THE FARM BOYS CREED

II believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
OF doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. l believe
that work with nature is more inspil-
ing than work with the most intricate
machinery. l believe that the dignity
of labor depends not On what you
do, but how you do it; that toppor-
tunity comes to boy on the farm
as often as to the boy in the city;
that life is larger and freer and hap
pier on the farm than in the town;
that my success depends not upon
my location, but upon myself; net
upon my dreams, but upon what l
actually do; net upon luck, but upon
pluck. l believe in working when
you work, and in playing when you
play, and in giving and demanding a
square deal in every act of life."

VOTE mo" THREE TIMES

In studying the threeproposed amend
ments to the state constitution which
are to be voted upon at the general
election the voter is at loss for suf-
ficient reasons for such changes. All
of them concern mportantdepartment
OF the state government, and for this
reason will doubtless develop into
osition-which, according to cur
views, will be proper.
The first question reads: Shall
section /, article 4, CT the constitII-
tion of the state OF Idaho be SO amend
ed as to provide that the terms of
office of all officers CT the executive
department shall be four years from
the first Monday in January next az
ter their election
Where any benefit TO the state
of the above is not known. Elections
will be held every two years anyway.
The only difference would be that
the seeker Of the customary second
term would get eight years in office,
when four should lie enough.
The second question reads: Shall
section 6, Of article 5, of the consti-
tuition of the state Of Idaho be so
amended as to increase the suprmee
court to five justices in place of
three"
The additional expense to be in
CURED here would amount to $4,000
per year, which, however, would be
trivial if any advantage were certain
The amendment is favored by {,
large number of attorneys on the
ground that by the present system
too much power is given to three
men and that in many instances the
opinion Of one of the judges decides
cases in which millions are involved
With the number increased to five
tn echance for onc-mandecisions would
be just as large-and it is no easier
for five men to be honest than it is
for three.
The third amendment reads: Shall
section Z, Of article 8, of the con-
stitution CT the state OF Idaho be so
amended as to remove the superin-
tendent Of public instruction from
membership en- the state board of
land commissioners"
The superintendent should have
some right in the handling of school
lands and certainly in no way inter
feres with the general purposes Of
the state land board. The superin-
tendency should not be made APP
pointive.
We say: VCtc'No" all the way
down.

II. BRADY
Candidate for u. S. Senate.
WHY FIVE JUDGES?

When everybody is talking economy
and retrenchment, and we certainly
need it badly enough, why should
the people be asked to vote an addi-
tional annual expense Of fifteen thou-
sand dollars for two more Supreme
Judges? The editor of this paper
has tried to get reliable Information
to give his readers on this subject
and believes he is in a position to
intelligontly discuss the matter. The
business Of the court is not now ma
terially increasing in volume Two
mon have done the bulk Of the bust
ness for several years and have kept
up with the work SO well that any
litigant who really wanted case
heard could get a hearing, within thilt
days at any time.
Notwithstanding the continued alb
sence and inability of Justice Stewart
only fifty-four cases were left on the
of July for the summer vacation
When the term opened on September
IA, the entire list of cases on the
docket numbered only ninety-o one
Three live active men who are able
and willing to earn their salary can
dispose Of those cases in three months
A man who can not write two cases
week had better stay off the bench
he is not the man for the place
Think of it, three men for ninety-one
cases and calling fer two more to
help do the work. But, it is a safe
guess that half those cases are not
ready for argument If they were
all set the court couldn't get the
attorneys into court to argue one
half of them, perhaps a third will be
dismissed or compromised Then a
dozen or fifteen of these same cases
have been heard once by two judges
and they have disagreed and the
cases are simply there for rehearing.
In face CT all these facts the ques-
ton arises: Why have five judges
when three live ones can do the
work?
! Two additional judges will mean
at least fifteen thousand dollars ad-
ditonal expense each year and only
about one citizen in five thousand
ever has any cases in the Supreme
Court or any interest in any case
there. The people at large have to
pay the bill for running courts to
accommodate the few who go to law
The safe and wise thing to do will
be to defeat this judgship amend
ment-amendment No. Sand it would
not be lad idea to beat the other
two as well-American Falls Press

