Young Mrs. Moore walked right in,

housewives to call them up on Fridays

a good little business.
One Saturday she got a letter from
John telling about the preparations
for a big Labor day celebration OF
Monday. She remembered that last
Labor day was the first time she haC

The California, Mississippi and Idaho
are to be armed with a new type CT
finch gun, which will show a con.
siderable increase Of power over the
45-caliber gun. The new piece is six
feet longer in the bore than the 45-
caliber l4-inch. and its velocity and
energy have been greatly Increased.
the muzzle energy being something
over 70,000-foot tons.
Rear Admiral Strauss, chief of ord
nance. states that these new guns are
capable Of penetrating the heaviest
side arnor at oblique impact at the
greatest effective battle range. It is
gratifying to learn that the new type
of 16-inch, 45-caIiber gun built at the
Washington gun factory, has fulfilled
the highest expectations. and that the
bureau believes it to be as powerful a
gun as any in existence today.

NOTED SUFFRAGE SPEAKER
TO STOP At MONTPELIER

Inez Milholland Boissevain. the
famous suffrage speaker, noted also
as one OF the most beautiful women
in the United States, win be in Mont
pelier Sunday, Oct. 8, according to
announcement received here today
from the national headquarters at
Washington OF the Congressional
Union for woman suffrage and the
woman's suffrage party.
Miss Milholland, when she mar
ried Eugene Boisseyain, citizen Of
The Netherlands, lost her American
citizenship. This law applies only to
American women, not TO American
men taking foreign wives.
BY profession she is q lawyer,
practising in New York She attempt
cd to enter Harvard and Columbia
university law schools, but being a
woman was denied admission. She
graduated In law from New York
university law school. Previously she
had been educated abroad and at
! Vassar. She has been active in va
rious social and economic move
ments. having been an agitator for
the labor organizations in the shirt
waist and laundry strikes ip New
York.
Mrs. Boissevain is tall, athletic,
striking in appearance and of a
stately beauty. She rode a milk
white horse, as herald of the famous
suffrage parade in Washington on the
day before the inauguration OF Pres
/ ident Wilson. The suffragists on that
occasion, as is we'll recalled, were
subjected to many indignitiea by the
hooting crowd which lined Pennsyl-
vania avenue on both sides.
Later-Since the above was placed
in type we have learned that Mrs.
Boissevain will be in Montpelier
Sunday only during the time No. II
stops here. During that time she will
make few remarks from an impro-
vised platform which will be ar
ranged for her at the depot. The
I public is cordially invited to meet
and hear this noted lady next Sun
day afternoon.

According TO the Standpoint papers,
Governor Alexander's line Of attack
IN has talk there one night last week
lay chiefly against the legislature.
lie characterized the work of that
body as being punk" and said IL
the people OF the state could not
send better men to the legislature
than were found in the last session
they had better send down some wo-
men. That statement Ii pretty hard
slam at the democratic members OF
the last legislature, as there were
nearly as many democrats as there
were republicans In that body. AS
the governor made no exception, but
punched the entire membership an
worthless, we presume that he in
cluded Senator Pugmire and Repre-
sentatives Cruikshank and Z, Findlay
Of this county. It seems strange that
there was not even one worthy man
among the 39 democrats who were
members Of the last legislature. II
is certainly unbecoming, to say the
least, for the governor of state to
openly proclaim every member OF
the legislature as being worthless. .

TO THE VOTERS OF
BEAR LAKE COUNTY

1t appears that there are num-
Der of voters in Bear Lake county
who desire to know what attitude
shall take in regard to certain
road matters If elected commissioner
from the Third district.
To answer such inquiry / want to
state that IL elected shall consider
myself a representative of all the
people of the county and shall en-
deavor to carry out the wishes and
conserve the interests of all, without
partiality or favorftism. l believe
there Is general demand all over
the county for better roads and that
the people are willing to spend money
for road building providing it is
spent intelligently and economically.
With this idea in view, ! shall work,
not only to keep the roads in general
good condition, but to adopt a sys-
tenn OF permanent road building
whereby part of the road may be
built each year according to the best
approved method of modern road
building, commensurate with our
needs and resources, with the idea
Of gradually extending the same over
all the important highways of the
county.
With reference to the Montpelier
Alton road shall stand for carrying
out the resolution of the board OF
commissioners passed Sept Is, ap-
propriating $4,000 of the county
funds and asking the federal gov
eminent for $4,000 from the funds
available to be spent on roads thru
the national forests. shall also ia
vor further appropriations IL neces-
sary, and shall make diligent effort
to have the forest department coop
crate with this county to make a
first-class road from Montpelier to
Star valley.
Referring to that part of the Coke
ville-Star valley road that lies with
In Bear Lake county, and extends
about eight miles thru the Thomas
Fork valley, will say that I have
no personal interest in said road,
whatsoever, and that | shall not ia
yor nor ask for any appropriation
from this county for said road, any
more than may be necessary to keep
this road in as good condition as
other roads of similar Importance in
the county.
Respectfully,
FRED G. EVANS.

DAVIS WILL WIN

The Leader-Hera1d believes that
ID. w. Davis will be the next COVER
nor because he deserves to be. Some
times IL looks as tho trickery and
fraud triumph over frankness and
honesty for time. But when they
do it Is only temporarily. There Is
an eternal justice that sooner or
later makes itself manifest in the
affairs of men. For a time Alexans
der, with his glib tongue and catchy,
IL ungrammatical, phrases, swept the
state off its feet. His sermons, from
the pulpit and coarse talk elsewhere
alike caught the crowd, but thanks
to the intelligence Of the people of
Idaho, his sun Is waning. He is no
longer receiving invitations to desc
crate houses of worship. He no
longer finds his cheap claptrap
about the brass collared town man
being an enemy Of the farmer and
workingman, drawing card. His
false statements about what he had
and would do for the taxpayers of
the state have been exposed. The
people know now that he has spent
the greater portion of his time for
which the people paid him a good
salary doing nothing nothing but go
ing over the state boasting about
himself.
In Mr.. Davis. the people know that
they have strong, clean man, one
who has been a consistent temper
ance man all his life. man who Ia
the same in his public as In his pri-
vate life, one who has no skeleton
in his closet to be carefully guarded
lest it be exposed to the public gaze
and ruin him. He can lie down at
night with no fear that the rising
sun may see him diahonored and dis
credited. He is man who as COVER
nor will give his best thought to
the service of the people and not to
devices advertising himself. In short
he IL every inch man and that il
why he will be the next governor.
