years old. brigadier general of mot

tives and American adventures, and
saved from firing squad by the mer-
est chance after a sentence of death
had been passed on him. Clifford
Sands came back from Central Am
erica in the same way smaller boy
would return from an imaginary but
exciting battle with Indians.
A year ago Sands was a freshman
in Washington university, and fresh
men are never heroes. In q space of
seven months he Joined the Nicara-
guam revolutionary army, stole the
| plans of a government fort, was made
a general, fought in the thick of every
battle, attempted to dynamite q war
ship and was finally captured, SEN
fenced to be shot the next morning
and saved only by the entirely unex.
pected Intervention of an American
physician.
He was paroled on the condition
that he would leave Nicaraga at once
This he did, landing at New Orleans
July 4, returning to Seattle, and eight
months after the day he set sail for
Nicaragua he was back attending
neighborhood parties given by young
folk of his own age. where euchre
and five hundred furnished the maxi
mum of excitement
A revolutinary agent came to Seat
tie last November Sands was mem
Der of the university cadets and had
been captain of his high school cadets
The revolutionist promised both ex-
element and wealth to Sands II he
would go to Nicaragua and the boy
went
i The day Sands landed in Nicaragua
he visited a government fort under
the pretense of being a tourist and
took notes on the defenses which led
to the capture of the fort later by the
. revolutionists. He was made a cap
tain, then colonel, and finally a gen
eral.
He tried to dynamite the gunboat

The "wets" have always held up
the pictues of bankrupt cities when
the saloon license was cut off,
and of bankrupt school districts and
short terms of school when the sa-
loon revenue stopped, and the longer
the occupation tax is imperative or
the longer it may be held up in prep
aration or application or in the courts
the greater will be the embarrass-
ment of the "drys.'
Any radical change generally
brings it's sacrifices and the enamel
patton of the black slaves was per-
haps the greatest ordeal this country
has ever had to adapt itself to. The
emancipation of the drink slaves con-
stitutes another trying ordeal which
society and the business world can
not expect to get through without
sacrifices and embarrassments, but
the upheaval predicted when the sale
was cut off to saloons have not come
and if the public will but be alive
to the situation and loyal to those
who are entrusted to the manage
ment of finances during the transi,
ton the sacrifices will not be great
There can be no success with halt
ing and backing out. The only way
to cross the stream is to cross it and
stay crossed long enough to get dry
and get accustomed to being dry.

ONE INDUSTRY STARTS ANOTHER

The scarcity of wood at Blackfoot
and the difficulties of getting any
considerable supply now from the
lava beds is a timely reminder that
the steamboat is much needed on
Snake river to bring the cottonwood
timber up from the islands from
which it is too expensive to bring it
by wagon.
People can get out timber and
load barges, and have the logs and
poles towed to the wood yard at the
docks, and there sawed up into stove
wood by a little saw mill, and it will
afford a good business for somebody
to supply wood and kindling already
for USE 1t will afford profitable en-
ployment for many people getting out
the timber at times when they would
otherwies be idle, and the steamer
can tow it in at little cost and at
good potts to the owners on it's reg
ular trips.

withhold the wholesome influence
which it lies within your power to
contribute. Offended by the hasty
and narrow judgments of egotistical
ignorance you will often doubtless be
sorely tempted to hold your peace,
and, retiring from the field, leave the
public interests in the hands of the
clamorous crowd; but in yielding to
such an impulse you confess defect
and impeach the wisdom of the main
tenance at public expense of our
schools of higher learning. The well
fare of your local community, the
public interests of the state, the wear
of the nation, all unite in demanding
your contribution to public sentiment
that it may become more intelligent,
more stable, freer from fickleness of
passion, more discerning of its own
real interest, and quicker to recognize
and swifter to support the men in
public life who, with intelligence and
singleness of purpose, are endaevor-
ing to solve the intricate problems of
the government, both local and ma
tional, and to administer the laws
with equity and justice.
Nor can we render conspicuous
service in this direction if we our
selves are intolerant and bigoted in
our views, and devoid of sympathy
for the frailities of human nature
those who are wise in the learning
of the books often fail to appreciate
or refuse to take cOgniZance of the
fact that government is not an exact
science, and that men are neither
pawns to be moved at will, nor math-
ematical characters of practice and
invariable values. If we would deal
effectively with the forces which
make for wholesome public opinion
we must ourselves assume an attitude
emitting us to confidence and respect
To those who from time to time are
intrusted with actual administrative
responsibility there is quite as little
help and often quite as much of hind.
rance. in the intractable obstinacy of
the learned doctrinaire as in the
shameless demands of the men whose
only standard of public morality is
his own narrow selfish interest
Neither perfect law nor perfect ad-
ministration of the law is within the
range of possibility, and he who
would accomplish substantial results
must be content to take the best that
is possible. and to that end to EN-.
ploy practical means. To be practical
does not imply a lowering of stand
ards, but only a submission to the ne.
cessity of accepting the best which
can be gotten. We may maintain
ideals without being idealists; we
may have vision, and still not be
visionary. We should cherish senti.
ment, but we nee dnot be sentiment
alists."

