Literary Taste and Politics.

We have sorrowfully thought sometimes within the past week that there is some relation between the literary of the country disclosed by reports of the best sellers and the result of the national election. The two evidences of the countrys deca- dence weNfear are related confirmatory of the other, in which have not ground for hope of early improvement of the political situation:
 In days gone by, when it was believed that some little study of grammar and composition with a bit of rhetoric the side, a necessary prerequisite to writing public consumption the definition given language that it is for communicating thought Unhappily it has come to pass that in the hands of many popular" story writers language and thought quite strangers times.

 Next day we made him lance corporal and gave him dozen backward recruits to bring on. In fortnight he full corporal; after months he was sergeant; after three months he corporal again; week or two later lance corporal; at the end of four months he back in the ranks. He had a faing-just one-and it had been his master for ten years He told me all about it. He asked me, in confidence. personal favor to recommend him for promotion again.

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-Trading in todaNs market was characterized by degree of extravagance and acti- witty rarely surpassed in any of the previous bull movements of the last two years. Aside from recognized basic conditions of a highly favor able character. there were no devel- opments to explain the movement, which received much of it's impetus from a confident purpose and, the usual professional sources.
 There were scarcely any excep- tons to the up-swing. A better in> nuiry for rails benefited that divi sion. though advances were relativly nominal and not well maintained.

Kinq Cotton II.

Cotton long ago proclaimed king in the south. His rule was perhaps always benefcent, though frequently weak and his subjects suffered as sub- jects always suffer under weak rule He encour- aged easy sip-shod ways of living. At times riches were lavishly showered upon his people, but the king was not wise enough and powerful enough to ward off the years It is sometimes doubtful whether the south has prospered under his reign it would have prospered under powerful and exacting monarch
 Another King Cotton has to reign in the Salt River Valley. He is another kind of a king who in sists that his subjects shall give obedience strict and if so they shall be rewarded richly Nothing is left chance to circumstances, which may not be fortutous but he puts it into the power of his sub jects surround themselves with fortuitous circum stances.
 The subjects of King Cotton do not have to depend upon the vagares of weather, upon the early or the latter rain which may may not come He has given them freedom from pests and has made the invasion of pests difficult If they come they will be invited by the cotton growers just every untoward which makes failure will be the direct result of the whose punishment will be failure. If laws of the king regarding planting cultivating and otherwise caring for the crop observed, there be failure.
 King Cotton has also provided his subjects with market which cannot be greatly or dissaStously dis turbed The price of may times abnormaly high but it be ruinously low It is the only kind of cotton the new use for which rapidly increasing and it is the only kind of whose production is confined very limited of the earths surface.
 It is something of which to boast that nowhere else the face of the earth there such fine quality of cotton is being produced in the Salt River Valley.

Freshman Class.

We are all feeling bad because a few of our best pupils have quit school. Some of them have moved away and are going to other schools, while the others are staying at home.
 It seems as if all of us are improv- ing in our studies. We have had few tests and every one has made good grades. Next week is the regu- lar time for the months examinations. We hope that we will all make better grades than we did the first month of school because it is time for us to get to where we can understand Latin and the rest of our studies.
 1 wonder how it would seem to have Willie Nolan with us on time twice in the same day. Last week out of a ten possible tardies, Willie missed only four.
 All of the Freshmen have been so busy studying the past week that there is not much of anything that's happened that might be worthy of putting in the paper
 The Freshmen basketball has been punctured for some time but is fixed now. They will practice as soon as it is dry enough. They intend to play the grammar school girls again as soon as they have little more prac- tice, as we know the grammar school has practiced every afternoon.

The Senior class is we'll represented on the foot ball team; the 'brains' of the team are Seniors.

champions of Central Idaho, by de-
feating the Caldwell team with a
score of IS to 81. 1t was Payette's
game from the start. Along toward
the middle of the first half Payette
had such comfortable lead that the
fans did not need to worry. When
the half closed the score stood 16 to
8 in favor of the Payette bunch. Cald
we'll had wonderful pass which they
worked continually throughout the
game but they were unable to make
the baskets. Shafer and Goodwin Sc

seem to have his usual luck shooting
baskets, he took many shots but
they were long ones, most of which
he missed AS whole the game

Maule and Wood for their excellent
performance as guards.
