JIM BRADY

James H. Brady has finally reached
q position where the Statesman may
give him a word of commentator
without subjecting itself to the
charge Of boosting the former gov
|ernor for some political office In Id
aho.
BY his election to the presidency
of the Mississippi Commercial
congress Mr.. Brady has demonstrated
that his ability, his public spirit and
his usefulness to the west are rec
Iognized outside OF Idaho. 1t is GER
itainly fitting. therefore, that his home
folks give him word Of praise.
{ In recent months he has been urged
by Republicans in all parts Of Idaho
for. governor, for congress, for the
United States senate, for Republican
national committeeman and to all he
has turned deaf ear while he de-
voted his whole attention to matters
OF business.
I No man will claim In the light OF
history, that James H. Brady got q
square deal from many Of the Repub-
lican leaders OF Idaho two years ago.
1t was the fashion then as 1t 10 the
fashion now, for ambitious place
hunters to remain loyal to the party
up to the time OF the convention;
and then, II the outcome Of the con-
vention did not suit them, to sulk in
their tents; to cry "Fraud!' and
preach morality; Or to secretly knife
the candidates Of their party.
; Let 1t be said to the credit Of Brady
that at that time and later after the
election, he proved himself to be q
good loser, and II there 10 one char
acterlstic OF Americans that stands
out above all others it is their nd
miration for a good loser.
There is a saying that runs through
many sections that q Thoroughbred
never wines" Whatever else may
be said Of Brady It must be admitted
that he proved himself q political
Observation-Disclosures defeated he re-
fused to whine.
There il this also to be said to the
credit Of Brady--he has shown q
disposition at all times to promote
the best interests Of his state.
This man owes much to Idaho and
he IL ever ready to acknowledge his
debt. He has arisen to great wealth
here, and in his ready acknowledge
ment Of his obligation, he 10 at the
front In every movement to honor his
state and promote the material In
terests OF his fellow citizens. At great
sacrifice Of time and energy he push

DEAD

Breathes there q man with q soul so
dead,
Who never to himself has said;
my trade Of late 10 getting bad,
I'll try another ten inch ad,"
II such there be, go mark him well;
For him no bank account shall swell,
Nor angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire
The mad who never asks for trade
BY local line or ad displayed.
Cares more for rest than worldly gain.
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends. let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound,
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought. except by men he owes,
And when he dies, 60 plant him deep
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that be loved 70 well.
And when the world may know its
loss.
Place on his grave 9 wreath of-moss.
And On o stone above.l There lies 81
A chump who wouldn't advertise"

Dave Wells. colored, was arrested
Tuesday night by Police Officer j. NJ.

julius Williams, colored, a couple Of
weeks ago. the shooting having oc-
CURED near the corner of Harvin

IL seems that Williams was arrest

Of stealing a pistol from DR.. Il. S.
Booth, for whom he had been work
ing. He was taking the pistol down
Hampton avenue when he met Wells
and the two began an alteration
which ended i'm Wells taking the pis-

now in Jail, one for stealing the
weapon and the other for re-stealing
the pistol and assault and battery
with a deadly weapon.
Wells denies the shooting or having
any knowledge of the shooting, al
though Williams stoutly afTirms his
statement that Wells is the man who
shot him. In the meantime the pis,
tol Is still missing.
Since the shooting Wells was at an
other shooting scrape in which Ed

U. S. COTTON TRADE.
American Exports Increase 40 Per
Cent I'm is Years.

Washington, Dec. 3.-American ex-
ports OF cotton manufactures have in
creased 10 per cent in the last Is
years and are growing. while ini-
ports of cotton manufacturers have
increased 120 per cent during the same
period. Statistics Of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, an
nounced today, show the imports this
year will approximate $4,000, 900.
The exports probably will exceed $780,
10000. Imports are coming in at
about the same rate as in 1910 and
1911. but exports are rapidly increas-
ing.
The United States produces Of 20
per cent Of the worlds cotton, ex-
ports two-thirds of it's production,
chiefly to England. Germany. France
and other European countries, from
which the United States in turn i'm
ports large quantities Of cotton man.
ufactures, mostly Of higher grades.
Europe, as yet, takes only very
small proportion OF American man
ufactured cottons. China ranks first
as market for American cotton
cloths. though exports to China this
year are considerably less than in
earlier years.
American clothing and knit goods
are exported chiefly to Canada and
the United Kingdom. Practically every
civilized country is represented in the
list OF communities to which Ameri-
can cotton goods are exported and
while in some cases the totals are
relatively small they are sufficient in
size and growth TO give promise Of
future expansion.
In expectation Of cotton manu-
facture the United States. while max
Ing steady progress. is far behind GER
tain industrial countries OF Europe.
Up to this time American cotton
manufacturers have been chiefly oc-
cupied in supplying the home mar
ket, only small part OF domestic
production entering into internation-
al trade.
