THE sHorGUNs SWING THE DEAL.

Every one who has engaged in the useful and pro-
htabe pastime of swapping horses knows that old
shotgun will often turn the trick We have available
the statistics but the assertion that in the annals
of swapping nothing has appeared frequently as
boot than shotgun. Nothing is effcacous than
an old shotgun be it and harmless This
applies to politics well horses The political shotgun
of Idaho is Charley Broken He has appeared in more
deals OF questionable ethics the shotgun than all others
combined. Mr.. Broxon to Idaho as Democrat He
was elevated to position by Governor Steunenberg 1t
became expedent for Governor Steunenberg to have
shotgun at Pocsello With judgment that was rare he
selected Charley Broxon So wise he that his protge
selected Charley Boxon So wise he that protege
Brady desired the control of the Capital News and Richard
Story Sheridan desired money In fact each needed
other. The two at deadlock for time Finally
Brady sprung his shotgun and the swap made Now
comes Governor Alexander with desire for the control
of the Capital News and again the shotgun the trick
Charley is shotgun but the remarkable thing about
him is that in every instance he is looked upon as iabi
y rather than The in the favorable posi-
ton always insists showing him off the other man.
If we were to go into politics and could not be boss
we would try cultivate the habits and instincts of
shotgun. The unreliable we could be and the more
1eapdated could appear the betten We would take
Charley Broxon as our pattern-provided were in
politics.

The only critic who helps me is
the critic whose humility keeps
pace with his acuteness, who leads
me gently where he has himself

and ravage the regions which he
has not been able to desire to ex-
plore. The man who will show me
unexpected connections, secret
paths of thought, who will teach
me how to extend my view. how I
may pass quietly from the known
to the unknown; who will show me
that stars and flowers have voices
and that running water has a quiet
spirit of its own; and who in
the strange world of human life
would unveil for me the hone and
fears, the deep and varied passions.

ANOTHER "REFoRM. spAsM HITS CALDWELL

chance and of skill are slated for the toboggzn.

was going straight perdition the gambling route
and Jealous souls Immediately started in to save them
his is interesting 1t that youthful human nature
bent on self destruction If they denied the saloon
route they take up with gambling If cards are taken
away from them they tddlewnks What are we
going to do about it? The youth must be saved and
yet this youth spends their waking hours converting
innovent devices into instruments of the devil
TIL Tribune is becoming discouraged We have been
told that by simply doing away with evil the country
would be saved, yet this evil is no sooner done away
with than another takes its place We wonder if we
are really making much progress in reforms 1t seems
that there many roads destruction that it is of
little use to close up gap here and there
