Her Ruling Spirit.

From the New York Times
A Massachusetts, man tells a story illus
trating the ruling spirit of a Yankee
housewife,
Late one night her husband was awak-
ened by mysterious sounds on the lower
floor of their house. Jumping out OF bed,
the husband took his revolver from q
drawer and crept noiselessly 10 the head
of the stairs Presently the wife herself
was awakened by q loud report followed
by a mad scurryirg of feet. Much agitat-
ed. she in turn sprang from bed and went
10 the door where she met her husband
returning from the scene OF the disturb
.aEce, and wearing a very disappointed ex-
preston.
Richard" she stammered, was it
was it"
Yes. it was a burglar"
Did he-did he"
Yes, he got away"
"Oh. don't care about that" was the
wife's reioinder. What I want 10 know
is, did he wipe his feet before he started
Upstairs?"

The Countess of Ynrmouth.

In this connection it is interesting to
recall the romance Of the Countess Of
Yarmouth, the sister of Harry Tnaw,
whose marriage placed her in the first
rank of British aristocracy. 1t took
place April 2. 1903. and is still fresh in

The Tribune Is convinced that It IL
better to have such persons segre-
gated from the public generally,
rather than scattered throughout the
city We cannot see any particular
difference morally between the old
bat and the dainty tid-bit.' We
cannot see any particular virtue In
the advertisement of one over the
other. The one filings out her red
light and those who run may read.
The other advertisement is a little
less public but just as forceful. 1t
is subtle and insidious. but equally
strong. There Is no difference worth
mentioning. The people should watch
Pocatello carefully, and II good Is
accomplished. all cities should fol-
low suit. We hope that Attorney
Gray may clear up Pocatello. 1t

efforts to secure new corners, every
sort of claim and promise 10 held
out. We read. not long since. In an
article on the Boise Valley. that the
average crop Of alfalfa In this sec
ton was or 10 tons to the acre;
that the average yield of sugar beets
was 10 tons: that wheat averaged
40 bushels to the acre: and that all
other things were in the same proper
ton. The claim was put forth that
the weak and down trodden, the
lame and the halt. could ind their
golden opportunity in Canyon Coun-
ty. A special plea was made to the
distressed to leave the stricken east
and come to Idaho. Idaho Offers un-
told opportunities to men with capt.
tai. energy. Industry and frugality.
A man possessing any of these quail
ties will receive a large return ON
his Investment, whether he invests
brains and energy or capital. That
Ia all the State should claim. It must
be remembered that Idaho ia a new
country. her resources are not de-
veloped. It will take capital and Ia
Dor, brains and energy, dlEermina-
ton and fore sight to develop the
State. It IL men of that character
that we want. The shiftless and
the impotent have no more business
in Idaho than they have In Chicago.
It Ia almost criminal to hold out the
promise of large returns for little
efforts. The siren song of the boom
er has lured many poor family to
disaster. It IL true that organizations
whose purpose IL to attract investiga-
tors and develope the resources
should tell the simple truth. Idaho's
resources. when truthfully described
are eloquent enough They will at
tract the right kind OF people. No
effort should be made to attract the

use the weak. This II q country
where giant undertakings are ON foot

been brought about because the din

cannot be otherwise. Man cannot
serve two masters. and In attempting
to do so bring shame upon
himself, disaster to his cause.
and disgrace to those he
would benefit. II the American peo-
Pile could but experience q few years
OF tyranny now and again. It would
dc them incalculable good. We have
enjoyed so muchsprosperity, 30 much

that we have ceased to appreciate our
blessings. We have taken things az,

longer do we guard our rights and
privileges. Under beneficient gov
eminent we have become 30 engrossed
In the pursuit of material advantages

political mollycoddles. It cannot be
denied that the business men do not
take that interest In the political af-
fairs of their country, which a. pa
triota they should. Like US, the fear
OF offending their patrons make cow
ards OF them all. Mammon ia the big
gest coward that ever lived, and we
all worship at his shrine. The result

obliteration Of convictions; indifer-
ence to results; treachery to country:,
and subjugation of individually.
THIS must be changed or the govern
ment founded upon liberty. equality
and justice to all; administered by the
people, cannot live. A much more Sc
rious condition confronts the United
States today than did 46 years ago.
And IL Is In the people themselves.
They must do their duty by their

country in studying and participant
