THE OBSERVATORY
~

Some good books have come to my
table in the recent months; some re-
Gently published, and some not new.
! have always enjoyed the books of
DR.. S. Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia;
his is an interesting case of man
having won an honorable position in
medicine and surgery and then win
ming another in literature; the two
of his books which made the deepest
impression on my mind are Hugh
Wynne, the Free Quaker" a story Of
Philadelphia and vicinity during the
Revolutionary War, and more re
cent one: The Red City" a histor-
zeal novel of the Second Administra-
ton OF President Washington. The
scene of this second book is also Of
Philadelphia, and some Of the charac-
tiers are those with whom the reader
formed acquaintance in Hugh Wynne.
And the political situation in that
second administration of Washington
was remarkably like much that now
conironts President Wilson in neu-
trality matters. For at that time the
first French Republic was trying hard
TO force our government into war
with England, although Jefferson was
the Secretary of State. he did not
sympathlZc with his chief, and did
Sympathize with the ultra Republican
ideas of the French, who were then
oVerthrowing their king and kingdom
and would have us plunged into war
with the British empire. This novel
shows an intimate acquaintance with
the Rhh and Hn,,. -
and onward. He shows us how Jef-
terson and his admiring followers
seemed to really believe that Wash
lngton and his party would willingly
pattern our government after that Of
England, with an aristrocracy to he
ruling element; they did not 90 so
tar as to hint that Washington would
like to be king, nor did they believe
1t, but, although Jefferson was in his
cabinet, yet he did not refrain from
secretly opposing his governments
polcy and giving favor to the en-
ISsaries OF the French Republic who
were trying to drag us into the meshes
OF European politics.
While, of course, the circum stances
are now entirely different from what
they were in 1924, yet there is so
much similarity between the two
periods that it gives added zest to
the reader If he is interested in world
affairs, The central characters of the
Red City" are refugees from France
noblewoman and her son; she with
all the prejudice of her class from a
long line Of Norman ancestors; he
with a mind opened by events and
the new ideas abroad in the world !:
Frenchman of the La Fayette type;
ana an the story. of their reception in
Philadelphia, his adaptation 10 the
circumstances OF their changed condi-
tion. and his mothers apparent in
ability to adapt herself, is extremely
enjoyable, The love story is sweet
and attractive; a demure Quaker

state The average person would naturally think that

Mr.. Herwig assumes that the people of Idaho so
low morally that they will enforce the laws which they
have enacted. That they weak in character that
they need a guardian That they arc so embece that
they cannot elect officers who will do their duty His
opinion OF the people of this and of the duly elected
officers is poor indeed. He probably reasons that any
people which would keep him after year fat salary

THE PROPOSED CITY COUNCIL.

The list of councilmen which has been proposed by
Others and which unhesatngy endorse is composed
of six Of the leading Of Caldwell Two members Of
the old council retained in order that the admin
stration may have the benefit of their experience These
members have been active members Of the admins
traon and will prove of the greatest assistance One of
the members Mr.. J. H. Forbes had IS years ex-
perence in road and building before locating in
Caldwell When it is realized that this city spends
nualy upwards of $4,000 road and street work the
value of Mr.. Forbes member of the council becomes
apparent In addition he has had great experience
in many other lines of construction work The balance
of the ticket is composed of three young energetic and
enterprsing of the city. Messrs. Flynn, Lilly and
Farre expected to put little pep into city affairs In
addition they capable young They have the
desire to go ahead the to start and the detemin

Remuneration Of Self.


The only remedy is to come out
of ones self in order to find peace.
We must renounce ourselves, and
lose all self-interest, that we may
no longer have anything to lose,
to fear, or to contrive. Then we
shall enjoy the true peace reserv-
