WANT U. S. TO MINE RADIUM
A. |. Dupont and DR.. Kelly Have Plan
to Help Cancer Sufferers.

Philadelphia, Dec. ia plan for
the United States government to take
over the radium depcSits in this coun
try in the interest of humanity and
turn over the product to physicians
to be used in fighting cancer was an
nounced here by Alfred |. Dupont, OF
Wilmington, Del, and DR.. Howard A..
Kelly, of Johns Hopkins university,
Baltimore.
Mr.. Dupont controls quartz Hill,
in Gilpin county, Colo, which contains
the largest pitchblende and carnotite
deposits in the world.
The tentative plan calls for a cen
trail institution where radium is to be
prepared and distributed to clinics in
an effort to decrease the toll of $4,000
lives which cancer claims annually.
This action follows the recent an
nouncement of Doctors Kelly and
Robert Able, of New York, that ra-
dunn cures many forms of cancer, but
that its scarcity and enormous value
make it impossible for present gen.
eral use.

WONAN'S ORDER
TO STOP OBEYED
AescoNDING HUSBAND ON WAY
TO GOODiNc WAS BROUGHT
BACK TO SHOSHONE.

c. D. Benner of Shoshone was driv-
ing on his way to Gooding Monday
evening when he was suddenly held
up in broad daylight, and by a wo-
man, too. Just before the hold-up he
had taken in a young man whom ne
found walking on the road carrying a
suitcase and a rifle. The two had rid
den together only a few minutes when
the team became frightened at the
noise made by a horse galloping as if
to overtake them. The rider, an ener-
getic young woman, displayed a re-
volyer as she approached and came
into view and commanded the driver
of the team to halt
For the life Of him Benner could
not obey the order, for his horses
broke away further, the woman's high
words as well as the noise of her
steed causing them the greatest fright
stop" she yelled, "or I'll kill you"
Benner was now thoroughly con-
WINGED of the young woman's serious
intentions and he exerted all his
strength and skin to quiet his team.
1T is not you I want, but that
thing in the rig with you" using a
string of unprintable adjectves to-
ward Benner's fellow traveller. Get
out Of there and come with me" The
young man obeyed and sprang from
the carriage. The young woman drop
ed from the saddle and stood beside
him. 1T is all I can do to Feep from
blowing your worthless head off" she
said to him and with that she ordered
him to back-track it to ShsshOne her
self carrying the suitcase in one hand
and the revolver in the other
The young man stopped only mo-
ment to say to the owner of the rig
that he was sorry to have caused him
any inconvenience and was much
obliged
The pair reached town early in the
evening and lodged at a local hotel,
taking a morning train for Ketchum-
They gave the name of Buster at the
hotel and said they had come from
Jarbidge to Shoshone. The woman
said they are man and wife Both were
well dressed. the woman especially,
and her comely personality had no
sinister look about at first glance. The
man had a display of the want OF
character and determination manifest
ed on the road incident in little |
turned-up nose.
The hold-up took place at the Mill |
saps ranch, just west of town.

GOOding Senatorial Attack
and Brady Counter Attack
(senator Brady

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8. -
When Senator Brady's attention was
called TO Governor Gooding's recent
announcement Of his candidacy for the
United States senate, he said: "Po-
litical occasions tend to evoke more
language than ideas, with the result
that politicians sometimes strive less
for honesty in governmental affairs
than for sensationalism and self-adu-
lation The people of Idaho are much
alive to whatever affects the welfare
Of themselves and then fellows. They
are everyday citizens, blessed with
more common sense and practical
knowledge than theory, and they are
not going to be misled OF deceived by
statements Of any candidates for the
United States senate who lays claim
to all the virtues and attributes TO
others all the vices Of public life.
IN a political campaign The prob
lens to be solved are those of your
state and nation, and deserve to be
discussed by candidates for office
fairly and intelligently. These are the
things people are interested in, and if
mistake not, they care nothing for
the personal ambitions of any particu-
lar candidate They desire to give
know their needs and wants and is In
sympathy with their hopes and ambi-
tions, and who VIII serve them con-
scientiously. honestly and efficiently.
During the is years 7 have been

and ambitions have been to contribute

which I now hold to descend 10 a mud

pose to be a perpetual candidate for
office, but when the proper time
comes I shall ask the people Of Idaho
for a vote of confidence, with the
feeling on my part that l have faith

in me. Mr.. Gooding may feel that
