A Prophet Without Honor.

All there is to Vardaman's agi
tation of the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment is his unsupported
prophecy and dark, gloomy and
foreboding prediction that the
time is coming when the negro will
try to get back into politics.
ga prophet" says Mr.. Dooley,
"is man who foretells nothing
but trouble"
The description fits Vardaman
to nicely. He is always pro-
phesying trouble, and never sees
any happiness for us. He fore
casts the rain clouds but can't be-
hold the sunshine even when Old
Sol is high in the heavens.
jeremiah JeemS and his lamenta-
tions, like the poor, are always
with us. He is a regular killjOy,
Mother Carey's chichen lowering
over the political seas, and we
verify believe that if he would ever
give utterance to one optimistic
thought his followers would drop
dead with astOnishment.
But after all, it is a good old
wOrld-the best old world we have
ever knOwn-and somehow or 9th
er we manage to get along toIera-
bly, well in spite of Vardaman's
disapprOval of the manner in which
it's affairs are being conducted.
One Of the most blessed traits Of
the American people is that they
never take their prophets seriously
and in this respect Vardaman is no
exception to the rule. He is not
only prophet without honor in
his own commonwealth, but in all
other commonwealths as we'll, for
he has not yet succeeded in con-
vincing any considerable number
of intelligent people that the black
peril is about to swoop down upon
us.
Only few months ago the fran
tic and fanatical folk who always
follow false prophets were declar-
ing that James J. Jeffries was the
white mans hope; that if he should
be knocked out of the ring at Reno
by Jack Johnson, the smoke col
Ored bruiser, it would be calam-
ity to the Caucasian race. Well,
the niger knocked out the pseudo
champion, the self,appointed de
fender of the Anglo Saxon suprem-
acy, but somehow or other the
world has been moving Iserenely
along ever since that memorable
event, with nary a ripple to dis

AT ODDS ON HALLEY'S COMET.
Astronomers, Meeting at Cambridge,
Disagree on It's Composition.

rom the BOSTON lranSsrlpt-
In spite OF the time and attention given
to the study of Halleys comet and the
observations made at widely divergent
points during its appearance last spring,
the members of the Astronomical and As
trophy sical Society of America who are
meeting at Cambridge are at odds as TO
the composition of its tail. The discussion
of the papers on this subject brought
forth more differences OF opinion than
were provoked by any other of the scien-
tific considerations.
Ferdinand Ellerman. who told of the ex-
petition OF members of the society to
Hawaii for the purpose of photographins
the comet. and who said that photographs
were made by day and by night from the
time of the comets first appearance un-
til just before il disappeared, contended
that cyanogen was the principal gas in
the composition of the comets tai; IN
this contention he was supported by T..
r. Barnard, who gave a ten-minute paper
on the motion of the particles In the tail
of the comet.
A. Fowler Of London, another of the
astronomers to present a paper on the
comet. maintained, however, that carbon
monoxide was pre-eminent in the tail.
No apparent agreement In the matter can
be reached unless considerably more time
and money shall be spent in thorough
compilation and study of the records OBJ
tanned on the subject BY many astrono-
mers: the question of going 10 this addi-
tional expense has not been decided. The
fact that the earth did not pass through
the tail of the comet was not discussed.

IL possible for US TO believe that there
are those far more deserving OF success
than We: the others hold our mirrors up
10 nature and enable US to act with
sounder judgment and maturer eonsidera-
ton.
There are those. however. who will for
ever believe themselves more sinned
against than SHINING. who will whimper
along the way because fate has not dis
tributed its favors equally and who will
steadfastly refuse to hold themselves re-
sponsible in any way for their failure
to make good" 1t is so much more con-
venient to charge our own lack OF abil-
ity TO the account of some one else. and
by so doing think to leave our pages
clear to make fresh start. Excuses,
however are rarely accepted as explana-
tions and explanations themselves fail
when their purpose Is to cover up the
real reasons of failure instead OF discios-
ing them. Let US he true TO ourselves
even in our mistakes. IL is not to our
credit that we should blame others Tor
our misfortunes when i'm our hearts we
know that God has made our shoulders
broad enough to bear their burdens.

With this number The Times passes
its fifth milestone, and enters upon
the sixth year. Five years have made
marked changes in the paper in both
appearance and purpose and it is with
a hearty determination to make the
next five count for much more that
the editor of the Times enters into the
portals of new newspaper year. 1t
is not the purpose of the Times to
blow its horn, because that part is I'M
necessary while there is SO much of
valuable information which can be
published concerning the advantages
of this tract All that the paper can
do to advance the growth of the city
and tract will be done just as heartily
as in the past regardless of personali-
| ties. The paper has been Loyalty sup
ported by the citizens in the past five
years and it will aim to merit every
dollar which they place with il
in the way of business
From make-shift plant with which
the paper first started the plant has
grown to the extent that few news
papers in the state can boast of better
equipment. Every dollar made in the
past years has been put back into the
building up of a better paper and into
the equipment of an up-to-date jol
| printing outfit. The Times in entering
it's sixth year has no hesitation ovel
the prospects and believes that in thi!
city can be found greater opportun
tiles and more loyal citizens than il

Several of the higher railroad Of

feet that while near Rogerson the Off
Gals observed a cow mired in a slough
and with true western generation for
beef lassoed the animal around
the horns and used the locomotive to
pull the COW out of it's difficulty, one
case where short haul seems to be as
good as long one. The only touch
to the tale needed is information that
Bancroft hurled the lasso personally.

CASE IS DECIDED
State Engineer Makes Adverse
Ruling on Clear Lakes.
HAZARD AS CONTESTANT WINS
PRELIMINARY FIGHT.
Street Railway Company VIII Appeal
the Case to the District Court
This Spring.

The first legal battle in the contest
for the Clear Lakes power site was
won by Hazard and his unknown as
sociates when. State Engineer Steven
son, lately resigned, decided that the
Twin Falls Street Railway and Power
company, purchasers of the site, had
not completed the required amount
Of work in order to hold the title.
Attorney Guthrie, for the company,
stated that the decision was a total
surprise, inasmuch as the state engi-
neer had but short time before as
sured him that the company's evidence
of good faith would be taken into con-
sideration.
Appeal from the engineers decision
will be made to the district court,
where it is expected that the unfair
decision will be reversed. The rail-
way company feels confident that on
facts of the case its claim will be
validated.

Property owners along First street
from Washington to Madison, are re-
joicing over the completion of the
work of redressing the street with
bitulithic pavement by the Warren
Construction company. When the new
Madison street bridge is finished the
improvement will make First street
the most desirable means of approach
to the viaduct, and the business men
feel that the $4,000 spent on the
street has been well repaid. Before
the resurfacing of the street was or
dered by the executive board it was
almost impossible. The old wooden
blocks, under the heavy traffic to and
from the east side over the Madison
bridge were unevenly, and as a conse-
quence the street presented series of
ridges and ruts.-Portland Journal

while the two wings OF the party were
not in harmony. The fight, which end

regular Republicans standing togeth-

til the speaker is deposed when his
successor is finally picked out and

The efforts of the water commission
in reducing the water rates nearly
One-third for residences will be great
ly appreciated by the waterusers OF
the city. While the cut in the rates
may not be as deep as some Of the
people desire, The Times feels that
the commission has handled most
difficult matter for the two parties and
has given each side a fair deal If
at the end of another three years the
profits'of the company show up strong
as before, still another cut can be
made with no injustice to the water
company, but at present the water
patrons should be pleased that the
residence rate has been cut to the
point where it is not burdensome to
