STILL FOOLISH
AT BOISE

The services of the fool-killer are
still needed in Idaho's capital city.
The courts down there are still TAX
ing well-behaved citizens into Gus
tody and charging them with the
bas. est behavior that can be laid
against anyone and hiring criminals
to give testimony to substantiate the
charges. Less than a week ago a
man serving a Jail sentence for forg-
cry, was brought up out OF the cell
and by the prosecution placed on the
witness stand to testify to his inn
moral relations with young per-
son named in court and charged with
immortality. The witness told where
he met the accused, who introduced
them, where they were companions
together and named the places and
street numbers. An eminent attor-
ney in court proposed, in order to
test the truthfulness of the witness
and to determine the character of
the young person whose name and
liberty were at stake, that the jury
and officers of the court should go
to the places indicated in the fellows
testimony and let him show them the
particular places. This was done,
and he pointed out the residence of
an eminently respectable family OF
Boise, place not corresponding to
any street number he had named
when in court, and then took them
to another place, which, upon inquiry
was found to be the abode of an
Austrian family who could not speak
English and it was not such a place
as could be associated with the &C
lions charged. AS further test
OF the truthfulness Of the witness,
they sent for the man who was said
to have introduced them, and the
man on oath said he never saw the
accused before and she said she had
never seen him.
Think of the spectacle Of a young
woman, her name and liberty at
stake, burning with rage and grief,
confronted in court with the gravest
charge, and being held and prosecut-
ed upon the testimony of a criminal
whose story would not hold together
while they walked around few city
blocks. And the mayor of city,
the peace officers and special detec-
tives and prosecutor acting under the
authority of the city, allowing that
thing to go on and letting the sland-
erer go unhung. He probably re-
ceived 1925 for testifying, when he
ought to have had his head broken
forthwith. The mayor is said to be
trying to put down certain species
of crime, but in no case has the
exposed perjuror been seized and
punished for the wrong done to any
ones name. Nor has the judge call
ed in those responsible for introduce
ing the perjuror and roasted the life
out of them. But possibly he had
no weapons!

will have places on the frieze, but
it will not be a monument to any
one man, but a memorial to cause
The conception of the nature OF the
memorial is due to Mrs. G. Helen
Plane. president of the Monument
association, assisted by William A.
Terrill, lawyer of Atlanta, and the
idea and details are to be worked
out and carried to completion by the
Danish-American sculptor, Gutzon
Borglum of New York City, who ex-
poets to be engaged eight years on
the work. 1t is expected to cost
! $2,00O,000. The mountain was own
ed by Samuel Venable of Atlanta and
he and his heirs have decided 1t to
the association.
! The sculptor in sanguine in the
belief that nothing which has ever
been attempted in the way Of memoir
ial will compare with this work when
completed. He thinks the men who
built the Pyramids had the same
purpose in mind, that Greece might
have anticipated the work, but
neither Egypt nor Greece had the
needed mountain.
All Americans will be glad to see
this work carried to completion. 1t
will not only be splendor to look
upon, but it will carry lessons to the
generations that are to succeed the
present one. The first thought will
be of the giants of 1861-'65; the sec
ond will be that a higher than NOR
tai power watches and directs the
destinies of nations and that its
edicts cannot be turned aside.
Madam De Stael looking upon the
exquisite scLlptured f:'ieZe of great
cathedral, liken it to frozen music"
If the sculptor realizes his idea in
the working out of his design on
Stone mountain, it will be funeral
march in granite and the refrain will
seem to ring out down the ages from
the stone, requiem over an IRE
sistible valor that was suddenly
transfixed. The pyramids were built
by selfish and cruel men to secure
for themselves undisturbed graves.
That fact brings to men who see
them something of the mould and
odor of decay. This mountain frieze
near Atlanta will be in sthe open
where the lightnings, the tempests
and the sunbeams can all beat upon
the moving army.
Below in the forest there will be
a temple cut in the mountain side
with 200 foot front, which front
will be supported by 13 great
columns to symbolic the 10 con-
federate states, and the mountain
will be cut out SO feet deep, fur
nished in stone and dedicated to the
women of the confederacy.
There will not be figure carried
to the mountain; all will be carved
from the granite
Lower still great park with
walks, creeks and lake will be
created in the forest. The sculptor
believes that when the work shall
be completed it will make all other
attempts in sculpture in this country
look like 80 cents.

CAN THE COUNCIL
BEAT IT?

Blackfoot people, who are chatting
because the city is using water sup
piled by private enterprise and who
are anxious to have it supplied by
municipal money and municipal man
agement, are invited to consider the
practical demonstrations before them
and qeustion themselves as to why
the other would be better.
Last Friday morning at O'CLOCK
there was an accident at the water
works and two pumps went to pieces
The fire emergency pump was i'm
mediately connected and the water
in the tank was released slowly to
avoid wasting. If fire had started
fire pressure was ready from the fire
pump forcing it into the mains from
the wells direct. In ten hours the
broken pumps were in action again
and the public scarcely realized that
there had been any trouble.
In October, 1914, a house was
afire. A lot of unframed fellows with
good intentions were swarming thru
and over the house doing different
things and shouting, Turn it on!'
"Shut er Off" "Give me an ax!"
"Up here, you fellows!" Look out
below"
A few hundred people assembled
and were looking on and having a
very good time. Somebody drove a
vehicle over the hose up the street
and split it and let the water out in
the gutter. Those who saw the water
pressure fail at the nozzle ridiculed
the water company. The fire was
.out anyhow and the crowd dis
persed.
Three months afterwards this
paper renewed it's agitation for a
periodical drill for the fire company,
and called attention to the fact that
the hose that was split, in October
had never been repaired and they
were not prepared to efficient work
for the next fire. Two months later
we again called the attention of the
city government to the fact and stat
ed that the split in the hose rendered
the whole section useless, and that
If there should be a fire beyond the
reach Of the good hose and within
reach of the hose if it was repaired,
and the house should burn down be-
cause of the one section being out
of commission, the city or the coun-
cilmen's bondsmen would probably
have to pay the fire loss. Still the
hose was not repaired and there were
no fire drills. Three months later
we again published the fact that the
city thru it's council was paying in
terest on the bonds for the cost OF
the hose and at the same time letting
It lie unusable and a menace to them
selves and their bondsmen and de-
priving a certain belt of the city
fthe protection for which
they were paying. Nothing was done
and no fire drills were held to secure
efficiency in handling so much OF the
apparatus as could be taken into &C
.ion at a fire. A few months later
, FIRE chief was employed and In time
he fire chief and the chief OF police
nended the split in the hose and

friends who had come to celebrate
her birthday. The ladies had not
come empty handed, indeed not.
After visiting for short time they
prepared the supper they had most
generously provided. When all the
work had been completed seven
hungry men appeared. Isn't it funny
how the men always show up" when
there is anything to eat in sight?
The meal was joyfully eaten, after
which all spent pleasant evening.
When they departed Mrs. Gaddie was
not alone in wishing that such an
occasion would occur often.

and convincing. Mr. Jump illustrated
