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

The vote on the direct primary on
Tuesday was in the neighborhood of
10000 on the Republican ticket When
it is remembered that the total re-
publican vote of the state in 1914 was
less than $4,000, it is apparent that
fairly representative expression of
opinion has been given by the men,
bers of that party as to the nominees
desired. In Ada county the vote at
the primary election was disappoint-
ing to the believers in that form
of political selection. The total vote
on governor by the Republicans was
2705 votes. In 1914, the total vote
for governor in that county by the
Republicans was little short of 1000.
It is reported that some few Dem
ocrats so far forgot themselves as to
vote the Republican ticket. But it
is generally thought that most of
these strayers from the path of
Democratic righteousness intend to
continue as stray and follow the path
of wisdom and patriotism hereafter.

Victims of Misplaced Confidence

The teachers institute for Ada and
surrounding counties was held in
Boise throughout all of last week
The hotels and board and rooming
houses were crowded, there was a
congestion in the restaurants at meal
times, and the dry goods stores reap
ed a rich harvest The conversation
on the street cars and street corners
too was composite of psychological
argument, and suggestions as to the
length of the skirt above the shoe
tops. The attending teachers learn
ed lot both in regard to their school
duties and opportunities for service,
but good deal about the movies and
secured some fashionable hints that
will be worked out in all the primary
colors during the coming months of
winter. All the above knowledge was
on the program. But one piece of in
formation not slated, but which was
nevertheless impaired, given the as
sembled teachers and large number
of the citizens of Boise, was new
wrinkle in politics, which had been
worked out by our esteemed presi-
dent, who was like Artemus Ward in
his willingness to sacrifice all his
wifes relation on the altar of his
country during the Civil war. So the
president apparently sent his brother
in-law, Professor Arson, who carries
some initials behind his name for 1
some unknown reason, which the Al |
mighty only can satisfactorily explain (
and who under the guise of imparting
knowledge at an evening lecture dis
cussed the presidents suicidal Mexi-
can policy from a partisan standpoint
He praised it highly, feeling that his
by marriage had covered him
self with glory in his handling of
situation which has permitted the
sacrificing of hundreds of American
lives, and the outrage and rapine of
thousands of American and other
white women that policy of watchful
waiting might be pursued. There is
an impression prevalent among the
,itizens of Boise, that Professor Ak
son will not be asked to assist in the {
next teachers institute.

ture hanging before him on the wall
and he prayed earnestly that the good
kaiser might come and drive the red
trousers out. .
Corporal Fanfaron, Lisette's uncle,
took Michel aside.
"Lisette is yours, brother" he said.
"'Now lead US to the enemy in safety.
If you refuse, Lisette is lost to you
and you will get a French bullet
through your head, so think it over"
Michel intended to leave the inn,
but French soldier barred the way,
inviting him to have glass of wine.
One glass he drank followed by many
more till he sank helpless on the
bench. He noticed a soldier tearing
the kaiser's picture to pieces with his
bayonet Shouting he rose, but fell
back on the bench helpless. Lisette
helped him outside into the fresh air.
1t was dark and none of the inhabit-
ants had seen them.
In his drunken state he appealed to
her again.
"Of course l will become your wife,
but you must do something great for
me-"

him to come inside again and rest.

No cannons, no machine guns and

With tear-stained face Michel, the
crest laborer, looked down upon the

cite looked with scorn upon the man
to whom she was betrothed.
"Listen, Michel" she said; "my
father they killed at Gravelotte, and
my homestead they have burned. Do
you think l shall forget that?"
Michel interrupted her.
"Lisette, between your mother and
mine it has been settled; you love me
as l do you. What has the trouble
with France and Germany to do with

"You see the valley, from there you
will see the Frenchmen come tonight
and before it is daylight they will be
in Alsace."
"You lie!" shouted Michel. "Well,
you will see, Michel" she rejoined.
"My Uncle Fanfaron is with them. He

"and if you don't help to beat the
Germans, will disown you"
And without another word she was
gone, disappearing into the darkness
of the forest, and Michel returned to
his comrades and his work.
Walking slowly along, he was
thinking of his deformity, cursing the
nurse who had let him fall when he
was only days old.
"The Frenchmen are coming" he
unused. "Lisette has said so. They
are coming to break the peace of the
little town in the valley" Fear over
came him, he ran down to prepare the
people, cursing his love for Lisette.
"Why should I ever have met her,
that she should ask me to become
traitor to my country?" While he
was walking blindly along down the
slope he noticed above him troop of
French soldiers. Quickly his feet
moved until he reached the town,
shouting along the street, "The
Frenchmen are coming" He reached
the inn where some farmers were
playing cards. They laughed at him
at first, but when they saw the red
trousers and heard the drums beat
ing, fear came over them. Silently
they let them pass, thinking they
would march through, but no, in the
market square the soldiers were pro-
perly billetted into the burghers'
houses.

