a Taft dawn appeared.
Senator Aldrich, whose son married
a daughter Of John D. Rockefeller, Is
said to have declared that q thousand
men knew Mr.. Rockefeller better than
he did. In fact, the senator has been
quoted as saying that. except at his
daughters wedding and q casual meet
ing on Fifth avenue, New York, on
Sunday In the early fall. he has not
seen Mr.. Rockefeller and did not learn
his views about the Taft candidacy
throughout the entire campaign last
year. Senator Aldrich was one Of
the first to attempt to reach Mr.. Rock
efeller to persuade him not to indorse
the candidacy of Mr.. Taft in a public
letter few days before election day.
The senator failed in his mission, but
he drew the gratitude of the president
for his attempt.
Senator Aldrich, I'm harmony with
many of the older senate leaders. Is
more than willing to do business on
an amicable basis with President Taft.

the wonders Of that hustling town
it was served to a splendid luncheon

THE BOYS OF THE PRESS.
By Edw. T. Barber

Mr.. Toastmaster, Ladies and Gen
tlemen:-I fully realize that I have
been assigned a very delicate subject
It is subject that is loaded heavier
than an army mule, for If I tell
the truth about this bunch here to.
night, each Of them being the editor
Of a newspaper will take occasion to
SANDER me for the next year or So
So I shall use the title of the re-
marks in a purely generic sense as
the Boys of the Press" always en-
braces the ladies also.
The boys of the press are classed
by some biologists as human beings
although they have many character
istics peculiar to themselves that diff
ferentiates them from Others of the
same race. So marked are some of
these characteristics that some scien-
lists have even doubted their correct
classification. In fact the boys Of the
press do not agree among themselves
as to the proper position in the ami
NAL kingdom. Not infrequently they
refer to each other as brainless apes,
google eyed gorrillas, putty heads,
sometimes referring to each other by
the indefinite pronoun ''it," indicating
a doubt in their own minds as to their
proper classification. But this is not
to be scientific treatise on biology
and we shall leave the question fol
more able minds to discuss.
AS animals they require food but
they are more omniverous than q
human being, 1t is said that they will
even eat, hay If you put little whis-
key on 1t. So in preparing the GUS
inc for such feast as this the chef
has wider range Of material from
which to select his menu than under
ordinary circumstances.
See Bill of Fare in another column
and note the additions In excess Of an
ordinary bill Of fare.
From this great range of food 1t is
possible for them to sustain life at
less cost than almost any other ami
NAL. The wide range Of diet also Is
responsible for the vast amount of
energy the boys Of the press have at
a H4
their command. So. we'll known Is
this fact that whenever any special
service is to be performed in their re-
specitve communities 1t is expected
the boys Of the press will bear the
brunt Of the work, and they are us
ually to be Johnnie-on-the-spot. In
fact, so valuable are they for this rea-
son alone that they are considered

ing down the Platte River the Chey-
ennes robbed them of all their horses
and killed all but Spaulding.
In 1S42 Marcus Whitman crossed
the continent to Washington on horse
back, and in 1S43 guided large col
ony to Oregon.
In 1846 the Bonner party, large
colony of farmers from the Prairie
States, went to California, Via the
North Platte, FIT. Laramie, Fl. Bird
ger, Great Salt Lake passing around
the south side of it, and west to the
Humboldt and Bonner Lake.
In 1S47 Brigam Young led the
first colony of Mormoms into the Salt
Lake Valley.
1S49 was the first year of the gold
rush to California.
July, 1909, will be the 18th ami
versary Of the unurling Of the Flag
at TT. Hall, and the introduction OF
the Protestant religion onthe Pacific
Slope, and these two events will be
celebrated by two days celebration
at Blackfoot on July 3rd and 4th.
The patriotic parts. the sports and
games will be on Saturday, and three
great religious services will be held
In the Court Park on Sunday, the
double celebration to be known as
1.-THE Diamond jubilee
Governor Brady and his staff and
many other prominent men Of the
state will be present, and the Govrn-
or will unfurl new flag and parti-
cipate In the ceremonies and the pro-
gram. A feature Of the day will be
a grand parade containing floats en-
blematic Of the early exploration, set
Element and development Of the West,
including displays Of many CONNER
cial bodies, fraternal orders, a hun
dred Indians and an Indian sun

will be held in the afternoon at the
fairgrounds.
For the Sunday program the Idaho
people will be joined by two train
loads OF Epworth league delegates on
their way from. the east to the Inter-
national convention at Seattle. One
trainload will come from Ottawa,

The speakers will be eminent divines
from all over the United States and
Canada, and one Nez Perez Indian

encampment will be arranged near
the Court Park for the benefit of the
visitors, and a grand booth Of litera-
ture will be maintained in the park,
where lovers of Idaho will place great
quantities Of illustrated and descrip-
tive matter concerning Idaho for free
distribution to all who care to carry
it away or mail it to their friends.
The Blackfoot Commercial Club

making arrangements to have excur-
sion trains run from all points in

indispensable to any well regulated
community.
This vast amount OF dynamic force
which they possess is not always ex-
pended as purely physical force. The
boys of the press are expected to set
the standard of mental and moral ex-
cellence in their communities, to ex-
ercise judgement and wisdom so rare
beyond that of any human being, that
1t is the cause of one of the points of
dispute among scientists as to their
proper classification.
The boys of the press have many
human problems to solve. They must
wear clothes, eat some sort of food,
buy printers paper, and use houses
just as though they were humans.
These things require presence of bill
collectors at stated periods. Now the
bill collector is natural enemy of
the Boys of the press and the self con-
troll which they are compelled to ex-
else when the bill collector makes
his periodic visit, in refraining from
anihilating him with their excess of
power, Is so much greater than that
possessed by a human being that
scientists again dispute with each 9TH
er as to the proper classification of
the species.
The human man who wishes to dis
play his small virtues in very mag
nified form, but who resents the dis
cussion Of any Of his vices in the pub
lie press Is also frequent caller on
the boys of the press. The forebear-
ance Of the boys Of the press under
the trying circumstances of an attack
Of such an individual is another of
their freak characteristics for If at
all times they told the truth as they
know it 1t is difficult to predict just
what might happen. The Leader in
it's first issue last Christmas announc-
ed that at all times It proposed to tell
the whole truth and In just four
months 1t has been necessary for 1t to
establish hospital in the upper story
of its building, for the accommodation
of its guests, and the hospital beds
are usually well filled, while DR..
Higgs is about the busiest surgeon In
the state. The boys of the press new
er get old. Within the past week
met lady on the street who informed
me that she was celebrating her birth
day. I said, well, you have a
slight advantage over me in point of
time, wont celebrate my birthday
for two months yet, and then will be
forty-nine years old" She replied,
why, Mr.. Barber, you don't look
that old by ten years" replied,
Neither do YOU" This is told to
show that the fountain of perpetual
youth lies hidden not far from an
EDITORS chair. Oliver Wendell Holmes
expressed the idea in poem which
he wrote to celebrate the fortieth an
niversary of his college class.
