The following from the Midvale
Reporter tells a pithy story nf the
election of a United States senator
by the Idaho legislature a short
time ago and fully shows the recess
sity of the election Of senators by
popular vote:
There were some exciting eli
makes to the election of Ex-Gov.
Br Idyas United States senator, as
the following excerpt from the
Statesman shows:
Perhaps half of those present
had kept tab on the vote and knew
that Mr.. Brady was elected before
the reult was announced and it was
with difficulty that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Taylor brought the ass mbly
TO order. Little was expected from
Representative Dickson therefore,
when he arose to explain his vote
as it could not possibly affect the
result. But the young man had
not gone far in his remarks before
there was a connection in the
house misses, cheers and calls of
"0rder!" mingled with the pound
ing of the chqirman's gavel gave
the crowd its first taste of real
excitement.
81 have not the highest personal
regard for the man just elected"
said young Dickinson laborinG to
control his feelings. with his
unsavory record in our country
with which you are all familiar
At this point the speaker was
howled down and was unable to
make himself heard further in the
confusion. Senator Edgington arose
to a point of order. He held that
40 member had the right to make
such remarks against an officer;
that he had no right on the floor TO
assails the character of a man in
tbs way. This was greeted with
cheers and Kisses showing that the
crowd was divided in sentiment.
Through 1t all Dickinson held the
floor insisting on his right to ex-
plain his vote. The lieutenant gov
ernor decided in his favor but
warned the member that he must
be brief and confne MS remarks 10
an explanation OF his vote.
"Since | came to the city of
Boise" continued Dickinson. there

THE REAL BOLSTER
Editor ~Independet:

EDITOR lnuepenuet.
The comment in the Free Pres:
of the 7th on the leasing of the In
dependent to MIR. Mcneil would
make one smile. 1.-THE Free Press
extends a welcoming hand TO Bro.
Mcneil and trusts that he will enter
into the spi rit of progressiveness
that is due Elko County and make
the Independent u real booster"
Now if the Independent is not
the only booster the town has had
in the way of a newsl aper since
the present management took
charge of the Free Press.
l am certainly in the dark as TO
what constitutes a REAL BOOSTER.
Still Mr.. Free Press il is all right
to give advice for it is so much
easier to give than to take advice.
Anybody who would consider your
paper a booster so far as the vel
fare of the community is concerned
must be dreadfully one eyed.
This has been the policy of the
two papers respectively as it
appears to any fair minded person:
The Free Press will write a page
of praise to the advantage of the
town as an ideal place to have a
home. the pure air on Mob hill
mountain scenery. the beautiful
court house and the schools, then
for the next six months the font
page is devoted each day TO a knock
for some enterprise, where by the
few who constitute the population
make our bread and butter. If any
business enterprise has been spared
/ can't at this time recall it.
IT is a common expression when
the Free Press is mentioned. "Who
gets the knock in this evenings
paper?"
The telephone system has certain
ly been well advertised in its weak
points; the management of the
Opera house has been repeatedly
censured; the hotels have been
knocked until the travelling public,
if they read and thought the paper
reliable would stop at Wells or
Carlin to spend the night and come
to ElkO just for the day 10 avoid
such dreadful accommodations as
the town affords: the Electric
Light company's charges r exor-
bitant, but if the rower is off for
fifteen minutes which does not
happen %oftener than in other towns
and cities a half column is devoted
the rotten" service etc. Can any
body dispute this is the policy of
the Free Press.
On the other hand the Indefendent
suggests, agitates and works to
bring to a climax any proposition
for the bettermemt of the COM
munity without condemning what
we already have. 1t always favOrs
any progressive movment IT, thinks
best for the majority of the COM
munity. The Independent favors
every one expressing his views
the Free Press would be the
dictator to the public.
Which is The Booster:
l call the attention of the Free
Press to these words of Bobbie
Burns: "Oh, wad some power the
gifty gle US, To see our selves as
others see US"

SOLD ANOTHER MANS
 AUTO AND THEN SKIPPED

To sell an automobile that does not belong to you, get the entire amount of the money in advance without deliver ing the machine, and then to skip the country leaving two exceedingly wrath ful men behind, is an experience that does not fall to all men in the short space Of days time. However, this particular stunt was pulled off in Phoe- nix on Wednesday by C. B. Matthews, formerly in the employ of Ed. Rudolph. general agent of the Ford automobiles and federal trucks.
 It was Rudolphs machine that was sold for $550 The mans name who bought the auto from Matthews is withheld for reasons. The story is short
 The customer for the auto was taken out on Wednesday by Matthews act ing as salesman for Rudolph, and so pleased was he with the machine that he offered to buy it then and there. The transaction was completed, Matthews, however, neglecting to give d bill of sale for the auto. That even ing both the purchaser and the sales man returned to the garage in the ma chine and the man agreed to leave the auto there until the next day when he would come back and take another les son in running it. This was satisfac- tory.
 The next day. yesterday. when Mir. Man went to the garage to get his machine he found the fellow from whom he bought it among the missing. and had nothing to show for his pur- chase. In fact he had bought a ma chine that belonged to another man. MT. Rudolph promised all the help he could give in apprehending his former i employee and Mir. Purchaser hastened
 to the sheriffs office to procure the

We were in camp. and just get ting ready to have our dinner, when orders came for us to hurry forward and join a brigade that was likely to engage the enemy any minute So We had to gobble down d cold snack and start. Having my first battle loom up before me sudden like that. I couldn't eat much of anything, and not having had a civilized meal.

 the man in front of me, d chap nam ed Piper.
 Tt looked to me as if there was something very much alive in that pocket. Every now and then Piper would clap his hand over it, as if he was afraid the critter would get out and I could hear stifled noises from the depths of the pocket that made me suspicious. The lieutenant heard them, too, for twice he turned round and looked fierce enough to eat us
 By and by, when Piper was off his guard, the thing poked it's head out far enough to sereech. Cut! cu-!' Piper he squelched the second cut cut 1t in two, you might say; but the lieutenant heard something and he looked round and shouted: Silence in the ranks there!'
 The men near Piper snickered but nothing more happened till the order came down the line to shift our guns to the right shoulder. Then, of course, Piper had to use both hands. and the minute he let go of his pocket out scrambled as mad bullet as you ever saw; and when she'd flop ped onto the ground she scurried away screeching, Cut cut! cah-dah- cut! at the top of her lungs We'll the captain couldn't help hearing that, and naturally he looked back to see what the row was, and when he saw what had happened he sung out at the top of his voice:
 Corporal Davis. take three men ard bring back that deserter!'
 That made everybody feel mid ding cheerful. but those who know where the chicken had come from got real good laugh when Piper put his hand into his pocket and pulled out q new laid egg.
