STATE APPROPRIATIONS.

1.-THE present administration, with
the assistance of the legislature, is
the most wasteful that has ever gov
erned Idaho. From the appropriation
bills 1t Is shown Ell, 1874. 500 is nec-
essary to maintain expenses for the
next two years. This is about dou-
bic what 1t has cost heretofore, but
those who have kept tab on the reck.
less manner In which public funds
are scattered will not be surprised
that we have passed the million dollar
mark in expenditures.
The total deficiency warrants of
the past two years, representing
money expended by the present ad
ministration in excess of the appro-
priations made by the legislature
two years ago, and for which the
present legislature provided by APP
preparation makes a total of s1Bs,
o44.72. Governor Gooding ST emit
that much more during the first two
years Of his administration than the
legislature appropriated. Taken in
connection with the expenditures al
lowed for the coming two years
the people may form some idea OF
what Mormon rule is costing them In
Idaho.

some little minds presumed OH the pos

In the rail splitting days Lincoln
could 60 in his shirt sleeves to the din
ner table Of his employer and hold his
own as a social being and a man OF
parts beside the minister, the school
teacher. the lawyer and even the judge
or member of congress when one Of
these worthless dropped In. Friends
and iptimates of Llncoln's early years
have turned up in scores and hundreds
because he touched a wide circle Of
active men, some of whom rose with
him out of those surroundings, while
others stayed on about the same level,
none the worse for having done So
To account for the elevation of such a
man to be the head Of the nation and
the standard bearer In movement
that revolutionlzed national ideals It
is only necessary to say that he was
lifted by a great ground swell Of mid
n NOto
the middle west then was in Its pio-
neer stage-rough, but progressive and
almost angry with the determination
to do right and to do 1t thoroughly.
Emerson said that Napoleon Bona
parte was democracy incarnate." He
didn't need to be democrat himself
to I'LL that role, and at heart he was not
a man Of the people. Lincoln was a
democrat all through. Democracy was
born In him and stayed with him. A
potentato might emancipate race
from sheer policy or from pity and not
be entitled to immortallzation for It,
Lincoln wanted to see all his own
kind, Of whatever color, condition or
estate, have a chance. Theoretically
that already was the ideal Of the re-
public, AZ 1t should be. His work
made the theory vital force. To
gods we give worship. but to men love.
Lincoln Is loved rather than idollzed.
Music hall crowds are subdued, but
not electrified, at the mention of his
name The claque was never with
him. He was the kind quiet people
watch, swear by and love without
shouting 1t from the housetops. So II
was all along his career, from the
Sangamon's peaceful banks to the Pc
tomac's stormy shores, from log cabin
to White House. from splitting rails
to breaking chains.

Linooln,s Time.

Abraham Llncoin's work as an eman.
eipator is not enough in itself to &C.
count for the widespread reverence OF
his name among the people today. The
genesis OF this reverence reaches back
Into the years before emancipation and
before he had proved himself great
war leader, The year OF the election
In 1850 the terms "old Abe" and "Abe
the Rail splitter were on everybody's
tongue throughout the east, north and
west ana that with deep respect, ex.
cept with the few uncomproinslng pro
slaverlsts. In order to understand the
general temper of that time we must
remember that there were hosts of
people all over the Union who thought
that slavery was an evil, but did not
think that anything In the nature Of
forced or sudden emancipation was
the right way to end II. Hosts also,
who stood by the old dag later, be-
leved that the south had a constitu-
tional right to secede IL they chose.
People holding these moderate views
took Lincoln on his merits as a man
OF the loftiest Intentions and the best
leader In the land for the crisis then
upon the country. Political dlsputants
might actually come 10 blows over Lin
coins principles with regard to slav-
cry, but the bltterest opponent Of his
policy would grant that he was honest
In his convictions and free from all
taint of fanaticisn and blgotry.
Ilncoln's history was not talked
about and written about In the early
sixties as Il Is now, but the chief points
In II were household possessions. His
democratic lineage and environment
played a great part In establishing that
personal popularity which in his case
became national power. But this
was not soclallstlc loyalty 10 a fellow
socialist. The rich. who believed In his
principles from innate conviction, took
stock Ia him as a man because OF his
origin and career. Yet he was not
idollSed and folsted because he had
been born poor and had split rails for
a living before going to congress. Low,
" birth and poverty were not his cap.
ital. They had simply proved him.
And, after all. his beginnings were not
miserable and unpromIsing. as some
would make out Meagerness and
rough work were the common lot In
those days among the people who ere
ated the prosperous present. A man
who EOt together $1,000 was thought
well of. BY fortunate Investment OF
that sum he could obtain holdings
which made him pass for a rich man.

