THE EDITORS

These are the keen, wide-awake
fellows. Ever working for the good
of the community in which they cast
their lot, usually unselfish, but often
imposed upon, l believe the average
editor is cussed and misunderstood
more than any other business man.
He is the best informed man in the
town; he winks and turns his head
and smiles at the stories that reach
aim and chuckles with Carlyle:
Poor human nature He learns
to understand the goodness, badness
and weakness as few men do. In ev-
cry community your Mr.. Editor
knows whose. Who better than any
one. He is the man who! depends
upon his eyes and head. These are
his principal tools. In Idaho Falls
DR.. Scarborough has had the pleasure
of attending to the wives of the edi-
tors and their wives of the three
papers there, all of whom know the
value and comfort of proper fitted
glasses.
Other editors he has fitted with
glasses are: J.. w. Jones and wife of
the Rigby Star, also w. E.. Wheeler
and wife, formerly editor of the Ida
no Falls Register.
These people must be particular
about their eyes-they cannot afford
to take chances or experiment with
them. If you are particular about
your eyes, or your childrens eyes, it
would well pay you to make the trip
to Idaho Falls and consult this rel
able eye-sight specialist. No charge
is made for the examination. Five

of San Francisco. DR.. Scarborough

REV. EDWARDS WEDDING ami
VERSARY ..

Last Saturday the End of December,
was the tenth anniversary of the
marriage of MIR. and Mrs. C. A. Ed
wards, and they invited two or three
friends to come in and eat turkey
with them. Ts
| It SO happened that a dictaphone
or something was working that day,
and about seventy-five other people
heard about the day being the tenth
of its kind, and they descended upon
the parsonage early in the evening
when host and guests were having an
after-dinner chat. Rudely enough
they entered without knocking, and
stacked presents on the tables, and
their wraps on the beds just as if
they had come to stay.
They cracked jokes and showered
congratulations and compliments on
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards and son Jonn,
and made them feel that they are ap-
preciated in town. When they had
stayed nearly long enough they all
departed, taking their wraps with
them from off the beds, but leaving
all the presents, bread-mixers, jump
ing-jacks and bric-a-brac on the ta-
bles.

TINE MCNAMARA CONFESSION

OluEe our IdSL lSouc lAc MSA>ou@A"e
at Los Angeles have withdrawn their
plea Of not guilty and entered a plea
of guilty of dynamiting the Los An
geles Times, and the Lewellyn Iron
Works. They did it because they
were guilty and knew that the EVIL
dence against them was conclusive
and overwhelming. s s
This being the case their confess
sion has the disagreeable features
that would attend conviction-that
is, they yielded when they had to.
And it has the convincing effect Of
confession, in that 1t clears forever
the doubt that would have existed in
peoples minds if they had been tried
and pronounced guilty.
Their confession came as a dis
tinct surprise to the world, and was
read and discussed perhaps by more
people and with more interest than
anything else that has happened
since the destruction Of the Spanish
fleets at Manila and Santiago.
1t marks the beginning, or at least
the recognition, of new kind of
warfare that is being carried On un-
der cover and In times of apparent
peace. A kind of warfare that is
condemned by the world at large, and
recognized nowhere as a legitimate
means of enforcing rights.
A week ago 1t was not generally
known that such things were being
done. One half of the public was
telling the other half that these ex-
plosions were due to something else;
that nobody of intelligence, would re-
sort to such methods. But An the
confession of the McNamaras the
other half'of the people are given in
formation that few can doubt, and
Detective Burns whose statements
about the case have been so discred-
tied, has risen in the estimation of
millions of people. He assures us
now that other startling disclosures
will soon be forthcoming, and the
public mind is anxious to receive
them.
q Time for Thought and Reelection
g. When such things are coming to
light, many hars hthings are 3, said,
and many friends part company. The
surprises on every hand lead people
to draw new lines in business and So
cially.t 1t is good time to read and
think. Not a good time to express
all that one thinks. In the heat OF
anger and the attendant emphatic
way of saying things, people are apt
Ito be harsh in expressions, and not
temper them with moderation and
ENERGY. A month from now will be, q
better time to talf, the same princi-
pie applying to individuals that ap-
plies to nations and which is respon.
sible for treaties drawn at The Hague
that provide that no action be taken
and no judgment rendered until after
the lapse Of twelve months from the
time of the injury to the complain.
