that every school boy for the last fifty
years has had the same stories on his
lips from the time he was oldenougl1
to enjoy American humor.
The good impression that Mr.. Smcol
left with the good people of Blackfoot
on last July has been shattered and
not vestige Of respect is left for
him, not in the Bull Moose party nor
among any ether party or persons in
Blackfoot, that heard his villifying re.
marks at the theatre.
We are moved to the conclusion
that the Church is good for some men
and it would have been better
for Mr.. Smock if he had remained in
the Church and paid heed to its teach.
ings and thereby had material help
in keeping himself in the path of pro.
priety. He certainly is unable to do
SO without the aid of the Church.
During his remarks he said that he
would like to see the newspaper re-
port of his speech, intimating that he
would get and in fact expected a
roasting" from the press. We can
see that some little vestige of the
better man still remains in the make
up of the gentleman, instilled no doubt
by his early training, for he was in
wardly ashamed of his speech and
wanted to know what the people would
think Of it. His shame has been over
come. however, by his wanton, obtuse
unbridled disposition, so that its out
groupings are few and far between.
Mr.. Smock, we hope you ese this
report of your speech and that you
enjoy the roasting for you know
down deep in your heart that it is
merited. Perhaps that is what you
are out on the stump for. Perhaps
you expect to get some cheap ncterity
by turning loose upon the public mind
such vicious, unprincipled TRADES as
you released in this town. Do you
think that the kind of noterity that
you will receive from such advertising
as you are getting by your villifying
methods will be of benefit to you eth
er socially, politically or financially?
II SO you have another guess coming.
The ministry is to be congratulated
upon loosing you from its membership
and the legal fraternity is to be pitied
for acquiring you, Mr.. /. Smock, as a
member Of the bH.
If there was one person who would
have voted for you before your visit
to Blackfoot on this occasion he will
immediately change his mind after
hearing your speech.
: In conclusion we must add that we
need gentlemen in Congress- with abil-j
ity who will properly represent us,
not self imposed freaks of nature to
our state

Narrow Escape

Sunday evening a man who gave his
name as Mike Garvin, and who had
undoubtedly too much fire water, was
picked off Of the railroad tracks just
north of the depot by James Martin
and carried by the assistance of two
other men over to the Jail. The vic
tim can consider himself very lucky
in this world, for If he had laid there
about ten minutes longer he would
have been cut to pieces by through
freight which came along right after
he was found. This should be a les
son for Mike and his taste for liquor
should be somewhat abated!
