The rich are comrades to the poor,
Out fishin';
All brothers to the common lure,
Out fishin'.
The urchin with the pin and string
Can chum with millionaire and king
Vain pride is a forgotten thing

DUBOIS TOURING WESTERN
STATES FOR DEMOCRATS

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Former Senator
Dubois of Idaho, who managed Speaker
Champ Clark's presidential pre-con-
vention campaign in 1912 left today
for tour of the far western states
under the auspices of the Democratic
national committee. Senator Dubois,
who has given special attention to the
western states, predicts Democratic
majorities in that section.
"The Rocky mountain states and Pa
| cific coast states are very friendly to
President Wilson, he said. The rea-
sons for this are:
| First, the women vote in most of
them and they fully approve of the
child labor law and commend him fol-
keeping us out of war. They accept
the fact gratefully that we are not al
war and do not care to listen to argu
ments which go to prove that the presi
dent has Numbered in his methods TO,
keeping us at peace, and which go tt
prove also that if Judge Hughes i.
elected we will soon be in war will
some nation.
"Second, the voters of this section
fully indorse the appropriation of $65,
100000 for good roads and the rura
credits bill and the avoidance of rail
road strike by the action of congress
Sin general they approve of the con
structive legislation by the Democrat,
congress under the Wilson administra
ton and of President Wilson. It is my
| opinion that they will vote their ap
proval and that the Democrats will
make great gains in this section. 1 in
clude in this all the states west of tn,

BLACKFOOT TAKES
FIRST SEASON GAME

In the first football game of the
season for the Pocatello High School,
. bad defeat was inflicted on the local
eleven by the Blackfoot High School
team in a contest played Saturday
afternoon in the Grove City. The
final score was 20 to 0, and although
the locals put up an excellent fight,
they were outweighed in almost every
department and the Blackfoot men
ripped through their lines for large
gains.
At the end of the first half neither
side had been able to score, but five
minutes after the whistle blew, Black
foot scored a touchdown, and from
then on had easy sailing. The heavy
Blackfoot line proved invincible and
the oaks smashed through the lighter
defense of the Pocatello team without
much trouble. Pierce, one of the best
half back for the locals, had to be
taken out during the contest on account
of injuries, and Grow was substituted
in his place. The local team opened
up in the last quarter with forward
passes and fake plays, but failed to
make any very large gains. The ex-
cellent kicking Of both teams was also
a feature Of the contest and the local
high school men showed they had a
good fund Of football knowledge. Due
to the fact that it was the first game
of the season, the men were not in the
best of condition, and a more favora-
BILE outcome is expected of the next
game played. Blackfoot is scheduled
to play the high school return game
on the home grounds and hackers of
the local eleven are confident the men
will come back and secure adequate re-
venge for their defeat of Saturday
Holmes, the PocatellO quarter back
played star game and used good judg
ment in the choice Of his plays. Cap
tain O'Malley also played an excellent
game and was especially strong in the
tackling department.
Although definite schedule OF
games for the season has as yet no
been arranged, it is expected the mex
game to be played will be with TIL
Burlev High School. The following
are the men who lined up yesterda,
for Pocatello:
O'Malley (captain), fullback; Me
Dougall. left half; Pierce and Crow
right half; Holmes quarter back
Wilmington, center; Jones and Black
left guards; Erickson, right guard
Hewlett, left tackle; Laying, RICH
tackle; Howard and McNichols, ends
Adamson and Lofts, substitutes.-PC

INTEREST SHOWN
BY THE ECCLES

Salt Lake, Sept. 29.-Engineers for
the Ogden, Logan & Idaho road are
making preliminary surveys to the
north from Preston, Idaho, with the pur-
pose in view of estimating the cost
of construction Of an extension of the
road to Pocatello and with branches
radiating to number Of points in
southeastern Idaho.
The chief engineer Of the line, to-
gether with a number of those inter-
ested in the road, has just returned
from an extended automobile trip
through the section Of Idaho which it
is proposed to tap. Representatives
of the Eccles interests refused to dis
cuss the proposed extension.
Just what the above portends is not
clear. The operations and state
ments regarding the Eccles in this
section of the country have been con-
strued in various lights, and while
great deal is brewing in electric and
traction line affairs, the part the Ec-
cles will play remains to be seen. The
general sentiment is that any move on
the part of the Ogden, Logan & Idaho
road at the present time is made for the
reason that the Pocatello Traction
Company has entered the field in acti, 1
manner, and has the backing of excep-
| tiOnally substantial interests.

STRAYED

He was gay old puncher
And labOred for forty per,
Spending it wisely for chaps and spurs
Until he ran across her.
All that he needed was Stetson hats,
Boots and handkerchief bright,
A slicker, perhaps, and sour dough
coat
Bought when the price was right.
But now he lives in a bungalow
And keeps up the furnace fire,
Buys pianos and full dress suits
For her fond friends to admire.
His debts are many, his comforts few,
Everything's new and strange,
He lies awake on his OstermoOr
And signs for the cattle range.

DEPENDENCY

When you feel discouraged and de
spondent do not give up, but take a
dose of Chamberlain S Tablets and you
are almost certain to feel all right with
in a day or two. Dependency is very
often due to indigestion and bilious
ness, for which these tablets are es
pecially valuable. Obtainable every
where.
