The Beautiful Snow

In several OF the rooms in the
public schools the teachers permitted
the children to go TO the windows
and watch the great snowHakes fall
yesterday afternoon, and the little
ones were delighted with the beauti-
iul sight. /, was a pleasure to all to
watch the snow, and to those who
came from Norway, Sweden, and
other cold countries, or back east, II
was a reminder OF other days. The
snow melted almost as soon as it
fell, however leaving the sidewalks
and streets in slushy condition, Had
it not melted upon touching the
warm ground there would have been
quite a blanket over the city. Up on
the hill sides the trees were white
with the beautiful snow"

LOCA LIS

AS Taft weighs $50 pounds,
and the planks in the Republican
platform are so flimsy great fear
is entertained that the platform
will collapse when he tries to
walk into the White House ON so
frail structure.
Editor Wallin of the Tribune
at Pocatello, arrived in Challis
Friday evening last, and on the
following morning departed for
Salmon. This was his first trip
to the Salmon river country.
The new Forest Reserve tele-
phone from Challis to Forney
and connecting with Salmon, was
last Saturday completed and
connected with Challis. The
Office is at Supervisor Laing's.
The Rebekahs gave Mrs. VIM.
Elder a genuine birthday sur
prise party last Friday evening.
Life, with all its stern realities,
occasionally breaks out in a halo
of light and JOY so resplendeRt
the clouds vanish far in the dis
tance and we dwell in the realms
of ecstacy for time. Perhaps
the pleasant event at the Elder
home Friday night might have
been the counterpart of this
when a score of friends announc-
ed their presence at the door to
spend social hour with them in
honor of the event of Mrs. Elder
reaching her two score and ten
years. The visit was very pleas
ant to all and the refreshments
highly refreshing. The little
perpetrated in present
ing beautiful gifts, added spice
to the occasion and will ever
serve to awaken pleasant memo
ries. May Mrs. Elder in her life |
of usefulness maintain the vigor
Of womanhood to her FIVE score
years. !

Mr.. Taft appears to be court
ing the support of both factions,
with poor Mr.. Sherman to shoul-
der the blame if the rural voter
doesn't like the arrogation of the
cause by the New York manipu-
lators.
One side or the other seems
due for disillusion that will oc-
easion some more lack of conf
dence" if Mr.. Taft should be
elected, and should then have to
choose which master he will
serve.
The best that could be hoped
would be continuation of the
status quo as the result of Re-
publican victory, and that is
hollewly mocking as sample of
prosperity. The open disaster,
predicted as the result of Taft's
defeat, would, if anybody were
to take the prophecy seriously,
be somewhat more comfortable
as a relief from gloomy suspense.

THE PANIC CRY.

A casual observer might think,
from the persistence of Republi-
can writer's and spellbinders,
that the country is at present en-
loying time of unparalleled pros
perity. Even Mr.. Taft, whose
''judicious temperament" was
praised by one of his press bur-
eau attaches, greatly to the en-
barrassment of the attache when
the autocrat of the White House
read it, has fallen into the old
plan of claiming prosperity as
the necessary effect of Republi.
can success and business disas.
ter as the inevitable outcome of
Democratic victory.
That's something like direct
ing the jury to bring in verdict
for the defendant. But what
about the facts in the case I?
Isn't any testimony to be heard
from the thousands who are out
of work and desperately hunting
for employment ?
Not many sane voters are very
anxious for continuance of the
situation that prevailed last win
ter. If that's the kind of pros
perity that comes from some
thing like IL consecutive years
of Republican success, the resuI-
tant of what has been done by a
Republican President, with a
Republican House and a Repub-
lican Senate, the distinguished
Judge is denying the weight due
to some very cumulative circum-
stantial evidence.
AS a matter of fact the time
worn argument of Republicanism
as basis of prosperity is moth
ing armorclad, as Col. Henry
w Watterson shows
This pretense has done duty
extensively in recent years, and
'or a time it was supported by a
series of fortunate accidents. To
De sure the contention that Re-
publican success is always fol-
owed by good times had nothing
% support it. The Republicans
Won in 1872 by great majority, |
ind yet the panic of the next |
'ear was tremendous, and the
iull times lasted for half a doz- |
IN years, with numerous bank
'uptcies and all sorts of financial
But this was a genera
ion ago, and is remembered i'm
serfectly by the mass of the
population. Fifteen years ago !
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1908-08-11

the panic came hard after a Dem
ocratic triumph, just as that of
1873 came after a Republican
victory. Moreover the panic of
1898 came before there had been
any legislation by the Demo
Gratis, and could not fairly be at
tributed to any such cause. But
the fact that it came during a
Democratic administration was
accepted by great many as
proof that it was caused by the
Democrats. By the time new
President was inaugurated the
dull time had run their course,
and prosperity speedily return
ed. That the panic and the re-
covery happened to follow close
upon a Democratic and Republi-
can victory was mere coinci-
dence. In the 70's the same thing
occurred without any change of
parties, though the country de-
clared against the Republicans
in 1874 and 1876. But the coin
cidence of these events was for
tunate for the Republicans, and
they got the benefit of it. All
this, however, was changed last
year. The Republicans were in
power in all departments of the
government and yet a panic came
on. They insist that they were
not to blame for it, but certainly
they were as much to blame as
were the Democrats in 1898.
They had already announced the
rule that Republican success
meant prosperity. Republican
defeat adversely; so they were
estopped from saying the panic
had no partisan bearing. They
had insisted to the contrary for
many years, and so were comit-
ted to principle which the busi-
ness reverses showed to be un-
tenable.
Every officially recognized
voice OF the republican
party last year blamed Wall
street for the panic, and declar-
ed it due to desperate measures
taken by the financiers in their
fight against the public. For
the time being, the question of
what party is in power was ruled
out as irrelevant.
Now it is revived, and the pub
lie could please the powers by
overlooking any speculation as
70 what Wall streets whims
have to do with hard times.
But even some Republicans
nave good memories, and they |
ire wondering whether the party |
tself isn't in for hard times as
The result of the strife between
Wall street and the progressives
or control of the organization. |
