NO DEARTH OF MATERIAL.
springfield Union)

If the republican nomination for
president were going begging there
might be some reason to believe that
the party was reduced to such straits
that it would think of lavishing the
man who did his utmost in 1912 to
ruin and destroy the party. Fortunate
ly, there is no dearth of material from
which to select strong, honest and
able candidate, one whose party fealty
has never been open to question or I'M
der suspicion, and that such a man
will be the choice Of the Chicago con-
vention is as certain as anything pos
sibly can be.

But the Modest Marine Objects to
Having His Picture in the Papers.
With the declaration that he'd SOON
er face battery of artillery than a
camera, Gunnery Sergeant Daniel DAILY
of the United States marine corps,
holder of a congressional medal Of
honor for distinguished conduct in the
defence of the American legation at
Peking, China, 1900, and recommend
ed to congress for still another medal
of honor for gallantry in action at
Vera Cruz, has refused to sit for his
photograph, even though officially re-
quested to do so by the marine corps
authorities.
i am not advertising any particular
brand of heroism and l might be mis-
taken for movie actor If my picture
got into circulation" DAILY is said to
have told his superior officer.
Gunnery Sergeant Daily is consider
ed one of the bravest men in the Unit
ed States marine corps. He holds a
letter of commentator from the secre-
tary of the navy for courage and good
Judgement in extinguishing a fire on
the Schooner Springfield, March IA,
1911, in addition to the two medals of
honor.
He is AZ years Of age, has served four
enlistments in the marine corps, and
barely meets the physical requirements
weighing only 100 pounds for his s5
inches in height.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1916 No. l. /

of several first page stories and point
ed with much enthusiasm to the great
relief the lifting of this load would be
to the workingman. Not satisfied with
the mere news mention of the aboli-
ton of this tax burden, the broad
minded and phllanthropic statesman
of Kellogg who claims credit for hav-
ing fathered the law which gave the
commissioners power to wipe out this
heinous head tax of 81 per year was
given an opportunity to pose on the
first page as the man who had given
this ray of hope to the downtrodden
workingman. The fact that many la
boring men are property owners and
that the revenue raised from the hos
pital tax will still have to be raised
by increasing the property tax does
not seem to have occurred to these
newspaper and legislative champions
Of the workingman In other words,
the worklngmen who pay no property
tax are relieved of this hospital as
sessment and the amount raised by
the hospital tax is levied in some 9TH
er form on the property owning work.
ingman and other property taxpayers
A few days after this great hospital
tax reform, announcement was made
of new sliding scale of wages by the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan, Caledonia
Ontario, Sierra Nevada and Stewart
mining companies which Immediately
added so cents per day to the
wages of about 1900 working
men at Wardner and Kellogg
and although the Day daily maintains
a special Wardner- Kellogg depart
ment, no mention was made of this
the greatest piece of news that has de.
veloped in the district in many years
and up to this date the Day daily has
not mentioned the increase of wages
by those mining companies. A week
later the mines of Mullan, Canyon
creek and Nine Mile followed with 9
similar increase in wages, and still the
Day daily did not enthuse over the di-
rect increase of so cents a day for
about $500 more workingmen. The
news account was buried up on an
inside page and as a news feature II
was given far less attention than the
abolition of the measly hospital tax
which saves 50 per year to few la
boring men who pay no property tax
and will result In increasing the tax
Of those who do.
Evidently the increase in wages
which applies to over 5000 employees in
the district and which will result in
increasing the annual disbursement for
wages by over a million dollars, is
hailed with delight by everybody ex-
cept the Day daily. There is rea-
son.

EXPENSE OF GOVERNORS OFFICE
(Pocatello Tribunel

Capital News has again discovered
that there has been a reduction in the
expenses of the governors office" Why
not? He has not been there often
enough to create expense. And 1t is to
be regretted that he can not be locked
for soldering on the job just the same
as any sensible private business would
insist upon.

Mine Inspector Bell Adopts Method
to Reach His Office.

The unusual experience of snow
shoeing from his home on the inter-
urban line to the capitol was Robert
N. Bells on Thursday says the States
man.
Mr.. Bell, state mining inspector is
skillful snowshoer, having had much
experience in northern counties, but
this was his first attempt in Ada
county.
On leaving his home some four
miles down the valley, Thursday NOR
ming, seeing no street car Mr.. Bell got
out his snowshoes and was making
fine progress when a car which had
backed down from Meridian overlook
him. The car service was so irregu-
lar that Mr.. Bell decided to use his
snowshoes on his return trip also.

The Cowboy and the Tempter...
(Arthur Chapman

I met a well dressed stranger at the
bar in Poker BilPs;
| had Just come off the roundup in the
far Red Desert hills.
He spent his gold most lib'ral, but he
overplayed his hand
When he tried to buy my COW horse
for some distant warrin' land.
He offered me two hundred, which he
boosted seventy-five.
let him talk his string out, jest to see
where he'd arrive;
And he looked my pony over and then
says I'm standin' pat
On an offer of three hundred--and
you'd better grab at that"
Well. I.needed that three hundred, and
l needed it plum bad,
But the thought of selling Teton didn't
somehow make me glad,
And / says 1--WE rode that pony In
the rain and in the sun;
We have romped the range together
till our thoughts melt jest like one.
l have trained him till in turnin' he
can stand upon my hat;
You should see him on the roundup, he
is quicker than cat;
When throw a steer, that pony holds
the critter till tie,
And he loves the game he's playin,
you kin see it in his eye.
"That there boss which you would
slaughter at the front acrost the
Has shared all my troubles, and a
comrade is to me.
We have battled SHOWS together when
King Winters ruled the plains,
And we've shared the chinook breezes
and the summers first warm rains.
We have dwelt in sage and cactus till
we couldn't change our home.
When that pony travels elsewhere,
why the rider, too, will roam.
/ admit you've got me tempted but my
needs II have to wait,
So-durn it, boss, that strangers up
and pulled his ornry freight"
