BROKE THRU ICE
ON BEAR LAKE

Fish Haven, Jan. 26.-About 10
o'clock Thursday morning, Jan. 81,
Ernest and Ralph Smith broke
through the ice, while skating on
Bear Lake, and narrowly escaped
being drowned. The two young
men and Ernest Erickson we're skat-
ing and when about quarter of a
mile from shore Ernest Erickson sat
down to tighten one of his skate
strapes. As he finished bucklinR
the strap he glanced up and saw the
two Smith boys struggling in the
water. He hurried to their assist
ance, but soon realized that he could
do nothing without rope or other
help, 50 he skated as fast as he could
to shore, and securing a plank from
the corral OF Nephi Williamson. he
skated back to the boys, who were
holding onto the ice but unable to
pull themselves up out Of the water
He soon rescued Ralph, but Ernest
Smith is quite large and had on {
heavy sheepskin lined coat, and thes
were afraid the plank would break
Mr.. Erickson made another trip u
shore and got a rope, but before hs
returned TO the Smith boys, Ralpl
had succeeded in getting his brother
out of the water.
By this time a number of people
had gathered on the ice and tn
boys were taken home as quickly a
possible. Ralph was none the wors
for his ducking in the icy water
but as Ernest was in the water con
siderably longer he was well mig
exhausted and 1t was necessary t
rub him vigorously for several min
utes in order to revive him. Bot
boys would undoubtedly have drown
ed had it not been for the promp
action of Ernest Erickson.

SAME OLD
GAME AT BOISE

There is no millennium in sight for
Idaho as a result of the change of
administration, says the Boise cor
respondent to the Lewiston Tribune.
/ find that while there is loud talk
on all sides around the state house
for economy, efficiency and higher
standard Of public life, there is the
same smell of buncombe, the
same sickening exhibition Of peanut
politics, the same confidence game

neglect of the things that are really
worth while.
was in the house of representa-
tives Wednesday morning. The ses-
sion lasted for less than an hour and
most of that time was taken up in
debating whether or not the SER
geant-at-arms should be authorized
to spend $25 for postage to send
copies of the journal and copies Of
bills to citizens who desired them.
Anderson, the democratic foor
leader, arose in his place in the cen
ter of the hall, secured recognition
from Speaker Conner in the chair
and moved that this S25 of the peo
pies money be spent in this way
Johnston, the republican floor lead
er, opposed. He thought the mem
bers should pay the postage out oi
their allowance. Then the debatt
became general. One member sug
gested that each member turn ovel
81 90 worth of stamps to the ser
geant-at-arms for this purpose. Thi
was opposed. Then it was discover
ed that part of the S1.00 wort
should be in stamps and part in pa
per wrappers. Then it was charge,
that this horizontal levy on the mem
bers would be unfair as some woul
mail out more stuff than others. al

ordinary attention. Senator Borah
had the most fiattering audience that
has been given any senator in four
years and the ovation that greeted
him when he concluded his attack up
on the administration has never been
excelled on the floor of the senate.
Every big eastern newspaper devot-
ed at least two, and some Of them
three, columns to his speech, and the
editorial comment that followed was
most fiattering to the senator and to
his friends.
If the republicans of the United
States senate were to pick the repub-
lican nominee for president in 1916
there is no doubt, since the Borah
speech, as to who would be chosen.
The one man deemed best fitted to
make answer to President Wilson is
the first choice of his colleagues for
presidential honors in 1916. Many
republican senators have been frank
enough to declare their preference
for Senator Borah; most republican
senators admit, when questioned,
that the Idaho senator, as a result of
his reply to President Wilson and
because of his demonstrated fitness,
must be reckoned with when the
next republican national convention
assemblies.
One strange thing has developed
in connection with the Borah move
ment-a movement, by the way,
VIII h has Leen entirely spontaneous
ana has not been backed by press
agent or pi blicity bureau. In the
west allusion is occasionally made to
the fact that Senator Borah is handi.
capped by his geographical location
that he halls from a far western
state which has small electoral vote
and that for this reason he cannot be
expected to land the presidential
nomination. That talk is not hearG
in the east; it is not referred to BY
eastern papers nor by eastern repub
licans. Rather, the disposition il
the east seems to be to weigh Sena
tor Borah for what he actually i
and to measure him alongside othe
candidates, to determine whether h,
or some other republican is best fit
ted to lead the republicans in 1916
The geographical equation does no
seem to interest eastern republican
or eastern papers. And when tn
question is deliberately raised tn
response of eastern men is that tn
time has come when geography ma
be ignored in selecting men for tn
presidential nomination. In time
past geography has been a big fae
I tor; it may be in 1916. But it
not SO regarded at the present tins

SENATOR BORAH is
PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY
His Recent Speech Answering President Wilson'S
Indianapolis Address Puts Him in the Run
ning-Choiee Of Republican Senator's.

