girls at all hours of the evening, to
get them caught up in studies they
were behind in. He established the
night school and taught it free of
charge for the benefit of adults who
could not go to day school. He built
the gymnasium-with the peoples
money, to be sure--but it took a
great deal of work on his part and
but for him it would not have been
built now, and perhaps never. l
don't know of thing he has done
that was not straight and honorable.
True, he smoked cigarettes, but that
is not a crime. OF course we all re-
gret that he had that habit, but we
can't help it. To me, one, OF the dis
gushing things about society is that
If anybody has weakness and needs
the hand of help and fellowship and
brotherly boost occasionally to
keep him right and in lines Of USE
fulness to himself and society, there
is always somebody ready to knock
him down.
e "Blackfoot has lost big and use
full man, and 1t is my impression that
his leaving was due to unfair treat
ment on the part of individuals, or
treatment at least, that looks wrong
to me-
Mrs. G. w. Bowerman of st. An
thony: "You had good editorial on
DR.. Harrington, and such a broad
view Of the whole matter"
Mrs. Emma Reesor of Idaho Falls:
ut is too bad about DR.. Harrington.
l am very sorry indeed"
Mrs. Neil Boyle, Treasurer of the
V. l. s.: l was very much gratified at
your giving such frank, fair state
ment of the whole matter last week.
l am indeed sorry that DR.. Harring-
ton could not have stayed here until
the end of the year. He accomplish
ed so much, and l believe would
have gone right on with his achieve
ments.

farmer who owed us $3.50 for three
years news service, offered us a dol
lar and acted like he considered
himself doing the part of a prince.
Then he put another dollar with 1t
and said, There, that will fix you
up for WHILE" and his manner was
that of millionaire who had staked
us for enough to carry us through
political campaigne. One dollar
and a quarter would have been worth
as much to us if he had paid It when
due, as the two dollars is worth now,
and this matter of interest or the
use of the money, will always con-
front the publisher, though he may
not be sufficiently awake to SEQ it.

Unfair or Forgetful.

Last week the Idaho Falls Times
published an article stating that 1t
was rumored that DR.. Harrington
had skipped with a few hundred dol
lars of the gymnasium money, and
also called The Republican into ques-
ton as newspaper for not having
made a report on the case.
The report was in course of prep
aration at the time, and was made
so conspicuous when published that
it is hardly possible the Times editor
overlooked it. 1t stated clearly that
the gymnasium accounts were in
tact, and we consider it the fair thing
for paper to correct any wrong con-
illusions 1t has spread, especially
when PERSONS integrity is in the
balance.
This weeks Times contains no
mention of the matter, and its read
ers, therefore, are still under preju-
dice.
Idaho Falls has been accused of
being jealous of Blackfoot's recent
advance in school matters and glad
of her recent troubles, but this is
not true. Individuals may have that
feeling, but her representative people
have not. Blackfoot was much in
need of an advance in her schools,
and has no reason to cease to work.
We think the Times has shown its
hand.

That New Postal Law.

One Of our exchanges Is roasting
the postal department for the postal
ruling that papers will not be car
ried on the usual rates to persons
whose subscription is a year in ar
rears, and says it is none of Uncle
Sans business If publisher wants
to entend credit to customer, as the
publisher has to pay the postage in
advance.
Anybody who has kept in touch
with the vexations at the post Office,
knows that postal employees are al
ways annoyed with notices of re-
fusal of papers not wanted by the
persons addressed, and notice after
notice sent to the publisher Of some
papers receives no attention what
ever. 1t takes up a great deal of
the time of the government employe
to write these notices and record
them and hear the complaints of the
dissatisfied patrons of the post Of
fee. We maintain that 1t is the
duty of the government to take steps
to cut out this nuisance and protect
both post master and the public
from the annoyance and the levy of
extra charges to be placed on the
paper in the form of one cent stamps,
is proper and legitimate means of
bringing them to account.
Our contemporary says Ne has
many men on his list whose account
is as good as gold, but who are Bar
red from his list by the new ruling,
and he loses their business.
The purpose of the new ruling is
not to bar legitimate business, but
to bring publisher and patron to a
settlement or acknowledgment OF
the status of their accounts. If they
will get together and fix tlffs, and |
The patron cannot pay at the time,
ne can give the publisher his note
FOR the amount, and that will con-
,titute settlement and remove the
'quabble at the window OF the pos9-I
office. If the patron will not give
'ome such acknowledgement. as this,
,r If the publisher will not ask for
t or will rct accept it, they probably
would never get together and make
settlement at any other time if n
vas allowed to run longer.
He cites case of man coming in
Ind paying four years subscription
n arrears, whose business he would
rave lost if this ruling had been in
effect three years ago.
He might just about as we'll have
ost it anyhow as to have to wait so

Games for st. Valentines. Day.

A pleasant sort of entertainment
for little folks can be got out of the
following PLAN AS many valentines
as there are children are written and
slipped into tiny envelopes. The
children then choose postman from
their number and b1indfold him.
The postman is given an envelope
and delivers it to any child he can
catch. The one caught In turn be-
comes postman, and the game so pro-
ceeds until all the children have re-
ceived letters. There are many vari-
atoms to the game, such as announc-
ing each post to be from some dis
tant city, as Denver, philadelphia,
Chicago, etc. The mails should be
called quickly and the sport not al
lowed to lag.
Another pleasant little game is
played by concealing a number of
different colored candy hearts about
the room before the little guests ar
rive. Then at signal the hunt be-
gins. A white heart counts one for
the finder, a blue heart two a yeEs
low three, pink four and red fW4
The child who has the greatest num-
Der of points at the end Of the game
may be rewarded with box of can
dy.
Another game quite popular On st.
Valentines day it that of love, with
Dan Cupid as Che chief performer.
But this is played in so many ways
that n is idle to lay down rules here.

he Dead Mother,

ph, do you never hear me when all this
world IL still.
When the mist creeps down the valley
from the purple of the hin,
Do you think tbs but the rose branch
that comes tapping. tapping low
At the door whore moonlight fingers
tracing patterns white as snow?
Do you never hear footstep pressing DER
the stairway head,
BY your door amid the shadows TO the
chldren's trundle bed?
Do you hear them sometimes laughing In
their sleep. as you would say,
All, tbs when they see me coming, and
the parting rolls away.
You may slumber through the still night,
moonlights round me as ! stand
Where my sleeping baby's smiling Az
hold her little hand
Only as the dawn comes softly with the
pattering sound of rain,
Then my heart breaks as l leave them,
ey'ry night l die again.

CURRENT VERSE.



Oh, isn't II unlucky 10 be born a vernaI
bard,
with birds ana bees aud blossoms on
the BRAIN
instead of fancies suited to sugared
Christmas card
Or valentine that sings OF lass and
swain
when the climate leaves no chance for
cen the smallest blossom crop
And the birds in silence SILVER and the
bees have shut up shop;
Fhen the cheerest disposition fears des-
tiny ill-starred
And It's particularly sad to be a vernal
bard.
You're subject to receptions. II you're
born vernal bard
When the radiators hot you gayly
dream
0t May day merrlment. The muse has
caught you off your guard
Your balmy air, alas, is naught but
steam!
And then when duty calls you forth into
the cherries street,
Where you must face the rain and hail
and snow and slush and sleet;
There comes sense of panic and tho
times seem very hard
Especially If you should chance to be
vernal bard!
