WALLIS WORK RECOGNIZED

When the former pure food COM
missioner entered his plea of guilty
to the one indictment, County Attor-
ney Owens asked that leniency be
shown, and in imposing the fine
Judge Davis commended Wallis on
the high character of his services to
the state as pure food commissioner,
and the work he had done to bring
Idaho into prominence along better
sanitary and health lines. 1t was
because of diligence towards bring
ing prominence to the state, the
court thought, that Wallis had prob
ably not paid the attention he should
have to details. Wallis explained in
his own behalf that insofar as certi-
fication to the salary roll was con-
cerned, his deputies were constantly
in the field, and when completing
their trips they came home to rest
so he paid little attention to the
salary if they failed to work a few
days, supposing they were entitled to
the rest. He also explained that he
did much of the states work at his
residence, and it was because of this
fact he had temporarily removed
state property there. On paying his
fine and the dismissal of the indict-

VERY MUCH A MAN

Some people dislike the rich man
and some don't like the poor, but
"a mans a man for a. that" and
this was brought out in the behavior
of A. G.. Vanderbilt at the sinking
of the Lusitania last Friday when he
took off his life belt and tied it
about a woman in the last moments
of his life.
He could not swim, the vessel was
nearly all under water and the last
boats had been launched. His only
hope was in his life belt, and seeing
woman without one, he gave it
to her. N
No selfish motive could attach to
his act. He probably never saw her
before and certainly there was slight
chance for them to ever meet again,
for two thousand people were facing
death amid unusual horrors by
drowning and mutilation. He had
staid on deck and worked to the
last, and as the vessel was in its
final plunge he gave his last support
to one who was not even friend

STILL DOING THINGS

Mrs. w. H. Harmon writes from
Camas to say that she observes from
reading The Idaho Republican, that
burglaries are still committed in
Blackfoot and peoples rigs are rob-
bed of their contents while the Har-
mon boys are on the homestead out
from Camas.
She says she can't understand it,
now that it has become a settled GUS
tom to have all such conduct charged
up to the Harmons, and it is shame
to have to hunt new subjects for sus-
picion. After all that has been. re
ported" she finds it hard to believe
that anything could go wrong until
they get back to town.

LOSING THE BIG SHIPS

The world is losing its big ships.
Three years ago the Titanic. the
largest and finest of them all, sank
although it was acknowledged to be
unsuitable.
His sister ships have had unfor-
tunate careers since that time. The
Acquitania was nearly ruined in a
collision last August, and It has taken
over half year to get it ready for
service.
The Oceanic was wrecked and
made total loss off the coast OF
Scotland last September.
The Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse.
a great German vessel, was destroyed
by the British ship High Filler, Aug
ust q.
The Empress of Ireland was sunk
in a collision in the st. Lawrence
river year and half ago.
The Lusitania was torpedoed last
Friday and went down in Is or 20
minutes, a total loss.
The Mauritania, the fourth one OF
the great British passenger vessels
is still afloat, but subject to the at
tack of the enemy. Reports have 1t
that the Leviathans plying between
our western shores and the Orient
are not paying, and are seeking re-
lease from service. Should they be
sold to belligerents and become en-
gagged in the war they will be the
especial targets of the submarines Sc
long as they are afioat.
The big vessels of the world are
disappearing, and the world is going
backward in more ways than one

