And it happens that the large army of peo-
pie who wait for the New Year before effecting
a reformation IN their lives are seldom success
ful in carrying out their Intentions They are
not possessed of the spirit of energy anC resoIu-
ton necessary to achievement 1t may be
argued that it is better to make good resolutions
even though they not carried out, than not
to make them all. This is open to question
however. Unless is absolutely determined
to do what one has decreed, it is perhaps on the
whole better not to make promises to oneself
Unfulflled resolves continually repeated tend to
weaken the character. and to reduce ones faith
In oneself, just~as resolutions put into practice
are conducive to strength and self-confidence.
Very little tends to overbalance the resolutions
OF the average person In fact, many people well
come any excuse to exonerate them from the
carrying out of their resolves. One Individual
determines, let say, to lose his temper
He comes down New Years morning with a
get smile on his face. Alasi it is short-Iived
The whole world seems in conspiracy to drag
him back to his former frame of mind The cot
fee is cold, the letters which look SO allurine
prove to be chiefly bills and begging epistIes he
falls over the doorstep he leaves the house
All these minor annoyances, which, if rightly
met, would have helped him to conquer his weak
ness. serve but to throw him back into his
original state, and before evening he is as bad
he has been.

Some people drag the folIies and immaturftfe1
of youth into old age There is wisdom in az.
just1ng oneself to time, to profit by past experi.
ences, and to acquire that sense of proportion
which refuses to magnify trifies into tragedies
and to worry the inevitable.

1t needs a strong man to keep
them. That is perhaps why New
Year resolutions are so often
futile. The strong do not wait for
high days and holy days to amend
their conduct or carry out their re-
solves. They obey Goethe's dictum:

Boldness has genius, power and

oIners whose names we were unable To
OBTAIN, rendered vocal and instru-
mental selection from the balcony of
the spacious dining room, and long af-
ter z O'Clock those who desired retired
TO their homes, but for most of the
number sleep was impossible so they
remained either at the hotel or with
the soldiers at the private car which
stood near the depot in readiness for
their departure at o'clock yesterday
morning.
Between and 7 o'clock Yesterday
morning continuous streams of people
could be seen vending their way to-
ward the depot where the last good
Dyes were to be spoken. Shortly be-
fore the time for the departure of the
train, at the direction of Captain Kad-
ing, First Sergeant Don Fisher called
the roll and the men were then at
liberty to fill in the remaining minutes
In converse with those nearest and
dearest to them and as the conductor
shouted "all aboard" three rousing
cheers were given for Company r, and
the boys were on their way, leaving
many vacant places, saddened homes
and sorrowing loved ones, and while
there seems to be no particular cause
for alarm at the present time. the ma
ture of the mission seems to rest heav-
lily on many a fond wife and mothers
heart, and with few exceptions those
taking their leave were the happiest
of the lot.
Before the assemblage at the I'M
perial Hotel broke up and while the
entire militia wasp resent, Frank Nc
Crane, manager Of the Alexander
Freidenrich department store, present
ed the company with ten $1,000 notes
to be used for the benefit of the boys
in securing some of the luxuries that
are not furnished by Uncle Sam, and
for which he received their profuse
thanks.
At IL o'clock noon yesterday, a
special train departed from the union
depot carrying Company f. of Lewis
ton and Company e. of this city, and
at Aver junction they were joined by
the Occur d Alene and Standpoint COM
panies.
All the troops will be encamped in
Boise Barracks by tomorrow evening
1t is not expected however that they
will be held at Boise more than a few
days. Adjutant General Grove is in
receipt of advices from the Idaho con
gressional delegation announcing that
from indications at the war depart
ment in Washington that the Idaho
troops will be on the Mexican border
within the next ten days.
A message was received today from
First Sergeant Don Fisher states that
''the official life of Company d de-
pends upon the patriotism of the cit
izens of Idaho county. We must have
twenty more men for Mexican service
and it is up to the people Of the coun-
ty. Their kindness viii never be for
gotten"

GEO. A DAY RESIGNS

That the promised shalSe-up in the
state land department is being brought
to close is evidenced by a telegram
received today by Evan Evans, state
chairman of the Republican central
committee, in which it was announced
that Geo. A. Day has resigned as COM
missioner of the state land department.
The message also stated that Heber
Q. Hale, who was dismissed short
time ago to take effect July 1st, had
been reinstated, and that Geo. Vim
negarholz of Moscow, had been APP
pointed to fill the vacancy caused by
the dismissal of l.. l.. Folsom.
The state chairman is also in re-
ceipt of reliable information to the
effect that certain sections of the
state are preparing to send delega-
tions to the forthcoming convention
that will bring influence to bear on
the land board with reference to Days
successor, and asking that he meet
those conditions. With reference to
the matter Mr.. Evans has the fol-
lowing to say:
I'm reply to this | want it dis
tinctly understood that / never have
nor do | at this time, have any candi-
date to fill Mr. Days place. That is
II matter absolutely up to the land
board and the responsibility rests with
them to select a man who will work
for the interests of the state as a
whole"

Makes Partial Explanation.

field artillery, 80 troops of cavalry and
one New York cavalry machine gun
troop, % engineer companies and 30
signal companies. Twenty-six ambu-
lance companies and 81 field hospitals
also have been ordered made ready for
entrainment
No indication was given at the state
department tonight of the course to be
pursued with regard to the reply to
General Carranza's note demanding
the withdrawal of the American troops
now I'm Mexico. 1t had been intend
ed to dispatch it to Mexico City to-
morrow by special messenger but
recent developments may change this
plan.
Baker Explains Call.
Secretary Baker issued the follow
ing statement:
"In view of the disturbed condi-
tions on the Mexican border and
in order to assure complete pro-
lection for all Americans, the
president has called out substan-
TALLY all the state militia and will
send them to the border. wherever
and as fully as General Funston
determines them to be needed for
the purpose stated.
IF all are not needed an effort
will be made to relieve those on
duty from time to time, so as to
distribute the duty.
'This call for militia Is wholly
unrelated to General Pershing's
expidition and contemplates no ad-
ditional entry into Mexico, except
as may be necessary to pursue
| bandits who attempt outrages on
| American soil
"The militia are being called
out so as to leave some troops in
the several states. They will be
mobilized at their home stations,
where necessary recruiting can be
| DONE"

The Grangeville Chautauqua open
ed Wednesday as advertised but the
weather conditions made it impossible
to hold the exercises in the big tent
and arrangements were made to occu-
py the l. O. o. f. hall, which has
