ANOTHER BUSINESS CHANGE

Monday another business change
took place in Star when the Star
Drug Store changed hands Mr.. G.
w. Chinn. of Weiser, buying the en-
tire stock with the exception of the
soda fountain. Mr.. Chinn is an ex-
perienced druggist being in the bust
ness at Weiser for nine years and a
half, prior to that in Caldwell. He will
move his family here as soon as pos
sible. Earl Hall has not yet decided
what line of endeavor he will follow
now but may run the soda fountain
business again. Mr.. CHM will con-
duct the business on the same up-to-
date lines as formally, the aim being
to keep abreast of the demands of the
times.-Star Courier.
Mr.. Chinn is very we'll known to
the old timers of Caldwell. He is
trustworthy man and a good citizen
for any community.

THE POPULAR GIRL

She can smile when things go wrong
and does not consider every disap-
pointment calamity.
She shares her pleasures and keeps
her troubles to herself.
She never makes the faults of her
friends a subject Of conversation, is
slow to criticism and can always find
something kind to say about every
one.
She accepts favors gracefully and re-
turns them gladly.
She does not shift her responsible
ties to others but cheerfully lends a
hand to Tighten her neighbours load.
She strives to keep on the sunny
side but is ever ready with helpful
sympathy for those who walk in the
shade.
She is loyal to her friends, tender
and devoted to those she loves and
generous to all,
She is liked by both men and women
and loved by children, and she finds
the world good place to live in.
All these points it may be noticed
belong to girls inner life; they can
hardly be added from the outside.
Outward popularity depends some
what upon circumstances but true
and permanent popularity must al
ways deend on character "A great
number of girls forget this and are
only admired while they are young
and pretty by those who know little
about them The girl who is lovely in
character wins popularity year in and
year out.

HISTORY OF HOMEDALE
BRIDGE BILL At THIS
SESSION

The people of Homedale are greatly
wrought up over the fact that the
governor has vetoed the Homedale
bridge bill and we'll they may be
under the circumstances. Prior to
election a committee from the Home
dale section waited on Mr.. Alexan-
der and were assured that he under
stood the situation and would sign the
appropriation bill if it ever came up to
him. Acting upon this promise the
members of the committee went
home; supported Mr.. Alexander; and
against their better judgment pre-
vailed upon dozens of their neigh
bors to do the same.
We are sorry that Homedale did
not get the bridge. We are pleased
to be able to say that not by the
widest stretch of THE imagination
can Caldwell be blamed this year.
In discussing the veto the Home
dale Empire Press gives the follow
ing history of the Homedale bridge
bill:

GOVERNOR BREAKES
PROMISE TO SIGN

After it had passed both houses by
an overwhelming majority, House
bill No. ISIS, appropriating $4,000 to
build a bridge at Homedale, was
vetoed by Governor Alexander, We'd
nesday morning. This measure was
fathered by Representatives Trotter
and Magee, and passed easily through
both houses on the understanding that
it was one of the pledged policies Of
the governor. 1t is alleged that dur
ing the late campaign, the governor
promised without reservation, to sign
such bill.
Geo. F. Lee, yesterday, in an inter
view with the Press representative,
said: Il was a member of a COM
mittee that waited on Mr.. Alexander
last fall, for the purpose of enlisting
his interest in the Homedale bridge.
At that time Mr.. Alexander assured
us of his complete understanding and
entire sympathy with our bridge plan,
AS nearly as | can quote from mem
DRY, he said: Il understand all about
the matter and how you fellows got
the worst of it two years ago, but if
am elected, there is no outsider
SOAA6 W " SONNAlAOly anu IL yOu lCl-
lows ever get your bridge bill UP to
me, you've got your bridge, because
I'll sign it." He then delivered a
short address on economy and stated
that roads and bridges were the truest
form of economy. He understood
us all over his Caldwell clothing store
in his earnestness in declaring his
been pleased to approve.
Respectfully submitted,
IN. ALEXANDER,
Governor. ="
l.. J. Magee and F. f. Trotter, the
two representatives from this COM
unity, have conducted the hardest
fight for the Homedale bridge that
has been put up any legislature for
several years. When the bill passed,
Mr.. Magee was promised by the gov
ernor that if he would uphold the
gubenatorial hands in his program of
economy, that the bridge would come
through safely; later he backed down
on this and put it up to Magee that if
he would get twenty-one signatures
of Democrats to an endorsement of
his signature, he would sign it. Mr.
Magee regarded this as an unusual
and unjust condition, but went ahead
to secure the signatures. When he
had secured nearly enough, Represen-
totive Webb of Washington came to
him and stated that the governor was
unfriendly to his securing the requir-
ed names. Magee, accompanied by
witnesses, went to the governors of
flee, and almost before the party had
entered the door and before the re-
preventative had said the word, the
governor announcer that he was go
ing to send in the veto. He asked
about the names only as an apparent
afterthought, and seemed to have no
interest in the matter of his pledge
of the day before.

