sportsmanlike spirit that so character

doubtedly overconhdent and it cost

would have returned many of Ala

cradle unnecessary running and won
Right End Meeker was certainly
Lick's star; he nailed his man every
time and often threw his opponents
back for a loss. On every punt he
variably get his man. He is a good,
heady player and reminds me a great
deal of Dow. Oakland's remarkable end.
Fullback Whitmeyer was also a great
man did much for his team. Gregory
Padilla made the longest run of the
day, covering something over 40 yards,
and had he not turned to look back
might have made a clear run to a
touchdown.
Captain Charley Kiser was the whole
Alameda team and made more yards
was seldom that he failed to make his
length. Graft also put up a good
game. Dan Bronson, who played lnoal
of the game at center. after being out
of the game most of the season, made a
fine showing and did some good
tackling.. Brush played his usual heady
game. Alameda made most of its gains

NO EXPLANATION. YET.

I Four weeks ago we announced the
| dismissal of Ruick and Rounds as
| United tSates Attorney and U. S.
Marshal for Idaho, and the filling of
their places by appointment. and
stated that G. r. Hansbrough of
Blackfoot had been promised the po-
sition of United tSates Attorney
though Attorney I.ingenfelter had
been appointed.
We expected that some explanation
of this matter would be made, and
hoped that the explanation would be
satisfactory and would reflect credit
on our representatives in the United
States senate. A week later we gave
a lengthy review of the matter and
stated that no charges had been pre-
ferred against Marshal Rounds, nor
any excuse given for his dismissal.
He was simply dismissed. No ex-
cuse had been given for not having
Mr.. Hansbrough appointed to fill the
place of Mr.. Ruick. No excuse had
been given for not Diminishing Mr..
Ruick two years ago instead of at
this time. as the same charge was
brought against him at that time.
We interviewed Mr.. Hansbrough
and he said simply that Senator Bor-
all and Senator Hepburn had prom
Used him the position of United States
Attorney when there was vacancy,
that a vacancy had occurred. another
man had been given the place and no
explanation had come to him from
either of the senator's as to why he
had been disappointed. He felt that
an explanation was due him, that 1t
must be on the way, that 1t was pre-
posterous that he should be ignored
altogether. and expressed the hope
that when he was apprised of the
whole situation he would find reason
to accept 1t in good part.
Three weeks have passed and we
learn that the only explanation that
has been made was Senator Hey
burns statement in the Statesman
that he did not care to discuss the
matter, that when his colleague
(Borah) asked for certain arrange
ments. dismissals and appointments,
1t was his place to adjust himself to
such wishes, and he expected the
same. courtesies In return.

who try to do anything in. addition
to their household work, and yet
he loves and respects his wife and
mother.
+ In the, last meeting of the Press
club he gave an affront to woman
hood, and twenty men and women in
the meeting sprang to their feet and
Kissed him. In his speech at the
banquet the next night he took oc-
casion TO leave his sdbject and throw
lot of "sop" to the Mormons for
he was in a solid Mormon town and
was their guest that evening. He
also scored Fred T. Dubois and said
he was beneath the notice of any
man. But as soon as he arose from
the table one of the leading Mormons
in the town took him out in the hall
and gave him calling down for what
he had just said. Told him that he
did not appreciate the sop" in his
speech, and that he was out of place
in bringing Dubois into the talk in
any way.
Apparently Mr.. Talbot seeks no.
toriety and the opportunity for sensa-
! tons, but if we must credit him with
sincerity, that raises the matter of
consistency
