HOW WE GET THE NEWS

Day before yesterday a perfectly
nice lady called us up and with tears
in her voice reproved us for not men
tioning the fact that she had friend
visiting her last week. We told her
that she had net let us know any
thing about it and that therefore, we
did not know that she had visi-
tor. Then she said, "Well you should
have known. l thought you were run
ming newspaper" Wouldn't that
rattle your Stats? Some people think
that an editor ought to be q cross be-
tween Argus and Anna Eva Fay. They
seem to think that our five senses
are augmented by a sixth that let's
us know everything that happens, ev-
en- if we see, hear, feel taste or smell
it not. Dear lady, editors are only
human or at least, almost human. If
you have friend visiting you, if
you are going away, or have return
ed from visit out of town, if John
ME falls and breaks his arm. if your
husband chops his toe instead of a
stick of wood, if anything happens
that makes you glad, or sad, happy
or mad, call us up. Tell us about
it. That's the way to set it in the
paper.

The appointment of Mr.. Hit to the
position in question is distinct CON-
pliment to the man and a recognition
of ability and qualification, and poll
tics has had nothing to do with the
matter, although Mr.. Hit is a demo
crat and has affiliated with that
party all OF his life. He has taken
a decided and active interest in state
politics the past several years in Ida
no, and is a close personal friend Of
Governor-olect Alexander.
Mr.. Hit has been associated with
Anderson Bros. bank of this city for
a number of years and is qualified
in every particular to hold the posi-
ton in question, his personal and bust
ness experience being such that he
has a wide acquaintance with bank
ers and the banking business of the
state. Mr.. Hit served the county as
treasurer the year the county was or
ganized. having been appointed by
Governor Hawley.
The appointment of Mr.. Hit is a
distinct compliment. not only to the
man, but to the institution which he
represents, which is the oldest state
bank in Idaho, and his friends
throughout the state feel highly graft.

AS 1T SHOULD BE

In the school house in Relleville,
Wis, few evenings ago, upon motion
of the Catholic priest, the Methodist
minister was elected president CT the
community's social center for the
coming winter.
Then three basket ball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, a
farmer, the keeper of the village res
taurant, dentist, clothier, team
ster. druggist, a garage owrer, the
banker. the saloonkeeper, a hardwars
merchant and house painter.
They differed in religion, in poll
tics, in income, in social status about
as widely as men can differ. But
in the common school building, in the
free democracy of the social center
they agreed to lay aside their dir
ferences for the novel purpose of dis
covering how much good fellowship
there was in meeting together. now
and then, as equals, as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the
democracy Of frank, fair discussion OF
public questions, they are finding out
these differing men of Belleville, that
as human beings. they're amazingly
alike. once you get below the surface
And out of this agreeable discovery
will come, for Belleville. more toler.
ance. more kindness of feeling, more
give and take than it had ever known
before Even when they shall differ
again-as. Of course, they often will
1t won't be with as much bitter
ness. as much bigotry. as much NEAR
hate as OF yore.
It's wonderful solvent, is brother
hood.

IDAHO FALLS MAN
GETS APPOINTMENT

1t was announced yesterday throug b
an unofficial source that Governor
elect Alexander was to offer Mr.. G..
Russell Hit of this city, connected
with Anderson Bros. bank, the posi-
ton OF state bank commissioner, or
examiner. one of the best positions
open for appointment at the hands of
the governor. and one much coveted
and sought after, and one for which
the aspiring applicants bring all OF
their influence to bear to land.
The appointment comes to MI. Hit
entirely unsolicited on his part.
though a number of his political and
personal friends throughout the state,
and particularly at Boise where he
made his home for a number of
years. have urged him to state that
he would accept the appointment were
it rendered to him.
In discussing the matter last night.
Mr.. Hit stated that he had not been
an applicant for the appointment in
that he had never asked for it. The
matter had been brought up to him
by those close to the governor and
he had been asked Il he would accept
tho appointment If it was made Mr..
Hit stated that no appointment for
the place had been made as yet SO
far as he knew.

THE KNOCKERS

Wherever l have been I've studied
men,
And found that certain types are
everywhere
The knocker is nuisance, and has
been.
Around him, sunbeams are a blessing
rare
There is never anything entirely good.
In every way it could be brought to
USE
The best man could be useless if he
would.
By using his tongue powers for rank
abuse
Who has not seen the knocker at
his game?
They often live within a CLASSY home
And when their neighbors turn the
wretched fame,
Their glass house tumbles down about
their dome
Within this very town I've seen their
fate,
Have watched them pull each other
over hard;
Then sometimes see their peril but
too late,
For some one else could throw all on
tho sward.
If some one does not like our way
in life.
There is no use working against us
in our line,
Especially if their own means of life
Is kindred, for they will be cast out
to pine.
Why, Grimes and Gloomy arc upon
the shelf
Because, they rowed and made the
air so foul
That people cast them out as kings
Of pelf.
So hand in hand they often moan and
Now, let us each help show the
sunny ray
Existing even near the grim old cloud.
Let us speak of all in the very kind
est way.
By this means. we help earn a spot
less shroud.
The honest man is faithful to mankind
And readily he puts a hopeful trust
know that every one Is sure TO
find
That knockers only grovel in the
dust.

FINAL HONORS ARE
PAID JOSEPH SMITH

Independence, Mo-, Dec. 13.-With-
out flowers, drapcry or pageantrys the
body of Joseph Smith, president Of
tho Reorganized Church of Latter-day
Saints, who died Thursday, was bur-
led here today.
In accordance with the directions
given by the patriarch on his death
bed, the services were simple. A
few of his favorite hymns were sung.
Elder Joseph Luff, lifelong friend,
preached the sermon.
The body lay in state in the local
temple throughout the daylight hours.
During the services a revercnt throng
crowded the church and stood in the
snow outside, to do homage to the
memory of the dead patriarch. It was
a spirit of quiet respect, rather than
deep grief that manifested itself, for
numbers of times on his deathbed,
President Smith said he would rath-
or 60 than stay.
Don't try to keep me-" he said.
II have lived my allotted years"
Immediately after the services, the
quorum Of the twelve apostles, the
highest ruling body in the church,
called meeting fer tomorrow morn
ing, to choose new spiritual leader.
Several years ago Joseph Smith an
nounced a divine revelation that his
son, Frederick M. Smith, should be
his successor. It is believed the
voice Of prophecy will be accepted.
