from the illustrious Tom Watson. :
THE KUHN FAILURE.

The people of Idaho sympathize
with the Kuhn Brothers in this, their
hour of financial embarrassment.
They have done great work for Ida
no and they have induced others to
interest themselves in the develop
ment of the state. With supreme
confidence in the future of the state
they spent their money freely. 1t is
gratifying to know that none of the
Idaho projects in which they were
interested were in any wise response
Bile for their present condition. All
enterprises in this state which they
undertook came out as was expected
In Wednesdays Statesman Judge S.
H. Hayes, who has been connected
and associated with the Kuhns since
they entered the state, is quoted:
There will be no receiverships for
the Idaho companies for the excel
lent reason that none are necessary.
In my opinion, there will be no
change in affairs of the Kuhns in
Idaho in any material degree" Idaho
has no cause for alarm over the clos
ing of the three Kuhn banks. TIE
Crane Creek project will be held UP
temporarily. Judge Hayes is also of
the opinion that the Kuhns, them
selves, will be found to be in sound
financial condition. Their business
and affairs are tied up only tempo
rarily. Even if Idaho has no cause
for alarm the people of the state hope
that the Kuhns will come out all
right. They have the sympathy and
confidence of the people OF Idaho.
Whatever may be the outcome the
Kuhn Brothers will always have the
satisfaction of having done some
thing worth while in the world. In
this and other states they wrested
empires from the desert They made
available to the ues of man the natur-
al resources of dozen states. They
converted into wealth the power that
was going to waste in nearly hun
dred cities throughout the country.
They were really and truly benefact-
ors to their fellow men,

did not like his brand of Republican
ism it could go take a jump at itself
The committee didn't like the brand
and we presume took the jump. The
Progressive committee was very in
sistent that all candidates declare
themselves. The committee made no
such demand on Senator Borah for
two reasons. The first because they
too would have to take a jump, and
the second because they were making
very good use of him as it were. b.
rah was in Idaho what Beverage
was in Indiana few years ago. You
know what happened to Beverage.
The same may happen to Borah.
A few weeks ago the writer was
talking with one of the Progressive
leaders of the state. During the talk
the Senator's name was mentioned.
Very forcefully the Progressive said
that so far as the Progressive party
was concerned Borah would have to
come out .fat-footed or else he could
expect no Progressive support. The
Republicans at the present time feel
the same way Of course several
years will intervene before Senator
Borah again comes before the people
of Idaho, even if he is a candidate
for president. During those years
the Senator will undoubtedly locate
himself for a while at least. By so
doing he will perhaps get the hearty
support of one or the other parties
But with three political parties in the
field in Idaho, supposing that the
Progressive party lasts that long,
the nomination on the Democratic
ticket will probably be equivalent to
an election. Any way you look at it
it behooves Senator Borah to be eau
tious. Once again he must keep
close watch on public sentiment. The
change in feeling is ominous. Let us
hope for the best.

DUBOIS IS DISCOURAGED

to gentiles. A great institution
is the Mormon church. 1t runs every
thing under the sun and there are
those who think that it exercises
some influence on that luminary. 1t
even runs the Idaho legislature which
requires more than the powers of
man. Senator Dubois does not blame
Wilson yet. He lays the burden of
his woe at the doors of the Secretary
OF State and Postmaster General.
There two men are keeping the Pres
ident in the dark. He proposes to
Immediately start a propaganda for
the purpose of enlightening the Pres
ident. The President no doubt needs
enlightenment on this as well as
several other questions, but we fear
that Senator Dubois will be unable to
get the light on the right spot Pres
ident Wilson, aided and assisted bv
his cabinet, is playing a few politics
himself. He sees out here in idaho,
Utah and Wyoming. nearly a dozen
electoral votes which may come in
very handy at some time or other.
lie knows that the Mormons are
some factor in the west and there is
no use IN antagonizing them. In
consequence enlightenment as to
their activities is not welcome at the
White House.
The Tribune was under the impress
sion that Senator Dubois would have
considerable influence with the Will
son administration. 1t seems other
wise. which is too bad after the great
harmony stunt pulled off by Messrs.
Bryan and. Clark few months since
1t is ever thus. Few politicians ever

THE OBSERVATORY

knew a family i'll mid-western
Vermont; the father was an expert
builder of brick, known all over the
state, but his Oldest son abominated
mortar, yet had a passion tor iano
and growing crops he took charge
of the farm garden and made it
flourish; he begged his father for. a
farm, which was bought in the cele-
brated Otter creek valley, and The
soon became one of the leading dali
rymen of Vermont; in course of time
his son showed no liking for the
mechaic art of his grandfather or
the farming skill of his father; he
wanted books; his dear old grand
father suggested that Frank was
lazy: instead of hoeing corn he
would rather hunt for bugs and eggs.
which, while yet boy, he made a
creditable collection; the mother be-
ing dead, the good grandmother was
bringing him up; if her son did not
like brick laying he did not like dig
ging in the dirt; both empfoyments
were work; but this grandson did
not like work, as she termed it.;
work was her gospel; work with
ones hands; if this boy did not and
would not if he could help it, work
in the field or at building, she
feared something was wrong with
him; not creditable to the family!
The boys stepmother was an edu-
Gated woman, and her heart ached
for the unsatished youth, but she
would not interfere in. his training;
but she told me many time Frank
had been working in the field when
he would see some rare butterfly,
drop his hoe, give chase, catch and
study it. till to his horror he would
find he had thus spent almost the
whole afternoon. Thus the unhap-
py boy dragged himself along on the
farm till he was twenty-one; a good
steady boy, but one who preferred
book or beetle, or a birds nest
to hoe or trowel. The stepmother
had the boys confidence, and in
vited him to freedom dinner" on
his 2lst birthday, and after the feast
asked him what he was now to do?
would he go to school and college?
no, he was too old to fit for college,
and he had no money to even take a
partial course in college, as he could
w Ht a hSdiOy NOuCkC Il HC HdQ the
money for expenses. So they talked
it over until the wise woman saw the
boys real disappointment, and un-
derlyine ambition, and then asked
him if he would go if he could Dor
row the money without interest? yes,
indeed he would! Then she asked
him will you go if l lend you the
money!" With quick glance he
said TRY me and sce!" The she re-
piled, Il will lend it to you. and at
once, This had been her purpose
all the time if he showed true am
bition. The next day he started for
the college; within few months he
was sent home to get his cabinets of
specicenms and made an instructor.

tempting to disguise the fact. The

TOWN SPIRIT

The principal of high school once
said he had long worked to develop
school loyalty. At school dances, he
todd his boys that they must see
that every girl had partners. If the
girls were neglected socially, they
had miserable time and it hurt the
school, The result of his teaching
was that every pupil became boos-
ter for that institution.
Is there similar spirit in this
town? If not, why not, and if so, to
what extent?
If all our people had this same spirit
of standing by home friends, buying of
chime stores, what boost it would
give! While money would be circu-
lated here, available for taxes, i'm
provements, and also raising the val
Tie of real estate, that is only part of
it.
This spirit would fill our business
men with hope and enthusiasm. The
place would have an air of prosperity
in every line of its exterior. Every
one who visited it would carry away
the story that this place o. .2llfviou
the story that this is place of
smiles, hustle and success.
