No Hope for his Recovery.

DR.. MADEIRA returned Thursday
from Pueblo, Colorado, where he
went the last of last week to ac-
company Pete Fuller to Evanston
where he has been placed in the
State Mental Hospital. He was
taken to Pueblo about a month ago
and placed in a private institution in
the hope that he would improve I'M
der expert treatment. But little en-
couragement was given from the
first and later his condition was pro-
nounced to be beyond human skill.
The care on Mrs. Fuller was too
great to be continued indefinitely, so
it was decided to take him to Evans
ton where there are proper facilities
for his care with constant attention.
He is very feeble and may continue
in his present condition some
months Register.

Il was Sure a Musical Treat.

Another engagements prevented
us from attending the recital which
was given at the opera house last
Tuesday night by the Messrs. Chas.
and Bert Shepherd and Irving
Snow, so we are unable to comment
upon the entertainment as we should
like to have done. However, those
with whom we have talked, who
were present, have spoken Of the
recital as being by far the finest
thing in that particular line that
they had the pleasure of attending
in this city. Each number on the
program was most heartily appreci-
ated by the audience, and the only
regets we have heard expressed
were that the young men could not
have prolonged the program fol
another hour or more.
It is pleasing to the Examiner tt
know that Bear Lake county has
produced two such noted musicians
as the Shepherd Brothers have
proven themselves to be, and W.
doubt not but what greater fam,
awaits them.

That good work was done by
James II. Wallis, during the
years he was in charge of that
department., no one denies,
but Jim had a penchant for
spending money, especially
other peoples money. There
is no question but what he
could have accomplished the
same results on less money
had he been obliged to do SO,
but be succeeded in making a
majority of the members of
the last two sessions of the
legislature believe that he
needed large appropriations
in order to obtain the results
he desired. After the last
legislature had appropriated
$40, 900 for the dairy, food and
sanitary department, Mr..
Wallis had the nerve to ask
for IN additional g., 500, but
his request was denied.

Governor. elect Alexander

Governor-elect Alexander
has announced that c.. o.
Broxon, editor of the Boise
Capital News, will be his pri
vate secretary. The selection
was no doubt a surprise to
many, especially to the faith
full ones in the democratic par
ty, who shouted and worked
loud and long for Alexander's
election, while Broxon was
whooping it up for McElroy,
the progressive candidate.
But really the old-line demo
Gratis, who may have had their
political eyes focused on that
''fat job" need not feel so bad
ly because Nose has seen fit
to select an ardent Bull MooS-
er as his right hand man, for
at heart there isn't a staunch-
er democrat in Idaho than
Broxon, even though he has
shouting for the progressives
lBtely. The efforts he has
put forth in the last two cam
paigns for the progressives,
, have in reality been in the in
terests of the democratic par
ty. The support he gave
Roosevelt two years ago ma
terially aided the democrats
in carrying the state for Will
son. The Capital News all
along has directed it's fight
mainly against the republi-
cans, and Broxon did more
than probably any other mar
in the state to keep the "dem,
ocratic aid society" in exis-
tence during the recent cam
paign, and he was really enti
tied to some reward for hi.
services.
But regardless of whethe,
Broxon is democrat or bull
mooser, we believe that Mos,
acted wisely in selecting hin
as his private secretary
Broxon is thoroughly ac
quainted with the condition
and needs of the state, an,
has the ability to edit all mes
sages and state papers whic.
Mr.. Alexander, as governor
may desire to issue.

In his campaign speeches
Nose Alexander laid all the
blame for high taxes in Idaho
onto the shoulders of the gov
errors, except in the case of
the Hawley administration,
when he switched the blame
to the republican legislature.
He also declared that he was
going to save the people of
Idaho a million dollars year,
without the aid or consent of
the legislature or any of the
other state officials.
Since the election Nose has
been talking in an entirely
different tone. In a recent
interview he said he hoped
the legislature would cooper
ate with him in reducing the
cost of government.
In an address before the
county commissioners of the
state which we're in session in
Boise this week, Mr.. Alexan-
der said ''the people of this
state are looking to the leuiS-
lature and the boards of coun-
ty commissioners to reduce
their taxes. If taxes are Too
high in the various counties,
the commissioners are respon-
sible for il" Nose is sure
some political jumping jack.
Two months ago he was tell :
ing the people that Gooding,
Brady and Haines, as govern
ors, were responsible for the
high taxes; now he is laying
the blame onto the county
commissioners.

J. K. White, the present

Sane men who canvass the expert
ence of other states where this expert
ment has been tested will never vote
for initiative measure No. 8.
Men who know the serious results
of business depressions do not idly
court them. Every fact and every fig
ure of all the states that have tried
emotional panaceas for fancied evils
and ills bear out my contention that
not a single good thing has ever re-
suited from the adoption of prohibit
ton. In the state of Washington it
would destroy a payroll of over 49,
100000 annually, throw more than
5000 men out of employment, destroy
immense realty and industrial values,
without even pretending to allay the
shipping in and consumption of IL
quor. Surely no man or woman in
his or her right mind can be for such
a measure. Tacoma Ledger Oct. 10.

WELFARE
OF STATE AT STAKE
PROHIBITION DANGERS TOLD
REALTY MEN.
Ellis Lewis Garretson Says 1t
Would Mean Thousands of
Vacant Buildings.

Dangerous economic effects that
would come to the state of Washing
ton should initiative bill No. 3, the
prohibition bill, be passed were point
ed out to the real estate men last
night at their banquet at the CONNER
cial club by Ellis Lewis Garretson.
He said:
Laws afe being proposed in the
state of Washington which affect the
commerce and the individuals of the
state alike.
THE trainers of one of these reform
measures say: This entire act shall
be deemed an exercise of the police
powers of the state, for the protection
of the economic welfare, health, peace
and morals of the people
Before taking up the question of
the economic welfare | want to tell
you little story which illustrates my
opinion of the moral aspect of this
bill. A sailor was unfortunate enough
to be wrecked near the coast of one
of the cannibal islands, After swim
ming ashore and lodging around I'M
der the brush for several days, not
making himself known to the natives
for fear he might furnish a meal in
stead of receiving one, his hunger fin
ally drove him to despair and he
found his way toward a light which
he observed in the distance. Before
giving himself up to what he supposed
were the cannibal inhabitants of the
island, he knelt down to dedicate his
soul to the Lord. He had hardly fin
ished his prayer when he heard the
exclamation from the clefts of the adj
jacent rocks: Who in the devil
trumped my ace?' He raised his eyes

the committee. | am frank enough to
say to you that | am out of harmony
with the prohibition movement by con-
stitutional provision or statute enact
ment. | know of a better way other
than by leqaized prohibition to secure
temperance and temperate habits, not
only in the liquor traffic but in any
of the personal activities Of men.
There is no movement in all the
country so potent to make the people
temperate as is the much misunder
stood and misrepresented organized
labor movement of the country. In
creasing wages, establishing shorter
work-day, affording the opportunities
for the cultivation of better tastes,
better aspirations, higher ideals, which
the better standard of living and free
dom of burdensome, long hours of toll
will bring, the opportunity for better
homes and surroundings and better
working conditions, all of these I re-
peat have been more potent in estab
fishing temperance and temperate ha
bits than any attempt to regulate the
personal habits or to inaugurate pro-
hibition by law.
"As you will observe, am not in
harmony with the purpose of your
movement, and hence cannot consist
emily accept an appointment upon the
committee. I therefore again respect
fully request you to remove my name
from the national constitutional pro
hibition committee on cooperation"
