BOAT Sinks
MAN GRABS
This Sinking Man Caught at Bovine S
CaudaI Appendage.
Cattle Shipments Cross on Ferry
boat at Forest City.

Messrs Ed Sutton and Geo Fair
banks had a rather exciting time
last week while trying to get their
cattle across the river at LeBeau.
The first load of about 40 head got
over all right. when the captain
thought he could take a larger
load the next time. Then was
when it didn't get over so swim
mingly. The boat sank -slumped
to on one side-when the cattle
were all dumped into the water,
thus saving any of them from be
ing drowned or otherwise injured.
The gentlemen then droye the
rest of their stock to Forest City,
some 80 head, where they we're
successfully and easily crossed
Friday forenoon. We understand
the boat foated about mile down
the river because of the life pres
eryers i'm its cabin before it was
secured to a tree along the shore.
We understand that George was
rescued by his having caught hold
of the caudal appendage of one of
the bovines as it went oyerboard
and thus got to shore.

The town of Pollock had bad
fire last week. This is the third
river town north of Forest City to
get good sized scorch within a
year. We just mention it to
Forest City people, who, to Judge
by appearances, are thinking that
the Lord is not going to let such
calamity befall them. We
will only add the proverb ''the
Lord helps those who help them
selves" by way of comment.

SUNDAY BASE BALL

Because The Press endeavors
to give at times a detailed account
of base ball or other sports in
Forest City on Sundays, it does
not wish it to be understood that
it's editor is endorsing that, or any
thing else that savors OF Sunday
desecration. There are quite a
few people abroad in the land who
think that those who protest or OBJ
ject to Sunday violations, to put it
mildly, s'dont know beams. They
look upon Sunday desecration as
being entirely religious question
and not being under any relig-
ious influence, or not having
anything to do with such
things, they think that they
are consequently freed from
the observance of the Sunday law.
If that were all that there was
at stake in the matter. The Press
would be exceedingly slow OF eau
tious in Juggling the question into
it's editorial columns for discus
sion. But according to our OBJ
servance, the necessity of one day
of rest in every seven is physical
law, condition necessary to the
preservation of life, health and
peace,-peace with individuals.

isn't an absolute. genuine, rest.

Help the Editor.

4 newspaper man is blamed
for whole lot of things he can't
help, says a ex-newspaper friend
OF ours: Such as using seeming
partiality in mentioning visitors,
telling about this one and that
one, leaving others out because
ne didn't happen to know them,
telling about events as he sees
them, etc. He simply prints all
the news he can find. Some peo-
pie inform him about such things
and others do not. An editor
should not be expected to know
the names of all your uncles,
aunts. and cousins, even if be
should see them get on or of the
train Tell US about it. 1t is
news that makes a newspaper,
and every man, woman and
child can be associate editors il
they will. Never apologize when
YOU give this TO the editor, for
if there is one so dead that he
has lost his appreciation of ia
yors, he is dead indeed to every
virtue that imparts value to tht

The Great God,
Public Opinion
Strong Article Taken from the
Cosmopolitan Magazine.

We must get rid of our belief
in the infallibility OF public opin-
ion. Often right, public opinion,
which we Americans worship, is
just as often wrong. Generally
it is not what the unyoiced ma
iority needs, but what the noisy
minority wants.
Public opinion, during the last
days OF the Roman Empire,
killed gladiators in the crowded
amphitheater and stoned the
Asiatic monk, Telemachus, who
leaped within the sandy ring to
protest against this bloodshed.
In one half-century it licensed
Englishmen to kidnap into
slay cry a half million negroes.
1t drove Samuel Johnson 10
use his pen against the American
colonies; it shamed Josiah Quin-
cy because he would not fight q
duel.
From ancient times to modern,
public opinion has made a hero
of the Cesar returning with cap
tive beasts to grace his triumph.
1t has been sired by superstition
and mothered by ignorance. 1t
has approved wars and persecu-
tions. 1t has been absurd in
hoop-skirts and balloon sleeves.
1t has enforced cannibalism, and
it does endorse party loyalty.
Today public opinion enioins
polygamy in Constantinople and
divorce in New York. 1t desfeed
the hemlock for Socrates, the
cross for Christ.
There have been many great
men who have listened tO the
voice of public opinion; but there
has never been one great good
man thai considered it, and the
only lasting public opinion is
that sort which has always had
to end by following the lead o.
the good men.
/ When you have defied popular
folly in little things you will be
strong enough to defy popular
oppression i'm the things that are
wide and deep. When you have
set the dictates uf your own con
science above the tickle praise oi
your neighbors you will be able
to set the welfare of men above
the rewards OF men.
And if you are afraid chat such
a course viii cost you your liv-
ing you may be sure that you
are not very we'll worth keeping
alive.

