WreathS That

Memorial Day Poem

sociation.
"A S the May sun, warm and ten
"A der,
Shines upon the soldiers tomb,
Where the language of our sorrow
Is translated into bloom,
There, beside the floral tokens,
That may wither in day,
Nestle garlands unbeholden,
But more durable than they,
Woven from a nations blessings,
And these will not pass away.
T0R the wreaths we fashion
i vanish
As the breath upon the glass,
As the forms beloved crumble
Meath their grave roofs brave
with grass.
But the deeds they did for freedom
And the things they died to save
Shall remain to glorify us
While the starry flag shall wave
And be told our children's children
Till the world is in its grave.
TT is meet that in this season
i Of returning sun and showers
We should come to speak their
praises
In the elo1uence of flowers.
But their gift was Of the spirit,
And the years that lie between
Render richer, nobler, holier
The heritage unseen
That they left US. This it is that
keeps
Their graves forever green.
T0R they gave US Of their cour.
i age,
Of their hope and of their faith,
Of their visions and their hearts
best love-
Yea, even unto death.
And this truth has been since time
began
And evermore will be-
That the man most loved of men is he
Who dies to make men free.
These were men of our own flesh and
blood,
Who died for you and me.
THEY have wreaths that wither
i not nor fade,
And until war shall cease,
Wheresoever else the world may
bleed,
They gave to us their peace.
And so long as man has gratitude
And while Love has a tongue
Shall the valiant fight they fought
for truth
Forevermore be sung,
With their glory ever fresh and fair,
Their fame forever young.

Progressive Leaders Return.

1t is noticeable that the Progressive
leaders of four years ago in this state
have all returned to the Republican
party. Guy Martin, candidate for
governor in 1912, has announced his
determination to support Hughes and
Fairbanks, and it is expected will
make a campaign of the whole state.
The chairman of the Progressive par
ty, J. H. Gibson, is again Republi-
can. Clancy st. Clair of Idaho Falls,
who in 1912 gave up a commanding
position in the Republican party in
the southeastern part of the state, is
once more a Republican leader. In
Ada and Canyon counties, where the
progressive idea in politics bit into
mems convictions deeper than in other
parts of the state, there are appar-
emily no Progressives left. All this
seems mighty good to know by the
Republicans. Of the $4,000 and more
votes cast for Roosevelt in 1912, it
is generally admitted that fully TO-
900 will this year vote for Hughes,
and that the Democratic nominees
will receive but small number.

He's "Eat-,Em-Aliver Hughes.

Samuel G. Blythe in the Saturday
Evening Post.
"Why, say" said new Republican
national committeeman to me, along
about July first, 81 never got man
so wrong in my life. l had an idea
that this chap Hughes was a thin
and studious, narrow shouldered and
anemic, 140-pound sort of a cuss, with
an air of great reserve and much
learning, and | want to tell you |
got the most delighted shock of my
life when | went in to see him yes
terday. "Say, that man isn't pale
and studious or anemic and reserved,
SOS you'd notice it. l went in there
and l ran across this big, broad Shout
dered, two-fisted candidate of ours,
weighing $50 and all of it muscle, and
with a close cropped beard and big,
strong teeth-ever see those teeth p
why he can give Roosevelt two molars
and bicuspid and beat him to it
strong enough to bite Democrat in
two-and he jumped right at me and
said How about it?' and began to
talk. Reserved That makes me
taught He looks you right straight
in the eye and he just busts right
into things. He's about as reserved as
a circus parade. In three minutes
he had me standing on my toes and
hollering for the G. o. P; and | amt
what you might call demonstrative
citizen, either. Now, you. mark my
words, these Democrats will know
they have been in a fight before they
get through with that man Hughes. |
He's Just busting with red blood, and
he's like a boy out of school, he's so
burned tickled to get off that bench |
and out among folks again. He whirls
hose big fists through the air, and
cts a veil out of him you can hear
1alf a mile: and does he go to it
loes he? Why, say, you watch him
perform in this campaign. He'll have
en- marching round in circles and yell
ng Hughes - Hughes = Charles E.

racks, see if he doesn't.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER FROM
BOISE
Resume of Events Around the
State House From Our
Special Correspondent.

