have we felt influenced to accept the
frothings of the would-be reformer
seriously or otherwise, but, have
rather passed it off as matter
unworthy of recognition or even
contempt. Despite this fact we
have been urged by our friends at
various times to make some anwscr
to the contemplate ISLANDERS OF the
aforesaid reformer serving out his
black mailing dope at so much per
issue with the accompanying plea:
''Come up, gentlemen, according

mote this great fight for home,

Bah, Culver; wake upi
''The world do move. -
Several weeks ago you were Bit
terly denounced oy all the people
and at various times since individ-
uals have cndeavored to show you
the error of your ways in language
sufficiently strong for even your
comprehension.
How long do you expect pa
tient and long suffering public to
sit peacefully by while you poison
the pure Idaho atmosphere with
your brain-storm and frenzies?
Come out, in ell decency, in your
next paper and tell us who you are
trying to assist. The Commercial
Club, comprising Mountain Homes
representative business men and
residents will have none of you,
your own mass meeting has de-
nounced you and several leading bus
mess men have ordered you from
their places of business. Tell us
whose interests you are serving.
1t pleases us to know that we are
recognized as the friend and sup
porter Of the Great Western Beet
Sugar Company-it gives us great
cr pleasure to know that we repre-
sent and are permitted to work for
the best interests of Mountain
Home, it's Commercial club and its
great mass of progressive, intelli-
gent citizens, but best of all, when
we look into the clear, ethereal
depths of bright April morning
sky when we listen to the birds,
will with joy, greeted by the early
morning sunshine, it makes our
heart thrill with gladness that we
are permitted to be respected citi-
zen OF Mountain Home, Elmore
county and the great state of Idaho,
ever working for her better and
more glorious interests.
Your insinuations and contempt
ible slurs on this paper in the past
have gone unheeded. We have
abided in the better policy that ISL
lence is Contempt" and have passed
you unnoticed. Your statements
regarding Mr.. CARROTS connection
with Maverick are as unreliable
and irresponsible as the remainder
of the slush you serve up from time
to time. True, Mr. Garrett is in
tecsted in this company, he is also
interested in the Electric Light
Plant, the Fair Grounds and var
ious other projects about town, but
these propositions to Mountain
Home and Gilmore county? The
Maverick is edited and managed
by the undersigned who is possibly
the heaviest owner in the Maverick
printing plant and the utterances
of Maverick are controlled by its
editor at all times unless it is a
communicated for publication
plainly signed by the author. This
should be stuff icient explanation to
the public as to Dur position first,
last and all of the time.
We beg the indulgence of our
readers in giving space to the FORE
going. We offer apologies to the
prominence we have given to one
who has SO justly merited your
contempt. We trust from the fore
going you will appreciate our posi-
ton and realize why we desire to
remain silent rather than lower
ourselves to such filth as Culver
has been grovelirg in for The pas,

Disease Cured by Cuticura.

Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead OF
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall of.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was FIVE months old,
then l had her under our family doc

worse. He said IL was eczema When
she was seven months old / started
