sTATING HIsToRIcAL rAoTs.


IL Is probably true that were it not
that the speaker Of the alleged structures
is candidate for high public Office, the
bald statement BY Secretary Of War
Taft about President Grant last Satur-
day would be passed with scarcely a
notice. But since Taft il a candidate, be
is taking the criticism which goes with
all candidates. Nevertheless, it is quite
generally admitted that the words which
raised the rumpus are historically accu-
rate. What he did say was that Grant
was addicted to drink to a considerable
extent, but that be in later life conquered
the habit largely. Taft was enaeavoring
to draw correct picture Of Grant.
during his Memorial day speech, and he
alluded to that victory over self as one
Of the features Of the life Of the great
general. After the first shock Of the
statement is over, people viii realize
that 1t is better to present a great
national figure in his real light rather
than in the habiliments Of deiiied per-
sonage, which he wasn't, in spite Of
the drop in hero worship which may fol.
low. Better to give posterity the real
man rather than the misleading picture
Of saint in worldly living, to come
up and mock Us at some future time.

To License EmbalmerS.

Among the many other petitions
that will be presented to the COM
Jog legislature will be one asking
for the appointment of commits
sion empowered to license en-
balmers, and funeral directors in
Idaho 1t is proposed that the
commission consist of one physi-
clan and several undertakers.
Idaho has never had a law of this
kind and as result bodies to be
shipped from this state to another
will not be accepted for transpor-
tation by the railroad company
until passed upon and pronounced
in proper condition by an under
taker Of a state requiring license.
Outside of Idaho there are but two
other states in the union that do
not have such a law on their statute
books and it would seem the en-
actnent of such a measure by this
state would be a most beneficial
step in the direction Of progress.

Building Highways.

If there is one thing that Idaho
county is especially short on it is
good roads. Two meetings held
in entirely different parts of the
county last week at which the
object was the betterment of roads.
The business men of Sites and the
farmers of the vicinity of Battle
Ridge held meeting at that city
last Wednesday and talked over
the mprovement of roads in that
section. A list was circulated
and signed for the amount of ST.
600 to be used on the improvement
Of roads down there.
A week ago the people Of Dou-
meeq Plains met with the business
men of Whitebird and over S4OC
was subscribed at this meeting for
the building Of wagon road to the

spent in the construction of public
highways and business men and
