REMEMBER THE DATE.

Monday, January 9th, is the date of
the meeting of the stockholders of the
Boise Water Users association. We
again urge every settler to attend that
meeting. 1t is important that each
settler be there with his mind fully
made up.
The important matter that will come
before the meeting is the election of
new board of directors. Every newly
elected director should be fully COM
mitted to the proposition of making
the fight for the rights of the settlers.
This fight has been started by the
present board under the direction of
President Kelm. The Tribune has al
ready stated how the present board
stands. Those members of the board
who are right should be reelected.
Those who are not right should be
defeated. The settlement of the cost
of water is too important to entrust
to luke-warm, indifferent or antagon-
istic members.
The Tribune intends reviewing the
controversy with the Reclamation
Service; the aims and purposes of the
settlers; and the means at hand for
attaining these ends; in its next issue.
At this time we content ourselves with
reminding the settlers of the date and
Importance of the meeting of stock
holders.

Treasurer Resigns.

Mrs. Grace Andrews has resigned as
treasurer OF the local Associated
Charities, her successor appointed
being Mrs. Matte Zeh. Membership
in the organization, which has been
one of the most active and beneficial
in the community, is one dollar. and
all who are members or who would
like to be associated with this good
work are requested to send the dollar
which constitutes voting membership
direct to Mrs. Zeh in this city.
During the two years she has served
as treasurer, Mrs. Andrews has bal
anced her books and her bank account
to the cent, and has served the Asso-
station most efficiently and most
cheerfully, but illness in the family
made necessary her retirement from
office.

HELP FOR SOME; DESPAIR FOR
OTHERS.

Even handed justice is rare bird in
this world that goes at cross purposes
when it goes at all. All we can do is
to make the best OF what fortune gives
us. At times our only luck is the JOY
that circumstances have given to
others.
There is great rejoicing in this Sec
ton over the fact that the Reclamation
Service is willing to reclaim portion
of the Black Canyon tract OF land.
Those who wisely. as it happened. Sc
iccted land now easily irrigated, have
fortune within their grasp. Those who
accidentally got mile beyond are dis
appointed. There is help for some !;
despair for others. II is ever thus.
The section as whole must rejoice

MERRY JESTS OF THE AN.
GENTS.

A commentator says that the ANCIENT
Greeks were the maddest, merriest
people who ever lived upon the earth,
and withal the keenest, wittiest and
most inventive people. Many of their
satiric quips have become the solemn
proverbs of these. later ages. Their
signs and symbols, conceived in irony
and born in satire, have become for US
sacred emblems and ensigns. We had
neither the wit nor invention to solve
and consequently borrowed outright
their symbols, and as usual, with little
sense of the fitness to which we were
adapting them.
1t is interesting to trace the course
of words, phrases and symbols back
to the place and circumstance of their
origin. We have neither time nor in
clination to do that, even with the
symbol in mind. We will leave that
pleasant little excursion to the reader
in the privacy of his closet. Paren-
thetically here we wish to state that
that which we are about to cite has no
significance locally. We approve OF
everything that has been done, both
great and small, both good and bad.
These citations are only general in
their purpose.
The goddess of justice was usually
personified by the ancients holding
sword or scales, often both. Her
eyes were sometimes blndfolded and
sometimes closed, in either event in
token of strict impartiality, so we as
sumed The conceit, in our interpre-
tation of it, was very pretty and we
borrowed it without credit. We
thought it nice that in the court of
justice, the goddess herself, should
know neither rich nor poor, weak nor
powerful, humble nor arrogant, but
should consider the suit in hand solely
upon its merits. In our happiness over
the discovery of symbol of ideal
justice we borrowed the pagan god
dess with her sword and scales and
blindfolded eyes. In many courts of
litigation throughout the world will be
found that craven image in some form
or other. a perpetual acknowledgement
of our lack of vita satire on our
good sense.
The ancients were practical people.
They looked the world squarely in the
face and depicted her as they found
her. They did not shield nor flatter
but held the mirror up to the human
race and took the reflection true to
life.
The goddess of justice, so we find
upon careful and paintaking investiga-
ton, was not blindfolded in order that
she might not see the litigants before
her; but that she might not see that
the scales had been tempered with, or
that weight had been added unbe-
known to her and inimical to impartial
justice.
AS forewarned this citation of the
facts has no local significance. We
are not wringing in play on "the
same treatment for broadcloth as for
overalls," as we might be accused of.
We simply got to musing on affairs
with the discovery given in the fore
going paragraphs. We trust that the
reader will not attempt to apply the
discovery to specific instances. Dis
coveries like this, like discoveries in
medicine or science, can only be ap-
piled by him who is learned in the
theory and skilled in the practice of
the art to which the discovery be-

It's really surprising how much
Potash and Perlmutter," which
opened a weeks return engagement
at the Hartman Monday night, says
the Columbus Times, has to offer
even upon a second or third hearing.
And, if you're theatregoer, not to
know these gentlemen at all is to be
lust downright snobbish about your
stage acquaintances.
OF course, no one could claim that
Potash and Perlmutter' is much Of
a play, as such It's just little story,
rather sentimental, cut to fit the low
Iable characters of the title. The Sc
cret of it's popularity and success lies
in its sympathetic portrayals of uni
versally recognizable Hebrew types
and in its comedy, which, altho quite
obvious, is racy and native to these
types.
The incidental story of the Russian
refugee whose departure upon the
advice of Potash, after the firm had
'staked it's fortune to go on his bond,
nearly precipitated crash in the
|n8rtnership, holds the play together
neatly enough and never interferes

An impetus to the cause Of nation

opinion of Senator Cummins the ju-

tion of the subcommittee and report
the resolution. This means it will
be put up to the senate to act.

things, the league is gathering data
from Des Moines and elsewhere in

Seized Home Made Wine.

Tuesday Sheriff Bergemeyer was
at Gutenberg and seized nine bar
rels and two casks of homemade
wine from John Dyincker and serv-
ed notice of injunction proceedings
against him. The wine was brought
to Elkader yesterday and stored to
await the action of the court. 1t will
probably be confiscated and destroy
ed. The case is a peculiar one. From
what we have been able to learn
Mr.. Drinker and wife are both over
eighty years old. They own small
property close to Gutenberg and
for the past thirty years or more
have raised grapes, made wine and
sold it in small way. Before the
repeal of the mulct law their busi-
ness was so small that 1t was never
brought to the attention of the auth
critics although the U. s. revenue Of
ficer got after them some years ago
and since then they have paid gov
ernment license. Since January 1st
they have had thriving business
which led to disaster.