LATEST SOCIETY FAD

The latest fad in society is the tub
cure. In this the patient arises
just as the crisp air of the morning
is mellowed by the first sunbeam.
An ordinary washtub is then filled
with hot water and soap suds, into
which various articles Of linen are
thrown After they are thoroughly
saturated the patient takes them up
one at time and rubs them briskly
up and down on washboard in the
tub. This is kept up until the hands,
arms and face are glowing pink. The
patient then goes into the open air
and hangs all the linen articles on
a line stretched for that purpose. The
one completing the task first an
nounces the time to the others over
the telephone. and is entitled to a
prize. 1t is exciting sport and also
invigorating exercise.

A NAME FOR EVERY FARM

The custom of naming the farm
is spreading all over the United State:
Iowa is probably ahead of other states
at present but it's lead is threatened
Farmers are not naming their places
for mere sentiments sake, although
that has lot to do with the choice
of names. The farmer recognizes the
advertising value that a good farm
name creates. Charles Dillon, OF
the Kansas Agricultural College, point
ed to this feature when he said:
| "Why don't you advertise, Mr.
Farmer? Get name for your farm
and then advertise your farm by that
name. Suppose you choose the name
| Fairview Then buy under the name
Fairview, sell under the name of Fair
view, have your butter marked Fair.
view, print Fairview on your berry
boxes and have eggs marked Fair
view, paint Fairview on your wagon
boxes and have Fairview printed on
your letter heads and envelopes. 1t
won't be long before the name of
your farm is known and the people
will be calling fer your products. The
town merchant adyertises and the
farmer can just as we'll advertise his
butter, eggs and produce"

ace On The
Silver Dollar

Probably the average person is too
busy trying to catch the silver dollars
ever to bother his head as to who was
the original of the face on the coin.
There was not only model fer the
design, which model was a beautiful
young American girl, but there is an
interesting bit of history and a fine
illustration Of the queer pranks fate
may play connected with the face OF
the dollar, says the Washington Post.
A few years previous tC the civil
war a daughter of DR. Arthur r. Viii
liams, wealthy southern slave own
er, became engaged to marry Henry
Williams of Philadelphia, Beporre the
wedding took place, however, the
brides father suffered such financial
reverses as to be left penniless. Miss
Willis, however; was married to Viii
liams, and the young couple moved to
Philadelphia, where in the course of
years the husband made fortune.
Eight children were heirs, but later
the fortune, through mismanagement,
was lost by the father, and, durin :
the civil war, when the ninth child
arrived in the Williams family, there
was scarcely enough to eat The say
ing that cit never rains but it pours''
was probably cid then; at any rate,
it seems to have been true, for when
this youngest child, daughter named
Anna Willis Williams, was still an
infant, her father died
The mother struggled for years in
poverty to bring up and educate her
children, and, when these were grown
to manhood and womanhood, the Unit
ed States treasury department secured
the service Of George Morgan, de-
signer and cngravcr. 1t was Mr.. Nor
CAMS duty to design the new silver
dollar that was about to be issued.
and Mr.. Morgan was attached to the
mint in Philadelphia
The reverse side CT the coin gave
Mr.. Morgan little worry, and was
soon. completed. But in his efforts
to find g model fer the face of the
dollar, Mr.. Morgan was unsuccessful
until he CHANGED to make the acquaint.
ance of the artist, Thomas Erskine,
who knew of young lady, he said
who was a vertablo living Venus, and
suggested to Mr.. Morgan that possibly
she might be satisfactory for the
model,
Miss Anna Willis Williams, the
daughter of the father who made Il
fortune and lost it, and the grand
daughter of the bankrupt slave own
err, the child who from the day of
her birth had known nothing but pov-
erty, was the young lady suggested
by the artist, and it is her face that
appears on the front of the silver
dollar. Thus, it may he said that it
required three generations Of fin2n-
cial disaster and poverty to develop
the model for the dollar of the land.
