MEMORIAL FOR sTUNENBERG

A little before 7 o'clock the after
noon Of Saturday. December 80,
1905, former Governor Frank
Steunenberg met the horrible fate
prepared for him by Harry Orchard,
and while entering the gate Of his
home was literally blown to King
dom Come by the explosion Of a
carefully prepared bomb.
Barely a resident Of the Gem
state that is not intimately ac-
9uainted with the details of the
frightful tragedy. None there are
but profoundly revere the memory
Of Caldwell's most prominent citizen
And the movement which was given
birth Monday evening at the meet
ing Of the Commercial club will n
doubtedly gather momentum until
a lifting memorial Of this splendid
example OF Idahoan manhood be
erected In the city of his adoption.
The proposition advanced by W.
L.. Hasbr0uck to install a handsome
fountain around one of the fine
artesian wells met with instant APP
prevail from all members of the
club and a committee composed OF
Messrs. Van Duyn. e. II. Plow-
head and M. H. Gibbons was ap-
pointedd to take active charge of
a campaign looking to the building
OF such a memorial.
Mr.. Hasbrouck introducing his
spoke as follows:
Mr.. President:-The subject

Is OF great interest not only to the
club but the city, state and nation.
| have been planning this for over
six months. This past week, after
consultation with quite a few people
all of whom are In favor. | think
the time is ripe for the proposition
is this. viz: TO utilize the
big artesian we'll in the park and
erect a Steunenberg Memorial Foun-
Tain around 1t, which will not only
perpetuate the name of CaldwelPs
most noted public character, but ,
which will at the same time furnish ]
pleasure to those who behold it. !
Gov. ~Steunenberg was a practi- t
al man. and as such l think he d
would much prefer a practical I
memorial, such Is proposed, to a
old marble shaft. or a dull bronze r.
tatue which will merely excite the F
wonder of idle curiosity seekers. 6

UNREASONING PANIC.

II would be instructive 10 remember. ii
only We were willing to do so. the fairly
comic panic which swept In waves over
our seacoast, first when It became evi-
dent that war was about to be declared
and then when 1t was declared. The pub
lie walked up to the sufficiently obvious
fact that the government was In its usual
state-perennial unreadiness for war.
Thereupon the people of the seaboard
district passed at one bound from tn
reasoning confidence that war never
would come to unreasoning fear as TO
what might happen now that it had come.
That acute philosopher. Mr.. Dooley. pro-
claimed that In the Spanish war we were
In a dream. but that the Spaniards were
in trance. This just about summed up
the facts. Our people had for decades
scoffed at the thought of making ready
for possible wer. Now. when 1t was
too late. they not only backed every
measure, wise and unwise, that offered
n chance of supplying need that ought
To have been met before. but they also
fell into a condition Of panic apprehen-
sion as to what the foe might do.

sent to the Asiatic. European and South
Atlantic squadrons TO rendezvous at
certain convenient points where, should
war break out. they would be most avail

"The message to the Asiatic squadron
bore the signature of that Assistant Sec
rotary who had seized the opportunity
while acting Secretary TO hasten prep

cautions for readiness would cost little

his past career. 1t was at time when
there was threat OF trouble with Chill.
Dewey was off the Argentine, and was
told 10 get ready to move TO the other
coast of South America. II the move be-
came necessary, he would have to have
coal, and yet IL he did not make the move
the coal would not be needed In such
case a man afraid Of responsibility al
ways acts rigidly by the regulations and
communicates with the department at
home to get authority for everything he
does; and therefore he usually accom-
plishes nothing whatever but is able TO
satisfy all individuals with red tape minds
by triumphantly pointing out his compli-
ance with the regulations. In a crisis
the man worth his salt Is the man who
meets the needs of the situation in what
ever way is necessary Dewey purchased
the coal and was ready TO move at once
If need arose. The affair blew over the
need to move did not occur; and for
some time there seemed to be chance
that Dewey would get into trouble over
having purchased the coal. for our people
are like almost all other peoples In requir-
ing responsible officers under such con-
ditlons TO decide at their own personal
peril, no matter which course they fol-
low. However. the people higher up ulti-
mately stood by Dewey.
The incident made me feel that here
was a man who could be relied upon to
prepare in advance and to act promptly
fearlesslv and on his own responsibility
when the emergency arose. Accordingly.
