especially of those Of public SER
wants. Doubtless this criticism
is too strong and too indiscrfm-
mate, yet there is some justice
in it. Too frequently there is a
brusqueness, even a rudeness, in
speech and manners, and public
officials in some places are much
given to it. OF course one real

Probably the many large gifts
bestowed upon the Chicago Uni
versity and other similar institu-
tions by j, ID. Rockefeller are re-
garded as great benefit to the
cause of higher education, and
doubtless they are Nevertheless
the educational benefit is more
than offset in the public mind
by the deep seated conviction
that very much of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's immense fortune has been
gained by legally questionable
and morally wrong business meth
DDS, by the unfair crushing of
honest competition, and by charg-
ing the public extortionate prices
for gasoline, oil and other Stan
dard commodities.

Perhaps that Italian or French
count who manages to get a good
deal of unenviable notoriety in
Chicago may prove a blessing in
disguise. Apparently he is Meth
er better or worse than the aver
age foreign impecunious noble
man that comes across to marry
American dollars. The principal
difference is that whereas the ma
jority are shrewd enough to hide
their faults until they get upon
their own heath he parades them
at first hand. But in so doing
he will assuredly prove a blessing
if it leads rich American girls to
think twice before exchanging
their money for empty titles and
spendthrift, unprincipled hus-
bands.

Some men stand idly by wait
ing for opportunities to come a.
long. OF that class is the business
man who, because he does not
advertise, has plenty Of time to
look out of the store window
for a chance customer. But the
progressive man searches after
opportunities, and he finds them
and uses them to his own advance
ment. That is what the business
man does who keeps his business
constantly in the public mind by
advertising generously and wise

his foresight and fertility of mind

When there is a disposition to
complain because of the hard
things that one sometimes comes
up against, it would be well to
think Of the many evils from
which one is exempt. That
thought carried through the new
year will make the path easier
every step of the way.

The assembling of the various
state legislatures will reveal
many political changes. There
will probably be, as usual, con-
siderable amount of legislation,
good and bad. But the one thing
legislators should keep constantly
in mind is the interest of the
common people and not that of
the privileged few. Faithfulness
to trust reposed and regard for
the common good demand that.

WHAT HAS HE READ?

What has the New Time man
read?
We all know what Pat had
red.
When applying to the court for
naturalization papers, the Judge
asked him if he had read the
Constitution of the United States.
Pat answered "No Sor.'
Have you read the Declare
ton of independence" "No
Sor."
"Have you read the Bible?"
"No Sor."
The Judge becoming irritated,
asked What have you read?"
II have red hair on the top of
me head, Sor."
1t the New Timer had read
the Statutes, he would have found
that the Legislature had provid-
ed for village attorney to adj
wise village Boards and give adj
vice on village matters; a county
attorney to advise the county
Board and give advise on county
matters; an attorney general to
advise the different state officers
on state matters; and he would
rhRve known that it was Just as
unreasonable to ask the attorney
general whether there was any
difference between the Village
Board of Mountain Home RENT
ING a room to meet in at $1,000
per month, or meeting in their
own room and paying $1,000 per
month for light, heat and janitor
work, and have expected an ans
wer, as it would be to ask Presi-
dent Taft and expect him to re-
ply. If the Legislature had pre-
scribed among the duties of the
attorney generals office, the ans
wering of every tom-fool ques-
ton asked by every Tom, Dick,
and Harry, it would take an ar,
my Of clerks to attend to the cor
,respondence.
l believe it was at one time,
before we had village or county
attorneys, the Law or at least
the custom, for the Attorney
General to answer all questions
asked of him. But some one
wrote to him asking the distance
from Omaha to Ogden and he
answered very courteOusly that
it was 1895 miles. The questione
wrote thanking him for the in
formation and begged leave to
ask him another question, "How
far is it from Ogden to Omaha 2"
He got the very prompt reply |
that any fool should know that |
it was 1885 miles, the same as
it was from Omaha to Ogden.
WhereupOn the questioner wrote
thanking him very profusely for
the information and begging him
not to feel irritated by the ques-
ton, for really, he did not know
before that it would work out
that way, as it did not always do
so.
For instance, it was only about
a week from Christmas to New
Years, but it was nearly a year
from New Years to Christmas.
Then the Legislature very wise
ly provided for local attorneys to
answer local questions. Had they
not so provided, and had the
Attorney General answered the
New Timer, to the effect that as
the taxpayers had to pay the $40.
either way, it made no difference
whatever, the New Timer would
undoubtedly have followed it up
with the equally intelligent ques-
ton whether Section 255 regulat-
ing actions of Village Boards, also
regulates the actions of people
NOT members Of the Board.
But / digress. The question
Of moment is WHAT DOES THE

