Why Not Front?

Why Not Front?
Why did the morning daily OF Boise
place the McCutcheon cartoon on the
4th page of the issue of the 10th inst,
instead of upon the first page; is not
McCutcheon entitled to first page
consideration?
The question would hardly be raised
were it not for the suggestiveness Of
the similarity of the story to the
character of the treatment by certain
! newspapers and politicians during the
last year Of one of our most distin-
guished public men.
The picture is scene in the White
House at Washington, D. c., in one of
the public halls, in view are row of
presidents busts, and pictures show
ing Presidents Harrison, Cleveland,
Mckinley, the next is draped so that
it is hidden from view; the famous
Big Stick" has been cut in pieces
with saw and thrown into a coal
scuttle; relics of the Spanish War"
and the wild Animal Hunt" are
| draped to conceal them from view; all
these with the evident purpose of
concealing everything that would
suggest the most illustrious American
and best known man in the world.
There is another significant sug-
gestion in the scene. The big Stick"
has been thrown aside, there is no
one there who is willing to use it.,
there is a suggestion of mourning
for what?
Why are certain persons interested
! in an endeavor to cause people to for
get certain man and his administra-
ton and everything connected there
with? There must be reason, some
must expect to gain something by
some lapse in memory on the part of
the people.
Is the president party to all this,
is he tool, is he the dupe, or is he
the scape-goat?
Whether he is worthy of our conf
dence and support depends upon the
true answer to this question. | can
not at present answer this for myself
much less determine the course for
future action from present indications
and evidences of facts. But there are
few facts which we do know to be
well established truths: Teddy did
WELD big Stick what was it?
The big Stick" was the unqualified
support of the rank and file of the
citizens of the nation obtained by ju-
dicious publicity of the intent and pur-
poses of man of courage seeking
the best interests of the whole people
without any distinction as to berth or
wealth or previous condition of SER
vltude and the masterful execution of
that force created by such support.
Again, on whom did the big Stick"
tall? Plain to say, upon those who
sought to thwart the will of the ma
Jority and by manipulation of the
forces thus brought within their con
troll, exploit the resources of the ma
ton at large, defying court or legis-
lature, the function of which was plac-
ed more or less at their mercy.
Does any one blame the unscrupu-
lous interests for their opposition to
the Big Stick, or are surprised that
they are attempting to apply the
"Hoodwink" upon the general public
at this time when nominations are in
order?

Fay Kemblc, the bright little
seven-year-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gus Kemble, had her first ex-
perience in dramatic art last Mon
day night when the Sheehan Opera
Company presented the Bohemian
Girl" Little Fay was the stolen
child in the first act of the story,
and seemed rs much at home in the
Gypsy camp as she is at her College
street sports. In fact she received
as much admiration for her childish
confidence in the Gypsies, as Ar
line" did for her love and loyalty
for them in her mature years.
