Woman for Mayor.

Newell, Kansas, has a woman
for Mayor, Mrs. Ella Wilson.
The New Officer is attracting no
small attention due to the un-
usual occurrence of a lady being
elected to such a position.
The first session called of the
Newly Elected Council resulted
IN 4 non-appearancc of all the
male members.
Mrs. Mayor Wilson sought adj

Consumers. The Company at
hrst decided to fight the case but
before the day set for trial arrived
they concluded to be good so paid
the fine of $1,000 with cost OF

1t is regretable that large oper-
ating Companies take the law in
their own hands determined to
hight Il case, not because they are
not guilty. but merely because
they think the prosecution has'nt
the necessary evidence to convict
1t ought not to be. Companies
should be willing to abide by the
requirements OF the law as tc
whether they are producing pure
food and giving full weight and
not whether or no the prosecut
ing parties merely have the evid
ence.
1t will be good thing if the
Inspector will weigh up a few
sacks of flower labelled 4S to sc
lbs. He will probably find then
A to 46 lbs. It is argued tha
two lbs. OF flour is Withheld to pay
Tor the sack, butit will give better
satisfaction if the full weight O

the sack added. Then the peopl,
will know what they are getting
for their money.

the State of Idaho and the West
in general than today.
Proud OF the fact that, while
Eastis suffering for rain, the State
of Idaho is announcing, Nation
wide, plenty of moisture and a
most bounteous harvest of every
thing that grows within her bor-
ders, aud she offers greater in
ducements and firmer place for
investment than Eastern States
can possibly do.
Her great system OF irrigation
supplied by Mountain streams,
which How permanently. and
also those which furnish a large
volume OF water at periods, giving
ample amount for storage purp-
oses insures the necessary mois-
ture at the time needed. These
natural and everlas ting resources
cannot help but attract the wise
and careful investor and home
seeker.
The fact that the Contrasts so
strongly drawn between the con-
ditions in the East and West this
year will turn many people this
way if our citizens will only do
little vertising of the excellent
crops raised and the other natur-
al undeveloped resources await
ing the hand of man to make
them feeders Of revenue and supp
orters OF thousands of people.
A good example is given us by
our Neighbouring TownGooding
on the North West Of us. The
business people and the two News
Papers have united and are en-
deavouring to call particular at
tentlon to the excellent condition
prevailing here in Idaho this year,
with the hope of bringing thous-
ands into the State who may
otherwise remain away.
The People OF the East are
waiting forsomething of the kind
but they are holding back for fear
OF spending theirmoney unprofit-
able, but as soon as we can show
them we really have something
they will loosen up and their
wealth will be utilized by turning
the Desert into watered fields.
the trackless plain into network
OF Electric and Steam Railways.
the continuous streams turning
out power for lighting and heat
ing purposes, the. everlasting hills
being converted into active mines.
until our Country may become
a veritable garden of productive
ness and wealth.
These desirable things which the
world so mich covet, coupled
with the cool air, fresh breezes
and pure water so abundant in
these Mountain areas will surely
draw a great population to us
and become part ofour number.
BY a continuous effort along
che line of making the world
acquainted withus and our Coun-
try can we hope to grow and be
serviceatle to humanity.
This year we have more than
the hand OF man assisting us IN
establishing ourselves and why
should we not help ourselves.
We will be favored with County
Fairs, State Fairs, Dry Farming
| Congresses and Land Expositions
at which we may or may not be
represented just as we choose.
To be there means an introd-
uction to the world to which they
wlllbow in cognizance. respecting
our acquaintance and in turn
therefor will pay us visit that
will rebound to the pleasure and
profit of all. Idaho should be ad.
yertised and in doing so we can
not help but benefit ourselves.
Let's help ourselves any way.

increase since the auto came into
vogue.
Fifteen years ago less than To-
600 Americans spent their summers
abroad, but year after year the pop
ularity Of Europe grew until the
figures have reached total Of 4OO,-
900, and it is safe to say that fully
one-half of these use automobiles in
touring the country.
The wonderful roads of Europe
are the attraction, and let me say
right here that we cannot or never
will have roads of this character un-
til we spend hundreds of millions Of
dollars, and years and years of hard
intelligent labor.
In the first place the European
roads are built, not simply made as
in this country, and after they are
completed they are as smooth as
billiard table. The French lead
the world in road building and there
is scarcely lane or by-way in all
France that is not in a first class
condition.
{ In building new road the French
.evacuate from 10 to IL feet of earth
and then they put down solid
foundation of rock and mortar, on
top of this the road proper is
built. After the road is completed
the government takes care Of it by
appointing official road men to
watch and, repair even the smallest
rut or hole. These men have such
an easy task that one man often
cares for ten miles of road.
Besides the excellent roads the
automobilist is not Handicapped by
obnoxious speed laws. One can
drive as fast as one pleases, only
don't hit any one. is the French law
in a nutshell, and dare say there
are fewer accidents in France than
in one of our states like New York.
Nearly every American goes to
Europe for enjoyment, the men to
forget business cares and the women
to shop, but after all / notice that
there is always a great cheer when
the Statue of Liberty" is sighted
and one and all feel they are better
Americans when they step ashore.

