A few other names were presented
from time to time but the above were
the most prominently mentioned.
1t seems that the great trouble
arose over the fact that soAle OF the
city officials in discussing city appoint
ments, like Col. Roosevelt in discus
sing Barnes and Murphy. used "alge-
braic terms" The people of Caldwell
were not used to 'algebraic terms" in
municipal politics and consequently
left several conferences under misap-
prehensions Of the real intentions of
the newly elected officials.
The stand that Mr.. Boyes has taken
that in view of the fact that he is to be
held responsible, he will make the
appointments, himself seems to meet
with general approval. The Tribune
predicts that everything will move
smoothly from now on. The COM
munity has the utmost confidence in
every member of the new administra-
ton. All it asks that each factor
do his duty and perform his functions.

ing to have it prohibited or limited.
But merely trying to place little silly
obstacles in the way of granting what
the law permits is a sample of a mar
row-minded obstinacy often seen
among the unco guild.
These people admit that the general
public approves of divorce under given
circumstances and has written these
conditions into the state law. If they
were al all consistent they would ask
for repeal of the law permitting di-
yorce or for amendments changing
the grounds to those in which they
believe. But they either know they
cannot secure this or are unwilling to
specify just what they regard as just
they simply try to make the process
slow and difficult.
If divorce be an evil it should be
forbidden. If divorce on grounds of
incompatibility of temperament or de-
action should not be permitted. But

state. People can vote after six
months residence or begin any other

vorce alone be reserved for those who
have lived in Idaho six months longer
than the time required to make them
citizens for all other purposes?
Divorce in the eyes of the civil law
is purely a civil matter with which
religion has nothing to do. If it is a
civil necessity or privilege, none but
civil laws and civil ideas should gov
ern it. 50 far as ecclesiastical law is
concerned it is outside civil law en-
tirely, a voluntary code governed by
faith and conscience. If divorce con-
traveanes ecclesiastical law that law
alone must regulate it; the civil law
has nothing to do with the affair.
The church support given to the ex-
ira residence required before divorce
can be asked is not due to horror of
divorce colonies" or to opposition to
the idea of people coming to Idaho to
avoid severe laws elsewhere. 1t is
simply an obstinate attempt to enforce
ecclesiastical law by the power of the
civil law, to compel people of differ
ent religion or of no religion at all
to submit to the rules of ecclesiastical
law, a narrow-minded attempt to ere
ate trouble at the dictate of spite
where nothing more effective can be
done.

ture fans throughout the world He
was probably the greatest comedian
in the picture world. He was what
might be termed down right homely, .
but his homeliness proved to be his
fortune. for a person who could look
at Bunny's face and not even smile,
let alone giving a hearty laugh,
would be as devoid of the sense of
humor as an Indian cigar stand So
striking was his countenance that he
could not appear upon the street in
any city in the wrold, where motion
pictures have been shown, but what
he was quickly recognized by every

was-good, bad or indifferent-we
know not, but we believe that the

people laugh and has brought joy to
the hearts of probably million kids"

The last legislature declined to

persons to become citizens of Idaho
IN SIX months from the time they
took up their residence
his was the plan of those opposed
TO divorces. They alleged that many
came to the state solely to get divor-
CeS at snort notice and they asked a
change that would compel a continu-
Gus residence of year before an ac-
ton for divorce or annulment OF mar
rage could be begun. In other words
they wanted to use the law to advance
thelr personal opinions. They think
that divorces are absolutely wrong

anyone imagine a prettier sight than

shade trees. The company surely
conceived the right idea when at the
beginning they set trees along the
thoroughtares of the town which in
thees few years have grown to be
stately and now give the appearance
OF town much older than Jerome.
A number of the farmers followed
the example and one of the first i'm
provements on their holdings was to
plant few shade trees around their
home, and they are now reaping the
benefits of them. But the country
needs more trees, and there is moth
ing that adds more to the home-like
appearance OF a place than an ample
supply of shade trees.

The hrst cost of the trees is insig-

1t is a fault of an ecclesiasticism
that cannot control its own people to
try to make the civil law enforce its
ecclesiastical edicts. This has moth
ing to do with the question of whether
or not divorce is good for the country
or for its people. That is matter of
real concern to the state and the law
should take cognizance of it. But not
because any church or all the churches
either favor or oppose it. 1t is as
wrong for the law to enforce Christ
ianity as to enforce any other religion
from that of Mahomet to Shintoism.
as wrong as for it to enforce one of
the varieties of Christianity.
Civic right is what is good for the
community if it be far and just. 1t
may also be clerical right, but so far
as the civil law is concerned that is a
negligible consideration. An attempt
to substitute a clerical standard for a
civic standard in matters of law is an
impudent presumption which in the
end Injuries the ecclesiastical establish
ment

AT last Huerta has "saluted," and the
honor, integrity, dignity and national
prestige of the United States is once
more assured, says an exchange. The
president may also point with pride"
to how he humbled the naughty ex-
dictator of Mexico and secured from
him the conditions of his demand
without so much as the drawing Of a
sword, It is a striking illustration of
how all things come to those who
wait-the "watchfui waiting" kind
It must be admitted, however. that
Huerta chose his own good time and
way in which to salute" 1t may be
suggested. too, that it was merely a
matter of nice, condescending diplo-
macy due from visitor to our shores
that the ex-dictator '"saluted" the sta
tute of liberty as ne sailed past it into
New York harbor the other day. An
army of newspaper photographers and
reporters had swarmed aboard the
ship to see and talk with him. and it
was an opportunity not to be passed up
by the dusty exiled Mexican. There
may be some question also, whether
the statute held the flag which he was
supposed to Salute. but it was not
the mans fault if it was not there. HUI
erta saluted, and the incident is
closed.-Grangeville Globe.

REFoRMERS AND SKATES.

N al ma 11CldlO"J
The roller skate is coming back.
1t never really went out, as far as
the children are concerned. Now
however, young ladies have taken it
up-not in skating Kinks, by the way,
but in the open air, for exercise and
fun on the sidewalks and smooth
pavements of the city streets. On any
fine evening on the best and most ex-
elusive streets in the residence dis
trictS OF Chicago, groups of girls from
Is to p may be seen gliding along
over the smooth surface of the walks.
The fad has struck many of the
smaller places in different parts of the
country and already the village kill
joys are protesting and calling for
laws to prohibit skating on sidewalks.
1t was ever thus. No sooner does
youth find a new way of amusing it
self-no matter how innocent-than
some long-faced, vinegar -blooded re-
former is out with protest and a de-
mand that the young people be pre-
scented with the alternative of aban-
doning their fun or becoming GRIMM
ais by the infraction of a prohibitory
ordinance. There was at one time a
well-grounded prejudice against skat-
ing Kinks. These places, nowadays,
are usually so we'll conducted that
they are comparatively safe. But
there can be no just objection to the
young girls bringing the bloom of
health to their cheeks by such bene-
fetal exercise as roller skating on the
sidewalks of their own home town
and in company with the same girls
with whom they associate at other
times. Let the reformers purchase
roller skates and use them. 1t will
work off some of the bile and give
them brighter outlook on life.
