The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1908-03-06

and Judge Fackerell has let US out on
probation tLaughter) ii we don't get
taken in by the other judges here to-
night we shall be very happy. This
is not the first time we have started
out and met with opposition. We
came here from Shelley, close COM
petitor of Idaho Falls, which you
all so dearly love. (Applause.) In
order to get votes we had to get SUBJ
scriptions for the chief newspaper
of your town, and because we live
SO far from you and so close to Idaho
Falls we knew we would be working
against odds, but the fame of the
Blackfoot Republican has spread all
over the county, and you should
know how we have boosted for your
town, (Applause.) 1t is the mark
of nobleman to boost for his own
town, but when he boosts also for
some other town 1t develops the an
gelic part of his nature.
! speak for Miss Carrier-look at
her with that smile. She has been
boosting for Shelley and for The Re-
publican and for Blackfoot too. We
built school house at Shelley or our
people did, and those who have been
put off the train at Shelley and had
to stay over there all agree that we
have a better school and better APP
paratus than any school in the coun-
try, and when we take this beautiful
piano into our chapel and show the
trustees that we have paid for it with
courage and pluck, we will have the
greatest school in the county. Any
body can 60 out and get subscribers
in your own town, but 1t takes a
whole lot of hustling to place paper
that far away. Ladies, 1t will be
worth stacks of money to your hus-
bands to have this piano go to Shell
ley. There are many citizens up that
way that would like to trade in
Blackfoot If they could only make a
start. Mr.. Trego has to pay for the
piano SO what do you care, and our
settlers will spend thousands of dol
lars down here with you. Mr.. Trego
will be out again soon with that green
sack to get money enough to get an
other piano. Will you cast your vote
for us? We believe you will. Miss
Carrier wants this piano to use in the
primary room of the public school.
You tell me who will put it TO bet
ter use? When asked to enter this
contest she offered to give it to the
public school and she offered to do
more-she offered to 60 into new
field of work and that she has done
have the honor of introducing Miss
Carrier
MISS CARRIER
| hope the piano will follow the
whales and come our way. We have
convinced ourselves that the Idaho
Republican is really the best news
paper in the ST. e of Idaho. For my
reading tonight have chosen read
ing between Juliet and her old nurse
in which she coaxes her nurse to
tell her her lovers answer to the
note she sent to him.
The recitation followed
Mr.. Trego: have been guess
ing who will get the piano and we
have one more number before taking
recess, this will be a speech to the
winning one whoever it may be.
have pleasure in presenting to you
Rev. Edwards who will address you.
REV. AWARDS.
feel as though you are up against
1t or else that am. don't know
whether / am going to give you a
funeral address or a sermon or marry
somebody or what 1t gives me a
great deal of pleasure to be able to
congratulate the young lady who is
about to win the piano-she is very
charming whoever she is. Laugh
teri There is only one thing that
saves her-T have a wife and piano
or there might be wedding If she
were willing. (Applause.)
am very glad indeed tonight for
this generous and hilarious spirit
that has prevailed through this en-
tire service. A man said to me the
other day you are the man with a
smile" said "Oh 1t is easy enough
to be pleasant when life goes along
like song, but the man worth while
is the man with the smile when every
thing goes dead wrong" guess we
may say that the girl worth while is
the girl with smile who doesn't get
the piano. There is one thing sure we
cant all get 1t. but there Is one who
will he the fortunate one and how |
