SELECTING A. HIRED MAN.

Selecting a hired man is a purely
business proposition and usually the
personal qualifications of the candidate
for the position are the only things
considered by the employer.
Idaho is called upon this year to select
two candidates for the United States
Senate. These men will be called upon
during their terms to pass upon the
peace treaty which will close the great
war and also upon many things con-
nected with the results of the war
They should be men Of the widest p IS
sible experience in public affairs, nen
of answering character, men of de-
cision, men of original and workable
ideas, men whose steadfastness is SC
well known and undoubted thai every
citizen of the state will know insrin.
stively just where they viii stand on
every great question. Men who wob-
bic and spar for personal advantages,
and fan the air until they eaten the
drift shouting populace and follow the
noise regardless of it's apparent des-
tilation should be shelved for private
life. At the primary election there will
be no Republican against the re nom
ination of Senator Borah for the hong
term. But for the Fort teen Frank
r. Gooding and Juge Ailshie are rival
contestant for honors. Judge Aiishie
is urging his candidacy largely on his
geographical location. He is an attor-
ney of prominence, has served on the
Supreme court bench of the state and
figured considerably in state politics.
Two years ago he made a great break
about crooked deals which were on
and which demanded unusual vigilance
on the part of the public to avert
He never revealed just the nature Of
the deals or who was connected with
them so that the public is still batting
the air over the question he raised. II
entrusted with the senatorship it is a
query in many minds as to&ust how
often and how soon he might go off
at half cock again about some mytho-
logical crooIedness which he could or
wooId not Explain.
His opponent, Frank r. Gooding, has
served two successful terms as Gov
ernor of Idaho. He served during
period when constructive questions of
great moment were uppermost. Prac-
tically all of the great irrigation pro-
jects of Idaho were started during
his term of Office. OF late he has done
valient service for the state as Federal
Fuel Administrator. His public SER
vices have fitted him with experience
beyond 1y other citizen of the state
to fill the position he seeks.

A misave from a French poilu, who has tasted his first free K.

more, has "Mullegan" (acute accent over the e.. A hardy British
Tommy spells the surname of innumerable Irish kings. "Mullgn;" a

addresses the X. of G, chairman as the sahib Mullighan;' a member of
the Polish legion writes the name that for a thousand years has braved
the battle and the breeze, Mullganzyk, and one of our own valiant COL
'o,"t boys back from an excursion in No Mans Land, states that one
hand is missing, but that he Is alternately smoking a X. Of c. cigar and
writing his letter with the other hand; Mailing from Missouri, he spells
the chanmans name Mulegan.
And a Czecho-Slovak warrior spells the name Myzillzgn. But Will
liam j. Muligan has this consolaton-a chairman called by any other
name is just as efficient.
He fought, did the Hun,
For his place In the sun,
But he couldn't maintain
His place in the reign.

ones of which time is bound to rob
That would make a woman encour-
age her husband to develop every pos.
sthle power of mind Il body, to use
his talents, to study, TO learn, to grow,
instead Of sinking into a mere money
making machine, or an automaton that
worked on a shuttle between home and
office, and has no knowledge or inter-
est outside Of the shop.
1t would make the man encourage his
wife to keep up her little accomplish
ments, to practice her music, to keep
up her painting and drawing, to pur-
sue whatever studies she had taken
up before marriage, 10 even go In Tor
clubs and movements II she has execu-
tive ability. or to become a champion
tennis or golf player II h has ath-
letic tendencies.
He would help her develop whatever
facility she had into a faculty instead
of letting her degenerate Into q flabbys
peevish, aimless creature whose whole
horizon is bounded by ner wi home
and a bargain sale.
Nothing would do more to eliminate
the dullness Of married life than for
husbands and wives to try 70 help each
other to make the best OF themselves,
instead Of praying for grace and pa
thence to stand each other as they do
now.
Indeed, it is the duty Of husbands
and wives to try to deveiop each other.
IF a man marries a girl who has a
little opportunities Of education and
who is not bookish, instead of giving
up his own reading ana sinking to her
plane Of illiteraCy, he should read to
her, talk to her about books and try
to get her interested in them. He
should try to lift her up instead of
letting her be a milestone about his
neck to pull him down.
Men are much to blame when they
have blockhead wives, for there are
very few women who will not respond
| to their husbands interest in their de-
velopment, and who are not willing to
work and study If their husbands de-
sire them to.
OF course it must pc admitted that
when husbands and wives undertake to
| correct each others rauIts they tread
on dangerous ground, because they
strike a death blow at vanity. Each
likes to believe that ne or she Is per-
feet in the eyes OF the other, and 1t
is a shock to discover that the n
whom you suppose has regarded you
as an angel considers your taste IN
novels that Of a chamoermaid, or the
being whom you have supposed re-
garded you as a hero shudders when
she sees you eat peas.
Still the thing can be done II 1t Is
done tactfully and gently. Love In an
anesthetic under whose influence even
faults can be amputated without pain,
and certainly the marriages in which
affection and interest v die are
those in which the husband and wife
help each other to n mutual growth
and development.

MISERABLE SERVICE.

The people Of Memphis have been patient with the
Memphis Gas and Electric company to the point where patience
less something willing to accept any service with supinc rcGg-
nation,
We do not want to be understood as confusing the efforts
that have been made by the local officials and employees with the
indifference of the corporation itself. We are assured that those
in immediate charge of the physical operation of the plant have
own and control the concern seem to think that the best wav
to get an increased price for their product is to destroy every
sembance of efficient service.
Under unusual conditions the people have endured many
hardships and inconvenience, but it is time to serve notice TO
the corporations that the war is over.
The company has a contract with the city and the con
ditions should be fulfilled, When the two companies were per
mitted to consolidate it probably was not thought that the sec
ond or emergency plant would be dismanted and the ciy left
helpless when a steam pipe burst or a water pipe burst, but
such seems to be the case.
The city has a contract with the company for stree lob,e
which have burned off and on and with no apparent regularity.
IL would be interesting to know what deductions the citv has
made from the companys bill for lights when there we're no
lights. The city has no right to pay for something il does not
get unless the people are consulted.
The people are warranted in demanding service, and thew
are entitled to have it when they pay for it.
we have a new supreme court and the decision az the
supreme court IN this case (the fee billy will be looked for.
ward to as an index as to whether that court itself is looking
forward or looking backward."-The Commercial ApDeal We
are persuaded that the court will look in neither direction. but
to the constitutionalty Of the measure. We can conceive of
nothing more lamentable than the spectacle of the HIGHEST court
in the state looking into the future to see what would hanncn
to the court if it should decide the case one way. or looking
into the past to see what happened to other courts il the case
should be decided another way.
