EXPRESS AGENT MISSING.
viii Rima, Agent Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company, Skips Out.

Since Saturday evening the
whereabouts of Will Rima, the
local agent of the Wells Fargo Elk
press Company has been in doubt.
On Sunday Will Biddinger, his Of
flee assistant, found his bunch of
keys belonging to the office on the
floor, having been thrown into the
Office over the transom, and since
Saturday nothing has been seen OF
of late, and at the dance Friday
night when the lights went out for
moment pulled out big revolver
and shot through the ceiling. A
party of friends took him home
and succeeded in unloading his re-
volver and getting it away from
him. 1t is reported that he went
to North McGregor by automobile
Saturday evening, and was last
seen there. The safe at the ex-
press Office was locked, and yester-
day morning the route agent ar
rived with the combination. and
has since been checking over his
accounts. The case is one very
much to be regretted, especially as
he had a splendid opportunity in
this position. 1t is thought by
many that his mind has been af-
fected by too much liquor.
The amount of his shortage will
be made known this afternoon by
the officials in charge, and we un.
derstand it will amount to quite g
sum.

Did q Big Business. !

One of the busiest stores in the
city last week was N. r. Groff's big
hardware store. This store, of
course, is always very busy waiting
on a big line of customers, but the
big demonstration of Majestic
ranges almost taxed the capacity of
the store. An expert from the
factory was at the store showing
the -naEy good qualities of these
famous ranges and the sales result
ing therefrom were more than gra-
tifying to Mr.. Croft. Handsome
premiums of elegant and valuable
ware were given to each purchaser
and there were a great many salts
fed ones before the week was over

"PLAYING THE GAME"
Some Straight Talk About Ideals and
Philosophy and Ethics in the
Game of Life.

One doesn't have to be a pessimist
to realize that in our national life
we have as grown men exactly the
same trouble we had as boys-that
we are all of us playing the game to
win, and that winning simply means
overcoming somebody else. The es-
sence of sport is really something
very different-to overcome diff
culties of time and space and all
kinds of physical obstacles. Nature
herself puts plenty of difficulties in
our way. The man who first discov-
cred that, with sail closehauled
and rudder damned hard against
the opposing water, he could sail
almost into the wind must have had
one of the big primordial thrills that
come sometimes into the hearts Of
men; he was advanced by vast eth
mic intervals beyond the man that
had simply sailed his boat faster
than another man. For every win
ner of race there must be a loser;
and when we shout ourselves hoarse
at Yale-Princeton football game it
/ is not so much because our team is
nobly acquitting itself or doing the
| thing that is hard as because it is
beating the other team. So most of
us become "bleacher athletes" sit
ting by and watching the fight; and
what counts is not the game itself,
but the score.
/ wonder how much this is re-
sponsible for the kind of game we
play when we are no longer boys,
in after life, when the whole point
of the game seems to be to beat
some one else. Suppose all of Har-
riman's transcendent genius had
been expended in building up the
best railroad system that could be
made, in vanquishing time and
space, and demonstrating what
could be accomplished by the in
domitable will and purpose and I'M
firing effort of the strong man.
Mightn't the net result have been
something finer and better than
Hartman ever attained, and might
MT he have gone from earth with
some finer memory to take with him
of the world he had lived in than
the thought that he had met Stuy-
vesant Fish and fought him and
beaten him? Must a game be play
ed for the sake of pelf" as Brown
ing once asked. Can't our boys find
something else to inspire them than
the hope of beating another boy? If
a boy can ride his horse over the
fences. and swim across the lake,
and run swiftly, and hit the mark,
and feel his pulse run strong and
true and his nerves and muscles un-
der sure control, does it make him
any more the master Of the world
about him that he can beat some
other boy? Is it reaching the stand
ard. or beating some one to 1t what
really ?-M'Cready Sykes in

WILL NOT INTERFERE
WITH CORPORATION TAX
Resolution in Senate Holding
up Collection First Causes
Furry.
CRy Associated fress)

WASHINGTON. ID. C. June IA
A resolut on introduced in the senate
today by MIR. McCullom. postponins
until January /, the payment of the
corporation tax, the delay OF the Su-
preme Court in passing on its con-
stitutionality for a time, caused a
furry in official circles. The Treasury
expected to collect s27.O0O.000 from
the tax dur ng the present calendar
year which would be expended FOR
the ordinary business of the govern
ment. To be deprived of it wonld
necessitate an issue of three per cent
certificates of Indebtedness or OF
Panama canal bonds.
Late in the afternoon there was a
feeling OF relief when the news spread
that Mr.. Cullom had presented the
resolution by request" and that he
did not intend to press it for consld-
eiation. The President expressed his
emphatic dislpproval of the pan In
volved in the Cullom resolution, as d
also Attorney General Wickersham
The latter said he never had any
doubt of the constitutioDality of the
law imposing the tax.
Financiolly, a situation caused by
the loss of the S27,O00,000, could be
easily met, for the secretary of the
treasury has authority TO issue not
exceeding s200.000,O00 three per cent
certificates of Indebtedness to meet
current expenditures and he likewise
may emit s290.O0O.O00 Panama camel
three ner cent bonds.
Thus far s1.200,000 has been col
lected from the tax.
