BOOTLEGGING.

The Tribune is in receipt of an
unsigned communication giving the
Information that there is, and ever
has been since the passage of the
local option law. bootlegging in the
city of Caldwell.
This is probably true and so long
as the peculiar line of cussedness 10
be found only in human animals con-
tinues, there will be bootlegging ana
other lawlessness. But in deserved
tribute to the officers of Canyon coun-
ty and the general good citizenship
spirit of Caldwell, it is only just to
state that the amount of bootlegging
in Caldwell is nil. Certain it is that
there is no sufficient quantity to cause
public scandal. Caldwell has the repu-
tation abroad of being the cleanesl
city in the entire state, even though
some of our citizens deplore the moral
state which obtains.
There can no good come of constant
unreasoning criticism. If specific
cases can be cited or help given the
officers of the law. well and good;
but a continual whine that evil is
amongst us, with no intelligent ef-
fort to help in the eradication. is a
decidedly immoral influence.

Sometimes it is boiled potatoes, lye

ness and silence of Helan Keller.

GENTLY we'll to take so long journey.
Education Began 1t Age Of Six.
Helen was six years old when !
first saw her. She was strong and
active and was steadily striving against
her handbags. She had been deaf,
dumb and blind since she was lo
months old. when an illness. the exact
nature of which has never been de-
termined. destroyed her sight, speech
and hearing completely.
She had OWNED in some way the
fact that l was coming to her and
when l arrived at the house she
rushed out to me so suddenly as
almost to upset me. She examined
me closely, feeling my face with her
hands. and she showed an especial
interest in my bag, in the evident
hope that it contained candy. When
she found that my trunk had come
she was delighted that this interest

When my work with Helen began
she was in the habit of expressing
her wants by means of few simple
signs, such as shaking her head and
pointing. She initiated the motions
of verybody about her so far as she
was able to determine those motions.
She was willful passionate and always
active. Her mind, imprisoned by her
threefold handicap, was forever try

One of the articles that her active
fingers found in my trunk was a doll
that had been dressed for her by the
children at the school in Boston. Her
education began with that doll. When

readiness.

said Mrs. Macy. Untiring patience,
the assistance of many devoted
friends, clear mind and persistent
industry have brought Miss Kellar
her educational attainmentS, Mrs.
Macy said in conclusion, but her lack
of two of the senses and her imperfect
attainment of third handicap her
greatly in the ordinary concerns OF
life. AT the conclusion of her ad-
dress, Mrs. Macy led Miss Kellar to
the platform. Miss Kellar's words
follow:
Dear friends, l am glad to stand
before you and hold out my hands
hear your voices, but l can feel your
loving kindness. 1t surrounds and
upholds me and makes me happy.
What l have to say to you is very
plain. We are bound together with
each other and the life for each other
is the only life worth living. Every
one owes it to himself and others
to make the most of whatever facul-
ties and abilities God has bestowed
upon him. People tell me that what
l have accomplished gives them con-
fidence in their own abilities.
My teacher has told you how l was
taught. The rays of light from
another soul have touched the dark
ness of mine; and it is through her
that l have been brought to the sun
shine of life. I was blind; now | see.
l was deaf; now hear. was dumb;
now l speak. 1t is through the hands
of others that | found myself, found
found the world and found my soul,
found love and God. Without my
teacher l should be nothing. With
out you should be nothing. The
hands of others wrought this miracle
in me.
Living By and For Each Other.
We live by each other and the lie
for each other is the only one worth
living. Alone we can do so little
but together we can do so much. Do
you wonder that l love the hand that
has taught me, the hand that is noble
and generous and creative? Do you
wonder that l love the world and
want to do all that is noble. love
to open my hands to you and give
you the hands of knowledge, friend
ship and all that have given power
into them. l believe that good men
and women have laid their very hearts
in my hand, and that is why l find
life so interesting and SO inspiring.
That is why l know JOY and content
ment, even though the sunlight of
the world is barred against me. l
put by trust in the Lord, knowing
that he at all times is right and that
he will uphold me.
Another thing that l want to say
to you is this: God has taught us
to believe in our powers. Most of US
do not begin to use the wonderful
senses that God has given US. 1t is
more difficult to teach the ignorant
to think for themselves than to teach
the blind man to see the splendors of
the sunset. have never beheld those
wonderful fires in the sky; but those
that have eyes and ears do not see
nor hear the wonders that go about
them. Devotion and loyalty break
through the high walls of blindness.
l had to learn this through the hands.
Thing of the power of thought that
comes to me through them. The
world is full of miracles; seek and
you will find them

English Working at College.

From an educational standpoint,
said Mrs. Macy, the course at Radcliffe
was a waste of time. Miss Kellar's
work in English, however, was of
great value to her and she wrote the
story of her life, later published in
book form, as sophomore themes.
They are the only sophomore themes
