REMEMBERED HIS MOTHER

Frank Hutchinson, of Riverside,
who lost his life last week at the age
of %, was one of the thoughtful
young fellows who carried life in
surance. He took out policy over
a year ago for $500, payable to
his mother, and none of the family
knew anything about 1t for a good
while. He was 6 feet tall and
weighed 100 pounds, and according
to the commonly accepted remarks
made by people who have given little
study to life insuranc, was not one
who needed insurance, yet he was
thoughtful and had the policy written
in favor of his mother. A few days
after the funeral, B. F. Montgomery,
the agency director, and H. G. Will
son, of Blackfoot, local agent for the
Idaho State Life Insurance company
of Boise, went to the Hutchinson
home and handed Mrs. Hutchinson a
draft for $500, and that was the
first she knew that the matter had
been made in her name.
The above is an example Of how a
sad, sweet surprise may come to par
ents as the result of a son arranging
for financial protection for whoever
may be pendent upon him at death
which is sure to come at some time.
AS we have 80 often stated in this
paper, nobody knows when the call
will come, and the younger the per-
son takes insurance the lower rate
they receive and the earlier the pro-
lection goes into effect. There is just
on best time for any person to start
carrying life insurance and that is
the earliest date they can get it writ
ten in a reliable company. adv.

that he possessed the education and
training to make him efficient. Two
years ago we stated that we believed
he would fill the measure of peoples
expectations, and we watched to see
If he did. We believe the people as
a rule are not we'll informed as to
what he did, and some Of the things
he did that were disappointment to
us were so slow in developing, were
scattered over so many months Of
time. there was scarcely ever a time
when a review could be made to
sum up such matters and present
them to the public for their judg-
ment and conclusions. At this time,
when he presents himself as can
didate for reelection, and when our
readers are depending on us for infor-
nation and for a frank discussion
and frank admission of the facts and
the simple truth, we review his rec
ord for the present administration,
pointing out some of the effects of
his acts which we supposed at the
time were done in good faith think
ing that he was right. But later on
when we brought out facts to show
that he was wrong, he having gone
on record to the opposite effect, we
thought he would, on discovering his
mistakes, make public acknowledge
ment thot he had been laboring under
a mistaken understanding of matters
when he acted before, and would
wish his constituents to know that
he was honest in his efforts and re-
gretted having lent his influence to
something that was wrong. We
should have been glad at any time
to give him space in our paper to
make such announcement and ac-
acknowledgement, but it was never
made. We have observed too, that
he seems to have a newspaper Of his
own, or has such an interest in 1t
that he has the use of its columns
for anything he wants to publish,
and has had for many years. Since
he has stood as a silent partner in
the newspaper referred to, we may
refer to it as His Paper, and at this
time we call attention to the fact
that he has never made any acknow-
ledgment thru His Paper showing
that he entertained any regrets as to
lending his influence to things that

Altho the editor of this paper has
not had the honor of her acquaint-
ance for more than few weeks,
yet while visiting the farms Of the
Pingree country he has heard many
people speak of her in flattering
terms, expressing their confidence In
her and her ability as teacher.
She has, while there, shown her.

and integrity, and those who know
her best are sure of her administra-
tive and executive ability and COM
potency to fulfill the duties Of this
office in a manner satisfactory to the

He said he was not surprised that
this should be the case as he knew
how difficult 1t Is to get all the
facts and not be misinformed on any
items. he said he had not been
aware Of just what the report was
in Blackfoot as to why he lost the
speakership, but as he saw 1t in Boise
1t was a contest between the north
and the south, and the north won.
AS to the prejudice existing in
Blackfoot regarding improvements on
Shilling avenue, he was aware that
it existed and that 1t had had such
effect as we had mentioned, but that
SO far as 1t left the impression that
he had asked for improvements for
Shilling as against other streets, that
had not been the case. He stated
that he had paid for the hauling of
several hundred loads of dirt to
grade Shilling avenue adjacent to his
property, and that it might easily be
assumed by the citizens, that the city
was doing 1t. He said he had given
his checks for expense in connection
with the covering for the Miners
ditch, the removal of the Batway
ditch from the street, and the OPEN
ing of the road over Blackfoot river
in greater amounts than is generally
known and that he did it because it
would benefit his property. AS to the
particular JOB of hauling dirt from
Stout to Shilling that started the con-
tention during the last municipal
campaign, he said it was not done
at his request nor was the dirt de-
posted adjacent to his property, but
was hauled beyond where he had
filled and graded, and was used to
cover sandy stretch in front of the
Byers farm where heavy loads could
not pass. That 1t was done, he be-
lieved, by the city and county jointly.
Much of the dirt that had been dump
ed in front of his property had been
hauled from excavations just as If
the city were doing it, but that he
had paid the bills. He said he dis
liked to speak in his own behalf on
anything of this kind and IL we felt
like referring to it to remove any
mistaken views that people might
have of it, he would appreciate it.
That a man in public life is bound
to be misunderstood in some degrees
at best, and il he tried to inform
people correctly as to each act that
is misunderstood or misinterpreted
he would have but little time to do
anything else. ..
We still think, as we said last
week, that Mr.. Johnston is the best
qualified man in the county to repre-
sent us in the lower house, and that
he is big enough and broad enough
and true enough to bear any and all
just criticism and serve his county
better with each succeeding session
of the legislature.

"A CORRECTION

In our issue Of last week, two lines
were lost out Of an article about
grading Stout avenue and Shilling
avenue, so that the location OF the
place Of securing the dirt was made
to read wrong. In the original man
uscript 1t showed the dirt taken from
South Stout avenue across to South
Shilling. We mention this for the
information of those who did not dis
cover that there was q typographical
error in the paragraph.

May be Better Now

When Senator Thomas gets back
to the legislature and matters come
up that he knows nothing about, and
he feels disposed to make his word
stand against the facts or errors or
in harmony with them as the chances
of events may prove, the people who
send him there will be interested to
see whether he gets the facts first
and speaks afterwards, or speaks
first and Gets the facts afterwards.

When men practice deception 1t u.s.

later, and when DR.. Hyde suppressed
the facts that he had bills of the
Blackfoot merchants and the en-
ployees of the asylum piled up on his
desk and no money to pay them, he
made his report look better, but
when the claimants began to press
for the payment of their bills, and
the state affairs committee got to
sitting to see where and how they
could cut down the appropriations
and help Governor Alexander save
a million dollars for the state, they
trimmed the asylum appropriation on

We Are Not Advising

We could not advise people to vote
for a man with such record. We
think the people of this county will
re-elect him to the state senate be-
cause of the low order Of citizenship
that fails to draw lines carefully be-
tween genuine honesty and what they
call political honesty. So long as
the people excuse a man for exercis-
ing half-baked honesty in such mat
tiers, politicians will give them half
baked conduct. We predict that all
the standpat Republicans will vote
to re-elect Senator Thomas no matter
what he does. We predict that most
of the Republicans will vote to re-
elect him because they cannot COM
prehend so fine point as to see that
when a man is wrong and deliberate
ly stays wrong he is not acting for
the best interest of those he repre-
sents We predict that hundreds OF
citizens will vote to re-elect Senator
Thomas because he is smooth and
pleasant in his attitude toward them,
and because they have no immediate
friends or relatives in the asylum.
Such people are seldom concerned
until the wrong cuts into their own
families and then they have an
aroused judgment and an aroused
and raise an awful hula
baloo.
