LOWER RATES WANTED
ON ALL BRANCH LINES.

On behalf Of the People of the State
of Idaho Attorney General Peterson
has held a complaint with the public
utilities commission averring that the
IT branch railroad lines in the State
other than the Wood River and the
Central Idaho are still charging up
ward of four cents per mile for pas
sengers and are still discriminating
freight rates.
He therefore asks for an order re-
auiring uniform rates of three cents
per mile for passengers and equitable
rates for freight.

It would be a farce to arbitrate the
question whether or not Huerta should
fire twenty-one guns in our honor
without a written contract with us to
return the salute. That is the nom
inaI issue, or was a few days ago.
But the real issue is the establishment
of a government in AIexico with which
we and the world in general can get
on with tolerable assurance of safety
to life and property.
An adjustment that will bring less
than this. difficult as it is to attain,
would leave US just where we have
been for months, waiting for some
thing to turn up which would save US
from the appalling cost of assuming
the task of setting Mexico's house in
order by force of arms.

He began a search for the girl.
Finally he found her But she
wasn't the bright-eyed, innocent lit
tie girl he had seen before in the
sleepy village Of Laona. She was in
st. Demands Hospital. And the child
had been torn from her by an abor-
ton, leaving her struggling between
life and death.
For a long time the girl and her
uncle talked before she stiffled the
sobs that were racking her fraI body
and told him her story.
There wasn't anything new about
the story. It was the old one, with
same old characters-a girl, almost a
child, with imagination, looking for a
glimpse of the big cities over the hills,
and the man from the city ''who
could talk so eloqUently"
1t wasn't so surprising that the girl
should fall. And then came the day
of reckoning. Nature punished the
girl. She became desperate.
She thought of ending it all in the
little brook where she used to send

she couldn't quite gather courage.
And then she says she received a

.PAPAL SECRETARY

Pope MOurns End of Cardinal

died to-day from peritonitis, the out

Of this peritonitis it was considered
jmprudent to operate on him for ap-

soon after his appointment by Pope
Benedict on September to the office
of Papal Secretary of State.
Among the kilograms Of inquiry re-
ceived shortly before the Cardinals
death was one from NJ. BRAND, the
Minister of Justice of France. where
the Cardinal served once as Papal
Nuncio. The ability he displayed in
that post led many TO believe that the
breach between the Church and the
State in that country would not have
occurred if he had remained there.
The death of the Cardinal. although
not unexpected, greatly affected the
pontiff. The news was conveyed to him
by telephone. and his comment was;

from me q dear friend and my right
