Every man has the right to his
own opinions, and we can always re-

courage of his convictions, but for
the man who turns his principles to
suit each passing political breeze,
honest men can only feel-pity. Mr..
Briggs should remember the tabled

two loads of hay because he vacillat-

According to her own statement she
is Fully fami liar with the weakness
ets in our educationa system and
states she is prepared to correct
them. The people for whose votes
Miss Brady is asking and who pay the
bills for this educational system, have
a night to know before giving h6r Their
vote, the nature of the remedies she
intends to apply. Possibly
what Miss Brady r2gardC
as weaknesses, we might con
slider strength. Possibly we do mo-
deelane revolution in school matteu S
.n this county.
After making so bread and sweep
in3 a statement it Is only fair 10 the
puoGc that Miss Brady go further i'm
to detail and give some idea at least,
of the planeshe intends to PUT into
operation.
We also have a night to know ON
what data Miss Brady founded her
knowledge of the weaknesses of our
educational system i'm Gilmore County.
Has she obtained her facts from act
llal visits to the various schools OF
this County and personal observation
of the methods employed therein,
and from a thorough personal know
ledge of the teachers of the County
and their qualifications as teachers
or has she obtained her knowledge
from hearsay only?
Since she herself states she has
taught for the past five years in
Mountain Home, how has she been
able to visit amy other schools in the
County? And df she has not visited
them how has she become familiar
with the weaknesses of our education
al system?
Gathering generahties look we'll on
paper but just plain facts appeal NOR
to a plain voter

An Unmanly Attack.

Had any evidence been necessary
to prove the low, contemplate char
acueq' of the editor of the New Time
the brutal, unWalranJed attack Gu
Mrs. Galloway i'm last weeks number
would be more than sufficient to
prove that he is imm easaureably far
below any conception OF the fine old
word gentleman" 1t has ever been
a requirement for a man who lays
clam to the above distinguished title
to show consideration and regard
for woman and especially for one who
lis fighting kfe's battle alone or whose
circumstances in amy way appeal to
mans dhivalry for protection.
Students OF HISTORY know that no
matter how desperate a mans charac-
ter mRy become. id he retains spark
OF manhood, he shows DIT by his treat-
anent Of good woman.
The BEING, whose Holy Name lis
SO often proclaimed by being printed
I'm such contemplate newspapers as
the New Time, showed His thought
full care of His widowed Mother.
While suffering the untold agony of
death upon the Cross, He arranged
for her welfare by commitdng her to
the care of His Apostle whom He
lowed.
Mr.. Densel, being a true gentleman
cam only feel chagrn that his name
should be used in connection with
SO despicable an act.
Mrs. Galloway lis not soliciting the
office ON the score of necessity
though it Is true that Ut would assure
her a fixed salary for the coming two
years.
Is 1T possible for a man who has
shown a decided lack OF business
ability to be a competent judge of
that quality in another? MIR. Tab
lots record certainly does not empha-
size any special ability on his part ex
cept perhaps, that of peregrlnator
Therefore, since Mrs. Galloway has
had business raining and practical ex-
perience in public office she VIII per-
form the duties of treasurer to the
satisfaction OF everyone and that she
deserves your support.

know Governor Brady and some of
the members of his staff Every
man, woman and child in Poeatello

The Seattle Star criticised the
court for this action, stating that
whenever "men clashed with dol

courts to aid collars" with the

tempt of court followed, the court
holding that inasmuch as the in

pending and were not, under the
law, permitted to be criticised UNI
til closed.
During the interval between the
citation of the editors and their

daily, it's attacks on the use of the
injunction. Regarding the con-
tempt of court charge The Star ar
gued that only contempt shown in
open court should be punished, that
no court should punish newspa-

that if the articles were not true
the court already had a remedy at
hand in the libel and criminal laws

CHOICE
BALLOT TRIAL

Some sprprIse has been Gre
ated in the result of the SAM
Pile elections held at various
charter meetings under the
proposed preferential voting
plan. In one or two sample
elections Aaron Burr ard
Benedict Arnold have either
been elected commissioners or
have been very close to cleo
ton. This is due to the fact
that the people voted for tho
men they preferred for the
first and second choices and
voted the balance Of the ticket
for third choice. In this way
their desires as to first and
second choice were nearly
swept aside by the indiscrimi-
nate use of the third choice
ballot.