Reform
By w. G. Van D.

Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle;
/ sometimes think that when peo-
pie start out to reforming others,
that they start in at the wrong end
of the game.
We frequently hear, for example,
of reformed burglars, ETC., but did
any one ever hear of a reformed
policeman? And yet God knows
we need him.
1t is an unfortunate fact that
while the material to be reformed is
plentiful and in urgent need; the
means of reforming are few, badly
organized, and, except in rare in
stances, poorly equipped for tn e
work.
To reform something. according
to the popular conception, Is
to bring that something into con-
formity with the then existing
code Of ethics, or morality as the
case may be; but is that real reform?
To cause a man to be something
that even his own perverted nature
tells him he was not meant to be-. is
to re-make perhaps but not to re-
form.
If man has in him single germ
of good; then the true reform would
be to teach him to slough off the
.overcoat of evil that has grown over
1t and to cultivate and cause to grow
larger the germ of good that is in
him. This germ of goodness which
exists in most men, perhaps in all,
must be found and studied; the man s
mental and physical condition must
be taken into account, and some
glimpse, at least, must be had of his
inner, on spiritual nature, before
anything can be done in the way of
reform.
After a thorough knowledge of
the man, the next important fact to
look into would be the mans past
associates. This is important espec-
tally in all cases of weak mentality.
The work of reforming which is
essentially a work to be done for
Gods sake and not for present gain,
must be done by experts who love
the work and who can regard their
subjects even though outcasts, as
still members Of the human brother
hood.
The reason I used the word ex-
perts, is that, if a reformer has only
superficial knowledge, he is apt to
look at his subjects like the lower
grade Of missionaries who think that
they have reformed savage, when

Americas S
Playground
By II. r.
By II. r.

Europe is often called the play
ground of America, and as SOC, 900
to 100000 Americans spend their
summer vacations abroad, it would
seem that the title is fairly be-
slowed.
| have heard scores of good
Americans remark that they don't
see why people go to Europe when
we have everything that Europe has
right here in our own country"
but as rule these remarks emanate
from persons who have never Wis
tied the Old World, or if they have,
they did SO in Cooks Tourist
fashion.
While it is true that we have our
Rocky Mountains wi ith scenery
equal if not superior to the famous
Alps, also our Palm Beach with a
climate that puts the Rivere to
shame, and bathing beaches that
stand head and shoulders above Os-
tend, Dieppe or Trouville, still
there is something in the Old World
that fascinates Americans altho it is
rather hard to describe just what
that. something really is.
Some would call it the "atmos-
phere, others would describe it as
temperament" but whatever name
one gives it, it is there and it is
something we cannot get in our
own country.
Personally, / would call it free
dom,'' for over in Europe there are
few if any freak laws whereby a
small minority attempt to dictate to
the majority. Don't misunderstand
the above and get the idea that
there is no law in Europe for, there
is plenty of it but these laws are
nearly as old as the country itself
and were not ground out in night
by an overworked legislature or
congress.
European law makers do not at
tempt to pass laws that will affect
the freedom of the public, conse-
quently you find more freedom in
many European monarchies than in
our own republic.
As an example | would cite the
fact that in our country many cities
put the ban on Sunday baseball or
Sunday amusements while on the
continent Sunday is like big holi-
day. 1t is the one day for the
workingman and he certainly makes
the most Of it. The race courses,
theatres, concerts and cafes are all
open, and / dare say mo law maker
has the courage to even propose
closing them. / am not an advocate
for the free and easy Sunday and /
am not writing this in Justification
of same, but / would be more Than
hypocrite if / did not acknowledge
/ enjoyed it as did nearly all Of the
good Americans / met.
/ guess the old saying that no
man is so good but what he has
little bad in him, !" is true, and prob
ably that is why SO many go to Eu-l
rope every summer, for over there
they can get that trait of badness
out of their system without fear of
what their neighbors might say.
am also of the opinion that the
automobile has great deal to do
with Europe's popularity for travel
statistics show remarkable in
