FRANK CARMODY WRITES
MOST INTERESTING LETTER
Expresses Pity for Civilians Who are
not in on the Deal

The following letter was written
by Frank Carmody, who will be re-
membered by many Blackfoot people,
to Fremont Kutnewsky, former re-
porter on the Republican and trans
mitted to US for publication:
Enroute East, Sunday.
Dear Fremont:
Well, at last, after much fuss and
leavetaking we have left old Camp
Lewis behind and are rolling along
toward the east coast and lover
there" We pulled out this morning
at 1000 and altho some of the fell
lows had fair ones there to see them
on, ! managed to get away without
any sentimental expressions, other
than those occasioned by a few hand
shakes.
In the end Of Pullman car we
have an orderly room rugged up and
the inevitable typewriter accom-
panies me, as you will see. Its quite
an interesting experience-sittinp
here pounding away while enjoying
Washington's scenery and looking
over the pretty faces while we pass
thru an occasional town.

ment. Ten months in one place is

ing for the. surroundings even tho
they be somewhat rough at times,
and the people of Tacoma and Seattle
are SO hospitable that one feels at
home almost.
We are taking to France with us
about 80 raw recruits just out of
the ohe-hundred-sivtieth Depot Bri-
gade and 1t looks as tho we might
be in for at least six months train

afternoon we started out for exercise

STILL PREFERS THE
OLD WAY

Editor Jones of the Optimist
notes our recent declaration that
the books Of this county ought to be
audited every two years, and our
other declaration that Bingham
county can be made the best-gov-
erned county in the state, and he
AYERS that it is impractical and can't
be done. He says that owing to hui
man faults this county will go on
being governed about as it has been
which is to say that public money
will be wasted all the time and that
at intervals some of it will be stolen
outright, and that is cannot be pre-
vented until human nature is COM
pletely changed" He then attacks
the attitude of the Idaho Republican
regarding he misuse of public funds
and says it should follow the ex-
ample Of the Savior, who merely
went out among the people in a
spirit Of humility to try to improve
them by moral suasion and never
sought to drive anybody.
Our contemporary has probably
forgotten the story Of the Savior
driving the brokers and money
changers out of the temple and over
throwing the seats of those that sold
doves for sacrifice, saying that what
had been intended as a house of
worship had become q den of thieves.
1t was along that line that the Idaho
Republican and the people cleaned
up the court house in 1914, and it
was amusing to see the chief priests
asking that same old question, by
what authority doest thou these
things?" And we answered it in
about the same way that the Savior
did. We still think it will have
good effect On the average public Of
fetal to audit the books every two
years, Notwithstanding the antics Of
county-seat folks who are saying,
Hush! Forget it,"

Adding Wealth to
Bingham County

People who want to eat eggs these
days and know that each egg the,
cook will be absolutely fresh can get
them from registered hens on duty
at the Morningside poultry farm a
mile east of Blackfoot.
Morn1ngside is conducted on
scientific lines by Fehnel and Kirch.

nave been breeding chickens under
such careful supervision that every
fertile egg when laid is laid away
with record, and each chick that il
Matched is Of certain known parent
age dated back for some generations
of selected stock.
When eggs are to be used for food
they are gathered just as carefully
and marketed right away. Eggs
created for market are sterile. and
Will keep longer for that reason, but
Morningside delivers them to the
customer fresh. When you break
sterile egg you do not find any
embryo or life-germ in it. That ia
why it keeps longer.

ing great wealth to this county bv

GUESS THAT'S
RIGHT

The Optimist of last Friday re-
marks that since the Non-Partisan
league has fixed" thing at Boise,
and with Editor Trego looking after
the county situation there is really
nothing left for the people to worry
about.
There is merit in the remark.
This community has furnished evil
dence that the league speakers were
not wholly wrong in saying there
were wrongs and steals upheld by
cliques; and as for Trego looking
after the county, it might have been
better If he had kept on looking into
more matters while he was at it.

Rev. G. G. Stull

Rev. q. q. StuII
Rev. George c. Stulf, the Metho-
dist divine who spent five years of
his life in the Blackfoot pastorate,
from 1887 to 1892 is now somewhere

est chaplain in the United States
army and the men of his regiment
do not hesitate to say he is the best.
He was one of those active, en-
ergetic men who always wanted to-
have hand in public questions and
also in the matters of the individual
citizen great or small. He had the
happy faculty of remembering peo-
pies names and of being able to call
the names instantly when he saw
the faces. He seems to remember

has been down, not up.
The county cash accounts have
been kept In loose and unbusiness-
like manner that invited q soften
ing of mems business conscience.
The fact that the books were never
audited by any outside firm totally
free from local friendships and
sympathies, led men to think that
they never would be, and when men
think that books will never be aud
tied, temptation begins.
The efforts that have been made
lately to suppress the facts about
the loss of the public money, prove
conclusively that If the auditing had
been done by certain clique of local
men, the story of the shortage would
never have come to the knowledge
of the people.
If the county officials had made
practice of having the books aud
tied every two years, the steal just
discovered would never have been
made, one or more of our public men
would have had brighter honor,
several innocent women and children
would not now be carrying load
of dread in their hearts, and num-
Der of local men possessing some
mighty good rats of character
would not now be attracting suspic-
ion to themselves by objecting to the
publication of the simple truth.
If the county records had been
audited every two years by an out
side firm, it would not have been
necessary for the editor of the Idaho
Republican to sit with the commits
siOners and stop the payment of il
legal bills day after day, and each
edition week after week, publish &C
counts~of waste and extravaganza or
list personal bills paid with public
money for almost anybody from dis
trict judge down to school superin-
tendent and probation officer.
Neither would it have been neces-
sary for the Blackfoot Optimist to
be forever apologizing for them and
denying the facts or saying that dis
honesty is to be expected, as it did
in those stormy days and in its last
issue of July 5.
