Ed 6. SMITH BUILT
THE FALLS GRADE

hd S.SmIth is candidate for the
Office he now holds as County Sur-
Veyor, having held the office one
term only. He has brought TO the
discharge of his duty efficiency
iad diligence. and those who know
bear testimony to the fact that
Mr.. Smith has dignified the office
and made it of Importance in
county affairs. Before his advent
II was the custom to employ out
side engineers in all important
public works undertaken in Lincoln
County, but that has not been the
case IN the past two years of his
service as county surveyor. The
1lrst, or among the first. impor-
tant work undertaken by him was
the construction of the Shoshone
Falls grade, which is pointed to as
a notable achievement. He has had
responsible duties also in the
construction of all the new Snake
river bridges, being in charge of at
least two of them just completed.
His claims upon the consideration
IF the voters in the primaries next |
Tuesday are of the strongest sort
lot particularly as a good fellow,
which he is-but as a good and
public servant.

Representative-K. G. Phelps, Of

One or two of the leading candi-
dates on the two-county ticket
state that they are in favor of the
three-county division plan, while
others on the same ticket declare
themselves, although Democrats,
as supporters of Senator Borah.
The Senator places his reliance,
however, wholly upon the support |
of his own party in the Legisla-
ture and not upon the fair prom /
ises that butter no political par
ships.
It would be impossible for any
Borah Democrats to give the great /
Senator any support that would
count except by voting for the
candidates fer the Leg
islature. There are thousands of
Democrats who are willing and
as are all Republicans of
Idaho, to see Borah returned to-
the Senate, but they can secure his
election in no other way than by
supporting Republican candidates
FOR the Legislature. It is folly to
.hink for a moment that any Dem
Jcfat elected TO Che Legislature of
IDAHO at this time would vote for
/ Republican United States Senator.

COLLEGE BOYS IN SUMMER
BASEBALL.

The National Collegiate Athletic asso.
citation seems TO be developing liberal
mind on the subject of summer base
ball" concerning which in times past
much nonsense has been talked Tho
average intelligence has never fathomed
a reason why it is any worse for a lad
to play ball on salary, in vacation, than
it is to earn his college expenses by
peddling books or waiting on table
Boston Transcript.
The trouble is that the colleges tried
to be so upright that they leaned over
backward in the matter of baseball play
ing. Doubtless the original intent OF
the action by the colleges was to pre-
vent the paying of money by colleges
to secure players to represent them on
the diamond, while ostensibly those base
ball experts were students regularly en-
rolled. Hiring baseball players was not
considered reasonable or fair No fault
could be found with that position be-
cause it is manifestly an injustice for
one college to strive for baseball SUI
premacy with hired men while other col
leges are permitting only bona flde stu.
dents to represent them in the contests.

mand that not only should players be

chamber methods on one pretense and
another, and there will be no foreseeing
where maybe sensible expediency will
leave off and abuse begin.
1t is true that courts should have some
discretion about the exclusion of the
idly curious from the hearing of trials
where the evidence is of nature likely
to be communicating to the public NOR
ais. But the responsibility in such a
case is, first with the public itself that
should not let morbid and prurient Gu
riosity run away with it, and, second,
with the courts, that, when the public
does begin to clamor for admission
should exercise the power that the law
now gives them to exclude the multi
tude.
But all this may be accomplished with
out making the Richeson trial secret"
1t may be accomplished and still leave
the court room doors open, in a broad
sense, to people that have right to
enter and will not abuse that right

Personally DeBoer's Satisfactory.

In his formal carefully prepared adj
dress before the DeBoer cub in Mont
pelier Wednesday evening of last week
Mr.. DeBoer declared that some papers
like the Bristol Herald, White River
Junction Landmark and Ludlow Tribune
had sought through their editorial col
umns to prove that his coming into the
campaign was criticism of the meas
ures used by other candidates for the
office, both successful and otherwise"
As respects The Landmark in its ut
terances regarding the candidacy Of Mr.
DeBoer. it pleads not guilty to this
charge of Mr.. DeBoer. 1t does not know
nor care what measures were used by
other candidates, both successful and
otherwise" What The Landmark has
seen to criticise in Mr. DeBoer is his
desire for the Office of governor, as we
interpret his actions to date, and yet
his continuous attempt to make it APP
pear that he is running just to please
the people of the state. Mr.. DeBoer, in
common with every other citizen of the
state, has a right to seek the office of
governor, but he should come out fiat
footed and without hesitation or reser-
walton and say so. Admitting that Mr.
DeBoer is a man of exceptional talent,
equipment and ability, the state of Yer
mont, as an organization of the SOW
eIeign people is his superior as it is
OF any other individual. Therefore it

openly seeking to be the states chief

Made Mentally a
Criminal
By GERALD FERGUSON
Copyright by American Press Assoc
citation. 1911.

