The moral of THE Man Who Stayed
at Home" William Moore Patch's
melodramatic spy play is that there
are two sorts of spies. Thus speaks
Mr.. Patch himself:
zone kind of spy was represented In
the Revolutionary days by Major
Andre on the British side and by Capt.
Nathan Hale on the American side.
Both of these men We're gentlemen
and brave soldiers. For military pur-
poses. under superior orders. they
risked and gave their lives within the
enemy's lines. 1t takes a brave and
intelligent man to perform this sort of
spying, and the work Is accounted an
honorable service in all countries.
Though it is necessary to put such
military spies to death II they are
taken. they are awarded n soldiers
death. They are shot, not hung; and
often they receive the honors of war
in their burial
THE other sort of spy is not so
noble. He takes no chance in an
enemys camp. He lives as civilian
in a peaceful community and pretends
to be a loyal citizen. Not infrequently
he is a citizen or subject OF the country
he betrays. 1t is very easy for him to
pretend loyalty. But he sneaks about
obtaining and forwarding information,
destroying property. poisoning public
sentiment. setting fires and working
incalculable injury. If such person
is detected in his treason what is the
legitimate penalty that he pays? He
does not die a soldiers death and re-
ceive the honors of war He is hanged
like a Murderer, or should be hanged.

as the Shissler ranch, a place of $50
acres, several years ago, at time we
believe when he had just completed his
contract with the government for carry

an undertaking which ON account of the
parcel post feature which was not in the
contract at the time but was later add

sought after. He moved out ON this
place which is one of the oldest ranches
of the county and was considerably run
down, due to neglect which usually falls
to place that is continually rented.
But Nate was undaunted and took hold
of the job with an ~ will spirit. -

Candidate for State Treasurer?
Lieutenant Governor Parker, while in
Boise, was frequently spoken of as
possible candidate on the Democratic
ticket at the primary election for the
nomination for state treasurer. A NUM-
Der of Lieutenant Governor Parker's
friends in Boise declare that he should
be candidate for the nomination and
it is believed that, if he so announces
himself, he will have no opposition at
the primary. At the general election,
his opponent no doubt would be John W.
Eagleson, present state treasurer, who
is a Republican.
Although Lieutenant Governor Parker,
while in Grangeville, did not discuss the
possibility of his becoming a candidate
for the treasurership, the prevailing
opinion is that if he feels his party
wants him to enter the contest, he win
be candidate.
A Good Man for the office.

prominent Cottonwood business man, is
