Expecting Another Drop.

Some time ago Mrs. Green called on
her friend, Mrs. White, and after
clutching, kissing and saying how
dreadfully delighted they were to see
each other, they turned to the inter
esting topic of the day.

after time, q haven't heard any
thing about Eva's divorce lately. l

wondering rejoinder of Mrs. Green

Patriotism Makes Her wear,ny.

The other day an old woman came
into bank in Prague and handed to
the clerk an antique savings book.
which showed a credit Of $48. She
asked whether this would serve for
the war loan, since she had no other
money. She explained that this book
was left by will to her mother, who,
dying. gave 1t to her.
Anyhow" she added timidly, II
would like 80 much to help little
bit"
The clerk took the book and disap.
peared. After a while he came back
and with him his superiors, including
even the president of the bank. And
then they broke it gently to her that
the book dated since 1885 and that
therefore the $4S amounted now, with
compound interest, to about $4,000.
Without her patriotism she would
never have known how rich she was.

One might think from these view
that Senator Borah is in favor OF the

reason is his objection to the nation

3orah and his men hung on like grim

Borah and his men hung on like grim
death.
AT the end of the run Borah jump
ed to the platform asd walked of
ithwout losing his balance. as Coror-
an had done that lawless morning.
Borah didn't tame the witness stand,
but the men who were with him, and
others, did, and Paul Corcoran was
convicted.
Then, seven years later. Steunen-
berry, who had as governor declared
martial law yhen the mill was blown
up, was himself blown up by dyna-
mite at his gate. Two minutes after
Harry Orchard heard the explosion
of the bomb he had set at Steunen-
terg's gate, and when he knew Steun-
enherg nad been blown to eternity, he
walked into the bar of a hotel and,
without tremor of muscle, helped
the bartender to Irvine a package.
But 20 minutes later, when an UNI
used fuse cap exploded in his own
pocket, the fear of exposure was upon
him, and he lost his nerve; and in
losing his nerve he lost his liberty.
He feared to be seen caching the
remnants of his bomb making, and
this evidence of his guilt was dis
covered in his room. He confessed,
and implicated Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, leaders of the Western
Federation of Miners.
For this crime these labor leaders
were indicted, and Borah assisted in
the prosecution.
II do not want innocent men con-
victed," said Borah to the jury in the
Haywood case. Heaven knows do
not thirst for innocent blood. only
want what you want-murder stop
ped in Idaho. / only want what you
want-human life made safe, assas-
sination put out of business. I only
want what you want-the gate whose
inward swing tells of the returning
husband and father, shielded and
by the courage and manhood
Of Idaho juries. Let us not be falt-
erers in this great test of courage and
heroism."
Those were exciting times in Idaho.
That prosecution left Borah's spirit
as undaunted as ever; but the threat
ening letters against him, addressed
to his wife, undermined her health.
Out Of it all no one of the labor
leaders bore malice for Borah, while
the rank and file of the unions &C
cepted his hostility to violence and
his friendship for decent unionism.
These incidents in Senator Borah' s
career are cited to show his mettle.
1t is the same mettle that in other
ways has come to be appreciated in
the senate.

BOrah Has Vision

There are great lawyers who never
make great statesmen. History il
proof of that. Napoleon despised tn,

forth relics, but he is a poor archao.
logist. He see the relic, but fails to
mirror the civilization that produced
it.
Borah has vision. He translates
the past into the present, the present
into the future. Some one his said
that the test of greatness is that a
man shall look upon his own age
and see it in the same light as that
in which posterity will see it. / think
Borah exemplifies that test.
When he was first elected to the
senate his law practice was worth
$4,000 a year. He turned it over to
some young lawyers and distributed
his law library among others. He
divorced himself from it absolutely.
He dedicated himself to his state and
his nation. Let us take a look for
a moment at some of the things
Borah has been doing in the senate.
There are left 25,000,000 acres of
Incorporated public lands in the
west, rich and fertile. 1t is better
land, in better climate, than across
the line in Canada. Yet it is fact
that few years ago 100000 Ameri-
can homeseekers were annually mi
grating to Canada. These citizens
were turning their faces toward an
other flag because of the short-sight-
ed policy of our own government.
The western pioneer drove the
golden spike of history that began at
Concor and Lexington He joined
The oceans. He discovered the golden
treasures of the Pacific coast. He
eveled hindering forests. He erected
cities and states. He laid the found
atoms of law He hewed out the last
corner stone of the nation.
Who does not remember the desc
ate picture Webster once drew in
he senate of the Rocky mountain
'egion? Instead of the region of per-
,etual snow pictured by Webster, we
speak now of the Golden West. Cal
fornia was bathed in summer haze
While Webster was uttering his dis
orted picture, and Colorado glistened
lnder a brilliant sun.
Since 1860 we have donated more
han 150,000,000 acres of our public
ands outright to railroads and other
corporations. To indi-
Tidual settlers we have given about
15,000,000 acres, but under the
1ost stringent regulations. We re-
uired the settler to take his family

AT SCH0FIELD TO
BE EXCITING ONE

Interest at Schofield is conferred
around the contest on the gridiron be-
tween the National Guard and LIST
Infantry teams on Sunday afternoon.
Since the defeat by the Honolulu team
Lieut.. Everitt's charges have been
working hard to get in shape to tram
pie upon the guard team. The recent
showing made against the Shafter
team has given the moleskin artists
encouragement, and they are predict
ing at the post that the National
Guard will return with the small end
of the score.
Manager Wickman announces that
he will send the full strength of the
squad to Schofield, as the local team
expects hard game, and with the ad.
dition of new blood at the post, the
local manager is not taking any
chances on a defeat Right now both
teams appear to be evenly matched
and playing on strange grfdiron the
locals should not have any advantage
over the soldiers. Both teams will
use practically the same lineup as in
their last games.