John williams awoke with terri
Bile headache. He had dire remem-
brance of having been the night before
with two friends of his, Borland and
Tucker, of taking a number OF
drinks and smoking a large quanti-
ty of cigars. Suddenly he remember
ed something else. He and his friends
had been discussing the various ways
criminals gave themselves away. Will
liams had wondered why they did so,
averring that he would suppose every
faculty they possessed would be call
ed out to shield them from detection
and punishment.
This is as far as Williams remem-
bered. From that time the liquor be
had taken affected him so far that he
had no recollection of what had trans
pired. He did not even know how he
had got to bed. The experience was
a novel one to him. for he had never
been intoxicated before. He was en-
ployed In bank and so trusted was
he that he was made keeper of the
safe lock combination in order that
when the cashier was absent the
funds might be available.
Something under Williams pillow
rendered his head uncomfortable.
Putting his hand there to discover
what 1t was. he pulled out an oblong
parcel done up in brown paper He
opened it and was surprised to see a
package of bank bills. Then he re-
membered something more. He had
made a bet with Tucker that he would
take a sum of money from the bank,
keep it month, meanwhile proceed
ing with his duties at the institution
without betraying his secret Then
the party had gone to the bank. Will
nams had opened the safe and had
taken the money.
All this he recalled while looking at
the package and was Mortified at what
he had done If detected what avail
would It be for Borland and Tucker to
swear that the money had been taken
on a bet and was TO be returned! He
was in the position Of a criminal. His
first thought was to telephone to the
bank that he was iii and would not
be there that day. But the loss would
be discovered. and his absence would
cause suspicion that he had taken the
money. No; he must get up and go
to the bank as usual. He plunged into
a cold bath. dressed, drank cup Of
coffee and, leaving the bills locked in
an old trunk in a storeroom, went to
face the officers and clerks Of the bank.
Meanwhile he had been thinking
that he would confess the whole af

my position, what must be the state of
q real criminal?"
There was no sleep for Williams
that night, He dreaded to go to the
bank that day and dare not remain
away. He went to his desk at the usu
al hour. and as he sat down, though he
looked at no one and no one looked at
him, he felt that battery Of eyes was
upon him. During the day trifie OF
comfort came to him, since he was
treated by all In the bank with the
same friendliness as before the rob-
berry. But there was q steady wear
upon his nerves. and when he reached
his room he felt that he had lost much
ground on this first day of his trial.
He now knew that he could not
stand the strain for thirty days nor
for half that time. He must find a
way to return the money, covering his
tracks at the same time. He was so
unstrung that he could not, dare not
use any method that occurred to him.
On the fifth day he went to the pres
ident and confessed that he had been
tempted to steal the money, making no
mention OF his bet
The omission saved him. His friends
told of the bet. and the president I'M

most any one would help a fellow out
of such fix. and their testimony
would be taken with grain Of salt"
No: his only hope was to carry out
the conditions of his bet successfully
He entered the bank, assuming as
careless an air as he could command.
Nothing seemed amiss with those as
sembled there. Williams sat down at
his desk and went to work. About II

The st. Adams Messenger gives the fol.

"This is simply another batch of the

to prove the monumental folly Of hedge

suade some of the wise men that gather
at Montpelier biennially that there are
more things in heaven and earth than

ball for money. But the colleges do not
think OF barring professional musi-
clans from college representation. No
more should they bar students who play

Upon a Christmas day,
Through frosty woods and hoary fields
A soldier rode away.
She watched him through the falling snow,
A young and lovely maid.
In milky pearls and flowing robes
OF velvet green arrayed
With rumors OF the distant wars
The months went slowly by
Till once again the Christmas bells
Were peaing to the sky;
And, walking in the lonely wood
A bush the maiden found
With thorns as sharp as little swords
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And wove a wreath to wear
OF scarlet berries, bright and gay,
And set it on her hair.
And 10! the pearls upon her breast
Were changed TO berries, too;
And rooted to the oak branch
OF mistletoe she grew.
When sweet and clear the Christmas
bells
Ring out DER vale and hill
The maiden mistletoe is seen.
In pearls and velvet still;
And with her in the revels ruled
BY music, mirth and folly,
In sword and scarlet still arrayed,
