the company were recently audited by

this value was arbitrarily increased by

When the DE Forest company got into
trouble three years ago it is said it's
patents were sold for $50.

4 failure to control their
political ambitions has caused
more than one brainy man to
lose favor in his party and be
compelled to join the down
and out club. We have in
mind one particular case of
this kind. Away back in the
7O's Gen. James B. Weaver
wanted to. be governor of
Iowa. He had such an Itch
ing for that office that he but
ted in and tried to prevent
Governor Kirk wood from Sc
curing the nomination for a
second term In the republican
state convention. Because
be failed in this, Gen. Weaver
quit the republican party and
became, first a greenbacker,
then a populist and finally
landed on the back of the
democratic mule. ON which he
is still riding. 1t is true, af-
ter leaving the republican
party, he was sent to congress
twice FROM the Sixth Iowa
district But had the gener-
al curbed his political ambi-
ton for two years, there is
but little doubt but what the
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1910-03-18

would have NOM
mated and elected him gov
ernor, and later would have
sent him to the U. S. senate,
where he might today be
serving his state with credit,
for Gen. Weaver, in his
younger days, was considered
one of the very ablest men in
the Hawkeye state.
But his political ambition
outweighed his Judgment at
the time he tried to defeat
Iowa's grand old man. Sam
uel J. Kirkwood, for a second
term as governor. AS a re-
suit Weaver never reached
the office he so dearly COW
eted.
We have in mind a couple
of men in Idaho, who might
well profit from the exper-
fence of Gen. Weaver, and
Others who have met d similar
fate, by curbing their polite
al ambitions at this time, and
by so doing save themselves
a premature trip to the pc.
litical grave yard.

Life on the Pacific Coast, BY S. D.
Woods, who has long been promi.
nent resident OF San Francisco, is an
interesting first-hand account of the
history of the Golden State There Is,
perhaps, more romantic interest in the
story OF California than is to be found
in the annals of any other state in tie
union, and Mr.. Woods lived through
all its history. He first went TO Cali.
fornia in the great year, 1S49. but not
as a gold seeker. Mr.. Woods WAS a
mere lad then. He was accompany
ing his father, who was sent out as a
missionary TO the wild settlements OF
the Pacific Coast.
Mr.. Woods book is a pOok OF per-
sonal "reminiscences from q ousy life
He has served in congress, travelled
all along the coast, and is intimately
familiar not only with the building OF
the coast, but also with the men who
built H. He was a regular attendant
at the old California theater from
which so many o,d-time stars started
on the road to fame and his recollec-
tons of these personalities gives a
delightfully."- close picture of them. He
was also familiar with the legal, pro-
fessional and literary life of the coast
and there are TO be found in his book
many references to Bret Harte. Edwin
Markham and others.
Mr.. Woods unfortunately does not
give us the simplicity of style that
We would be led to expect in such
narrative Of pioneer days. There are
many observations of a general nature
that have only remote connection
with the text, and there are some
repetitions that might have been elm
mated by d little more careful editing.

GIVES CHRISTMAS ADDRESS.
Rev. J. 8. Clark Conducts Y. M. c. A.
Service-Tribute - G. Jay vinton.

SerVce-Iripute - u. Jay Vinton'
In the course OF a Christmas address
in the Y NJ. c. 4. auditorium, Sunday
afternoon, the Rev. John Britain Clark
said
During all the centuries kings and
emperors have trailed their robes,
all a1ame with jewels across the his
tory of the world. But today the whole
world follows in tie train of three
kings who trailed their splendor across
the bare floor OF poor eastern stable.
Why?
Because on that distant day there
was born a three-fold new idea OF
God for man. Man had thought God
angry with men. Man had been taught
that God held in his hand thunderbolts
to launch at humanity in sin against
Him. SO Rome taught: so Greece
taught; so the priests in Jerusalem
taught and so all men believed. But
in that birth of Christ was revealed
the new truth that God loved men
with a great love, that God hated with
awful anger the sin that dragged men
down but loved the sinner. Men failed
to make distinction between the sim
ner and his sin: but Christ came 10
show that God made that distinction
men failed TO make. For the first time
that great and divine truth was given
the world in the child born at Bethle-
hem-God loved and was not angry
with men"
