HUGHES AND HIS ENEMIES.
The People Want the Man Who
Makes That Kind of Enemies.

Governor Hughes has not said, as
some of his critics pretend, that all
against him are crooks; he has said
that all the crooks are against him.
II this statement were false, 1t could
easily be proven untrue by naming
crooks who are for Hughes, and are
willing to give reasons for support
ing him.
The well-known fact is, however,
that Governor Hughes is telling the
truth. He is opposed by every thief
and every near-thief in Now York;
by every gambler, every bunco-
steerer and swindling bookmaker,
who have seen their usual prey
snatched from their clutches by
Hughes. They all hate him, and
they all want him defeated, and they
are all going to be disappointed on
the night of November 3.
A large majority of the people of
New York believe in decent amuse-
ments and wholesome recreation. but
they are not prepared to admit that
the bookmaker and bunco-steerer,
the racing tout and the poolroom-
keeper represent that class of amuse-
ments, or that their disappointment
In being interfered with in their out
lawed occupations merits the SYM
pathy OF citizens who live moral and
respectable lives.
The opponents Of Governor Hughes
are making a big noise-some of
them have practice of doing that
but while they are shouting the law
abiding citizen Is thinking, and the
more he cloves him for the enc
niles he has made" and the more
determined he is to help in re-elect-
ing him. November Sd will prove
that New York is not ready to sur
render to the crooks and grafters
who are moving every sinister force
at their command to defeat the Off
cial who has done his duty.

Some New York Democrats profess
to be disappointed because all the re.
forms advocated by Governor Hughes
nave not been carried out. Their
lack OF the sense of humor Is really
distressing. u. ~.

shut them out at the polls Was man
ifestly unfair. unconstitutional and
should be vigorously resisted on the
spot. One of his favorite expressions
was, THAT is carrying things too for.
There is decency In all things"
That is just what the dynamiters
were saying, that Idaho was carrying
things too far-that there should be
decency in all things; but in this
case Gooding thought it was emf
nenty proper to let the courts settle
all matters of dispute or doubt, rath-
err than resort to violence.

March 5.-Girl of the Streets.
March 9.-Millionaire Tramp.
A Feast of Music.

The music lovers who gathered at
the Armory Tuesday evening to hear
the Riedelsberger concert were given
such treat as has never before been
offered in Blackfoot.
3 After a few Introductory remarks
the sweet strains of Prof. Riedels-
berger's violin floated out to the
audience, and from that time until
the last number on the program had
been rendered those present forgot
business worrys and personal
troubles in thorough enjoyment of
the good things offered.
The program was varied one; in
Guiding everything from the light and
airy compositions to the deep, soul
stirring airs that cause one to hold
his breath in wonder at the posi-
bilities of the musical art Past
master of the violin the performer
swayed his audience at will; one
moment causing smiles to fit across
the countenances of his hearers and
the next instant bringing tears to the
eyes of the more emotional ones; and
this power of reaching the innermost
feelings of the human heart speaks
higher of the musicians ability than
any words of eulogy which we could
pen.
The violin numbers were inter
spersed with soprano solos by Miss
Scharfenberger and skillful rendi-
tons of choice selections from Cho-
pin and Mcdowell by Mrs. D. v.
Archbold.
OF Mrs. Archbold's ability as a
musician it is unnecessary to speak,
as the majority of her audience has
been charmed time and time again
by her performances. She is a
musician of whom any city might
we'll be proud, and Blackfoot is for
tunate indeed in having daughter
who is making such a wonderful sue
cess in her chosen profession.
Miss Elsa Scharfenberger has a
clear soprona voice of bell-like tones,
taking the higher notes with wonder
full ease and reaching the lower
tones with a clearness that is rare
in soprano voice Her performance
showed careful training and much
conscientious work to reach the state
of excellence which she has attained.
1t would be useless to comment on
the separate numbers of the program,
as the selections were of a range to
suit the different fancies of those pre-
sent.

MADE A STATE ORGAN.

Page two of this paper Is edited
by Mrs. Byrd Trego for the women
of Idaho, and that page has come to
be known as Echoes" 1t was start
ed as an experiment and was made
the official organ of the First Dist
riot of Idaho. With this issue comes
the announcement of it's being made
the state organ, and through it will
be handled much of what has here
tofore been done in the Federation
Bulletin at Boston.
The women are working in this
matter of operating through the Fed
Grafton of Women's Club, and while
they do not represent great numbers,
we believe they represent the most
active and thoughtful women of Ida
no who are taking an interest in state
civic affairs.

Died Regretted by None.

In the village cemetery at Fulton
vile, N. Y, may be found the follow
ing curious epitaph
A. B. Finehout here he lies;
! Nobody mourns, nobody cries;
Where he has gone and how he
fares
Nobody knows, nobody cares.
Here he lies, let him lie still,
A. B. Finehout of Fultonville.
This resembles an epitaph | read
several years ago, visited and old
churchyard at Ellington near Lean
ington, England, on the tombstone OF
William Treen, notorious miser who
lived miserably by begging potato peel
ings from farm houses around and
occupied howell on the banks of the
canal. When he died it was found
that he had several thousand pounds
laid away, which he had amassed,
penny by penny, during many years,
and as no heirs appeared to claim it,
the money was paid to the poor fund
of the parish. His epitaph reads:
In memory of William A. Treen,
Who died Febr'y Sd, 1910,
Aged II years.
81 poorly lived and poorly Dy'd,
Poorly buried and no one Cry'd.'
The sexton, who has been serving
in that capacity for more than fifty
years, says that his father, who was
sexton before him, buried old Billy
Treen, and many time told of his
peculiarities and the amazement OF
the public when his savings were dis
covered by the men who cleaned out
the cabin. The curate of the parish
wrote the epitaph, which everybody
considered exceedingly appropriate.
1t was the second attempt, however.
The first was:
Here lies the body of old Bill Treen,
The meanest miser that ever was
seen.
Where he's gone or how he fares
Nobody knows and nobody cares.
The vicar, however, thought this
was a little too severe, and the curate
produced a milder expression of pub
lie sentiment. which was finally carv-
ed upon his tombstone.

In municipal politics we are looking
to publicity of the acts of a few re-
spOnsible individuals as to the remedy
for the dim and divided responsibility
of obscure committees.
In the conduct OF public service and
uuasi-pubic service, corporations
which control with monopolys grip
public necessities, we must have
for the protection alike of investor and
consumer publicity and responsibility
to some such body as the Public Ser
vice Commission of New York-clothed
with authority to examine into the
general condition, capitalization fran
chise and management and to examine
all books, contracts and papers.
Public rights in these forms of busi-
ness require not merely the dim light
of abstract law, which is easily evad-
ed but the bright light of enforced re-
sponsibility to experts who represent
the public Less business done honest
ly in the open is better than more
business done dishonesty in the dark.