The speech of Senator Borah of
Idaho, in answer to President Will
sons speech at Indianapolis, in addi-
tion to attracting widespread atten-
ton to the shortcomings and mis-
takes of the present administration,
served to place the Idaho senator
squarely in the Republican presiden-
tial race, writes the Washington cor
respondent to the Boise Stateman.
Prior to that speech Senator Borah
was much talked of as a presidential
possibility in 1916, but his recent
speech added emphasis to this talk
and especially SO in view of the man
ner in which that speech was made.
The republicans of the senate were
much wrought up by what the pres
ident said at Indianapolis, especially
with regard to the republican party,
and it was quickly agreed among
them that someone should make an
swer to the president.
The situation was canvassed at
some length, and finally it was agreed
that Senator Borah of Idaho should
be put forward as the senator most
able to reply to the president. Sem
ators like Root of New York and
Lodge of Massachusetts joined with
senator's like Norris of Nebraska and
Clapp of Minnesota in urging Sena-
tor Borah to answer the president,
and it was at the earnest personal
solicitation of no less than 20 sena-
tors that Senator Borah undertook a
task from which mos m vo Id
shrink.
Il is a u XII l job to get up n the
senate or in any other place and ar
raign the chief executive of this ma.
ton, and few men relish the idea of
publicly condemning president for
what he may have said in some pub
lie address. But Senator Borah felt
as did other republican senator's
that the words of the president
should not go unchallenged and wher
he was SO generally appealed to t.
voice the sentiments of republican,
he willingly accepted the assignment
The success with which Senate
Borah assailed the president was test
flied by the reception given him il
the senate while he was speaking AM
when he concluded, and by the no
tees his speech received Throughout
the press of the country. Senate
Borah spoke without notice, he di'
not even prepare his remarks in ad
vance for the newspapers; in fact h
spoke without text and withou
notes. Before he had pregresse
far he found a well filled senate lii
tening to his criticism of the Wilso
administration and for the first tim
in several years he found crowde
galleries following his every wort

field and it was predicted then that
there would be others on the day of the
election and that some who had made
public announcement would not go be-
fore the court when it convenes. Up
to this date there have been no with
drawals so far as The Falcon has learn
ed and all who announced will go be-
fore the court asking to be elected
There may be others, in fact indications
point that way.
With as many candidates in the field
as are at this time and others prospect
ing, there is little room to predict
what may be the final outcome of the
race. 1t is right laughable to hear
assurances from this candidate and that
and the other that they have so many
votes pledged to them and these votes
will stick, and when an outsider counts
up these pledged votes it makes MOI e
than the number of justices in the court.
1t is easy to see that somebody is being
misunderstood by candidates.

The annual picnic of the Presbyterian
church and Sundy school took place
last Friday. The crowd gathered at
the church at 8 o'clock in the morning
and were loaded Into three large hay
wagons. many others going out in
private conveyanees. The entertain
ment committee did good work. There
was plenty of cold lemonade and ice
water. Several swings were provided
and various games were enjoyed by the
young and old alike. A beautiful picnic
dinner was served about / o'clock to
over a hundred joyful persons. Late
in the evening the wagons were re-
loaded and all reported reluctantly
for home each giving the other hearty
vote of thanks for the good time.
Songs and yells were heard all along
the way as the wagons went from home
to home leaving tired but happy picnic
ers, all looking forward to June 1916
when they hope to go again.
E. H. Reeves of Jackson was in Som
erville last Saturday installing new
man in the Cumberland Telephone
service here to succeed G. M. Terry.
The new men is j. G. Allen whom Mr..
Reeves assures Us to be one of the
most efficient linemen and construction
men in the service of the company.
Mr.. Allen has been troubleman at
Union City and other such important
offices and is said to be thoroly familiar
with every detail of telephone cons
truction and repair. The business of
the Office will be in the hands of Miss
Effie Cooke who was installed as chief
operator two or three weeks ago. Mr..
Reeves assures The Falcon that his
company intends to do every thing
possible to give good service here and
requests that complaint be made to him
in Jackson if the service is not made
satisfactory in the next few days. He
explains the inefficiency of the service
recently as due to installing a new OPP
orator who is unfamiliar with the
names here and the further fact that
nine tenths of the calls are made by
name instead Of by number as the com
pany 5 rules require. We are trusting
that Mr.. Reeves is right and the
service may in future be all we are
wanting.

Endorses Us.

Mr.. EDITOR
We endorse your editorial of last
week in regard to the rotten service
furnished the people of Somerville by
the Cumberland Telephone Company
but think you err somewhat in the
causation thereof. The Cumberland
Telephone Company under the manage
ment of Leland Hume in Tennessee
gave its patrons good service and as its
patronage in Somerville increased so
did also the necessary help so impera-
lively necessary to furnish satisfaction.
What Is the matter with the service in
Somerville? This gigantic corporation
stretching out in every direction, put
ting in underground wires in cities and
etc. has incurred an enormous expense
and in order TO meet the losses incident
to such expenses for improvements
they have cut down the number of
their employees as well as increased
their labors. | am told that recently
at this place that Mr.. Terry was re-
quired to take charge of nearly three
times the amount of line work which
he had in charge heretofore and that
the number of operators were reduced
and while Mrs. Terry was in charge no
wholesale complaint was heard, because
of her experiences and efficiency and
familiarity with the phone numbers in
/ different homes and Offices; but when
the new regime was installed we felt
the sudden change. And right here We
differ with you, Mr.. Editor, and are not
disposed to criticize or find fault with
those at the Board or on the line who
are doing the best they can but who
like the children of old were required
to make bricks without straw" Tip
ton county has phones in over 700 farm
houses and at cost of so cents per
month you can talk any where in Tip
ton County. Nearly every county in
Tennessee has similar service except
Fayette county. Here We pay war
time rents per month and can't talk
outside of Somerville except on party
lines without additional charge. Oak
land, Macon and Williston are organic
ing an independent system and now il
the time for Somerville to join them.
Our service is too poor here for the
price we have to pay. Z.
