duced into the Idaho legislature and

tion of the president. has again been

Ia unfortunate that a crowd Of trouble
makers could be able to put the whole
nation in danger of an unnecessary
war, simply because they believe they
can gain some little local prestige by

DON'T CREATE DIsCoRD.

PHIs city is moving along nicely Business is flour
with go-ahead spirit
Now comes city campaign always bearing the pos
sby of the creation of harsh feeling and disruption of
forces that otherwise would have remained cohesive and
effective.
In our Judgment it would have been better if the pres
ent administration headed by Mayor Hays, could have
been continued without contest There to be no
occasion for change The affairs of the city have been
conducted in BUSINESS like and with due regard
to that character of that must be associated with
progress in order to be practical in its benefits
The city has been kept clean. The law has been en-
forced without any violent outburst of radcasm ia
naticsm, always productive of more harm than good
It does SEEM in view of the conditions that the city
would be justified in swapping horses merely for the
city of having change
In the absence of for them civic changes
at the end of short city administration always preg
nant with the prospects of unwse experimentation, and
the spirit behind them certainly dssuades the kind of
the public wants from consentng to them.
It seems though that we are to have campaign and
already signs not wanting that there may be
less bitterness injected into it by designing nstrmenta
ties.
We trust the public will not permit itself to be
essary wrought up by those agencies At the present
time sharp division among the people Of Boise would do
special harm because of the encouragement that would
be felt by many who have put their shoulders to the wheel
in behalf of united effort make bigger and greater
city here.

BED TIME TALES
Toppy Cottontail
By CLARA INGRAM JUDsoN

Ior"5 e"IGN LIKE the same things
but have very different reasons for
their liking. You know that your.
self. So when you hear that Slippy
White-mouse liked the cornfleld and
that Toppy Cottontail liked it too, but
for different reason, you'll not be
surprised. And maybe you will like
to hear about it.
Slippy White-mouse liked the corn
field because she liked corn; and be-
cause the big shocks of piled up corn
made the safest sort of a hiding
place in which she might live. On
the other hand, Toppy Cottontail
liked the cornfield because it was a
nice place to play, and because 1t
was easy to run through. You see
Toppy did not feel his responsible
ties very much. He was thinking
more about good times and fun than
anything else. And the cornfield was
full of good times for a little rabbit
who was out for fun.
Maybe you are wondering about
Toppy's name-isn't 1t a funny one?
When he was born his mother had
such big family that really she had
4 hard time finding names for every
one. But the minute she set her
eyes on Toppy, she had name for
him. She didn't wait a second For
he was the only one of all the fam
lily who had handsome snow-white
gnot on the front of his forehead.
That's the most distinguished rab-
bit OF my whole family" said Mother
Cottontail proudly, "and I mean to
call him TopDy." SO Toppy he was
called, and between you and |, he
was proud of his name even though
he pretended he would rather have
one more like the other rabbits had.
Now when Toppy got ready to
leave his home, he was very particu-
lar as to where he would live. He
had been brought up IN a home in a
hollow log, and even though his
mother had always been very care
full and had raised as many of her
