PRAISE FOR BRADY

Following is an extract of an ed
itorial from the Pocatello Tribune:
I'm the estimation Of the Tribune
Mr.. Brady is fitted for greater hon
ors than the governOrship of Idaho,
although that is indeed high honor.
In the estimation of the people Of
the Gate City who know him best
and consequently love and admire
him the most, there is no office
within the gift of the republican
party to which Mr.. Brady is not en-
titled and for which he is not fitted.
However, II the people of his
home state and the leaders OF his
party, insist upon his becoming the
republican candidate for governor
there would seem nothing for him
to do but accept it,
The Elk City Mining News makes
the following comment:
THE tribute to Mr.. Brady by his
home paper is we'll and truly said.
Not since the territorial days of
Idaho has one man, alone, rendered
the state such valuable service az
Mr.. Brady did as state chairman for
his party two years ago. Belic' ers
in government and enforcement OF
law in all parties will agree to that.
The honor and integrity CT Idaho
was assailed by people in all parts
of the country and the duty devolved
on Mr.. Brady to have the people OF
Idaho cay by their votes that they
wanted to carry though to a decision
the work that then was SO we'll a.
gun.
It was unfortunate for Mr.. Brady
that the task devolved upon him.
No action similar was required of
any other Idaho man in politics and
Mr.. Brady could not have avoided
it II he would, but the fact that he
did his duty in the open should be
proof that he is worthy to fill any
office to which his constituents
might elect him."

II Is worthy of note that under
Bryan's direction demand is made
that the tariff be reduced to a
revenue basis; in other words, that
the nation be given another dose
Of free trade.

at fault for the cry in favor OF old
age pensions. If labor can have no
show for saving in its working years
It must have state provision for the
later years Of inability to work.

BUSINESS PICKING UP.

Every indication points to an i'm
provement generally in the railroad
and industrial situation of the coun-
try, according to reports made by
the railway systems to the interstate
commerce commission. These re-
ports are to the effect that, While
the railroads suffered to some ex-
tent, by what has come to be refer
red to as the October panic" the
loss was by no means SO serious
as generally has been supposed.
1t appears from the reports that
the effect was felt particularly by
the eastern lines and by the lines IN
the southeastern part of the country,
a few of which were embarrassed not
only by a falling off of revenues. but
by their inability to obtain ready
cash with which to carry on improve
ments which they had begun, while
the western lines and the transcon-
tinental roads have not suffered ma
terially from the financial depres'
sion. The figures available to the
interstate commerce commission In
dictate also that the general condition
in the country is improving mater
tally with a prospect that 1t soon
will be normal or better.
Viewing the country as whole,
from west to east and from north
to south the outlook for railroads,
as shown by their own figures, is not
30 disquieting as has been suppos-
ed; and these figures, it must be re-
membered, include at least two
months after the panic began in New
York, during the greater portion OF
which time banks would not make
loans or discounts and railroads
in many parts Of the country would
not receive checks in payment OF
freight.
There can be no question but that
within the past three weeks there
has been a strong upward tendency
in freight revenues. A greater vol
ume of traffic is moving today than
has been moved at any time during
the past two and perhaps tnree
months. The figures Of the Ameri
can Railway association show ina
there is less surplus of cars at thl'
time than at any period since TN
30th of October. This promises al
early return to more normal condi
lions and railroad men generally ar
more optimistic than they have beel
since the knickerbocker Trust com
pany closed its doors"

AS SEEN BY BRADY

The following interview with
James H. Brady has been given out;
Idaho will 60 strongly for Taft.
In the coming convention | know the
southeast is for Taft and the north
is the same as far as / can see at
present. Republicans are more
strongly organized than ever before.
With Taft and Bryan as candidates
Idaho will give the largest repub-
lican majority in it's history.
From present appearances Dubois
is sure to lose control of the demo-
cratic party. Ada, Boise and Canyon
counties are organizing against him,
and Nez Perez county is taking ac-
ton along similar lines and If the
stalwart democrats succeed in con-
trolling the convention they will of
course eliminate the Mormon ques-
ton from their platform and there
fore it will not be an issue in the
campaign
Let Idaho continue to boost for
Taft and keep its seat right in front
in the band wagon.

