HEARD ABOVE NOISE
of HIS TAN SHOES
Reformed Republican Legislator from Idaho Says Brady Has
Put His Foot in It and That Democrats viii Car
ny the State Two Years Hence.

Colonel Willard White of Boise, with
a pleasant Illuminating smile. and
wearing the brightest, shiningest. yell
lowest, most musical pair of tan shoes
that ever clicked along the stone side
walks Of Salt Lake City, is in town. He
was discovered on Main street yester-
day by a Herald reporter, who spied the
shoes twinkling merrily in the after
moons sun rays far up the street, and
waited on the corner to listen to the
music as it grew nearer and nearer and
louder and louder.
''Haltr' commanded the reporter
when the colonel was abreast of him.
Colonel White halted with military
precision, but the shoes kept right on
shouting
Say, young man." asked the colonel
with a perplexed look on his face.
what makes everybody in this bloom
ing town keep rubbering at my feet all
the timer You'd think nobody in this
town ever saw pair of tan shoes from
the way everybody rubbers. Aren't
those a pair of swell kicks?" And the
colonel glanced fondly at his shoes.
Very fine works." responded the re-
porter. "and lots of company 1 should
imagine
Yes, but too conspicuous in Salt
Lake City. If / had anything else to
wear on my feet but a pair of slippers
I'd put these in my trunk until / get
back to civilization. Do you know"
went on the visitor, that I've been
watching peoples feet ever since I
struck this town and I've seen only two
pairs Of tan shoes in,the city? One pair
were worn by a woman VINO Just came
in on train from the west, and the
other pair by a workman on the new
Short Line depot. Now. in Boise, most
everybody is sporting tans right now.
They have TO be in line with the trees
that are leaving out and the roses that
are budding and the lawns that are
getting greener and greener, and
The colonel paused to ask if he was
being interviewed for publication. The
reporter nodded
We'll, then, I'll have to give you some
more dope along that line, for 1 want
the people I'm Boise to know I've been
boosting the town while away. Let's
see, where did I leave off?"
THE lawns were getting green,
and"
Seat In Boosters Club.
ooh, yes, and while the air IS vocal
with the songs of robins and bluebirds,
and. and Well, you just quote me as
saying any old thing that Will entitle
me to seat in the Boise Boosters club
and I'll stand for IT.
Colonel White confided to the reporter
that he was the proprietor. by right of
recent purchase, of the Ashton Town
site company in Fremont county. and
that he was in this city appointing q
number of sales agents.

CHEERS AND KISSES.
Woman Acquitted of the Crime OF
Murder by San Diego Jury.

San Diego, Cal. March 24-Mrs Effie
Duden, charged with the murder in this
city on Jan. % last of her brotber-in-law.
Bruce Shelter, was acquitted today by a
jury after two hours and half delibera-
ton.
Immediately following the reading of
the verdict by the clerk, q storm of Kisses
mingled with the handclapping of Mrs
Duden's relatives and friends. came from
every part of the room. Judge Lewis
raped for order and threatened to clear
the courtroom If the demonstration did not
cease
When Mrs. Duden heard the verdict she
started up and turned to her husband,
who took her in his arms, embrac cling her
strenuOusly. Then he broke down and
cried like a child. Mrs. Duden's emotion,
so plainly visible before the jury reported
and before the verdict was read, seemed
TO fade when she heard the words mot
guilty" and received the congratulations
Of her relatives, friends and attorneys
in calm manner.

also liked them, and when this business
came up, why, they sent for me. It's
something that's got to be talked about.
and they found out 1 could talk. You
see, it's all on the same principle as a
Carey act proposition, but at the same
time the postoffice authorities won't let
us advertise it, so I have to talk"
1t might be mentioned that Willard
White has reputation as q talkeT. He
was member of the house in the Idaho
legislature two years, and he had the
record of that session for the number of
bills presented. He was the father of
more bills than any other member of
either branch of the legislature, and he
managed to talk most of them into
laws. He has long been one of the hot
Republicans of Idaho, but he made some
statements yesterday that almost drew
the reporters attention away from his
shoes for while. He was asked about
the status of politics in his state.
eFady's Bad Mess.
Awful bad; awful ness" he ex-
claimed. The new governor has got
started in a bad way. He's made some
awful bad breaks"
what, James II. Brady?'
yes. He's played too much politics
and he's got a lot of people sore. pre-
dict he'll only last one term as gov
ernor. Why, look at the way he played
his appointments for political strength
for his pet schemes-the Shoup county
bill and the Carey act bill. and a few
other things he was interested in. He
never made an appointment until after
the legislature adjourned, and until
then he had a dozen persons for each
job all jollied up to think they were go
ing TO be given choice seats at the
prune counter. Sore? You never saw
so many sore folks in your life.
Yes, sir. there isn't any doubt in my
mind about the result. The Democrats
are going to carry Idaho two years
hence. And I wouldn't be surprised if
Bosses next mayor will be a Democrat.
John Haines is renominated, but if he
beats Joseph It. Pence, the Democratic
nominee, he's got to get up and do some
tall work. As q matter of fact, this
same, young. bright, hustling Joe
Pence, if he keeps his head level and
goes on saving wood as he is doing
now, has a likely chance, two years
from now. of sitting in the same chair
that Jim Brady is warming now"
And your
"Oh. me? I'm cut OF politics. I've
quit working for the dear people for a
while and am now earning an honest
living selling town lots" The colonel
looked at his watch, said farewell, and
the brightest, yellowest, shiningest
shoes in salt Lake City went tRinkling
on their way toward the Kenyon hotel
where the Idaho man is registered.
