BIRDS COME HOME
TO BOISE

The city of Boise is receiving some
of the harvest it has been sowing.
A city filled with good people, blind
ed to common sense and rotten to the
core without knowing it, they have
been getting into the limelight in
ways that were to be expected. Fight
ing among themselves, one half of
the town spying upon the other half,
raiding houses and hotels and finding
prominent people in compromising
situations, deputizing preachers and
other would-be reformers to serve
on the police force and go about spy
ing and raiding, and going so far as
to try to induce people to violate the
law so they could prosecute them for
it, trumping up charges where they
fould people were true blue, trying
to destroy purity where it seemed to
exist and to convict people who dis
appointed the raiders by being what
they should be, the whole rotten mess
is in an uproar and it ought to be.
Two and half years ago some of
this virtuous crowd in the capital
raised a large sum of money and
then added to it by taking from the
peoples funds without their consent,
another sum, to hire bunch of shy
sters to go to Blackfoot to prosecute
people for things that never happened
except in the imaginatin of such folks
as are now raising hades in Boise.
A few months ago some of the same
bunch had an inspiration and got out
over the state line in a manner that
might be called 'hot-footing" Three
years ago some matters that are now
shaking Boise nearly came to the sur
face, but heroic efforts at covering
up were resorted to and by starting
blaze in Blackfoot the veneer was
kept intact in Boise for a couple of
years and last winter it began to
crumble when the superintendent of
the Children's home took a sudden
hike to save his hide. 1t Is interest
ing to see things going to pieces of
their own accord as they are, but it
Is not without adding to the list of
wrongs.

REDUCING
THE TAXES
Chapter Sixty

AS announced one year ago the
board of county commissions, con-
sisting of James Christensen, E. M.
Kennedy and T. P. Fackrell, when
fixing the amount of the levy neces-
sary to meet the 1914 expenses found
that the levy would have to be 1920
1Sz.-s on each 800; but it was cam
paign year and the tax question was
at issue and The Idaho> Republican
was conducting a campaign to reduce
the 1915 taxes. The board after con-
sideration of what was before them,
fixed the levy at $1.10 on each 500,
with the information before them
that it would lack $12, 900 of paying
the expenses incurred by them for
the year. This left 1914 indebted
ness to be carried over to be paid
out of the 1915 levy, with interest
added. The present board had to
levy $1.10 for current expenses and
Yo'Lo w pay up what nave
been paid in 1914. Had the board
of last year met the problem as it
existed and levied $1.20 and paid
their own bills of that year the pres
ent board would have levied only
$1.10.
We review the matter at this time
to remind people that We meant ex-
actly what we said and we knew
what we were talking about when we
said the board was playing politics
SO glaringly simple statement of
the facts was sufficient. The public
stood by our theory at the polls and
we believe they have no regrets Mr..
Christensen was reelected because
he was the least of the three evils
and it was desirable to this paper
and to people in general to retain
one member of the old board. We
are frank to say that at the next
election there will be one member of
the present board retired with chill
ly Thank you; and his name will
be James Christensen.

CHAPTER XIII.
A Woman Scorned.

There is an old saying in Rajput
that woman and the four winds were
born at the same time, of the same
mother: blew hot, blew cold, balmily
or tempestuously, from all points al
once. Perhaps.
In the Zenana of the royal palace
there was woman, TALL 1.-the, with
skin of ivory and roses and eyes as
brown as the husk of water chestnut
On her bare ankles were gem-in.
crusted anklets, on her arms bracelets
of hammered gold, round her neck
rope of pearls and emeralds and ru
bies and sapphires And still she was
not happy.
From time to time her fingers
strained at the roots of her glossy
black hair and the whites of her great
| eyes glistened. She bit her lips to
keep back the sobs crowding in het
throat She pressed her hands to-
gether so tightly that the little knuck'
les cracked.
"Ai, ali" she walled softly.
She paced the confines of her cham
Der with slow step, with fast step; or
leaned against the wall, her face hid.
den in her arms; or pressed her hot
cheeks against the cool marble of the
lattice.
Human nature is made up of con.
trares. Why, when we have had the
courage coolly to plan murder, or to
aid or suggest it. why must we be
troubled with remorse? More than
this, why must we battle against silly
impulse to tell the first we meet what
we have done? Remorse: what is it!
Now, this woman of the zenana be.
lieved not in the God of your fathers
and mine She was pagan; her
heaven and hell were ruled by thou
! sand gods, and her temples were filled
with their images. Yet this thing re-
: morse, was stabbing her with its hot
needles, till no torture devised by man
could equal 1t.
She was the poor, foolish woman
who loved Durga Ram; loved him as
these wild Asiatic women love, from
murder to the poisoned cup. Loved
him, and knew that he loved her not
but used her for his own selfish ends
There you have it. Had he loved her
remorse never would have lifted It's
head or raised its voice. And again

Tins fate took Alfalfa by the hair
again and shook her out of the pas
toral quiet. What would happen now?
Thisi
On the morning after the tragic
death of the old king, those who went
early to worship, to propitiate the gods
to deal kindly with them during the
day, were astounded to find the doors
and gates of all the temples closed!
Nor was any priest visible in his usual
haunts. The people were stunned For

ror before they struck.
Then came the distribution of PAM
phlets wherein it was decreed that
the populace, the soldiery, all Alfalfa,
in fact, must bow to the will of the
gods or go hereforth accursed The
gods demanded the reinstatement az
regent Durga Ram; the deposing of
Ramabai. the infidel; the fealty Of
the troops to Durga Ram; "a hours
were given the people to make their
choice.
Before the doors of all the temples
the people gathered. wailing and pour.