first the banks and the money
lenders. This premise is so APP
parent that argument is not nee
essary to prove the fact. Oppos-
ed to this is the will of the peo-
pie, expressed in the Constitu-
tion and the laws. Which should
prevail?
THERE Is no FIXED COSsTITU-

thing that resembles a straw, in
the hope to discredit the present
governor. But, by the evidence
of every republican paper in
Idaho for the last ten years.
Hawley is right.
The Boise Statesman-which il

any doubt about 1t, ask Senator
Borah and Congressman French

Law Violated.
PartyDishonest
Political Hysteria and Absurd Re-
publican Buncombe.

A great deal OF hysteria and re-
publican buncombe has been in
dulged in by republican organs
in regard to the cash value as
sessment ordered by Governor
Hawley and the state board OF
equalization. Following the bent
OF a warped political policy, re-
gardless of the fact that the
board OF equalization is a repub-
lican board, and that Governor
Hawley is only nominal men,
ber, the order for a cash yaIua-
tion is charged to Governor
Hawley solely. Ii the new order
OF things works right, which it
is bound to do, these same pa
pers that are now so loud In de-
nunciation of the Governor will
proclaim it republican victory
for constitutional enforcement.
But let that be as it may, the
Governor and the majority oi
the board are right.
For years every assessor in the
state, and every board OF equali.
zation, have been violating the
plain provisions of the Constitu-
tion and the laws of Idaho. Il
the constitution is not right. il
ought to be changed. The Gov.
ernor cannot change it. The
state board of equalization can't
change it. 1t is up to the peo
pie OF Idaho to make the change,
and if they fail to do so they
should not hold it up against the
individuals who have taken a
solemn oath TO support the Con

CONVICT AIDED
IN PEN. BREAK,
GUARD IS SHOT
Charles Smith Taken From
Anamosa Officer After
Latter is Fatally Wounded
and Tied to a Tree.

Anamosa. Aug, 11.--William A.
Hamaker guard at the Iowa peni-
tentiary, was shot and probably fatally
wounded and then dashed to tree,
today when Chas Smitch, convict,
made his escape. The latter and two
other men, who aided him In breaking
away, are being pursued by posse
under direction Of the warden's ONCE.
The method by which Smitch made
his escape, is said to be unique in the
history of the penitentiary. About 8
O'clock this morning some one called
up the prison ONCE over the telephone
and asked permission to see Smitch.
The permission was granted, and the
guards at the quarry, two miles west
OF the prison, where the convict was at
work, were instructed to send him in.
Hamaker was detailed to guard him.
The two men started >on foot, and
when about half mile away, were
suddenly confronted by two other men
who drove up in buggy. One OF the
riders shot. the guard through the
stomach and to make sure that he
could give no warning, tied him to a
nearby tree. Then taking Smitch
into the buggy with them, they drove
on in q westerly direction. Hamaker's
cries we're heard after nearly an hour
and he was rescued and sent to the
prison hospital where at noon he was
said to be dying. The warden i'm
mediately sent a posse In pursuit OF
Smitch and his rescuers.