OUR OCCUPATION TAX

The city council is formulating a
schedule for an occupation tax to be
paid by all persons engaged in bust
ness in the city, the purpose being
to secure revenue to take the place
of the money received in liquor IL
censes before the county went dry.
This is looked upon in the light
of hardship by some, but not much
so by those whose business suffered
from the losses incident to the liquor
trade, such as losses of accounts by
men who drank, losses from work
men being absent from their places
of duty when drunk and their SER
vices much needed. A merchant can
better afford to pay an occupation tax
than to forfeit several times as much
in the loss of drunkards' accounts.
The credit business of the community
has been relieved of much of it's dis
agreeableness by the removal of the
liquor traffic, and those who do not
measure up to the level of their OPP
portunities under the present system
are being eliminated from the list of
those entitled to credit by an asso-
citation known as the Merchants Pro-
tective association, every man and
woman being rated according to his
or her record, and nobody being en-
titled to credit unless the record is
clear or an arrangement made by
which 1t may become clear.
The city council have a difficult
task to face, there being a great di-
versity of industries to be classified,
and it would take the wisdom of a
Solomon to make a schedule that
would not work a hardship in some
instances. There are periods of de-
preston in some lines of business
while there is plenty of business for
others, and it will require patience
and a patriotic effort on the part of
the public to adjust themselves to the
new conditions.
1t has been said, and justly so,
that changing from "wet" to the
"dry" will bring new problems that
will tax the wisdom and loyalty of
the people to meet and adjust them
selves to, and every thinking person
recognizes the fact. 1t may also be
said that Americans are equal to any
emergency which they get themselves
into, the worst feature being that
they are so good natured and tolerant
that they allow themselves to be
severely injured before they rise to

THE HOLIDAY TURNED DOWN

At the meeting Monday evening
when the half holiday for every We'd
nesday afternoon was under discus
sion, several interesting matters came
to light, and while Blackfoot is a
small town and the country is new,
the same conditions will probably
prevail and deserve consideration.
While the farmers are very busy
it will not be easy for merchants to
take holidays or half holidays, for
their interests are too closely aSsO-
ciated to admit of such separation.
Clerks need recreation and oppor-
tunity to get away from the daily
routine of work, but they cannot get
very far away nor have time to ac-
complish much in half day, and it
is little satisfaction to him to be laid
| off and have to be idle about town
when there is nothing doing or moth
ing that he cares especially to go to.
If the employer deducts the pay of
the employe for the half day, it works
a hardship on him, and if he does not
it adds to the already heavy expense
bill which the business has to cover
Merchants are called upon for so
many contributions outside of operat-
ing expenses that nobody but those
who pay the bills have any adequate
idea of what the expenses amount to-
and there is a limit to what can be
met in such matters.
Anything that adds to the expenses
of the merchant adds to the cost of
goods or the impossibility of reduc-
ing prices to the customer and the
high cost of living is live question
not to be ignored.
People coming in from distant
farms to get supplies cannot always
know what is going on in town before
they start, and 1t is very serious
loss to the man who has to come
in twice to get what he expected to
get at one trip made when the stores
happened to be closed.
The man who closes his store at
twelve o'clock and starts home to
dinner does not enjoy his half holi-
day if he is called back to the store
several times on requests that he does
not care to ignore. He would rather
work on until night and know that
he has served his customers to their
liking.
When a holiday occurs on Satur-
day or Monday it gives clerks a
chance to go out for couple of days
recreation, but the merchant who
handles fresh fruits loses a lot of
goods, and his customers and the
customers of the meat market have
trouble keeping supplied with what
they need for the table.
The men who are making good in
the world and succeeding in their re-
spective lines are not the men who
are working eight hours a day and
taking many holidays. They are men
who apply themselves diligently for
six days in the week and become so
absorbed in their undertakings that
they have little regard for hours of
leisure or anything that may be hap
pening to attract peoples time and
attention. They concentrate their
energies on their own work and push
it to the limit of their ability.

SHOULD GIVE A RECEPTION

Blackfoot should make arrange
ments to give royal reception when
the steamer arrives from American
Falls on the 4th of July. 1t is nota-
bic event, THE beginning of trans
portation by water in the center of
the valley and Blackfoot real estate
men, Blackfoot merchants, all bust
ness and social interests at the Grove
City will be greatly affected by the
development of this enterprise, as
will also every land owner along the
river within a few miles of it's line
of travel.
1t is not merely the one small
steamer of today, but the beginning
of an industry that will mean a line
of steamers later on if it is success
full and when the big dam is put in
at American Falls if it Is built, it
will mean that many and larger
steamers will be needed. There Is
plenty of capital ready for investment
in steamboats, for the lake as soon as
the bond is given to insure the build
ing of the dam itself.
