole community.
Burn the bodies Of the dead Gre
nation is cleaner, cheaper and
healthier. Furthermore, a man
who is to be cremated has the com
forting assurance that he will not
come to and find himself shut up in
a ,ofiin with nobody about to help
him out. After he goes into that
retort heated hotter than the old
orthodox hell was supposed to be
heated, these is no danger of being
buried alive. we do not know that
we would approve Of the custom of
putting the ashes of the departed in
a bottle or an urn and setting the
bottle up on the mantel. being oblig-
ed to explain to every visitor that
the bottle contains the ashes of your
mother-in-law for example, but we
do believe in cremation. The cost
ought to be reduced not less than so
per cent: in fact it ought TO be re-
duced more than that. At present
the cost of buriais is so high that
only plutocrat can really afford to
die. There are probably many peo-
pie wandering around now who
really ought to be dead, but they
have put it off on account Of the ex-
pensa.

a GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The present price of radium, We
believe, is in the neighborhood of
million dollars per pound.
1t may be a few cents either way,
either above or below a million dol
lars per pound This, however,
does not trouble us. When we go
into a store and call for pound of
radium it really irritates US to have
the clerk figure up the odd cents.
But here is great opportunity, it
seems to us, for some enterprising
young man to make a strike.
The present price of radium is to
high. Not over half the people of
Idaho can afford to have radium
regularly on their tables at the pres
ent price. A great many cannot
even afford to have it for Sunday,
to say nothing of the other days of
the week.
What is needed is an increase in
the supply of radium so that the
price may be reduced to a popular
figure.
1t is our opinion that there is plen-
ty of radium if we only knew how
to find it. If some person can dis
cover a substance that contains
radium, some common substance
like alkali for example and then in
vent or discover a process by which
it may be extracted at a moderate
cost tnat person can within a few
years make the holdings of John D. |
Rockefeller look like 80 cents.
1t is estimated that single pound
of radium will furnish heat and
light, ample heat and light, for a
room Is feet square and keep it up
for period we believe of Is thou
sand years. In addition it may be
said that disease microbes curl up
and die when they get in the neigh
borhoolof radium. Therefore if each {
family could afford to have hunk
of radium in each room the question
of light, heat and health would be
solved so far as that house was con-
cerned for a period of eighteen {
thousand years. The oil trust
uJaulb ha out of tho runninU tho
,oal trust would also be put out of
business and there would be mighty
little left for the doctors to work y

LONDON, oct. 12-Although not a
word has leaked out to the press, a few
details concerning a remarkable jewel
robbery which occurred in the year 1873
are beginning to circulate in the clubs
as the result Of some very recent and
startling developments
In 1913 the Earl OF Verulam, a direct
descendant of the great Lord Francis
Bacon, Of Eizabethan days, was
robbed o. a collection Of jewels. which
included historical pieces of priceless
value.
Lord Ve~ulam is one Of those peers

has been in constant communication
with London detectives. who In their
turn have been in touch with the Amer
lean force.
Within the last few weeks. however.
there have been developments OF an
amazing character. Lord Verulam has
received back one Of his most precious
heirloons from AIdershot. The anoHy-
nous letter which accompanied the
heirloom stated that the whole of the
jewels and other articles would be
eventually restored If a big ransom
were paid. The letter was evidently
written by a gentleman OF culture.
Among the many articles missing ara
