Political Passions Of 1874.

There were elements of picturesque
ness and drama In the politics Of the
before the war time which are lack
ing nowadays. Marion Harland tells
In her autobiography Of a Wing rally
which makes the political meetings of
today seem tame, cut and dried af-
fairs. 1t was in 1914, the year Of
sClay's defeat, and feeling ran high.
At that particular time John Tyler
was perhaps the most unpopular man
In the Union. In the progress OF his
review Of national affairs the orator
ut last came to the hated name. In
stantly uprose the majestic figure of
Captain Coclre, The local eccentric,
clad In the scarlet English hunting
coat he invariably wore. "The Lord
have mercy upon the nation!" he
cried. his voice solemn with wrath
and sonorous with the mint juleps for
which the Bell ~was noted. Fellow
citizens. always cry to high heaven
for mercy upon this country when

Nominee for Superintendent of Pub

Idaho has a National reputation
as being the home of the most in.
belligent, the most cultured and the
most progressive women in the nation
One of this class lis the subject of
this sketch, Miss Grace Shepherd,
Republican nominee for Superintenr
dent of Public Instruction. A native
of Ottumwa, Iowa, she received her
grade and high school education in
her native town, whose school sys-
TEN is one of the best lin the state and
comparable to the best in the country.
After finishing the high school course
in her native town where she par
ticularly distinguished herself as an
earnest student, she entered the
Hasting College at Tasting Nebraska
from which institution she won the
degree of A. B. and the highest COM
mendation of the faculty as the re-
suit of her work. Aspiring to at
tain the highest efficiency in hel
profession and evidently realizing that
pedagogical work was her mission in
life, she entered the State Normal.
from which institution She was also
graduated with highest honors. She
has had varied and extensive ex-
perience as teacher, and her tech
nical training and practical experien
ce give her superior ability and fit

She was teacher of English in the
Lewiston State Normal and is now
beginning her seventh year as teacher
of English in the Boise High School
at each of which instl buttons she has
established an enviable reputation
as a teacher of English and her
friends among superintendent, teach
ers and students are legion. She has
kept abreast with the progress of her
profession and almost every summer
DIS at the University of Chicago seek
ing further knowledge and new ideas.
1t lis safe to say that if elected to the
office of State Superintendent of ub.
bic Instruction she will not only re-
fleet honor upon herself, but upon the
