fury sometimes speaks patroniz-
/ ingly about the ignorance and
i superstition of the middle ages
One would think there was no
such thing as superstition nowadays.
When my neighbours little girl, who Is
four. takes a patronizingly interest in a
small visitor aged two. and calls II "a
cunning baby" we are amused at the
humor of her. When the twentieth
century speaks patronizingly Of the SUI
perstition of the middle ages, II is al
most as absurd For many Of us are
still children as far as superstition goes.
And not only ignorant people. either,
but folks who are. or at least ought to
be, well educated.
An acquaintance of mine who has
two lovely children, a kind husband and
the best of prospects. has recently be-
come very much depressed. No, her
husband has not been unfaithful to her,
her children are not Ill, she has no
financial trouble. Nothing real Is the
matter. 1t is simply that she has bro
ken a mirror and Is worrying over the
portent Of death within a year, or of
seven years hard luck. She has ac-
tually made her husband and family
miserable over the silly little accident
In vain they try to reason her out of

insists that she has never known 1t to
fail Well, ! have. Five years ago

Moreover I have friend who says that
when he was at a camp with college
crowd one summer. they each bought
the little round hand mirrors, as there
were no others. And he Is sure they
broke at least half dozen of them
without any bad results.
| Again. A pleasant gathering was
entirely upset the other evening when
woman discovered that thirteen had
sat down to the table. She ran into
the other room and cried. Order was
finally restored by finding a fourteenth
guest. but the evening was spoiled. Sew

table were elderly. so / suppose the
chances are fairly strong that one OF

Why should not the legitimate campaign expenses of
local candidates be paid from the public fund and all other
expenditures be prohibited9
The selection of public official is public function
and not private snap At least that is the way it should

~ F course you know the story of
how Poeahontas saved the life of
Captain John Smith when he was
about to be killed by the Indians. But
have you ever heard the true story OF
the wedding of Pocahontas and John
Rolfe, about q year and half later
The marriage ceremony was curious
because it combined many crude Indian
customs with the English ways, which
were very much the same then as now.
The wedding was celebrated in the
only church in Jamestown, Virginia,
crude little building of stone and logs.
The inside walls were covered with
sweet smelling evergreens; great clus-
tiers of flowers and scarlet hollv berries
were placed here and there till the
church was As gay and fragrant as
could be-
The bride Pocahontas was dressed In
q long. loose robe of hand-woven, white
muslin and from her head hung long
white veil very much the same ~
brides wear now.
Fastened loosely around her feet was
4 rich robe given her by Sir Thomas
Dale. the Governor of the colony, and
heavily embroidered by Pocahontas and
her maidens.
A gaudy fiiet was bound around her
head and held In place feathers and
wings OF birds Of gorgeous colors. Her
wrists and ankles were adorned in real
Indian style with bands of Indian jew
eiry-carved and twisted bands OF
metal and beads in bright eolors.
The wedding procession started some
distance from the church. Down the
streets OF the little village they walked
Pocahontas with the Governor in front
the entire council. and the FIVE English
women of the colony next. and all the
nearby Indians last.
Into the little chapel they marched
and the marriage service was read bJ

GOOD REPUBLICAN REASONING.

According to the Capital News Potlatch timber land
sale $500 per than offered two years ago.
crime while timber sale to the Barber Lumber com
pany for $500 less than offered ten ago.
stroke of good business The difference that the
Potatch land is in north Idaho while the Barber lumber
holdings Boise, and it is with the Capital News
like with everybody else in the state capital the state
be damned when Boise chance to get something for
nothing.-Weser Signal.
Now let us just what the reasoning of the Weiser
paper in this matter That paper in effect plainly
as if words were used says 7'The Capital News was
wrong regarding the sale of timber to the Barber Lumber
company therefore, the Signal wishes to be wrong in de-
Tending the more recent Potlatch DEAL
Just what advantage there be to any newspaper
take attitude such that is than under
stand Let admit that the Capital News wrong in
regard the Barber dea how that justify the Signal
in its defense of another wrong deal?
There is very clear difference between the two DEALS
if the Weiser paper is unwilling to admit it. In the
first place. however the statement that the Potatch
pany paid So than it offered three years be-
fore the actual sale is untrue As have shown figures
not as yet disputed BY any one the sale was made at
price 81 II LESS, interest the money included
than offered pay three years before when the offer
refused because the price too low for land val
liable for agricultural purposes.
But in the at Boise, the purchasing company of
fered guaranty to do certain very valuable development
work which would make the balance of the states holdings
in the territory affected much valuable than they
that business proposition, the state
might have been willing if necessary and possible to have
lost the pending deal in order to make back
the future development The Capital News however
accepted the reports and statements of everyone the
Weser paper and its of authority that the price
offered adequate
In the of the Potath DEAL the sale tended to
tard the value of any other holdings the may have
that ocaty it tended to retard the value of all other
property that section and had been found by the
board two of whose members the same as them
that this particular land valuable for agricul-
tra purposes and instead of the sale guaranteeing
mediate development and activity it insured against it.
Moreover, the recent Potatch deal was put through
secretly while the Barber sale fully discussed
sdered for many weeks the greatest publicity being given
to the matter.
Now if the Capital News was wrong as the Weiser
paper declares in such the Barber deal how can
the Signal defend itself for excusng condonng and fail
ing to give the full facts in the Poatch case? Does de-
the conclusion to be reached that its opposition was
to Boise and not to the Barber sae such only it
might benefit this city?

tBy Selene Armstrong Harmony y
Mrs. John Z. Osborne. wife OF the
first assistant secretary of state, has
the two gifts most coveted by woman
kind. Only the gods can bestow them.
They are the gifts OF youth and
beauty.
And being young and pretty, she has
entered into the whirl of social life at
the capital with a frank enjoyment
that contributes no little to her popu-
iarity in official circles. She likes aft
ernoon receptions. The theater does
not bore her. II is no difficult task
for her to read the latest novel. In
short, she is full of enthusiasm over
being alive.