Woman's Love.

. 1t takes hundred men to make an
encampment, but it takes only the -
tiuence of one woman to make a
home. l not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever Gre
ated, but | reverence her as the re-
deemed glory of humanity, the sane
tuary of all virtues, the pledge of all
perfect qualities of heart and head.
1t is because women are so much bet
ter than men that their faults are
considered greater. The one thing in
this world that is considered constant.
the only peak that rises above the
clouds, the window in which the light
burns forever, the one star that dark
ness cannot quench, is woman's love.
1t rises to the greatest height, it sinks
to the lowest depth, it forgives the
most cruel injustice. A woman's love
is the perfume of the heart. This is
the real love that subdues the earth.
the love that has wrought miracles of
art, that gives US music all the vav
from cradle song to the grand svm
| phOny that bears the soul awav on
wings of fire. A love that is create,
than fire, ,sweeter than life and
stronger than death.-Robert q In
| gersoll.

WILSON DRAWBACK TO cox
rormer Governor Gives Version, When
Asked, About His Chances for
Reelection.

James NJ. Cox feels that Woodrow
Wilson would be a milestone around
his neck in his effort for reelection.
The above sentiment implied by the
former governor, in answer to a ques-
Eion asked by The Columbus Citizen
rs to whether or not Mr.. Cox thought
he would be reelected governor, and
why, threw CONSERVATION into the
Democratic camp at the capital. Mr.
Cox said:
''If the state ticket were separated
from the national, the present admin
istration would be beaten by 100000"
Therefore, the name of Wilson above
the name of Cox on the ticket will, in
his opinion, heavily reduce the major
itv he would otherwise receive for
governor
Another question asked the ex-gov-
ernor was what he expected to accom-
plish if he were reelected governor
His answer:
''The chief objective will be to turn
things around and let the state move
forward progressively, as from 1913 to
1915"
This means another Lattanner;
Another giving away of the serum
farm;
Another theft of a bill in the legis
lature;

endum petition for which the thief was

Columbus, O.-For many years the
canals of Ohio were used merely for
political purposes and were a liabil-
ity to the state instead of an asset.
Under the present administration the
canals are no longer a liability. They
are making money for Ohio. In for
mer years the people Of the state paid
for the upkeep of their canals and
canal lands, and paid the salaries of
political henchmen. If the present
economic handling of the department
of Public Works is maintained, the
canals will be valuable assets.

has converted an annual deficit OF

z CHAPTER XXI IL:
The Sunset Gun

Mr.. Cortwright sat back in his chair,
and once more Brouillard saw in the
sandy-gray eyes the look which had
been in the sons eyes when the dere-
lict fought for freedom to finish killing
Stephen Massingale.
Its a pretty dangerous thing to try
to hold man up unless you've got the
drop on him, Brouillard," he said sig
nificantly. 1--WE got you covered from
my pocket; I've had you covered that
way ever since you began to buck and
rear on me a couple of months ago.
One little wire word to Washington
fixes you for good and all. If say the
word, you'll stay on your job just as
long as it will take another man to get
here to supersede you"
Brouillard laughed.
"The pocket drop is never very safe
Mr.. Cartwright. You are likely to lose
too much time feeling for the proper
range. Then, too, you can never be
sure that you won't miss. Also, your
assumption that I'm taking an un
armed mans chance is wrong l car
kill you before you can pull the trig
ger of the pocket gun you speak Of
kill you so dead that you won't need
anything but a coroner's jury and 6
coffin. How long would it take you tt
get action in the Washington matter
do you think?"
1--WE told you; you have just abou
a week longer to live, at the farthest."
81 can better that" was the COO
reply. .I have asked you to do a Ger
tain thing tomorrow night If you. dom
do it, the Spotlight will print, on thu
following morning, that letter l spok'
of-the letter from my friend in tn,
bureau of land statistics. When tha
letter is printed everybody in Mirapo
lis will know that you and your accom-
plices are plain swindlers, amenable t.
the criminal law and from that me
ment there will never be another rea
estate transfer in the Niquoia valley"
The promoter rose slowly out of hi
chair and stood leaning heavily wit
flattopped cesk. His cheeks wer
puffed ouE and the bitten muStache
bristled like the whiskers of gray oil
leader of the timber wolves.
''Brouillard," he grated huskily
docs this mean that you're breakin
with US, once for all?"
1T means more than that; it mean
that have reached a point at which
am ashamed to admit that there wa
ever anything to break"
Then listen: You've helped thi
thing along as much as, or more thai
anybody else in this town; and ther
are men right here in Mirapolis-
plenty of 'em-who will kill you like
rat in a hole if you go back on thel
as you are threatening to. Don't yo
! know that?"
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1916-06-02

