The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1909-05-20

Has there any old fellow got mixed
with the boys?
If there has, take him out, without
making a noise.
Hang the almanacs cheat and the
catalogues spite,
Old Time is a liar. We're twenty
tonight.
We're twenty, we're twenty, who says
we are more?
He's tipsy, young jack-a-napes, show
him the door.
What, gray hairs at twenty? Yes,
white if you please,
For where snow fakes fall thickest
there's nothing can freeze
There's a boy with a wise mathemati-
cal look,
Made believe he had written a won
derful book
And the Royal Society thought it was
true
And took him right in, a good joke it
was, too.
And here's a young fellow of excel
lent pith,
Fate tried to conceal him by calling
him Smith
But he shouted a song for the brave
and the free.
Just read on his medal ssMy Count
of Thee"
You see that boy laughing? You'd
think he's all fun
But the angels laugh too at the good
he has done:
The children laugh loud as they troop
to his call,
And the poor man who knows him
laughs loudest of all.
Yes, yes we are boys, always play
ing with tongue or with pen
And sometimes thought, shall we
ever be men?"
Shall we always be smiling and happy
and gay,
Till the last dear companion drops
smiling away?
Then here's to our boyhood, its work
and its play;
The SHOWS of its winters, the flow
ers of its May
And when we are done with these
life-lasting toys,
Dear Father. take care of Thy child
rem, The Boys"

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

MIR. TOastmaster, Ladies and Gen.
tlemen:-I fully realize that I have
been assigned a very delicate subject
1t is a subject that is loaded heavier
than an army mule, for if 1 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 b~rainless apes.

sometimes referring to each other by
the indefinite pronoun cit" indicating
a doubt in their own minds as to their
proper classification. But this is not
to be a scientific treatise on biology
and we shall leave the question for
more able minds to discuss.
AS animals they require food but
they are more omriverous than a
human being, it is said that they will
eat hay if you put a little whis-
key on it. So in preparing the Gus
inc for such a feast as this the chef
has a wider range OF material from
which to select his enu than under
ordinary circumstances.
See Bill of Fare in another column
note the additions in excess of an
ordinary bill of fare.
From this great range of food it is
possible for them to sustain life at
ess cost than almost any other ami
nal. The wide range of diet also is
'esDonsible for the vast amount Of
Energy the boys of the press have at
heir commend. So well known Is
his fact that whenever any special
ervice is to be performed in their re-
pecitve communities it is expected
he boys of the press will bear the
runt of the work, and they are u.s.
ally to be Johnnie-on-the-spot. In
SO valuable are they for this rea- {
on alone that they are considered

Dear Strive want to present you
with these books, q little token Of
love and esteem from the Eastern
Idaho Press Club, and if we may
ask anything more than the pleasure
of making the gift, it will be to say
that up in Idaho are some newspaper
lei who would be proud to have
you call us your boys.
Your Fridays paper is our Sun
day reading, and we are better and
broader for drawing from it the
broad principles that are a safe
guide in times of conflict, and aHf up
lift at any time.
We all wish you many happy re-
turns of this day, and, be asusred,
we shall remember you affectionately
each year at the Eastertide.

indispensable to any well regulated

indispensable to any well regulated
community.
This vast mount 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
it 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 a 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 a very mag
nified form, but who resents the dis
eussion of any of his vices in the pub
lie press is also a frequent caller on
boys of the press. The forebear-
lnce of the boys of the press under

What might happen. The Leader in

PREJUOICED


A special meeting of the First
Perth Amboy Mutual Aid Society
was held in the Temple Shaarey
Tfiloh in Madison avenue last night
called at the instigation of few
members, headed by Herman Ellis,
who claim they have grievances
against the EVENING NEWS, be-
cause of what they termed the at
titude of the NEWS towards the Jews
Nathan Wilentz presided and
closed the meeting after several
had spoken, but as Mr. Ellis and his
followers protested, TIE meeting was
reopened
1t was declared that the NEWS
placed large and glaring headlines
over fires in houses owned by Jews,
while smaller accounts of fires in
houses of other people we're given.
Mr.. Ellis was particularly bitter be-
cause of the lines placed under his
picture on the first page of the
NEWS recently. He said 1t was an
Insult.
A committee of four members, Of
which Herman Ellis and Morris Slo-
bodien are members was appointed
to see the Hebrew business men
about calling mass meeting to dis
cuss the matter.

o'clock last night.
When Mr.. Swoboda discovered the
fire, which was caused by defective
fiue from an open fireplace in the
hall room on the first floor at the
front, he was sitting In another room
and noticed the smoke coming from
under the bottom of the wall. At
frst the blaze was confined in the
wall and Mr.. Swoboda telephoned to
the police station. According to Act
ing Sergeant Morris, he received a
telephone message at $3.50 o'clock
from Mr.. Swoboda that there was a
small blaze in his home and to send
q policeman there. Morris detailed
Officer Weitzen 20 the place and
about five minutes later he received

responded. When they reached the
box they found Patrolman Calvin
standing there, but he said he did
not know where the trouble was.
They were soon informed by Andrew
Wight and hurried to the place.
Meanwhile great excitement
reigned in the immediate vicinity Of
the Swoboda residence. Willing
neighbors removed what furniture

her children were cared for by

The flames ascended rapidly. Be-
