THE OBSERVATORY

# one stops to think and make com
PARSONS he will realize that great
deal of incorporate language is used
in public speeches and talk; it has
been the fashion in late years for
those who objected to ministers and
theological teachers being called to
account for laxity, to refer TO the in
quiry as persecution; and many of the
public agAators have called the exist
ing laws and court decisions as "ty-
ranny" If such people could be prt
back for few days in the old times of
real persecution, or be sent to live in
Russia for a while, they might use
more temperate language afterwards
when describing conditions in our
land. l suppose the habits of such in
temperate language comes from trying
to be emphatic; it usually defeats its
desired purpose; calm, simple,
straightforward statement has more
weight, nine times out of ten. The
more we know of THE rest of the world
the more we can realize our liberties
and the great freedom we enjoy in our
government and public institutions.
At the present time there is in Europe
and America much discussion of
PEACE. 1t is almost hundred years
since we. made peace with England,
and since then have had only one dis
graceful war, that with Mexico in
l846-47; but even that was undertaken
by the vote of congress. We ought
to be profoundly thankful that our
rulers cannot plunge US into war or
extend our boundaries. I have been
led to this thinking by a recent re-
reading of Bismarck's career. The
one great aim of his life was to in
crease the power and influence of
Prussia; and to do this. he would defy
the constitution and the representa-
tives of the people; Frederick Will
liam w., the great-uncle of the pres
ent King of Prussia, was not willing
at first to do such thing, and it re-
quired much nagging, persuasion and
coaching before he would consent to
Bismarck's policy The latter careful
ly studied the character of the king
and finding his weakness played on it,
which was personal vanity to be
worthy of his ancestry; it seems
strange to an Englishman or an Amer
lean that one could care so little fo-
the constitutional liberties of his coun-
try as to deliberately set about en-
HANGING the power of the crown, even
it he overturned the Constitution or
dehed it. Bismarck deceived the Ger
man people and the world deliberately,
at the opening of the Franco Prussian
war of 1870, and tried to write history
in his "reminiscences according to the
lies he told the world; but one of his
associates, DR.. Busch, published REV
Cations" which reveals the naked
purpose of Bismarck to carry out his
policy to increase the power of the
Crown, even if he had to deliberately
lie and ride rough-shod over the elect
ed representative of the Prussian peo-
pie. He told distinguished French
man that "The proper course for
Prussian minister was to resist the
Chamber Representatives of the peo-.
ple) and disregard its decisions, hold
ing the army ready for action" and at
last when he tried it, he just told them

THE SYSTEM IS WRONG

We trust the street department of
the city of Caldwell will be economi-
the next two years. We have no rea-
cally and efficiently conducted during
son to believe that it will not be. In
case it is not who will be responsible2
The mayor will say that the commits
sioner was forced on him. That he
had good, capable man and the
council would not confirm the ap-
pointment. On the other hand the
council will say that they had good,
capable man but the mayor would not
appoint him. Both may be right in
regard to the men but that will not
help the tax payers of Caldwell in
case the department is improperly
and inefficiently conducted They
will have to pay the bills. This again
shows that our present system of
municipal government is radically
wrong. There should be some re-
sponsible head Some officer to
"hom the people can say we elected
you to perform certain duties and you
have failed to perform them properly.

by the Tribune some months ago.
would at least create an office that
could be held to accountability. Place
some man in a position of ample
powers and then let him make good
or get out. Conduct the affairs of
the city upon the same priciple that
private corporations employ in their
affairs.

THE BLACK CANYON DISTRICT

Several weeks ago The Tribune
puDlished news article which gave
publicity to plan which contemplat
ed the watering of the lands of the
district for 1878 per acre.
President Newport in an article
in The Parma Review has seen fit not
only to deny all knowledge of any
such plan, but to impugn the motives
OF The Tribune. We were under the
impression that the directors had
knowledge of all matters pertaining to
the welfare of the district and acting
under such impression have gone to
some trouble to defend them upon oc-
casion. 1t would seem if Mr.. New
port did not know of any such plan
ne should thank The Tribune for en-
HANGING his knowledge.
Mr.. Newport states that the "un-
wavering policy" of the directors of
the district is to secure aid from the
government. To secure aid from the
government is splendid policy, and
a popular one. We should like some
ourselves. But we should probably
have to wait some time before the
government got around to US
The reclamation service is under
very scathing fire at the present time
The former appropriation was made
only after a hard battle. Many sena-
tors are very bitter in their fight
against extending aid in this direction
and while we think they hold mis-
taken ideas we do not impugn their
good faith. The proposition advanced
by the western enthusiasts to have
the government cancel the obligations
under the reclamation works already
put In has given the enemies of the
service ample ammunition, with the
result that no less a person than the
chief engineer of the U. S R. S. has
declared that it was his opinion that
the bill under consideration at Wash
ington has absolutely not the slightest
chance of success.
Under the circumstances is IT we'll

figures given by the Tribune have
been carefully gone over by the en-
gineers OF the well-known Allis- ChaI-
mers Co, the klaur Manufacturing
company, the Kkur Manufacturing

ny, and at least two other experts

that the district ''has secured a water
right for all the lands within the dis
trict that is not excelled in the north |

SPRING FEVER

Some people give that name to the
enervating languor brought on by
the first warm warm weather. Others
apply it to the restless dreams of
winding country roads and grassy
trout streams that tempt a man to
shut his desk with bang and skip.
Spring is the hardest weather in the
year for fellow to work. The office
or factory seems friendly enough
shelter during the chill storms of win
ter. In May the whole system of the
worlds work seems a crime. Dusty
Rhodes looks the only true philoso-
pher.
This confinement within four walls
on these lovely days may be abnormal
and different from the life man was
built to lead But the persistence with
which people stick to their tasks, deaf
to these calls of vagrant nature, shows
that the human spirit has acquired
some splendid habits of persistent
industry and patient regularity. These
habits and qualities in the long run
bring ample rewards.
