The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-02-14

tie name Of every man in Salmon to
agree to devote one certain day to
this work. We believe it would re-
sult In making the city look so clean
and take on such an air OF prosperity
that every visitor would comment
noon the taste and orderly intelli-
gene of our people. Let Us try 1t
once lust for an experiment. Let US
have one day Of the year which will
be known in the future as Cleaning
Day"
When In a soIiloquizing or thought
iul mood we cannot help but think
how different states distribute their
distinctions of honor 10 their Official
life. For instance, In Idabo pro-
bate Judge is several degrees removed
from the position Of common JUS
tice of the peace, yet when he once
has held this position he Is entitled
to all the rights and privileges Of be-
I'm called Judge for the rest Of his
DAYS. In Utah and Colorado the cit.
lien does not necessarily have to each
such distinction. He may be an
ordinary justice of the peace, and he
can retain the dignity without being
amerable to the law for usuping the
dignity Of the supreme bench. The
story Is told of man down In Utah
J who was elected to this position who
: desired to take the cath Of Off1ice and
, went to a notary public for that pur-
! pose, stating that he wished to be
made justice of the pecae. It is
said that ne received the reply 81
b can swear you in, but God Almighty
3 will have to make you Justice.
e A newl, elected justice in Colorado
: felt that he was not qualified to act
r In that capacity without more knowl-
: edge. For month he haunted the
/. court house each day and took obser-
a vations. Finally.he sat in judgment
!, on his first case, and when the argu-
d ment was all in, he said, 1.-THE court
: takes this case under advisement un-
j. til next Wednesday morning, when 1t
d will render verdict in favor Of the
e defendent''. These illustrations
e might lead us to conclude that elect
a i've positions do not always lend dig
y nifty to the incumbent.