!. The Don't Worry Theory.

The usual advice given to the wor
rier is, Don't worry" This advice II
foolish because Impractical. No one
can stop thinking one type Of though;
except by substituting for it another
Besides, it Is dangerous advice, for
even supposing one could mechanical
ly put an end to a worrying state OF
mind, he would simply be like an en-
gineer who should plant himself on the
safety valve Of his engine. The energy
expended in worry, turned inward or
itself, would tear the mental mechan
ism to pieces. No! What the wor
ried man or woman needs evidently
is to be taught how to find a health
full outlet for his or her nervous power
thus going to waste. If we say "Don't
worry" let us also be careful to add
"But work." and let US also point Out
what kind Of work should be under
taken and the spirit In which it ought
to be done- In other words, what the
worrier needs is re-education.-Rev. s

Jefferson Davis, Ambition.

Jefferson Davis was a man OF most
sincere conviction and courageous &C
ton, and when the Southern Confeder
acy was about to be organized his sin
gle ambition was the command Of the
Confederate army. This had from
his own lips at his residence at Beau
voiE, Miss, some fifteen years after
the war. He told me that when be
started for Montgomery, Ala, wher
the movement began for the organi
cation Of the Confederacy he hoped tt
be called to the command Of the army
but before he reached Montgomery hi
was advised of his election as pro
visionary president. When he reached
the new capital of the Confederacy
he found It impossible to change condi
tons, and he was compelled to accep
the presidency, and he entered upo1
that duty as conscientiously as any
public man ever entered upon an Of
fetal career.-Colonel A. K. Mcclure

A COMETS TAIL.
s'he Way This FiImy Dust Train 10

The Way This FiImy Dust Train 10
Tossed About by the Sun.
No bridal veil was ever so filmy as a
comets tail. Hundreds Of cubic miles
of that wonderful appendage are out
weighed by a jarful of air,
By means of the spectroscope we
have magically transported this fairy
plume to our laboratories and have
discovered that it is akin to the blue
fame of our gas stoves; for the gas
BY which we cook and the delicate
tresses Of comet both consist of COM
binations of hydrogen and carbon, APP
propriately called by chemists "hydro-
carbons."
When it first appears in the heavens,
far removed from the sun, a comet is
a tailless blotch Of light.
AS comet swims on toward the
sun the hydrocarbons of the tail split
up under the increasing heat into n.y.
drogen gas and hydrocarbons Of a
higher boiling point. With a still
closer approach to the sun, these more
resistant hydrocarbons eventually yield
to the increasing heat and are decom-
posed in the form of SCOT.
Interplanetary space is airless; hence
the SCOT cannot burn. 1t must pursue
the comet in the form Of dust train.
The particles constituting that train
are small enough to be toyed with by
the pressure Of sunlight.
No matter where the comet may be
in its orbit, whether it has just entered
the solar system or is speeding away,
that plume is inevitably tossed away
from the sun, just as If a mighty wind
! were blowing it from the central slu-
minary..
The appendage of shining dust is the
symbol Of the triumph of light over

legends and Customs of the Natives
II of New Zealand. No. *.
Many traditions Of the Maoris OF
New Zealand indicate true refinement
OF feeling. That OF Niwareka, or Great
Delight, is one Of these and represents
a gentle Maori maiden, beautiful and
modest, who, though deeply loving her
bridegroom, yet shudders at the bar
barity Of his people and at his delight
in bloodshed and cruelty. Unable to
bear the sights and sounds around her,
she passes from his embrace and seeks
the shadows Of another world Only
through great suffering and sacrifice
does her young husband, unable to bear
bis solitary lot, redeem her from the
shades. This beautiful legend isAbound
up with the origin Of the custom Of the
tattoo an ordeal which the lover was
compelled to endure that he might
realize the nature Of suffering.
One Of the finest legends OF old Mao
RI romance relates how a daughter of
the heavens condescends to dwell with
man, but, repelled by his rudeness
and want Of sympathy, ascends again
to the skies, carrying with her her
earth born child. Her husband is only
able to reach her and regain her love
by climbing upward, not by earthly
tendrils, but by those which, descend
ing from the heavens, have taken root
in earth"
One curious feature Of the domestic
life of the New Zealand natives Is that
the old Women are led to believe that
the highest honor they can enjoy is to
be permitted TO do all the cooking and
prepare the food. A, great deal Of Ia
Dor Is thus left to them, which they
cheerfully perform, resenting any In
reference on the part Of the younger
Maori women, who thus have plenty OF
leisure for ehjoyment:- Chicago News

