lican national convention had nom
mated Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Roosevelt made
a statement in which he said:
If Mr.. Taft is nominated and
elected president, which would be
very gratifying, it would make i'm
possible any criticism, if l were
abroad, to the effect that was die
tating to him and being followed, or
that had dictated and had been
turned down in any suggestions
Wherever Mr.. Roosevelt goes in
his travels outside of the United
States it will be as a plain American
citizen, and not as the ex-president
of the United States. His tour will
be nothing like the one Gen. Grant
made after retiring from the presi-
dency. General Grant was received
in state by emperors and kings
wherever he went on his tour around
the world. He was feted as no
other American. ever was. Mr..
will have none of this.

The present plans provide fol
the joining of the party at Khartoun
by Mrs. Roosevelt, who will accom-
pany the ex-president and Kermit tc
Europe and Great Britain, while the
naturalists of the party proceed tc
the united States with the results Of
the expedition.
Mr.. Roosevelt will probably re-
main in Continental Europe and
Great Britain about one year, having
accepted invitations to deliver the
Romanes lecture at Oxford univer-
sity, an address at the Sorbonne in
Paris and a lecture before the stu
dents of the University of Berlin. He
will speak German in his address be-
fore the Berlin students, French in
his lecture at the Sorbonne and
English at Oxford. While in Lon
don, it is not unlikely that Mr.. and
Mrs Roosevelt will visit st. Georges
church, where they were married in
1886. They may be in London on
the twenty-fourth anniversary of the
wedding.
Mr.. Roosevelt wishes it well UNI
derstood that he is not going to
Africa for sport, but for scientific
research and recreation. He is in
need of rest and change of scene,
although in vigorous physical condi-
ton, and decided that he would make
the African trip as it would enable
him to enjoy an outing at the same
time make himself useful to science.
With his retirement as twenty
sixth president Of the United States
at 90 years of age, Mr.. Roosevelt did
complete practically 25 years of
public service. He has been in pub
lie life almost constantly since he
was graduated from Harvard uni
versity in 1880. He served the peo-
pie as assemblyman in New York
state, Civil Service commissioner of
the United States, president of the
police board of New York city, assis-
.ant secretary of the navay of the
United States, colonel Of the First
United States Volunteer Cavalry in
he Spanish war, governor of the
state of New York, vice president of
he United States and then as presi-
lent Of the United States.
The outgoing president is anxious
o be out of the country during the

Is faith for the cure Of sickness a

EDITORIAL SEE-SAW.

Lost River is to have multiplicity
of newspapers. Mackay has boosted
a newspaper for several years, and all
the valley has been called on to help
sustain It, but now there is to be a
paper at every town.
K. p. Brown circulated a subscrip-
ton at Moore and received a re-
Spouse that was satisfactory to him
and arrangements were Immediately
begun for printing "The Lost River
Times" at the Blackfoot office and
mailing out from Moore. Somebody
wired Editor Dillingham; Of the
Mackay Miner and he took the Air
Line for Arco, engaged a building
for a print shop, circulated a sub
scription list to get what support he
could, found 1t satisfactory, put in
part of his Mackay plant and is do
ing business at the old stand as we'll
as at the new one.
Mr.. Brown waves a merry "Ta-ta"
to Dill as he goes up the line to his
Moore business and Dill returns the
ta-ta as he passes Moore enroute to
his branch house at Arco. Each one
has the other beaten a city block and
there is still the switch at Lost River
and the switch at Powell without
newspaper. Darlington also furnishes
virgin territory and Leslie and Cerro
Grande are among the possibilities.

HORACE NEAL ACQUITTED.

:
Horace Neal, the cashier of the
J Capitol State Bank, which failed at
Boise over year ago, has been under
trial for forgery the past few weeks
and was acquitted Of the charge.
It was shown that he had forged
notes to the amount Of about $50, 900
during a term Of years, and had la
ken up expired notes with payments
or with newly forged notes, thus
carrying the business Of the bank
along from year to year until the
panic came and he was unable to
continue it longer. He did not profit
personally by his forgeries, but evil
IDENTIFY expected to tide the bank
over. He was addicted to the use Of
morphine. became q liar Of the first
magnitude, and because the directors
of the bank were guilty Of misman-
agement, and directed him to do
certain things which were irregular,
and because he was addicted to the
use Of the dope, and because Of the
further reason that he was defended
by Jas. H. Hawley, he has been ac-
quilted.
The, bank has been reorganized,
and 1t is expected that 1t will even
tually pay its obligations. Neal
will be prosecuted on other charges.
Another Case Of Forgery.
"A woman in Oregon was sentenced
last week to serve a sentence in the
penitentiary for forging a check for
$50. Evidently she made it for just
the amount she had to have 10 get
through her trouble and make ends
meet, and the sentence was made in
notwithstanding from one year
to fourteen years, within the option
of the prison authorities and the
pardon board.
This seems an injustice and no
doubt is, but because such things
happen, we have no business to con-
denim the government or the courts.
We should amend the laws SO that
the person who steals large sums or
small, should be dealt with in a way
to prevent repetitions of the crimes.

ADMIRAL EVANS AT LEWISTON.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
the famous naval officer, is to be in
Lewiston on March 10. He will
lecture under the auspices Of the
Lewiston State Normal school.
Admiral Evans began his lecture
tour on January Sth in New York
city under the auspices Of the
United State Navy league. His next
lecture was in Philadelphia. He is
now touring the East and will be in
Spokane on March 18th, where he
lectures under the auspices of the
10000 club. From there he will

engaged by the State Normal school.
His four lectures are: with the
Fleet from New York to San Fran
cisco, !" "a Summers Cruise Among
the Seals" 'At Santiago Harbor
During the Spanish War;" and Con
ditions in the Far East at the Open
ing of the Russo-Japanese War"
This last lecture he will deliver in
Lewiston.
Admiral Evans is one of the really
great men of the United States-a
maker of history. The opportunity
OF seeing and hearing such famous
man comes seldom. The students of
the Lewiston Normal are to be con-
graduated on having this oppor-
tunity.

my real and main interest is the in
terest of faunal naturalist"
Mr. Roosevelt plans to be away
from the United States two years.
Half of this time will be spent in
Africa and the other half in Europe,
visiting at least three of the big
capitals. The president is really
going more as naturalist than as a
hunter. History will record that he
set out at the head of scientific
expedition outfitted by the Smith
sonian institution Of Washington,
which included, in addition to his
19-year-old son, Kermit, three
American naturalists of note
Major Edgar A. Nearns, j. Loring
Alden and Edmund Heller. The
party will make a collection of NAM
mails, birds, reptiles, insects and
botanical specimens of Central
Africa, which will be deposited in
the United States National Museum
at Washington.
President Roosevelt and his party
plan to leave New York about the
middle of this month, going by the
Mediterranean route to Gibraltar and
Naples. There the party will board
a steamer of the German East Africa
line for Kilindini harbor, Mombasa
island. BY the end of April this
port will have been reached, and the
party will then Immediately proceed
by the Uganda railway to Nairobi,
where six months will be spent. The
party will then continue by rail
to Port Florence. Lake Victoria
Nyanza, making a total distance of
584 miles by rail. The expedition
will cross Uganda by caravan, and
finally pass down the entire length
,f the Nile, reaching Khartoum about
April 1910.

The business is passing away,
slowly but surely, dying hard as
every great worldwide mistake dies,
and its effects will live on for gem

to have died out. Like slavery 1t
will live on in hereditary laws to

misery and crime.
