Living in New County.

Lloyd Adams, editor of the Rex
burg Standard is firm believer in
county division where the units are too
large and different parts inaccessi-
Bile to each other He cites the new
county of Madison as an example and
is proud of the part he took in the
organization of the new county two
years ago. He says the new county
has no bonded debt, having taken care
of the debt assumed upon its organ
ization by deficiency warrants, which
now amount to but $4,000. This
amount will be taken care of in the
next year or two. Madison county's
tax levy for state and county pur-
poses was but 95 cents on the hun
dred dollars, which is among the low
est in the state.

Haines to make a report on condi-
tions in the state treasury was given
to the legislature Tuesday. 1t con-
tains accusations against Attorney
General Peterson and State Auditor
Huston.
Replying to the inuendo, Attorney
General Peterson says in brief:
"An inference is sought to be made
in the report of Axel Ramstedt that
| participated in the looting of the
state treasurer to the extent of $500.
While this is not the language of the
report, the inference is entirely plain.
Probably the only reason why its
authors did not make the bold state
ment was because they were too cow
ardly to do so and were afraid to
meet the legal consequences of their
act.
"Not only is the report a damna-
bic hell-brewed lie, but the authors
thereof are liars.
"No money was ever gotten by me
out of the public treasury-not
cent; and every friend l have in
the state knows it. These human
vultures waiting for their lethal
meal, would be ridiculous if their
purpose was not so dfaDoiical."

A thoroughbred

London. = Captain Arthur N.
Loxley, of the battleship Formula
BILE, stood on the bridge smoking a
cigarette as his vessel went down in
the English channel last Friday
morning, after the ship either had
struck mine or been torpedoed, ac-
cording to survivors of the disaster.
The captains last words, they say,
were compliment to the officer who
was experimenting the launching of
the boats on the seamanly manner in
which the work was being done.
Captain Loxley gave his orders as
calmly as if his ship had been in
harbor with her anchors down." said
one rescued sailor. "The only sign he
gave that anything was amiss was a
brief speech in which he exhorted his
crew: Steady men, everything is all
right! Keep cool and be British There
are tons of life in the old ship yet"

A hyphenated American is a
monstrosity. An English-Ameri-
can is neither a good Englishman
nor a good American. A German
American is a hybrid that con-
tains none of the good Of either
parent form.
A good Englishman or a good
German will not call himself at
the same time, an American If
he is a good American he will
not couple the name Of another