THE MEEK MULE.
Dur Four Legged sonsster That Wears
Wings on Its Hesc.

Dur Four Legged Songster That Wears
Wings on It's Head.
AS Bill, the desert evangelist, once
said. the mule is the only bird that
has a thing to kick with and wears its
wings on the side OF it's head. Bill got
religion after he quit driving mules or
else he quit driving mules when he got
religion. Anyway, he knew what he
was talking about.
The theory of evolution teaches us
that the jackass is an incorporated
edition Of the Jack rabbit, bound in
leather and complete in one volume.
Both have the same characteristic hind
leg motion, but with the difference
that the rabbit thereby propels itself,
whereas the mule propels others. The
latter end Of the mule is hinged and
has hair trigger arrangement and Is
as prone to accidental discharge as
powder mill is to fly upward. There
fore it comes in military matters be-
cause Of the omnipresence Of the ar
my mule with its peculiar way Of
making itself felt that the rear is the
place of danger.
A most notable accessory Of the beast
is the strident and raucous vocal at
tachment situated up front. No means
have as yet been discovered by which
this mechanism can be fabricated, and
the melody is a sort Of cross between
our neighbours monograph and the
whistle Of the pancake factory across
the river. 1t is mostly nocturnal in
Its manifestation. It Is curious fact
that this apparatus is controlled from
the rear, for to uncork the music the
beast has merely to extend itsScaudal
appendage into a horizontal position.
1t is said by certain rash individuals
who lean toward osteopathy that this
vocal exercise may be suspended by
hanging the monkey wrench to the
safety value. But I do not consider
this healthy amusement and am in
clined toward absent treatment.
Although the latter end Of the beast
Is loosely hung and the former adds
insult to injury, yet, interesting as
are both these phenomena, the super
lative characteristic Of the creature is
Its expression Of countenance. That
long ascetic physiognomy bounded by
those hopeless ears and quivering lips
seems infinitely sad and yearning,

What the Man Of Science Has to Say
,@s About Its Wonders. v
The jolly Jovians are said to be real
tiles and not myths. Not only are
there said to be inhabitants on Jupiter,
but also on some of his moons, in the
midst Of which the vast planet, 1900
times the size Of the earth, spins at
such tremendous speed that it causes
around the equator a furious wind that
blows perpetually at the rate Of $50
miles an hour. Those who believe in
the Jovian say that his height runs
from fifty to flftycfive feet and that
he exists FOE about 300 to 1000 Of
earth years. The Jupiter year, how
ever, consists Of LA months. The
oceans Of Jupiter. torn into fury by the
hurricanes, would pay no attention to
one moon such as moves the tides Of
our earth, and it takes no fewer than
FIVE of these satellites to perform this
work for Jupiter. They travel at va
rious rates Of speed, some flying close
to Jupiter's surface, others far OF.
They have atmospheres like ours on
earth, and a moonlight on Jupiter is
indeed a glorious sight, for these
moons have a variety or color; two are
blue, one Is yellow, and one red. Jupi-
ter needs all her moons at night for
Elimination, for without them her FIVE
hours Of darkness would be black in
deed. So distant is the sun that broad
daylight is hardly brighter than twi-
light on earth, and one lone moon
would not reflect enough Of the SUMS
rays to, guide the Jovian footsteps. :
