THE ONE NOW SERVING IDAHO
WITH MARKED ABILITY AND
OTHER is SAME MANNER OF
MAN.

Congressman Addison r. Smith in a
personal letter to a Shoshone friend
states that he expects to be held at
Washington for month or six weeks
longer at his post Of duty. OF all the
Idaho delegat tion in Congress land they
are likewise faithful to their constit
uents) Mr. Smith always has been first
at the call from this part Of the state,
A case in point showing his readiness
and ability to serve our people is that
Of John W Morton who owns tract
Of land that should have been patented
two years ago. Mr.. Morton had COM
piled with all the requirements to en-
title him to the patent and yet for one
reason or another it had been delayed
and tangled up in a mass Of red tape
that had become discouraging.
Harry Anderson, who is the handy
man of a good many people himself,
told Mr.. Morton one day that NJ
Smith, he thought. could and would
very quickly untangle his difeu,ties
with the Interior department if the
matter were brought to the Congress
mans attention. This was done forth
with and the other day the long de-
layed patent was forthcoming. Scores
Of such cases are reported Of the useful
and effective way in which Mr.. Smith
accompIishes results. He simply
knows how from long acquaintance
with the departmental methods that
prevail at the National Capital His
services at Washington have become
Indispensable Not only should he be
nominated by his party but on election
day in November his vote should be
a vote Of appreciation expressed for
untiring industry and attention TO
duty in behalf Of all the people Of his
state. There are mighty few men his
equal in public life.
The Journal is not authorized by
anybody to say this word for our able
representative. But he deserves pub
lie commendation. Moreover in his
candidacy there is no suggestion from
him so far as we know as to his run
ming mate But man just like him
in many of the attributes Of useful
craftsmanship may be found in Rob I
ert o. Jones. who halls from the Norta
in this State. Jones himself is a work |
er, puts on no style other than that If /
an earnest, sincere man in every I
thought and act and has long been
identified with men Of achievement in

Bv HALL CAME

1t seem to you that l am entitled to
know why she is being so suddenly
taken away from me, and what is
the change in life which Mr. O'Neill
referred to in his letter."
The smile which had been playing
around the Bishops face was smitten
away from it by that question, and
he looked anXiously across at my
father
Tell her." said my father, and
then, while my heart thumped in my
bosom and the Reverend Mother
stroke my hand to compose me, the
bishop gave a brief explanation.
The time had not come when it
would be prudent to be more def
mite, but he might say that Mr..
O'Neill was trying to arrange a happy
and enviable future for his daugh-
ter, and therefore he wished her to
return home to prepare for it.
Does that mean marriage?" said
the Reverend Mother.
1T may be so. | am not quite

And that husband has. already

That, too; perhaps. I will not
"Monsignor." said the Reverend
Mother, sitting up with dignity, 'is

"Fair?"
rs 1t fair that after ten years in
which her father has done nothing
for her. he should determine what
her life is 10 be, without regard TO
her wish and will?'
raised my eyes and saw that the
bishop looked aghast.
Reverend Mother, you surprise
me-" he said. Since when has a
father ceased to be the natural guar
dian of his child? Has he not been
so since the beginning of the world
Doesn't the church itself build its
laws on that foundation"
Does it," said the Reverend
Mother shortly. And then q could
feel her hand trembling as she
spokel; Some of its servants do, |
know. But when did the Church say
that anybody-no matter whoa
father, or anybody else-should take
the soul of another and control it,
and govern it, and put it in prison ~
My good lady" said the Bishop,
would you call it putting the girl
in prison to marry her into an illus
trious family, to give her an historic
name, to surround her with the dig

his hand, Il guess it's my right to

saw that my fathers face had
been darkening while the Reverend
Mother spoke, and now, rolling his
heavy body in his chair so as to face
her, he said:

say I've done nothing for my gel here

NINETEENTH CHAPTER.

TSAW as by fash of light, what
was before me, and my whole
soul rose in rebellion against it.
That my father after all the years
during which he had neglected me,
should come to me now, when my
plans were formed, and change the
whole current of my life was an
outrage-an iniquity. 1t might be his
right-his natural right-but if so
his natural right was a spiritual
wrong | would resist ito my
last breath and my last hour l would
resist H.
Such were the brave thoughts with
which ! passed that night, but at
0 o'clock next morning, when | was
summoned to meet my father himself,
it was on trembling limbs and with
quivering heart that | went down
to the Reverend Mothers room.
Except that his hair was whittier
than before my father was not much
changed He rose as | entered, say
ing, Here she is herself" and when
went up to him he put his hands
on my shoulders and looked into my
face
quite J little Italia- woman

he said, and then speaking over my
head to the Bishop, who sat on the
other side Of the room. he added:
Guess this will do, Bishop"
Perfectly" said the Bishop

continued scrutiny. with a feeling Of
being looked over for some uneX-
planned purpose, when the Reverend
Mother called me. and turning - so
to her | saw by the look of pain on
her face that she, too, had been hurt
by it,
She put me to sit on a stool by
the side of her chair and taking my
right hand she laid it in her lap and
held it there during the whole of the
interview.
The Bishop whom | had never
seen before was the first to speak.
He was a type of the fashionable
ecclesiastical, suave, smiling fault
ieSSly dressed in silk Soutane and
silver hucltled shoes and wearing a
heavy gold chain with a jeweled cross.

Such was the substance Of the

religious books-thc life of Saint Te-
sesa. the meditations of Saint Fran
els Of Sales, and, above all. the let
ters and prayers of our Blessed Mar
garet Mary AlacoQue, whose love OF
the Sacred Heart was like flaming
torch to my excited spirit.
The soul OF Rome, too, seemed to
enter into my soul--not the new
Rome, for OF that knew nothing, but
ne old Rome, the holy city, that
could speak to me in the silence of
the night within the walls of my con

resolution grew.

aurora of a new spiritual life, but
| when | think how my nature was