SIN THE THEATRES

the life of the Eskimo, polar bear,
walrus, and musk-ox in the frozen
North; also moose and deer in the
Forests, salmon and trout in the rivers
fish and game preserves, and many
species of wild birds in their native
haunts.
The hunt and capture of the enor-
nous beasts of the north country,
with lasso and camera is the most
remarkable achievement in the world
Of sport. These famous Arctic pic
lures were taken by Paul Rainey, the
noted hunter and sportsman on his
recent hunting trip to the Polar re-
gions. They are the most wonder
full and the only ones of their kind
in existence, portraying the manner
in which the Eskimo lives and the
way in which he secures his food, viz.
his use of the harpoon. The captur-
ing alive of polar bears, walrus and
rnusk-oxen by means of the lasso
and harpoon is clearly shown, togeth-
wonderful country lying north Of the
Arctic circle, including the Midnight
Sun, the ice. capped mountains of
Greenland, etc. The many dangers
encountered by the expedition, espe-
cially that Of being caught and jam
med in the ice packs and bergs, and
the freeing the ship by use of dyna-
mite. are also illustrated.
Richard E. Follett, the widely
known naturalist and sportsman will
lecture on the pictures, giving graph
ic description of the expedition and
the results accomplished. Mr.. Follett
knows the forests and wild life as an
author knows his own books. He
speaks in an informal manner, in
structing and entertaining his hearers
and never failing to capture and hold
his audience from start to finish.
Many of the animals captured, includ-
ing 'Slver King" the largest polar
bear ever taken alive in captivity and
a herd of musk-oxen, the only one of
their kind in this country are now in
the Bronx zoo, New York city.
These pictures have been received
with great enthusiasm by all who
have seen them. At the exhibition
given at the New York Hippodrome
on March 26 the audience pronounced
them the most wonderful and inter-
esting collection of motion pictures
ever shown to the public. They are
bound to appeal to all, both sports
men and non-sportsmen alike.
The afternoon lecture will treat on
forest, bird and marine life. especial
ly and win be given specially for the
parents and children. The perform
ance will not begin until 3:45 in order
to enable the school children to wit
ness the the entire exhibition.

REMOVAL or
DELLA CAUSES
MUCH ANGER

Like rats from a sinking ship, the
local Italian citizens are deserving the
ranks of the Republican machine.
They are very indignant over the fact
that Judge Carl Foster of the police
court removed Dan Della from the
position of interpreter and put in his
place Luke PetruscheI.
The wise ones say that if this was
intended as a piece of political STRAIT
egg, 1t was a mistake. Della has Il
big Following among his countrymen
and his friends declare he always
gave satisfaction as an interpreter On
election day he was on hand when
the polls opened was busy all day get
ting out the vote. Petruschen does
not control any votes, but it known
as one of the younger element
aong the Italian residents.
Della was identified with the older
faction and it is charged that his
services were dispensed with because
the Republican rulers desired to cur
ry favor with the young men. The
court officials declare Della was dis
charged because he was late one or
two mornings, but Delia's friends say
this was simply a finsy excuse to
get rid of him and make a place for
Petruschell. AT any rate there is
discord in the ranks of the italian
voters and the Republican party will
undoubtedly lose heavily at the next
election,
