THREATENED RAILROAD STRIKE.

Owing to the war in Europe the Mexican situation, the
controversy with Germany the impending presidential
campaign the threatened strike of the railway engineers
remen conductors and other tranen has attracted
the attention merits Such strike would have greater
and more immediate effect upon every individual in the
country than other impending event excluding
break in the diplomatic relations with Germany There is
city village in the country that has than
weeks supply of all the necessities of life hand. The
strike would paraze the transportation facilities of the
couny tie up industry; shut down factories and Mines
cripple agriculture; in short stop all industry and
merce.
The strike would be national calamity and neither side
to the should by arbitrary action produce this
calamity. The controversy be settled by arbitration
Both sides to the controversy have been flooding the
mails for weeks past with argument for themselves and
against the other The purpose of all this literature is
create public sentiment and especially press sentiment
Public sentiment refuses be aroused except
sty of the trouble being settled without strike In this
controversy the rights of the public should be saeguarded
above everything else.

man. His is splendid Burley was a
splendid man. His successor is also splendid man.
Mr. Burnley in very close contact with the people

the state to his department and under his
agement far the Short Line concerned. The
people of Idaho great deal the public spirit

of the Short Line of the people of southern Idaho
That statement made seriously Col Priest the great
est factor in maintaining good relations between the rail-
road and the public. Such relations be maintained

EXPERTS PROVE NOTHING.

We are assured that it is well worth while to have the
records of the county and that the Van Deusen
audit be justified the grounds that the records
Without question the records should be
and they correct, the money well
spent. Are the records and that the
audit has been made?
When Will Monk was succeeded office by the present
county there considerable of money
that Mr.. Monk could not account for This money
turned in to the will Monk Trust Fund to be diverted
other funds these shown to entitled
it. The audit has been made, the accounts have been
checked and there still remains the residue of the will
Monk Trust Fund Is that getting the records cleaned
and cleared up Be it remembered that the expert felt
called upon commend Mr. Monk in his report for the
excellency Of his books So far this fund is
ed the expert found that certain moneys could be
counted for and be found in special fund The
people knew this months before Van Deusen was en-
ployed.
In the of Geser trust fund created days
before the publication of the report In this fund
5000. The report charges Geser with shortage OF
$1,000. What is to be done with the balance of nearly
$4,000? Where did it from and why? Are these
records correct?
Former county officials who have taken the trouble
check up the Van Deusen report have noted
in the document. The board of county commits
sones is satisfied with the report of its expert They
going give former officials opportunity check
and the report of the experts employed by the
county.
The Van Deusen audit made for political purposes
The desire to discredit Republican officials The pur-
pose failed miserably. Now the argument is advanced
that the object strengthen the records. The
report itself and the subsequent actions of the board
county show concusvely that the records
not Strengthened up What was really accomplished?
What good did the experts dor How can the waste of
$4,000 less be justified? If the audit had done
anything in the world it would have been worth while
The experts did nothing of value proved nothing and
cleared up nothing

FRANKLIN ON WAR AND PEACE,

Benz Franklin is credited with the aphorism-"There
never was good war bad peace" There to
be question of the authenticity of the saying Franklin
had habit of saying things, wise and foolish
He did not always live to his words He found in his
experience that gtering genealties could govern
him in specific instances.
Franklin was of the commissioners appointed to
negotiate the treaty of peace with Great Britain There
evidently arose some criticism of the appointment of
Franklin to this commission on account of the saying
above quoted. Writing to David Hartley, English
friend under date of February g. $780, according to Bge-
lows Franklin, VOL II, page 4oS, Franklin wrote
IF the Congress have intrusted to others, rather
than to me- the negotiations for peace, when such
shall be set foot has been reported, it is per-
haps because they may have heard of very singular
opinion of mine that there hardly ever existed such
thing as bad peace a good war, and that might
therefore be easily induced to make improper con-
cessions, But at the same time they and you may be
assured, that | should think the destruction of our
whole country and the extirpaton of whole peo-
ple preferable to the infamy of abandoning allies

INFLUENCE OF JOHN HART.

Strange as it may seem, convinced that Hon.
John Hart exercises greater influence in gentle Idaho
than he does in Mormon Idaho. By virtue of the in
huence he is supposed have among the Mormons he
has no trouble in bending the nonMormons to his will
In turn Mr. Hart is able to direct the attention of the
Mormon people to his influence among the Mormons
which in turn strengthens him home. By thus work
ing both ends against the middle Mr.. Hart is man of
real influence in the state of Idaho He plays against
the other and with the greatest The leading
politicians of Idaho use John Hart whenever they can
and are used by him willy nilly
The Mormon people have always had men among them
who pretended to with them the voice vote
the southeast Such one, for many years was George
I. Parkinson Another Sam Rich A third and
the most astute and treighest of the three is John
he influence of Hart is due great deal more the
creduty and cupidy of the nonMormons than it is to
the subservancy of the Mormons.
So long as gentle Idaho Salt Lake barter for
support that long will like Mr. Hart exert great in
terest in political affairs. We do blame the Mormons
Tor taking advantage of the opportunity and least of all
we blame John Hart.

ANYTHING TO BEAT WORK.

The hardest work in the world is to beat work Even
when successful you harder when you go about
your business and attend to it. 1t takes some people
long time realize the truth here set forth Some of
them realize it. They go through life frittering
away their time working hard and doing nothing. The
effort to beat work another manifestation of the
nal struggle of to get something for nothing Very
few have gotten anything for nothing and
few will.
The highest satisfaction in the world from the
realization of hard task we'll done. There is exaa-
ton derived from accomplishment that cannot be COM
pared with any other pleasure The exaation is both
immediate and lasting 1t is instant qualification and
pleasant memory to be cherished through the years We
presume that in measure this exaation is experienced
by the person who successfully beats work.
We all gamblers by nature and the game of beat
ing work unquestionaby appeals great many of u.s.
perhaps to the great majority 1t is will the whsp
nevertheless, and ninety and nine who follow will land
in bog.

The Tribune does not pretend to ac-
count for Mr.. French's popularity.
He has had it for many years. He
will be nominated for representative at
the coming primary election, unless
there has been wonderful change in
public sentiment. No such change is
apparent on the surface.
North Idaho will do well to forget
about the senatorship. That section
wants the governor, representative
or two in congress, secretary of
state, a superintendent of public in
struction, and justice of the supreme
court Landing these offices will keep
the north fairy busy without fighting
over again the senatorial fights Of two
