SETTLERS FROM SWEET SAGE

A party of four came in from Sweet
Sage Wednesday morning and started
home in the evening. They drove
in from Taber and returned to Taber
for the night. The party consisted
of A. S. Hall, the man who was the
subject of the story some weeks ago
about a man who got ''Too close to
nature; M. L. Higgins, who tried
the speculation Of shipping a car of
potatoes from Sweet Sage to Black
foot when the market was down and
also got close to nature; A. l.. Gill

for the Idaho Daily Statesman en-
titled, "The Trail of the Serpent" !"

at the sinks of Little Lost river. and
b. L. Grau, who is just plain citi-
zen without any particular distinc-
tion so far as we have yet discovered
But he comes to Blackfoot occasion
ally and we may yet find that he is
doing some noteworthy things which
the public will want to know about,
most of them are on Little Lost.
'The Trail of the Serpent" was
published in the Statesman of Sun
day, June 7th, and is the most not
able tale of hardships and disappoint-
ment we have ever read in connection
with pioneering. If fills two pages
of that paper, and we may reproduce
it at some future time when we think
the local people need to be shown the
lot of somebody that is so much
harder than their own that it should
make them thankful for what they
have.

could - be had and probably the
case is now ended, with the editor
victorious. Many contemporaries be-
lieve he was unjustly accused and con-
victed and heartily sympathize with
his escape from the tolls. Let us
grant, for the sake of illustration as
we'll as in human charity, that he has
been improperly prosecuted and is
wholly innocent of the charge. Even
so, appearances were strongly against
him, so strongly so that he was ac-
cused in his own home, indicted upon
the testimony, convicted upon the
evidence, and saved only by dispas-
sionate review of the proceedings by
a distant and disinterested tribunal.
Granting, we say, the complete in
nocence of this defendant, it appears
that circumstances may so work
against a good man that his guilt is
clearly established upon due and law
full trial of all the facts, yet he may
be wholly without guilt. How much
more then should the public be chary
of finding guilty those who have not
been convicted, have never been in
dicted, have not even been formally
accused and have had no chance
whatever to defend themselves or to
set forth. the real facts in explana-
tion of the things that may look un-
favorable if not explained away.
Newspapers accusation or slur would
be to many sensitive persons quite as
CALLING as an accusation in court and
in many relations more so, since
there is not the same opportunity or
inducement to clear up the record as

Reports from Little Lost river are
to the effect that E. R. Hawley is
seriously Ill at his home at Clyde
His daughter Edith was summoned
by telegram from southern California
and passed through Blackfoot, Mon
day.
1t is our understanding that Mr..
Hawley became overheated or in
some manner the pressure of blood
in the head became abnormal and
he became delirious or unconscious
Reports are meager and may be mis-.
leading. Mrs. Hawley is at home.

CRITICISES
ALL OF Us

The Lewiston Tribune, one Of the
older conservative newspapers of
Idaho, has been giving attention to
matters of public interest in Bing-
ham county for some time, and last
week published the following article
which criticises all of us in kindly
manner and with much truth SO far
as they understand it.
There is very frequent complaint
made that the newspapers do not tear
into things as they should, or might,
that many abuses are permitted to ex-
ist without attack or exposure, that
bad men are allowed to flourish along
side of good men with impunity, and
so on interminably. All that is true,
doubtless, and the newspapers are
perhaps more or less guilty along the
lines complained of. Their only ex-
cuse is that they cannot always tell
the precise rights and wrongs as to
conditions or as to people, and that
what may look dark on the surface is
capable of being explained away very
reasonably, if the matter is once gone
into. Newspapers have long since
learned not to judge hastily or on ex-
parte hearsay and, moreover, while a
good many things might be better,
still they measure up to about the
average standard of mankind after
all, and If that particular incident or
condition or moral is to be attacked
for some minor inperfection or mis-
take or sin or folly, the general level
of conduct will have to be raised very
materially in order to make the con-
demnation justifiable or safe.
However, there is a newspaper in
south Idaho that just about fills the
bill in going after eyerything-or per-
haps it is still much truer to say
some things-that does not seem to
measure up to the strictest standard
The editor of that paper is receiving
numerous compliments at the hands
of his fraters for the fearless way
in which he attacks abuses. Candi-
dates, who are his neighbors and he
says his friends, are put on the block
and critically dissected for their blem-
ishes and weaknesses, with the judg-
ment that have been weighed in the
balance and found wanting; public
officials have had their Offices and
their conduct in office rigidly scrut-
inized and held up as being derelict
and slightly predatory; certain wit
nesses in a recent proceeding are
stripped to the hide in bringing out
their inconsistencies, prejudices, re-
creancy and general cussedness 1t
makes fine reading, in which the read
er heartily enjoys seeing others mer-
cilessly flayed and in which he ap-
proves the courage and the upright
ness of the editor who has no patience
with the faults and foibIes Of the
others.
''It appears, however, that this
same editor has only recently emerged
from court proceeding, in which he
was accused, indicted, tried and con-
victed of heinous crime. On appeal
the case was remanded for new trial
by the supreme court because of pre-
judicial errors occurring at the hear
ing. 1t is not believed, however, that
in view of the instruction from the
higher court a second conviction

So far as known here, the British
government has no intention of send

RUSSIAN VICTORY OVER
AUSTRIANS MOST CRUSHING

London, Sept. a. m.)-The Pc
trograd correspondent of the Post. de.
scribing the Russian advance on Lem
berg. says:
"The Austrians were concentrating
two more army corps toward the east
of their positions to face the Russian
Kiev district army. but the Russians
attacked before the Concentration was
completed.
ION Wednesday morning the Rus
slams were established all around the
northern, eastern and half of the
southern face OF the capital Lem
berg stands high above the surround
ing country, its obsolete defenses be-
ing supplemented by modern en-
trenchments.
1T would seem that the rout OF the
Austrian army. whose double duty 1t
was to cover Lemberg and also the
right flank OF the Austrian forces in
Poland, was so absolute that the Rus
SLAMS must have entered Lemberg at
the heels Of the runaways. for at ii
o'clock Thursday morning Lemberg
was entirely in Russian possession.
The military stores Of every kind, ex-
plosives, powder magazines complete,
wireless and telegraph installations. in
short. the whole equipment Of the I'M
portant military center, fell intact into
the hands OF the victorious Russians.
The capture of Halicz, which was
protected by thirty small forts, en-
tailed harder task as the Russians
were obliged to capture all the forts
and the Austrians made desperate re-
sistance.
.'The Russians had been fighting
continuously for eight days after a
previous week or ten days Of march
ing. The fighting and marching
troops of the Russian left wing COW

on the seventeenth after two days OF
hard fighting.
"All towns in Russia with a Ger

the Law form. This Is not due to the
fact that Russia Is at war with Ger
many, but Is Russias appeal to the
inexorable tribunal OF history against
the savage ferocity the unsoldierly
nation consistently displayed towards
helpless refugees.

caused here by the discovery aboard
the German cruiser Magdeburg,
which was recently blown up. of a
number of -nine-tails which