EVENING COURIER LEAVES

The machinery of The Evening
Courier plant which was moved to
town by Cook, Stevens and others
a couple of years ago and used for
publishing a daily paper for some
thing over a year, was moved out OF
town the last of the week. The limo
type was purchased by G. w. Bran
don, of Kemerer, Wyoming, and was
removed to that place. The presses
and other fixtures were taken to Po-
catello and placed in storage. One
key of whisky TASKS, lot of empty
beer bottles, a pile of old cuts and
some rubbish were left behind, to-
gether with various and sundry debts
besides many jagged holes in the
pockets of politicians and diplomats
(?), who were induced to put up
their good money to start it or to
keep it operating or both.
The Evening Courier published
some standing announcement about
itself that are interesting in the re-
Prospect, for instance:
published every evening except
Sunday, at Blackfoot, Bingham
county, Idaho. Where gold dollars
grow"
When it went into the hands OF
a receiver, some wag courtly remark
ed that they must have had crop
failure.
Another section of their editorial
head read, "a newspaper that was
born full grown; representing the
best sentiment and the best people
loft southeastern Idaho" When it
was overtaken by certain sea of
troubles and was not cutting much
of swath, some other wag remarked
that perhaps it would have grown
better If it hadn't been born quite
so big.
Still another section of their edi-
torial head ran thus: Standing for
honesty in the administration of pub
lie affairs and for high morality"
To those who knew from day to
day of the checkered events Of the
management from top to bottom,
these sections made interesting read
ing and still furnish food for
thought.
Blackfoot still has certain desires
and needs in the newspaper line, but
the steps taken in 1913 to accomplish
the desired ends worked backwards
so rapidly it will take sincere and
thoughtful effort on the part of those
interested to repair the damage that
has been done. 1t takes something
besides money and pluck and empty
declarations to conduct newspaper
and have it stand the test of time.

TELLS OF HARRORS

major in the United States army dur
Ding the Spanish American war, and
was on the Lusitania bound for Bel
GUM on Red Cross work, was saved
with his wife, who has broken arm,
and two of their children. Two other
children and two nurses employed by
DR.. Pearl are missing.
In the rush to the deck one of
the nurses and two of the children
were separated from the remainder
of the family. DR.. Pearl left his wife
in the care of Herbert Stone and
Linden Bates, jr., of New York, while
he searched the ship for the missing
members of his family.
Mrs. Pearl says that she saw Mr..
Stone and Mr.. Bates go down when
a wave washed over the port side
of the ship.

he ordered the Maxwell Motor Co.
and the Flanders Motor Car Co. to
return 80 acres OF land In Greenfield
township to Robert Oakman, II they
do not commence building a plant
on the property within the next 30
days.
Oakman sold the land FIVE years
ago, for the cost figure. $4,000. IL
was worth more than that, he alleg-
ed, but he made the deal with the
understanding that the defendants
would build a factory on the 80
acres, thus increasing the value OF
surrounding subdivisions. owned by
Oakman. The land Is how worth
$500 900.
Judge Mandel held that the fail
ure to build the factory revoked the
defendants right TO the title OF the
property. The two automobile COM
panies were made defendants as sue
cessors to the Metzger Motor Car
Co. TO whom Oakman originally sold
the land.

promises brilliant features among
which the pageant Is easily the most
prominent. This piece OF panto-
mime Is a departure from the usual
program rs presented on children's
days In Detroit and elsewhere.
The story OF the action In the pan.
tomime Is as follows:
Ceres, goddess OF agriculture. Is
no longer honored with harvest as
she was in olden times. On the an
niversary OF one OF her greatest fes-
tivities she visits her altar, which
used TO be piled high with fresh-cut
sheares Of corn and wheat. and be-
fore which merry groups of har-
vesters used to hold their dances
and games In the moonlight. But
now she finds the altar deserted

cover her mourning To tighten her
sorrow. they dance before her, and
then run to get the playground chill
dren 10 revive the festival In her
honor.
The playground children gladly
consent to celebrate the festival OF
Ceres. IL they may summon also
Mercury. god of commerce. and Vul-
can. god OF manufacturing and all
workers in iron, upon whom the life
they see about them in the city is
more directly dependent.
Then cone the nymphs, at the call
OF the fairies. bringing with them
Flora, goddess of flowers, and
Pomona, goddess OF fruits. whose
work Is too often forgotten by city
Children. They dance before the al
tar.

feet of Ceres. and ,rui. and flowers
are brought for Flora and Pomona.

gins.