Boise, August 7-One thing has
been decided at any rate, and that is
the names of the candidates from "a
mong whom the people of the state
will select the Republican and Demo-
cratic nominees for state offices. 1t is
almost absolutely certain that from
the candidates successful in the pri-
mary election to be held on Septem-
Der 5 will be chosen the officers of
the state for the ensuing two years.
The Prohibitionists and the Socialists
are still to name their candidates,
although no doubt exists that they
will do so. These representatives of
party faith will be chosen by mass
convention or central committees.
There is now no indication of the
Progressives attempting to keep up
their party organization and nominal
ing a ticket of state nominees. In
only one county in the state so far
are there indications that the Pro-
gressives will go before the people
with full list of county nominees. This
is in Nez Perez county, where what
is known as the ultra-dry faction of
the Republican faction, are holding
out for party autonomy. At the 1914
election this faction succeeded in
electing most of its nominees, and it
is understood they are now out to re-
peat. However, it is reported here
that the chances of consolidation |
with the Republicans is extremely
good, and that the proposal has been
made to make combination with the
in that county.

The Field of Honor

/ s"You can't save me-? asked the
wounded officer.
"Why not?" replied the surgeon
81 will do my best"
"Will you do me favor, doctor
if the operation should not be sue
cessful? | have written some letters
beforehand, they are in my servants
possession. | want you to mail one
every four days. In the event that
should die, continue to send the
letters, say nothing to indicate that
am dead. My wife expects to be-
come a mother within three weeks
time. You will understand"
The doctor nodded his head.
The operation was performed, the
captain removed and put into hos
pital bed.
Two more hours at the operating
table and the surgeons strength was
exhausted. He was relieved and went
to sleep for few hours. Awakening
he thought of the captain and the let
tiers and went to see how the patient
was doing. He found him still alive.
The letters were handed to the sur
geon by the captains servant and he
mailed them at intervals as he had
promised, and received the replies
from the captains wife, for many
days after the wounded captain had
sunk into the peaceful slumbers of
death.
In the last letter the countess wrote
that the little boy was now ten days
old The surgeon resealed and re-
turned the letter with the superscrip-
ton.
"Died on the field Of honor"

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Emmett Experiences.

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache
headache, dizziness or urinary dis.
orders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use
reliable kidney tonic. There's no
other kidney medicine so well recon-
mended as Doan's Kidney Pills. En-
NETT people rely on them. Here's
one of the many statements from En-
NETT people.
Mrs. r. A. Mcfarland, First St,
Emmett, says: Zone of the family
was crippled up with backache and
complained of lameness and soreness
across the loins. Doan's Kidney
Pills were used and they removed the
backache and proved of benefit in
every way. l took Doan's Kidney
Pills about a year ago for backache
and trouble from the kidney secre-
lions and | was greatly benefited"
(Statement given June 18th, 1910.
OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Mcfarland added: Nothing has
changed my high opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills. My former endorse
ment holds good"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't SIM
ply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Mcfarland has twice publicly
recommended. Foster-Milburn Co.,

for all the other offices. In only two
instances are their opposing candida
cies on that ticket. These are for
secretary of state and lieutenant
governor In both these instances
there is feeling prevalent that one
candidate is greatly desired by him
self, while the other has been drafted
by the leaders to accept defeat in the
primaries or at the general election
as a token of party loyalty. The
absence of a candidate for state su-
perintendent was accepted by the par
ty leaders only after the most siren
uous efforts to avoid this on the part
of Democratic leaders.

Filings for Nominations.

Filings for nominations for state
offices were closed on Saturday after
noon. Somewhat to the surprise of
everybody the democrats did not NOM
mate anybody for superintendent of
public instruction. So it may be said
that the successful nominee on the
Republican ticket will have something
of a walkover in the general election.
The Democrats have what might be
termed selected list of candidates

j" HE surgeon of the battalion
broad shouldered, gray
haired man, stood at the
operating table, apparently
tired and ready to drop, waiting fol
the next patient. His assistant no
ticed the chiefs condition and called
out to a hospital attendant to bring
comfortable armchair, into which
the weary surgeon sank.
"How many have we operated on
this morning." the chief asked of
his assistant.
"Forty-two, and am afraid at
least a dozen of them will die, and
another dozen will remain cripples, y
replied the assistant.
81 have lost confidence in God and
myself" muttered the chief. 81 can
not understand why these stupid fools
try to kill each other. You ask me
to rest; are you mad? Rest, indeed
to see these poor men bleed to death"
and he jumped from his chair, ready
to operate on another of the wars
victims.
A soldier entered and addressed the
chief surgeon, tears streaming down
his face.
Pardon, doctor, have brought the
captain, my master, save him if you
can"
The captain was placed on the oper-
ating table. Little to be done here;
part of a grenade had cut open the
abdomen.
little to be done here" repeated
the surgeon aloud.
The wounded captain heard the
verdict.