IL Is understood that a quiet effort
is being made to put up a ticket
which is to stand for wide open

Knotty and FIimsy Cases Come Up so
Frequently That the City Is

Counsel

The civil service commission yester-

tanning the services Of some official or
deputy from the city's law department
whose duty It shall be to act as legal
adviser of the body One of his prin-
cipal duties will be to sift preliminary
evidence in all cases where charges are

being brought up before the board.
Recently charges have been preferred
and not legally proven In number of
cases, the result being the consumption
of much time by the commissioners and
the attack in print of regulations of
persons who had a good defense to
charges preferred by persons who could
not legally back them up.

odist Revival and Hear Sermon
on Grievlna the Holy
Spirit

The second of the series of meetings
being held at the First Methodist
church by MelviA E. Trotter last night
eclpsed the greatest expectations of
the workers. The main auditorium of
the church was opened for the service,
and after 1t was filed the gallery was
also opened, and before the service be-
gan every available seat was occupied
and even the chairs in tn choir loft
and the stairs leading up to the pulpit
were occupied by an immense congre-
cation. The interest and enthusiasm
that marked the first night were
eclipsed last night.
Following the experience Piven by e.
E. Leary, superintendent of the City
Rescue mission, Mr.. Trotter spoke, TAX
ing for his text from Ephsians 4:30
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
redemption" He said in part:
"A spirit-filled man is a great work.
er and all right in the sight of God.
The Holy Spirit is given by God and
he is no respecter of persons. But man
must not grieve the Holy Spirit; if he
does he loses his power for good and
does not know where he stands. You
take the Holy Ghost out of this church
tonight and you would go to killing
each other.
You cannot grieve an influence, but
you can person. l am here to boost
Jesus He never works in tobacco nor
its smoke and If q man cannot carry a
Bible with him there is something
wrong. When a man surrenders en-
tirely to God it is up to him to care
for him.
1T is all right to become humble
in the right way and don't get the big
headed kind A nan must humble
himself in a way that he will be
clansed from his sins. There are many
in this house tonight who would feel
like turning to God if thoy thought
they could live up to what they think
they ought to do. We must be cleansed.
When l was living my old life it was
on whisky and l had to be cleansed
from that.
I'VE must build up good characters
and L don't take chances on character
that can't be lived at home. Some
women call it nervousness when they
go home and throw the cat out of the
window.
'Yon can grieve the Holy Spirit by
some little mean trick. You cannot
tell low down stories and convert peo-
pie in this way. There are some mean
things in the churches worse than the
theaters.
IF 1 find man is not getting on
right l try to get him to go the right
way. If man has stolen money he
must confess and pay it back before he
can live right"
After the meeting an altar service
was held, during which many people
went forward for prayers. The meet
ing was one of the most successful ever
held in Los Angeles.

FIRE LIEUTENANTS MUST
PROBATE" TWO YEARS

Firemen who aspire to be lieutenants
must hereafter serve two years proba-
tlon instead Of six months.
In making this ruling the civil service
commission yesterday took the advice
of Chief Lips. The chief stated that
sometimes men were sent to an outly-
ing station for service and in six
months saw no active service except at
n half dozen fires. This hardly quail
fled them for expert service as lieuten-
ants and n longer period was deemed
absolutely necessary.
The argument appealed to the COM
missioners as sound and was adopted.

SHIFT OLD CASE
TO Mr.. HEWITT
CIVIL SERVICE BOARD TIRES OF
CONTROVERSY
Desk Sergeant Tyler, Whom Snyder
Police Board Derated, wiz
Withdraw Salary Suit
II Relnstated

1t is up to the city attorney now to
say whether ]. w. Tyler, former desk
sergeant at police headquarters, who
was derated by the Snyder board, shall
be reinstated permanently as sergeant
or remain patrolman, which job he Is
filling now.
The civil service commission yester-
day voted for reinstatement to his old
place, subject to recommendation of
the city attorney as to legality of ac-
ton.
Tyler's case is the heirloom of a
previous administration. One of the
first matters that came before DIR.
Edelman when he again took office as
civil service commissioner this month
was the Tyler case.
"This matter still unsettled?" said he
in surprise why, we had this up
two years ago."
Tyler has already lost nine months
pay as patrolman because of the mix
up though since his deratement in
September, 1904, has attended to pa
trolman's duties efficiently, earning the
regard Of the commissioners and his
superiors in the department. In fact,
the commissioners yesterday thanked
him for his patience in the present
controversy.
Tyler. merely to preserve a legal
standing, nad nled a suit for back
salary, but he announced yesterday he
would withdraw this as soon as the
board took favorable action.
The city attorneys office has been
between two fires on the question.
With suit pending against the city
1t was necessary to oppose uch an ac-
tion, AS advisor to the board 1t would
be prejudiclal to declare in Tylers
favor on the salary question, yet the
board felt that an injustice had been
done to Tyler in deratiEg him.
Deputy City Attorney Wilson yes
terday declined to give an opinion to
the board in the absence Of Mr.. Hew-
lit.
Tyler left the board room apparently
satisfied with the resolution to put the
decision up to Mr.. Hewitt 1t is under
stood he viii accept nine months pay
as patrolman in full settlement Of all
claims.
