affairs and relationships Of
men. can possibly doubt that
law of love and charity has
been most grossly violated
persistentlv and consciously
since that law was first enun-
ciated. But this is only the
beginning of the list of fail
ures on mans part to live in
harmony with Gods COM
mands. In fact. our whole
civilization is permeated from
top to bottom with the rotten.
ness of sin and selhshness.
Such a broad and sweeping
statement does not in the
least controvert the equally
true statement that there are
many true, sincere, loyal fol-
lowers of Christ whose light
is shining steadily and bright.
ly, and whose lives make all
the more clear by force of con
trast the surrounding dark
ness. Because sin is so ter
rible a thing and its conse-
quences so horrible is no rea-
son for doubling the goodness
Of God or His love to man.
For on the other hand, the
consequences of his obeying
Hislaws and living in Har-
mony with His will do un-
questionably bring peace and
Joy, add all the satisfactions
of life we'll spent. Unless
we admit this corresponding
truth we merely give proof
that we are narrow-minded
and disposed to consider but
one side of the problem. An
honest, fair-minded and dis
passionate study of the whole
matter will compell us to ad J.
nit that there is no true rea-
son for doubling our God or
His love to man. Let us ra-
ther be reminded enough
to put the blame where it truly
belongs-upon ourselves.
In looking back over many
of the tragic events of history
We have brought home to US
the truth so we'll stated CEN
turies ago: Surely the wrath
of man shall praise Thee; the
remainder OF wrath shalt
Thou restrain" One or two
examples will show. The ter
ribIe outbreak of man S cruel
t. and stupidity shown in the
horrors of the inquisition
caused the faith of many to
waver. and not a few to deny
their Lord. But can any one
now question that, by the wis
dom of Almighty God, this
fearful storm of mans wrath
was made the very instrument
whereby the flame which was
intended to consume and de-
stroy those who believed in
worshipping their God accord
their conscience. was
converted into the very means
whereby religious liberty
eventually became dominant ?
Persecution drove our fore :
fathers across the seas; but
the landing at Plymoth Rock
was symbolic of that rock
foundation of freedom to
think and believe as we choose
N which was to be founded

y of our country. The awful
slaughter of our Civil War

Every legislative session since
Idaho became a state was I'M
doubtedly nick-named before it
completed its work and we sup
pose the present session will be
no exception. We call to mind
"the MIN BILE Ninth, " the Terri
BILE Tenth" ''the Elusive Elev-
enth," the Trifing Twelfth, "
and 1.-THE Thrifty Thirteenth. "
We suggest the name of Famous
Fourteenth" for the present ses-
sion and hope the legislative body
makes it live up to the name by
securing the completion of the
north and south road and by pass
ing more beneficial legislation
and fewer useless laws than any
of their predecessors.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1917
A CONSERVATIVE BODY.

One of the initial impressions
of the fourteenth session of Ida
hos legislature is that it is COM
posed of conservative men for
the most part. 1t would be an
unusual gathering these days
that did not present some evil
dence of radicalism, but the at
titude of the majority of the
members of the legislature, and
of those who will be looked up to
as leaders, sustains the belief
that the session will not be
marked by extreme measures
nor the states development re-
tarded by unwise enactments.
If that belief shall be borne
out by actual results, the four
teenth will constitute an accurate
reflection of Idaho public senti-
mentor the people of Idaho
are not radical at least in relation
to the essential features of state
growth. Whenever the real pro-
gross of the state has been in
volved, the public has viewed the
situation calmly and philosophy
cally and has readily indorsed
such reasonable actions as would
bring about the desired results.
That appears to be the deter
mination of the large proportion,
if not all, the members of the
fourteenth. They desire to pro-
mote state development. They
realize they cannot do so by per-
hitting unjust attacks upon our
industries, our agriculture, our
mining, the various phases of the
livestock industry, of the timber
business, of horticulture. When
they are unfairly assaulted, they
alone are not harmed but a grave
injustice is done to all the people,
and the needed additional invest
ment and population seek other
fields until assurance is given
that the mistakes of the past
will not be repeated Capital
