BENEFIT ASSOCIATION
FOR BEAR LAKE r

Montpelier nor Bear Lake county
had. nor has any military organiza-
ton as had other towns in the state,
but Bear Lake sent 28 of her loyal,
patriotic and gallant sons to join
tho regiment. These men were ac-
cepted and assigned to organizations
of the regiment, mostly to Co. B Of
Nampa. Now these boys are on the
border, sweating and ready, if need
be, to fight for us. 1t seems only
right and fair for us to stand by our
boys just the same as though they
had a distinct company organization.
1t Is proposed to form a Bear Lake
Recruits Association to back our
boys up and make them feel that we
appreciate their spirit of loyalty and
selt-sacrifice. At the present time
there seems to be no one ready to
take the lead, so Standby H. Rich
and REV Chas. F. Wheeler, who were
the recruiting officers, propose, to
canvas the county and start the or
ganization. Be ready to get in line
and sign up for your part when they
call.

POLITICS IN NATIONAL GUARD

1t was probably too much to ex-
pect that Governor Alexander would
lay aside his politics in the organi-
cation of the National Guard. The
people did expect it and they are
keenly disappointed that the govern
or did not arise above his selfish po-
litical ambition. In such time, a
man in such position, should arise
to the dignity of his office. And by
so doing he would have played the
best, the wisest and the mobiles pol
tiles But, and let this suffice, you
cannot make a silk purse out of a
pigs ear. The great trouble with
this country today is that little men
are trying to fill big positions. Ward
healers are trying to perform the
functions of politicians. There is
nothing wrong with politics, but
there is something decidedly wrong
with the so-called politicians. The
best politics is the highest patriotism,
always was and always will be- 1t
passes all understanding that so
many men of fair intelligence and
average honesty in the ordinary af-
fairs of life cannot let that idea take
Judgment in their minds. The hon
est, conscientious performance of the
duties of office is the straightest
road to popularity, confidence, re-
speet and favor. Instead of taking
this straight and easy road we find
Governor Alexander meandering up
hill, down dale and through chasm
in his efforts to land commissions
for deserving Democrats" of the
Alexander persuasion.
1t may be that no great harm will
be done. We rather suspect that
the governor will be unable to ac-
complish much harm. The impo-
tent selfishness and base purpose dis
played by the governor are worthy
of noting, as they mark the meas
nre of the man.
Politics of the Alexander kind is
and has been the bane of the state
militia. 1t has brought the organiza-
ton into disrepute in times past. It
promises to do the same thing again.
Politics of this kind is nothing less
than grating intrigue very thinly
veiled.-Caldwell Tribune.
