as a member of the firm, he never
received any share of the $500
which Mr.. Cathcart admits that
he collected from W. r. Castle,

says further that he never knew
that Cathcart had collected this

Died.

Death, always sad, has its degree of
sorrow; has its circumstances that
make it sometimes doubly hard to
bear. This week it is our painful duty
to announce death of more than
usual sadness. 1t is the sudden pass
ing away Of Harley Gritman, the only
boy of the Roberts family, son of D.
c. and Bessie Helm OF American
Ridge. At his death he was 9 months
and Is days old, being born Sept. IL,
1907. He was a strong, healthy
child, bright and sweet, and was in
Troy the Fourth. Monday he was
taken suddenly i'll, passing away Tues
day, July 7, Of peritonitis OF stomach
and bowels. Tender hands laid him
away in Bethel cemetery on American
ridge Wednesday, Rev. Lloyd Of Spo-
kane officiating.
To the heartbroken family words of
sympathy over their great sorrow can
compensate but little, but that little is
freely given by the many friends Of
this section.
Longfellow has said:
There is no death What seems so 10
transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal We call death.'
Time will heal the wounded hearts.
but it can never make US forget little
bud that comes into a home to bless
and brighten it, even for day, to
pass away into the great beyond where
Hope and Faith paint pictures fairer
than the hand Of mortal ever sketched
on canvass for the sight Of men. AS
long as there is life there will be
death, for all that's born must die, and
pass away. However hard it is TO give
our loved ones up let US remember
that whene'er the summons comes we
must obey. With tear-dimmed ewes
and overwhelming grief the darkest
clouds Of sorrow and distress are pene-
trated by the hope that that which we
call death is but the morning of eternal
day.

The News has no faith in the decla-
ration that the future growth and pros
perity Of Troy depends upon the ex-
istence of saloons. We do not believe
that Troy will die, nor that real estate
values will drop. Troy's business comes
from natural resources dependent in no
way upon the saloons. The town is
dependent upon its wood and timber,
its fruits, vegetables, and farm products
for its business. Cut off any of these
and Troy will feel the effect in every
line Of business. But we are not OF
those who believe the closing Of sa-
looms will diminish legitimate business
to the amount of anything. p

BRADY WILL NOT DO.

There seems to be those who i'm
agine the republican party can just
win in spite of their record. Brady
will 60 over the state and go through
sort OF sham battle, in which he will
declare for everything in the last re-
publican platform. He will pose as
the only simon pure apostle of pure
politics and decent government in the
entire state, and expect that this sort
of CUFF will be swallowed whole by a
simple and confding public. But,
Mr.. Brady can never satisfactorily ex-
plain why the republican party repudi-
ated its last platform. He cannot ex-
plain why the six Mormon counties,
the ones that have, long before the
conventions, pledged him their solid
support OF 121 votes, and made his
nomination certain, selected him as
the man OF their choice. 1t is not
Brady that the republicans of Idaho are
fighting. 1t is the republican machine,
which is but another name for Mormon
influence and Mormon dictation in this
state. 1t is that influence that, being
elected on a specified platform, brazen-
ly repudiated it, and then comes back
and asks the people, whom they have
betrayed, the republicans whom they
have disgraced, to support for the next
governor of Idaho the man whom they
see fit to select. This man happens to
be Harmony Jim Brady. But it makes
no difference to the Troy News whom
these regulators might select. We
will not support him. We want moth
ing to do with any man selected by
this bunch of republican liars and plat
form regulators. The fact that the
gang wants Brady is sufficient reason
why the people don't want him. He
may be good man, but he is trotted
out by the wrong gang.

because of our ability to kick or to
bray the editor neglects to say, but in

The Bull Pioneer says: Comment
ing editorially on statement made by
the Boise Citizen to the effect that
the Mormon church favored the nomi-
nation of James H. Brady for Governor
Of Idaho, and the Republicans of
Idaho are powerless to prevent that
nomination, the Idaho Falls Register
says that the Citizen lied, and did so
knowingly. Whether the Mormon
church dictated the selection of Mr..
Brady or not, the Pioneer would not
venture to state, but it is mighty sus-
picious that the so-called church" is
not opposed to Mr.. Brady, and there
is a very strong belief among large
number OF Republicans of Idaho that
the polygamous bunch at Salt Lake
City can get about anything they want
from the present Republican leaders Of
Idaho. The Pioneer believes it is
making a conservative estimate when
it says that there are at least 500-and
possibly 1000-Repubiicans on the
Twin Falls tract who will register a
protest against this foreign and treason
able influence in the political affairs Of
Idaho the coming November. We
would suggest that our esteemed con-
temporary Of Idaho Falls use little
more discretion in handing the lie
about until after the votes are counted.

Eating without appetite is criminal.
You are committing a crime against
your stomach. You are compelling
this organ to work and it has neither
the desire nor the need OF work.
Wait for an appetite. Do not use
your stomach as a general convenience
for dumping everything that may mo-
mentarily please your appetite. Have
some respect for your stomach, and it
will have some respect for you. Treat
it as though you expected it to do
good work, and il will reward you a
thousandfold. Many individuals treat
their stomach as though it was a gar
bage can. Every conceivable mixture
that the human mind can possibly
concoct is dumped into the human
stomach. Take the average course
dinner, for instance; combine all the
various mixtures that are eaten at a
meal OF this kind, and take glance at
the mess. Could you imagine a
human stomach satisfactorily digesting
such abominable stuff, and al the end,

 but her papa and mamma called her = Paulie for short. And Paulie was sometimes a very naughty little maid, doing things she should not have done. For instance, when her cousin Oracle came to spend the day with her she usually brought about a scene by denying Oracle the privilege of playing with her best doll And this was very wrong, in- deed. for Oracle would have handled the best doll with the greatest care. even more carefully than did Paulie herself. And Paulle would also laugh at Gracie's toys. which were not so nice as her own, for, whereas Oracle had several brothers and sisters to share the playthings at her own home, PauIie was the little queen of her parents house, being the only child. And her toys were numerous and costly.

 Within half an hour the company of searehers had gathered at the top of the icy slide where Lghtfoot Bruno-for 1t was he-was still making slow work of getting up the steep incline. for no sooner would he reach q certain place than he would immediately slip back to the very bottom of the slope again.
 "Helgho. there, Lightfoot," cried one of the wise fathers of Bear City. What sort of antics do you call those you are now engaged in? And why have you left your happy home to come away off here in the frozen mountainside to climb up and slip down this icy slope? Come. give an account of yourself, for your poor mother Is all but distracted over your un- accountable disappearance"

"One at a time on this icy preci- pice is sufficient. Now we are a dozen strong.

But those at the top have been duly warned by your experience, and will remain there to carry out any instruction I may give them. Now I want them to procure grapevines and tie them together. When they have a chain of them long enough to reach us, one at a time can be drawn to the top Do you comprehend my plan?''
 We do.'' said several of the wise Fathers of Bear City. And we agree that it seems the only plausible one too. So. do not delay in calling out your in- structions to those at the top. for it's not very comfortable sitting here on the frozen side of a mountain that is so steep it makes your head spin to peep up or down" Thus added the wisest of the wise of Bear City.
