THE GREATEST DANGER.

According to Mr. Carnegie, the very
gravest of the dangers that beset
young men who aim at success in
business is the habit of Intoxicating
liquors He says in his book, 1.-THE
Empire of Business"
"The first and most seductive peril,
and the destroyer of most young men,
is the drinking of liquor. / am no
temperance lecturer in disguise, but
man who knows and tells you what
observation has proved to him; and ]
say to you.that you are more likely
to fail in your career from acquiring
the habit of drinking LIQUOR than
f. ON any or all of the other tempta-
tions likely to assail you. You may
yield to almost any other temptation,
and reform-may brace up, and, if not
recover lost ground, at least remain
in the race, and secure and maintain
a respectable position. But from the
insane thirst for liquor escape is al
most impossible. / have known bat
few exceptions to this rule

This is indeed busy age, remorse-
less in it's inceSSant calls upon even
our leisure hours. The art of making
haste slowly has been lost in the bust
ling turmoil, and nothing equivalent
has been gained. Still, we may, if we
wish-the busiest of us-make for
ourselves tiny GASES in the desert of
labor green resting places where we
may drink of the waters of refresh
ment.

we believe, for the lack Of interest in
education. This greed is found in
the youth Of today, as we'll as in the
parent. Both parent and child seem
to lose sight of the fact that the boy
who starts out In life with meagre
education will never be able to IN
crease his ability for earning money
that is the boy, without an educa-
ton, who begins life at manual
labor at 81 or $3.50 day will be
forced to continue that line of work
and when he is so years Of age be
will still be earning the same wages.
1t is true there are exceptions to this
rule but they are few and far be-
tween. 1t is also true that there
are not high-salaried positions for
every young man. but with each
succeeding year opportunities are
increasing for the man who has a
good educatlon--not necessarily a
college education, but at. least a
high school education. There is
scarcely vocation today but what
requires higher standard Of educa-
ton for those engaged IN it, than
was required twenty years ago. The
boy who has any metal in him at
all, If given proper education, Will
out-strip the uneducated boy in the
struggle for wealth and social su-
premacy.
That the United States stands to
day supreme among the nations Of
the world is due to the fact thar
education has been the foundation
upon which each one of the state
has builded. Let US not replace
those foundations with ones upol
which are emblazoncd the word
"gold! gold!"

Montpelier, Idaho, March 80, 1907

The Examiner gives notice now
that it will vigorously advocate the
nomination of party tickets for the
city election two years hence. We
were in favor of that policy this
year, but the sentiment among le-
publicans was somewhat divided
and we made no effort to force the
issue. We regret now that we did
not do 1t, not but what good men
have been nominated, but BECAUSE
every move that is made and every
word that is uttered against any one
of the nominees is now considered
as personal matter, and offense is
taken. Then, too, the very object
that was sought to be obtained by
having non-partisan tickets Is likely
to be defeated, and that is the re-
election OF several of the present
councilmen. There is only one
member of the present council now
up for re election, and owing to con
ditlons which would not have pre-
vailed had nominations been made
on party lines, hard fight is going
to be made against his election.
Again, had nominations been made
on party lines, there would now be
two complete tickets in'the field.
Idaho Falls is now in the throes
of the dirtiest municipal campaign
ever conducted in an Idaho town,
and it is being conducted on non.
partisan lines. Vile personal abuse
is being circulated against candi-
dates, and bitter enemies are being
made between those who were good
friends.
Again we say, non-partisan tickets
don't go with US any more IN city
elections.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1907-03-29

didates on 1t for councilmen in the
FIRST ward. This the Examiner re-
grets, for we would like to have seen
two full tickets IN the field. The
people would then have had an In
centiye to go and vote and the men
elected on full vote would know
that they were the choice Of the
majority. The Examiner is not ad.
vocating the election of either ticket
nor Of any particular candidates on
either ticket. We do urge, how
ever, that every voter IN the city
should register and vote, and in
casting their votes they should use
deliberate judgment. The city has
reached that epoch when good busi-
ness sense must be used in the adj
ministration of its affairs. We do
not say that tins has not been done
in the past, but the incoming ad-
miniStration will have questions to
wrestle with that no administration
in the past has ever had, and it will
require care and tact to prevent the
city's little ship Of state from run
ning onto breakers. Vote for those
whom you believe will serve the
city honestly and conscientionsly-
those whom you believe will give
the city and all interests therein "a
square deal" With that class OF
men in charge, the city viii prosper
and progress, and fault. finding will
be reduced to a minimum.

The last session of the Wyoming
legislature took step in the right
direction when it passed a law max
ing 1t compulsory for every child in
the state between the ages of and
Ia years to attend school "for the
first six months during which the
public school of the district, where
the child resides, shall be in session"
Truant officers and penalty for nom
compliance with the law are pro.
vided. In this age of progress and
with splendid public school facilities,
one would hardly think that any
state should find it necessary to have
a compulsory attendance law on it's
statutes, but in spite of all the ad-
yantages that are provided for the
education Of the youth, there Is a
woeful lack of interest taken by
many parents regarding the ednca-
ton of their children. They keep
their children out OF school on the
slis pretext, and some even re.
fuse 10 observe the compulsory law
which, in Idaho, requires that
children shall only attend 10 weeks
during year. The greed for the
almighty dollar is the main cause,

ENTlcEn BY THE BAR.
Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
by the Minister.

Many stories are told OF the &C.
centric doings and sayings of an
old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At one time there
had been fight among some men,
one Of whom was seriously hurt. A
trial took place, and the old minister
who had seen the ARRAY was sum-
moned az witness.
What was Salson doing?" was
the first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around"
well, sir, just what do you mean
by that?"
why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
Now. sir, kindly tell us plain
ly what Salson did to this man."
"Why, he-he enticed him." said
the old minister slowly. HE enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man-to en-
tice him; and, by a series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing it,
said the minister. mildly.

SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION.
Naive Comment Of Debutante, That
Amused Hostess.

A charming hostess of one Of the
"big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty Of premature
white hair That which seems to her
contemporaries an added charm may
appear to the crudely young a mark
of decline, at least so it appears in
one instance of which the hostess her
self tells with enjoyment.
The lady is, eonnoisseur Of an
tiques. At one of her teas debutante
rich with the glow of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense of novelty,
was handed cup of tea; the cup
was beautifully blue and wonderfully
old. The hostess desiring to light
en- the strain on her youthful guest
by pleasant diverting remark, said:
"'hat little cup is q hundred and if
ty years old!"
"Oh," came the debutante's high
strained tones: How careful you
must be to have kept it so long!"