GOVERNMENT WILL TRY
TO REPUDIATE ITS
MAIL CONTRACT

Postmaster Horn is in receipt OF a
letter from the postothce department
notifying him to again call for bids
for carrying the Jordan Valley mail.
he postotnce department has evil
IDENTIFY learned that the present con-
tractor, Mr.. Dee, and the sub-con-
tractor, Mr.. Hobson, are at present
making little money out OF their
contract and OF course 1t is CRIME
to make money under the Wilson ad-
ministration. 1t is at least unnatural
and will bear investigation.
After advertising for several weeks
the government entered into a con-
tract with Mr.. Dee last July. Accord
ing to this agreement Mr.. Dee was to
carry the mail for four years and to
receive $850000 per year for all the
mail except the parcels post business
for which he received additional COM
pensation at the rate of cents per
pound. Mr.. Dee was the only bidder
who could give proper and sufficient
bond at the time.
Splendid Service.
Mr.. Dee sublet his contract to MI
Hobson who purchased motor truck
for this end of the line and good
teams for the other end. He has
given the people the best and most
satisfactory mail service they have
ever had. Everybody is well pleased
with the service except the postof-
flee department presided over by the
corruptionist, Burleson, who has in
troduced cheapness in little things
and extravaganza in others. AS a
sample of the Burleson economy we
will state that he has asked postmast-
ers, wherever possible, to take away
the allowance tor carfare Of city car
riers where their mail routes start sew
eral blocks from the postoffice.
Bidders Should be Leary.
Bidders on star routes should be
very careful. They may lose their
contracts at any time. Mr.. Hobson
has gone to several thousand dollars
expense in preparing to take care Of
his contract If he does not retain
the contract he will have to sell his
equipment at sacrifice of two or
three thousand dollars. The same
thing may happen to the next con-
tractor We are, convinced that the
government having inveigled Messrs.
Dee and Hobson into buying this
equipment feel that it can force them
down on the contract price of carry
ing the mail. The government as
sumes that these men would rather
cut the price than sacrifice the money
invested.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten about the desirability of living in
great cities, but as a matter of fact
there are no such things-simply be-
cause men will not live in them. Even
great city is but a union of commu-
unities like this. London, the largest
city in the world, grew out of a col
lection of villages that still retain
much of their old identities. Inves-
tigate Chicago or New York or any
other great city and you will find that
while men will huddle within a small
area for purposes of business, they
insist on getting out into the suburbs
or into independent residential sec
tons for the purpose of living.
Now, living is the most important
business that man has to do. He
picks out place for it with the same
care that he picks out a location for
factory, store or an office; and,
whenever it is possible for him to
pick out the place that he likes the
best, he picks out a small town, I'M
less he is one of those foolish per-
sons who think that joy is to be
found in a cabaret and pleasure in a
crowd. If the normal man cannot
take up his residence in small COM
munity. that is his dream of the flu
ture.
Certainly those of us whose lines
are cast in smaller towns therefore
ought to congratulate ourselves. We
have here one Of the best towns in
the world, at least in the making. We
don have to move to metropolis
to be happy, if our tastes and our
desires are normal. We can make
ourselves happy and the whole town
happy by trying to make this not a
big town SO much as good one.

UNCLE SAM OBJECTS TO THEM.
Captain Boyd and Van Papen OBJ

Captain Boyd and Van Papen Oh
noxious to This Government.
Washington.-Im ediate withdrawal
of Captain Karl Boy-Ed, naval attache
and Captain Franz Won Papen, mill
tary attache of the German embassy
has been requested by the state de
partment.
In making formal announcement Of
this action Dec. 3, Secretary Lansing
said that the attaches had rendered
themselves persona non grata to the
United States government by improp
er activities in connection with naval
and military matters.
The secretary acted with the full
approval of President Wilson, who is
understood to have determined that
the United States shall be rid of for
eign officials who make themselves
obnoxious by activity harmful to the
best interests of the nation.
The state department made its re
quest through Count Won Bernstorff
the German ambassador Announce
ment of the fact was withheld a few
days as matter of courtesy to Ger
many and to prevent the charge being
made that the jury trying the warshiI
supply conspirators of the Hamburg
American line in New York had in any
way been influenced in reaching YER
dict.
No reply has been received, but
none is necessary, and it was taken
for granted that the ambassador
would order the attaches away as soon
as he had exchanged communication
with Berlin.

CONGRESS OPENED
LAST TUESDAY
CHAMP CLARK REELECTED AS
FIRST EVENT IN HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATlV
THIS is THE GATH SESSION
Demonstration for Woman Suffrage
Early on Program-Bood of Bills
Already Presented-National
Defense, Increased Revenue.

Washington.-The opening Tuesday
Of the sixty-fourth confress at Wash
ington, d. c., was enlivened by the ar
rival of belated members aud hun
dreds of visitors attracted by the open
ing of congress, the convention of the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf
frage, and the meeting of the national
democratic committee
Elect Speaker First.
Both houses convened at noon. In
the lower branch the first order OF
business was the election Of speaker.
When Clerk Trimble called the session
to order Speaker Champ Clark was
nominated by the majority (229) for
reelection, and Representative Mann
of Illinois was proposed by the repub-
licans Q9O.
Speaker Clark, upon taking the
chair, recognized Representative F.
Mondell of Wyoming. This signalized
a demonstration for women suffrage

chosen to introduce the Susan b. An
thony constitutional amendment for
equal suffrage as the first resolution
of the new congress.
The Senate.
The senate was convened with Vice
President Marshall absent, owing to
the illness of Mrs. Marshall. 1t was
called to order by Secretary Baker,
and the first business was the inau-
guration of newly elected members,
followed Immediately by the election
of a president protempore. Senator
James P. Clark of Arkansas was elect
ed to succeed himself, having been
nominated by the democratic caucus
last week. Republican senators nom
mated Senator Gallinger, New Hamp-
shire, who will continue as minority
leader.
In both houses there was the usual
flood of new bills. Among them are
various measures on the subject of ma
tional defense and the attendant prob
lem for raising increased revenue.
There also was the government mer-
chant marine bill. In these will cen
ter chief interest of the session, and
they were discussed by the president
when he addressed the joint session.