notwithstanding the preliminary ru-
mors which Bongras and many others
had sought so anxiously to verify, the.
Mirapolitan awakening to o realization
that once more the tide had turned to
bring new billows Of prosperity tum-
bling into the valley of the Niquoia
came with a sudden and triumphant
shock
The first OF the quickening waves
fell upon the government reservation.
Between sunrise and nightfall. on a
day when the cloud Of depression had
grown black with panic threatenings,
the apathy which had lately character
ized the work on the great dam disap-
peared as II by magic. The city found
its billboards posted with loud calls
for labor; the idle mixers were put in
commission; the quarries and crush
ers began to thunder again; and the
stagings once more shook and trembled
under the feet of busy army of pud-
dlers.
While the revival was as yet only in
the embryonic period, fresh labor be-
gan to come in gangs and in carloads
and presently by special trains. Swarm
ing colonies of Greeks, Italians and
Bulgarians were dumped upon the city
through the gate Of the railroad sta
tion. and once more Chigringo avenue
at night became a cheerful midway

me, not because you have money, but
because for time was weak enough
and wicked enough to climb down and
stand on your level. But if you don't
hurry. Mr.. Cortwright, I'll get you first.
Are you going? One thing more-and
it's kindness; get your son out of
town before this Massingale matter
comes up for adjustment 1t will be
safer"
Is that all you have to say?"
Pretty nearly all, except to tell you
that your time is growing short, and
you and those who are in with you had
better begin to set your houses in or
der. If you'll come over here at eight
o'clock tomorrow night prepared to do
the square thing by David Massingale,
I'll withhold the publication of that
letter which will stamp. you and your
associates as criminals before the law;
but that is the only concession I shall
make"
you've got to make at least one

drowning act!"
I'm justice to a good many people
who are measurably innocent, 1 shall
have to do that very thing" returned
the engineer firmly. "The notice will
appear in tomorrow's Spotlight"
1t was the final straw in the stocky
promoters crushing wrath burden. His
fat face turned purple, and for a sec
ond or two he clawed the air, gasping
for breath. Brouillard sat back in his
chair, waiting for the volcanic up
heaval. But it did not come. When he
had regained measure of self-control
Mr.. Cortwright turned slowly and went
out without a word, stumbling over the
threshold and slamming the dool
heavily as he disappeared.
For a time after the promoter,
wordless departure Brouillard sat a
his desk writing steadily. When thu
last of the memorandum sheets wa,
filed he found his hat and street Goa
and left the Office. Ten minutes late
he had penetrated to the dusty den OF
the second floor of the Spotlight offic,
where Harlan was grinding copy TO

the desk end and laid the sheets O

editors eyes.

BONDS OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP
Thorough Understanding and Com
piete Sympathy Are Necessary
Sentiment Never Lasting.


Some acquaintances will never ripen
into true friendship because the COM
mon bond of union, the thorough un-
derstanding and the complete SYM
nathy are lacking.
An acquaintance begun in childhood
will ripen into friendship if the chill
dren develop mutual interest in COM
mon cause of study or pleasure. If
dissimilar tastes and unlike impulses
develop the children will grow apart,
since each of US tends toward certain
centers of association.
Money cannot buy US friends. 1t
often purchases apparent friendship,
but when the wealth goes that which
posed as friendship yanishes also.
Friendship must be distinguished
from that sentimental feeling which
| is so common among young girls. This
ridiculous fascination, which expresses
itself in extravagant terms of endear-
ment, is very tickle.
AS soon as it finds faults in one idol
it transfers it's affection to another
Youth has yet to learn that perfection
! in human nature does not exist. The
sensible man or woman does not sci
up an ideal of friendship so high that
! it must be shattered.
