as ii, a Looking-Glass

There should be in every commu-
nity some one authorized by law to
point out the foibles and the virtues
of its members in order that each may
correct the former and all emulate the
latter This Office is necessary be-
cause so few of US know virtue from
vice and none of us the reason tor
another's prosperity. There is no au-
thority of law for such an Office in
the CITY of Caldwell according to Al
fred F. Stone, Esq, who is supposed
to know. Therefore as the writer
cannot serve with pay he will serve
without honor, and, let us hope, like
Junius, his secret will perish with
him. Quietly and conhdentially there
is another reason why he does not
wish to occupy the limelight which
will be apparent from time to time.
Having Invested myself of the pre-
amble l may proceed to the text.
AS a general thing it may be said
that he who would be successful in
this world should see to it at birth
that he has sound mind and sound
BODY. This is not indispensable it is
true, but it is highly important and
| advise him who would seek fame
and fortune to attend to the detail.
The sound mind enables one to sep
arate the essential affairs of life from
the non-essential and to appreciate
both. The sound body enables him
to accomplish the one and enjoy the
other. There is place in life for the
frivolous and the serious. Be care
full that you know which is which and
accord to each the consideration its
nature demands. Play at tiddlede-
winks at times, but do not weep at the
game for it makes you ridiculous. Get
the right proportions and you will
laugh in your joy, and be serious on
proper occasion. The average man
likes to hear a hearty laugh but a
smirk he detests. Big men don't
smirk They either laugh or hold
their peace. When we see one who
can laugh heartily and then be serious
at times we know that there is some
thing to him. These are the outward
signs which enabled US to get next
to the fact that Walter Grifiths was
worthy of the study of this self-con-
stituted officer.
In booking over Walter Griffiths,
or rather in looking at him from all
sides, for he is of considerable size,
we find that he meets with all our
specifications for a success in life
He, or somebody for him, saw to it
that he was started off right in the
world. He got a good mind and a
good body and has assiduously Guilt
waited both. Far be it from us to de-
tract any credit from the subject of
ours sketch. All novel readers know
that the hero is always we'll invested
at birth. He is usually deprived of
his fortune by perhdious uncle but
comes out all right in the end. This
is done, no doubt, to show THAT he is
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1913-08-29

a hero, for in most novels visible
proof of the heroic mold of the hero
is necessary. In real life there are
usually no conspiring relatives and the
hero goes up or down according to his
own deserts. He, we mean Walter,
can also laugh. When he sees fit to
laugh he laughs. He laughs all over,
his sides shake and tears come to his
eyes. He laughs from the soles OF
his feet to the crown OF his head.
And then again he is serious. Men
ton taxes and you will find that he
is as serious as they make them, be-
cause owning many an acre he has
reason to be serious No cameraEst
ever cameraled any more seriously
than does Walter. Be that as it may,
in this day and age and in this city
and county man with the weeps is
the man with the acres. Here we have
it: sound body and mind; man
who can laugh and man who can
weep; hence success. If that isn't as
clear as day to you you are living in
an atmosphere too. rarified for the
writer.
Walter Griffiths came to Caldwell
about the time this section was COM
mencing to take on a few airs-in
1900 to be exact. He went into part
nership in the law business with his
brother, H. A., and together with that
gentleman began to gather clients,
acres and honors. We do not know
of which he accumulated the most,
AS to honors he has had about every
position of unremunerative honor and
labor within the gift of the people of
Caldwell He has been mayor of the
city, president of the Commercial
club, director and vice-president OF
the Boise Water Users association,
director of the First National bank,
and on SO many committees that the
reckoning was lost long years ago.
He takes such work seriously in that
he attends to everything to which he
is called. If it is a little matter of
driving day after day in the country
for the purpose of inspecting country
roads, hot and begrimed you will find
Walter sinspecting. 1t 'mattefs not
what it is. Say the word or point the
necessity and Walter will find the
man because he always carries such
man in his personal luggage. He
was prominent in organizing the Pho
neer Irrigation district and was far
sighted enough to see that drainage
must be provided for in time. At that
time nobody thought there was such a
thing as too much water. If some one
had presented to plan to dump the
Pacific ocean into the Boise valley,
